After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Prince Xuan's Mansion.

This famous and prominent palace standing in Kyoto City was dyed red by the blood-red light rising from the sky in the dark night; even the sky there turned the color of blood.

The only place that can rival the bloody scene here is the one at the palace gate.

The archers of the Wei family army were replaced in wave after wave. It was unknown when the tightly closed city gate was torn open. The Wei army behind them attacked in a dense and orderly manner like a colony of ants, and opened the city gate directly.

Wherever their weapons passed, they left behind corpses and pools of blood on the ground.

They were not as gentle as they were towards the people, because the order they received was to kill.

Eunuchs, palace maids, guards, nobles...including the master of the palace...anyone on sight will be killed!

The Wei family does not need the approval of a tyrant to seize the world. The personnel in the palace are mixed. In order to avoid leaving any trouble, the order issued by the army today is just four words: cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Although the residences of the royal family members were not as lively as the palace, the Han family army's troops were scattered and soon dispersed to various places.

The number of lives they had on their hands was no less than that of the guards. The servants in the mansion, even the guard dogs and the carefully raised cats, were no escape from the blood-stained swords.

But if someone compares them carefully, they can still tell the difference between these places and Prince Xuan's Palace.

They were all wearing night clothes, and the swords in their hands carried the same chill.

One of them held a bloodstained sword in his right hand, looked at the man who was shot by several arrows and said, "Your Majesty, it would be better for you to surrender, so as to avoid suffering more physical pain."

“Don’t even think about it!” He raised his knife and chopped off the long arrow, leaving only the arrowhead in his body, which made it easier for him to swing the sword. “The men of my Qin family conquered the world on horseback. As a descendant of the Qin family, I am not the kind of person who is afraid of death.”

King Xuan did not frown throughout the entire process, and even his expression did not change. His eyes flashed with cold light, as if he wanted to kill the person in front of him.

"Hahaha, the ancestor of the Qin family was a brave man. He suppressed the noble families and forced them to flee to the countryside to live. Even the official careers of the family members were slim. But did the ancestor of the Qin family know that his descendants were incompetent people who only knew how to pursue pleasure?"

"The noble family needs to resort to some tricks. A well-trained woman entering the palace can cause unrest in the royal family. I originally thought that returning to Kyoto would be a difficult task, but in the end, a woman and a million gold can solve the problem!"

"This is the hero of the Qin family! Hahaha!"

The leading man in black looked at the long sword in King Xuan of Qin's hand that was dripping with blood, and laughed happily without restraint.

The people behind him all echoed him, and the laughter in the yard came from all directions like needles, piercing the body without leaving any trace, but the pain was real.

King Xuan of Qin felt that what he had just said was a joke. He could be proud of the achievements of his ancestors, but he was also so depressed that he couldn't say a word of rebuttal because of his current brothers.

The beliefs that had kept him going were now shattered into powder by reality, causing his already severely injured body to become shaky.

The man seemed to still not be satisfied, so he stopped laughing and continued to provoke, "King Xuan of Qin may not know that the late emperor originally wanted you to inherit the throne. What a pity..."

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…” He shook his head, like a ghost demanding his life, staring at the other party’s bottomless black tunnel: “Your good brother, killed his father to seize the throne, even the imperial edict to pass on the throne was changed to his name, and all the civil and military officials were deceived by a hypocritical person. It’s really a joke in this world.”

"If you didn't have some abilities, do you think Princess Xuan would have entered the palace and become his favorite in bed?" the man said in a low voice, at a volume that only the two of them could hear.

There was an undercurrent when the two looked at each other, and they could both tell from each other's eyes what was being said.

Before the current emperor ascended the throne, there was a scandal that he was in love with his brother's wife.

"Your Highness!" Princess Xuan ran out of the secret room. She could no longer endure the torment in her heart.

The secret rooms in the palace were interconnected. She stood underground and heard the conversation between these people, feeling heartbroken.

"Why did you come out?" King Xuan looked at the person who came, his eyes were red with anger. He could endure having countless scars on his body and could bear the insults of the enemy, but the only thing he could not endure was his woman dying in front of him.

Princess Xuan grabbed his trembling hand. She could feel the man's breath being drained away bit by bit, and he had very little strength left.

She smiled and looked at the shaky man with a loving gaze: "Rather than being found dead in a dark place, I would rather die openly with the prince."

She was smiling, but tears were still streaming down her face like a waterfall. The man's bloody hands helplessly rested on her face, secretly blaming himself for his incompetence.

When she was a child, she was locked up in a dark cellar by human traffickers. Now she is most afraid of the dark. Even at night, she needs someone to light a lamp before she dares to fall asleep.

When he thought about how he had left his wife in a dark passage, his heart felt as if it was being grabbed by a piece of hot iron.

"Are you afraid that I am not considerate enough?" He ignored the injuries on his body, pulled the woman into his arms, and enjoyed this last tenderness.

The leading man in black had seen enough of this kind of scene: "Humph, today I will be kind and let you die together."

He held up a sword, the tip of which reflected a cold light under the moonlight: "So, who of you will go first? Don't worry, my weapon is forged by a master. I can kill you with one strike. I will make sure you will be reunited on the road to the underworld."

King Xuan drew his sword and stood up. He would not let her die in front of him.

The courtyard of the palace has been cleared out, and the most lively thing is the fight that is currently taking place in the courtyard.

"Boss, don't forget our mission. We need to fight quickly and decisively. Daybreak is almost here!" the people below reminded.

King Xuan was a martial arts expert, but he was seriously injured and could hardly break out of the encirclement.

The man glanced at the red sky, and the sword in his hand became more fierce.

In an instant, the sword blade cut through the specially made python robe, revealing the man's flesh underneath.

King Xuan fought with others for dozens of rounds, but he was ultimately outmatched, and the sword in his hand became the only crutch that could support him.

She wasn't the only one. Seeing this, Princess Xuan ran over and supported her with trembling hands: "Your Majesty!"

But the man had no strength left, and he used what little strength he had left to raise his head and look at the woman who had touched his heart that night under the moonlight.

I don't know when the sword passed through the man's hand.

Princess Xuan held him in her arms, looking at him lying in her arms. Her eyes fell on the blood-stained sword, and she started laughing and crying again.

She slashed her throat with the blade, and held the man's hand tightly as blood spurted out.

Finally, she lay beside him, smiling and peacefully.
