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

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.

As spring arrives quietly and people's hearts are wandering, the royal family holds a grand spring festival as usual to pray for good weather and a good harvest this year.

The emperor will personally attend the spring sacrifice in the eastern suburbs with his ministers. Jiang Xue Ning, as the "future queen", has also been chosen to attend the spring sacrifice.

She was wearing a cotton dress and had her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. She only brought Qinghe and Caiyue with her, as the others had other important things to do.

When the sun was at its highest point in the sky, the carriage arrived at the imperial manor in the eastern suburbs. As soon as we got off the carriage, Zhongqiu came to greet us and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Spring Festival is about to begin, he seems to be quite free."

Faintly one can hear the sounds of people singing and dancing coming from the farmlands and the square. Spring is here and all things are reviving, and everyone is excited.

Zhong Qiu walked in side by side with her, whispering, "The annual spring festival should be presided over by His Majesty and the Queen. But now there is no queen in the palace, so he wants you to join him."

Of course she didn't want to. She felt uncomfortable at the thought of doing these things with him.

Entering the courtyard where Helian Xuan lived, Helian Xuan was dressed very plainly today. He leaned on the seat and took a nap. He opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.

His eyes were fixed on Jiang Xue Ning's face in a trance, and he said in a soft voice, half asleep and half awake, "Yang Yang, you're here..."

Her heart trembled, and her eyes were filled with disgust. She lowered her eyes to hide her coldness. There were not many people in this world who would call her Yangyang, and he was one of them.

When they were newlyweds, they were in love with each other. At that time, he always liked to call her Yangyang.

She said indifferently, "Your Majesty, you have the wrong person."

Helian Xuan smiled and said with a sense of loss, "It's all my fault for being sleepy. Come with me to the Spring Festival later."

"This is against the rules." Jiang Xue Ning coughed twice. "I'm not feeling well today and I have nightmares every night. I'm not in the right condition for the Spring Festival. It would be bad if it brings bad luck."

This kind of large-scale sacrifice is all about a good omen. After she said this, Helian Xuan couldn't force it.

Helian Xuan just looked at her with a half-smile, "You seem to be reluctant to be with me, you'd better get used to it, after all, you will be entering the palace soon."

Jiang Xue Ning lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty is a dragon, how dare this servant despise you?"

He chuckled, "I don't care whether you mean it sincerely or not, but the Queen of Xiling must always walk side by side with me, sharing life and death with me."

Jiang Xue Ning curled her lips, feeling only irony. She wanted to sneer at him, but she held back and said nothing.

Zhongqiu came out to smooth things over, "The Spring Festival is about to begin, I will take the princess down to rest."

Helian Xuan nodded and was not embarrassed.

After walking around the imperial farm, she found that there were a lot of Yulin soldiers today, but unfortunately she didn't see the elusive Qianji.

Zhong Qiu noticed her gaze and explained, "Empress Xiao had an accident during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the guards are extra strict this time."

Soon the Spring Festival began. It was bustling outside the Spring Temple with people bringing spring flowers and whipping spring oxen.

As soon as Jiang Xue Ning arrived at the square outside the palace, a woman from the imperial farm put spring flowers on her head. She pinned several beautiful flowers in her hair.

After the people sang and danced to welcome the God of Spring, the emperor dressed in green appeared with Zhongqiu. Under the gaze of the people, they presented flowers, fruits, and grains to the God of Spring in the Temple of Spring.

The emperor personally burned incense, and the sacrificial officials beside him sang sacrificial words, praying for peace in the country and a good harvest.

The sacrificial ceremony was extremely lively, and afterward the emperor would personally go to the fields to plant crops to show his closeness to the people.

After watching the sacrifice, she had no interest in Helian Xuan's farming and just watched from afar under a tree beside the field.

"It was Xiao Shujin who got into trouble. I wonder whose turn it is this time?"

Jiang Xue Ning was startled by the sudden sound, and Xiao Linfeng appeared on the ridge of the field in white clothes.

"Has the former King of Wei now fallen to the point of farming?"

Xiao Linfeng smiled calmly, "There's nothing wrong with farming. Work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise."

Why pretend to be so calm? She couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Xiao Linfeng approached her step by step, with malicious intent in his eyes, "What will you do on the wedding day? Will you kill Helian Xuan, or die with him?"

In any case, he firmly believed that she would not obediently enter the palace to become the queen.

"Sometimes I really don't understand Helian Xuan's thoughts. He knows that marrying you is full of dangers, but he still insists on doing it."

He reached out and took the most beautiful spring flower in her hair. "Tell me, does he treat you as a substitute, or does he treat you as salvation and is obsessed with it?"

Jiang Xue Ning looked up at him, a faint smile on her lips, "What about you? Every time you stared at me so deeply, what did you think of me?"

The wind blew the corners of their clothes, one lowered his head and the other raised his head, from a distance it looked like a suitable position for kissing. The coldness in their eyes was enough to kill each other countless times.

Xiao Linfeng picked up a strand of her hair and said, "One day, I will see through your body and into your soul."

He turned around and glanced at Helian Xuan who was working in the fields, "I want to take back everything that belongs to me."

including her.

Jiang Xue Ning felt a little uneasy and asked tentatively, "Take back everything that belongs to you, including the throne?"

"Shh!"

Xiao Linfeng placed his index finger on her lips and whispered in an ambiguous voice close to her ear, "Then, Princess, who do you hope will win?"

Jiang Xue Ning's eyes turned cold and she pushed him away fiercely, "I hope you all die!"

He was not angry, but said calmly, "Then you are probably disappointed. It will be a life-and-death battle."

"Do whatever you want, I'll be watching from behind."

When everything is settled, she will not be so free. This is his last indulgence to her.

Jiang Xue Ning felt a chill down her spine. Compared to Helian Xuan, Xiao Linfeng was the one who had always been more dangerous.

When the Gu family was wiped out, the Xiao family was the most important driving force behind the scenes.

The mysterious Xiao Jia Qiluo has not been heard from since then. This person seems to have never existed in the Xiao family, but she pushed Xiao Shujin to the position of queen.

Jiang Xue Ning said with an obscure expression, "Has Helian Xuan finally raised a tiger to harm him? The beast has started to bite its master back."

It makes the death of the Gu family seem like a joke. Without the Gu family, the Xiao family came into being. Even if the Xiao family falls, there are still other families.

Aristocratic families and imperial power complement each other, and how to balance the relationship between them is a difficult problem for every emperor.

Obviously Helian Xuan chose the most radical approach and is now suffering the backlash.

Xiao Linfeng said as a matter of course, "It is only a matter of time before an emperor who is addicted to elixirs will lose his country."

She whispered, "I'm really curious, why didn't he execute you directly when the Ninth Princess died."

"What kind of shameful secret do you have between you two?"

Xiao Linfeng looked at her leaving back and said, "You will know soon."

But there were some things he hoped she would never know.
