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

In the turbulent atmosphere, Jiang Xue Ning went to Meilon Temple in a low-key manner. On the surface, she was going to burn incense and pray for blessings, but in fact she was going to make a connection.

When she arrived at Meilon Temple, she first burned three incense sticks, praying that everything would go well.

Hua Yan was waiting for her at the door, "So you still believe in Buddhism."

"Just to seek peace of mind."

Hua Yan led her the way, "Mr. Ji, Prince Yu's confidant, is waiting for you in the backyard."

After she pretended to agree to cooperate with Helian Mu, the two sides had been in secret contact. He fled in a hurry on New Year's Eve, and she was sure that he might come looking for her.

Entering the courtyard deep in the plum forest, I saw a man in blue clothes brewing wine and playing the piano under a plum tree, looking very carefree.

Hua Yan said with a smile, "Mr. Ji, the princess is here."

Ji Ci poured her a glass of freshly brewed wine, "Meilong Temple is such a beautiful place, but it turns out to be the princess's territory. The princess is really capable."

"Sir, you are so complimentary."

Ji Ci himself was very curious about this princess who was rumored to be scheming, so he took on this task to find out the truth.

Jiang Xue Ning sat down, drank half a cup of warm wine, and asked with concern, "Is Prince Yu okay?"

"It's safe now." Ji Ci said with a smile, "It's just that the incident happened so suddenly and I left too hastily, so many things are not arranged properly."

Sending troops to capture the king requires a legitimate reason. Especially since Helian Mu and the emperor are brothers, a legitimate reason is needed.

At present, the banner of "the emperor poisoned" him is not very popular. In the eyes of the people and in public opinion, he has been labeled a traitor.

He needed a reason that would allow him to march into Shengjing and sit on the throne without any stain.

Apparently he had chosen his reason.

Jiang Xue Ning knew very well that he wanted to use her, but she still took the initiative to ask, "What does Prince Yu need me to do?"

Ji Ci felt that he couldn't quite see through the woman in front of him, but he knew clearly that she was not a good person to have come to this point.

"The prince means that he hopes to kill him on the day the princess and His Majesty get married!"

"Of course we will provide assistance, you just need to cooperate."

"Hahahahahaha, Prince Yu really dares to speak like that. Does he think I'm a fool?" Jiang Xue Ning said with cold eyes, "In this way, I will become the sinner who kills the king, and he can enter the capital with a legitimate reason and take the throne with a clean conscience."

Sure enough, he was very clear-headed and pointed out the essence directly.

Ji Ci pondered and said, "When the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely not treat the princess or the Gu family unfairly."

"The pie looks good, but when he really becomes king, you may not be able to enjoy it." Jiang Xue Ning raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said sarcastically, "Do you know how the Gu family and my cousin Gu Mingyue died?"

"After Helian Xuan ascended to the throne and ruled the world, the first thing he did was to kill the person next to him."

"To get something for nothing, Prince Yu is too insincere. If that's all, there's nothing to talk about."

Jiang Xuening stood up and said simply, "Qinghe, let's go."

After testing her for a while, Ji Ci immediately realized that she was not easy to fool and quickly said, "Princess, please stay. I didn't explain it clearly."

Jiang Xue Ning sat down again and said with a half-smile, "Then sir, you must show your sincerity, otherwise there is no point in discussing this."

Helian Mu certainly knew that the request he made was difficult, so he specifically instructed that no matter what request Jiang Xue Ning made, he should agree to it first.

Ji Ci said sincerely, "This matter is indeed very dangerous, so if the princess needs anything, please feel free to ask. As long as the prince can do it, it will be fine."

Jiang Xue Ning was waiting for this sentence, "I do have a request."

"Princess, please speak."

"Help me save someone."

Ji Ci's mind was slightly moved. This person must be not simple and not easy to save. A name quickly flashed through his mind, "Is it Duan Xilou?"

Jiang Xue Ning praised without sincerity, "Mr. Ji, you are really smart."

Ji Ci did not agree immediately, but said in embarrassment, "Duan Xilou is imprisoned in a dark cell and is about to be executed by slow slicing. It is not easy to save him."

She chuckled, "If it's hard to save people, then is it easy to kill the emperor?"

Ji Ci was speechless. This request was somewhat unexpected. He did not dare to make a decision on his own and could only say, "I will send a message to ask the prince and then make a decision."

She didn't rush for an answer but just said, "I only have this one request. If Your Majesty can't do it, then there's nothing to discuss."

"I will definitely convey the princess's intention."

Before leaving, Ji Ci couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did the princess choose to save her?"

It was such a rare opportunity, and he was prepared for her to ask for a huge sum of money, but in the end she wanted to save Duan Xilou.

Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "There's not so many reasons, because he's worth it."

Ji Ci couldn't help but glance at her for a while, "It's really worth it, that's the Jade-faced General Duan Xilou."

As he walked out, he thought that this princess was actually not like the rumors said. She was too calm and rational, and it was difficult to see through her.

After the others had gone far away, Hua Yan said, "Will Helian Mu agree? We have been searching for so long, but still can't find the exact location of the secret cell."

"He must have a way, otherwise it would be too useless." Jiang Xue Ning said confidently, "Before he was crowned king and went to Yandi, as the youngest son of the Empress, he had always been favored. As a prince who grew up in the palace, it is impossible for him to know everything that outsiders don't know."

The secret prison was used by successive emperors of Xiling to imprison some people who were not allowed to see the light of day, so it has always been very secretive and has never been opened to the public.

There were only two months left until the chosen auspicious date, and only half a month until Duan Xilou was executed.

There was not much time left for her, so she set her sights on Helian Mu.

"Tsk tsk, Helian Mu dares to cooperate with you, which is like seeking the skin of a tiger." Hua Yan couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune, "But in his heart, he must think he is very wise. You are just a woman, and it's easy to take you over if you give him some benefits."

Jiang Xue Ning said cautiously, "Just in case, notify our people to make preparations. If we can't rescue him, we can only execute him on the execution ground."

This is quite disadvantageous for them, as they have only a few elite men hiding in the capital. If they rob the execution ground, I am afraid the losses will be very serious.

Since Helian Xuan chose to release this bait, there will be no shortage of people arranging the execution ground on the day of the execution.

So she still hoped that Helian Mu would be more capable and could solve the problem in other ways instead of going to the stage of robbing the execution ground.

As the two were talking, Hua Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "The big enemy is here, you should comfort him."

After saying that, he patted her shoulder and left.

Jiang Xue Ning turned around and met Zuo Musheng's resentful eyes.

"Um...wanna come drink together?"

Zuo Musheng asked with full of resentment, "With the Queen of Yunzhou in front and the Emperor in the back, your life is really interesting."
