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

Jiang Xue Ning had been cultivating herself in her mansion for several days, and on this day she welcomed an unexpected guest.

Nangong Mo came to visit, dressed like a colorful peacock.

She set out snacks and tea in the pavilion beside the lotus pond to welcome guests.

When Nangong Mo arrived, she was making tea. She looked up at him and said, "Fourth Prince, please sit down."

He lifted his skirt and sat down, admiring her smooth movements, and said very seriously, "I quite admire your style of doing things. It's a pity to marry a sickly person like Shen Zhaoyan."

Jiang Xue Ning handed him the brewed tea and said, "Except for his weak body, everything else is fine."

"Is that a little weak?" Nangong Mo stroked his chin and said, "If you marry her, I'm afraid you'll be a widow in no time."

He had been thinking about it for a while. If he let her marry like this, he would definitely not be able to explain it when he returned. Someone would be cold and stern again and ignore him.

He had to think of a way.

"Well, let's discuss something. You are surrounded by wolves in front of you and tigers behind you in Shengjing. Why don't you just run away with me?"

"Come with me to Fusang. No one will dare to bully you when I am here."

This idea was really bold. Jiang Xuening looked at him and always felt that something was wrong.

They don't have any friendship, so the only reason he would help him is because of Gu Xingchen.

"Does the Fourth Prince have a good relationship with Cousin Xingchen?"

"That's very good. That kid almost climbed over my head and shit." Nangong Mo said it as a matter of course, but his ears turned red. "If he knew that I didn't help you seriously, he would definitely be unhappy."

Jiang Xue Ning narrowed her eyes, "Are you afraid that he will be unhappy?"

His mother was the Queen of Fuso, and the Crown Prince of Fuso was his biological brother. As the youngest son of the Queen, he was doted on and acted arrogantly in Fuso.

Gu Xingchen lived in Japan and hid his identity, but he actually made the fourth prince so "scared."

She always felt that there was something fishy and something was wrong.

Nangong Mo coughed lightly, "He is so scary when he gets angry. I can't afford to offend him."

Jiang Xue Ning didn't ask any more questions in the end. No matter how much she asked, she couldn't feel at ease if she didn't see anyone.

"Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Prince. I can't run away for the time being."

"Okay." Nangong Mo said a little disappointedly, "I will stay here until your wedding is over. If you change your mind, you can tell me at any time."

Jiang Xue Ning appreciated his kindness, "Thank you, Fourth Prince. I need your help with something."

Nangong Mo said domineeringly, "Just speak up."

"If His Majesty intends to marry the daughter of the Shangguan family to you, please refuse, Fourth Prince. She is not suitable for you."

She didn't want Shangguan Mingzhu to become the fourth princess, as that would be tantamount to giving more power to the Xiao family.

After all, the Shangguan family is not only a relative of the Xiao family, but also follows the Xiao family's lead.

"Shangguan Mingzhu?" Nangong Mo tried to recall and frowned, "Helian Xuan wouldn't want to marry her to me, right?"

"It's possible."

"That's a nice thought." Nangong Mo said dissatisfiedly, "There is absolutely no way I can accept that."

Jiang Xue Ning felt relieved and found him more pleasing to the eye.

Nangong Mo told her about the customs and culture of Fuso, trying to seduce her to follow him.

In the end, they returned empty-handed, leaving behind a bunch of Fuso specialties.

While sorting out the specialties, Qing He couldn't help but say, "This fourth prince is quite interesting."

Jiang Xue Ning revealed a faint smile. With such a person as friend, Gu Xingchen's days in Fuso should not be so lonely.

"Once you've cleaned up, let's set the table."

Today is bound to be a busy day with many guests.

The meal had just been served and she hadn't had time to eat it when she heard faint sounds of fighting outside. She simply put down her chopsticks and walked into the yard.

Caiyue came in quickly to report, "Commander Xiao tried to break in and had a fight with the secret guards."

"He said he was here to pass on a message for someone else."

"Let him in."

Qinghe moved a chair and placed it at the door, and Jiang Xuening sat there casually.

Xiao Wuji walked in quickly, his clothes were torn and he looked a little disheveled.

She said casually, "How come the commander has time to come here?"

Xiao Wuji raised his head and looked at her with a sharp gaze, "Xiao Shujin is dead."

"I know."

Her expression was too calm, and Xiao Wuji had no way of discerning her true emotions.

"The commander had better be busy. Otherwise, my Qingzhou Palace is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Xiao Wuji lowered his eyes, his face darkened, "Someone wants to see the princess, and asked me to pass on the message."

"who…"

"Gu Yijun..."

A distant yet familiar name, so strange that it seemed like something from a previous life, yet it made her chest ache. She blinked unconsciously, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.

"Is it the gentleman who speaks with gentleness and is as gentle as jade, Gu Yijun?"

"Yes." Xiao Wuji looked at her deeply, "It seems that the princess has also heard of his reputation."

She said nonchalantly, "When he was young and famous, he won the top three places in the imperial examination. When he rode a horse through the streets, he amazed the whole of Shengjing. Of course I know such a person. Besides, he is my uncle's favorite student."

How could she not know? He was the man she grew up with. He was eight years older than her, and she had loved staying in his arms since she was a child.

He was also the eldest senior brother of the Gu Family School back then. He was in charge of a group of people and was merciless when it came to punishing people.

A trace of grief flashed across Xiao Wuji's eyes. "He said that he might not live long, and he wanted to see the princess before he died, otherwise he would die with regrets."

"He has had a very hard time these years, but he has been struggling to survive, living in a dirty alley."

"He agreed to meet at Gu Garden on the anniversary of Princess Gu's family's death."

"I understand." Jiang Xue Ning said without any emotion, "I will go to the appointment, you can go now."

The moment Xiao Wuji turned and left, Jiang Xue Ning closed her eyes.

The top scholar who was once "riding a horse at a gallop in the spring breeze and seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day"...after something happened to the Gu family.

He beat drums to appeal for justice, rolled steel plates to file a complaint, and vowed to seek justice for the Gu family. In return, he was wrongly imprisoned for four years, and the pride of the family fell from grace.

The youngest and most prestigious number one scholar in Xiling fell along with the Gu family and was lost in the dust of time.

After she returned to Beijing, she only confirmed that he was still alive, but she did not dare to go to see him, fearing that the young man who was full of vigor and vitality in the past had become poor and destitute.

I am even more afraid of seeing him because I can’t control the surging emotions.

She didn't want to disturb him and drag him into the whirlpool. She wanted to wait until her revenge was achieved and everything was settled before she went to see him.

She whispered, "It's been so long."

There was no more time to wait for her. In her memory, he was clearly in the prime of his life, full of vigor and vitality in the court, and everything seemed perfect.

How could she be dying soon? Jiang Xue Ning couldn’t calm down for a long time.

She is not afraid of facing her enemies, but she is afraid of meeting old friends.
