After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Because they were flying the flag of Qingzhou Palace and being escorted by a fleet, the journey was basically smooth.

It takes about a month to travel from Qingzhou to Jiangnan by water. At the beginning, everyone was in high spirits, but after more than ten days, everyone felt sleepy. The days of sailing were too boring.

Jiang Xuening was breathing some air at the bow of the boat, while Qinghe was embroidering on the side.

Shangguan Wan brought out the chessboard and said with a smile, "Let's play a game."

"Okay, it's boring anyway." Jiang Xuening picked up a sunspot.

At the end of three games, it was already dark.

Jiang Xuening stood up and stretched her body, "It's so boring on the boat. Playing chess is a good way to kill time."

Shangguan Wanzheng took back the chess pieces one by one. She said without raising her head after hearing this, "If the princess likes it, I will continue to play with you tomorrow."

"Okay."

For three consecutive days, Shangguanwan would play chess with her in the afternoon. The two of them were matched in chess, and each had their own outcome.

Today, the sun is just right.

The two of them were playing chess near the window, and Bingtong was playing the piano.

At the end of the game, Jiang Xuening said with a smile, "Wan'er, it's time for the game to end."

Shangguan Wan's eyes widened, the chess piece slipped from his fingertips, and he fainted on his seat.

Bingtong stopped playing the piano, "It's easier than I thought."

Jiang Xuening held her chin and said, "Actually, I never understood why Xiao Shujin sent her here. She is just a female official far away from the emperor. As long as I think of it, I can find a way to kill her."

The reason why he indulges her until now is because she did spend half of his life blocking the knife for her. Also because he didn't want to alert the enemy. If she died, Xiao Shujin might send someone else, so it was better to keep her.

Jiang Xuening said to Qinghe, "Bring the person over."

Qinghe took Mrs. Jiang and helped Shangguan Wan away.

Jiang Xuening sat by the window, eating pears in small pieces. After the last piece of pear was eaten, the door to the room was pushed open.

Wu Jin personally escorted Dongmai in and threw her to the ground.

Jiang Xuening wiped her hands and walked over, looking at her condescendingly, "You belong to the queen, right?"

Dongmai was seriously injured and her clothes were stained red with blood. She glared at Jiang Xuening hatefully, "You know I am the Queen's wife, but you still dare to touch me."

Jiang Xuening chuckled, "The Queen is amazing, what I killed was the Queen's people."

Dongmai was frozen by her eyes that seemed to have been tempered by ice, and finally lowered her head and fell silent.

Jiang Xuening said to Bingtong, "Leave it to you."

Bing Tong nodded, "Don't worry."

She is good at illusions, and when supplemented with drugs, she is a perfect match for interrogation, and can dig out the deepest secrets in people's hearts.

Dongmai was pulled down, and Qinghe directed people to clean up the blood on the ground.

Jiang Xuening went back to the room to take a nap, and then went to the bow of the boat to bask in the sun for a while.

When it got dark, I went to see Shangguan Wan.

Shangguan Wan was locked in a small dark room and tied to a chair. She had already woken up.

Jiang Xuening walked over and sat down opposite her, and asked in a gentle tone, "Are you okay?"

Shangguan Wan smiled bitterly, "The princess has indeed known for a long time. I lost this round."

Jiang Xuening sat down and looked at her carefully, "In the past three years, you have had countless opportunities but you have never made a move. I don't know whether it is because you are too tolerant, or because Wan'er is reluctant to let me die."

Shangguan Wan looked at her with a pale face and said sincerely, "I told you everything. Do you believe it or not, Princess?"

Jiang Xuening changed her position and leaned lazily on the chair, "Of course I believe it. After all, Wan'er is an interesting person."

It's a pity that such a woman is pushed out as a chess piece for the Queen's use.

Shangguan Wan asked, "Where is the winter wheat?"

"I've been caught, don't worry."

Shangguan Wan slowly exhaled and turned his head to look outside through the small window.

It was already dark outside and nothing could be seen. The woman in front of her smiled as brightly as a flower.

Shangguan Wan thought, there is nothing wrong with dying with such a smile.

She said calmly, "Since the princess took advantage of me and caught me, I hope that for the sake of our friendship over the past three years, the princess will give me a happy life."

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows, "Do you want to die so much?"

Shangguan Wan accepted his fate and said, "From the moment I stepped into Qingzhou, either the princess died or I died. Everything was already doomed."

The only surprise was that Jiang Xuening was very different from what she thought, so at this moment, she actually felt that her death was the best ending.

Jiang Xuening stood up and approached her step by step.

"You were born into a Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family has been officials for generations. Your father was a minister of the Ministry of Rites. However, from such a family, you became an abandoned son of the queen. There must be some unknown secret."

"Hahahaha, the princess sees things very clearly. She guessed so many things just based on my family background."

Shangguan Wanxiao's eyes were red, but he had no intention of explaining, "It is better for me to die in the hands of the princess than to die in dirty Shengjing."

When she came, she was prepared to die. The past three years have been stolen from her.

Jiang Xuening reached out and pinched her chin, "Why do you want to die so much? If you die, you will have nothing."

Shangguan Wan smiled miserably, "Living is a kind of torture for me. I don't want to be a pawn in the hands of the Shangguan family for the rest of my life."

Take the female officer exam and use all means to climb up. Being stepped on and stepped on by others, in the end, I was one step away from that position, but I still couldn't escape the fate of being taken advantage of.

Jiang Xuening said in a bewitching voice, "If you don't want to be a chess piece in the Shangguan family's hands, how about being a chess piece in my hands? I feel like Wan'er doesn't hate me..."

"No, I'm too tired from living..."

"Actually, I didn't want to attack the princess at all. I always wanted the princess to attack me." Shangguan Wan murmured.

A few days before she left Qingzhou, she received a secret letter from Sheng Jing. After reading it, she blew the cold wind by the window all night.

Because she was afraid that Maidong would notice something was wrong, she didn't even dare to cry wantonly, she only dared to cry silently.

That letter helped her make the decision to die.

Jiang Xuening stared at her, "What made you lose your will to live and just want to die?"

There was probably a hint of tenderness in Jiang Xuening's eyes. After Shangguan Wan was silent for a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "My mother is dead, and everyone is hiding it from me because they are afraid that I will be disobedient."

It was obvious that her mother was the wife of the minister whom the matchmaker was marrying, but she died silently and painfully in a side courtyard without even a decent funeral. She was directly sent back to the countryside and buried casually.

The moment she received the letter, her heart died. All her efforts over the years have become meaningless.

She climbed up like that desperately just to break away from the Shangguan family, hoping to bring her mother out one day.

Unfortunately, the world was too harsh on women after all, and she eventually embarked on her destined path and became an outcast under the imperial power.

Jiang Xuening said, "Your condolences."
