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

The purpose of the trip to Jiangnan has been achieved. After Jiang Xue Ning stayed here for a few days, she prepared to go south to Hunan and Chu.

The old lady insisted on preparing a banquet to give them a farewell banquet. It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so several people arrived as promised.

After entering the courtyard, they were greeted by Li Qi, who was dressed in green, and her gentle words and actions showed the gentleness of a lady from a Jiangnan family.

After they were seated, the old lady raised her glass to them and said, "Thank you for waking up Qi'er and bringing us the joy of a happy family life."

Jiang Xuening smiled gently, "I hope Aunt Li will get what she wants from now on."

The atmosphere at the banquet was good, but there was always a hint of worry between the old lady's eyebrows.

The moon was at its zenith, and only some wine was left on the table. Li Qi thoughtfully asked the maid to prepare some wine soup and some fresh cut fruits.

The old lady took a sip of the hangover soup and finally made up her mind. She looked at Jiang Xue Ning and slowly said, "There is something I have been hesitating about whether to tell you. I am afraid that you will worry if I hear it, but I am also afraid that if I don't tell you, it will delay your business."

It must be no small matter that could make the old lady, who had experienced many ups and downs, so indecisive.

Jiang Xue Ning ate a piece of snow pear and said with clear eyes, "Just tell me, no matter what happened, I can accept it."

For her, having seen hell and gone through the darkest times, nothing can shock her.

The old lady touched the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "This is a bit unbelievable. We have heard that there are rumors that Xiangchu King Gu Mingyue is still alive!"

This news is somewhat shocking. If it is false, the person who released it must be killed. If it is true, it will surely cause a bloody storm.

Jiang Xue Ning was indeed shocked. She drank a sip of hangover soup to calm her nerves. "Where did the rumor come from?"

"It was leaked from Baidu that Gu Mingyue is not dead and has been hiding in Baidu. Now he wants justice from the royal family."

Baidu, Muye, Yuehua, and Xiangchu have always obeyed Gu Mingyue's orders more than respecting the emperor's orders. Even after Gu Mingyue's death, these four places were still controlled by her confidants and never completely submitted to the court.

This rumor originated from Baidu, and the Baidu City Lord's attitude was ambiguous, making this rumor, which sounded like a fairy tale, worth pondering.

Jiang Xue Ning curled the corners of her mouth in a cold voice. These evil spirits could not help but show up. There must be some ulterior motive for spreading such rumors at this time.

This is also the reason why she did not immediately regain her power from her previous life after her rebirth.

Too much had happened in the meantime, and people's hearts had changed. Not to mention that she had changed her body, even if she really went back in Gu Ming's body, there was no guarantee that she could still control these forces.

So now she chose to develop new forces based on Qingzhou. Only when she was strong enough could she make people submit again.

Sure enough, someone developed ulterior motives and used her as an excuse to stir up trouble.

"Is this rumor a big deal now?"

In order to conceal her whereabouts, she temporarily cut off contact with many secret parties, and she is indeed not very well-informed recently.

"At present, the incident is only a big one in Baidu. The palace knew about it first because they have business there, so they are well-informed." The old lady analyzed calmly, "But since such a big commotion has been caused, it must be aimed at the capital. Soon, the news that Gu Mingyue is still alive will spread throughout Xiling."

Jiang Xue Ning was in an awkward mood. She, the real owner, was sitting here, and then another "Gu Mingyue" appeared.

"This is quite interesting."

The old lady looked at her expression carefully and couldn't help asking curiously, "How true is this news, Princess?"

Back then, the emperor personally killed Gu Mingyue and placed her body under the glacier. Later, the glacier collapsed and the body disappeared. These things are not secrets.

Now they say that the person is not dead, which sounds crazy. But there are many strange things in the world, and it is possible that the person really was not dead.

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes, drank the hangover soup, and said only one sentence, "He was already dead."

He was truly dead, and his soul was imprisoned for three years before he was reborn.

"That means someone is deliberately playing tricks on me." The old lady said worriedly, "The other party is plotting something big."

Dare to flaunt Gu Mingyue's brand in the market, it is like walking on a tightrope, if you are not careful you will be crushed to pieces. It is also possible to take advantage of the east wind and stir up a storm.

Danger and opportunity coexist. The person behind the scenes must be an avid gambler and someone who is very familiar with her.

She smiled and said, "Although the farewell wine has been drunk, I'm afraid we will have to stay in Jiangnan for a while."

"You can stay as long as you want. Just ask if you need help."

She came out of the warm room to say goodbye and on the way back to the village, the cold wind of the winter night made her mind clearer.

Du Yishui said, half drunk and half awake, "Aren't we leaving?"

"I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay in Jiangnan for a few more days."

Since the other party has already made a move, it will be sooner or later that the fox tail will be exposed. She has to wait and see how things develop.

They continued to live in Jiangnan, disguised themselves and went in and out of restaurants and fun places every day.

That day, they had dinner at a famous restaurant by the river.

"Hey, have you heard? Princess Chen is still alive. It is said that someone saw her with their own eyes."

"Is this true? Could it be a ghost?"

"I heard that he is on his way to Beijing to meet an old friend."

"Tsk tsk, the people in the capital really know how to have fun. I wonder what the expression of that person in the palace will be."

"Is it the rekindling of old love, or is it the reunion of enemies with envy?"

……

Perhaps because the emperor is far away, the drinkers are particularly unscrupulous when talking about these things.

While they were eating, everyone at the table listened with their ears pricked up.

Bing Tong even sneered, "I guess quite a few people in Beijing will have nightmares and can't sleep at night."

The three words "Gu Mingyue" still have the same power and deterrent effect after so many years.

Jiang Xue Ning slowly finished the sake in her cup and said in an obscure voice, "Sure enough, the human heart is scarier than ghosts."

After they had their fill of meal and visited the night market and returned to the farm, they received the message that the old lady had sent them.

The Lord of Baidu City, along with a mysterious woman, was on his way to Beijing with his men, and the outside world was speculating that the woman was the "Gu Mingyue" who was still alive in the rumors.

It is difficult to distinguish what is true from what is false, and amidst the various opinions, many forces have taken action.

Bingtong played a song to soothe her heart. Jiang Xuening leaned against the window, looking at the white snow on the branches under the moonlight, with a lonely expression on her face.

When the song ended, Bing Tong asked, "Should we retreat bravely or forge ahead against the wind?"

Jiang Xue Ning sighed, "I don't want to choose either. I'm tired and just want to get drunk in the misty rain of Jiangnan."

Bingtong blinked and said incredulously, "So you get tired too."

Yes, she gets tired too. She is a human, not a god.

Every time she reunites with old friends, it is a chaos for her.
