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

Helian Mu reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist fiercely, "You are my legitimate princess, even if you die, you are still a member of the Helian family!"

"Really?" Bing Tong's eyes reflected a strange light, and she looked at him dimly, "You are a cheap man who broke your oath, and you will die in hell."

"you…"

Helian Mu was in an unstable mood. When he met her eyes, he fell into the illusion she created and stood there in a daze.

Bingtong shook off his hand and said to Jiang Xuening who was watching the fun, "Let's go."

Jiang Xue Ning nodded, and the two were about to leave. Eunuch Zhou rushed over and said, "Princess, please stay. His Majesty invites you."

"Wait for me in the carriage."

She followed Eunuch Zhou to the Golden Palace despite everyone's gossiping gazes.

Bingtong left. Qiao Zhiwan held back her tears and stepped forward to hold Helian Mu's arm, "Prince, let's go back to the mansion."

Helian Mu spat out a mouthful of blood, pulled himself out of the illusion, and said with an ugly look, "Oh, it seems that you hate me very much."

"My Lord, what did she do to you? Why are you vomiting blood?"

Helian Mu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Let's go back."

Since we are still alive, we will be able to continue our past relationship sooner or later.

After they left, the onlookers also dispersed, and the scene outside the palace gradually became quiet.

Standing in the throne room again, smelling the rich aroma of ambergris, she felt as if she were in another world.

In the smoke, Helian Xuan sat behind the desk casually, looking at her with drunken eyes, "Why did you come back?"

This was an interesting question. She was silent for a moment, then said half-truthfully, "There are rumors that my cousin is not dead and will be returning to Beijing soon. Naturally, I want to confirm it with my own eyes."

"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to it too."

He killed the person who closed her eyes with his own hands, and now he says he is not dead. Things are getting more and more crazy.

Jiang Xue Ning looked at him and felt that something was not right about him.

Helian Xuan spoke to himself, "The two stars of Xiling are finally going to see the light of day again. I am very happy. Are you happy, Princess?"

"Of course I am happy."

"Just now, news came from the dark prison that Duan Xilou attempted suicide."

Jiang Xue Ning's heart tightened, but her expression remained unchanged.

"Seeing that he was about to be executed, I thought about giving him a few days of good life, but I didn't expect that he was so eager to die. It really spoiled my mood."

She said calmly, "Everyone thought that General Duan had died in that rebellion."

Helian Xuan's eyes were slightly red, and he seemed to be sober yet confused as he said, "It would be more interesting if one of the twins died and the other was imprisoned. If they were all killed, I'm afraid I would shorten my life."

He walked down, approached her drunkenly, and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to see him?"

Is this a temptation?

I started to doubt...

For a moment, her mind was full of thoughts and many ideas flashed through her mind.

Helian Xuan fiercely grasped her shoulders, staring at her face with infatuated eyes, "Maybe when he sees your face, he will have the courage to live and won't want to die anymore."

He gently touched the rouge at the corners of her eyes with his fingers, "Go meet him, with this face of yours."

She couldn't figure out what he wanted to do for a moment, she just felt that he had bad intentions, and now was not a good time to meet Duan Xilou.

"Can I say no?"

"No, this is my order."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed in black walked in, "Qianji greets His Majesty."

"You will take the princess to see Duan Xilou."

"Yes."

Qianji took out a black ribbon and said respectfully, "Please cover your eyes, Princess."

Helian Xuan took the black ribbon from his hand and tied it up for Jiang Xuening himself, "Go, use this face of yours to shock Duan Xilou a little, hahahahahahaha."

Qianji held out the sword in his hand, "Please hold it well, Princess."

Jiang Xue Ning tightly grasped the cold scabbard and staggered out step by step amid Helian Xuan's crazy laughter.

"We are about to get on the carriage. Please lift your feet, Princess."

A gentle female voice sounded, and someone helped her up. She got on the carriage and was helped to sit down.

"I have offended the princess."

Her hands were tied up. Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "Those who know me want me to go see someone, and those who don't know me would think I want to die."

She didn't struggle in the end. Even so, she still wanted to meet Duan Xilou.

After losing her sight, her ears became extra sensitive. The sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the night, and she could feel the carriage turning several corners.

A black carriage whizzed past in the dark night.

When she was about to fall asleep, she heard the night watchman's call. She listened carefully and found that it was already the third watch.

From this, we can infer that the secret prison was far away from the imperial palace, even far away from the center of the capital, and was built in a remote place.

The carriage continued for a while and finally stopped.

The woman supported her and said, "Please get off the carriage, Princess."

After getting off the carriage, she was helped inside. Soon she smelled the musty and damp smell unique to the dark prison, as well as the sound of people walking around.

Qianji and the woman took her to the bottom level of the dark prison, where the serious criminal Duan Xiluo was held.

With a glance from him, the woman untied Jiang Xuening's bound hands and the blindfold.

Jiang Xue Ning slowly opened her eyes. The cell was dark. Qian Ji personally lit a candle and placed it on the table.

"It's only one hour, please do as you please, Princess."

He and the woman retreated and the cell door closed.

Jiang Xue Ning stood there for a while, and her eyes finally adjusted to the light in the cell. The cell was large and exuded a rotten and musty smell.

Her eyes swept across the cell and stopped at the corner where something was huddled together.

She opened her mouth, but could not utter the words "West Building". She just stood there in a daze.

The man curled up in the corner moved a little and said in a hoarse voice, "Kill me! I've had enough of living!"

Jiang Xue Ning clenched her palms and walked over step by step. The past flashed in her mind, and her memory was frozen on the jade-faced general's spirited look, "riding a white horse with a silver saddle, and his footsteps were as loud as shooting stars."

Perhaps he felt someone approaching, the person who was lying in the corner like a mess slowly sat up against the wall.

He opened his eyes and looked over, but was suddenly stung with pain. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. He raised his scarred hands, rubbed his eyes and murmured, "Sure enough, when people are about to die, they will have hallucinations."

"Mingyue, you have never appeared in my dreams for so many years." He stared at her, afraid that the illusion would suddenly disappear. "I'm sorry, until the end I was unable to take you out of Shengjing and give you freedom."

Not being able to take Gu Mingyue's body away has always been his biggest regret.

He was afraid that she would be lonely if she stayed alone in the cage of Shengjing. She had lived a wild and passionate life during her lifetime, so she should be free after her death.

"I'm sorry I couldn't avenge you. But... we should be able to see each other again soon."

Jiang Xue Ning couldn't stand it anymore. She put her hand on his cheek and whispered, "West Building..."

"Can you call me again?"

"West Building..."

Duan Xilou said with relief, "Now, I can die calmly..."
