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

The Yan army and the imperial army fought for more than half a month, with heavy casualties and both sides winning and losing.

Helian Mu received news that the Northern Rong, who had been very peaceful in recent years, had suddenly attacked Yandi. He was so angry that he was forced to withdraw his troops to support Yandi. After all, Yandi was where he started his career. He could not lose Yandi after the long siege of the capital.

But he did not withdraw completely, he only retreated more than ten cities and retreated to Jiangzhou. He divided the land of Xiling with Qingtian River as the boundary, and governed it across the river from the imperial court.

Xiao Linfeng did not take the opportunity to pursue, as he had just come to power and needed time to stabilize internal affairs.

Qiao Zhiwan was so angry that he vomited blood and became seriously ill in bed. It was obviously possible to return the money, but the Qiao family lost everything.

Helian Mu said gently, "I need to lead my troops back to Yandi in a hurry. You are not feeling well and cannot follow me, so you should stay in Jiangzhou to recuperate for the time being."

She nodded weakly, not in the mood to say more. The passionate love she had felt before suddenly cooled down in an instant.

Helian Mu didn't have time to coax her or comfort her. He just left a sentence "Have a good rest" and prepared to set off with his army.

Mrs. Qiao came with her daughter Qiao Xue. She said with red eyes, "Xue'er has nightmares every night. She was scared by what happened on the city wall that day. She always cries in her dreams at night."

She propped herself up and took a look. Qiao Xue had lost a lot of weight. Sitting there, she looked like she had lost her soul. Such a good little girl, but it made people feel sad.

"Sister-in-law...I am sorry for you..."

"Success or failure is all determined by fate..." Sister Qiao wiped her tears and said, "I came here to ask the princess for a favor."

Qiao Zhiwan also wanted to do something for them, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, just tell me."

Sister Qiao touched Qiao Xue's head lovingly, "Xue'er's condition is too bad. Since the prince is going back to Yandi, I want to take Xue'er with him.

Go somewhere else and recuperate slowly, leave this nightmare-like place, and maybe she will get better slowly."

This request was not excessive. If she had not been sick, she would have taken them back to Yandi.

She quickly responded, "I'll have someone talk to the prince."

This was not an excessive request, so Helian Mu naturally agreed.

As agreed, Second Sister Qiao took her two children to stay in Jiangzhou to take care of Qiao Zhiwan, so that the two could communicate if any changes or disturbances occurred.

Sister-in-law Qiao looked at the flower-like Qiao Xue and said with reluctance, "Sister-in-law, do you really want to do this?"

Qiao Xue said with a determined look, "This is the path I chose for myself. I won't regret it."

"I am different from Qiao Zhiwan."

When it was just getting light in the sky, Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Xue followed the army and rode in a carriage towards Yan.

Mrs. Qiao patted her two daughters' heads and said, "You two should grow up quickly so that you can protect your eldest sister in the future."

Qiao Xue is the eldest sister of their generation. After the Qiao family encountered great changes, she chose a thorny path and took on heavy burdens.

In the mansion, the maid tiptoed in and reported, "Princess, the eldest lady and the eldest lady have already left with the army."

Qiao Zhiwan nodded, and coughed twice with a pale face, "I hope that after going to Yandi, they can slowly come out of it..."

What she didn't know was that the gears of fate had begun to turn.

She regretted her decision day and night after that.

In Shengjing, because most of the imperial palace was burned down, Xiao Linfeng temporarily moved into the Royal Forest Park.

After the Yan army withdrew, he brought new joy to Shengjing with a grand wedding.

Internal affairs did need someone to manage, and many people coveted the position of queen, so he married Xiao Linglong as his queen.

The wedding looked grand, but it was actually very hasty.

In the wedding hall where dragon and phoenix candles were lit, the two of them sat in silence.

Xiao Linfeng said softly, "Because Helian Xuan passed away not long ago and the government is unstable, so the marriage will not be consummated for the time being."

On the surface, it is to appear that he is kind and righteous, but only he himself knows the actual reason.

Xiao Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "I understand. Your Majesty, please go to bed early."

Just like that, Xiao Linfeng left the queen who was getting married and went to the imperial study.

Xiao Linglong's maid's eyes turned red with anger. "Your Majesty, it's too much to let you stay alone in the empty room on your wedding night."

"Hush!" Xiao Linglong said, "I know you feel sorry for me, but things are different now. You should be careful about your words and actions from now on."

Xiangcao is the daughter of her nanny, and the two grew up together. Everyone else thinks that it is a great blessing for Xiao Linglong to be the queen, but only Xiangcao feels sorry for her.

"He has always had a strange temper, and now he has become the emperor... I am afraid that you will be wronged..."

Xiao Linglong is a careful and smart person. Ever since she realized her family's plan, she has actually put a lot of energy into Xiao Linfeng.

So that when this day really comes, I will be able to respond.

She looked at the burning candle and said, "Third brother has never had a woman around him in these years. Mother sent him many women, but he didn't touch any of them."

Considering his age, Xiao Linfeng is already in his thirties, so normally his children should be grown up.

He was very clean around him and seemed never to be obsessed with love.

Xiangcao said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Your Majesty has been obsessed with that woman named Xinyi all these years?"

She tried to recall it and asked in confusion, "Is that Concubine Xin that good?"

In these years, there has only been one woman around Xiao Linfeng, the former Concubine Xin. Xiao Linfeng used to love her very much, but later Concubine Xin disappeared for no reason.

After that, Xiao Linfeng seemed to be hurt by love and stayed away from women.

But Xiao Linglong felt something was wrong, she was young and the younger sister, and her mother wanted her to be close to Xiao Linfeng, so she often went to his yard to play, and naturally she had dealt with that concubine Xin.

Looking back now, there are many things that are wrong. However, due to the passage of time, many things are difficult to verify.

She felt vaguely uneasy and had some guesses.

She said to Xiangcao, "Go back and tell mother to find a way to find the people who served Aunt Xin in the past and tell them that I have something to ask."

Although Mrs. Xiao was confused about some things, she only had one daughter, so she loved her very much and protected her in everything.

The next day, Xiangcao returned to the Xiao Mansion with a bunch of rewards. Mrs. Xiao became anxious when she knew that her daughter had not consummated her marriage with Xiao Linfeng.

During the seven days of Xiao Linfeng's marriage, he would take time out every day to have meals with Xiao Linglong. He also handed over the power of the harem to her and rewarded her with many things.

It seemed that he doted on her very much, and considering the relationship between them, no one dared to look down on Xiao Linglong as the queen.

Only Xiao Linglong herself knew that they had never consummated their marriage. They seemed close, but in fact they were distant.

Her face remained calm, showing no dissatisfaction, but she felt exhausted and hopeless in her heart.

She had just entered the palace, but she had the illusion that she was beginning to wither.
