The Phoenix Arises Chapter 38.1

Chapter 38 . 1: Coming Out to Quell the Upheaval

Deep into the night .

“Little Xi… . ”

Xuanyuan Mo who was sleeping in the military camp was abruptly awoken from his sleep, drenched in cold sweat .

“Yu Ying . ”

“Your subordinate is here . ”

Yu Ying immediately appeared before Xuanyuan Mo after hearing his summons .

“I will leave the matters here to you . ”

Xuanyuan Mo said as he got off the bed in a hurry .

Yu Ying was startled as he lifted his gaze and said, “Your Highness… you… .

“This Prince has some other matters to attend to, if there is any thing, send a letter to this Prince . ”

After putting on his armour, Xuanyuan Mo rushed out immediately .

“Yes, Your Highness . ” Yu Ying bowed .

“Li Shang . ”

“Your subordinate is here . ”

Li Shang who was guarding outside the tent immediately saluted .

“Bring three thousand elite soldiers and follow this Prince to the Vermillion Bird Empire . ”

After relaying his command, Xuanyuan Mo did not wait for any response and quickly leapt onto his horse and rode off .

Li Shang and Yu Ying both exchanged glances for a brief moment before they immediately went to carry out his orders .

Vermillion Bird Empire, Imperial Study .

Huangfu Che was accompanying Duanmu Xue and they were going through the memorials when they were suddenly interrupted by Red Leaf’s frantic call .

“Your Majesty, something bad has happened!”

Red Leaf ran in with a flustered face .

Duanmu Xue placed her jade pen down and looked at Red Leaf with displeasure .

“What happened? Why are you in such a fluster?”

“Your Majesty, Duke Jing has rebelled!”

Red Leaf’s face was pale and when she made her report, her entire back was drenched in cold sweat .

Damn this Duanmu Shuang, she actually dared to stage a rebellion?

“What’s the situation now?” Duanmu Xue’s expression sunk and her voice turned chilly .

Seeing that there was not a trace of panic on Duanmu Xue’s face, Red Leaf also gradually calmed herself down .

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Duke Jing has brought a 100,000 strong army and they have arrived outside the capital . The city gates have been closed and Duke Jing is shouting at the southern gates, she said…said… . ”

Duanmu Xue furrowed her brows and gestured for her to continue impatiently .

“Speak, I will not hold you responsible . ”

Red Leaf took a deep breath and steeled her heart as she said: “She said that…Your Majesty . . is a cowardly tortoise and only knows how to hide in the palace . She also said that Your Majesty only knows how to hide behind a man, and…”

For the words spoken after, Red Leaf did not dare to say anything further and quivered in place meekly .

Duanmu Xue narrowed her eyes dangerously and her deep purple eyes were filled with murderous intent .

“Phoenix Guards . ”

When they heard the call, fourteen black robed women appeared in the Imperial Study in an instant .

“Phoenix Tenth and Eleventh, you will be defending the East Gate . Twelfth and Thirteenth, defend the West Gate . Fourteenth and Fifteenth, go defend the North Gate . ”

“Yes . ”

The Phoenix Guards who received the order left in a flash and rushed to their appointed locations .

Looking at the few remaining Phoenix Guards, a glint flashed by Duanmu Xue’s eyes .

“Phoenix Fifth, guard the Palace and send people to guard the Phoenix Song Palace . Kill any who dare to trespass!”

No matter what, she must ensure the safety of her beloved Little Xi .

“Your subordinate obeys . ”

After Phoenix Fifth received her order, she also left swiftly .

“The rest of you, follow this Emperor to the South Gate . This Emperor would like to have to look at this good Imperial Sister of this Emperor’s . ”

Her cold voice was full of disdain .

“Yes . ” The Phoenix Guards bowed .

“Xue Er, let’s go together .
