Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King

Outside the Zhuque Hall of the imperial palace of the Zhuque Empire, the officials left one by one, some of whom were still whispering.

“Why didn’t Her Majesty the Empress attend the morning court again today?”

“I heard that Her Majesty the Empress seemed to be sick. She should be too worried about Her Highness the Crown Princess.”

“Possibly. Her Highness the Crown Princess has been missing for almost two years. By now, there has been no news about her at all.”

“Alas, if Her Highness the Crown Princess doesn’t come back, the Zhuque Empire will witness a significant change.”

“Enough. Let’s get going.”

The officials just left. It was quiet again outside the Zhuque Hall. Yet, who knew what kind of turmoil would happen after the momentary peace?

…

In the Tongxin Hall.

“Xue, you look much better today.”

Huangfu Che fed the last spoonful of medicine to Duanmu Xue and wiped her lips with a napkin.

“Your Majesty, Princess Jing asks to meet you.”

Duanmu Xue’s close maid, Hongfeng reported to her in a low voice.

Hearing the maid mention Princess Jing, Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue frowned at the same time.

Duanmu Xue took a glance at Huangfu Che’s reaction first. As she saw his frown, she immediately waved her hand and said, “I don’t want to meet her. Let her leave.”

Hongfeng was about to go out and reply when the other maid of Duanmu Xue, Hongye walked inside.

“Your Majesty, Lord Left Prime Minister wants to meet you.”

“I don’t want to meet her either. I don’t want to meet anyone.”

Duanmu Xue’s voice was totally impatient. These people were so annoying. Why couldn’t they give her a break?

Just after she shouted, noises came from outside.

“Since my sister is sick, of course I should come to visit her. Who dares to stop me…”

Duanmu Xue flew into a rage and thumped the medicine bowl on the ground from the table.

“Da*n it! How dare they break into my resting chamber!”

“Xue, calm down. Let me go out and take a look first.”

Huangfu Che stroked her back gently.

“You mustn’t go. I hate it when she looks at you. Humph. Hongfeng, escort me out. I must meet her on my own.”

Duanmu Xue lifted the quilt and got off the bed. Hongfeng immediately went forward to help her.

Huangfu Che slightly knitted his eyebrows. “I had better go out with you. I’ll be worried if you go out alone.”

Looking at Huangfu Che’s worried eyes, Duanmu Xue had to compromise.

“Fine, but you cannot look at her.”

Huangfu Che smiled resignedly.

“Rest assured. My eyes are only fixed on you. Why would I look at her?”

“Summon Princess Jing and Left Prime Minister Qin.”

Hongfeng walked to the door of the hall and announced.

Shortly after that, two women walked inside.

The woman ahead was wearing a black brocade robe, who was slightly chubby. She was coveting Huangfu Che obsessively with her black eyes.

She was Princess Jing, Duanmu Shuang.

Behind her was a scheming beautiful woman, the Left Prime Minister, Qin Zhen.

“Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness.”

“Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness.”

Upon entering the hall, the two of them curtsied to Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che but Duanmu Xue didn’t allow them to rise.

The atmosphere in Tongxin Hall was quite tense. No one dared to make any movement. They even breathed lightly.

After drinking a bowl of tea, Duanmu Xue finally said, “Shuang, Prime Minister Qin, rise.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Duanmu Shuang and Qin Zhen rose as told, retreated aside and stood there with their heads lowered.

“Shuang, what brought you to my Tongxin Hall today? And it is such a coincidence that you came with Qin Zhen together.”

Hearing Duanmu Xue’s cold voice, Duanmu Shuang kept sweating.

Qin Zhen also sweated in fright.

Did Her Majesty find out anything…
