Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239 - Empress Star
Jun Xiqing had always been intelligent as a child and was skilled in the art of disguise . She was well-versed in the subject of plastic surgery too, and could tell that this stunning beauty had not had any work done to her face . Her soft and gentle looks were gifted by the heavens .
Most people in this world had similar faces .
Even in the entertainment industry, there were actresses who looked so much like each other that people couldn’t tell them apart .
This stunning beauty looked like Elder Sister Mo’er’s twin . Even her gentle gaze and charm were the same .
Dongfang Ruoli looked at Lu Yeming and smiled gently . “West Duke, it’s been a long time since we last met . Have you been well?”
As Lu Yeming looked at Dongfang Ruoli, he said warmly in a low voice, “Thank you for your concern, Holy Lady . ”
“I personally made this pouch . West Duke, please accept it . ”
Lu Yeming didn’t reach out to take it . He glanced sideways and saw Jun Xiqing’s small face in the window .
He had been discovered!
Jun Xiqing blinked quickly and laughed under her breath . “So West Duke is meeting a pretty lady here at night . ”
Seeing her cold demeanor, Lu Yeming frowned .
Jun Xiqing’s bright watery eyes landed on Dongfang Ruoli’s body and she said aloud, “Wow, this Fairy Sister is really beautiful . The two of you look like a match made in heaven . ”
Hearing her words of praise, Dongfang Ruoli blushed and looked at Lu Yeming tenderly .
“The two of you have a nice chat . I won’t bother you . ” Jun Xiqing shut the blinds in their faces .
“West Duke, who is that?” Dongfang Ruoli asked .
Without taking another look at Dongfang Ruoli, Lu Yeming gazed at the tightly-shut blinds and said, “Holy Lady, I need to settle something, so I’ll be taking my leave first . ”
He walked away .
Dongfang Ruoli froze, her hands still poised to hand the pouch to him . She looked over, only to see Lu Yeming stop in front of her door and knock loudly .
A light and breezy voice floated out of the room . “Who’s that?”
Lu Yeming pressed his thin lips together unhappily and said, “Open the door . ”
“West Duke, it’s late and I want to rest . We can talk tomorrow . ”
Dongfang Ruoli’s glass eyes darkened . How dare the woman inside shut the West Duke out?
“You’re really not going to open it?” he chuckled .
“No . ”
As soon as he said that, Lu Yeming raised his long legs and kicked the door down .
Dongfang Ruoli’s eyes widened at the loud noise .
He stood tall and dignified in front of her, coldness emanating from him . She had never seen him kick down a door before . His razor-sharp trousers were wrapped around his long and shapely legs . An aura of arrogance and indifference surrounded him as he kicked the door down .
Who knew that a woman could make him so angry .
Make him so different from his usual self .
Maybe he didn’t even notice the change in himself . The difference in him was so slight that no one would have noticed it anyways .
Jun Xiqing exclaimed as he kicked the door down . He walked in and closed the door behind him .
…
The soundproofing in this room was excellent, so Dongfang Ruoli couldn’t hear what they were saying or doing inside at all .
“Holy Lady, it’s getting cold . Let’s go back,” said Xiao Guo, one of the maids .
“Do you know who is staying in that room?”
“Holy Lady, I’ve heard that the third daughter of the Jun Family, Jun Xiqing, is currently staying there . ”
“Jun Xiqing…” Dongfang Ruoli repeated her name silently .
Xiao Guo smiled and said, “Holy Lady, you don’t need to worry about her . Monk Xuanyi has once visited here to give Holy Lady a divination . He said that Holy Lady will be the Phoenix Queen and become the mother of the world!”
That’s right, she was destined to become the Phoenix Queen .
Dongfang Ruoli’s red lips curved upwards . She was worrying too much .
“Xiao Guo, how old am I this year?”
“Twenty-one . ”
Twenty-one .
Monk Xuanyi had said that the year she turned twenty-one would, she would ride the phoenix and become the Phoenix Queen .
There were only two months left of her being twenty-one . Winter had come and the situation in Country A was only going to become more volatile in these two months .
Standing at the pavilion, Dongfang Ruoli raised her head to look at four stars in the sky .
Her mind flashed back to all those years ago .
Monk Xuanyi had been standing with her as he pointed out the four stars and said, “Holy Lady, do you see those four stars?”
“I do . ”
The brightest star in the middle is the Fairy and the one beside it is the Emperor, who was born for the Fairy . Without the Fairy, there would be no emperor .
The young her had asked, “What about me?”
“You’re the little star beside the Queen, the Servant . The Servant will always be in the shadows of the Fairy . ”
“I’m only a shadow?”
“That’s right, but the Servant is also the Phoenix Queen . When you turn twenty-one, the Fairy will become a sacrifice . ”
“Sacrifice?”
“That’s right, the Fairy is only a sacrifice . The Emperor is going to clear the skies himself and fill it with color again and you will be the one by his side, ruling . ”
The three stars were all clustered together, but there was still another at the side, cold and beautiful .
“What about that star?” she asked .
“That star’s fate is tied to the lone Emperor’s . ”
“He’s the Emperor and I’m the Phoenix Queen, so why do we need this other ill-fated person? Monk Xuanyi, is there any way to get rid of this star?”
Monk Xuanyi stroked his beard and shook his head mysteriously . “That star is precious . It is also known as… the Empress . ”
Dongfang Ruoli lowered her lashes and smiled gently . “Xiao Guo, let’s go . ”
“Yes, Holy Lady . ”
…
In the room .
Jun Xiqing looked at the man who had just invaded her room . She raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, “West Duke, I never knew that you were such a player . You even have a lover in the Palace . ”
As Lu Yeming walked forwards, he looked at her silently . His long fingers pinched her small chin and he asked, “You’re jealous?”
Jun Xiqing smiled and said, “Please let go . Don’t touch me before you’ve given your hands a good wash!”
“…”
West Duke, you’re already my man . I’ve never had the habit of sharing my man, so I think you’re pretty disgusting . ”
She had turned his words from just now back on him and said she thought that he was dirty .
What a sharp tongue she had!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and spoke from the outside . “Master, the Liyuan stage just opened . We should get moving . ”
Lu Yeming remained emotionless as he looked lightly as Jun Xiqing . “Liyuan stage is a restricted area in the Palace and is only open during a full moon . I’ll be retrieving the Red Spider Lily from there . ”
“Murong Ling is not a bad person, but his father Murong Fu has shown signs of rebelling . If anything happens, Ah Da will take you out of here . ”
He was leaving Ah Da with her .
Was it to guard her or keep an eye on her?
But Jun Xiqing only smiled . “West Duke, you’d better hope nothing happens, because I will be making my escape!”
