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

That afternoon, Jiang Xue Ning woke up from a nightmare covered in sweat, feeling confused and shocked.

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhaoyan asked, looking at her pale face.

"I dreamed of my elder brother, covered in blood..."

This was the first time that her elder brother had appeared in her dream in all these years. His red eyes made her feel uneasy.

He touched her forehead, which was rarely cold in the summer. "Did you have a nightmare?"

After bathing and changing her clothes, she went to the small Buddhist temple, where the tablets of the Gu family members were placed. She lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, and then chanted for a while.

I still feel upset. Those nightmarish past events and the time when my brother and I played together as children always flash through my mind.

She closed her eyes and said, "Brother, are you worried about anything in your grave?"

She didn't believe in ghosts or fate before, but such a miraculous thing happened to her. So sometimes she felt that there was a cause and effect in everything.

After discussing government affairs in the afternoon, she was still uneasy.

Gu Tangli said worriedly, "The weather has been hot recently. Is Sister overworked and feeling restless?"

She opened the drawer and took out a green cherry blossom purse. "You guys are all here, let's take a look."

Gu Tangli took it and opened it, revealing a strand of hair. Gu Xingchen also came over, looking at it in confusion.

"Whose is this?"

"Xiao Linfeng sent someone to deliver it not long ago." She supported her head with her hands and said, "Bai Shu inferred that it belonged to a young girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old."

"Xiao Linfeng sent someone all the way here to deliver it. It's impossible that he just had a full meal and had nothing to do."

"The owner of this hair is related to you and can threaten you?"

She nodded and said, "It can only be a member of the Gu family. He was the one who fueled the downfall of the Gu family."

Gu Tangli and Gu Xingchen were both lost in their memories, and they wrote down the names of all the main members of the Gu family.

Finally, Gu Xingchen circled the three words "Gu Shengsheng" with a brush and said, "Judging from her age, it is most likely her."

The eldest daughter of the next generation of the Gu family and the daughter of Gu Mingwang.

Jiang Xue Ning could still recall the way she pulled her skirt and called her aunt, "I suddenly dreamed of my elder brother today. Is he blaming me for not taking good care of Sheng Sheng?"

"If things really go badly for Shengsheng in his hands, there will be a war between us and Xiao Linfeng sooner or later. And Shengsheng will most likely become a victim of this war." Gu Tangli said.

This is a situation that none of them want to see, nor can they accept, so they can only find a way to break it.

"I have sent a message to my people in the capital to inquire about her."

So far, no relevant news has been sent back. She knows in her heart that if the person is really in Xiao Linfeng's hands, he will definitely hide him and push him out at the critical moment to attack her in the most cruel way.

"Every time we find a living member of the Gu family, it is God's blessing to us. So no matter what, we must do our best to save them."

Jiang Xue Ning looked at the location of Shengjing on the map hanging on the wall and said solemnly, "No matter what happens, I will do my best to protect her."

Gu Tangli's finger passed over Shengjing and said calmly, "If that's the case, let me go back. No one in Shengjing has seen what I look like when I grow up. It would be safest and most appropriate for me to go back. It's been so many years, and I also want to go back and take a look."

"Alright."

The three of them discussed it and quickly decided that Gu Tangli would return to Beijing to look for Gu Shengsheng.

Gu Shengsheng, who was trapped on the island, had no idea that someone was coming over mountains and rivers for her.

After Xiao Linfeng came to see her, her condition did not improve, but became worse.

She woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night with a palpitating heart, and could no longer fall asleep. She opened the window, leaned against it, and stared at the lake in the summer night, lost in thought.

Lu Wu brought her a calming soup with gentle steps. "It's cold at night. You are weak and you should be careful not to catch a cold. It's still early. Drink some calming soup and go back to sleep."

She took the calming soup and poured it all into the lake. "I'm tired of drinking it. Calming soup can't calm my heart."

She liked the feeling of being awake at night, painful but comfortable.

Lu Wu obviously knew her temper and stopped trying to persuade her. Instead, she sat down beside her and said, "Then I'll talk to my aunt."

She leaned against the window with her arms as her head resting on it, her eyes slightly half closed, letting the wind blow her hair.

"He already has the throne, but he still keeps me here. He has kept me here for so long, probably waiting for the right time to make full use of me."

She said it calmly. This topic was very dangerous. As a servant, Lu Wu could only say, "The master has been very kind to you over the years. She would not really be willing to hurt you."

He treated her well, provided her with fine clothes and delicious food, and even invited the best teachers to teach her to read and play the piano. When she was seriously ill, he stayed up all night to watch over her.

During those years, she, who had lost everything, considered him everything. But the older she got, the more she realized that she was not that important to him.

He may even be just a tool kept in captivity, who will be used when necessary.

What a cruel fact.

She had been upset and cried, but he was getting busier and busier and rarely came to see her. Gradually, she calmed down and even accepted her fate.

"No one is more cruel than him. He saved me from a pool of blood and gave me the warmth I needed to survive. But he didn't want to redeem me. He just wanted to make it easier for him to push me into the abyss one day."

Xiao Linfeng never allowed people on the island to tell her about things outside.

Of course she knew the situation outside and could almost predict her fate. She was just a tool carefully raised to deal with King Xiangchu.

Lu Wu sighed, "Young lady, you think too much. It's better to live in the present. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow."

Being too smart and sharp is a disaster for her.

Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "If I were a little more stupid, I would be much happier. After all, life on the island is indeed carefree, and then I was pushed out to die unexpectedly."

This way, the only pain is at the moment of death, which is also good.

"But I'm so unwilling..." She looked into the distance through the dark night, "I want to go out and see the scenery outside and breathe the air outside."

I also want to be with him forever.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do any of that and could only be trapped here day after day.

Her fate was already determined the moment he rescued her. She thought it was a god coming to save her, but in reality she was doomed.

"Luwu, what do you think I am in his heart?"

Lu Wu was silent for a long time and was unable to answer her.

"Is it difficult to answer?" She twitched the corner of her mouth in self-mockery. "Yes, but he deliberately kept me in a cage, and asked such an unrealistic question."

Lvwu felt distressed when she saw your thin back, "Girl, this is not your fault. There are many things that you cannot control."

She stretched out her hand and let the wind blow through her fingertips. "After I die, I want to be a wisp of wind and be free."

She would go towards the ending he hoped she would go towards.

If that was her destiny and fate, she accepted it.
