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

The two of them didn't know how long they stood on the tall building before Jiang Xue Ning heard footsteps.

Looking back, I saw Shen Zhaoyan climbing up with the help of Bai Zhu. His steps were weak and his face was pale, and it was obvious that he was not in good condition.

Bai Zhu said angrily, "With his current body, he still wants to travel thousands of miles to Yunmeng Prefecture. I think he doesn't want to live anymore and thinks his life is too long."

"You better take care of him, or else you'll become a living widow before you even get married."

Bai Zhu complained while forcefully stuffing a pill into his mouth. He said unhappily, "Bite it up and swallow it. One day I will be pissed off to death by you."

He walked away while cursing and complaining.

Xingluo was also very tactful and walked away slowly while drunk, leaving only two people on the tall building.

Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "Are you okay?"

"The situation in Yunmeng Prefecture is very bad. The three major forces headed by the Ye family rebelled, massacred the people left by my mother, dug up her cenotaph, and slandered everything about her."

"I can't stand it. My mother is not that kind of person. She has given everything for Yunmeng Province. I can't watch her hard work being destroyed."

Jiang Xue Ning said sympathetically, "I can understand that Queen Xihe is a very powerful person, and her contributions will be remembered for generations to come."

She has always been so calm, rational and intelligent, but when Shen Zhaoyan looked at her like this, his heart ached.

He was so close to grabbing her hand completely, but was forced to let go.

He closed his eyes and said bitterly, "I don't know how long it will take me to quell the rebellion. If I can't come back on time, the wedding will have to be postponed."

"It's okay, I understand."

In the face of such things, love between young men and women seems insignificant and is destined to give in.

Helian Xuan was originally unwilling to let him return to Yunmeng Prefecture, and even wanted to use this marriage to restrain him.

Unfortunately, the news was getting worse and worse. The Ye family was revealed to be supported by other countries. Once Yunmeng Prefecture changed its owner, it would likely become an arrow shot at Xiling by other countries.

This is a situation that Helian Xuan does not want to see. Although Yunmengzhou has existed independently in recent years, because the young master Shen Zhaoyan is in Shengjing, he has actually been restrained by Xiling and compromised.

Therefore, Helian Xuan would never allow Yunmeng Prefecture to completely fall into the arms of another country.

It just so happened that Xiling was in a troubled time, with undercurrents surging inside. Helian Xuan did not dare to take away his troops and go to Yunmengzhou.

The only possibility for a turnaround is that Shen Zhaoyan, the legitimate young master, goes there in person and perhaps can reverse the situation.

So, in the end Helian Xuan was forced to agree to let him leave Xiling and go to Yunmengzhou.

Jiang Xue Ning analyzed calmly, "He has been using the Shen family army of Zhennan Palace as a hostage to keep you in Shengjing. This is a good opportunity for you."

The Shen family army and so many people in the Zhennan Palace have followed his father and brothers through life and death. At his command, they are still willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

He couldn't be so cruel as to leave selfishly without caring about their lives.

He seemed to be of noble status, but in fact he had always been controlled. Over the years, with a weak body, he struggled to survive among the various forces that were eyeing him covetously.

If done right, he will completely break free from the shackles and escape from the cage.

Of course Shen Zhaoyan understood what she meant, and that was why he was unwilling to accept it.

He had long been tired of the luxurious cage of Shengjing and had no attachment to the prosperous Shengjing.

Unfortunately, the woman he wanted to spend his life with was in this cage.

He was almost able to marry her with a grand ceremony.

Under his wide sleeves, he held a Patriarch's Order in his hand. He said to Jiang Xue Ning, "Come here."

Jiang Xue Ning walked up to him, and he placed the Patriarch Order in her palm, "I will leave Chen Bi to you. With this Patriarch Order, you can command the people in Zhennan Palace, and you can also use all the resources and connections of Zhennan Palace."

“This is too expensive…”

Shen Zhaoyan helped her close her palms, "There are too many uncertainties on this trip. I can't leave with peace of mind unless you accept me."

Jiang Xue Ning finally accepted it. In case Helian Xuan took advantage of his absence to plot against the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, she would be able to respond in time with the patriarch's order in hand.

"Go without worry. I will do my best to help you guard the Zhennan Palace."

Shen Zhao stretched out his arms and hugged her, "When I come back, I will definitely come back to marry you."

Jiang Xue Ning leaned on his shoulder and whispered softly, "I will try my best to wait...but I can't guarantee how long I can wait."

He had places he needed to go, and she had her own mission.

She couldn't guarantee how long she could stay in Shengjing, and if he didn't return for a long time, she couldn't wait any longer.

"You are indeed a cruel and gentle woman. You are not even willing to coax me."

Jiang Xue Ning sighed softly, unable to say much to comfort her, "If we are destined to be together, we will meet again."

Shen Zhaoyan just hugged her quietly and said nothing more.

There are too many variables on this journey, and it is actually unknown whether he can come back alive.

If he were alive, he would go to the ends of the earth to find her. If he were dead, he hoped to become the cinnabar mole in her heart, which would bleed if touched.

So Shen Zhaoyan, who has always been selfish, said generously at the end, "If I can't come back on time, then don't wait."

"Go to your new life and do what you want to do."

"But you must always remember me, never forget me, and never love another male lead more than me, or I'll haunt you even if I turn into a ghost."

There was still a lot to say, but he didn't have much time left.

Shen Zhaoyan held her hand and walked the last stretch of the journey side by side, step by step.

Everyone at the gate of the villa is ready to go. Shen Zhaoyan is going to travel to Yunzhou overnight.

Jiang Xue Ning sent her to the door, and a ripple appeared in her usually cold heart.

Shen Zhaoyan let go of her hand and said, "I'm leaving."

She held his face in her hands, "Come back alive."

"We will definitely meet again."

No matter where she was, he would find her.

Jiang Xue Ning didn't cry nor look sad, but nodded and gave him her most beautiful smile.

Shen Zhaoyan turned around, mounted his horse and rode away, the whole action was done in one go. He did not look back, nor did he dare to look back.

He was afraid that if he looked at it for one more moment, he would not want to leave.

It was not until his figure completely disappeared into the night that Jiang Xue Ning's eyes revealed a hint of sadness.

She murmured, "We agreed that we would meet again."

Xingluo said drunkenly, "What a great drama of birth and death. It makes me want to be worldly."

Jiang Xue Ning gave him a cold look and said, "Shut your crow mouth."

Xingluo immediately said, "Let me do the math for you and see if you two are destined to be together."

"Not counting."

"Just do the math. I can look specifically at your relationship line."

"not interested."

She always believed that if they were the right person, they would meet again even if they were separated.
