It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 569: Emotions are hard to control and the years are long

"Since you knew that, why did you let her come to me?" Liu Yao asked politely under the influence of alcohol.

"Hahahaha, I just wanted to see if she was sincere for you." Liu Cong laughed, "A smart woman like her should have been killed. If you hadn't been interested in her, I would have killed her as early as when we captured Luoyang."

"You!" Liu Yao was anxious, "No!"

"Yes, I know your heart, so I won't do anything. But, I know how you treated her over the years. But how did she treat you? She is Sima Zhong's queen, and she has a complicated relationship with Sima Ying. There are many people involved... Hehe, so what? Shouldn't I explore her heart?"

"Liu Cong! How could you doubt her?" Liu Yao slammed the table, "She treated me very well."

"That's good." Liu Cong smiled even more happily. "Isn't it a good thing that she can help you? Besides, it's such a blessing to have such a woman."

Liu Yao suddenly didn't know what to say. He couldn't see through Liu Cong now. The bright and cheerful boy had changed drastically in the past few years. It seemed wrong to say that he had become fierce and brutal. However, he was no longer as frank and free as before. His eyes were full of calculation and suspicion, which made him feel uncomfortable. When he realized this, he just wanted to stay away from him.

At this time, Liu Cong also noticed the eunuch Wang Shen's curious look, so he threw the wine bowl over and it fell to the ground and broke. Wang Shen was so scared that he shrank his head and left the door.

"Stay away from me!" Liu Cong roared, and the group of eunuchs and guards standing at the door and beside the bed moved away ten meters, and then another ten meters. Liu Cong snorted, took Liu Yao's wine bowl, took another big sip, then burped loudly, and a smile appeared on his face again.

He approached Liu Yao and whispered, "How about you help me kill Liu Yi?"

"What?" Liu Yao was shocked.

Liu Yi was the youngest son of Liu Yuan. His mother was Queen Shan. He was a legitimate prince, and his bloodline was more legitimate than Liu Cong's. At first, Liu Yi followed Liu He. Later, after Liu Cong killed Liu He, he made Liu Yi the crown prince, meaning that if he died, Liu Yi would inherit the throne. Now, he actually wanted to kill Liu Yi?
"I don't like him." Liu Cong laughed a little scary. "Tell me, I should make my own son the crown prince, how can I give it to my brother?"

"This..." Liu Yao was speechless. He didn't want to talk to Liu Cong anymore.

"I'll help you marry Yang Xianrong, and you help me kill Liu Yi, how about that?" Liu Cong moved closer to him, "Let Yang Xianrong be your wife, and I'll kill anyone who objects, how about that?"

"I don't know." Liu Yao shook his head. "Hehe, then don't think about it. I'll help you. You go kill Liu Yi." Liu Cong stood up and patted Liu Yao's shoulder, which happened to hit his wound. Liu Yao bent over in pain. Liu Cong laughed, "It's okay, don't worry, you just need to know."

When he said this, his voice was very loud, but the people outside did not hear the first half of the conversation, and had no way of knowing what he meant by this sentence. But Liu Yao had already had thousands of thoughts in his mind. He originally wanted to talk to Liu Cong about how to give Yang Xianrong a reasonable identity so that she could stay by his side with a legitimate reason. But now there was an exchange condition, not to mention killing the crown prince. Even if he had killed countless people, he still couldn't bring himself to do it for Liu Yi.

But no matter what, after drinking this big meal, Liu Yao still left the palace and returned to his residence in Pingyang. Of course, this was just a house of a wealthy family before, and the Han army broke in and drove the people away.

When Liu Yao knew that he had to return to Pingyang after his defeat, he sent his personal attendants to Xingyang to inform the Shaoying group to retreat early and not to stay. Liu Cheng immediately led the Shaoying group of 120 people, as well as Yang Xianrong and her five embroidered clothes messengers, back to Pingyang in a hurry. Fortunately, Liu Yao's status was very high now, and no one dared to bully them anymore.

After experiencing these tragic battles, Liu Cheng grew up a lot, and he became taller, with a faint heroic spirit. He was so imposing that no one dared to check his men when he entered Pingyang. Therefore, Yang Xianrong, who was still dressed as a doctor, also moved into Liu Yao's temporary residence smoothly.

She was somewhat worried. After all, her past identity was indeed an obstacle between her and Liu Yao. If others knew about it, especially the people of Dajin, she didn't know what bad things they would say. But what could she do?
When someone said that Liu Yao had returned to Pingyang, her heart beat even faster.

Then someone said that Liu Yao went straight into the palace and went to drink with Liu Cong. She felt very disappointed again, thinking that she didn't see Liu Yao at the first time. Should she go to the city gate in advance to see him?
It was not until midnight that Liu Yao staggered into the backyard and opened her door. She was not panicked at all, but just frowned and asked, "Why did you drink so much? Did you change your clothes and wash up? It stinks."

"Third sister, do you dislike me?" The candlelight was a little dim, and Liu Yao couldn't see clearly. But he vaguely saw that Yang Xianrong's face seemed to have become thinner, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch her. But Yang Xianrong dodged and called Wang Po and others to fetch water for him to wash.

"Third sister, I'm back." Liu Yao drank a lot of wine and was very drunk. Now he rushed back because of his extreme desire for her. Because he couldn't hold her hand, he had to sit down nearby and smiled at the person in front of him. "I almost died that day, but I still wanted to hug you, so I came back."

"What?" Yang Xianrong was a little surprised. "What happened?"

"Here, there was an arrow." Liu Yao pointed to his left shoulder, "It almost hit my heart, and I couldn't see you..."

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about? Even if I die, you can't die!" Yang Xianrong was a little angry, but also panicked. She walked quickly to his side and undressed him. Sure enough, under the dim light, she could see the bloody hole on his shoulder. Although it had healed, it still looked very shocking. Even though Yang Xianrong had been working as a doctor for these days and had seen many horrific wounds, she couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Liu Yao's injuries.

Liu Yao got the chance, hugged her, and immediately kissed her eagerly. The long-lost woman's fragrance made him feel dizzy and intoxicated.
