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

Jiang Xue Ning limped out of the palace gate and saw a carriage in the distance. The man in front of the carriage had black hair and white clothes, and was as cold as frost in an autumn night.

He held a glass lamp in his hand, lighting up the entire autumn night. He walked towards her with fluttering sleeves and smiled at her, "I'm waiting for you."

"I know."

She held the hand that was extended to her. It was as cold as ever, but it made her feel extremely at ease.

Shen Zhaoyan helped her into the carriage and poured her a cup of steaming hot tea.

After she drank it, she felt warm all over and finally came back to life.

"anything else?"

She shook her head and looked at the person in front of her without blinking, always feeling that fate was a wonderful thing.

When she was Gu Mingyue, he was a beautiful and sickly young prince. She saved him once, and he awkwardly gave her a rabbit lamp.

When she first became Jiang Xue Ning, they were at loggerheads at the mass grave. Later, they each had their own plans and fought along the way.

Now, he carries a lantern to take him home in the long night.

Shen Zhaoyan raised his thin lips slightly, "What are you looking at?"

"You look so beautiful and seductive."

"Well, you can watch it every day from now on."

Jiang Xue Ning averted her eyes, lifted the car curtain and looked out. The moon outside was as cold as frost, and the cold moonlight filled the entire long night, not making people feel that the night was dark.

Shen Zhaoyan whispered, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering what to do with you..."

She really didn't know what to do. She might feel moved occasionally, but getting married was still too far away for her.

The road ahead for her is destined to be full of thorns. She doesn't want to drag him down. Revenge is a road she needs to walk alone.

Abandoning... and running away, seems a bit heartless.

Jiang Xue Ning looked at him hesitantly, thinking about the possibility of running away.

Shen Zhaoyan immediately noticed something wrong in her eyes and said viciously, "You don't want to deny it and run away."

"Ahem, I'm just not mentally prepared yet."

Shen Zhaoyan ran his fingers across her face and smiled gently, "I bought this marriage with the Shen family's military token. If you dare to run, the ancestors of the Shen family will jump out of their coffins."

"You..." Jiang Xue Ning took a breath, "I'm not worthy."

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Shen family army have been guarding this land for generations, risking their lives on the battlefield. They are the truly great people.

Shen Zhaoyan held his wrist, with a hint of bitterness between his eyebrows, "The Zhenguo Mansion has not let down the royal family, the people, or Xiling, but the royal family can no longer accommodate the Shen family army."

"The soldiers stationed at the border are hungry and cold. They can't even get the money they earned with their lives."

"The imperial court is withholding food and wages from soldiers at the border?" Jiang Xuening said coldly, "Helian Xuan is courting his own death."

Shen Zhaoyan cleared his throat and leaned his head on her shoulder. "The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is struggling to survive and is already in dire straits. If you abandon me and run away, I will have nothing to do but starve."

She didn't believe it. They were all thousand-year-old foxes pretending to be strange people. With his white-and-black character, it was impossible that he didn't leave a way out for himself.

"The Shen family army is the foundation of the Zhenguogong Mansion. Are you really going to hand them over like this?"

Shen Zhaoyan sneered, "In times of peace and prosperity, they were treated harshly, and in times of war, they were made to pay with their lives. These years are enough, I am tired, and they don't owe anyone anything."

"Let everything end here with me. Protecting this land is what a ruler should think about."

"Except for a sickly person like me, no one else in the Shen family can work for the royal family."

She spoke lightly, but those few words fully expressed the injustice of the court over the years and the grievances suffered by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the soldiers.

Jiang Xue Ning sighed softly, "If a ruler is unkind, he will be retaliated against sooner or later."

"Gu Mingyue should have killed him and taken the position herself!"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and was as unorthodox as ever.

"I have already sent out the order. Anyone who wants to withdraw can do so. I will give them a resettlement allowance. They should also live their ordinary lives."

This was a trap for Helian Xuan. The soldiers could not help but feel resentful for the harsh treatment they received from the imperial court over the years. Once Shen Zhaoyan gave up, the Shen family army would probably be disbanded.

The Shen family army has loyalty to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, not to the imperial court, and may not be willing to continue working for the imperial court.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "Now is indeed a good time to withdraw. If it was really because of me that I lost the Shen family army, I would be guilty of a great sin."

Shen Zhaoyan said softly, "Although the imperial decree for marriage has been issued, there is no set wedding date, so don't feel too stressed."

You have to coax people slowly, lest you force them too much and scare them away.

"Ahem, we are both young, so there is still a long way to go before we get married."

No one can tell what will happen in the future.

When she arrived at the Qingzhou Palace, she felt her breathing became much smoother, but her knees were very painful.

Caiyue used scissors to cut her pants at the knees, leaving her entire knees bruised and swollen, which was shocking to look at.

"My lady, I am going to apply medicine on you. It will be painful, please bear with it."

Her expression was distorted with pain. Shen Zhaoyan held his arm out to her and asked, "Do you want to bite it?"

She pushed his hand away angrily, "Humph, it's all your fault."

Shen Zhaoyan was confused, "What peach blossom debt?"

"The Ninth Princess came to me and hinted that you two were childhood sweethearts and that you wanted to make me your sister-in-law. In the end, she fainted in the Weiyang Palace out of grief. The Queen Mother took this opportunity to punish me."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but pinch his arm and said, "How many good sisters do you have out there?"

"I'm not familiar with her. At most, I studied with her in the Imperial Study when I was a child." Shen Zhaoyan said quickly, "I will give you an explanation for what happened this time."

"That's not necessary." Jiang Xue Ning stretched out her sinful hand and pinched his face, "Who made you have such an attractive face?"

"You can keep me as your mistress in a golden house, and hide me after you get married, and don't let anyone see me."

"Are you such a peaceful person? I don't believe it at all."

After applying the medicine and tossing around all day, Jiang Xue Ning was already tired and soon prepared to rest.

After Shen Zhaoyan left the Qingzhou Palace, he became the decisive and murderous prince again.

He ordered Chen Bi, "Spread the news that the Ninth Princess was madly in love with me, remained devoted to me even after the imperial decree granted her marriage, and was so heartbroken that she fainted. Make sure the news spreads throughout the capital."

Chen Bi said hesitantly, "Will this be bad for the reputation of the prince?"

"It's okay. It's not like I'm obsessed with her. If she likes acting so much, let her act as much as she wants."

Qing Dai at the side continued, "Even if she is a princess, if such rumors spread, I guess the real noble family masters will just avoid her."

Although a princess is a noble woman, she is not necessarily popular. After all, if you marry a princess, your career will be over.

Suddenly, the rumor that the Prince of Zhennan was proposing to marry the Princess of Qingzhou and that the Ninth Princess was heartbroken spread throughout the streets and became the hot topic on the streets.
