Nirvana Phoenix Song

Feng Tangyue stood in the small courtyard of the cold palace, the night wind fluttering her sleeves, bringing a little chill. The imperial palace in the distance was brightly lit and luxurious, but in her eyes it was a huge cage full of conspiracy and betrayal.

She narrowed her eyes, sneered in her heart, and secretly thought about her next move. Now that the queen had taken action against her, it showed that the threat she posed in the palace was far beyond imagination. The abandoned third princess? No, the queen must know that she was no longer the "waste" that was bullied by others.

"They are speeding up their actions. It seems they can't wait any longer." Feng Tangyue murmured to herself, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. She knew long ago that the queen would not give her a chance to breathe. This power struggle has just begun.

While she was thinking, Xiao Shi quietly came over from the dark and whispered, "Your Highness, the news just came - the Queen has begun to mobilize her forces, and she seems to be ready to completely control the government."

Feng Tangyue was not surprised and nodded slightly: "She took advantage of the Queen Mother's serious illness to attack. This move can be regarded as cruel. But...she may have forgotten that although the Queen Mother is seriously ill, she is not completely useless."

"Your Highness means..." Xiaoshi looked at her in confusion.

Feng Tangyue raised the corner of her mouth, her smile carrying a hint of disdain: "Since she wants to use the Queen Mother, why don't I do the opposite?"

Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Your Highness, you are planning to..."

"Yes, I'm going to see the Queen Mother." Feng Tangyue said firmly, with a cunning light in her eyes. She had expected that this struggle would not be just a simple harem infighting, and the power of the Queen Mother was the key to breaking the current situation.

"But, Your Highness, if we go to see the Queen Mother at this time, will it be..." Xiao Shi was obviously a little worried. After all, the Queen Mother was in poor health, and the Queen's spies were everywhere. Any rash action might lead to even more difficult consequences.

Feng Tangyue waved her hand and smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, she will meet me. She knows better than anyone that if I fall, the queen will be able to easily control the entire palace. By then, the queen mother will be nothing more than a pawn in the hands of the queen."

Xiaoshi nodded and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Feng Tangyue stood there with a cold look in her eyes. She knew that if she wanted to survive, she couldn't just rely on the power of Nirvana. The real victory still depended on brains and tactics. She looked up at the night sky, and there was a faint flash of lightning in the dark clouds.

"A big storm is coming soon."

The next day, Feng Tangyue wore a plain cloak and quietly left the cold palace, heading straight for the Queen Mother's bedroom. She didn't want to attract attention. After all, every step in the palace was like walking on a knife's edge, and the slightest mistake would lead to eternal damnation.

When she arrived at the door of the Queen Mother's palace, several guards stopped her. Feng Tangyue looked at them coldly, her voice as cold as a knife: "Get out of the way."

Several guards looked at each other, and one of them said tentatively: "Third Princess, the Queen Mother is not in a position to see guests right now..."

Feng Tangyue interrupted him, her tone leaving no room for negotiation: "I'm here to see her, not as a guest. Let her know that I have news she wants to hear."

The guard was a little embarrassed, but seeing Feng Tangyue's momentum, he finally let her in.

The Queen Mother's bedroom was dimly lit, and the air was filled with the scent of herbs. The Queen Mother lay on the bed, looking haggard, as if she would collapse at any moment.

"Feng Tangyue, what are you doing here?" The Queen Mother's hoarse voice rang out in the empty palace, carrying with it endless fatigue.

Feng Tangyue walked up to her with neither servility nor arrogance, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "Empress Dowager, do you really think the Queen will let you live safely? Once I fall, you will be the next target."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly when she heard this, with a hint of vigilance and suspicion in her eyes: "What do you mean?"

"The Queen has already taken action. She wants to control the government." Feng Tangyue said calmly, with a bit of disdain, "She still needs you to stand in front of her now, but once the time is right, do you think she will keep you?"

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, her face turning even paler. She knew that the Queen had always coveted the power of the government, but she didn't expect that the Queen was so anxious and had already started to act.

Feng Tangyue continued, "Your Highness, you should understand that now in the entire palace, except for me, no one can help you fight against the Queen."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly. Although she was old, she was still unconvinced: "You? You are a useless Third Princess. What right do you have to fight her?"

Feng Tangyue's eyes darkened slightly, and she smiled confidently, "Because I am no longer the Feng Tangyue of the past." She moved closer to the Queen Mother and lowered her voice, "My life will not be taken away by her so easily, and I... have many ways to prevent her from making any trouble in this palace."

The Queen Mother looked at the "useless princess" who had just walked out of the cold palace and began to waver. She thought Feng Tangyue was just an abandoned pawn, but she didn't expect that she had such a strong confidence.

Feng Tangyue continued to raise the stakes: "Empress Dowager, instead of waiting to die, you might as well cooperate with me. As long as you give me enough support, I can help you keep your position in the palace, and even completely eliminate the queen!"

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll give you a chance, but you also remember, if you fail, no one can save you."

Feng Tangyue's lips curled up into a smile, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes: "Then please wait and see, Your Majesty."

After leaving the Queen Mother's palace, Feng Tangyue was still in a state of anxiety. She knew that the Queen Mother's agreement to cooperate with her was only a temporary measure, and that if the situation became unfavorable, she would switch to the Queen's camp at any time. But she was not afraid, because the trump card in her hand was enough to make the Queen anxious.

When she returned to the cold palace, Xiaoshi was already waiting for her.

"Your Highness, has the Queen Mother agreed?" Xiao Shi asked impatiently.

Feng Tangyue nodded and said calmly: "I agree. But this is just the beginning. It depends on how we plan next."

Xiao Shi was a little worried: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother may not be reliable. What if she suddenly changes sides..."

"She won't." Feng Tangyue interrupted him, her eyes as firm as iron, "The Queen Mother is now like me, she can only fight with her back against the wall, she has no way out."

Xiaoshi nodded and asked no more questions.

Feng Tangyue stood at the door of the cold palace, looking at the sky gradually darkening in the distance, and swore secretly in her heart: I must win this fight!
