280 This Fire Is Not Hot
Jiang Xi was stunned when she saw the phoenix leg. She pulled it out again and pulled the whole phoenix out. It was a living phoenix! A phoenix that was reborn from the ashes with a new life! The bright red flame-shaped phoenix crown on the phoenix’s head was very eye-catching. The seven-colored feathers on its body had also turned fiery red, as if they could burn at any time. Its eyes looked down on all living beings, and its domineering gaze was overflowing. However, when it met Jiang Xi’s eyes, it immediately cowered. it retracted its wings and called out obediently, “Quack…” After a duck’s cry, the phoenix stood behind Jiang Xi obediently.
The imperial preceptor’s mouth twitched. It had already been reborn, so why was she still calling him that?
“The phoenix reincarnates to save the world. Every time, the person it chooses will become the emperor who rules the world. You’re lucky to have met this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” The imperial preceptor frowned slightly as he looked at Jiang Xi and sighed. The phoenix had fallen into the hands of an outsider.
Jiang Xi blinked. Was it that rare? The phoenix suddenly catch fire when it was three years old and was roasted, rught? After that, she sprinkled some cumin on it. It was very fragrant. However, what was wrong with this phoenix? she clearly felt that it’s already cooked, but why is it still alive when she dragged it out?
The phoenix, who had successfully reincarnated, trembled. Why did it feel that Jiang Xi was still very regretful?
“Quickly, quickly call the imperial physician over!” The emperor looked at Jiang Xi’s hand worriedly. When he saw it, he was stunned. How could it be so fair and tender? There was no injury at all. The emperor did not believe it and wiped the smoke on the phoenix’s body…
With a sizzling sound, the emperor was scalded and let out a blood-curdling scream that shook the world. In front of the people, the emperor waved his hands, jumped up and down, blowing hard, in sharp contrast to the calm Jiang Xi beside him.
The emperor was injured and had suffered a serious psychological trauma. He looked at Jiang Xi’s fair and tender little hand and then at his own black hand. He fell silent. Was God warning him to quickly step down and retire?
“Little sister, are you alright? You scared me to death, is that fire something you can touch so casually? What if you get scalded?” Jiang Shan stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Xi’s hand, and examined it carefully. He was relieved to see that there were no scars.
“Don’t you feel that something is wrong?” The emperor looked at Jiang Shan.
“What’s wrong? When my sister was carried out of the snow, her body was stiff and she was out of breath. However, in the end, she still came back to life.” Jiang Shan’s attitude was as if anything could happen to his sister.
Jiang Shan’s matter-of-fact expression almost made the emperor depressed to death. However, when he heard Jiang Shan say that he had carried Jiang Xi out of the snow, he realized that Jiang Shan was his daughter’s savior, and he immediately had a better impression of him. Nonetheless, what if he had a good impression of her? He would not be the emperor anymore soon!
“Third brother, don’t worry. This fire is not scalding. It’s warm and comfortable.” Jiang Xi grinned and laughed heartily.
“Then why do you look like you’re suffering?” Jiang Shan mumbled to himself. Seeing that Jiang Xi was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“I want to go to the bathroom,” Jiang Xi said with a red face. Her little face was blue and purple, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her legs began to tremble. She wanted to go to the toilet, but she was afraid that the phoenix would be burnt. Who knew… Jiang Xi glanced at the phoenix. The phoenix sensed danger and took a step back silently.
“Princess, please return to the palace!”
“I beg the princess to return to the palace, I beg the princess to return to the throne!” All the officials stepped forward, cupped their hands, and knelt on the ground. In any case, they had to coax the man back first.
“Xixi, father has owed you all these years. Can you go back to the palace and let father make it up to you? Your mother… She did something wrong behind the scenes. It’s her fault.” The emperor sighed in his heart. Actually, the empress was not the only one who did something wrong. What he did was also wrong. At this thought, the emperor turned to look at Zhao Panpan and Jiang Si, his eyes cold. “Zhao Panpan will be whipped 80 times and hung on the city wall for three days. Not only did she take over the city, but she also killed innocent children!” The emperor’s eyes were filled with coldness. Lady Xin’s son had been buried under a well by Zhao Panpan.
Speaking of which, almost all of the emperor’s sons had never grown up. The emperor did not dare to think about the reason. Just like the Zhao family, after giving birth to Zhao Ruifeng, they could not give birth to any other boys.
