Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

Today, the Zixiao Palace is particularly lively. This is the main hall of the Emperor Phoenix Palace. The beautiful woman is our hostess, the goddess Emperor Phoenix. She is wearing a flowing black dress, her hair is slightly fluttering, and her eyebrows are shining, like the moon on the branches of a willow. Her eyes are slightly narrowed, as if she is immersed in her thoughts. Her slightly cold expression makes her look even more charming.

"I am here to see the Master of the Dihuang Palace. Please give me some advice." The palace maid in elegant clothes bowed respectfully.

Emperor Huang said calmly, "Yesterday, I inspected the mountains and rivers under my jurisdiction and found that the soldiers and civilians on the border were living in extreme poverty, with food shortages and the people suffering from cold. However, there is a large amount of unused food in the military granary. You can go and find out the reason."

"Yes, I'll go check it out right away." The maid took the order and withdrew, secretly admiring that although the Emperor Phoenix Palace Master was generous, he also cared deeply about his subjects and was deeply loved by the people.

After the maid left, Di Huang sighed softly and looked at the starry sky outside the window. Her eyes showed a hint of tenderness, and she thought to herself: "Wei Chen, how are you now?"

Wei Chen, he was once the favorite of Emperor Huang, but he died in an accident. Emperor Huang has always been brooding over it. She is heartbroken and immersed in memories all day long, unable to let go. However, as time passed, she could only endure these painful days.

Suddenly, the palace gate opened again, and a slender figure slowly walked in. It was a handsome young man, the prime minister of the empire, Wei Heng. He bowed slightly, "Greetings to the Palace Master of the Imperial Phoenix."

Emperor Huang nodded slightly, "Is there anything important that Wei Xiang can do for you?"

Wei Heng pondered for a moment, "Palace Master, the lives of soldiers and civilians on the border are difficult, which is really heartbreaking. The Palace Master went to inspect today and it seems that he also discovered this situation. I am planning to take action to resolve this matter, but I need the Palace Master's approval."

A hint of surprise flashed across Emperor Huang's eyes, and then he nodded and said, "Very good, how can such a big empire allow its subjects to live in such poverty? I am also worried about this. Since you have a plan, then implement it quickly. What the empire needs is people of insight to speak up for the people."

Wei Heng smiled slightly, "Thank you for your help, Lord Dihuang Palace. I will do it right away." After saying this, he bowed and turned to leave.

Looking at Wei Heng's back, Emperor Huang frowned slightly. Although he seemed to be upright, he also made people feel a little gloomy and cold. Moreover, he was somewhat similar to the deceased Wei Chen. Did this mean anything? Emperor Huang sighed softly, maybe it was just that his mind was too confused.

Wei Heng quickly left Zixiao Palace and walked outside the courtyard. A guard came running over. "Prime Minister Wei, news has arrived. According to our spies, there is news that a large number of enemy troops have suddenly gathered on the southwest border."

Wei Heng frowned, "What? The enemy troops are gathering? Send someone to find out the details quickly. I want to know what is going on as soon as possible."

"Yes, Prime Minister Wei." The guard took the order and left.

Wei Heng pondered for a long time, his eyes flashed with gloom. He spoke slowly, "It seems that the plan has been advanced."

As the great event concerning the survival of the empire was brewing, in Zixiao Palace, Emperor Huang was looking at the starry sky, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Suddenly, a slight movement came from behind her, she frowned slightly and turned to look.

"Who's there?" her slightly majestic voice sounded.

"It's me, beautiful lady." A young man walked out slowly from the darkness, tall and handsome, with a fiery gaze.

Emperor Huang was slightly stunned, "Wei Chen?"

The young man looked at her intently, with a look of nostalgia on his face. "I have been looking for you all these years."

Emperor Huang was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Why are you here? Aren't you already..."

"I'm not dead." Wei Chen smiled slightly, "I've always been alive, I just hid my whereabouts."

Di Huang's eyes suddenly widened, and countless complex emotions flashed through her heart. After a long time, she finally spoke, "Where have you been? Why didn't you come to see me?"

Wei Chen approached slowly, "I dare not see you. Because I know you will be very sad. I thought it would be enough to protect you silently from a distance. But, I can no longer bear the torment of missing you."

Di Huang trembled slightly, "Do you know how much I miss you? After you left, I was immersed in grief all day long and could no longer let it go." She gently raised her hand and touched his face, "I thought you left forever."

Wei Chen reached out and held her hand, his eyes full of tenderness, "I'm sorry for making you worry. But I'm back now and will never leave you again."

Tears welled up in Emperor Huang's eyes. "If you dare to leave again, I will drag you back even if I die."

Wei Chen chuckled, "Okay, I will never leave you in this life." He held her in his arms and gently stroked her hair, "My beauty, do you know how much I miss you?"

Di Huang leaned on his chest, smelling the familiar breath, and a wave of warmth suddenly surged in her heart. She raised her head slightly, staring at him with ardent eyes, "I miss you too, for a long, long time."

The two of them hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge each other into their own blood. After a long time, Di Huang tilted her head slightly, opened her red lips, and intertwined with Wei Chen in a hot and lingering kiss. This kiss seemed to melt each other, and the two of them were inseparable.

When the two finally separated, Emperor Huang panted slightly, "Wei Chen, what on earth have you been through? Why did you disappear for so many years?"

Wei Chen sighed, "This is a long story. At first, I just wanted to protect you, but I was attacked by the enemy. I was poisoned and almost died. It was not until later that I slowly recovered. But in order to prevent you from getting hurt, I have been hiding my whereabouts and only protected you silently from a distance."

Di Huang gently stroked his face, "I see. You have suffered so much, how come I didn't know about it." There was a trace of guilt in her eyes, "If only I could protect you back then."

Wei Chen smiled slightly, "Don't blame yourself, this is not your fault. It was because I was not strong enough that the enemy succeeded. But now I am back, and I will never leave your side again."

Di Huang nodded, feeling a sense of security in her heart. She reached out and hugged Wei Chen tightly, "I miss you so much, I miss you so much."

Wei Chen hugged her gently, "I'm here and will never leave you."

The two of them just hugged each other quietly, as if they were the only ones in the world. After a long time, Emperor Huang loosened his hold slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Wei Chen, since you are back, you will lead this empire together with me."

Wei Chen was slightly stunned, "But, I am just an ordinary person, how can I be competent for such an important task?"

Emperor Huang smiled, "You are not an ordinary person, you are the person I trust the most. I need you, and the empire needs you too."

Wei Chen stared at her, "Well, I am willing to work with you to protect this country together."

Di Huang nodded, her eyes full of relief. She took his hand, and the two walked side by side, embarking on a common path.

Just then, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a guard ran in. "Palace Master, something big has happened!"

Emperor Huang frowned, "What's the matter?"

The guard knelt down hurriedly, "According to the spies' report, a large number of enemy troops suddenly gathered on the southwest border, and they seem to be preparing to attack our border towns!"

Emperor Huang frowned, "How could this happen? Didn't the Prime Minister already send someone to investigate?"

The guard said tremblingly, "The Prime Minister has already arrived at the border to inspect."

Emperor Huang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay, I will go and check the situation myself. Wei Chen, you come with me."

Wei Chen nodded slightly, "As you wish, my lady."

The two immediately boarded the carriage and rushed to the border at lightning speed. Along the way, Di Huang was inevitably a little worried, not knowing what the consequences would be. But she had made up her mind to protect this land and everything she cherished most.

Soon, they arrived at the southwest border. They saw flags rising from the city walls, soldiers and horses coming and going, and flames of war rising. Emperor Huang frowned, with a vague sense of foreboding.

"This situation seems to be wrong." Wei Chen frowned.

Emperor Huang nodded, "I feel the same way. Let's go to the Prime Minister to discuss countermeasures."

The two quickly entered the border city and saw Wei Xiang standing on the tower looking into the distance. When he saw Di Huang, he hurried over to greet him. "Palace Master, you came at the right time."

Emperor Huang nodded slightly, "Prime Minister Wei, what is going on? Why is there such a large-scale gathering of enemy troops?"

Wei Xiang's face was solemn. "According to the spies, this is a powerful army from the Western Regions. Although the number of people is not too large, their strength is extremely terrifying. Their goal seems to be to cut off our trade route with the Western Regions and occupy this rich land."

Wei Chen frowned, "If that's the case, why don't our army take the initiative and wipe them out?"

Wei Xiang shook his head, "I'm afraid not. This enemy is very powerful, and it may be difficult for our army to escape unscathed. However, I have sent people to secretly set up an ambush, and we will only wait for their main attack and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."

Emperor Huang hesitated for a moment, "Okay, then follow your plan. I will send elite troops to support you. This land is an indispensable granary for the empire, and we must not let it fall into the hands of the enemy."

Wei Xiang smiled slightly, "Thank you, Palace Master. This battle may be very exciting."

Emperor Huang nodded, "Okay, I will go back to arrange the follow-up matters. Wei Chen, you stay and assist Prime Minister Wei."

Wei Chen was slightly stunned, "But, beauty, I want to be with you..."

Emperor Huang stroked his cheek gently, "Don't worry, I will come back safely. You stay here to help Wei Xiang, we must keep this land."

Seeing her determined look, Wei Chen could only nod and agree, "Okay, I will make sure you return safely."

Di Huang smiled slightly, took his hand and shook it gently, then turned and left.

At this time, the sound of war drums came from afar, and it seemed that the enemy had begun to attack. Wei Xiang's eyes flashed, "It seems that the fun is about to begin." He winked at Wei Chen, "Come with me, I have something to say."

Wei Chen was slightly stunned, but he still followed. He had a vague feeling that something unexpected might happen in this battle.

At this moment, Di Huang drove back alone in a carriage, her brows furrowed, her heart filled with worry.

"Wei Chen, you must be safe." She murmured to herself.

This war that concerns the survival of the empire is about to begin. What will be the fate of Di Huang and Wei Chen, and what will be the ending? Will the enemy be completely annihilated? All the mysteries are waiting to be slowly revealed.
