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

"My lady, the lady was stabbed to death..."

Xiao Linglong looked at Mrs. Xiao who was carried in covered in blood, rushed over and cried out "Mom!" with tears streaming down her face. She fainted with her eyes rolled back due to the shock.

Fengyi Palace suddenly became chaotic, but fortunately Xiao Linfeng quickly brought people to take charge of the situation.

She was waking up, it was already late at night.

Vanilla said with red eyes, "My Lady, you are finally awake."

She leaned against the bed with a pale face and lifeless eyes, "How did mother die?"

"Many years ago, there was a maidservant in the Madam's room named Liuyan. She was beautiful and the master took a fancy to her. She was favored by the master. Later, she broke a taboo and was ordered to be beaten to death by the Madam."

Vanilla said sympathetically, "It was only after she was beaten to death that we discovered she was more than two months pregnant. The Zi Teng who assassinated the lady this time was Liu Yan's sister."

“Hahahaha…” Xiao Linglong cried and laughed.

She knew very well that Madam Xiao was jealous. Because the beautiful young maids in the room had an affair with her father, she had punished them more than once or twice, with punishments ranging from selling them off to beating to death.

However, since those maids were favored by their masters, there was no room for refusal.

She said with heartache and sorrow, "The Xiao family has been rotten from the root..."

But she was the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, and no matter how many faults she had, she always treated her like a treasure. Now she is gone, leaving her alone in this deep palace.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, and Xiangcao said in panic, "I'll go call the imperial physician."

"do not go."

She struggled to get up and went to the mourning hall to keep vigil for Mrs. Xiao. She knelt in front of the hall, and scenes from the past flashed through her mind.

Xiao Linfeng walked in and helped her up. "My condolences. You are pregnant and it is not appropriate for you to kneel for long."

She just thought it was funny that she had to act with him even now.

"If I really have a child, it would be a torment for him to be born into this world."

Fortunately she didn't.

Madam Xiao's body was kept for three days before being carried out and buried in the Xiao family's ancestral tomb. But she didn't even have the right to see her off for the last time, and was trapped in the palace on the grounds that she was too sad and unwell.

She was wearing mourning clothes, standing under the eaves of Fengyi Palace and gazing into the distance. "I am like a bird in a cage, and I will never be able to fly out of the sky."

Perhaps because he was afraid that she would become depressed, Xiao Linfeng specially sent two old maids to accompany her and supervise her at all times.

She was not overly sad, nor did she lose her appetite. She ate and slept on time every day, drank a steady supply of tonics and soothing soups, and she was unexpectedly strong and calm, with a sense of despair.

The unexpected incident occurred on the seventh day after Mrs. Xiao's death. The nanny who was on night watch left a light on for her and only went outside to sleep after making sure that she was soundly asleep.

Everything seemed normal, but Xiao Linfeng woke up from a nightmare as if he had sensed something, and the palace people were instantly alarmed.

He listened to the sound of rain outside and asked uneasily, "How is the Queen these days?"

Eunuch Zhou said, "He is fine. He can eat and sleep well, and he is not too sad."

He frowned slightly, this was not right. Mrs. Xiao was not a good person, but she always held her only daughter in the palm of her hand, and the relationship between mother and daughter was not bad.

Xiao Linglong is a sentimental person at heart, so how could she be so indifferent?

"Go to Fengyi Palace."

He led his men to Fengyi Palace in the wind and rain. The entire Fengyi Palace was awakened and the palace people were at a loss.

Without saying a word, he pushed open the door of the bedroom and walked in. The night watchman knelt down in his coat, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

He rushed into the inner room in a hurry. The room was very quiet, without any movement. He smelled a faint smell of blood.

When I walked over to take a look, I saw that the person on the bed was barely alive, his wrists were cut and blood was all over the bed.

"Send it to the doctor quickly!"

Soon the entire Fengyi Palace was brightly lit and the imperial doctors all arrived.

Xiao Linfeng sat outside without saying a word, his face looking frighteningly cold.

It was not until the daybreak that the head of the Imperial Hospital came out sweating and reported, "Thanks to the efforts of our humble servants, we have managed to save the Empress' life. However, the Empress has lost too much blood. No one can say for sure whether she can survive and wake up."

The matter of her suicide had to be suppressed, and a gag order was placed throughout the entire Imperial Hospital.

Xiao Linfeng walked over, looked at the pale-faced person lying on the bed and said, "Xiao Linglong, if you dare to die, I will send the rest of the Xiao family down to accompany you."

"Xiao Linglong, I order you to wake up!"

She woke up after being in a coma for five days and saw Vanilla's tear-swollen eyes. After another two days of rest, Xiao Linfeng came to see her.

"I heard from the imperial physician that you refused to cooperate with the treatment, didn't take the medicine properly, and refused to eat."

Xiao Linglong leaned weakly against the head of the bed, her eyes dull as if she couldn't hear him and she didn't react at all.

He walked over and sat beside the bed, saying gently yet cruelly, "If you dare to die, I will let the other members of the Xiao family be buried with you. Your youngest niece is only two years old, are you willing to do that?"

Her expression finally showed some movement, and she turned around to look at him and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Linfeng, you are not a human."

"Oh, didn't you know that I'm not human?" He gently pinched her chin, "Anyway, I saved their lives because of you. If you died, they wouldn't have to live.

The ones who stayed behind were her two sisters-in-law and her young niece. They had done nothing wrong, except that they had entered the Xiao family.

She finally made up her mind to die, but was rescued. She could no longer leave selfishly and let innocent people be buried with her.

She closed her eyes in despair, "Is Xiao Linfeng interesting like this?"

"Yes." He said softly, "You must at least stay alive and accompany me to the end. This is what your Xiao family owes me. Because of your Xiao family's ambition, I lost my love and came to this point, almost becoming a lonely person."

"Now, we are the only ones left in the Xiao family. No one is allowed to leave first. We have to rot and stink together in this deep palace."

"madman…"

Xiao Linglong said weakly, but she knew that the madman with a twisted soul in front of her was created by the Xiao family and the Snow Clan. In the end, the Xiao family and the Snow Clan were almost destroyed in his hands. This was probably the cycle of cause and effect.

"So what do you want?" She looked deeply into her eyes, "Do you want the whole world, or do you want her to come back to you?"

Xiao Linfeng's expression was cold for a moment, and he quickly said softly, "If you want to know, then live well and see what happens to me."

"I'm so tired. I don't care whether you're dead or alive."

The little brotherly love she had for him had long been exhausted, and she even hated him.

Although the Xiao family committed serious sins, she couldn't help but hate him. After all, he was the one who destroyed the Xiao family.

"You must live and give birth to my prince."

He said these creepy words calmly. Xiao Linglong could no longer bear it and bit his shoulder hard. He let her bite him without struggling.

After a while, she opened her mouth and said, "Xiao Linfeng, I hate you. People like you deserve to be abandoned by everyone and not loved."

"Hate it, hate it as much as you can."
