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

In a blink of an eye, tomorrow is the wedding day. Although the palace is decorated with red silk and red lanterns, it is inexplicably deserted.

The teaching nanny was ordered to teach her the etiquette and personnel matters of her wedding. Jiang Xue Ning was dressed in white, and her face did not show any joy or shyness for her upcoming wedding.

She took the booklet she handed over and threw it on the table without even looking at it, "I know."

The nanny opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Jiang Xue Ning just stood up and left.

She went to the small Buddhist temple in the backyard, where there were densely packed tablets enshrined for her Gu family.

She lit the longevity lamp herself and knelt down on the mat. She said piously and calmly, "Dad, Mom, brother... Tomorrow is the day when the Gu family will get their revenge."

Don’t even think about running away. Pay back everything you owe her and the Gu family!

On the last night of her wedding, she knelt alone in the Buddhist temple in white, and the past scenes flashed through her mind like a fleeting video.

Outside the palace, on the tall building opposite.

Xiao Linfeng stood facing the wind, looking down at the brilliant lights in the palace.

Sang Yu appeared behind him, "What are you thinking about?"

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready."

Sang Yu leaned against the railing and looked out, his voice somewhat ethereal as he said, "I remember the night before the incident at the Gu family, you also stood alone in the dark for the entire night."

After Gu Mingyue died, he was calm instead. He was so calm that it was hard to tell who was behind him. Then he rose to a higher position with lightning speed, and was crowned the King of Wei with great power.

He never asked himself if he regretted it later, because some roads cannot be turned back once you have taken them.

Xiao Linfeng looked dazed for a moment, and said tiredly, "This is the last leg of our journey. We can only succeed and not fail."

If he fails, everything he has given up along the way will become a joke.

Now is the time for him to go all in.

The palace's high priest Kong Ling observed the stars at night and saw a faint red and white aura surrounding the Emperor Star, which was a very bad omen.

He thought sarcastically that just based on the people who came in through the secret passage and hid in the Zhaixing Tower, they could predict that there would be a bloody storm after dawn.

At midnight, a meteor suddenly fell from the sky. It was a dreamlike sight that only occurs once in a century.

The stars fell like rain, illuminating the earth. Anyone lucky enough to see this scene will never forget it.

But no one expected that this would be the last prosperous era of the Xiling Dynasty. After that, the Xiling Dynasty fell completely like this meteor and entered a new era of chaos.

Sikong Ling respectfully divined the last hexagram for Xiling, which indicated the destruction of the country and the demise of the monarch.

He disrupted the hexagram with a loud noise, looked at the still falling rain of stars, and after a moment of melancholy, he felt completely relieved.

He can observe the stars, see through the heavens and predict some things, but he can't change anything except making people anxious and painful.

"I hope that fewer lives will be lost and a new era of prosperity will come sooner after the chaos."

A trace of blood spread from the corner of his mouth, and the hair on his temples slowly turned white. He had been fortune-telling too frequently recently, and it backfired.

This was his last night as the high priest of Xiling, and also his last divination.

From now on, he will no longer practice astronomy and fortune-telling, nor will he be the high priest of Xiling.

After watching the meteor shower, he staggered downstairs and went back to his room to change out of the high priest's clothes.

In the palace, many concubines who could not sleep at night watched the meteor shower with a look of longing on their faces.

Zhongqiu was also standing outside the Fengluan Palace watching. The falling meteor was beautiful but short-lived.

"Let's go into the hall for a final confirmation and inspection."

She was a high-ranking concubine in charge of the harem, so she was naturally busy with the emperor and empress's wedding. Even everything in the Fengluan Palace was arranged by her and her people.

She stood in the hall filled with red dragons and phoenixes, and felt her eyes stung with pain. "The person who deserved all this the most never got it from beginning to end."

Jin Ling said softly, "Not having it may not be a bad thing."

As a female official, she naturally had to read history books to understand the truth. Whether it was official history or unofficial history, few empresses had a good ending.

Zhong Qiu smiled with relief, "You are right, he doesn't deserve it."

It would be nice not to have Gu Mingyue as his queen and not to have to live and die with him.

Zhongqiu was very tired from preparing for the wedding, but she was excited mentally. Everything was finally coming to an end, and she could finally leave here freely.

She drank half a cup of strong tea and took Jin Ling to make the final arrangements. She walked on the bluestone road in the deep palace, her long skirt trailing.

She felt unusually calm and relaxed. She thought this was the last time she would walk through the palace at night.

In the Jinluan Palace, Helian Xuan watched the meteor shower despite a headache and sneered, "Do you think it is a good omen or a bad omen?"

Eunuch Zhou personally brought the prepared medicine to the table and carefully answered, "Should we call the high priest to ask?"

"No, there's no point in asking."

He drank the medicine in the bowl and took two packets of magic powder. Only then did his headache slowly ease.

"Accompany me to Yongkang Palace to meet the Grand Empress Dowager."

Eunuch Zhou, who was usually calm, couldn't help but tremble his hands under his sleeves.

He straightened up slowly. When he first entered the palace, he was just a bullied eunuch. He worked hard to climb up and was assigned to Helian Xuan, who was still a prince.

As Helian Xuan grew up, he got married, became a king, and finally became an emperor. His life became better and better, and he became the eunuch in front of the emperor. He was in great glory, and everyone had to treat him with a good face.

His life's honor and disgrace are linked to Helian Xuan. Having been with him for so many years, now that things have come to this point, he can probably guess what he is thinking.

Never mind. He will do his best to accompany him on this final journey.

A group of people went to Yongkang Palace in the night.

In the Yongkang Palace, the Empress Dowager was fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand, feeling extremely uneasy.

"Ah He, what do you think will happen tomorrow?"

The nanny called Ah He gently pressed her forehead and said, "No matter what, you are the Grand Empress Dowager, and that's enough."

"Yeah, that's enough."

She grew from a young girl to an old woman with gray hair, and saw off two emperors before she reached her current position.

She said worriedly, "I always feel like something got out of control at some point."

At this age, she should have been enjoying her retirement, but she was forced to return to the palace because of an old incident. She regretted that she should not have returned to the palace.

"His Majesty is here!"

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes in surprise, "Why is the Emperor here at this hour?"

Helian Xuan walked in alone, looked at the aged Empress Dowager, and smiled strangely, "Sometimes living too long is not necessarily a good thing."

The Empress Dowager said calmly, "The wedding is tomorrow. How can the Emperor have time to visit me if he doesn't have time to rest?"

"Because there are some things I want to ask you, otherwise I won't be able to concentrate on my wedding."
