Chapter 63 The Calm After the Storm
Chapter 63 The Calm After the Storm
Feng Tangyue and Mo Chenzhao walked out of Ziwei Pavilion. Outside was the endless night and the cool breeze, as if everything had returned to peace. However, they knew in their hearts that this storm was only a temporary lull, and the real danger was still lurking in the dark.
"The core of the star has been sealed temporarily, but its power will awaken again sooner or later." Feng Tangyue's eyes were deep. She knew that she could not suppress this ancient power for long.
"We stopped the Master of Ziwei Pavilion, but there are still many unknown enemies eyeing us covetously." Mo Chenzhao said in a deep voice, slowly lowering his tightly grasped sword. "Although the power of Ziwei Pavilion has collapsed, the remnants of Mingfeng and other people who are secretly spying on us will definitely not let go of this opportunity."
Feng Tangyue nodded slightly, her eyes still alert: "We can't let our guard down. Although the remnants of the Queen and the Mingfeng Organization have been weakened now, their power is deeply rooted, far more than what we have seen."
Mo Chenzhao's face was solemn: "What should we do next? Continue to look for those hidden enemies, or directly disclose the existence of the 'Star Core' to attract them to show up?"
Feng Tangyue frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation. She knew that the power of the "Star Core" must not be easily known to anyone. Once it was made public, the situation in the entire Feng Kingdom and even the continent would become even more chaotic.
"No, the matter of the 'Star Core' cannot be made public for the time being. Even if it is sealed, it is still a huge hidden danger. Anyone who covets it may cause a greater disaster." Feng Tangyue spoke slowly, with a hint of firmness in her tone.
Mo Chenzhao nodded: "Then our top priority now is to consolidate the situation and prevent the enemy from counterattacking."
Feng Tangyue sighed softly: "Yes, but it's not easy. After the Queen's death, the power struggle inside and outside the palace will not end. Although the Queen Mother is safe for the time being, there are still many hidden dangers in the palace."
"In this case, we must proceed step by step." Mo Chenzhao analyzed calmly, "First, we must consolidate the Queen Mother's power and ensure that she will not be threatened again. Then we can secretly deal with Mingfeng and those lurking forces."
Feng Tangyue nodded gently: "You are right. The situation is complicated, we must proceed step by step."
The two quickly returned to the palace. The Queen Mother's condition had improved greatly, but she was still weak. The Queen Mother sat on the bed with a hint of gratitude and fatigue in her eyes: "Tang Yue, you are back."
"Empress Dowager, your health has stabilized, but we can't let our guard down. The remnants of the Queen and Ming Feng are still lurking and may make a comeback at any time." Feng Tangyue walked up to the Empress Dowager, her tone soft with a hint of caution.
The Queen Mother sighed softly: "I also know that there are undercurrents in this palace, but I really don't have much energy to deal with these things now."
Feng Tangyue looked at the Queen Mother's exhausted expression and felt a little heavy in her heart. She knew that the Queen Mother had just experienced poisoning and a life-and-death crisis, and her body and mind were under tremendous pressure. The situation in the palace was precarious, and she had to stabilize the situation before the Queen Mother recovered completely.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will do my best to protect you and the stability of Feng Kingdom." Feng Tangyue said firmly.
"Tangyue, I have never doubted you." The Queen Mother smiled slightly, with a hint of trust in her eyes.
With the joint efforts of Feng Tangyue and Mo Chenzhao, the situation in the palace was gradually brought under control. The forces that supported the queen gradually collapsed after the queen's death, and the queen mother's power was re-consolidated. The ministers also began to turn to support Feng Tangyue, and stability in the palace seemed to be gradually restored.
But Feng Tangyue never relaxed her vigilance. She knew that the enemies in the dark were still preparing to make a move, waiting for a new opportunity. Especially the Mingfeng Organization, their power was far more complicated than what appeared on the surface.
Late one night, Feng Tangyue was sitting in the courtyard outside the cold palace, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Mo Chenzhao walked up to her quietly and handed her a cup of hot tea.
"You look tired." Mo Chenzhao said softly.
Feng Tangyue took the teacup and took a sip. The warm tea made her relax a little: "There have been too many things going on these days, and many unsolved mysteries still bother me."
"Although the seal of the star core was successful, I always feel that it will not be so quiet." Feng Tangyue's voice was filled with a hint of worry. "Although the master of Ziwei Pavilion is dead, the power behind him seems to have a greater secret that has not been revealed."
Mo Chenzhao nodded: "Are you saying that there is an even more powerful being behind the Master of Ziwei Pavilion?"
Feng Tangyue took a deep breath and said, "Yes. We still haven't figured out what the real power behind the Mingfeng Organization is. Moreover, I have a feeling that the seal of the 'Star Core' is only temporary, and one day it will awaken again."
"Then what should we do?" Mo Chenzhao frowned.
Feng Tangyue was silent for a moment, and her eyes gradually became firm: "We can't just sit there and wait to be beaten. I want to find out the true origin of the 'Star Core' and the connection between it and Mingfeng. Only in this way can we completely cut off their power."
Mo Chenzhao nodded silently: "No matter what, I will face it with you."
Feng Tangyue smiled slightly, feeling a little more comforted: "As long as you are here, I will not back down."
Although the palace has temporarily returned to peace, Feng Tangyue knows that the real storm is still brewing. She must quickly uncover all the secrets behind the "Star Core" to usher in true peace for the Feng Kingdom.
