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

Half a month has passed since the winter solstice, and Shen Zhaoyan's life or death is still unknown.

The palace was busy preparing for the wedding of the Ninth Princess and Xiao Linfeng, as if they wanted to use this grand wedding to wash away the haze that was shrouding Shengjing.

At this time, someone from the Empress Dowager's palace came to ask Jiang Xue Ning to come to the palace for an audience. She was busy and had no time to go to the palace to play palace fighting with the Empress Dowager.

Immediately, Jiang Xue Ning fell seriously ill and was unable to enter the palace.

She stayed indoors pretending to be sick while handling affairs in her study.

Qing He pushed the door open anxiously and said, "Princess, Concubine Ming is here."

Jiang Xue Ning stood up in surprise. Why did Zhong Qiu come at this critical moment?

She went out to greet him. Zhongqiu had already entered the room, very low-key. Behind him followed Helian Xuan, who was dressed in green. The two of them looked like they were on a secret tour.

Zhong Qiu spoke first, "I heard that something happened to the prince, and you were so sad that you fell ill. This palace and His Majesty came to visit you."

Jiang Xue Ning immediately calmed down and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, for your concern. I don't deserve it."

Helian Xuan personally walked over to help her up, and looked at her with half-closed eyes, "You do look a lot thinner, it seems that you have been very sad for the prince."

She took a step back to avoid his hand and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please come in and take a seat."

Qinghe quickly brought people to serve hot tea. Zhongqiu took a sip and immediately said, "I want to walk around the yard."

"I go with you."

Helian Xuan leaned back in his chair and said nonchalantly, "Stay here. I have something to say to you alone."

Jiang Xue Ning had no choice but to stay and watch Zhong Qiu leave.

The room suddenly became very quiet. Helian Xuan half-closed his eyes and looked at her with an obscure look.

"As for the matter of the prince, I feel guilty about you, so I gave you in marriage to him."

This was a confusing statement, so Jiang Xue Ning didn't respond.

Helian Xuan chuckled and said in a bewitching voice, "My harem is still missing a queen."

Jiang Xue Ning was shocked, but she said calmly, "I dare not make rash comments on matters concerning the harem."

"I have chosen you for the position of Queen."

He raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "You have such a face, and it is destined for me to be with you. Come to the palace and be my queen!"

Jiang Xue Ning almost couldn't hold back and spit on his face.

"It's inappropriate to do this when the prince is still alive or dead. After all, my wife should not be bullied."

"The high priest observed the celestial phenomena at night and said that you were born to be a phoenix. It is natural for you to marry me. It is destiny!" Helian Xuan said with a smile.

Jiang Xue Ning's expression froze slightly, and her heart felt cold. This was a robbery, and he had even thought of an excuse to the outside world, and it was so high-sounding.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Helian Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't want to?"

"I just don't want to follow in my cousin's footsteps."

"That means you are unwilling." Helian Xuan chuckled, "But you have no choice. The decree to crown you queen will come soon. Be prepared."

Jiang Xue Ning lowered her head and said, "I understand."

There was a cold light flashing in his lowered eyes. It was not up to him to decide whether there was a choice or not.

"I only have one request, at least let me stay by your side for a full month."

Helian Xuan walked over, pinched her chin and lifted her face, "You are such a devoted person. I agree."

Looking at her bright face, Helian Xuan felt terrified.

The world was in turmoil, and the high priest made divinations one after another. In the end, he even asked him to marry Jiang Xue Ning as his queen, so that the world could be at peace.

He just felt that fate was playing a huge joke on him. Many years ago, he had deliberately planned to get rid of the Gu family and Gu Mingyue.

After many twists and turns, he still has to marry a woman with the same face as Gu Mingyue as his queen.

Jiang Xue Ning chuckled, "Phoenix fate, this is not a good fate."

She died here in her previous life, and in this life she is about to be imprisoned by the emperor because of this.

Helian Xuan was in a bad mood, and suddenly he felt disgusted with this face. He let go of her hand and said, "Oh, wait for the imperial decree to come down."

He turned away, but Zhongqiu did not go back to the palace with him immediately, saying that she had just left the palace with great difficulty and wanted to pay homage to her old friends.

Helian Xuan didn't care. He was so overwhelmed by the affairs of the previous dynasty that he had no time to pay attention to the concubines.

Zhong Qiu sneered, "I didn't expect that he still wouldn't let you go. That high priest is really a bad guy."

Of course it was bad. If she remembered correctly, it was this high priest who suggested imprisoning her soul forever.

She even wondered if she had accidentally dug up his ancestral grave.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Xue Ning was relatively calm and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Zhong Qiu said anxiously, "You must not enter the palace to be the queen. A man like Helian Xuan who is so heartless and ungrateful obviously has bad intentions."

Jiang Xue Ning comforted her, "Don't worry, I can handle it, but you have to be careful in the harem and get out as soon as possible if possible."

If things get really chaotic, as the emperor's concubine, she might find it difficult to extricate herself in the end.

"I know what's going on, but now is not the time to withdraw."

Putting aside this unpleasant topic for the moment, Jiang Xue Ning accompanied her to the Gu Mansion. She went in to burn incense and took a walk around, and finally returned to the palace reluctantly before dark.

Jiang Xue Ning immediately sent someone to look for Xing Luo. Fortunately, Xing Luo had not been running around recently, so he was found quickly.

The first thing Xing Luo said when he entered the room was, "What does the princess want from me? Do you want me to tell your fortune?"

Jiang Xue Ning tapped the table lightly with her hand, "Do you know who the high priest in the palace is?"

Xingluo said, "He is not from the same faction as us astrologers, why are you asking him suddenly?"

"He said that I was born with the destiny of a phoenix, and marrying me would bring peace to the world, so Helian Xuan wants to marry me as his queen now."

"Tsk tsk, the high priest's skills are not up to par." Xing Luo touched his chin and said, "If Helian Xuan really married you, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst. Sooner or later, he will be killed by you."

Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "What a high priest, he is no better than this. He puts the safety of Xiling on the life of a phoenix."

Xingluo shook his head. "No matter what it is, once it is used by the imperial power, it will change sooner or later. He must have calculated that the world would be in chaos, and he had no choice but to push you out."

"Since he likes to calculate so much, he'd better calculate for himself how he will die in the end."

"It's his bad luck to mess with you." Xingluo asked curiously, "So you want to go to the palace to be Helian Xuan's queen?"

"I think he's a big shot. Being his queen will only make me suffer and my marrow will be sucked out. There will be no good ending."

Xingluo took a sip of wine and said, "Then I feel relieved. Don't listen to his lies."

Jiang Xue Ning lowered her eyes and said softly, "Now that things have come to this, let me make this already muddy water even more muddy."

"Qing He sent a message to Wu Jin, asking him to spread the news that the emperor wants to marry me as his queen."

Overnight, the news that the emperor was going to marry the Princess of Qingzhou as his empress spread throughout Shengjing, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in the already restless capital.
