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

Standing weakly at the palace gate, Shangguan Wan could no longer remember how many years she had been in the palace. She finally walked out of this cage and saw the light of day again.

She was seriously ill and was released from the palace while the newly appointed Ming Fei was reorganizing the harem. A female official she was close to hired a carriage for her and helped her into it.

"Don't you want me to take you there?"

She shook her head, "No need."

The sound of the carriage clattering down the street made Shangguan Wan feel that it was unreal. In the "Crow Disaster" game, she was prepared to die after the incident and never thought that she could escape unscathed.

She lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the bustling world outside, and all the restlessness and anger in her heart were soothed.

Since you have managed to survive, live well.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard where she lived. After paying the fare, Shang Gongwan opened the door and walked in slowly, holding onto the wall.

Her body was so weak that she lay on the bed in a cold sweat, and soon fell drowsy under the quilt.

"Dong dong dong..."

She heard the sound of fighting in a daze, woke up with a start, sat up and listened attentively.

There was indeed a fight outside, and there was more than one person. She nervously took out the dagger hidden under her pillow and held it in her hand.

Gradually the sound of fighting died down...and her heart rose to her throat.

"crunch..."

The door opened, and a woman in fiery red walked in, holding a sword that was still dripping with blood, and smiled sweetly at her.

"Miss Shangguan, my princess sent me to pick you up."

The person who came was Wu Sa.

Shangguan Wan packed up her belongings without hesitation and followed her. Wu Sa took her on a galloping horse, took a detour along a rugged road, and finally stopped in a valley.

She took a deep breath and took a look. In the lush forest, there was a peach blossom temple.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Qinghe and Caiyue came out. Seeing their acquaintance Shangguan Wan, she could no longer hold on and fell off the horse. She was supported by Wu Sa in time.

"Help the person in quickly, the princess is waiting."

When Shangguan Wan woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows, birds chirped outside, and calming incense was lit in the house.

She slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, her head feeling a little dizzy.

Qing He heard the noise and brought in a bowl of fragrant chicken porridge. "Miss Shangguan, you are finally awake. Drink some hot porridge to warm your body."

Shangguan Wan was not polite and drank the whole bowl of porridge in small sips. With Qinghe's help, she took a hot bath and changed into dry clothes.

Finally, he came back to life and regained some strength.

Qinghe helped her to the yard to bask in the sun. The faint smell of incense wafted through the nunnery, and unknown flowers were blooming brightly in the corners of the wall.

She lay on the chair, rocking slowly, letting the autumn sunshine shine on her body.

It's very comfortable, and I feel a bit relaxed, as if I had stolen a half day's leisure from my busy life.

Jiang Xue Ning came back at this time, holding a red tasseled spear in her hand. She took the handkerchief handed to her by Qing He, wiped her hands, and sat down next to her. "Are you okay?"

"Being alive is the greatest luck."

Jiang Xue Ning took a sip of tea and said, "I'm afraid you can't stay in Shengjing anymore. The Xiao family won't let you go."

"The person who came to assassinate me is from the Xiao family?" Shangguan Wan asked worriedly, "Then if you save me, will you be exposed?"

"It's okay. It's either you or me between the Xiao family. We will clash sooner or later."

Considering Xiao Linfeng's personality, he must have been keeping an eye on her for a long time. News came from Qingzhou that someone was investigating her.

She guessed that it was Xiao Linfeng who became suspicious of her.

We have been lying in wait before, but now if the Xiao family insists on attacking us, it is time to draw the sword against them.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Shangguan smiled and said in confusion, "I never thought about leaving the palace alive before, so I really didn't think about the future."

She pondered seriously for a while, stretched her back and said, "Anyway, I will never get married and have children. My mother suffered all her life in the harem. I also witnessed the cruel fighting for favor in the harem. I can't have children for a man and be trapped in the harem, revolving around him day after day."

"I want to live for myself and live a more meaningful life."

Jiang Xue Ning was not surprised at her answer. To be able to become a female official, she must have read a lot of books. With these experiences, it was not surprising that she had such vision.

"Let me recommend a place to you."

She pushed a letter to her and said, "Take this letter to Wutong Academy, the largest women's academy in Hunan and Chu, and go to the academy's principal. There, teach more women what you have learned, teach them how to make a living and how to be independent and self-reliant!"

Listening to her words, Shangguan Wan slowly sat up straight, with a warm light shining in her eyes.

"Why are you helping me so much?"

"I told you I admire you very much. Xiangchu is a very different and interesting place from Shengjing. Let's go and have a look."

Shangguan Wan's eyes showed some longing. "Xiangchu was almost massacred back then, and countless people died tragically in the war. Later, Princess Chen recovered and rebuilt it single-handedly, spending countless efforts there."

For the people of Xiangchu, what the imperial court is is not important to them, they only recognize the King of Xiangchu, Gu Mingyue.

When the news of Gu Mingyue's death spread, it almost caused a riot.

Shangguan Wan said sarcastically, "The royal family and Helian Xuan have not dared to admit to the public that Gu Mingyue died at their hands."

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes and said, "Wutong Academy is a good place. You should go there to recuperate and start your new life."

"The sun rises in the east, and the phoenix rests on the phoenix tree." Shangguan Mingzhu said softly, "It is said that the headmaster of the Wutong Academy is a close friend of the King of Xiangchu."

Xiao Shujin summoned the headmaster of Wutong Academy to the palace three times, but he turned a deaf ear. The palace sent people to question him, but only one person came back alive.

From then on, almost no one sent by the imperial court had a good ending.

When the city was breached and the iron cavalry of the Northern Rong invaded Hunan and Chu, the former headmaster of Wutong Academy, with more than a thousand people from the academy, fought hard to resist the enemy until death, but almost all of them died under the swords of the Northern Rong in the end.

The youngest girl was only thirteen years old. These girls used their own blood to tragically leave a strong mark in the Hunan-Chu War.

Therefore, Wutong Academy has a special place in the hearts of Xiangchu people. The current principal, Shen Zhiyun, is a survivor of that battle and a sworn sister of the King of Xiangchu.

Gu Mingyue is gone, but she is still here. She is the backbone, able to stabilize Xiangchu.

After the imperial court had attacked her several times, the people of Xiang and Chu spread the word that anyone from the royal family or the imperial court who dared to step into the territory of Xiang and Chu would be killed one by one or in pairs.

Xiangchu is a tough nut to crack, because Gu Mingyue died in Shengjing, and the people there are very hostile to the court. Over the years, Helian Xuan has never been able to completely control the place as he wished.

Jiang Xue Ning said firmly, "Go, you will like it there."

That was the place she longed to go back to, and she had a filter for it.

"I look forward to it…"
