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

Helian Qing was seriously ill and looked like he was dying.

Helian Xuan asked Zhongqiu to suppress the rumors and appease Helian Qing.

Zhongqiu immediately sent someone to the Prince of Wei's mansion to hint at this. Xiao Linfeng was also very tactful and asked to see the Ninth Princess, to which Helian Xuan agreed.

Helian Qing was fed medicine while she was in a daze. The maid dressed her up. She leaned against the head of the bed weakly and said in a hoarse voice, "I feel dizzy..."

Zhongqiu gently put a hot towel on her head and said with a smile, "When the King of Wei heard that you were ill, he immediately came to the palace to visit you. Princess, you must cheer up."

"I am too sick to see him."

"This is a rare opportunity. His Majesty has granted your permission. Princess, you must not act on your own."

There was a flash of anger in Helian Qing's eyes. Now was not a good time to meet, it would only make people suspicious.

Zhongqiu didn't care about that and quickly ordered the palace servants to lower the curtains and put up a screen to block the view.

Being isolated like this, I can’t see anyone at all and can only talk. After all, the rules still need to be followed.

Zhongqiu said gently, "When the King of Wei comes, you two can have a good talk."

When Xiao Linfeng arrived, Zhongqiu was leading his men to the side hall on the left to avoid suspicion.

Xiao Linfeng only vaguely saw her back, was stunned for a moment and then chuckled.

It turns out that the little girl she picked up that year has grown up this big.

There was only Helian Qing's trusted maidservant in the room, accompanying him by the bed. Xiao Linfeng walked in and said calmly, "I greet the Ninth Princess. Hello, Ninth Princess."

"Ahem, King Wei, there's no need to be so polite."

Xiao Linfeng stood up and said in a level voice, "Rumors will eventually pass. Princess Nine, please relax and take care of yourself."

The calmer he spoke, the more panicked Helian Qing became. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and tried to explain palely, "I am not obsessed with the prince as the rumors say. Please believe me, King Wei."

Being suspected by her future husband of having another lover in her heart is a fatal thing even if she is a princess.

Xiao Linfeng chuckled, his tone becoming gentler, "It doesn't matter whether there is one or not. As long as the princess is well behaved, I will naturally cherish and love her."

Originally these were reassuring words, but when he thought of his "smiling tiger" style, Helian Qing felt goose bumps all over his body.

She leaned against the bed and closed her eyes weakly, then asked softly, "How good do you have to be to be considered good?"

There was a moment of silence, and soon a gentle male voice was heard.

"Let's start by taking medicine and recovering from the illness. I am also looking forward to marrying the princess smoothly."

"Well, I will take good care of myself."

"You are so good, Princess. I will take my leave now."

Listening to the receding footsteps, Helian Qing collapsed powerlessly on the bed. She always felt that there was a hidden warning behind the King of Wei's seemingly gentle words.

She fell ill, on the one hand because of her heartache, and on the other hand she was really thinking whether she could use her illness as an excuse to escape the marriage.

Two years ago, the sixth princess, who had been ordered to be sent to a small wild tribe for marriage, slipped and fell into a lotus pond, scratching her face and breaking her leg.

In the end, Helian Xuan selected another person from the royal family, and the Sixth Princess was sent to a nunnery next to the Yaoguang Temple, where she lived a life of seclusion and worship.

Last year, she and several other princesses went to Yaoguang Temple to burn incense and visited her. Although her life was more difficult than in the palace, she looked calm and indifferent, with a sense of tranquility.

The princess who had married into the tribe had already died there. It was said that she died of complications during childbirth.

Helian Qing had a premonition that the emperor definitely had not made the right decision about this marriage, and that she would not have a good ending if she married into the Prince of Wei's mansion.

She trusted her own judgment and intuition, so she wanted to escape.

Unfortunately, today's meeting made her realize that she had no way to escape this marriage.

She was distracted when Zhongqiu came in and opened the bed curtain with her own hands. "From today on, I will personally take care of the princess with my people so that she can get married in good health."

Helian Qing lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, "Is it my royal brother's order?"

Zhongqiu gently wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. "What happened to the Sixth Princess was a disgrace to the royal family. This marriage is of great importance, and Your Majesty does not want any accidents to happen."

"Princess Nine is so smart, you must understand what I mean, right?"

Helian Qing's chest heaved, and he suppressed his anger, "I'm tired, I need to rest."

Zhongqiu covered her with a blanket considerately and said, "Have a good rest."

After leaving the hall, Zhongqiu sighed inaudibly. As expected, this marriage was strange, and even Helian Qing himself noticed that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, she hasn't found any clues so far.

She whispered, "Pass the message out, tell Xue Ning to be careful."

Xiao family.

Xiao Linfeng looked at Xiao Wuji's disabled right hand with a half-smile, "What happened on the Beiyuan Glacier back then?"

"It's really interesting. I sent someone to check. The group of Jinyiwei you brought into the ice field died in the Three Thousand Crows. Doesn't this way of death look familiar? It's similar to how Xiao Shujin was possessed by crows."

"All the Jinyiwei who went in were wiped out, and you were the only one who came out alive."

Xiao Wuji said expressionlessly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xiao Linfeng chuckled, with a cold look in his eyes, "I also found out some interesting things. Jiang Xue Ning, who was still young at that time, also entered the ice field. It's really interesting."

He felt that the turning point of everything started from there, but unfortunately he was busy with official duties at that time and did not go for various reasons.

After that, Gu Mingyue's body was imprisoned under the glacier, buried forever under the glacier without a trace and completely disappeared.

Jiang Xue Ning officially entered the game from here. After three years in Qingzhou, she became a princess and returned to Beijing in glory. Meanwhile, people in the Xiao family ran into trouble one after another.

Xiao Wuji said expressionlessly, "We were unlucky to encounter the Ice Crow on the glacier that year."

"Oh, you are lying, and you are also protecting her." Xiao Linfeng said affirmatively, "You had an encounter with her on the glacier that year, but you didn't mention it after returning to Beijing."

"What makes you protect her like this..."

Xiao Wuji did not answer, but walked past him, holding the embroidered spring sword at his waist tightly, "I have to go on duty..."

"Xiao Shujin said she was Gu Mingyue, do you think so?"

Xiao Wuji walked straight ahead, but his steps became a little stiff.

Xiao Linfeng was not angry, but laughed softly, "Is it resurrection from the dead, or soul transformation?"

One day, he will solve this secret himself.

He asked the woman in green next to him, "How long will it take for the witch to arrive?"

Nan Xing lowered his head and replied, "It's a long journey from Southern Xinjiang. I'm afraid it will take more than half a month to reach Beijing."

"You go pick it up in person to make sure everything goes well."

"Yes."

The net has been laid, the trap has been set, now we just have to wait for the prey to enter the net.

He has always been very patient and enjoys the process of closing the net bit by bit.
