Return of the Phoenix Lady

"What are you talking about?" Huo Yan's face turned serious and he said unhappily.

"What am I talking about? You might as well go ask your Queen and Concubine Yun!" Mo Qingyuan was so angry that he almost blew his beard and glared, of course, provided that he had a beard.

Huo Yan frowned and asked, "Empress? Concubine Yun? What does it have to do with them?"

Mo Qingyuan snorted coldly, so angry that he didn't even want to look at him. He turned his head away and stopped talking.

Huo Yan frowned and looked at Han Xing, hoping to get an answer from her.

Han Xing said politely, "A few days ago, I heard with my own ears that it was the Queen and Concubine Yun who said that they were the ones who killed my mother. As for whether she is still alive, I don't know."

Huo Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined that the queen he had always trusted and his favorite concubine would actually team up to harm the woman he loved most, and he had been kept in the dark the whole time! Violent anger surged in Huo Yan's heart. This made him angrier than the Fire Nation's defeat! He was so stupid! As an emperor, he couldn't even protect the woman he loved most! And she was still killed by his other two women and her life and death were unknown! He would not let these two women go! He would definitely make them pay the price!

After calming down his anger a little, Huo Yan looked at Mo Qingyuan with an apologetic look and said, "Mo Qingyuan, Han Xing, I'm sorry. I never thought that such a thing would happen. Don't worry, I won't let those two women go! Xin'er... Xin'er... I am sorry for her! I will definitely find her!" Huo Yan apologized sincerely.

"Hmph~ This time I will personally find Xin'er, so you don't have to do it! I'm just afraid you still can't bear to do it!" Mo Qingyuan sneered angrily.

"You... hum~ I'm in the wrong this time. Xin'er came to me for help, but I let those two bold bitches harm Xin'er right under my nose. It's my fault! I will avenge Xin'er!" Huo Yan turned his head away and snorted coldly.

Han Xing looked at the two awkward men and couldn't help but remind them, "To punish the Queen and Concubine Yun, there must at least be an unforgivable crime! You can't just execute the queen of a country without any evidence, right?!"

"Han Xing is right! It's just that the Queen has done a good job on the surface over the years. In the eyes of outsiders, she is a very capable and virtuous wife. She has managed the harem in an orderly manner for so many years, and she doesn't show any jealousy at all. On the surface, she is indeed a good Queen. Even I was deceived by her superficial efforts! It will indeed cause unnecessary trouble to easily depose the Queen!" Thinking of this, Huo Yan had a headache. Why was he so stupid before! He was actually deceived by them for so long! "As for Concubine Yun, she doesn't have any backers, so she is easy to deal with. When the time comes, I just need to accuse her of a crime."

Han Xing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Perhaps... we can use Concubine Yun to expose the Queen's crimes."

"How is this possible? They are both on the same boat, how could they possibly turn against each other?" Huo Yan said in disbelief.

"Oh! In the face of interests and desires, many people cannot resist the temptation, not to mention that greedy woman, Concubine Yun. It should be noted that Concubine Yun has long hated the Queen, so how could she refuse?" Han Xing sneered.

After coming out of the study, Han Xing walked slowly along the corridor, admiring the scenery along the way.

Suddenly, a female voice came: "Ah! Mr. Liu, what a coincidence! We meet again."

Han Xing turned around and looked at Yun Fei, who was beaming with joy. He slowly smiled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."

"Young Master Liu, are you still enjoying the scenery? There are so many sights in this palace that you can't enjoy them all in a short time. Why don't you come to my place?" Concubine Yun approached Han Xing with an unchanged smile.

Han Xing smelled a conspiracy. They could finally hold it in and were about to take action? Perhaps the Queen had been irritated by her, so they simply acted without hesitation. After all, as long as she disappeared, even if His Majesty blamed them, it would be impossible to put the blame on them without evidence.

"I think I'd better forget it! After all, it's the concubine's bedroom. How can I come and go as I please?" Han Xing deliberately refused.

Concubine Yun smiled mysteriously, and suddenly leaned close to Han Xing and asked, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your mother?"

Satisfied with the undisguised surprise in Han Xing's eyes, Concubine Yun smiled triumphantly, knowing that this trick worked! "If you want to know the truth, follow me!" Concubine Yun looked at Han Xing, who was shocked, and turned around and walked away calmly, because she knew that Han Xing would definitely follow her.

Concubine Yun's bedroom

Han Xing sat on the chair in the bedroom, looking at the smug Concubine Yun with a defensive look on her face.

Yun Fei looked at Han Xing's overly tense expression and couldn't help but smile: "Relax, don't be so nervous."

"Where is my mother?" Han Xing asked coldly.

"Hehe~Mr. Liu, oh no! To be more precise, you should call her Miss Liu! Right?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is my mother?" Han Xing said angrily.

Seeing this, Concubine Yun waved her hand, smiling easily, and said, "Why are you so anxious? Don't worry, you will be able to go to your mother soon!"

Han Xing frowned. What did she mean by that? Could it be that... Yun Luoxin was really dead? Thinking of this, Han Xing felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"I'll let you be a clear-headed ghost, which is considered to be the utmost kindness! Haha!" At this point, Yun Fei laughed triumphantly, and her look was so annoying that it really deserved a beating! Han Xing clenched her fists, suppressed her impulse, and waited for Yun Fei to explain clearly.

"Do you know how your unfortunate mother died? She was killed by me and the Queen! Although she had a high level of cultivation, she was too trusting. We just showed a little kindness and she believed us. As a result, we pushed her into the Endless Sea with our own hands! No matter how powerful a person is, once you enter there, don't even think about getting out! Aren't you looking for that bitch? Go! Go find her! She must be so lonely underground! Why don't you accompany her?" Concubine Yun looked at Han Xing with resentful eyes.

Han Xing stared back at Yun Fei with cold eyes, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart. Was she...really dead? Was she dead just like that? She wanted to leave without even fulfilling her motherly responsibilities? But she wouldn't allow it! Yun Luoxin! You better not die! Otherwise, she would never forgive her!

Concubine Yun couldn't help but get goosebumps from Han Xing's cold gaze. She couldn't help but say in hatred, "Who told her to steal His Majesty's heart? I love His Majesty so much! Much more than she does! Why does His Majesty always only see her own shadow in me?! I can't accept this! ... His Majesty belongs to me! He will always dote on me! And it has nothing to do with that bitch!"

Han Xing suddenly calmed down and asked, "What about the queen?"
