Chapter 337: The “Sickly” Crown Princess (38)
Chapter 337: The “Sickly” Crown Princess (38)
Yue Luoluo didn't expect that there was so much helplessness and forbearance hidden in those few words of the plot.
For a moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at her man was inevitably tinged with a bit of heartache.
Letting Yue Hongyu leave so easily was too easy for her.
When meeting Yue Luoluo's gaze, Qi Yunsheng thought that she was indignant about their experience.
He immediately held her hand and comforted her.
"All of this is in the past, and you don't have to worry about us being treated unfairly, Luo Luo. It's different from the East Country. In the West Country, twins are auspicious signs."
Unlike the East Kingdom that rebelled against God and stole its own country, the West Kingdom had been looking forward to the birth of the twins and the return of the Phoenix God since the high priest made that prophecy.
Therefore, even if they return to the West, they will only be treated with preferential treatment.
"The news of the Phoenix God's personal visit has spread to the Western Country. Grandfather Emperor hopes that we can invite you as an envoy to go to the Western Country in person."
After Qi Yunsheng told the Western Emperor about his plan, Qi Yunchen did not hide the Western Emperor's true purpose.
"If it is confirmed that the Phoenix God has returned and your identity as a divine messenger is true, the Western Kingdom is willing to unconditionally merge with the Eastern Kingdom."
It's not just about establishing diplomatic relations, it's about merging.
For the royal family of the Western Kingdom, welcoming back the Phoenix God and rebuilding the kingdom of God has always been their vision, and they are the most loyal believers.
The Phoenix God is their absolute belief, so it is not surprising that the Emperor of the Western Country would make such a decision.
If Yue Luoluo is really God's messenger, they are willing to respect her as king unconditionally.
But the prerequisite is that she is a real messenger of God!
Unlike the Eastern Kingdom, which attempted to destroy all traces of the gods, the Western Kingdom preserved everything related to the gods in the most complete way.
So there was no guarantee that she and Xiao Ming would be found out and realized that they were cheating.
If she pretends to be a god, she will be a complete blasphemer in the eyes of Westerners. Not to mention establishing diplomatic relations, the relationship between the two countries will probably become a life-and-death situation.
So it is really bad to lie to others. Although Yue Hongyu's trouble was solved quickly and efficiently, many problems followed.
Now, unless Yue Luoluo has the ability to turn lies into truth, she will lose this game.
Therefore, the key to breaking the impasse is indeed where the real Phoenix God is!
If that prophecy is true, and the twins have already appeared by now, shouldn’t the True Phoenix also have returned?
But so far she hasn't found any clues related to it.
Yue Luoluo, who was deep in thought, unconsciously looked at the phoenix-shaped red jade that Qi Yunchen had hung back around his waist.
The energy fluctuations she felt before, if she remembered correctly, should have the same origin as the phoenix power of her father Zhu Xuanqing.
Zhu Xuanqing's phoenix power comes from the bloodline of the saint who devoured the flesh and blood of the Phoenix God. So where does the power of this jade pendant come from?
Yue Luoluo did not try to hide the look she gave the jade pendant, and naturally both Qi Yunsheng and Qi Yunchen saw it.
"Your Majesty, are you interested in this phoenix pendant?"
"Well, can you please tell me the origin of this Phoenix Pendant?"
"This Phoenix Pendant is a sacred object of the Western Kingdom's royal family. Legend has it that the high priest found it at the place where the Phoenix God disappeared. Because no one can activate it, it has been passed down as a relatively sacred object..."
It was passed down to their father, who gave the phoenix pendant to them before he died.
Originally they were just asked to keep it as a keepsake, but who could have thought that this phoenix pendant would be accidentally activated when it fell into their hands.
They can use the Phoenix Pendant to change their appearance and gender according to their wishes within a certain period of time.
But it is very energy-consuming and will make you tired after using it for a while, so they have to use it alternately.
As for the time when he was leading troops to fight at the border far away from the imperial city, he could not maintain Chen Qi's appearance all the time, but with the help of heavy armor and mask, Qi Yunchen was still able to fool him relatively easily.
The more Yue Luoluo listened, the more she felt that the function of the Phoenix Pendant was magical!
But what concerned her more was why for so many years only the two people in front of her could activate the Phoenix Pendant that concealed the power of the Phoenix.
Clearly, she still couldn't feel any energy fluctuations on it.
Yue Luoluo thought about it and asked again, "Can I see this phoenix pendant?"
Such an important holy object to them would definitely not be easily given to other people's hands, but as for Yue Luoluo, both Qi Yunsheng and Qi Yunchen, whose favorability was not full, trusted her from the bottom of their hearts.
Otherwise, he would not have used this holy object in front of her, and would not have told her so easily about the extraordinary nature of the Phoenix Pendant.
So when Yue Luoluo was still thinking about how to convince Qi Yunchen who was sitting opposite the coffee table, the other party had already taken off the jade pendant and placed it in front of her.
After meeting her somewhat surprised gaze, he curled his lips and said reluctantly, "I don't trust you, I'm doing this for Yun Sheng's sake!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your trust, Your Highness~"
Even the most arrogant big cats need to be stroked, she understands!
Unexpectedly, Yue Luoluo's words seemed to see through his hidden thoughts. Qi Yunchen's face froze and his breathing became disordered.
"I, I didn't! I already said no!"
"Yeah, I understand~"
"What do you know!"
"I understand your trust in me~"
Faced with his repeated denials, the little girl opposite him could still say such words to him with a smile. Qi Yunchen's face turned red for a moment.
He looked like he was angry, but only he knew the real reason for his blushing!
It was obvious that when he was out in the world, his sharp tongue had always been a weapon that made people around him stay away from him. It was his disguise as a sting!
But his sting seemed to have no effect at all in front of her, and she even smiled at him so sweetly. How could Qi Yunchen not be touched?
But after meeting the gaze from his younger brother, he forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart.
Even if he recognized her, she would only be his younger sister in the future...
But he can control his people, but he can't control his heart...
[Ding! Qi Yunchen's favorability increased by 5, and the current favorability is 75. ]
Yue Luoluo raised the corners of her lips secretly when she heard the prompt sound. Although it was a bit unkind, it was really fun to tease a cat, especially a beautiful and tsundere big cat with golden eyes and black hair!
Qi Yunsheng looked up at his royal brother's evasive eyes, then lowered his eyes to look at Yue Luoluo, who was sitting next to him and in a good mood. The smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared.
He was very happy that Luo Luo could get along so well with his brother.
Yue Luoluo stopped teasing Qi Yunchen and picked up the phoenix pendant to study it carefully.
The jade pendant was the size of a palm, blood-colored, and crystal clear in the sunlight.
It had a texture similar to that of garnet, but it was not garnet, or even any type of gemstone she was familiar with.
It looks like a phoenix with its head and tail connected.
Yue Luoluo, who couldn't figure out the trick for a while, immediately called out Xiao Ming. Since this was left behind by the Phoenix God after his death, maybe it, as a phoenix itself, could figure out some tricks.
