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

This trip to the Western Mountains ended hastily with Princess Ninth feeling unwell.

Jiang Xuening met Xiao Linfeng and got the news that the royal family would hold a Mid-Autumn Festival festival, which was considered a worthwhile trip.

Shen Zhaoyan wanted to send her back home, but she decisively refused.

"Rumors are booming, so let's stop them."

Shen Zhaoyan, "I'm not afraid of rumors."

"I still want to live a quiet life."

On the way back, Jiang Xue Ning counted the days, "Shangguan Wan should leave the palace to rest in a few days. Send the message and I will make an appointment with her."

She complied with her request and killed the young official Mo Yao and Shangguan's wife. Now it was time for her to collect the debt.

Soon the news that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be held this year spread throughout Shengjing, and the whole Shengjing suddenly became lively.

When the time comes, all the officials will be present and the people can watch. Jiang Xuening, as the princess of Qingzhou, would naturally be present.

She made an appointment with Shangguan Wan in an inconspicuous teahouse. To be cautious, she disguised herself as a man to go to the appointment.

Shangguan Wan directly dressed up as a woman in her forties, carrying a basket and wearing a headscarf, without any hint of the majesty of a female official.

She smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for Shangguan Wan, "The look is very similar, lifelike."

Shangguanwan put down the basket in his hand and sat down, sighing, "You have been silent since that incident, but now you suddenly want to see me, I'm afraid you have to collect debts."

She had a premonition that this trip might cost her her life, but she was fearless.

When she spoke to Jiang Xuening, her fate was already sealed.

Jiang Xuening handed her the tea, "If you do it well, you may not be able to escape unscathed."

Shangguan Wan only felt that the tea was scalding her mouth and made her drink uneasy.

"what do you want to do?"

"The royal family is going to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival festival. As a female official, you will be very busy."

Shangguan Wan frowned, "Who do you want to touch?"

"If I touch the emperor, I don't have the ability."

During her three years in Qingzhou, she watched Jiang Xuening fight her way up step by step, and finally used her woman's body to frighten the major forces in Qingzhou and carve out a piece of the sky.

She knows her ambition and ruthlessness better than anyone else.

Coupled with what she did after returning to Beijing, Shangguan Wan probably guessed what she was going to do.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's not that scary. I want you to touch the queen."

Shangguan Wan held the teacup and said, "The Queen has always had power over the Six Palaces. It's not that easy."

"You have been in the palace for many years and have climbed step by step to your current position. You have formed your own power network. I don't believe you can't help it."

Jiang Xuening refused to let go, and Xiao Shujin stayed in the deep palace for a long time. If she wants to attack her, she must come from the palace. The only one who can cooperate with her is Shangguan Wan, and she can only do this.

"That's all, the debt you owe must be repaid." Shangguan Wan suppressed his ups and downs in his heart, "It's just a cheap life. If it's gone, it's gone."

"how do you want to do it?"

Jiang Xuening smiled mysteriously, "I won't make it too difficult for you, as long as you plan it well."

The two of them talked secretly in the tea room all afternoon. When she left, Shangguan Wan had a bracelet and a ring on her hand, which looked exquisite and complicated.

She returned to her residence and worshiped her mother as usual.

After her mother died, as an aunt she was not qualified to enter the Shangguan family's ancestral tomb, so she was buried on the mountain.

She laid out her mother's favorite pastries and brought a jug of wine. He sat casually on the ground and poured himself a glass of wine. Only here she doesn't have to wear a mask to live, nor does she have to walk on thin ice with caution. You can let go of everything and just be yourself.

"Mom, maybe this is the last time I come to see you. But don't be afraid, maybe we will be reunited down there soon."

"I entered the palace as a female official and worked my ass off to earn a living. I wanted you to live a good life. Unfortunately, I still didn't do it."

"Mom, I have avenged you. I don't have many regrets, and I am tired of the palace's cunning life."

"Actually, I have always envied her. She has done many things that women dare not do. If she can usher in a different prosperous age, I think it will be worth it even if I die."

She was going to die anyway, and if she could help that person on the path he took, it would be more meaningful than her dying in the palace's plot.

Female officials in high positions in the palace involve the interests of all parties. If you climb up by stepping on other people's bones, you will eventually be stepped on. Most of them did not end well and died in overt and covert fights.

She couldn't escape such an ending in the end. In this case, it was better to play the big game and die vigorously.

She drank until evening and returned to her place of residence. Make a list of relationships in the study room and circle a few names. I repeatedly considered the feasibility of the plan in my mind, and finally drew a cross on Xiao Shujin's name.

"Queen, it's my turn to take action this time."

Because Jiang Xuening was not killed in Qingzhou, the queen could no longer tolerate her. He often made things difficult for her, and her life in the palace was not easy.

This time, let’s clear things up completely.

With the plan finalized, Shangguan Wan had a good night's sleep.

The next day, she went to the morning market and ate a big bowl of her favorite scallion noodles before going to the palace.

At noon, the carriage arrived outside the palace gate. She held a baggage, and when she entered, she gave the guard guard the money according to the rules. The guard politely checked her baggage over and over to make sure there were no dangerous items, and then let her in.

After entering the inner palace, there were experienced nuns who conducted further personal inspections on them.

Ordinary palace ladies do not have the opportunity to leave the palace. As female officials, they have the right to rest, but the management is also very strict.

Grandma searched her whole body almost to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then she said, "Feng Yi, please help yourself."

A grand Mid-Autumn Festival is to be held, and as the queen, Xiao Shujin naturally has to take charge of the overall situation. She summoned all the female officials in the Shangsi Bureau to discuss matters and assigned tasks to them.

Shangguan Wan, as a second-grade Shangyi, did not receive any practical information.

Xiao Shujin said warmly, "Shangguan Shangyi, as my right-hand man, will help me take charge of the overall situation."

Shangguan Wan said without changing his expression, "Thank you very much for the compliment."

It seemed that he had given her great power, but in fact he was evading her. It is no longer a secret among female officials that the queen excludes her and does not want to see her.

After the discussion, a female official mocked her. There are also female officials whom she has good friends with to comfort her.

She looked calm, not showing the slightest hint of sadness.

Returning to the room where he stayed, Shangguan Wan felt tired and laughed to himself, "So what if I win the fight?"

The great youth has been buried in this deep palace, and there will always be powerful new people emerging, and the fight will be endless.

She touched the cold bracelet on her wrist, which gave her more time to plan the matter.

The palace was busy, and her place soon became deserted. She also began to complain about her illness and faded away from the disputes between female officials.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big event, so Xiao Shujin naturally has no time to focus on her, a female official.
