The Phoenix Arises Chapter 27.2

Chapter 27 . 2: Heaven’s on My Side!

[Haven’t seen her for more than a year, Her Highness has grown up and looks more beautiful . But Her Highness does not seem to remember them and isn’t as close to them like she was before . ]

After everything was all prepared, Zi Wan came over to stand behind Duanmu Xi and bowed in greeting . “Your Highness Crown Princess, the water is ready and Your Highness can begin with your bath . ”

“Mm . ”

“Then allow your servant help Your Highness undress . ” Zi Yan stepped forward, thinking to help Duanmu Xi undress .

Duanmu Xi turned around and dodged away from her, before ordering coldly .

“No need . Both of you are dismissed . ”

She didn’t want people to come help her take off her clothes, and it was the same even if they were women .

Zi Wan and Ai Yan were taken aback but they still bowed respectfully as they retreated their way out .

“Your servant shall take her leave . ”

Till Zi Wan and Zi Yan had gone out from the room, Duanmu Xi then came to stand before the bathtub and began to disrobe .

The warm water washed away the exhaustion on Duanmu Xi’s body . Coming back here made her feel like she had come home .

[Now, she has Father, Mother, Snowy, and there’s also Little Shadow and Lan Ze . She’s no longer lonely, but if Grandfather was here as well, then it would be even better . ]

[Grandfather, Little Xi misses you… . . ]

After about half an incense stick’s time, Duanmu Xi was done with her bath . She wrapped the bath towel around herself and stepped out from the bath .

“Have the helpers come in . ”

Hearing the call, Zi Wan and Zi Yan pushed the room door open and bowed before Duanmu Xi . “Your Highness . ”

“Get me a suit of white clothes . ”

Yes, Your Highness”

— At the main doors of Duke Jing’s Manor . —

Duanmu Shuang climbed out of the sedan with a darkened face .

“Summon the Lady Heir to come see me in my study . ”

She had just taken a step inside the manor when Duanmu Shuang turned to give Black Plum the order .

“Yes Your Highness . ”

After a low bow, Black Plum turned and walked away in another direction .

After a cup of tea’s time, Duanmu Qing came into the study .

Seeing Duanmu Shuang standing by the window with her hands behind her back, Duanmu Qing furrowed her brows .

“Mother?”

“The Crown Princess has come back . ”

Duanmu Shuang still had her gaze looking outside the window, her voice sounding rather faraway .

“What! ? She managed to come back?” Just a few short words was enough to make Duanmu Qing jump up in rage .

Hearing the surprised cry, Duanmu Shuang knitted up her brows and turned to look at Duanmu Qing looking highly displeased .

Detecting Duanmu Shuang’s displeasure, Duanmu Qing immediately restrained her temper .

“Then what about those assassins we sent?”

Duanmu Shuang’s eyes flashed with a cold glint as venomous as a viper’s as she spat out three words through gritted teeth .

“Completely wiped out . ”

She had sent out so many elite mystic warriors but not a single one had come back alive .
