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

When the news reached Shengjing, Xiao Linfeng was playing chess with Xiao Linglong. After going through so many things, the two were able to get along peacefully.

Perhaps it was because in this deep palace, they were the only ones who understood each other best and could speak the truth to each other.

The female official hurried in and saw Xiao Linfeng here. Just as she was about to bend down and leave, Xiao Linglong called her, "Come in and talk."

The female official bowed and said in a gentle voice, "It's news from Xiangchu."

She was so interested that she didn't even want to play chess anymore. She propped her chin up with her hand and asked lazily, "What's the news?"

The female official spoke clearly, "A few days ago, Xiangchu held a grand full-moon banquet for the little princess. The King of Xiangchu named the little princess Gu Qinghe, and her nickname is Suisui."

She had read a lot of books since she was young, and instantly understood the meaning of the two words "Qinghe" and the ambitions and hopes they conveyed.

"What a good name. I hope King Xiangchu gets what he wants."

A faint light flashed in Xiao Linfeng's eyes, "You are still brave enough to face her in front of me."

She smiled faintly, "You are not as good as him. Of course, your birth and past were pitiful. But she was betrayed by her lover and friends, and her family was wiped out in a tragic death. Still, she crawled back from hell and came to where she is now."

"So in the final analysis, it's you who are unstable at the core. Or maybe it's men's nature to pursue fame and fortune."

The queen had been sitting on this high position for a long time. She had become numb to seeing people one after another doing whatever it took to pursue power.

In the prosperous Shengjing, countless people come every day in pursuit of interests and rights, while some leave in frustration.

Xiao Linfeng was not angry either, he just smiled and said, "You seem to be more and more disillusioned with the world."

"I'm just waiting for the end."

She was also waiting for her own ending. She was born into the Xiao family and enjoyed wealth and splendor, then became the queen and watched the Xiao family go to destruction.

She had experienced all kinds of joys and sorrows in her life. No matter whether she lived or died in the end, she could accept any outcome calmly.

"Your Majesty, is everything you have now what you want?"

"What I have is what countless people in the world want, and that's enough."

Such "good" news cannot be known only by him.

After leaving Xiao Linglong, he went to a barren mountain near the capital. There was a tomb without words in the barren mountain. The cemetery was surrounded by weeds and it was obvious that no one took care of it.

As an emperor who was killed and deposed, Helian Xuan was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but was buried here.

He stood in front of the tomb for a long time before he slowly spoke, "She got married and gave birth to a little princess. She seemed to be happy."

This happiness originally belonged to the people in the tomb, but because he was afraid of the power of the Gu family and Gu Mingyue's prestige, he shot her to death with his own hands and destroyed everything.

"You did love her, didn't you? But beauty is no match for power, so you were willing to die under her knife in the end."

Unfortunately, the person in the tomb had already turned into bones and could not answer him.

"alert!"

The secret guard who followed him drew the knife from his waist, and he turned around, curious about who would come to see He Lianxuan today.

A woman came from a distance, dressed in cloth and holding a glass of wine.

He squinted his eyes and quickly confirmed the other person's identity. It turned out to be Zhongqiu who stayed in the capital to open a tavern.

Zhongqiu shook the wine jar in his hand and said, "It seems that today is a good day. I actually met your Majesty here."

"Heh, come to think of it, you were first a court lady and then Helian Xuan's concubine, so you have a close relationship with him."

"Friendship?" She smiled sarcastically, "I only hate him. Today I came to share the good news of the prince with him."

The two of them ended up in the same place.

Xiao Linfeng felt bored instantly. Helian Xuan was already a skeleton, but he was still alive. It was hard to say who was more miserable and in more pain.

He didn't stay long and left quickly.

I even wondered if, if he died, many years later, anyone would remember him and visit his grave.

Jiang Xue Ning gave birth to a daughter, which caused a chain reaction. The court officials brought up the old matter again, asking him to take in more concubines and give birth to a prince as soon as possible to stabilize his rule.

Although there were rumors that he was ill and unable to have children, he broke them through the Queen's fake pregnancy. With the Snow Clan being destroyed and Xiao Qiluo having a miscarriage, the matter came to nothing.

But for the court officials, no matter they believe it or not, since you have shown that you can have children, they have to urge you.

After all, having no offspring is a taboo for the royal family and will also affect their rule.

So countless memorials flew onto the table in the imperial study, but he was too lazy to even take a look at them.

Xiao Linglong was also disturbed, and several respected old ladies and ladies of honor came to the palace to meet her.

Either persuade her to have a baby, or persuade her to take a concubine for the emperor.

She couldn't stand it anymore, so she came to the imperial study and asked, "How is your majesty going to deal with this matter?"

She had known for a long time that he couldn't have children, but she didn't think that was a bad thing. Why bring some innocent little lives into this world to suffer?

Xiao Linfeng sneered, "Since they like to meddle in other people's affairs so much, I will grant their wish."

Soon he issued an edict that any civil or military official in the court who was willing to send their daughters to the palace would be given a title according to their status.

It's not that the palace can't afford to support a few idle people. As for whether he would have to stay alone in an empty room after entering, and what he would face in the future, these were not within his consideration.

He just fulfilled their wish.

Suddenly, all the civil and military officials in the court fell silent. He said with a fake smile at the morning court, "Since you have been so worried, the important task of expanding the country will be handed over to you."

This sounded strange, and no one dared to speak or make a sound.

The situation in Xiling is not good. It has not yet recovered from the severe damage caused by the drought, and Yan and Xiangchu are eyeing it covetously.

Adding to the previous rumors, although they jumped high, anyone with a brain knew that sending their daughter into the palace was most likely jumping into a fire pit.

Xiao Linfeng also specifically told them that since it was about the heir to the throne, only legitimate daughters would be accepted. This immediately stopped some families who wanted to take a chance by letting concubines enter the palace.

Those who were eventually sent to the palace were either those who wanted to curry favor with the powerful or those who wanted to take a gamble. But in the end, they were those who didn't care about their daughters.

On the day when more than a dozen young ladies from official families entered the palace, Xiao Linfeng did not show up, and neither did the Queen.

They were placed in the palace where concubines lived, were not treated harshly in terms of food, and were served by palace maids.

But the legendary divine favor did not exist, and the dream of becoming a phoenix was shattered.

Soon someone couldn't stand it anymore and started crying, "Are we going to live like this in the palace forever?"

Some people were very sober and said, "We are just victims of our family and the imperial power. We should live one day at a time and think positively."

While Xiao Linglong was chanting in the small Buddhist temple, another evil incident occurred in the palace. A group of women just ruined their best years.
