It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 505: Can't Live or Die

Concubine Pei was about to leave, and asked Yang Xianrong to go south with her to find Sima Rui.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide too much from you. Yuan Caidie has become Sima Rui's princess consort, and is his wife as a co-wife. Because she is grateful for your help and she and Sima Jing are like mother and daughter, she told me before that if Sima Chi couldn't survive one day, I could go to them..."

"Then what? What to do?" Yang Xianrong folded the note from the embroidered robe messenger and put it in her jewelry box. She quickly digested Concubine Pei's words, and at the same time, all her previous guesses were confirmed one by one. There were only the two of them in the bedroom of Tianyuan Palace, one old and one young, sitting opposite each other and talking.

The eunuchs and servants of the two men also drove far away. After all, the content of the conversation at this time was about national affairs and personal escape. No one heard it, and no one else should hear it.

The supply of charcoal in the Luoyang Palace had long been cut off, and the cold weather of early spring made everyone unusually sober.

"What else can we do? Just don't stay here. You can see that Liu Yuan's troops are already approaching. If Luoyang is lost, we will all be dead." Concubine Pei was a little impatient.

"If you leave like this, what about what you promised me?" Yang Xianrong stared at Concubine Pei, her tone was not polite at all. Even if her hair was already gray and her face had wrinkles, so what? The relationship between the two of them was both an enemy and a friend, and there was nothing unspeakable.

Concubine Pei was stunned for a moment before she said, "In his condition, it should be very dangerous. He won't last long."

"So what? You did so many things just to curry favor with Sima Rui. Do you think he can take charge of the world of the Jin Dynasty and do a good job?" At this time, Yang Xianrong's voice became sharp.

"What's wrong? Can't it be done? Do you think someone like Sima Chi can be the emperor?" Concubine Pei was also anxious. "I am taking you away with good intentions. I think you are Sima Zhong's queen. Don't be ungrateful!"

"Even if Sima Chi is not the emperor, Sima Rui is not either." Yang Xianrong finally said, "The emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty are only Sima Yan and Sima Zhong. The others are not, and will never be."

"Okay." Concubine Pei looked at her, "So what? What are you going to do? Follow Sima Chi?"

"Haha, how is that possible?" Yang Xianrong glanced at her, "Since I am the queen of the Great Jin Dynasty, then the destruction of the country and the destruction of my family is nothing more than the death of my people. What else is there to say?"

"You!" Concubine Pei wanted to say something harsh, but when she saw Yang Xianrong like this, she suddenly didn't know what to say. She clenched her fists, and clenched them again.

"Of course, dying for one's country is much better than being buried alive." Yang Xianrong laughed, "But before that, I must kill Sima Yue."

"Why do you insist on this?" Concubine Pei asked, "He will die sooner or later if he looks like that."

"He should die in my hands, so that I can be worthy of the emperor after I die for my country!" Yang Xianrong took a deep breath, "I have already decided on this matter, and I will never regret it. If you are unwilling to do it, then I must do it myself, and I have already done it." "What did you do?" Concubine Pei widened her eyes.

"I knew you wouldn't do it, ha ha ha, yes, this man is your husband, after all, you have had a relationship for so many years, and your wealth and glory all depend on him. Now, after the death of that shadow maid, you also have a prince, and your life is acceptable. Moreover, you have Sima Rui as a backup... Concubine Pei, your calculations are really first-class. However, I don't plan, I just need to avenge Sima Zhong. You also know that I, Yang Xianrong, usually take revenge on the spot. If I can't, I will definitely do my best to take revenge as quickly as possible."

"Yang Xianrong!" Concubine Pei felt a little embarrassed when her conspiracy was exposed. She glared at him and said, "I did this because I wanted to stay alive..."

"What's the meaning of living?" Yang Xianrong asked her. "In such a power struggle, we women are just appendages to them. They can be killed at will! Look at that Queen Liang. Do you think she could still be alive when Liu Yuan attacked? And those singing girls and beauties before, they all died a long time ago."

"Those bitches deserve to die."

"Then who won't die? I don't care what you think. At least for me, the world of the Great Jin has no meaning to exist anymore. An idiot like Sima Chi is not even worthy of being an emperor."

Seeing the dark aura on Yang Xianrong's face, Concubine Pei suppressed her anger and said, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your family, right? Your silly sister, your daughter, your mother... You can't let all of your family die with you, right?"

"So what? Staying alive may not be a good thing. You may just suffer more torture and humiliation. It's better to die now." Thinking of the family members living in Tianyuan Palace, Yang Xianrong hesitated, but finally hardened her heart. "Have you read what those history books say? When a dynasty was overthrown, the women in the harem had a good end? Death is the best way."

"What about Sima Jing? She is the daughter of Sima Zhong and the bloodline of the Sima family. We should keep her alive." Concubine Pei looked at Yang Xianrong, "I don't care what you want to do, but this is the bloodline of the Sima family. I want her to stay."

"What do you want?" Yang Xianrong raised an eyebrow, "Take her away and use her to threaten me in the future?"

"Why do you have to say it so bluntly? Do you think I don't know who her biological mother is?" Concubine Pei smiled strangely.

"So what?" Yang Xianrong also laughed, "So, you let Yuan Caidie get close to her on purpose because you wanted to get rid of her, right? It doesn't matter. She's grown up now, and all the choices are in her hands."

"Okay!" Concubine Pei also saw that Yang Xianrong didn't want to be with her at this moment, and maybe she had other plans. But if she had Sima Jing in her hands, she would still be able to negotiate with her in the future. "Then I want to go see the little princess."

"Okay." Yang Xianrong nodded, "If you want to leave, go ahead. I will never keep you."

"Okay." Concubine Pei stood up, but suddenly said, "You... don't have to..."

"My life has been tied to the Jin Dynasty since the moment I agreed to marry Sima Zhong. Now, as long as I can avenge him, I will have no regrets. Under such circumstances, if I can live, I will live. If I can't live, I can die."
