Thinking of this, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said casually, "How is the Empress Dowager? My master is very worried."
"Thank you for your concern, Grand Preceptor. The Empress has emerged from seclusion safely."
Upon hearing that it was Jun Feijue who asked, the palace attendant immediately replied with great enthusiasm, "And for the sake of the war, he personally set off for the border."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wushuang immediately stopped and asked, "What happened at the border?"
"Little...little person..."
Seeing Zhan Wushuang's reaction, Gong Si remembered the Empress's instructions and said in a flustered voice, "You...you should pretend you didn't hear it, otherwise I will definitely be punished."
"explain."
Zhan Wushuang's brows furrowed, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
"It's...it's war at the border."
The aura of a Heavenly Profound Realm expert was so overwhelming that a mere palace servant could not withstand it. His legs immediately gave way, and he knelt down.
When did this happen?
Realizing she hadn't received any information whatsoever, Zhan Wushuang became anxious. "What exactly happened?"
"Third Princess, this is a state secret, and I really don't know anything about it."
The palace attendant said with a wronged expression, "I just heard that the situation is not good, so Her Majesty the Empress went there in person to boost morale."
"Why didn't you tell us...?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wushuang remained silent for a moment before taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down.
It turns out the situation was already so critical, but she had been kept completely in the dark!
"this…"
The palace attendant knew Zhan Wushuang's identity, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Her Majesty the Empress said that you and the Grand Preceptor have not yet broken through, and she does not want you to worry or be distracted."
"Empress Mother..."
This reason was reasonable, but it made Zhan Wushuang clench his fists tightly, a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.
Whether she was sent to Bujiang as a hostage back then or now, she is always so weak and powerless to make her own decisions.
No ginger!
Thinking back to those years as a hostage, Zhan Wushuang's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with hatred. She truly hated this country to the core.
"Third Princess, the Phoenix Lord is still waiting for you."
The palace attendant felt guilty and, seeing that Zhan Wushuang's mood was a bit off, quickly mustered up the courage to remind her.
"Phew~ Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wufang snapped out of his hatred, took a deep breath, and hurried toward the Phoenix Emperor's bedchamber. "I know about Mother Empress's trip to the border. Don't tell Father Empress."
"Yes, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Gong Si immediately nodded in agreement, feeling relieved. Even if Zhan Wushuang didn't tell him, he wouldn't say it on his own, right?
Otherwise, they will definitely be punished.
"Father, Second Sister."
When she arrived, Feng Jun and Zhan Wuxin were already sitting at the brightly colored table, waiting for her.
"Shuang'er!"
"Xiao Shuang!"
Upon seeing her approach, both of them beamed with joy and waved to her, saying, "Come on over, we've been waiting for you."
"kindness."
The two men's expressions were perfectly disguised. If Zhan Wushuang didn't already know the truth, he would definitely have missed the worry and forced smiles hidden deep in their eyes.
"Come here, Shuang'er, I remember you loved this cold jellyfish salad when you were little."
After the three of them sat down, Feng Jun smiled and put a piece of food on Zhan Wushuang's plate, her smile revealing no sign of anything amiss.
"Little sister, your second sister toasts you."
Zhan Wuxin smiled and raised his glass to Zhan Wushuang, "To celebrate your safe return to us."
