Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

At night, the stars in the sky shine as bright as diamonds. In Phoenix City, a towering palace is quiet and peaceful, with the occasional sound of patrolling guards. This is the residence of the goddess Emperor Phoenix - Fengque Palace.

At this time, inside the Queen's Palace, Emperor Huang was walking slowly in. She was wearing a moon-white long dress, the hem of which was as flowing as snow. Her skin was as white as jade, her hair was as black as ink, her eyebrows were full of affection, and her eyes were as bright as stars. She had a peerless face, so beautiful that it was beyond description.

I saw Di Huang slowly walk to the French window and gaze at the starry sky. There were complex emotions in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something. After a long time, she sighed and whispered to herself: "The night is so quiet, but it's hard for me to find a moment of peace in my heart."

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the palace. A palace maid cautiously pushed the door open and reported respectfully: "Empress, His Majesty has ordered you to go to the Tianji Palace as soon as possible. There seems to be something important to discuss."

Di Huang frowned slightly, then nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand, I'll go right away." After that, she waved her hand to signal the palace maid to retreat, then left the Queen's Palace and went straight to the Tianji Palace.

Inside the Tianji Palace, Emperor Huang's father, Emperor Haotian, was sitting on the dragon throne, with several ministers standing beside him. Seeing Emperor Huang coming, Emperor Haotian nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Feng'er, I have summoned you here because I have something extremely important to discuss with you."

Emperor Huang bowed respectfully and responded: "Your Majesty, I will listen to your command."

Emperor Haotian spoke slowly: "Recently, news came from the border that some demons are ready to attack. This is related to the safety of our Great Hao Dynasty, and we cannot afford to be careless. I have ordered the royal army to be ready to fight at any time. However, this battle is of great importance, and I want to lead the troops personally to ensure that everything is safe."

Upon hearing this, Di Huang's heart trembled. She knew that her father was old, and leading the army to fight personally would undoubtedly be risking his life. She quickly pleaded, "Father, I beg you to go with me. I will do my best to help you defeat the invasion of the demon race."

Emperor Haotian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Feng'er, you are the future queen of my Great Hao, you must not take risks at will. Your safety is of vital importance to the entire dynasty. I have ordered that you must stay in the imperial city to guard it, and you are not allowed to go to war."

Emperor Huang suppressed her inner anxiety and responded respectfully: "I obey your order. But please take care of yourself, father, and come back safely soon."

Emperor Haotian nodded, then turned to the ministers around him and said: "Listen everyone, this war must be victorious. I have entrusted you with an important task, you must go all out to protect the imperial city and protect our Great Hao for eternity!"

The ministers all said yes, and then Emperor Haotian stood up and said solemnly: "Okay, I will lead the army out now. Feng'er, take good care of yourself, I will definitely return safely."

Di Huang held back the tears in her eyes, bowed respectfully, and watched her father leave the Tianji Palace. When the emperor's figure completely disappeared, she sighed softly and murmured: "Father, please come back safely."

In the blink of an eye, several days passed. During the time when her father led the army to fight, Di Huang had been anxious in the imperial city. She kept an eye on the battle situation, but she could not participate in the battle herself and could only watch.

Finally, on a rainy night, a horn sounded outside the city gate. Emperor Huang immediately stood up and hurried to the tower to watch. He saw a wounded army slowly entering the city, with a hint of sadness on the flag.

Emperor Huang's heart sank, and he quickly led his men to meet them. He saw his father, Emperor Haotian, covered in blood, barely holding his body upright on his horse. Seeing his daughter, he smiled weakly and said softly: "Feng'er... I... I am finally back..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor fell down and was quickly helped off the horse by the guards. Di Huang hurried forward to check on her father, who was covered in wounds and breathing weakly. She was immediately panicked, tears welled up in her eyes, and she trembled, "Father, how are you? Go, go get the imperial physician!"

The imperial doctors hurried forward and carefully carried Emperor Haotian into the palace. Emperor Huang followed closely behind, praying anxiously all the way, hoping that his father would be safe.

At this moment, a general hurried forward and reported respectfully: "Empress, His Majesty is seriously injured. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't live long."

Emperor Huang trembled all over, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. She suppressed her grief and said in a deep voice: "I understand. You go and arrange the funeral, and make sure to give father a good funeral."

The generals withdrew respectfully, leaving Di Huang standing there alone, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't accept this reality, her father was actually leaving her. Thinking of this, her heart was broken, and she couldn't say a word for a while.

After a long while, the imperial doctors came out of the palace, came to Emperor Huang with serious expressions, and reported respectfully: "Empress, your Majesty's injuries are too serious. We have tried our best, but I'm afraid..."

Emperor Huang interrupted them immediately and said in a trembling voice: "Shut up! How could Father be in trouble? He will definitely recover!"

The imperial physician was stunned for a moment, hesitating to speak. Seeing this, Emperor Huang took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You can leave, I want to go see my father."

The doctors respectfully withdrew, leaving Di Huang alone to slowly walk into the palace. Emperor Haotian was lying quietly on the bed, his face as pale as paper, and his breath was weak. Di Huang stepped forward and held his father's hand, tears welled up again, sobbing: "Father, you must hold on. I...I can't accept that you leave me like this."

The emperor opened his eyes slightly and looked at his daughter weakly, with a faint smile on his lips: "Feng'er... don't cry... father... will leave you soon..."

Emperor Huang burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "No, Father, you must hold on. I...I still need you by my side."

The emperor sighed and held his daughter's hand weakly: "Feng'er, the only regret in my life is that I can't watch you ascend the throne as empress in person. However, I believe that you will become an outstanding ruler and lead my Dahao to a more glorious tomorrow."

Emperor Huang choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face: "Father, you can't leave me alone. I... I don't know how to be a qualified queen yet. What should I do without you by my side?"

The emperor smiled weakly: "Don't be afraid, Feng'er. You have enough wisdom and courage to face everything. Remember, no matter what happens, I will be by your side to protect you." After saying that, he gently closed his eyes.

Emperor Huang hurriedly held his father's hand and burst into tears: "Father, please don't leave! Please, open your eyes and look at me..."

However, the emperor never opened his eyes again. He passed away peacefully, leaving Di Huang alone in tears.

Di Huang lay on her father's body, crying bitterly. She had never thought that one day she would lose her beloved father, which made her feel lost and helpless. In the past, her father always gave her support and courage, but now, he left her forever.

After a long time, the eunuch reported that the ministers were waiting in the Tianji Hall, wanting to discuss the dynasty's affairs with Emperor Huang. Emperor Huang suppressed his grief, wiped away his tears, and came to the Tianji Hall alone.

The ministers stood up and saluted respectfully. The leading minister said respectfully: "Empress, your Majesty has passed away. The dynasty now urgently needs your leadership. We respectfully request you to ascend the throne immediately and stabilize the situation."

Emperor Huang was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "I know that the dynasty needs stability at this moment. However, my father has just passed away, and I am still not completely calm. Please give me some time so that I can properly deal with my father's funeral. After everything is arranged, I will ascend the throne as empress and continue my father's unfinished work."

The ministers looked at each other, and then they all retreated respectfully. Only Di Huang was left standing alone in the empty Tianji Hall. She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner grief, and turned to leave.

In the following days, Di Huang devoted herself to handling her father's funeral. She carefully arranged a grand funeral to mourn her deceased father. The entire royal city was shrouded in sadness, and the people all mourned the death of Emperor Haotian.

Finally, after the seven-day mourning period ended, the ministers came to the Emperor again and said respectfully: "Empress, the time has come. The dynasty urgently needs you to ascend the throne as empress to stabilize the situation. We respectfully invite you to ascend the throne."

Emperor Huang took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Okay, I know time is running out. I am ready to ascend the throne and write a new chapter for the Dahao Dynasty."

After saying this, Emperor Huang walked out of the palace slowly and came to the front of the hall. He saw millions of subjects waiting here, and when they saw Emperor Huang appear, they all knelt down to salute. Emperor Huang looked around, tears welled up in his heart, but he still suppressed his grief and read the edict of enthronement loudly.

"My subjects, I am your new empress - Dihuang. From today on, I will inherit my father's unfinished work and lead Dahao to a new glory! I will do my best to maintain the peace and stability of the dynasty and let the people live and work in peace. I hope you can give your support and trust and witness the future of Dahao together!"

As soon as the words fell, millions of subjects cheered and praised the wisdom of the new queen. Emperor Huang smiled slightly. Although he was still sad, he also felt infinite responsibility and mission for the heavy responsibility he shouldered.

At this moment, a mighty and tall man walked up to Emperor Huang and saluted respectfully: "Empress, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. I am General Wei Xiao, and I have come here today to report military intelligence to Your Majesty."

Emperor Huang nodded and said in a deep voice: "General, what military intelligence can you report?"

Wei Xiao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after the death of the previous emperor, the demons have become more rampant and have invaded the border. Although our army has fought hard to resist, it has suffered heavy losses and can no longer provide support. I beg Your Majesty to send more reinforcements to consolidate the border."

Emperor Huang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I know that the invasion of the demon tribe has brought great danger to the dynasty. This is related to the safety of Dahao, and I will go all out. General, you should prepare quickly. I will order reinforcements to fight the enemy together with you."

Wei Xiao was overjoyed and quickly said yes and left. Di Huang slowly returned to the palace and pondered for a long time. She knew that as the new empress, she had a heavy responsibility and had to stabilize the situation as soon as possible and maintain the peace of the dynasty.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, a palace maid came hurriedly to report: "Empress, there is news from the border that the demon tribe has broken through our army's defense line and is attacking towards the imperial city!"

Emperor Huang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will personally
