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

Qingwu City was broken, the King of Yan was killed, and the army approached the capital with unstoppable force.

The once prosperous Shengjing was in complete chaos. Some people chose to flee with their families, but most people stayed in the capital.

Because the outside world was even more unstable, it was better to stay. Few people had ever massacred the capital, so everyone was anxious and waiting.

When Xiao Linglong arrived, Xiao Linfeng was drinking on the tallest tower in the palace and didn't look anxious at all.

She sneered, "The ministers are going crazy with anxiety, but your Majesty is in a good mood."

"Let's drink tonight. Maybe tomorrow you'll be the king of a fallen country." He raised his glass to her, "Come on, let's drink together."

She sat down and drank the wine in the glass. It tasted spicy and bitter. From here she could see the lights of thousands of homes in the capital.

"It's fine if you want to be the king of a fallen country, but do you really want these people to be buried with you?"

"You are exceptionally compassionate, not like a member of the Xiao family at all."

She looked at him calmly, "I hated you at first, but now I feel pity for you."

His life was manipulated since birth, no one ever truly loved him, so he grew up to be a twisted, paranoid, power-crazy person.

After falling in love with the light and the moon, my subconscious reaction was to drag them through the mud and destroy them completely.

"Haha, then you should just hate me." He laughed until his eyes turned red, "I own a vast country, what is there to be pitied about..."

If he didn't climb up, his life would have been ruined long ago, which would have been even more pitiful. He hated it most when others pitied him, and he would rather others hated and feared him.

All the love, hatred, and vengeance become less important in the face of the destruction of the family and the country.

Xiao Linglong had already calmed down, and even this result was within her expectations. She asked calmly, "The Xiang-Chu army is about to reach the capital. What is your majesty going to do? Flee or fight to the death?"

Neither of these two things seemed like something he would do, so she always felt that there was a third possibility.

Xiao Linfeng looked at the brightly lit night scene of Kyoto and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "What about the queen?"

"I am the queen of Xiling. Naturally, I will live and die with Xiling." She said calmly and firmly.

"Hahahaha..." He laughed crazily while drinking, "The Xiao family really raised a good daughter and left a good queen for Xiling."

She looked at the dim lights in the distance with a vague gaze and said in a slightly cold voice, "If I could choose, I would not want to enter the palace. I want to live my life freely and indulge in the mountains and rivers."

But she had no choice, so she tried hard to be a good queen and take on the responsibilities of a queen, which could also be regarded as a way to atone for the sins committed by the Xiao family.

I hope that I can pay off my debts through hard work in this life, and in the next life I can be a ray of free wind, or a flower blooming in the valley.

When the sky was just getting light, he said drunkenly, "When you were little, you called me Third Brother, and you stayed with me in the palace for so many years. In the end, I will give you one chance."

He held a gold medal in his hand, which reflected a dazzling light under the rising sun.

"This is the Jinwu token, which can mobilize the imperial guards and all the guards in the capital."

He took her hand and placed the token in her hand, "Now I hand him over to you."

She just felt that the token was hot and looked at him in confusion, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"I have never been a qualified emperor. I don't care whether Xiling is destroyed or what happens to the people in the capital." He looked at the rising sun, "I am going to rush to my destiny."

"So you want to put the lives of the people of this city in my hands?" She tried to retract her hand. "I can't bear it."

Xiao Linfeng forced her to hold the token. "Now I'll give the decision to you. She's not a cruel person, and she's especially kind to women. With this token, as long as you operate it properly, she can save your life and let you escape unscathed."

"Didn't you say you wanted me to stay with you until the end? What's this all about now?"

"Linglong, only you are qualified to take this token, as the queen of Xiling."

He turned and left, "After everything is over, live for yourself. You are no longer the daughter of the Xiao family or the queen of Xiling."

A tear fell on the token, and she whispered, "Third brother..."

No one answered her, Xiao Linfeng had already gone far away.

She wished that time would stay in the past. As the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, he was much older than her. He was also a good brother who had carried her on his back, hugged her, and coaxed her.

They have a good life too, how did they get to where they are today?

She held the token tightly in her hand and stood on the tower for a long time. The female official said carefully, "Madam, we should go back. We will catch a cold if we are exposed to the wind for so long."

She sent away all her close confidants, but she stayed stubbornly, saying that she would stay with her until the end.

"Madam Zhang, His Majesty has left me with a difficult problem and a ray of hope. How should I choose?"

She stepped forward and advised, "Queen, you have done enough. Please be selfish this time."

After all, Xiao Linfeng, as the emperor, had already ignored Xiling. As the queen, she had done her best anyway.

She looked at the prosperous Shengjing under the sunlight, her eyes gradually becoming firm, "He left everything behind, I can't let those generals and soldiers who died in the battle, and those ministers who defended the city become a joke."

Otherwise, how will history record this past and how will people talk about this history?

The emperor abandoned his country and left, while the queen opened the gates to welcome the enemy in exchange for her own safety.

The Xiao family was also one of the root causes of the Xiling Rebellion, since Xiao Linfeng had handed the decision-making power to her.

What was started by the Xiao family was ended by her, and it could be considered as destiny.

She said in a deep voice, "Then let me end this."

The female official cried out, "Her Majesty the Queen."

"Since you have taken on the title of Queen and enjoy this wealth and splendor, you must shoulder the responsibilities that a Queen of Xiling should bear."

I don’t know if it’s because I drank too much, or because I stayed up all night and was blown by the wind for too long, or maybe it’s because I was overwhelmed.

After returning to Fengyi Palace, she fell ill, had a fever, and felt dizzy.

The imperial physician came and prescribed medicine for her. The entire harem was in a panic. The palace maids and eunuchs who were left behind were basically homeless after leaving the palace.

The outside world was unfamiliar and chaotic to them, so they chose to stay and share life and death with the dynasty.

Compared to the emperor who was kept at a distance, the queen became the backbone and support of this group of people, so everyone became anxious when she fell ill.

The female official stepped forward and said, "Calm down. With the queen here, everyone will be fine in the end."

Everyone knew that the Hunan-Chu Army was about to invade, so no one took this statement seriously.

Who knew it would really come true.

Xiao Linglong dreamed of her childhood, when her mother held her in her arms and her father doted on her. At that time, she was a carefree little lady...
