Nirvana Phoenix Song
Chapter 40: Turbulence in the Palace
Since Feng Tangyue officially returned to the court, the situation in the court has changed rapidly. She has just obtained the status of the successor of the power of Nirvana and the position of strategic advisor, but it has also attracted countless undercurrents. Inside and outside the palace, whether enemies or friends, everyone is watching and waiting for her next move.
In the palace at night, candlelight flickered, Feng Tangyue sat alone at the desk, flipping through the intelligence in her hands. She learned that the tentacles of the Mingfeng organization had penetrated deep into the imperial city, and there were even rumors that they had secretly colluded with some court officials. She knew that if she didn't uncover this conspiracy as soon as possible, she and the power of Nirvana would be in great danger.
"Your Highness." Xiao Shi gently pushed the door open and walked in, holding an urgent report in his hand, "This is the news just sent from the secret sentry."
Feng Tangyue took the urgent report, started reading, and frowned slightly.
"Has the Mingfeng organization had contact with Zuo Xiang?" she asked coldly, her eyes turning icy in an instant.
"Yes, Zuo Xiang has been in frequent contact with some mysterious figures recently and has secretly mobilized a number of people with special abilities. It seems that their target may be you." Xiao Shi said in a low voice, with uneasiness in his eyes.
Feng Tangyue gently closed the scroll in her hand, her eyes sharp. Zuo Xiang, this powerful minister in the court, had coveted power for a long time, and Ming Feng's joining was obviously a joint plan against her.
"The Left Prime Minister has been secretly instigating forces in the court. His cooperation with Mingfeng is no accident. They want to seize the power of Nirvana by attacking me, and may even directly seize the throne." Feng Tangyue analyzed calmly.
Xiao Shi nodded, with anxiety in his eyes, "Your Highness, the current situation is very unfavorable to you. The left prime minister has great power in the court. If he really colludes with Ming Feng, I am afraid it will cause a huge storm."
Feng Tangyue pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "They are indeed planning a coup in the palace, but we can't just sit there and wait for death. I need to find evidence, expose their conspiracy, and arrange countermeasures in advance."
Xiao Shi was slightly stunned. "But, Your Highness, the Left Prime Minister now controls a lot of resources in the court. It may be very difficult to obtain evidence from him."
Feng Tangyue smiled slightly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Nothing is impossible. The more secretive he is, the more loopholes he will leave. We must start from the side and find the key contact point between him and Mingfeng."
She picked up the map on the table and carefully checked the residence of the left prime minister and some suspicious places. "I have sent people to keep an eye on the residence of the left prime minister and several places he often visits. As long as they take action, we can find a breakthrough."
Xiao Shi nodded, "I understand, Your Highness. I will arrange for secret sentries to continue to keep a close eye on the left prime minister's every move."
Feng Tangyue took a deep breath and looked towards the direction of the palace. She knew that the left prime minister's plan was not only to seize the power of Nirvana, but also to control the entire Feng Kingdom through a palace coup. And she was the core of this game.

The next day, the court was calm, and the emperor was discussing state affairs with several important ministers. However, Feng Tangyue knew that this superficial calm was just the calm before the storm. Although the left prime minister did not reveal any flaws, his every move was full of conspiracy.
"Princess Feng San, I heard that you have been dealing with the border rebellion recently. I wonder if there has been any progress?" The voice of the Left Prime Minister came from the hall with a hint of understatement.
Feng Tangyue raised her head and looked coldly at the Left Prime Minister, "Lord Zuo Xiang seems to be very concerned about the border affairs. Although the border rebellion has been temporarily quelled, the intervention of the Mingfeng Organization has become a threat that we cannot ignore."
The left prime minister smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible contempt in his tone, "Mingfeng Organization? Is the Third Princess too worried? Can a small organization threaten the safety of Feng Country?"
Feng Tangyue narrowed her eyes, not hiding her hostility, "Does the Left Prime Minister seem to know a lot about Mingfeng? It seems that this 'small organization' is not as simple as the Left Prime Minister said."
The ministers in the court were all puzzled when they heard this. It was obvious that they were not aware of this potential crisis. The emperor frowned slightly and glanced back and forth between Feng Tangyue and the left prime minister.
"Left Prime Minister, Ming Feng's threat can no longer be ignored, and Tang Yue's concerns are not unfounded." The emperor said with authority in his tone.
The left prime minister still kept smiling and bowed gently, "Your Majesty is right. I am just reminding the third princess that she needs to be cautious when dealing with state affairs."
Feng Tangyue smiled coldly and did not continue to argue with the left prime minister. She knew that the left prime minister's calm appearance was just a cover for his deeper ambitions. But in this court, if she wanted to confront the left prime minister head-on, she would need more evidence and support.
-
That night, Feng Tangyue took Xiao Shi and sneaked into the vicinity of Zuo Xiang's residence, preparing to personally investigate for evidence of Zuo Xiang's collusion with Ming Feng.
The night was dark, and the guards outside the left prime minister's mansion were tight, but Feng Tangyue easily avoided all the guards with the powerful perception of the power of Nirvana. She and Xiaoshi quietly entered the depths of the mansion.
"Your Highness, the left prime minister's study is in front." Xiao Shi said in a low voice, pointing to a dimly lit room not far away.
Feng Tangyue nodded and took Xiaoshi closer to the study. Through the half-open window, she could see several figures in the study talking in low voices.
"...Everything is going according to plan. We have already placed a group of important psychics in the imperial city." One of them spoke in a low, somewhat cold voice.
"Very good. As long as we control these people with special powers, the next action will be smoother." The other person's voice sounded more experienced. It was Zuo Xiang.
Feng Tangyue's heart sank. As she expected, Zuo Xiang and the Mingfeng organization had been secretly colluding. Their plan was not only to seize the power of Nirvana, but they might have even infiltrated the imperial city.
"Left Prime Minister, when will the support from the Mingfeng Organization arrive?" The deep voice sounded again, and it was obvious that there were more conspiracies that had not been uncovered.
The left prime minister said solemnly: "Their people have already started to act. Next, we just need to wait for the right time to launch a complete coup."
Feng Tangyue clenched her fists when she heard this. She knew that she had to bring this information back as soon as possible, inform her father, and expose the left prime minister's conspiracy.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Xiao Shi asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety on his face.
Feng Tangyue took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and whispered: "Now is not the time to take action, let's go back first. The left prime minister's conspiracy must be exposed in the court before he can be completely disintegrated."
The two quickly evacuated the Zuo Xiang's residence and quietly returned to the palace under the cover of night. Feng Tangyue had made up her mind that the Zuo Xiang's plan must not succeed, and she would be the key to stopping it all.
"The conspiracy in the court is gradually emerging, but this struggle has just begun."
