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

Chapter 112 White banners filled the city to welcome the general’s return

Jiang Xuening returned to Jiang Mansion in a daze, followed Qin Weiyun numbly, and said hello to the elders of Jiang Mansion.

The Jiang Mansion had originally prepared a lively reception banquet for them to celebrate as a family.

As soon as the news from the northwest came in, Mr. Shen went directly to the palace, and the eldest lady also put on plain and elegant clothes and went to the Xuanguo Duke's mansion.

The two families were officials in the same dynasty. If such a big thing happened, the reception banquet could not be held no matter what.

Mrs. Jiang sighed, "In these troubled times, Crown Prince Xuan died for the country. It is not easy for us to celebrate. We have wronged you this time."

Qin Weiyun said immediately, "Don't feel wronged, my wife understands the truth."

Jiang Xuening attracted the attention of everyone in the Jiang family as soon as she entered, but she had a gorgeous face and an expression as cold as ice in winter, which made people afraid to approach her.

Of course, the old lady had met the former "Gu Mingyue". When she saw her face, she didn't show any abnormality. She just asked with concern, "Why is Xiaoqi's face so ugly? Is she sick?"

Jiang Xuening forced out a smile, "Maybe she caught a cold."

Jiang Xufeng glanced at her and took the initiative to help her out, "Seventh sister must be frightened. I'll send her back to the yard."

Jiang Xufeng gave him a gentle look, and Jiang Xuening lowered her head and followed him.

She really didn't want to listen to a group of people talking, nor did she want to chat with them.

The yard where she lived had been tidied up a long time ago. After Jiang Xufeng sent her there, he beat the servant and left quickly.

Caiyue and Qinghe quickly figured out the situation in the yard and arranged everything properly.

Jiang Xuening started to have a fever that night, which shocked everyone in the house.

"I hurt you..."

She repeated this sentence over and over again, making Caiyue Qinghe extremely sad.

The two of them repeatedly put a wet handkerchief on her forehead and wiped her palms with white wine. When the heat finally subsided at dawn, she stopped talking nonsense.

The disease came so violently that Jiang Xuening felt miserable.

Fortunately, the boys of the Jiang family were busy at court, and the women were busy with their own affairs, so almost no one paid attention to her.

Qing He said superstitiously, "Princess, you must have been frightened that day. You asked me to burn paper on the road at night to summon your soul."

This was a traditional folk shock method. Caiyue glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I wasn't scared." Jiang Xuening coughed, "Remember to tell me when Crown Prince Xuan's coffin comes to Beijing."

Jiang Xuening had not been so weak and decadent for a long time, and Xuan Lin's death stimulated the emotions she had suppressed in her heart.

As soon as she closes her eyes, her mind is filled with blood, the blood of her relatives, the blood of her friends, the blood of her subordinates...

Her body was overwhelmed by the hatred in her heart, and her turbulent emotions exploded instantly.

For a whole month, Jiang Xuening locked herself in the study and copied scriptures every day. The peaceful Jiang family almost forgot that she existed.

After she finished copying the third volume of scriptures, Qinghe walked in quietly and said, "Princess, Prince Xuan's coffin will enter the city tomorrow."

Jiang Xuening's pen was instantly exhausted, "Get ready for mourning and go to welcome the general back to the city tomorrow."

Qinghe said cautiously, "Princess, your body is not fully recovered yet."

Jiang Xuening's expression was frighteningly cold, "I'm fine."

Qinghe didn't dare to persuade her any more and went to prepare mourning clothes for her as instructed.

The next day, Jiang Xuening woke up early, dressed in white mourning clothes, and her whole body was extremely cold.

Caiyue walked in and said, "The eldest lady asked the princess why you wanted to go out. She said that there was chaos outside, so the princess had better not go out."

Jiang Xuening had no patience to argue with the people in Jiang Mansion, so she stood up directly and said, "Let's go."

She led the people straight to the gate, and the eldest lady also received the news.

Thinking of her reputation, I was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble at this sensitive moment, so I hurriedly led someone to stop her.

The concierge had obviously been specifically told to stop him, "Madam has told me that I cannot leave the house at will without her consent."

Jiang Xuening's face was as cold as ice, "No one in this mansion is qualified to stop this princess!"

The eldest lady who came in a hurry happened to hear these words and was instantly stopped in place.

Caiyue pulled Jiang Xuening's sleeve and said, "The eldest lady is here."

Jiang Xuening looked back with frosty eyes, but she restrained her actions and saluted the eldest lady, "Excuse me, eldest lady, why can't I go out? When this princess was in the Qingzhou Palace, she was always free to come and go. Do the Jiang family have any special rules?"

Those words that contained a gun and a stick instantly put the eldest lady out of control.

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted herself, "Don't worry too much. It's because things in the northwest are in chaos outside, so the access control in the mansion is very strict recently."

Jiang Xuening said "Oh" and asked with a smile that could freeze anyone to death, "I want to go out, is that okay?"

Of course the eldest lady wanted to say no, but when she looked at her, she didn't dare to be so forceful.

The eldest lady smiled stiffly and said, "Prince Xuan's coffin will return to Beijing today. There are many people on the street. The princess might as well go out some other time."

Jiang Xuening's eyes flashed slightly, "I am also going to welcome the prince's coffin into the city."

The eldest lady wanted to tell her not to join in the fun, but she suddenly realized something, hesitated and quickly changed her words, "Someone will prepare a carriage for the princess. The princess will leave early and come back early."

Jiang Xuening didn't bother to explore why she changed her tune so quickly. As soon as the carriage arrived, he got on the carriage and left.

When the carriage was approaching the city gate, the coachman said, "There are too many people in the princess, and the carriage cannot pass."

Jiang Xuening simply got off the carriage and looked at the city full of banners. Many of the people standing along the road were wearing white mourning clothes.

Jiang Xuening's eyes were a little hot. He didn't leave in a deserted manner. Someone remembered his military exploits.

Wu Jin and Yun Ni protected her as she walked inside. There were too many people. Que Ling cleverly got into the teahouse and spent money to get a room.

Que Ling supported Jiang Xuening, "Let's go up."

There was an official lady in the room. Que Ling gave it a try and said that her lady was not feeling well, so she agreed to share the room.

Jiang Xuening lost a lot of weight and her face turned pale without a trace of blood. It looked like her situation was indeed not good.

She smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Li Qi said gently, "You can sit down wherever you want, you're welcome."

Jiang Xuening sat down near the window, and soon the sound of suona came from the city gate.

The crowd started to make noise. Jiang Xue stared out and saw a piece of white. Amidst the sad music, the coffin slowly approached.

Xuanci walked in front of the coffin dejectedly holding the spiritual tablet, and no longer looked like the playboy he once was.

The common people scattered paper money on the roadside. Li Qi also stood by the window and scattered the paper money in the basket. "Have a good trip, little general."

In the sky full of paper money, Xue Ning closed her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

The young man who came here in high spirits finally died in such a tragic way.

There are no bones left, and what comes back with the coffin is just a tomb.
