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

The next day, Jiang Xuening specially changed into a dignified dress and went to visit Li Mansion with gifts.

Li's Mansion is in the south and is a century-old house full of heritage. The carriage entered the backyard through the side door.

When Jiang Xuening got out of the car, a young woman came over and said, "I have met the princess."

Jiang Xuening temporarily improved the relationship between the Li family last night and gave the young woman a hand, "The fourth young lady is so polite."

The fourth young lady was a talkative and laughing person. She led her to the old lady's yard and talked to her enthusiastically.

The old lady likes to be quiet and lives in the deepest part of the garden. As soon as she entered the house, the fourth young lady said loudly, "Ancestor, I have brought your distinguished guest here."

A maid wearing dark purple patterned clothes opened the curtain and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Young Madam. The old lady is already waiting."

The fourth young lady smiled and said, "Princess, please."

As soon as Jiang Xuening entered, she smelled the scent of sandalwood. There are screens and famous paintings hanging in the room, and it is low-key and full of heritage.

Jiang Xue is a junior. She took the initiative to say hello to the kind-hearted old lady at the main seat with a smile, "Hello, old lady, I am Xuening."

The old lady was wearing home-style clothes with blessing patterns, and her hair was neatly tied up. Although she was old, she could still see some of her youthful charm.

The old lady smiled kindly at her, "I hugged you when you were little, but I didn't expect you to be so big in a blink of an eye."

Jiang Xuening sighed, "Time flies so fast, everything has changed."

The old lady chatted with her a few more times about her daily life, asked her about her current situation, and finally got to the point.

"What do you think about your marriage to Xiao Ci."

A worried look appeared on Jiang Xuening's face, and she said hesitantly, "In my case, it's not very good for the Xuan family to marry me."

The old lady's eyes were shining, and she could see through her thoughts at a glance, "You grew up homeless, so it is normal for you to not trust the Duke of Xuan."

Jiang Xuening lowered her head slightly and made no excuses.

The old lady said gently, "I don't care about you young people's affairs. I saw you here today because of other matters."

After the old lady said this, she fell into silence and said nothing.

Jiang Xuening glanced at her and took the initiative to speak, "Is it because of my mother's affairs?"

The old lady's expression changed slightly, "You are indeed a smart child. How much do you know?"

Jiang Xuening said calmly, "Why did the Empress Dowager issue a secret order to kill my mother?"

With a look from the old lady, they were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

In Jiang Xuening's expectant eyes, the old lady shook her head, "I don't know the real reason."

Jiang Xuening couldn't help but look disappointed.

The old lady spoke slowly, "But something did happen back then, and the people involved in it have kept silent until now."

As the old lady narrated, the events of that year slowly emerged.

Back then, when the Empress Dowager was still the Empress and the late Emperor was still the Crown Prince, the legitimate daughters of the Li family, the Xuan family, the Qin family and the Gu family, representing the four major clans with different powers, ostensibly went to the palace to talk to the queen, but in fact they chose the crown prince.

The crown prince and his concubine must come from among the four.

The four of them moved into Qinyuan, and no one knew what happened. Half a month later, the daughter of the Xuan family drowned in the lotus pond. The daughter of the Li family had a high fever and was completely stupid when she woke up. The daughter of the Qin family became the princess, and only Gu Yuchan survived.

The daughter of the four major families was killed and stupid. This incident was suppressed by the royal family.

The old lady recalled, "After your mother left the palace, she quickly married your father and rarely returned to Beijing. No one knows what happened in those half a month."

Her legitimate daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Li family who lost her mind. Over the years, the Li family hired countless famous doctors, but she was never cured.

"Your mother and the eldest daughter of Duke Xuan's family at that time were handkerchiefs who grew up together. They were both known as the twins of the imperial capital back then." The old lady sighed, "Maybe the Xuan family knew what happened back then."

Only Gu Yuchan survived the accident. The Li family represented Jiangnan forces and was at a disadvantage in Beijing.

Duke Xuan's family is an old family with many connections in Shengjing. It is impossible that they really don't know any news.

However, as the prince ascended the throne and became emperor, the four major families involved in the matter all kept silent on the matter.

Jiang Xuening felt hard to distinguish. She suddenly remembered that Gu Yuchan had warned her not to have anything to do with the royal family. Unfortunately, she still fell into the web that He Lianxuan made for him.

Time has passed and the prince has become the emperor. Now he has become the late emperor and has passed away.

Only the queen became the queen mother, and after He Lianxuan ascended the throne, she became the empress dowager. She was the only one who knew everything clearly.

Jiang Xuening's mood became even heavier, "After such a long time, it is difficult to find out the truth."

The old lady whispered, "I'm telling you this not to ask you to investigate, but to remind you not to touch this matter easily. It will make the Gu family and the Duke Xuan's mansion shut up and remain silent at the same time. The secret of this is , definitely not simple.”

Jiang Xuening accepted the sentiment and said, "Don't worry, I won't mess around."

The old lady nodded, "Based on the friendship between your mother and the eldest daughter of the Xuan family, the Duke of Xuan will not treat you wrong."

The old lady once again stood from the perspective of an elder and taught her many things. Jiang Xuening listened carefully.

She could feel the old lady's kindness and good intentions towards her.

The old lady stayed with her to eat again. It was getting late, so Jiang Xuening stood up and said goodbye, "Thank you, old lady, for your teaching today. I have benefited a lot."

"A good child should live well, and living is the most important thing no matter when."

When Jiang Xuening walked to the door, the old lady suddenly stopped her and said, "If the princess knows the truth in the future, I hope the princess will tell me."

Jiang Xuening nodded solemnly, "I will definitely do it."

She understood the old lady's ambivalence very well, and reminded her not to touch this matter lightly, out of love and kindness for the younger generation.

But as a mother, she could only keep silent after she had raised her pampered daughter to be ruined in the palace. After all, she was unwilling to do so and wanted the truth.

Jiang Xuening came to Li's house and left with more confusion and doubts.

Some things may only be answered when Sheng Jing is in the palace.

"The Empress Dowager..." Jiang Xuening silently recited these four words on the tip of her tongue, feeling confused in her heart.

What kind of secret was it that made the master of the harem wait for an opportunity after so many years and immediately issue a secret order to kill Gu Yuechan?

On the carriage, Jiang Xuening said, "I'm looking forward to going to Beijing more and more..."

Sooner or later, she will uncover everything and expose the most disgusting and dirty side of the royal family to the world.
