The pattern on this token is very simple, with only a few ripple-like lines carved on the edge, and only one word "black" engraved on the front, while the back is polished smooth and has nothing on it. This token feels heavy in the hand, but it is not made of iron, it is most likely carved from the rare black iron wood in the world.

Zheng Xian had his own private military camp called the Black Feather Army.

The Black Feather Army has about 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, all of whom are carefully selected elites, and are even stronger than the Imperial Guards. The token of the Black Feather Army has always been in Zheng Xian's hands, but I didn't expect that Zheng Xian didn't pass the token to Zheng Yan, but gave it to me!

I looked at the token with some hesitation. I have lost all my martial arts skills now. How could these powerful Black Feather Army obey the orders of a man who has no martial arts skills at all?

Zheng Xian said: "Take it. The prince is inexperienced and too much power in his hands is not a good thing for him."

I took the token and said hesitantly, "Isn't the emperor afraid that I can use this token to hold the emperor hostage and seize the world?"

Zheng Xian wanted to laugh after hearing this, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the blood gushed out and choked his throat, and he couldn't help coughing again.

When Wei Yi heard this, he turned pale with fear and almost wanted to snatch the token from my hand.

It’s not that Wei Yi was afraid that I would rebel, but if it were someone else, he would have died hundreds of times already because of what I said today. He didn’t want me to die early, so he thought of taking the token back.

Zheng Xian waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If Ah Man wants to seize the throne, there is no need to say it."

Zheng Xian really knows me better than I know myself.

Zheng Xian continued, "Ah Man is a lazy person. It is indeed difficult for you to lead the Black Feather Army, but I believe that Ah Man will find a suitable person to hand over the token to him."

Only then did I realize that Zheng Xian wanted me to hand the token over to Gongsun Wen!

This old fox, knowing full well that Gongsun Wen would definitely not accept the token if I gave it to him directly, actually went around in circles and wanted me to give it to him.

Gongsun Wen has the military power in his hands. Even if Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen become enemies in the future, Zheng Yan would not dare to touch Gongsun Wen easily. Is this an old father's protection for another son?

When I knew that this token was not for me, I felt a lot more relieved.

I put the token into my sleeve, patted it, and said, "Ah Man will never let down the emperor's trust. I will definitely find a suitable candidate for this token."

Zheng Xian looked at me and smiled. It was a sincere smile, like a smile of relief after completing an important task.

As soon as I took the token, a navy blue figure walked in.

When this dark blue figure appeared, no one announced it, and no one stopped it. It walked straight to Zheng Xian, knelt down, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the blue bird has come to report."

Zheng Xian hummed and said, "Bluebird, from now on you will follow Concubine Shu. If she gives birth, you will live. If she dies, you will die."

The blue bird looked up at Zheng Xian in surprise, then looked at me, and finally kowtowed three times to Zheng Xian and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the blue bird obeys your order."

In this way, Bluebird became my death warrior.

Death warriors are different from secret guards. Secret guards can have their own ideas when performing tasks, but death warriors cannot. They can only obey the orders of their masters. If their masters want them to die, they dare not live.

Zheng Xian's kindness to me was real. Even though he ruined my happiness for the rest of my life, I can't hate him.

Zheng Xian covered his mouth with a white towel and coughed a few more times, saying, "A'man, please go back first. I still have things to tell those ministers."

I stood up, knelt on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed three or nine times to Zheng Xian.

Zheng Xian did not stop me, but watched me bow quietly, because he knew that this bow might be a farewell forever.

After I finished worshipping, I stood up and said sadly, "Grand Emperor, A'man can't bear to leave you."

Zheng Xian was silent for a moment, then said, "After I leave, you will have no contact with Dayu anymore. The prince's destiny person will appear soon. When the time comes, you can go wherever you want. Your body will no longer become weak because of the connection with destiny."

I was confused at first, but then I understood what Zheng Xian meant. It turns out that every emperor has his own person of destiny.

So, now that Zheng Xian is dead, can I go back?

Before I could figure it out, Zheng Xian waved his hand and asked Wei Yi to take me out.

I quickly said, "Your Majesty, Lord Gongsun is seriously ill. I would like to go to his home to treat him. Is that ok?"

"Zi Yan is seriously ill?" This news obviously did not reach Zheng Xian. He was stunned at first, then looked at me deeply and said, "You are a good doctor, you can go and take a look."

With Zheng Xian's permission, I can now go to the Taifu Mansion with legitimate reasons.

I left the bedroom and saw many ministers standing outside. Some of them I knew and some I didn’t, but they all bowed to me respectfully.

Thanks to Yang's teaching, I learned a phrase: "No need to be polite, my friends."

After I left the bedroom, Yang and Yingchun were waiting outside the main hall. When they saw me come out, they hurried to greet me.

I introduced Qingniao to both of them, but I didn't tell them that Qingniao was from the Dark Guard Camp. I just said that she was sent by the Emperor to protect me.

Qingniao was dressed in tight clothes and looked rather cold and stern, looking as if he wanted to keep strangers away. Yingchun was a little afraid of Qingniao and couldn't help but move closer to Yang.

I said to the blue bird, "Since you have followed me, I would like to give you a new name. What do you think?"

It looked like a question, but in fact it did not allow for objection. Bluebird said obediently, "Please give me a name, Madam Shufei."

I said, "You soar straight up into the sky, and rise to the sky. I will name you Fuyao. What do you think?"

When I finished the first half of the sentence, Qingniao thought I named her Qingyun, but she didn't expect that I actually called her Fuyao. She really couldn't keep up with my train of thought.

Bluebird, now renamed Fuyao, clasped her fists towards me and said, "Thank you, Empress Shufei, for giving me the name Fuyao."

At this time, the horse-drawn carriage that came to greet me had arrived. The two people driving the horses were not as tall as Zhang San and Li Si. Instead, they were short and thin. They looked very honest, like honest farmers. Moreover, their faces were quite similar, and they were obviously twins.

The two men got off the carriage, walked in front of me, knelt down, and said loudly: "I am Lingyun."

"I am Lingzhi."

"Greetings to Her Majesty Shufei."

Even their last names are the same, so they are undoubtedly twins. But I still have to ask: "Are you two twins? Who is the older brother? Who is the younger brother?"

Ling Zhi said: "My lady, we are indeed twins. I am the elder brother and Ling Yun is the younger brother, but we were born not long ago, less than half a quarter of an hour apart."

It is said that twins have a natural tacit understanding. Ling Zhi and Ling Yun are indeed like that. When one of them moves a stool, the other immediately lifts the door curtain. They cooperate very well.
