Nirvana Phoenix Song

Chapter 2: The Storm Rises, Every Step Startles (Rewrite)

In the cold palace in the early morning, there was still the smell of decay, and even the air was cold. Feng Tangyue stood by the dilapidated window, with her hands behind her back, looking coldly at the palace wall in the distance. She knew that the storm outside was about to come, and she had to make all preparations before the storm came.

"The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and the Queen is about to take control of the government?" Feng Tangyue sneered and shook her head. "They really are not afraid of death."

She had already figured out the Queen's intentions. The Queen Mother was just a roadblock to the Queen's seizure of power. Once the Queen Mother fell completely ill, the Queen would legitimately take over the government and become the de facto ruler. And she - Feng Tangyue, the so-called "waste princess", was just an insignificant existence in their eyes.

"Since they dare to attack, don't blame me for being rude." Feng Tangyue narrowed her eyes, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. She is no longer the little princess who allows herself to be bullied. Now, she has strength, wisdom, and most importantly, a heart that is unwilling to surrender.

"Your Highness." The eunuch rushed in, interrupting Feng Tangyue's thoughts. He looked flustered, with fear and anxiety in his eyes.

Feng Tangyue turned around and looked at him coldly: "What's the matter?"

The young eunuch bowed quickly and said, "Your Highness, there are rumors outside that the Queen Mother summoned the Queen and several important officials in the court today to discuss the next steps of the court. I also heard that... they are preparing to take action against you, the third princess."

Feng Tangyue raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sneer on her face: "I knew they wouldn't be so obedient."

She knew in her heart that the Queen and the ministers had disliked her for many years, and now was a good opportunity to take action. As long as she completely disappeared from this world, everyone in the palace would be relieved.

"Well, I'd like to see how they plan to deal with me." Feng Tangyue said coldly, with a hint of cruelty in the smile on her lips.

"Your Highness, I heard that they planned to make you 'accidentally' sick, and then take the opportunity to completely get rid of you from the cold palace..." The little eunuch's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that he also knew how vicious this plan was.

Feng Tangyue narrowed her eyes, a cold light flashing in her eyes. **"Sick? Get rid of me?"** These people dared to attack her like this, they are really courting death!

She was never afraid of a strong opponent, but was most afraid of an opponent who was not smart enough. And now, the queen and her lackeys obviously underestimated her ability. "Is that all they can do? Too naive."

Feng Tangyue calmed down and quickly formulated a response strategy in her mind. She would not sit still and wait for death. Since the other party had already shown his fangs, she would not show mercy. Since we have to fight, let's fight to the end!

"Listen to me carefully." Feng Tangyue's voice was cold and her eyes were sharp. "From now on, you will find out all the news related to the queen, especially the movements of her confidants. I want to know every step she takes, and I can't miss a single thing."

The young eunuch was so scared that he nodded repeatedly and turned to leave.

"Wait." Feng Tangyue suddenly stopped him, her eyes darkening, "Remember, be secretive. If you are discovered, I can't protect you."

The young eunuch bowed quickly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will be careful."

Looking at the eunuch's back as he left, Feng Tangyue sneered in her heart. "The Queen wants me to disappear, so why not give her an unexpected surprise first?"

In the evening, the atmosphere in the palace became more tense, but the cold palace was still dead silent. Feng Tangyue sat quietly on the shabby bed, her eyes deep, as if she had seen through everything.

She is no longer the third princess who was manipulated by others. In her previous life, she experienced too many conspiracies and she knew that in the game of power, there are no real friends, only absolute strength. But now, she has been reborn, and the power of Nirvana is surging in her body. As long as she wants, she can easily burn down this palace and burn all those who stand in her way.

"However, strength alone is not enough." Feng Tangyue whispered to herself, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "I need more chips."

Just as she was thinking about her next plan, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Your Highness, I have found out important news!" The little eunuch ran in in a panic, panting, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Speak." Feng Tangyue's eyes were sharp, concise and powerful.

"The Queen is going to take action against you tonight! She has sent someone to prepare a dose of 'medicine' for you. If you drink it, the news of your death will spread in the cold palace tomorrow morning!"

Feng Tangyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "I can't help it."

She stood up and slowly walked to the window, her eyes deep and cold: "They think that they can kill me with just a bowl of poison? How naive."

"Then... Your Highness, what are you going to do?" The young eunuch's face was full of panic, and it was obvious that he had been frightened by this conspiracy.

"What should I do?" Feng Tangyue chuckled, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. "I want them to see with their own eyes that I am alive and well! I also want them to know what the price is if they want to touch me!"

As night fell, there was a dead silence inside and outside the cold palace. Suddenly, several palace maids in black sneaked into the cold palace, holding a bowl of black medicine in their hands, with cold eyes.

"It's here." The leading palace maid said in a low voice, looking around. After making sure that no one was paying attention, she pushed open the shabby wooden door of the cold palace.

Feng Tangyue had already been lying on the bed, resting with her eyes closed, as if she had no idea that someone was going to attack her. Several palace maids tiptoed to her side and placed the medicine bowl at the head of her bed.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to drink the medicine that the Queen sent." The leading maid whispered with a sinister smile on her face.

Feng Tangyue slowly opened her eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She did not move immediately, but slowly propped herself up, staring at the palace maids with cold eyes.

"What? The Queen sent me medicine and you guys to serve me?" Her voice was full of teasing and sarcasm, like a cold blade that pierced directly into the hearts of those palace maids.

Several palace maids trembled with fear and turned pale instantly. They obviously did not expect Feng Tangyue to be so calm, and they did not expect her tone to carry such a strong deterrent force.

"Princess, the Queen has ordered us to bring you some medicine. You'd better drink it quickly." The leading maid tried to remain calm, but her voice was trembling slightly.

Feng Tangyue glanced at the bowl of medicine and smiled coldly: "What if this medicine is poison? Do you think I will die if I drink it?"

"I, I dare not! This medicine is for the princess to nourish her body, how can it be poisonous?" The palace maid hurriedly denied it, with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

Feng Tangyue's eyes turned cold, and she threw the bowl of medicine heavily to the ground. The medicine juice scattered everywhere, making a crisp cracking sound.

"Go back and tell the Queen that I, Feng Tangyue, will not die so easily." She stood up, her eyes as sharp as a knife, "If you want me to die, you'd better do it in person!"

Several palace maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They kowtowed repeatedly: "Please spare my life, my lord and princess! We are only following orders!"

Feng Tangyue sneered and waved her hand: "Get lost!"

That night, there was movement in the palace again. Every corner of the palace seemed to be caught in a silent tense atmosphere. Feng Tangyue stood by the window of the cold palace, the wind whistled outside, and there was a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Queen, why are you in such a hurry? This is just the beginning." Her voice was low, with undisguised sarcasm and determination in her tone. She knew that this struggle was not only for survival, but also for regaining control of her own destiny.

Feng Tangyue turned around and looked at the young eunuch in the room: "Have they started yet?"

"Yes, Your Highness, there seems to be some unusual movement in the Queen's palace today, with many ministers coming in and out." The little eunuch replied tremblingly, his voice full of fear.

"It seems that she knows she can't wait any longer." Feng Tangyue narrowed her eyes slightly, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes. It was no secret that the queen wanted to get rid of her, but this time, she would not let these people succeed.

At the same time, in the queen's bedroom.

"Is it done?" The queen asked coldly, sitting on the gorgeous throne. Behind her stood several maids and palace maids, all of whom lowered their heads and dared not speak.

The leading maid stepped forward tremblingly, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, the medicine for the Third Princess Feng... has been delivered. But..."

"But what?" The Queen frowned, a hint of impatience in her eyes, "Did something go wrong with what I asked you to do?"

"Princess Feng San...she refuses to take the medicine." The palace maid's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally almost inaudible.

The queen was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "She actually refused?" She slowly stood up, walked to the window of the palace, looked at the dark night sky, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"This woman is indeed more difficult to deal with than I thought." The queen whispered, with a hint of a cold smile on her lips, "However, the more she struggles, the faster she will die."

And in the cold palace, Feng Tangyue's plan has begun to unfold quietly.

"Xiao Shi." She called softly, and the young eunuch immediately stepped forward, lowered his head and waited for instructions.

"Go find Chu Yan, I need his help." Feng Tangyue said coldly.

"Chu Yan?" Xiao Shi was a little surprised. "Your Highness, Chu Yan is a big shot outside the palace. You need his help..."

"That's him." Feng Tangyue's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if she had already made up her mind. "Now, he is our only breakthrough point."

As the night deepened, the storm in the palace became more intense. Feng Tangyue knew that every step forward was crucial and she couldn't make the slightest mistake. The queen had already begun to lay out her plans, and she had to take this opportunity to break the situation.

She slowly closed her eyes, the power of Nirvana in her body quietly flowing, the burning power burning in her blood. She knew that her power was still increasing, and this was her biggest trump card.

"As long as I'm alive, no one can touch me!"

At the same time, on the other side of the palace, Chu Yan was sitting in a quiet courtyard, holding a cup of tea in his hand and a faint smile on his face.

"Feng Tangyue...you are such an interesting woman." He whispered to himself, with a hint of appreciation and calculation in his eyes.

He knew that the struggle Feng Tangyue was about to start was not only for her own survival, but also for regaining control of everything she had lost. And he was the key piece in this chess game.

"It looks like this good show is about to begin."
