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

As September approached, the weather gradually became cooler and nearly 200,000 refugees were properly resettled.

Jiang Xue Ning and all the officials were on holiday, and after finishing the meeting tonight, she also wanted to rest.

"There are rebels everywhere in Xiling now, and the situation is turbulent. In addition, Prince Yan is causing trouble, and the court and Xiao Linfeng are in a state of panic." Jiang Li said.

She sat on the chair and said with a relaxed look, "Let them fight, we will sit on the mountain and watch the fight. The most important thing for Xiangchu in the past two years is to seek development."

She will take back what belongs to her sooner or later, but she is not in a hurry for quick success. She is waiting for the right time.

It was already evening when the meeting ended. Shen Zhaoyan said lazily, "An old friend is waiting for you by the pond."

She walked along the path to the pond. Shen Zhaoyan did not follow her, but went outside to wait for her.

Soon she saw a familiar figure, dressed in black, which was particularly conspicuous in the sunset.

Xingluo looked back at her, with eyes full of stars and the sea, "Do you have any good wine?"

On the last trip to Lingzhou, he did not go with the group. It seemed that something happened in his master's sect and he was urgently recalled.

Jiang Xue Ning walked over and put down two jars of good wine on the stone table. "Sangluo wine, it has a strong aftertaste."

He held the wine bottle and drank a few mouthfuls happily, "Great!"

He seemed a little paler and more weathered, but still free and unrestrained.

"I didn't go with you on the trip to Lingzhou because I received news that Junior Master-Uncle was in trouble." He said somewhat sadly, "Junior Master-Uncle tried to find a way out by force to spy on the Sky Pole, but was attacked. He held on for so many years, and finally passed away."

"Condolences."

"This is the destiny of the astrologer. He will turn into a star in the sky to watch over us."

She had a premonition that they might not see each other again for a long time in the future.

Sure enough, Xingluo said, "This time I came here specially to say goodbye to you, and also to Xiangchu to see the situation of the refugees."

"Are you going back?"

"My junior uncle is gone. I have to go back to Tianxuan Peak to practice in seclusion."

The astrologers originally lived with ice, snow and stars, and lived in seclusion on the Tianxuan Peak north of the North Pole. Most of them stayed away from the world, but he was the most talented of the new generation, and it was time for him to go back and take up the responsibility.

He looked at her solemnly with his blue eyes, "The Phoenix Star is shining brightly, and a prosperous era is coming. These are the last words left by Junior Master."

"I'll do my best!"

"Come, let's have a drink."

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be difficult for them to meet again.

After drinking two cans of wine, Xingluo said in a casual manner, "Although I am a little reluctant, I will never see you again."

The birth of an astrologer usually means that a disaster is about to happen and the world will be in chaos. In a sense, this is not a good thing.

He turned around and waved his hand at him, "Let's go, no need to see me off."

It was already dark when she left the house. She looked up and saw that the sky was full of stars and the light was just right.

------------

The situation in Xiling was not so good. After a month of fighting, the imperial court barely managed to control the rebels.

The Minister of War said worriedly, "There has been constant movement in Yan, and the King of Yan has taken the opportunity to win over various forces and expand his territory. If this continues, it may become a serious problem."

Xiao Linfeng frowned, "How many troops can we spare?"

"There are less than 100,000. If they are withdrawn, Shengjing will be in danger."

He sneered, "So you can only watch and do nothing?"

"Let's control the rebellion first, and then take our time." The Minister of War said helplessly.

With the rise of Xiang and Chu, the rebel Wolf Tooth Army of Qingzhou fled, and the military strength of Xiling had been greatly weakened.

The Minister of Revenue also brought bad news, "The treasury is empty, and the food and grass are running out. We can't hold out for long. We must fight a quick battle and suppress the rebellion."

"I understand."

After discussing matters with ministers until late at night, he felt exhausted and dozed off leaning on the dragon chair.

I heard the voices of Eunuch Zhou and the palace maids, "Greetings to the Queen."

It was Xiao Linglong who came. The palace maids behind her brought out midnight snacks, one by one, and placed them on the table.

Xiao Linfeng opened his eyes, "This is the first time that the Queen personally brings me midnight snacks."

"Your Majesty, please live well. If you die now, the people of Xiling will suffer." She said bluntly.

Xiao Linfeng walked over and sat down, "Everyone else please leave. I want to talk to the Queen."

Suddenly, they were the only two people left in the study. He took a sip of the delicious fish soup and said, "I thought you were hoping that I would die soon."

She had been busy raising money for disaster relief, and looked much more haggard. She said with a plain face, "You deserve to die, but the people are innocent."

If he died or the court could no longer hold on, Xiling would inevitably be out of control and in chaos. It is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. The people will suffer the most.

He smiled and said, "Anyway, it's a rare thing to have you bring me midnight snacks."

The atmosphere in the imperial study was too depressing, perhaps because Junchen had just finished a heavy conversation here.

She walked over and reached out to push the half-open window open, letting the night breeze and fresh air flow in.

"You worked so hard to get to this position despite being deserted by your friends and family. I thought you would achieve great things, but this is all you can do."

These words were so heartbreaking and showed no mercy at all.

Xiao Linfeng put down the spoon in his hand and said in a daze, "I have thought about it countless times, sitting in this position above everyone else. I want to be able to command the world with all my might."

Unfortunately, after climbing up to this position step by step, all I have is a sense of emptiness with no one behind me.

He lifted a strand of his white hair and said self-deprecatingly, "The young man who was full of vigor and vitality back then was killed on the way to this position a long time ago."

I thought that if I sat in this position, I would get everything. However, it was just the opposite.

Xiao Linglong could not feel any sympathy for him. "Compared to the people who died in the drought, your tragedy is insignificant."

Those common people are the ones who suffer the most and experience life and death.

"You do have a compassionate heart."

"The Xiao family has done so many evil things. Since I'm still alive, I'll be the one to atone for their sins." She said softly.

"Xiao Linfeng, you already rule the world, but you are still hollow and powerful. What do you want?"

He thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know either."

This was a conversation that ended in vain and Xiao Linglong left quickly.

The weather was extremely stuffy and it looked like it was going to rain heavily. He leaned back in his chair and felt drowsy.

"Boom!"

There was thunder outside, and Eunuch Zhou walked in quickly and whispered, "Your Majesty, the news just came in that Miss Shengsheng fell into the water."

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside where lightning and thunder were flashing. "Let's go."

After changing his clothes, he left the palace at night without caring about the heavy rain and went to Biboting.

The moment he walked out of the palace gate, the person who had been lurking in the darkness followed him silently.

Gu Tangli, who had secretly entered Beijing, soon received the news. A silent chase began in the dark night of wind and rain.
