It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

At night, the imperial city of Luoyang was quiet.

Zhengyang Palace was even quieter, except for Sima Zhong's snoring.

Zhang Du was silent in the palace for a while. After hearing the snoring becoming more and more steady, he quietly left the door and went to Tianyuan Palace where Yang Xianrong was.

Yang Xianrong was not asleep yet. She was watching Nanny Seven sewing the baby's clothes. Nanny Zhou was also cooking some nourishing hot red date porridge beside her. It was steaming and had some aroma wafting out.

She brought back Forsythia from Jinyong City and asked her to be her maid.

Forsythia was unhappy at first, thinking that she had helped Jia Nanfeng do so many bad things, and now that Xiao Heitan was dead, it might not be a bad ending for him to die in Jinyong City.

But Yang Xianrong disagreed.

After bringing the person back, she ignored her, but let her do things with Luzhu, coming in and out, and she was very busy.

Just when Forsythia thought she was an "old man" because she was familiar with various affairs in the palace, especially the etiquette regulations of the Queen of Jin Dynasty, Yang Xianrong suddenly called her into the palace, closed the door, and raised a He took off his clothes, removed his "belly", and then asked Forsythia: "What should I do now? Should I kill you, or keep you?"

Forsythia was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the Queen, this slave shall be punished by death."

"What are you guilty of?" Yang Xianrong looked at her, with no expression on his beautiful face.

Forsythia didn't dare to raise her head at all and was still kowtowing desperately. Her forehead was already red and swollen. "All slaves are guilty of death."

"It's okay, just tell me." Yang Xianrong put his "belly" aside and relaxed himself.

In fact, when they met Forsythia that day because of the incident between Yang Xianlian and Xiao Heitan, Lu Zhu had already quietly told Yang Xianrong about her.

This person is Jia Nanfeng's personal maid. She knows a lot about Jia Nanfeng and even participated in a lot of it. But later due to a serious illness, Jia Nanfeng was afraid that the illness in her body would spread to her, so he gradually stopped letting her take care of him. However, she can be said to be the leader and core figure among the maids in Janan, and she has always been very powerful.

Yang Xianrong didn't say anything at the time, but secretly remembered it in his heart.

After leaving her alone for more than a month, he suddenly asked her to talk, and the words he spoke were his "belly". It's strange that Forsythia didn't panic.

She knelt on the ground and speculated on the purpose of the sheep's presentation. Through these days of contact, she found that the new queen was not ostentatious and did not like to be lively. She just lived a peaceful life, and of course she felt a little discouraged. She also knew about Jia Nanfeng's arrogance and final loneliness, but what about being a maid?

"Queen, since I got seriously ill, I don't want to pay attention to many things. I just want to grow old in peace." Forsythia was still kowtowing.

Yang Xianrong looked at her and just said: "Do you think that in this troubled world, you can still grow up to be the youngest child in peace? Maybe you don't know whether you will die tomorrow, right?" After Forsythia paused in kowtow, she unexpectedly He stopped, raised his head and looked at Yang Xianrong, and suddenly smiled. "Does the Queen think so too?"

"I have always thought like this." Yang Xianrong said word by word, "Ever since I entered the palace, what I have been thinking about is not to die in an ugly way."

"...You are indeed different." Forsythia really laughed, "I have been serving Jian Nanfeng since I was a child. She is different. She has to compete with others in everything, so she makes herself so tired."

"She really can't think about it and can't understand it." Yang Xianrong also laughed, "I won't hide it from you. After this deposed ceremony, I have thought more. The harem has long been gone. There is a need to fight, and I am not the one who can decide what happens in the court. The only thing I have to do is to live my own life well, so that you people can live more comfortably."

"The Queen is wise." Forsythia kowtowed again.

"Okay, I have heard enough nice words. Now I just want to ask you: How to deal with this belly?" Yang Xianrong stared at her, "Anyway, we have a prince today, and this child is going to be Don’t you want to stay?”

"Queen, how dare you talk about such things?" Forsythia was sweating.

"It's okay, everyone around me knows it. Since you are also someone around me now, naturally I won't hide it from you. What's more, your compassion for Xiao Heitan is enough to prove that you still have some Conscience and justice, staying with me will only help you, not betray you."

"Queen." Forsythia fell to the ground again. Yang Xianrong's words may seem lighthearted, but they actually contain more meaning. At least her secret has been told to her, and she is by her side. If anything happens, she will die with the people in Tianyuan Palace. There is no second choice.

This is to force her to open her heart to Yang Xianrong and show her loyalty, and to transfer the remaining power of Jiananfeng in her hands to Yang Xianrong. She is not weak and coquettish as she seems, but is a very independent woman.

Forsythia lowered her head, thinking of that day when Yang Xianrong yelled at his own sister for Xiao Heitan, how he still had to wrap up Xiao Heitan's ankle injury despite those dirty things, and how he had to be with Yang Xianrong in the study room before. Xian Lian had tea together... She had never treated Xiao Heitan as a servant. Even if she didn't know his identity, she would treat him as seriously and kindly as a child.

In a palace like this, following the right talent is the most important thing. What did she gain from all the hard work she had done for Jia Nanfeng back then? But now, she was betting all her heart on this woman. She kowtowed solemnly, "Queen, I swear to protect you to the death."

Yang Xianrong laughed again, and there was a little light in his eyes. "It's not like you're dead. Just stay alive. I'll do the same to you."

This is a promise, and Forsythia understands it.

When Zhang Du came in, he was shocked to see Forsythia keeping vigil for the sheep. Naturally, he also knew the relationship between Forsythia and Jia Nanfeng, and even Sima Zhong hated Forsythia. However, he can't care much about it now, because the crown prince's matter is really too big, and he must discuss it with Yang Xianrong.

"After the reward was awarded, the emperor was about to get into the chariot and return to the palace. Who knew that Sima Jiong suddenly said this and brought Sima Tan to the emperor's eyes... The military guards beside him stopped the emperor's chariot. It was as if the emperor could be killed immediately if he said 'no'. The old slave and Ji Shizhong had already stopped in front of him, but Sima Jiong's voice was very loud..."

"Forget it, since it's already like this, there's no point in saying anything." Yang Xianrong waved his hand and asked Cuixi to bring some food to Zhang Du, "Don't worry, we are in control now. In the hands of others, save your life first. What’s more, what do you think a kid like Sima Tan, who doesn’t have all his hair, can do?"
