The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 1

Chapter 001 She Didn’t Believe It
Da Yue.

Late at night. Phoenix Ceremony Hall.

Xiao Xi’s hair was messy as she lay in front of the warm bed. Her pale face was tightly knitted between her eyebrows, and her snow-white dress had already been soaked in blood.

“Nanny Cui … Nanny Cui …”

The pain in his lower abdomen filled Xiao Xiwei’s voice with fear and fear.

“Sister, what’s wrong with you?” As the bead curtain gently shook, Xiao Xile’s beautiful face slowly appeared in front of Xiao Xi Wei.

“Xi Le … Xi Le, quickly call the imperial physician!” Seeing the person, Xiao Xiwei’s panicked eyes suddenly lit up with a trace of hope.

Three months ago, Swallow King Chu Xizhi was killed by His Majesty Chu Yan’s decree for plotting against him. Prince Yan’s 131 mouths were all decapitated for public display, but Prince Yan Chu Xi was nowhere to be found. Princess Yan Xiao Xi Le, on the other hand, changed her body and became the Emperor’s new pet, Imperial Concubine Shu.

“This Phoenix Ceremony Hall is truly magnificent. Big sister is truly blessed to be able to live in such a place.” Xiao Xile smiled faintly, the corner of her skirt moved slightly, and she turned around and sat in front of the couch, looking around with interest.

“You …” The pain in her lower abdomen made Xiao Xiwei have no time to care about Xiao Xile. She looked at the door with difficulty and endured the pain and called out again, “Nanny Cui …”

“So you’re looking for Nanny Cui, sister.” Xiao Xile smiled, then cleared his throat and shouted outside the door, “Nanny Cui, come in!”

As soon as her voice fell, she saw a woman about forty years old walk in with her head lowered.

Seeing Nanny Cui, Xiao Xiwei was delighted in her heart. She quickly reached out and tugged at the corner of Nanny Cui’s clothes, “Nanny Cui, quickly … quickly call a doctor.”

Nanny Cui, however, seemed as if she hadn’t heard anything as she stood there motionlessly.

“Granny Cui” Xiao Xi raised her head and looked at Granny Cui with puzzlement and doubt in her eyes.

“Nanny Cui, didn’t you hear the Empress call you?” Xiao Xile was playing with the ruby ring on her right index finger as she glanced sideways at Nanny Cui.

“This servant didn’t hear you.” Nanny Cui still stood respectfully in front of Xiao Xile with her head lowered.

“Granny Cui” Xiao Xiwei gritted his teeth in disbelief as he looked at the nurse who had brought him up with one hand.

“Tsk tsk, so much blood has flowed out. Looks like this child won’t be able to survive.” Xiao Xile looked down at Xiao Xi condescendingly and sighed, but her slender eyes could not conceal her pride and excitement.

“You, you!” Xiao Xi gritted her teeth and looked ruthlessly at Nanny Cui.

The bowl of tranquilizer soup she drank before she fell asleep was served by Nanny Cui.

The pain of tearing her lower abdomen became more and more severe. She bit her lip and finally moved her gaze away, “Red Rain, Red Rain …”

“Sister, there’s no need to shout. She can’t hear you anymore.” Xiao Xile gracefully stood up and walked to Xiao Xiwei with a condescending smile.

“You … What do you mean?” Xiao Xi looked at Xiao Xile with difficulty, a trace of panic flashing through her clear pupils.

The corner of Xiao Xile’s mouth hooked slightly. He bent down and raised Xiao Xi Wei’s chin. “What, don’t you understand now? Why am I here? And why is there no one in this huge Phoenix Ceremony Hall?”

“Yes … it’s you …”

“That’s right. It’s me. I asked Nanny Cui to put medicine in your Soup of Tranquility. I also ordered my staff to kill all the palace maids who were close to you in the Phoenix Ceremony Hall.” At this point, Xiao Xile paused, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became even brighter. “I did everything.”

Even though she had already guessed something, Xiao Xile’s words still made her feel a bone-chilling chill in her heart.

In the quiet hall, a strong smell of blood gradually spread out.

Why? Why?

They were sisters, so why would she kill her in such a scheming manner!

“If you don’t die, how can I become the most respected queen of the Great Yue Kingdom?” As if knowing what Xiao Xiwei was thinking, Xiao Xile stretched out her hand to pick up her messy green silk and affixed it to her lips as she smiled charmingly.

“You … you dare!” Xiao Xi bit her lips and glared at Xiao Xile, her voice slightly trembling.

Xiao Xile suddenly covered her mouth and laughed softly. Her slender eyes were filled with mockery and joy. “Why hasn’t elder sister understood yet? Why am I here? How dare Nanny Cui poison you? Why isn’t there anyone in this huge Phoenix Rites Hall? Haven’t elder sister ever suspected anything?”

Somewhere in his heart, someone seemed to have stabbed a dagger into it and was stirring it with all his might.

The pain pierced through his heart.

It’s all for the answer.

Xiao Xi bit her lower lip and the pain in her body gradually became numb, but the pain in her heart became clearer and clearer. “No … he won’t … he won’t do this …”

“Is that so? Or do you not believe me, sister?” Xiao Xile smiled sweetly and moved slightly. She seemed to have inadvertently stepped on Xiao Xi Wei’s fingers.

Xiao Xi cried out in pain. Just as he was about to push her away, he heard her voice again. “If you hadn’t been brave enough to marry your daughter and have another uncle who is the richest man in Jiangnan, how could the Emperor have married you? From beginning to end, you were just a chess piece …”

“No … I won’t …” Xiao Xi shook her head forcefully. Large drops of tears rolled down her empty pupils.

Even if he was using her, she did not believe that he did not have any sincerity in her after all these years of being together and supporting each other.

She didn’t believe it.
