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

"Something happened to my empress!"

"The old master and the young master have been thrown into the Heavenly Prison by His Majesty!"

Xiao Linglong loosened her grip and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, spilling scalding hot tea.

Vanilla said nervously, "My lady, are you okay?"

"The Gu family in the past is now the Xiao family. The emperor has always been ruthless." Xiao Linglong said with a wry smile, "Since the sixth uncle was killed in Xiangchu, the Xiao family has lost its biggest trump card."

She closed her eyes in despair and asked someone to find out what happened.

Since the day Xiao Qiluo entered the palace but disappeared without a reason, and the Xiao family frequently went to the palace to ask Xiao Linfeng for an explanation, she had a bad feeling in her heart and was always uneasy.

Before the people who inquired about the news came back, Madam Xiao came into the palace crying and said, "My queen, you can't just leave your father and elder brother alone. Go and beg His Majesty."

Xiao Linglong got a headache from her crying, and finally dragged her weak body to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I beg to see you!"

Soon, the chief eunuch Gao Gonggong came out and said respectfully, "His Majesty said that the queen has just recovered from a serious illness and should return to the palace to recuperate."

This was what it meant to disappear. Xiao Linglong knelt down in front of the imperial study with an expressionless face. The strong sunlight made her dizzy.

She didn't know how long she knelt. When she couldn't hold on any longer and was about to collapse, Eunuch Gao came out again and said, "Your Majesty, please come in and talk to your majesty."

She had been kneeling for so long that her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up. It was Vanilla who helped her up and she stumbled into the imperial study.

Xiao Linfeng was reading a memorial and asked without even looking up, "Why do you have to see me today?"

After she bowed, she sat down on the chair. After a pause, she spoke, "His Majesty has thrown my father and elder brother into prison."

"Humph, they are extremely rebellious and are committing treason." Xiao Linfeng put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head and said coldly, "They actually tried to threaten me with the grace of raising me!"

It can be said that this touched his reverse scale. He did not have the heart to fight for the world at the beginning. It was because he grew up in the Xiao family that they forced him to take this path.

He has lost too much on this road and there is no turning back.

However, the Xiao family thought they had done him a favor and wanted more. This was simply wishful thinking.

Xiao Linglong looked at his expression and smiled bitterly, "So Your Majesty thinks that the Xiao family deserves what they have sown?"

"Is not it?"

She met his gaze and said sarcastically and firmly, "Your Majesty, you must hate the Xiao family. You deliberately planned for Sixth Uncle to go to Xiangchu. From the day you ascended the throne, the Xiao family was doomed to perish!"

"I didn't expect Xiao Beirao to be so useless!" He sneered, "I asked him to go to Xiangchu because I wanted him to hold Jiang Xuening back."

"No matter what happens, you won't lose. I have learned a lot from the emperor's schemes."

She guessed that the reason why King Xiangchu killed Xiao Beirao so cleanly and efficiently was that he had seen through his scheme and therefore chose to burn his boats.

If Xiao Beirao could hold back Jiang Xue Ning, the Xiao family could still survive, but unfortunately they were defeated miserably.

Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "Over the years, the Xiao family has done something for their own ambitions. You know it in your hearts."

His attitude was cold and resolute, and she couldn't even utter the words to beg him.

She just said in a daze, "Since Your Majesty hates the Xiao family so much, when will you depose me?"

"I said that you are very suitable for the position of queen, so there is no plan for the time being."

She felt that this palace was about to wear her out, and she didn't like the Xiao family. But she was a daughter of the Xiao family after all, and she couldn't watch the Xiao family perish.

"It's not that I'm fit to be the queen, but that you need me as a tool to help you cover up your physical defects."

Having come to this point, she was willing to take risks and say anything.

Xiao Linfeng came over and pinched her chin, his expression extremely dangerous, "No matter what happens to the Xiao family, as long as you are a qualified queen, I will not treat you badly, nor will I treat Madam Xiao badly."

"Is this a threat?"

Of course, the person she cared about most in the Xiao family was Madam Xiao. The anger in her heart suddenly dissipated, and she said disheartenedly, "Were you so ruthless when you planned to wipe out the entire Gu family?"

"When you heard the news of Gu Mingyue's death, did you cry, or did you remain indifferent?"

"Does someone like you have a heart?"

Xiao Linfeng let her go, "You talk too much. The Xiao family's affairs have nothing to do with you, and it's not something you can influence."

"Go back. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Madam Xiao."

Finally, she left the imperial study in a daze and walked towards the palace in a daze.

"No wonder someone set fire to the palace when the previous emperor died. This place is indeed a sinful place that shouldn't exist."

Unfortunately, Xiao Linfeng came to power and moved to another place, where a new imperial palace was built. Now she is like a lonely soul in this palace.

Vanilla was frightened by her words, "My lady, you can't say that."

Xiao Linglong lowered her eyes and suppressed the coldness in her eyes. It would be great if she could set fire to this place right now.

Madam Xiao saw her coming back and asked quickly, "What did your Majesty say?"

"The Xiao family is finished..."

Madam Xiao immediately wailed, "He is such a heartless man. He grew up in the Xiao family, how could he treat the Xiao family like this? I want to talk to him about reason, is he going to turn his back on me?"

Xiao Linglong's face turned pale. "If you've had enough of living, go ahead!"

"But...how could he do this?" Madam Xiao was so anxious that she turned around and around. "Linglong, think of a solution."

Xiao Linglong said coldly, "When the emperor gets angry, millions of people will die. He is the emperor, and I can't do anything about it even if he wants to kill anyone."

Madam Xiao couldn't accept this cruel thing. She held her chest and fell into a chair. "How could this happen... The Xiao family is about to prosper."

"Oh, from Xiao Shujin to Sixth Uncle, including the Saint Qiluo whom you worship as a god, haven't you let me see the reality clearly?" She said calmly and numbly, "The emperor is ruthless, what is the Xiao family in front of the imperial power!"

After crying, Madam Xiao began to worry again, "What should we do in the future?"

"Don't worry about the Xiao family's affairs. I'll be able to protect you as long as I'm here."

There was a hint of ominousness in her words. Mrs. Xiao looked at her carefully and found that she had lost a lot of weight, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.

"Linglong, you are the only one I have, you must be well."

"I'll be fine."

She responded like this, but there was no light in her eyes. Mrs. Xiao was panicked and didn't dare to say anything more.

After Madam Xiao went to the side hall to rest, Xiao Linglong sneered, "I will risk my life to accompany him to the end..."

She wanted to see what the end would be for someone like him.

She glanced at the bright sunlight outside and murmured a curse, "Prince Xiang, I'm looking forward to the day when you come charging in."

She wanted to see what expression the ruthless emperor would have when facing his former love.
