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

On the day of the beginning of winter, Shengjing welcomed the first snow.

After dinner, Jiang Xuening admired the snow in the pavilion, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Wu Jin came walking on the snow, with snowflakes covering her body. She handed her the latest information in her hand.

"There's news from Yunmeng Prefecture that the prince was besieged as soon as he entered Yunmeng Prefecture. After a bloody battle with the forces of Yunmeng Prefecture all night, he disappeared without a trace."

Jiang Xue Ning lowered her head to read the message, then looked up at the heavy snow outside and did not speak for a long time.

Wu Jin sighed, "Princess, what should we do next?"

"It's just missing, it's okay." Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "Next is the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, when all parties will make their debut."

What she needs to do is keep a clear head and make the most correct judgment in the chaotic situation. She needs to be calmer at this time.

The storm came quickly, and only three days later, various forces began to tacitly encircle and suppress the power of the Zhennan Palace in Shengjing, both openly and secretly, wishing to devour the Zhennan Palace immediately.

Jiang Xue Ning had not left her study for several days. Various complicated messages were transmitted to her through various channels. She needed to filter out the useful ones and make the most accurate judgment.

On the seventh day, she finally said to Chen Bi, "Summon the person in charge of Zhennan Palace in Shengjing to see me."

Shen Bi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll be there right away."

Chen Bi was left behind by Shen Zhaoyan to assist her, and she was very familiar with the internal power distribution of the palace.

That night, Jiang Xue Ning walked into the Zhennan Palace, which was already covered in white, amidst the heavy snow.

Chen Bi said to her, "Princess, please come this way."

As soon as she entered the study, several sharp eyes looked over at her. Sitting in the room were the three main people in charge of the Zhennan Palace in Shengjing.

She had known them for a long time, so she met their gazes calmly and sat down in the main seat naturally. "It's snowing heavily tonight. Thank you for your hard work in braving the snow."

Yun Zhi, the only woman among the three, smiled at her in a friendly manner, "You have worked hard, Princess."

"Hmph." The unfriendly-looking Bai Lao snorted in dissatisfaction, "Now is a busy time, I wonder why the princess called us here?"

The other kind-looking old man, Mr. Zhong, just quietly hid in the corner without saying a word, as if he was watching the situation.

Jiang Xuening looked up at the map on the wall. "Everyone is rushing over. The forces of the Zhennan Palace in Shengjing have been surrounded and suppressed. What are you going to do?"

Old Bai said impatiently, "What can we do? Of course we have to hold on and not let those bastards take advantage of us."

Yun Zhi, "To be honest, facing such a crackdown, I can't hold out for too long."

Elder Zhong, who had been silent the whole time, raised his head and glanced at her. "What do you think, Princess?"

Jiang Xue Ning shot the flying knife in her hand at the map on the wall with a "pa" sound, hitting Shengjing right in the middle.

"If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. It is better to burn your boats and risk your life."

"Haha." Old Bai sneered disdainfully, "Girl, you are just talking nonsense that sounds impressive but is useless."

Jiang Xue Ning was not angry. She just took the brush and drew a line on the map.

"I will have my people assist you in launching a counterattack against these encircling forces. Then you can leave Beijing by water along this route."

Bai Laodi and the one who was blowing his beard and staring disagreed, "If you tell us to leave, we have to leave. It's impossible. I want to stay here and guard everything until the prince comes back!"

Yun Zhi stood up, walked to the map and studied it carefully, frowning slightly, "If we take the water route, we have to pass through Qiushui Village, which is a tough place. The imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times but all failed."

Qiushui Village has the advantage of terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The waterways of the village are complex and well connected. Most of the time, they survive by doing business through the waterways, and rarely attack civilians. Gradually, they have been at peace with the court.

Jiang Xue Ning pointed to the location of Qiu Shui Village and said, "There is a secret waterway in their village that leads to Lishui. We can leave quickly from there and get rid of the pursuit."

Yun Zhi's eyes lit up after hearing this, "The princess has connections with the people from Qiushui Village?"

"Their boss owes me a favor."

"If you want to leave, you can leave. I, an old man, won't leave. Anyone who wants to destroy the palace's foundation will have to do so over my dead body," said Old Bai firmly.

Elder Zhong, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "Tell me the reason why we should completely withdraw from Shengjing."

This is a bold and unexpected proposal.

Jiang Xue Ning smiled faintly, "Shenyang has always been a cage for the prince. Now that he has left, why should he come back? There is a wider world waiting for him outside."

"Besides, if we abandon Shengjing, we'll just abandon it. There's nothing worth reminiscing about it."

Elder Zhong smiled slightly, "What a good way to give up, the princess is really courageous."

Jiang Xue Ning looked out with sharp eyes. This prosperous Shengjing was where the corpses of her entire Gu family were buried, and all that was left for her was a cold coffin.

Of course she had to destroy him with her own hands before leaving!

Bai Lao still had some concerns and said carefully, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided so easily."

Jiang Xue Ning took out the Patriarch's Order and said forcefully, "This is an order, not a negotiation. Just do as you are told."

Bai Lao's eyes widened, "That kid actually gave you the Patriarch Order."

Old Master Zhong felt that the future princess lived up to the image of decisiveness and ruthlessness in the rumors, and she was full of momentum from the beginning.

"We are having a hard time dealing with the encirclement and suppression, and it's not that easy to fight back."

The most elite forces of the palace all followed Shen Zhaoyan to Yunmeng Prefecture, and they only had a few people left to use.

Jiang Xue Ning clapped her hands and pushed Li and Wu Jin in.

"They will assist you in completing your counterattack and escape plan. You will be in charge of the details."

With Jiang Li as the leader and Jiang Xue Ning in control of the overall situation, she occasionally offered supplementary opinions and the plan quickly took shape.

When the sky was slightly bright, the plan was roughly finalized. Jiang Xue Ning said, "Follow the plan. If there are any changes, communicate in time."

She slowly walked out of the Zhennan Palace in the heavy snow. Although the spies of various families received the news, most of them did not take it seriously.

I don't think that a woman like her can change anything by staying in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion for one night.

Elder Zhong looked at the century-old palace reluctantly and sighed, "I can't keep it anymore and have to leave."

Yun Zhi was quite open-minded. "Where the prince is is where I belong. As for Shengjing, there is nothing good to stay here anyway."

She couldn't wait to leave because the world outside was so wonderful.

"Humph, young people are just careless." Old Bai couldn't help shaking his head and said, "The prince found a powerful girl, but she took advantage of him."

"It's better to be tough in this world. Only by being tough can you stand up to things and carve out a way out."
