The Phoenix Arises Chapter 22.3

Chapter 22 . 3: Sharing a Room

Xuanyuan Mo immediately held Duanmu Xi and leapt up into the air .

“Reveal yourself!”

The clear cold shout resounded in the quiet dark night, sounding exceptionally authouritative .

“Your Highness . ”

The black robed person suddenly fell onto one knee in a kneel .

“Who are you?” Duanmu Xi furrowed up her brows slightly, her face wary .

The black robed person pulled down the veil covering her face and replied: “Your subordinate Phoenix Fifth, here on the Emperor’s orders to locate Your Highness . ”

“You hold proof of your identity?”

Duanmu Xi asked as she looked at Phoenix Fifth coldly, not missing the slightest change in expression on her face .

[Proof?]

Phoenix Fifth thought as she looked at Duanmu Xi in surprise . [What’s happening? Her Highness does not seem to recognize her . ]

Phoenix Fifth then glanced at Xuanyuan Mo, hesitating as she considered whether to bring out the Phoenix Token .

“This man belongs to me . You do not need to be wary of him . ”

Seeming to have seen through Phoenix Fifth’s worry, Duanmu Xi ordered in a cold voice .

Xuanyuan Mo’s handsome face reddened uncontrollably once again, but a sweetness also spilled into his heart .

And Phoenix Fifth’s face was one of surprise .

[Her Highness… . . Her Highness has actually found a beau, and that youth is indeed rather flawlessly handsome, even comparable to His Majesty, the Phoenix Empress .

Noticing Phoenix Fifth’s measuring gaze, Duanmu Xi shifted herself slightly to stand in front of Xuanyuan Mo, but her height did not allow her to block Xuanyuan Mo out adequately .

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s actions, Phoenix Fifth’s lips stiffened discreetly .

[Her Highness was really… . . ]

[This character trait was an exact duplicate of Her Majesty herself, just as domineering and possessive . ]

Phoenix Fifth then pulled out the gold token shaped in the image of a phoenix from inside her robe and handed it over to Duanmu Xi, which had a tiny character that read as “five” carved in its back .

“This is the command token given exclusively only to the Phoenix Guards . Will Your Highness please have a look . ”

Duanmu Xi did not take the token but just gave it one cold glance .

“Rise . I believe you . ”

“Thank you Your Highness . ”

Phoenix Fifth rose to her feet and stuffed the command token back into her robe .

“Is my mother well?”

Duanmu Xi turned to look out the window as she asked softly .

Phoenix Fifth was slightly taken aback a moment before she lowered her head and clasped her hand over her fist before her .

“Your Highness, Her Majesty has been worried for Your Highness’ safety and fell ill some time back, but is feeling much better now . If Her Majesty knows that Your Highness has come back safely, Her Majesty’s condition will surely recover without any medicine . ”

Duanmu Xi’s brows knitted up tightly . [She really did fall ill? That was similar to what she had dreamt . ]

“Make arrangements for me to return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible . ”

“As Your Highness wishes . ”
