Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

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.

“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!”
