The Hidden Phoenix World

The two female servants on the right side of Hua Zhu Yu and the left side could not help but tremble in fear, thinking that this person was making them feel uncomfortable for no reason.

"Miss Hua also has something to say, does Miss Hua want to defy the imperial decree?" Chang gonggong asked in an ominous tone.If he was able to break that order, he would. However, Hua Zhu Yu knew she was incapable of doing that. His father, Hua Mu of Ping Xi, was loyal and devoted to this Southern imperial palace, if he failed to obey the imperial orders, the first person who wanted to execute him was no one else but his father. Perhaps, because of this kind of blind loyalty, the emperor would be able to treat them, the Hua family, this way. His father was stationed in the border region.Since the border region was still unstable, the emperor did not let him return to the capital for ten years. This time, the Hua family's forces managed to defeat Western Liang. Western Liang had no choice but to reconcile by offering his five major cities. The entire country celebrated this and the Hua family asked for many awards. The Emperor had no choice but to let his father return to the capital and give him the title of Marquis of Ping Xi. She, without a name, lacks the talent and benevolent daughter of Hua Mu, is also given an enviable marriage

Now, the emperor again suddenly decided to go and get married, the matter was very complicated and he did not understand at all, but sooner or later he would investigate it thoroughly. Right now, he still needed to discuss the matter with his father in order to make a decision. However, they wanted him to accept this imperial edict now? It wasn't easy.

Hua Zhu Yu made up her mind and said in a light tone: “Chang bark, now your servant is no longer Miss Hua but Lady Ji, not knowing whether this imperial decree should be accepted or not? Your servant and Chancellor Ji's marriage were also decided. If your servant receives this command, does it not mean that your servant is violating the sacred command, your servant really does not do anything.”

Chang gonggong was speechless. He did not anticipate that Hua Zhu Yu would say this. The emperor did issue an order to give the marriage to him beforehand. The emperor had to rescind the first edict before being given another marriage decree, but it would set the emperor back on his word.

Chang gonggong was a bit awkward, doubtful whether he needed to return to the palace to ask for another imperial edict or not. However, the emperor would blame him for being incompetent in handling this matter. Amidst the confusion, he looked at Ji Feng Li, smiled sweetly and asked carefully "Xiangye, you see ...."

Ji Feng Li looked at the burning red candles, his eyes were dark and liquid like ink, and they glittered elegantly. He looked back at Chang gonggong, faintly smiling and telling the maidservant standing nearby "Bringing ink brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones here."

The waiter left in a hurry and immediately returned with a tray containing a writing brush, ink stick, paper and ink stones in his hands. He moved the cakes and pastries on the side table, spread the paper there, put the water into the well if the ink stone, grind the ink stick on the ink stone surface, and put the water in the ink stone, and handed the handwritten brush to Ji Feng Li.

Ji Feng Li took out a writing brush and dipped it into the grinded ink and began to shake the brush on the white paper. Before long, the white paper was filled with black ink words.

The ink on the paper had not dried yet, the maid picked it up. He blew it gently and then placed it in Hua Zhu Yu's hand.

A white coated paper, black ink words.

His handwriting was thick, unattached, alive and alive. It was so elegant that Hua Zhu Yu really admired it.

Unfortunately, this is a divorce certificate.

Hua Zhu Yu stared at the two big words divorce certificate written on the paper before her eyes, a cold smile touching the corner of her mouth, her proud eyes twisting with sadness.

In life, problems are expected. It did not occur to him that someday, he, Hua Zhu Yu would obtain a divorce certificate.

This Ji Feng Li was indeed worthy to become the Imperial Chancellor who gained the support of the Emperor. By divorcing him, he was not bound from Ji Feng Li. This allowed the Emperor to decide he was married to the prince of the Northern Kingdom. Previous imperial decrees did not need to be discarded in this way so no one would say the Emperor reneged on his promise.

There was no one in the room who was not impressed. Usually, if another woman is placed in a situation like this, she will cry, get angry or hysterical.

However, he did not cry, get angry or even have any complaints.

Is this woman stupid? Why is he so calm? They think.

"Sorry to trouble jiejie to help accept the imperial edict, and Hua Zhu Yu thanked jiejie earlier." Hua Zhu Yu smiled and said to the servant on his right side.

Hearing that, the female servant reached out her hand to take the imperial edict from Chang gongong and then pushed onto Hua Zhu Yu's arm.

"Please, Princess Mu Yun, stay in the palace for a while tonight, tomorrow morning, the Northern royal envoy will come to the palace and pick up Princess Mu Yun." Chang gonggong spoke. She changed so quickly that now she called Hua Zhu Yu as Princess Mu Yun.

The female aides brought by Chang gonggong from the Palace came and held Hua Zhu Yu's hand to help support her.

With the divorce certificate tucked in one arm and the imperial order tucked in the other sleeve, the head covered by a red veil, Hua Zhu Yu left the room. 

He could not move and there was no one to help him lift the veil.

Even if he could move, he still did not lift his veil. He didn't want to see these people.

Outside the room, the snow was still fluttering intermittently. The red veil was blown up occasionally, allowing Hua Zhu Yu to see the courtyard decorated with large red lanterns and words of double happiness. Nevertheless, he could not feel the festive atmosphere. Instead, he felt those red colors seem like blood shining with a harsh bright light.

Hua Zhu Yu took a deep breath, drawing cold air into his lungs.

It's her wedding night.

Unforgettable night of his life!

The two aides helped Hua Zhu Yu into the sedan chair. The sedan chair was then lifted by the imperial guards and headed to the Imperial Palace. Hua Zhu Yu sat on the sedan chair, feeling the stinging pain in her knees gradually fade away as the influence of the poisonous wine grew stronger. He stumbled and drowned in the darkness.
