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

On the tenth day after Jiang Xuening entered the palace, after she played a game of chess with He Lianxuan, she held the black chess piece and said, "Your Majesty, I have a gracious request."

He Lianxuan glanced at her and said, "Say."

"I want to visit Changle Palace. I heard there are traces of my sister there."

Changle Palace was the most gorgeous palace in the harem, and the emperor often hung out there. But it is also a taboo in the palace, a place where even the queen is forbidden to set foot.

He Lianxuan looked at her face that was too similar to Gu Mingyue and fell into memories, "Let Zhongqiu take you there. She loved you the most when she was alive. She will be very happy to see you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She returned to Weiyang Palace and waited quietly.

Zhongqiu walked in wearing the official uniform exclusively for female officials. He was stunned for a moment when he saw her face, and quickly calmed down, "I have met Miss Jiang. His Majesty asked me to take her to Changle Palace."

I have grown up, and I am growing very well.

Jiang Xuening sighed in her heart, but said calmly on her face, "We have met before, right?"

Zhongqiu nodded, "Yes, I have seen it."

At that time, Gu Mingyue was still Princess Chen. After the two girls met, they quickly started playing together.

The two of them walked side by side to Changle Palace, fearing that the walls might have ears, so they remained silent along the way.

Zhongqiu showed his token and took her into Changle Palace. She was stunned as soon as she entered, as if she had returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.

The layout of the palace, even every plant and tree, is very similar to Prince Chen's Mansion.

After Gu Mingyue's death, Prince Chen's Mansion was burned to ashes by a fire late one night. Fortunately, everything in the house has been emptied.

Jiang Xuening endured her nausea and followed her into the room.

Well, it was exactly the same as her previous room in Prince Chen's Mansion.

There was no fluctuation in her eyes, she just scanned every corner of the room seriously.

"Can I stay here alone for a while?"

Zhongqiu shook his head, "No one can stay here alone except Your Majesty."

Of course, she stood at the door very appropriately and did not come in to disturb Jiang Xuening.

Jiang Xuening walked over and placed an exquisite dice on the dressing table.

If Shen Zhaoyan were here, he would be able to recognize this exquisite dice at a glance, just like the one she opened for him.

Jiang Xuening walked over and picked it up, quickly twisting the exquisite dice with a unique technique without any hesitation.

Take out a thumb-sized, crystal clear iris flower from it, carved from rare ice blue jade.

Zhongqiu opened his eyes wide, but didn't say anything.

She vaguely knew that the queen had been looking for something for these years, but she had never found it.

She had a hunch that what the queen was looking for was the small blue iris in Jiang Xuening's hand.

Jiang Xuening put the things away, quickly restored the exquisite dice and put them back on the dressing table.

She walked out as if nothing had happened and said, "Let's go and burn incense for my sister now."

Zhong Qiu walked beside her and began slowly, "If I remember correctly, the exquisite dice was brought back by the princess from the Western Regions. Because it is special, it has been kept there."

No one has ever doubted that there is a hidden secret in the exquisite dice. Maybe I had doubts, but found nothing.

Jiang Xuening lowered her voice and said, "I asked the female officer to keep what happened just now a secret for me."

Zhongqiu's eyes flashed slightly, "Did something happen just now?"

Everything was said without saying anything. Just because she was Gu Mingyue's cousin, Zhong Qiu naturally helped her unconditionally.

When they arrived at the small Buddhist hall where Princess Chen's tablet was enshrined, Jiang Xuening went in with a complicated mood and offered herself a stick of incense.

She said in her heart: Rest in peace, I'm back.

It took a full six years to set foot in Shengjing again. This city where her bones and those of the Gu family were buried, this time she was going to overturn the imperial power and pay homage to the Gu family.

After offering the incense, Zhongqiu led her deep into the garden.

"You can talk safely here, as few people come here."

Jiang Xuening looked at her and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

She should be a free bird, not trapped in this deep palace as a royal palace.

She taught her martial arts, taught her how to ride a horse, taught her how to survive in troubled times, and raised her as a younger sister. I hope that no matter what, she can live freely.

Zhongqiu smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "The princess died here, how could I leave alone."

Her dream when she was young was to travel across these great rivers and mountains and watch the flowers bloom and fall in the four seasons.

This dream was buried with the death of Princess Chen.

Jiang Xuening said softly, "The princess' spirit in heaven must want you to live a free and passionate life. You should not belong in this deep palace."

"What about you?" Zhongqiu asked, "Why did you return to the capital? Why did you enter the palace?"

She was silent.

Zhongqiu said, "There must be someone who remembers the things she did and the traces of her existence. She once lived in this place and lived a narrow life for the people of Xiling."

"The Gu family is gone, and everything she conquered is gone. So many people died, and she died too."

"Someone has to avenge this great revenge. It would be such a sad thing if not. I want her to know that many people want her to know that she has not paid wrongly in her life!"

Jiang Xuening clenched her fingers and raised her head slightly, trying not to shed tears.

Yes, she has not made any mistakes in her life!

She hated and complained, but she never regretted the things she had done.

The only thing I regret is that I didn't realize He Lianxuan's ambition earlier.

The two were silent for a long time before Zhongqiu spoke, "Now that you have got what you want, leave the palace as soon as possible. It is best to leave Shengjing!"

Her face is too dangerous. Zhongqiu is really afraid that if she is not careful, she will be trapped in the palace and become He Lianxuan's woman.

That was a situation she absolutely didn't want to see.

Jiang Xuening said, "Don't worry, I won't stay here for a long time."

He Lianxuan owed her and the Gu family, and she had to find another way to get him to pay it back.

Zhongqiu breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she would not figure it out and get close to He Lianxuan by becoming his concubine to get revenge.

Having said all that needed to be said, the two of them quickly left Changle Palace without lingering.

As soon as Jiang Xuening went out, Xiao Shujin received the news.

She leaned on the bed with a haggard look, "What do you think?"

Hongxiu whispered, "She is the only person who has anything to do with the Gu family. Could she be looking for that thing?"

Gu Mingyue was famous back then, but he was all dead, even if the public forces were surrounded and suppressed bit by bit.

But there are still secret forces left, and they are not small. This has always been her pet peeve.

She finally got the clues. If she wanted to find the largest force left by Gu Mingyue, she needed to find a token.

Over the years, she had searched all over the place where the token might be hidden, but found nothing. Including Changle Palace, she also sent people to search.

Xiao Shujin said coldly, "She is really lingering."

Even after so many years of death, she still couldn't sleep peacefully.
