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

News came from the palace that there would be a huge fireworks display on New Year's Eve this year to celebrate with the people.

Therefore, this year's New Year's Eve was particularly lively. On the way to the palace, Jiang Xue Ning lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look. Red lanterns were hung everywhere, and there were fireworks and people everywhere.

Even Bingtong, who always loved white clothes, wore brightly colored clothes today, looking particularly bright.

Jiang Xue Ning said, "The more grand and lively it seems on the surface, the more undercurrents are surging underneath."

During this period, Helian Mu was very active, winning over court officials and frequently going to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager.

Anyone with an eye could see what he was planning.

Bing Tong said coldly, "It would be better if dogs bite each other and kill each other."

The New Year’s Eve banquet was held in Liuguang Hall, with bright lights, singing and dancing, and it was extremely lively.

Jiang Xue Ning's seat was almost the best and the most front row on the women's side. This time, everyone looked at her with a little more awe.

She sat down with her icy eyes, and saw Helian Mu, who was blending in well with the court officials.

"He was afraid that he wasn't high-profile enough and Helian Xuan wouldn't be able to see his evil ambitions."

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress Dowager has arrived..."

The eunuch's sharp voice sounded, and everyone knelt down to welcome the emperor.

"Everyone loves you!"

She glanced at the main seat and saw Helian Xuan wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, looking full of energy and spirit.

He said a few polite words in high spirits and the banquet soon began.

Jiang Xue Ning and Bing Tong enjoyed the singing and dancing while drinking. They enjoyed themselves to the fullest, knowing that such a lively atmosphere would be hard to come by in the future.

The singing and dancing ended, and the dishes were served one after another. People kept toasting Helian Xuan, and the court officials also complimented each other and exchanged ideas, creating a harmonious scene.

Helian Mu stood up and brought a glass of wine to the emperor, "Brother, I want to toast you. We haven't had a drink together for many years."

Helian Xuan accepted it with pleasure, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. He reached out and patted his shoulder, "You have governed Yandi very well, I am very pleased."

"Pour some wine for Prince Yu, I will have a drink with him."

The senior palace maid beside Helian Xuan immediately picked up the wine glass, poured one glass for Helian Xuan first, and then poured one glass for Helian Mu.

"drink!"

Helian Mu's pupils trembled, staring at the wine pot in Gong Li's hand, and knocked over the wine in Helian Xuan's hand, "Brother, don't drink it, the wine is poisonous!"

When these words came out, all the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jiang Xue Ning stared at the wine glass in Helian Mu's hand that was thrown to the ground, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Someone come quickly, there's an assassination attempt!"

Helian Mu shouted loudly and nervously. The Yulin Army and the Jinyiwei came together, and the lively banquet suddenly became tense.

The palace maid who had just poured the wine fell to her knees and trembled.

Xiao Wuji knelt on one knee and asked, "Your Majesty, who assassinated you?"

Helian Xuan leaned back and smiled calmly, "Prince Yu was too nervous, and no one tried to assassinate him."

Helian Mu pointed at the wine pot on the table and said, "I have had the honor of seeing this wine pot before. It is a Yin-Yang pot. It can hold normal wine on one side and poison wine on the other. All you need to do is gently turn your wrist to twist the mechanism while pouring the wine."

Everyone was shocked that poisoned wine appeared at the state banquet.

Helian Mu pointed at the maid angrily, "Do you want to murder me or His Majesty? Who ordered you to do that?"

Helian Xuan still said calmly, "This is not the Yin-Yang Pot. My brother, you are too nervous."

"Brother, don't be fooled... there is poison in the pot..."

Helian Mu reached out to take the wine jug on the table, but Helian Xuan held his hand and stared at him gloomily, "If I say no, then no, do you understand?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the Queen Mother was afraid that her two sons would conflict, so she quickly tried to smooth things over, "Your brother is also worried that something might happen to you, so he is too nervous."

He winked at Helian Mu and said, "Your brother knows what's going on. If he says it's okay, then it's okay."

Helian Mu curled his lips sarcastically, withdrew his hand and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, I wish you a long life, and may you have this day every year."

"You are so thoughtful." Helian Xuan said with an unchanged expression, "Come here, give me a reward!"

A storm came and went quickly, and was easily resolved. Eunuch Zhou brought people to quickly clean up the spilled wine and put new cups and wine jugs on the table.

The atmosphere finally became heavy and no longer as lively as before.

Fortunately, the time was almost up, Helian Xuan said, "The fireworks will start soon, you can watch them at your own will."

He stood up, and the ministers followed him up the tall building to watch the fireworks. Jiang Xue Ning and the other female relatives followed the Queen Mother up the other side of the building.

The Empress Dowager was old and had no energy to join in the fun, so she returned to the palace to rest.

After climbing up the high building, everyone dispersed. At this happy moment, the Queen Mother did not restrain everyone.

Jiang Xue Ning and Bing Tong walked to the side, leaned on the railing and looked up at the sky.

Bing Tong said softly with regret, "That cup of poisoned wine was prepared for Helian Mu, right? We could have seen him die on the spot."

Jiang Xue Ning let the cold wind blow past her, dispersing the smell of alcohol, and chuckled, "It's impossible that he prepared a poisoned wine for me. It's a pity that they didn't fight on the spot."

It was unknown whether Helian Xuan was testing him on purpose or Helian Mu had received the news in advance. The drama of poisoning his brother in public ended in such an unclear and hasty manner.

Zhongqiu came over and the three of them stood in a corner. The others were busy in groups and had no time to pay attention to them.

Zhongqiu lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty's health is getting worse, and he is taking the Immortal Powder more and more frequently."

After what happened tonight, she thought he really wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Helian Mu and stir up a bloody storm.

Jiang Xue Ning snorted coldly, "I don't know whether I hope he dies sooner or later."

"It's better to die later. At least die in my hands."

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Countless fireworks bloomed in the sky, lighting up the entire night sky, which was very beautiful.

The people were excited, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people rejoicing, with happy smiles on their faces.

Looking at the fireworks all over the sky, their emotions were also infected.

Zhongqiu was the first to smile and say, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Tonight should be the last peaceful and prosperous night, just like the fireworks in the sky, it will be gone in a flash.

The fireworks lasted for a whole hour. When the last one ended, the sky suddenly lost its color and became dark, which made people feel melancholy.

It was getting late, and everyone left one after another. She held Zhongqiu's hand and whispered, "Be careful, no matter what happens, you must take care of yourself and stay alive."

"Don't worry about me, but you. The day of entering the palace is approaching, so you have to be careful about the current situation."

She originally wanted to stop her from entering the palace, but things had already come to this point and it was difficult to back out.

The New Year's Eve, which was as illusory and beautiful as fireworks, ended, and the palace was drained of wine and everyone left.
