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

As the carriage traveled through the night, one could still hear the bustling voices of people on the street; no one had gone home to rest yet.

After walking for a while, everything became completely quiet. Jiang Xue Ning also closed her eyes and felt drowsy.

The carriage suddenly shook and stopped, and she opened her eyes suddenly.

Wu Jin's voice rang out, "Someone is blocking the road."

She lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. A luxurious carriage was blocking the way in the middle of the road.

She stood side by side with Bingtong, only to see Helian Mu and Qiao Zhiwan getting off the carriage one after another.

Qiao Zhiwan's eyes were red, and he looked extremely aggrieved. Helian Mu strode over, stared at Bing Tong and said, "Follow me!"

Bing Tong said coldly, "I'm not leaving."

"You have to go. You have been willfully disappearing for so many years. This time, I will not indulge you."

As he said this, he reached out to hold Bingtong's hand. Bingtong flicked her sleeves and the blade in her hand cut his face.

Qiao Zhiwan said distressedly, "Prince..."

Bing Tong said coldly, "If you insist on taking me away, then you will definitely die. You can try it."

Looking at her cold face, Helian Mu was unwilling to give up. He wanted to take her away by force, but he was afraid of her powerful illusion.

Jiang Xue Ning said, "My Lord, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."

Beauty is important, but the country is more important. Helian Mu no longer hesitated, "Tongtong, wait for me to come back and pick you up."

Then, without looking back, he took Qiao Zhi away in the carriage and soon disappeared into the night.

Bing Tong said sarcastically, "Men's love is indeed cold and cheap."

Jiang Xue Ning chuckled, "It's going to be lively tonight."

After the poisoned wine incident at the banquet, she didn't believe that Helian Mu would still dare to chat and continue to stay in Shengjing.

"Send someone to follow and report the situation at any time."

Wu Jin said, "Yes."

Back home, Qinghe cooked hangover soup and midnight snacks. After eating, Jiang Xuening didn't feel sleepy.

Tonight is destined to be restless, and it may even determine the direction of things later in a certain sense, so I am destined to be sleepless.

She believed that there were many people who were sleepless like her.

She and Jiang Li played chess to pass the time. Jiang Li played with the white pieces. "Who do you think will win?"

"If Helian Mu died here, he would be a waste. It would be a waste of his Yandi army."

Jiang Li said in confusion, "Helian Xuan is clearly a ruthless person. The means he used to ascend to power were swift and resolute. This time, he was very passive from beginning to end, which is unlike his usual style."

"Who knows? Maybe he wants to paralyze the enemy, or maybe he is just holding back." Jiang Xue Ning placed a piece, "It doesn't matter. His life is about to come to an end."

Jiang Li hesitated as he still felt that her plan was too risky. He just met her cold eyes and said nothing.

They played three games and the sky gradually brightened.

The first day of the new year slowly began.

Wu Jin came back with a chill in his aura, "Last night, the Jinyiwei and Yulin troops were all dispatched to encircle and suppress Helian Mu.

After chasing them all night, they managed to escape from the city gate."

Jiang Li said, "Helian Xuan is in big trouble. Since you have chosen to take action, you might as well be ruthless and kill him directly."

"He would like to, but unfortunately Helian Mu's army that will soon arrive in Beijing will not agree." Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "No matter what he does, this game is a dead end."

Now that the army has been dispatched, it will certainly not leave without a fight.

"Are there any unusual movements in the Xiao family?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "Ever since Xiao Linfeng was demoted, he has been staying at the Xiao Mansion and rarely goes out."

Helian Mu's hasty escape cast a shadow on the beginning of the new year.

In the palace, after receiving the news, Helian Xuan took people to Yongkang Palace.

The Empress Dowager lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, then asked calmly, "How did the Emperor find time to come?"

"You have not been out for many years, but your methods are still the same."

The Empress Dowager said without changing her expression, "I don't understand what your Majesty is saying."

"You are worthy of being able to reach into the imperial study." Helian Xuan chuckled, "It seems that between me and my brother, you chose my brother."

So he told Helian Mu about the poisoned wine, allowing him to escape.

The Empress Dowager's expression finally showed a little fluctuation, and she looked at her deeply, "From Gu Mingyue to Jiang Xue Ning, are you so unable to resist a woman who is related to the Gu family?"

"Hehe..." Helian Xuan laughed, "Then why do you particularly hate women who are related to the Gu family?"

"Is it because the daughter of the Gu family knows your shameful secret?"

The Queen Mother's voice was tinged with anger. "Your Majesty, be careful with your words. It is better for both you and me that the secret is buried forever."

Helian Xuan sneered, "Since you are old, you should eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures instead of being self-righteous and annoying others."

Although according to seniority, the Empress Dowager was his grandmother, but since they were born in the royal family, there was no grandparent-grandchild relationship between them.

He said mercilessly, "From today on, please stay in Yongkang Palace and do not leave without being summoned."

The Empress Dowager finally lost her temper and said angrily, "Neither the Retired Emperor nor the Late Emperor dared to put me under house arrest!"

"I've said it before, when you get old you should face reality." Helian Xuan said coldly, "You should be thankful that you are the Grand Empress Dowager, otherwise you will be subjected to more than just house arrest."

He left quickly after he finished speaking, and the gate of Yongkang Palace was closed and guarded.

The Buddhist beads in the hands of the Grand Empress Dowager fell to the ground. "You have grown so powerful that you dare to treat me like this."

Madam Zhou advised softly, "The situation outside is unclear right now, so this is fine."

I don’t know who will win or lose if the two brothers fight, so it’s better to just stay quiet and not do anything too extreme.

The Empress Dowager sneered, "Just wait and see. If he insists on marrying Jiang Xue Ning as his queen, he won't have a good ending."

She has met countless people in her life, and the meeting with Jiang Xue Ning left her with a very bad impression.

It was not a good thing for the royal family for such an ambitious and ruthless woman to ascend to the throne, but Helian Xuan was like a possessed person and insisted on having his own way.

Of course, the reason why she made up her mind to side with Helian Mu was because Helian Xuan had been contaminated by the magic powder.

Any emperor who gets involved with these things will not live long and will have a bad ending.

The news that the Empress Dowager was under house arrest soon spread, causing another uproar.

It just happened to be the New Year holiday, so there was no place for the ministers to argue. Several ministers asked to see Helian Xuan, but were directly rejected.

The common people did not understand why and continued to celebrate the New Year happily. However, the nobles were all in a state of distress.

Half a month passed like this, and urgent news came from Youzhou City - 250,000 troops were approaching the city.

The whole of Shengjing was in uproar, and even the drunkards were awakened by the shock.

Once Youzhou City is captured, it will only take half a month for the army to march straight into the capital.

People who were still immersed in beautiful visions were suddenly awakened.
