REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

And finally...

The chest slowly opened.

And what awaited them in there immediately made anyone take a step back, aghast with perfect bulging eyes.

Their response immediately aroused the curiosity of the people present there.

Emperor Fu Qing who was laughing earlier with a happy expression on his face suddenly fell silent.

While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan with a cold expression as well as the man next to her with a hardened jaw.

The contents of the chest were two dead crows. Lying with the two wings almost separated from the body. Bloodstained.

At that instant, Gu Yi immediately raised his hand, ignited his black flames in the chest, only for a split second, then turned into white flames. It seemed that he had almost lost control of himself.

Fu Xie Lan who saw the black flames was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gu Yi briefly then looked back at the chest that had turned to ashes.

Even though the black flames were only visible for a few seconds, but they did not escape Fu Xie Lan's attention.

No one noticed that the tiny flames were black before. Except for her, Fu Xie Lan.

Black flames are one of Demon's distinctive powers. Yes, and only that race is capable of summoning black flames from hell.

It was like what Fu Xie Lan had read at Elder Chen's residence when she was still at the phoenix academy. All sorts of thoughts raced through the girl's head again. What is she thinking? Only she knows.

While on the other hand, Guards Bai who saw what was happening before their eyes immediately sped away from the palace.

Looking for the mastermind behind the gift chest, although neither of them knew what the contents of the square box were, seeing from the response of the ruler made them understand that it was not something good.

In the silence, all people are staring in horror at the man who had become Princess Fu Xie Lan's husband.

It was the first time for them to see a white, hot flame. A few people standing not far from the little blaze quickly moved away, as far away as possible due to the heat. Included the Emperor and his two new servants who were standing behind the middle-aged man. Qiao and Lim.

Even the fear everyone felt was greater than their curiosity about the contents of the chest.

Everyone shuddered in horror, even though the flames were very small but the impact seemed to almost burn their skin if they stayed near the fire. Even in the distance that was a bit far, the heat was still felt. They couldn't imagine if the flames were bigger than that, the possibility that the commander in chief and the two soldiers who were very close to the chest would be scorched right then and there.

It is said that the white fire has a heat of about two thousand degrees Celsius, and this heat is equivalent to the heat in the sun's core.

"Gu Yi, put out the fire," Fu Xie Lan begged.

No one knows what Gu Yi was thinking at this moment, even though the chest had been destroyed, nothing was left when the black flames touched it, replaced with white flames that only burned space with nothing. Blazing against the wind that blows gently on the altar.

"You're scaring people," added Fu Xie Lan again.

"Hey, can't you hear me?" said Fu Xie Lan slightly raising her voice when she didn't get any response from the man.

Gu Yi immediately blinked his eyes as if he had just realized what he was doing.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Queen," the man replied in a small voice. His hand slowly raised, aiming at the flames, and at that very instant, the flames disappeared.

Immediately everyone breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat that had filled and soaked their body. Including Emperor Fu Qing.

"I'm sorry," said Gu Yi facing the middle-aged man behind him.

"E-eh y-yes, it's okay," replied the Emperor, stepping back and sitting in his original chair.

While on the other hand, the four people who previously carried the chest were already kneeling on the ground with their bodies shaking violently, sweat was dripping on their faces, some parts of the clothes they were wearing were already slightly wet with sweat.

They were scared, the four of them knew and saw clearly what was in the chest they were carrying. Giving it to His Majesty the Emperor as the Princess's wedding gift was tantamount to seeking death.

The commander-in-chief who had just woken up from his shock immediately turned to face the four people, pulled out his sword immediately, and brought it to the neck of one of them.

"LOOKING FOR DEATH? HUH?" shouted the Commander and managed to make the four people shudder.

The Commander suddenly pointed at them with his sword, no one would come to help. Who dares to go against the Commander of the kingdom? Against him was the same as opposing the royal palace, it would also mean opposing the reign of Emperor Fu Qing.

Finally, the four people surrendered. They firmly believed that today was truly the last day they lived.

All of them felt the same way, until the commander-in-chief's sword touched the skin of one of them, neither moving nor resisting in the slightest. It was as if he was ready to die right then and there.

"P-pardon us, Your Majesty."

"Princess, Your Majesty, we ask for forgiveness."

"Forgive us," shouted one of them a little hysterically, even his face was full of tears.

Hands trembled violently, even so, the man still voiced begging for mercy to the Lord of the Zu kingdom.

"SHUT UP!" snapped the commander-in-chief of the kingdom. He then turned to face the king without moving away from his sword from the neck of the man sitting on his knees beside him.

Slightly bowing his body, he spoke again.

"Give your orders, Your Majesty," said the Commander.

hearing the man's words, Emperor Fu Qing was stunned, rooted to the spot. He doesn't know what he's feeling right now, it's hard to even speak.

How could his daughter's happy day turn into a bloody day like this?

"Give your orders, Your Majesty," said the Commander again repeating his sentence.

Those who witnessed the incident felt anxious and afraid of what would happen next. Both the residents of the Zu kingdom and those from other kingdoms knew very well that the lives of the four people would end today.

Some of them have even turned a blind eye.

"GIVE YOUR ORDERS, YOUR majesty," said the Commander-in-Chief, repeating his sentence for the third time, his voice rising slightly, but it did not diminish his politeness in the least.

Emperor Fu Qing looked at the four people with a cold expression.

"Do it!" replied the king firmly. He would not forgive anyone who ruined his daughter's happy day. All those involved should be put to death.
