Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 762

Some of the officials kneeling on the ground were already fleeing in a hurry. The Eldest Princess smiled at their discomfiture and sneered in her heart, 'Haven't these officials who claimed to come here for the sake of the country also betrayed us in order to save their lives? I will keep none of these people!'

Though she thought this way, she put on a smile and counted, "Three!"

In the chaos below, screams could be heard continuously.

"Two!" The Eldest Princess seemed to like this very much, and her eyes filled with smile.

After a pause, she roared fiercely, "One!"

Only that sound of "One!" At that instant, it was all silence. The Eldest Princess frowned and raised her voice, "Shoot! Now!"

Still no one answered. The men in black on the wall didn't make any movement. The Princess was shocked and looked up but to see those men with bows and arrows falling backwards in unison.

The secret guards and Liu Wenan, who were guarding under the Temple of Heaven, took a few more steps towards the temple.

The Eldest Princess' heart sank. She drew the dagger closer to Xia Huanyu's neck and asked, "Do you want to kill Xia Huanyu?"

No one answered. The Princess saw that Liu Wenan waved his hand and was about to ask the secret guards to rush up to her. The Princess knew that something was wrong. She turned around the face of Xia Huanyu, who was in her arms, and saw that Xia Huanyu's face was pale and his lips were a little dark red, as if he had been poisoned.

The Princess immediately raised her hand and put it on the tip of Xia Huanyu's nose. Her face suddenly changed. She pushed the person in her arms down the Temple of Heaven and shouted, "It is a trap! Retreat."

As soon as the Princess finished speaking, several monks behind her threw a few black balls in front of them. With a bang, the black balls exploded in front of them. For a moment, the smoke was shrouded and nothing could be seen.

Liu Wenan suddenly shouted, "Don't let her run away."

The secret guards suddenly rushed up to the Temple of Heaven, and the smoke had gradually dissipated. Everyone looked up at the temple, only to find that the Princess was still standing at the top, but her body was a little stiff. In the blink of an eye, the dagger that had been placed horizontally on the fake Xia Huanyu's neck was placed in the same way in front of her.

No one knew what had happened just now, but they only saw a man in a black robe standing next to her. His face was cold, with a long scar almost crossing his entire face, making people involuntarily lower their heads.

"Guards, take the Eldest Princess back to the Taiji Palace," Xia Huanyu's voice rang out on the Temple of Heaven, surpassing the noise below.

Liu Wenan hurried forward, grabbed the Princess' hand, and ordered his men to tie her up and walked down the Temple of Heaven.

Xia Huanyu turned to look at Lady Shu and said lightly, "Thank you. You can go back to the Palace first." Lady Shu nodded quietly and went down temple slowly.

When they returned to the Taiji Palace, the Eldest Princess had already knelt down there, completely different from her previous arrogant aura. Perhaps it was because she had shaved her head, the Eldest Princess looked much thinner and older.

Xia Huanyu walked to the dragon throne and sat down, "Sister, do you admit defeat?"
