In the dead of winter, on the next day, in the Tang Palace, Empress Dowager Tang had just finished dressing up, and her maid Mei Xiang said: "My dear, there is a young man outside the palace gate... I want to see you!"

"Haha, who wants to see me?" Queen Mother Tang put down the ginseng soup and said with a smile.

"He...he said he is the crown prince and has been waiting for him for a long time."

"Oh? Is it Mr. Chu?"

No, I recognize Master Chu. This is a greeting card from the young master outside the palace gate. Can you take a look?"

Empress Dowager Tang took the orchid flower with a delicate fragrance, her face gradually lost color and her eyebrows were furrowed.

After a while, she said angrily: "Meixiang... you are so brave!"

The maid Mei Xiang felt weak all over, and she knelt down and said: "Ah... the Queen Mother makes atonement for her sins, slave, slave, I will... drive him out right now!"

…

"Queen Mother, I just... bumped into someone, how strange it is." The eldest palace maid Yan Ran came over and said with a surprised look on her face.

"What did you bump into? Speak up...why are you here?" Empress Dowager Tang raised her eyes and saw that it was the eldest palace maid Yan Ran, and her tone softened a lot.

"Queen Mother, the old lady is feeling better today and wants to see you!"

"Okay, I will come over later. Has Prince Feng come to ask for Ping'an's pulse recently?" Empress Dowager Tang asked with concern.

Yan Ran glanced at Mei Xiang and said with a smile: "Come here, Prince Feng is the person that the old lady looks forward to most every day. He is very happy to chat with the old lady!"

"That's good..." Queen Mother Tang's brows relaxed a little.

"What? Xiang girl...has made the mother-in-law angry again?" Yan Ran asked with a smile.

"Get up...I'll punish you by standing outside the palace for two hours!" Empress Dowager Tang feigned anger.

"Queen Mother, Xiang girl is still young...please spare her." Yan Ran quickly begged, how cold it was today...two hours would kill her.

"Besides, my servant has also seen what Xiang'er said! The man outside the palace gate does look like the Phoenix Crown Prince.

Queen Mother Tang was shocked: "You mean...you also saw...that person who looks exactly like a phoenix?"

Mei Xiang said quickly: "Sister Yanran, I didn't say anything nonsense, right?"

"No, I don't believe it... What is going on?" Queen Mother Tang looked at the two of them and felt that her legs were weak and her heart was trembling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Mei Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up and helped her master.

Yanran panicked for a moment and said hurriedly: "The Queen Mother makes atonement, I may have been dazzled just now... I'll wait until I go again..." Before she could finish her words, she had already ran out.

…

"Xiang'er... hurry... help me out!" Queen Mother Tang said weakly and out of breath.

Mei Xiang wiped away her tears of grievance and said cautiously: "Madam, who is the man at the door...?"

"Mother... you are frightened... I really deserve to die!"

Empress Dowager Tang kept her mind on the palace gate and said nothing. She looked forward with her beautiful eyes. Around the corner of the porter's room, she saw Yan Ran leading someone back.

"The Queen Mother..." Yanran stopped and shouted.

Queen Mother Tang looked over, her eyes straightened, and her feet froze instinctively. The man in front raised his eyes, he was still so handsome and handsome.

Empress Dowager Tang was dumbfounded: "Feng...Phoenix...Prince?"

Mei Xiang held Queen Mother Tang's little hand and felt that her palms were cold and wet.

The man opposite had a faint smile and was dressed in a plain brocade white robe, which made him appear more elegant and noble.

He was tall and tall, and his steps were light. His elegant demeanor was like an immortal from the Nine Heavens.

"Tang Yuan... Queen Mother!" the man who looked like an immortal called softly.

"Phoenix...is it really you?"

Queen Mother Tang was so frightened that she took a few steps back, trembling. Phoenix came over and said softly: "It's me, Tangyuan, I'm back!"

"...resurrected from the dead?" Queen Mother Tang was confused.

Yan Ran said: "Xiang'er, the wind is blowing, please help your empress into the palace quickly!"

Returning to Weiyang Palace, Empress Dowager Tang was extremely confused: What on earth is going on?

Yanran knew what was going on, and after inviting Phoenix to sit down, all the maids and slaves served tea and then retreated to a corner, leaving only two masters in the hall.

…

Beside the tea table, Fenghuang lifted up his sleeves and said respectfully: "The humble minister is guilty, please punish me, the Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Tang waved her sleeves: "Are I dreaming?"

After being stunned for a while, she murmured: "That year in the Prince's Mansion...could it be that I was dazzled?"

"No, Queen Mother, it's really hard for me to explain this in words!... This matter is indeed ridiculous... I don't know where to start."

Seeing Empress Dowager Tang's tearful and shaky appearance, Fenghuang was so distressed that she could not speak incoherently.

"Then you... are cheating to die?"

"...How do you put this? In short, everything was not done by...Phoenix!"

"Really? I want to hear...if there is even half of a sentence that is untrue, you know what the consequences will be!"

Facing the living phoenix, Queen Mother Tang felt as if she had been fooled, and stared at him with a pair of cold eyes.

…

Over the years, she has had many midnight dreams, and that bloody scene always appears, always tormenting her. As long as she closes her eyes... the blood-red guqin, the blood-red fallen leaves... Once, she was heartbroken for the loss of her best friend, and she could not sleep at night.

sleep soundly.

"The Queen Mother makes atonement, what happened back then... Fenghuang is also confused. These years, I have been in Canglongyuan, and my heart has been tortured.

...I asked Gongzun several times, but to no avail. Hey...he just said that the time had not come yet, and asked me to stay in Canglongyuan and cultivate hard."

"What kind of place is Canglongyuan? Why do they want to imprison you?" Queen Mother Tang asked.

"No, Queen Mother, no one is imprisoning me. Canglongyuan is the place where Ji Zun retreats and practices."

"You mean... these things are all related to Gong Zun?"

"this……"

Phoenix was about to say something but stopped: "Zun Zun has extraordinary skills all over the world and is known as the Thousand-faced Demon King. Canglongyuan is where he practices his miraculous skills."

"Then he trapped you in Canglong Abyss just to teach you his special skills? So, you kept it secret from me for ten years?" Empress Dowager Tang's face was gloomy, and her tone became colder.

"The Empress Dowager, this matter... is more than that, but I don't know how to tell you at this time about Wei Chen's difficulties. Please forgive me and atone for my sins!" Fenghuang was anxious and confused. It was a capital crime to deceive the Tian family.

He is not afraid of death, but he cannot die yet.

Empress Dowager Tang was pacing around him, and the temperature in the palace dropped sharply. In this winter, it was getting colder and colder.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, she sternly said: "Now you are a new generation of Thousand Faces Demon King?"

Fenghuang nodded and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Prince Yuan was missing, so Gongzun sent his ministers out to rescue him. Uncle Leng Yue is currently searching for him.

...However, the matter is serious, and it is the responsibility of the humble minister to protect the prince and the country. It is not a pity that the humble minister should die, and I hope the queen mother will allow her some time."

"Okay, I just want to know when you can rescue the emperor?... If someone comes, Xuan Shen Ji Ying Ru Xian will enter the palace immediately!"

Fenghuang hurriedly advised: "Mother, please calm down, General Ruxian has led his troops to Fukushima Garden..."

"She is in Fukushima?...So, Li Yang also went?"

"Yes……"

"Then who was it that let Ping Nan go?" Empress Dowager Tang said coldly with doubtful eyes.

"No matter who it is, please rest assured, Her Majesty... they will check it out!

Including the enemy who kidnapped Prince Yuan, Wei Chen believes that this is a plan for the enemy to come back. You have an order, Ludi Palace must assist the court, thoroughly investigate to the end, and kill all the enemies!"

After listening to Fenghuang's explanation, Queen Mother Tang sighed with emotion: "Life and death are nothing to me. The prince is the crown prince, and it is your responsibility to protect him!"

"The Queen Mother is at ease, it's important to take care of Phoenix's body! Uncle Leng Yue has led the team and has contacted all the ministers. We are waiting for the Queen Mother to lay down the net. Everyone will work together to eliminate the traitors who seek power and usurp the throne in one fell swoop!" Phoenix said firmly!

, the cold eyes are shrewd and brilliant.

"Oh? Why did you suddenly pay attention to me? And Elder Leng Yue... I remember that she is a cunning enchantress in the world and an unpredictable person."

"Well, as long as I give the order, my uncle will obey it. I have a confidential letter here for you... Please keep everything about me secret for the time being!"

"In addition, if you need to summon a minister urgently, send someone to Liuli Pavilion on Zhuque Street."

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Queen Mother Tang looked at Phoenix's back, still worried.

…

In the evening, Feng Liu and Si Shoufu were summoned to the palace.

In Qinzheng Hall, Queen Mother Tang was about to cry: "Father, after many days of searching, is there any news about Yuan'er?"

Feng Liu frowned and replied that it was not what she heard: "I am reporting to the Queen Mother that the scouts are here to report that the second prince is already on his way back to the palace."
