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

The Grand Tutor closed his eyes and said without leaving any face, "The Emperor has long disappeared."

"He worked so hard to get to the throne, but he is nothing more than this."

Jiang Xue Ning took the lead, and the 800,000-strong army entered the city in an orderly manner.

This night is chaotic and uncomfortable. It is a beginning and an end, the last labor pain before dawn.

For Jiang Xue Ning and the others, it was more of a busy time. They had to settle 800,000 troops, take over the entire imperial city, and properly deal with the 200,000 soldiers of Xiling who were originally in the city.

After a busy night, at dawn, the Grand Tutor and the Minister of State led all the officials to welcome her into the palace at the palace gate.

Xiao Linfeng was such a disappointment, and he completely broke the hearts of these old ministers. After last night, the Grand Tutor said bluntly, "It's also good to change someone. It may be a good thing for the people. The former Xiling is already dead, and since he has already escaped, it's not worth it for us to die for him."

The blood of those who sacrificed their lives for the country had long since cooled down. In addition, Jiang Xue Ning did not hurt anyone, so the transition was completed in a relatively calm state.

They led all the officials to welcome her into the palace, which was a sign of their recognition of her as the new emperor.

When the first ray of sunlight broke through at dawn, Jiang Xue Ning walked in through the main gate in a heroic manner, holding silver armor and a red cherry spear.

The Grand Tutor led all the officials to kneel down and said, "Greetings to the Queen! Long live the Queen!"

The uniform voices, together with the rising sun, illuminated the imperial city, ushering in a new light.

The Xiling Dynasty, which had lasted for more than three hundred years, was destroyed, and a new era began on this land!

After entering the palace, she did not sit on the chair immediately, but went to the imperial study. There were still memorials piled on the table, with a trace of Xiao Linfeng left.

The Grand Tutor and several old officials immediately handed her a letter of resignation, saying, "A new dynasty and era has arrived. We old bones don't want to join in the fun anymore. We just want to be fishermen and spend our old age in peace."

They had devoted almost their entire lives to Xiling, and watched Xiling fall. Moreover, it was normal for them not to want to continue to serve her.

She took the letter without any hesitation and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"Your Majesty, please grant me your permission."

"That's right."

Soon the few of them left and the queen faced the rising sun and said with relief, "It's finally over."

"I'm going back to my hometown to retire. The fish I caught in the fish pond are very fresh. I'll treat you to fish soup when the time comes..."

"Tsk, let's have a good match. This time we must see who is better in chess..."

"I want to travel while I can still walk..."

Some old officials left sadly, while naturally there were also newcomers who were full of energy and celebrated the victory and the arrival of their era.

Amidst all the commotion, Jiang Xue Ning said to Gu Xingchen, "It's time to go home."

They changed into casual clothes and brought their people back to Gu Mansion in a low-key manner. As soon as they got off their horses, they found that the door of Gu Mansion was open and had been cleaned thoroughly.

Uncle Zheng came out with a few veteran soldiers who had been guarding Gu's house. With tears in his eyes, he said, "When the news of the city's fall came, I knew you would come back, and I have been waiting for you."

Compared to a few years ago, they are older and their hair is grayer, but the smiles on their faces are happy.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years."

"Now that you are back, the Gu family's injustice has been redressed. We no longer have to work so hard. Everything is worth it." Uncle Gu said with relief, "Master and Miss, welcome home."

When they stepped in, everything was the same as it was in the Gu Mansion many years ago, as if nothing had changed.

She touched the knife marks on the pillar and looked at the slightly desolate and old house. All these reminded them of the traces of time and that nothing could go back.

She took Shen Zhaoyan to Gu Garden for a walk. "This is the Gu Family School, and it's also where I grew up. There were beloved teachers, close sisters, and like-minded friends. I was the happiest person at that time."

Because everything was so beautiful and happy at that time, it seemed so painful when it fell apart and we turned our knives against each other later.

Shen Zhaoyan looked at the plants and trees in Gu Garden seriously. "You were famous at that time. Everyone knew the young lady of the Gu family. She was beautiful and playful."

He had seen her at a palace banquet and thought disapprovingly, she was just a little prettier...

Later she saved him, but before he grew up and had the chance to repay her, he had already heard the news of her tragic death.

No one expected that they would meet at a mass grave later.

“Fate is a wonderful thing.”

She reached out and pinched his face, "You were still interesting then, a sickly pretty boy."

After walking around Gu Garden, she and Gu Xingchen went to the Gu family's ancestral tomb with wine, food and cakes.

Dad, mom, grandparents, older brother, and younger brother...all their loved ones are buried here.

Gu Xingchen knelt down as soon as he entered, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma... I'm back."

Having already gotten through the most painful period of her nightmares, she was unusually calm. "The Gu family's blood feud has been avenged. I have already taken back what the Xiling royal family owed the Gu family. I will come back to offer sacrifices to you after I take down Xiao Linfeng's head."

She knelt down and tears fell unconsciously, "But if possible, I wish nothing had happened and we were still a happy family."

The two stayed in the cemetery for a long time and talked a lot. Finally, they sat down in front of the tomb of Gu Mingwang and his wife. Gu Xingchen poured a glass of wine on the ground and said, "Brother, this is your favorite wine."

She placed cakes in front of Sister Gu's grave and said, "Sister-in-law, this is your favorite peach blossom cake."

The two of them drank a lot, and she slowly spoke, "Brother and sister-in-law, we found Shengsheng, but she doesn't want to come back to us. I don't know what to do with her..."

Now that she has entered the imperial city, Gu Shengsheng is Xiao Linfeng's biggest trump card. That lunatic will definitely not let her get away with it.

Gu Xingchen said softly, "Brother and sister-in-law, if Shengsheng persists in his wrongdoings, we will be sorry. In our grave, we will personally apologize to you."

When they walked out of the cemetery, he said to her, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best. You and the Gu family were both victims of the struggle for imperial power. Even though she is innocent, it has not been easy for anyone along the way, and everyone must be responsible for their own choices."

They will not indulge Xiao Linfeng without limits just because of their blood relationship and let him control them.

"I have already issued the order to hunt down Xiao Linfeng with all my strength."

Uncle Zheng prepared dinner, and the table was full of dishes that they loved to eat when they were children.

"Everyone, please sit down. There's no need to be restrained." She raised her glass to them and said sincerely, "Thank you all for protecting the Gu residence over the years."

If they hadn't risked their lives to stay here, the Gu Mansion would have been deserted and non-existent, and would not have been taken care of so well.

One veteran said with emotion, "To put it bluntly, this is also our home, so we must work hard to protect it."

Jiang Xue Ning was drunk, and leaning on his shoulder, she dreamed of herself when she was fifteen or sixteen years old and the Gu family...
