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

The situation in the East China Sea was changing, but Shengjing was full of joy. News spread from the palace that the queen was pregnant, breaking the rumor that the emperor had physical defects.

Regardless of whether people believed it in their hearts or not, no one showed any happiness on their faces, because this was a very happy event.

Xiao Linglong simply stayed at home to take care of her pregnancy, and the palace suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Linfeng looked at the latest news in his hand and said with regret, "Heh, he's lucky enough to be alive and found."

What made him even more uncomfortable was that Jiang Xue Ning actually put down everything she was doing, traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to the East China Sea to personally look for Shen Zhaoyan's whereabouts.

Why did that sick kid...

He sneered and ordered, "Send the commander to the palace to see me."

Xiao Wuji came quickly, wearing a Feiyu suit and an Embroidered Spring Sword. He looked so cold that he seemed like a soulless killing weapon.

He threw the folded paper in his hand at him and said, "Take a look."

Xiao Wuji looked at him quickly, his expression didn't change at all, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"I remember that your family threatened you to betray Gu Mingyue by using your mother. After she died, you were in a state of drunkenness and dream for a long time."

Xiao Wuji said expressionlessly, "That happened a long time ago, so long ago that I almost forgot about it."

He didn't want to talk to him about the past, let alone talk to him about Gu Mingyue.

"Really..." Xiao Linfeng said with a half-smile, "You already knew that Jiang Xue Ning is Gu Mingyue, right?"

He was still as cold as ever, and nothing could make him feel anything. Xiao Linfeng found it boring and did not continue the topic.

"It seems that our commander is becoming more and more hardened. This is good."

Xiao Wuji was very impatient. There was only dislike between him and him, and there had never been any so-called brotherhood between them.

"Your Highness summoned me. What do you want me to do?"

"You have been around me for a long time. From the Xiao family to Helian Xuan to me, you have always been a sharp knife, as if this is your destiny."

Xiao Linfeng chuckled and said, "Go and kill Shen Zhaoyan. This is the last order I give you. You can only succeed and not fail."

Why could a sickly person get something so easily that he had been pursuing so hard but couldn't get it?

He knelt down and said as he had done countless times before, "I obey your orders."

Xiao Linfeng sat at the table and looked at him, saying softly, "Don't be selfish, and go all out. Otherwise, the people you care about, such as the blind girl who saved you in Jiangnan, and your uncle, their lives all depend on you."

A cold look flashed in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "It's either him or me. I will do my best to help him."

Xiao Linfeng suddenly felt bored and sneered, "This is the last mission I give you. If you succeed, you will be free from now on. You don't have to be Commander Xiao anymore, and you don't have to be the knife in my hand anymore."

He was threatened and given a sweet treat at the same time, but he had a premonition that he might not be able to come back alive this time.

So he said, "Before I leave, I have a request."

"Go ahead."

"Before I leave, I want to meet the Queen and say goodbye to her."

There was something ominous in these words. They had always had a good relationship, and Xiao Linglong was one of the few children in the Xiao family who treated him well.

"I agree."

Walking out of the imperial study, he looked up at the sky and felt that the sun was so strong that it made him dizzy.

Xiao Linglong, who was confined in the palace to take care of her baby, was surprised when she heard that he wanted to see her, but she quickly said, "Let him in."

Soon Xiao Wuji followed Xiangcao in. Xiao Linglong felt that he was becoming increasingly cold and hard. She poured him a cup of tea herself and asked, "How come you have time to see me today, Commander?"

Although the relationship between the two was not bad, it was not that close. In the past, she was the youngest daughter raised in seclusion, and he was a killing tool that was never treated as a human being in the Xiao family.

Now one is the queen and the other is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In a sense, both have reached the pinnacle of their lives, but they are not happy and are nothing more than puppets of the imperial power.

Xiao Wuji glanced at her belly and said, "I am leaving now. I came here today to say goodbye to you, Madam."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling. "Where are you going?"

"Your Majesty wants me to kill Shen Zhaoyan. I must succeed and not fail." He said calmly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to return from this trip. Please take care of yourself in this deep palace."

There weren't many good people in the Xiao family, and Xiao Linglong was one of them. Women always had a harder time in this world, and he hoped that her end wouldn't be too miserable.

Xiao Linglong stood up in a panic and said, "I will go to His Majesty and plead for you."

Except for a few young girls and women and children, almost all the people in the Xiao family have died. Xiao Linfeng is not really a member of the Xiao family, after all, he is the bloodline of the late emperor.

She and Xiao Wuzhi are the only ones left alive in this generation. Once he leaves, she will be the only one left.

Xiao Wuji stretched out his hand to stop her, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but it's not necessary. Your Majesty has given the order and will not change his mind."

"And there is my destiny that I must go to. People in our line of work never have a good ending. If I die there in the end, it might be the best ending for me."

He had lived enough and was holding on by relying on a little obsession in his heart.

Xiao Linglong sighed inaudibly, "I am the only one left after all. You are all so cruel."

"Your Majesty is paranoid and cold-blooded. Please make plans for yourself as soon as possible and don't bury yourself in this deep palace."

After many years of being brothers and sisters, they finally became closer at this moment and spoke from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Linglong raised her glass with tears in her eyes and said, "Since your destiny is there, I will use tea instead of wine to toast you one last time. I wish you get what you want."

After finishing the cup of tea, Xiao Wuji stood up and left, "I hope your Majesty takes care of yourself."

He left without looking back. Xiao Linglong looked at his back and tears finally fell.

Even though they were not close, she still felt empty inside as she watched him go away.

Madam Xiao came out of the inner room with a sympathetic look on her face and said, "Your Majesty is so cruel."

Xiao Linglong smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps not having a good ending is the fate of every member of the Xiao family."

"Don't talk nonsense..." Mrs. Xiao said fearfully.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Wuji rode his horse to the place where Gu Mingyue rescued him that day.

The trees here are taller and bigger than they were in the past, and the breeze brings a sense of peaceful times.

He stood here for a long time, and the fiery figure in red had become blurred in his mind as time passed.

Now he was going to fulfill his destiny, to see her for the last time, in an almost cruel way.

He thought that she must regret having saved him, taught him to read and martial arts, and personally raised him into a venomous snake, who finally stabbed her in the back.

Finally, he curled his lips sarcastically and whispered sadly, "Princess, if it happened again, would you save me again?"

Definitely not...
