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

Li Qi's emotions fluctuated so much that he cried and convulsed, and he couldn't stop.

Jiang Xue Ning gave her a needle on her wrist and said, "Go to sleep, have a good sleep."

She finally calmed down and fell asleep.

She and Bingtong quickly said goodbye, preparing to wait until Li Qi calmed down before visiting him again.

There was a gap of almost twenty years in between, and Li Qi needed time to digest and accept everything.

Three days later, the old lady brought Li Qi to visit. She looked clear-headed and no longer had any trace of madness.

Li Qi looked at her and cried and laughed, "It's great that Sister Gu didn't die in Qin Garden and has such a beautiful daughter."

Jiang Xue Ning had mixed feelings and whispered, "My mother in heaven would be very happy to see Aunt Li wake up."

During these three days, the old lady told her the key points of the major events that happened during the years when she was crazy.

After a dream of many years, when I woke up, everything had changed.

Of the three people, she was the only one left alive in this world. Their lives were ruined that afternoon, and they paid a heavy price.

Li Qi covered his face with his hands and said painfully, "I remember that summer was very hot, so everyone in the palace went to the garden to escape the heat. The Queen Mother said that we were young and asked us not to restrict us, so we had a lot of fun in the garden."

There is a large lotus pond in Qin Garden, and nobles from the palace occasionally come to admire the lotus under the moon on summer nights. During the day, the sun is strong and the nobles are pampered, so the garden is very quiet and no one is visiting.

Young girls love to play, and she grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, so she understands the joy of the lotus pond best.

So that afternoon, while everyone was taking a nap, the three of them brought some wine and snacks and secretly gave some silver to the boat girl.

The three of them rowed the boat into the depths of the lotus pond. The endless green lotus leaves connected to the sky formed another quiet world under the lotus leaves.

They were slightly tipsy, hid the boat under the lotus leaves, and fell asleep.

Li Qi still feels scared when he recalls it now. "There were sounds of men and women making love in the lotus pond. We were so drunk and sleepy that we didn't react at first."

"It's cool and wild here. Let's come again."

"No, my waist hurts, and my period hasn't come this month. I'm afraid I might be pregnant."

"If you get pregnant, just give birth to the baby. What are you afraid of..."

"So when you are born, are you the brother or the father?"

Gu Yuechan was the first to wake up. She covered her mouth with her hand, and the two looked at each other in horror.

Just at this moment, Xuan Xuan, who was sleeping soundly, uttered something in her dream.

Instantly, the man's furious voice was heard, "Who's there?"

Seeing that things were getting bad, they rowed their boats to escape, but unfortunately a boat quickly appeared from the lotus leaf side.

The people on the boat were the then Crown Prince Helian Yi and Ying Zhaoyi, whose face was slightly red.

Having uncovered such a secret in the palace, the three of them woke up completely and their faces turned pale.

Gu Mingyue was the first to react, "We didn't see anything, and we didn't hear anything."

Unfortunately, the prince had already decided to kill them. "I only believe the dead."

Ying Zhaoyi even said, "We can't let them go, otherwise we will be the ones who have no chance to survive."

Xuan Xuan had the worst temper. She quickly figured out what was going on after she woke up and said unconvincedly, "The Crown Prince and his concubines committed adultery in the palace, and they even wanted to kill people to silence them!"

Just as he finished speaking, the prince, who had been caught in a rage, flew to their boat with a sword in hand and grabbed Xuan Xuan's neck.

She was so frightened that she stood still. Gu Yuchan rushed forward to save Xuan Xuan, but was stabbed several times by the prince without mercy.

"Let me go... His Majesty will not let you go..."

Xuan Xuan struggled for a while, but soon lost her breath and was strangled to death.

Helian Yi let go with a cold face and threw Xuan Xuan directly into the water. He was about to kill her with a sword, but Gu Mingyue held her feet tightly.

"Qi'er, run... jump into the water..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked to the side by Helian Yi and was dying instantly.

She subconsciously wanted to jump into the water, as women from water towns are best at floating on water.

However, Helian Yi grabbed her clothes on the back and pulled her down onto the boat. He used too much force and the thin summer gauze dress was torn into pieces.

Helian Yi stepped on her and said coldly, "Where do you want to run to..."

Gu Mingyue, covered in blood, held on to his last breath and said, "If we die here today, the three great families will not let it go. Please leave some room for us, Prince."

"Oh, you are worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. You are the one chosen by my mother for me to be the Crown Princess." The Crown Prince chuckled and pierced her bellyband with his sword. "The Xuan family girl fell into the lotus pond and drowned. The Li family girl tried to seduce me. After drugging me, she played too hard and died... As for you, it is really difficult. I haven't figured out how you would be best to die."

This was her last memory. She could no longer bear it and fainted due to extreme mental stress.

This is the whole story about that afternoon.

Li Qi blamed himself and said, "I am so useless..."

The old lady patted her hands and added, "In fact, at that time, the late emperor's health was already very poor. He was obsessed with seeking immortals and asking for the way. The crown prince was already in charge of the country."

So later, the three families were summoned to the palace, saying that Xuan Xuan died of drowning, and Li Qi suddenly went crazy, and the imperial physician said it was a sudden hysteria. As for Gu Mingyue, the Queen Mother said nothing, but asked Madam Gu to see her.

The Xuan family was unwilling to accept the loss of their beloved daughter, but they were repeatedly suppressed by Helian Yi. After Helian Yi got married and ascended the throne, they withdrew from the court and moved away with their family.

The truth was so absurd that Jiang Xue Ning said in confusion, "My mother's temper is not someone who will give in easily."

From the subsequent situation, Gu Yuchan seemed to have said nothing. After leaving the palace, she quickly married Jiangzhou and followed Jiangzhou out of the capital.

Li Qi suddenly burst into tears, "The Queen Mother must have threatened her with me and the Gu family, so Yuchan kept silent about what happened that day."

Since they were close as sisters, they naturally understood each other. Gu Yuchan valued friendship, and for her, Xuan Xuan was already dead, so she naturally tried her best to save her. Even if she went crazy, it was better than death.

As time passed, the empress dowager had become the grand empress dowager, Helian Yi had died, and the Qin family's daughter had become the empress dowager.

Jiang Xuening asked calmly, "Who is this Ying Zhaoyi?"

The old lady explained to her, "She is the niece of the Empress Dowager."

One is my son, and the other is my niece. That's why we have to suppress this matter as much as possible. Once it gets out, it will cause huge consequences.

"Heh..." Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "If Ying Zhaoyi's child is born and survives, who will it be?"

Madam Li recalled carefully, "I have never heard that this Concubine Ying had any children. I only know that she stayed with the Empress Dowager for a long time. After Helian Yi died, she followed the Empress Dowager to Yaoguang Temple."

The fact that Concubine Ying had no children could only mean that the child either died or was sent away after birth.

Jiang Xue Ning was very curious whether Helian Xuan knew about her father's ridiculous past and the existence of that child.
