It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 678: Phoenix's Order Cannot Disobey the Queen's Position

Yang Xianyong had been dead for three months, and the body could not be transported due to the long journey, so Yang Xiankang and Liu Yao decided to bury him on the spot, just like other soldiers who had fought in the war, and buried him among the green mountains and clear waters of the Chibi area.

Yang Xiankang took off the most meaningful hair crown from his brother and brought it back home, thinking that it would be good to build a tomb for Yang Xianyong in Chang'an, at least it would be his brother's personal belonging.

The people in the Yang family had already received the bad news and were crying their hearts out.

Yang Xianrong had a very good relationship with her eldest brother. She was so sad that she fainted several times. But she had to stand up and take on the heavy responsibility of the Yang family. At this moment, she couldn't fall down because she had to take care of the whole family. Especially Li Lianhua left the battlefield because of pregnancy and childbirth, and did not go with Yang Xianyong this time.

But I didn't expect that this would be our final farewell.

She had just given birth to their child, a big fat boy. The letter had just been sent out, and Yang Xianyong didn't know about it before he died.

Li Lianhua was in excruciating pain. She refused to eat or drink and felt like she was dead.

Yang Xianrong had no choice but to hold her child by her side, but she had already run out of milk, so she had to ask Cuixi to find some goat milk for the child. She had recovered a little from the initial shock and grief, having seen too many deaths and lives, and she was both prepared and unprepared for these.

However, life had to go on. At this time, even Liu Yao's life or death was uncertain, and the second brother was also at the front... It was always worrying.

The only thing she could do now was to protect the Yang family and ensure the safety of Liu Yao's rear. If Liu Yao was defeated and killed, she would not be able to survive in Chang'an. Therefore, she cheered up and managed everything in the General's Mansion personally, and could not tolerate any mistakes.

Liu Yao has already sat on the throne of the Han Emperor, and everything is different.

Half a month later, the Chang'an Palace began to be repaired in preparation for Liu Yao's return to the capital.

Liu Yao also wrote a long letter to Yang Xianrong, telling her some details of his elder brother's death and his plans after becoming emperor. Yang Xianrong took the letter and locked herself in the room for a day and a night without coming out or eating. She just sat in the dark and thought of many things.

At one point, she even wondered: If gods really existed, could they make her life less miserable?

What finally broke her silence was the sound of a baby crying.

Li Lianhua knelt outside Yang Xianrong's door holding Yang Xianyong's newborn son, crying and asking her: "This is Yang's flesh and blood, you have to give him a name!"

The child was still very young, wrinkled and not fully grown, and there was no resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes to her older brother. But war was so cruel, she had lost so many relatives, but there were still people alive who needed her.

"Yang Ruochi will always remember the place where his father died in battle." Yang Xianrong hugged the child and cried again. The next day, she began to busy herself with arranging things for the Chang'an Palace.

Maybe, being busy is a good thing, as it allows you to forget many things and pains.

When Liu Yao came back, she did not go to the city gate to greet him. She knew her identity and knew that many things would change after Liu Yao became emperor. Even because of her previous identity, she would become a stain on Liu Yao's new emperor and be criticized by the world. Although she would not doubt Liu Yao's love for her, she also hoped that Liu Yao would not have weaknesses because of her.

Perhaps, the General's Mansion, which has become the Yang Mansion, is her last safe place.

She was also afraid to meet Liu Yao, afraid that after this man became emperor, there would be a change in power. Because she had seen too much, Sima Zhong's stupidity, Sima Ying's ambition, Sima Chi's corruption, Sima Rui's insidiousness... and those ugly people, all vying for this position. Now, Liu Yao has taken this position. She admits that she played a role in promoting it, but when the time comes, she is also afraid. After putting her eldest brother's hair crown into the black lacquered coffin, everyone in the Yang family cried, but she suddenly thought in her heart, where should she be buried in the future? It must not be Sima Zhong's Sun Mausoleum, and she can't go back to Tai'an County... Thinking of this, the whole person became dazed.

She was still in a trance when Liu Yao rushed in, watching him yell at her, hugging her tightly, and pressing his face against hers with tears streaming down his face. His beard was so prickly that it even hurt her.

Yes, she could feel the pain.

"Liu Yao." She called him softly.

Liu Yao trembled all over, "I'm here, I'm here! Third sister, I'm here!"

"You are the emperor now, you can't be so disrespectful." Yang Xianrong pushed him.

"You are my wife, my queen, and this is what I want." How could Liu Yao let Yang Xianrong push him away? He hugged her tighter, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect my brother well. He was trying to protect me..."

"I don't blame you." Yang Xianrong really wanted to cry again, but she couldn't, because so many people were there, because she was Liu Yao's wife, she couldn't blame him, she had to comfort him and enlighten everyone, "Big brother won't blame you either, he's happy that you survived, and I'm also happy that you're alive, still by my side, and can hug me."

"Third sister." Liu Yao didn't know what to say, but tears fell down his face.

The tears of the two merged together, and they were both in tears.

"Can we..." Yang Xianrong whispered, "Stop fighting and just retreat to Chang'an, okay?"

Liu Yao couldn't agree to this, so he didn't say anything.

Yang Xianrong knew that she shouldn't ask this question, but she couldn't help but ask, "Can you let my second brother stop being a general and come back to me?"

Liu Yao nodded in agreement. He knew that Yang Xianrong could not bear to lose any more members of the Yang family. In fact, he was no exception.

Half a month later, on an auspicious day and at an auspicious time, Liu Yao held a formal coronation ceremony. Despite everyone's opposition, he insisted on holding Yang Xianrong's hand and walking shoulder to shoulder with her to the highest position of the Han Dynasty. "She is my wife, my treasure, and my life. She has made so many military achievements and done so many things for the Han Dynasty. She even asked the gods to bless the people. Why can't she stand here with me?"

The first to kneel were the common people, followed by the soldiers, and then the officials of the Han Empire.

Liu Yao didn't care, and Yang Xianrong didn't care either.

At this moment, she has been crowned queen for the sixth time, a life that is unprecedented and unparalleled.

This time, she walked in the imperial city of Chang'an, dressed in red. After all, she was no longer walking alone, but with Liu Yao.

In the chaotic times of changing dynasties, the abolition and establishment of the title of "Queen" is not important. For her personally, living and feeling the joys and sorrows of the world is the only way to make her life worthwhile.
