It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 574: Beauty Like Jade Ageless

Liu Yao had noticed that Yang Xianrong's expression was different a long time ago. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I don't know either. Before, I told the emperor about what happened between you and me, and of course he knew everything. It's just that, now..."

"A lot of people are talking about me, right?" Yang Xianrong smiled bitterly. "Liu Yao, having come this far, how could I not know that I would face such a situation? In fact, when I decided to follow you and come to Pingyang, I knew this day would come."

Faced with Yang Xianrong's frankness and honesty, Liu Yao didn't know what to say. He could only look at him steadily, but his hand had already held her little hand. However, he found that Yang Xianrong avoided him this time and even stepped back.

"When I enter the palace today, I am still the widow of Emperor Xiaohui of the Great Jin Dynasty. Do you know that?" Yang Xianrong said solemnly, "Wait at the door for a moment. I will come after changing my clothes."

After saying that, Yang Xianrong had already turned and entered the inner room. Liu Yao couldn't follow her in, but he was also savoring the meaning of her words. Of course, he could also hear Yang Xianrong's unfamiliarity with him from the word "Liu Yao" she called out.

For some reason, he was a little scared. He liked to hear Yang Xianrong call him "Brother Liu" or "General" in a slightly joking tone. But calling him by his full name was not only alienating, but also hostile.

"Third sister." He did not enter the inner room, but still called out. Yang Xianrong inside ignored her, and only the sound of her shaking her dress could be heard.

The room Yang Xianrong lived in was the main room. Since Liu Yao was not at home, she was the owner of the general's mansion. Even after Liu Yao came back, she only asked Liu Cheng and others to clean up the east wing for him to live in. At that time, Liu Cheng asked, "Isn't it inappropriate?"

Yang Xianrong smiled and said, "Who knows, he might move into the palace."

As a result, just as she said, Liu Yao did not stay in his own mansion for a single day in the five days since he came back.

There were not many furnishings in Yang Xianrong's main room, even dresses were rare, and the most common items were herbs that had not yet been chopped and processed.

The clothes and bags she brought were very simple, even her dress was still the scarlet color of her teenage years, and she had no jewelry except the pair of white jade earrings.

However, it is precisely because of this simplicity that her extraordinary appearance is highlighted. Although she is thin, her pair of clear eyes are even more eye-catching. Yang Xianrong is now over 20 years old, but she is still as beautiful and elegant as a girl, without the materialism and pettiness of a woman.

When she quickly dressed and walked out of the room, Liu Yao was stunned there, with many sparkling expressions in his eyes.

The woman in front of him had a beautiful face, skin as white as jade, eyebrows as thin as silk, a little red on her lips, as crystal clear as a gem, and her eyes were clear and clean under the sunlight. Her black hair was combed into a bun, hanging gracefully on her shoulders, like a flowing painting. Her beauty was like a silent old well, and no matter how time passed, it was difficult to shake.

"Third sister." There was actually some timidity in his voice. He thought that if he had met Yang Xianrong like this ten years ago, he might not have dared to step forward.

"Let's go." Yang Xianrong just glanced at him and walked out of the room. Outside the door were Liu Cheng, Cao Zheng, and Liu Yao's deputy generals and followers. They were all speechless when they saw Yang Xianrong suddenly become like this. Liu Cheng couldn't help but say, "Is this... a girl?"

"Can Liu Cheng enter the palace?" Yang Xianrong asked.

"The emperor didn't say he wanted to see him." Liu Yao followed him out, still in the appearance of a great general in armor, and now there was a sense of harmony between the general and the beauty. "Liu Cheng, go to my room and move the herbs to the east gate. I don't have time to chop them up, you guys go and do it." Yang Xianrong tried her best to keep smiling, her voice was very gentle, "It's okay, I want to go to the palace to take a look. You and Cao Zheng take the Shaoying group, as well as Wang Po and the others to the east gate. If I don't come back... you don't have to go back to the general's mansion."

"Girl!" Wang Po and a few others rushed back from outside, not caring that the place was full of soldiers with swords and knives, and they all ran in front of Yang Xianrong.

"Hey, Wang Po, it's alright. You can go outside the east gate first." Yang Xianrong even laughed, "Eat something before you go out. You are not young anymore, you can't go hungry."

"Girl." Wang Po was very nervous and wanted to take another step forward, but Liu Yao stopped her. Wang Po had no choice but to say, "Girl, where are you going? You can always tell us, right?"

"Let's go into the palace and take a look." Yang Xianrong looked at her and sighed, "Don't follow me. I'm just going to take a look. There are still many old friends there. We have to meet them. You don't have to go. You don't need to meet those people."

"Girl." This is the only sentence Wang Po can say.

"Go ahead." Yang Xianrong waved her hand and walked straight out of the door. Liu Yao could only follow her.

She straightened her back and walked towards the palace step by step.

Actually, it was not far. It was just like the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and it was only one street away from the General's Mansion. Liu Yao was still thinking about whether to find a sedan chair, but Yang Xianrong had already walked out of the gate, onto the long street, and approached the Imperial Palace.

Many people saw her along the way.

Anyone would take a second look at a woman with such a beautiful face. But seeing Liu Yao behind her and a large group of expressionless soldiers, they dared not look any more and quietly stepped aside. They were just thinking in their hearts: Who is this woman? Is something big going to happen again?
In fact, even Yang Xianrong thought so. Because she felt that if she went to the palace, she would definitely meet the captives of the Jin Dynasty, and even live with them. As a captured hostage or a slave, although she was not too worried about her life, at least Liu Yao was behind her. Liu Cong had an agreement with her before, so she was not particularly worried.

But all this was agreed upon in Luoyang. Now that they were all in Luoyang, the situation had changed again. Those officials and generals of the Jin Dynasty who were unwilling to be destroyed were still making their last efforts. Then, if she, the queen of the Jin Dynasty, really mixed up with Liu Yao, it would be really unacceptable. At least she would not have the face to face them directly.

Yang Xianrong became nervous.

Liu Yao was even more nervous.

The two men walked into the Luoyang Palace one after the other. Since the guards knew Liu Yao, they naturally would not stop them. They had never seen Yang Xianrong before, and were attracted by the woman's appearance, and they would not take their eyes off her.

Liu Yao frowned and coughed twice, but it seemed to be of no use.

It was not until a woman's sharp scream broke the silence of the palace that these people looked around, looking for the source of the sound. At the same time, they raised their swords.
