Hey, you are reborn too?

What she gained in return for that desperate gamble was the emperor's enduring favor.

In fact, the "Master of Fate" was firmly opposed to Concubine Chen's quest for favor.

The life master was still a young man at that time, he was only two years older than Concubine Chen. And the reason why he was able to persuade Concubine Chen was because he was a master of Beili secret arts and firmly sat on the second seat of Tianhong Sect.

Concubine Chen didn't know what means her father used to make the Master of Destiny willing to stay in the Tianhong Sect, but at that time, her father and the Master of Destiny were only in a cooperative relationship.

Logically speaking, when her father was assassinated, the person in charge could have left the Tianhong Sect and no longer serve the new leader of the Tianhong Sect.

But the commander stayed.

Concubine Chen sometimes thought that maybe her father had used some means to tie him down.

"Yin'er, Ah Yin, don't use your beauty to please others. This won't last long."

It's easy for you to say that. Concubine Chen was seriously lacking in sleep at the time and had a very bad temper. If you dare, why don't you go without sleep for a month?

Later, Concubine Chen didn't remember what she cursed, she only remembered that the two of them parted on bad terms that day.

Looking back now, Concubine Chen belatedly sensed the unspeakable pain in his eyes.

But why is that?

Maybe he didn't want to see the daughter of an old friend bowing her head and begging for help.

In short, after Concubine Chen gave birth to Jiang Mian, she rarely contacted the fate master. It was not until Jiang Mian was about thirteen years old and the Beili Holy Sons died one after another that Concubine Chen finally remembered the curse.

More than a decade has passed, and Concubine Chen still hates her brother as much as she does, but she is no longer as obsessed with sitting on the throne herself.

She was a young girl back then, but now she is a middle-aged woman.

Over the years in the Dayuan Palace, ambition died along with youth. Instead, hatred grew like a cancer in the bone, slowly growing and turning Concubine Chen into someone she couldn't recognize herself before.

She wanted madly to pull that man down from the throne.

Moreover, she hated every Beili Saint Son equally, because as long as there was a Saint Son, it would be difficult for the Saint to compete with them, and thus she would have no chance of the throne.

However, as fate would have it, she gave birth to a Holy Son of Beili.

She loved and hated this child. She transferred all her hatred for her brother, the Holy Son, to this child. Not long after Jiang Mian was born, she gave him a life-or-death poison - a highly toxic poison that could make life worse than death.

But she also loved the child. Putting aside other things, this was the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to after going through untold hardships.

From a utilitarian point of view, in Beili, the probability of the Son of God ascending the throne is always greater than that of the Holy Daughter of God.

When all the current Holy Sons of Beili die, Jiang Mian, the only Holy Son left in her hands, will be her biggest trump card to take over the throne of Beili.

All the Holy Sons of Beili are dead, and there is no Holy Girl. Now she returns with the Holy Son Jiang Mian. Who else dares to stop the only Holy Son from becoming emperor?

But the prerequisite for all this is that Jiang Mian can survive the hurdle of his fifteenth birthday.

In order to keep the biggest trump card in her hand, Concubine Chen is also willing to give it her all.

She found the fortune teller and begged him to tell her how to break the curse.

She originally thought that the master of fate would not agree, and even if he could give her a method, it would not be so easy, at least he would let her suffer a little before she knew the answer. Unexpectedly, the master of fate told her very straightforwardly -

There is no cure for this curse, but there are remedies to alleviate it.

One way is to ask his biological father to give him a courtesy name before his fifteenth birthday.

After all, the curse was cast with the blood of Emperor Dayuan back then, and now using the courtesy name he gave me to wash it away might have an effect.

Another option is to poison Jiang Mian, but this method is more risky.

The two poisonous curses conflicted with each other. If Jiang Mian didn't die faster, there would be a glimmer of hope.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen was extremely glad that she had determined Jiang Mian's life and death so early on.

Hearing that there was life and death in Jiang Mian's body, even the person in charge of fate was shocked.

His eyes widened slightly at first, and then he smiled unconsciously, nodding again and again: "This child is a promising talent!"

He insisted on taking Jiang Mian as his disciple and passing on his lifelong skills to him.

Jiang Mian only studied with him for more than a year, and disappeared mysteriously after the "assassination attempt failed" of Concubine Chen.

He might really have been unable to contact Beili, or his anti-detection awareness was too strong. In short, within that year, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and the Tianhong Sect could not find him anywhere.

Even the fate master couldn't find him at all. He could only know from his life-binding holy beads that he was safe and sound.

A year later, Jiang Mian miraculously appeared in the Tianhong Sect's vision again.

As soon as he appeared, he was respectfully welcomed back by the Beili side and worshipped as the Lord of Beili.

"Mian'er," Concubine Chen spoke softly, pulling Jiang Mian back to his senses. She gently combed Jiang Mian's hair with her hands, her eyes gentle, "The dog emperor of Beili is dying soon. I have already contacted someone and asked Beili to go to war with Dayuan tomorrow."

She raised her head slightly, with a look of joy in her eyes that had not appeared on her face for more than ten years: "Although that dog emperor is really hateful, but, Mian'er, you must remember that Beili is our home, and Dayuan is our enemy!"

Jiang Mian was powerless to refute and could only look up at her. There was a reluctance in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.

"Mian'er," Concubine Chen smiled, "Do you remember what your mission is?"

"..."

"Hmm?" Concubine Chen stopped combing his hair. Her voice was cold and her nails dug deep into his scalp. "Mian'er, have you forgotten?"

"My son," Jiang Mian's eyes could almost be said to be begging. At this moment, he was not afraid of what Concubine Chen would do to him, but what she would do to her beloved A Wei, "I dare not forget."

"tell me the story."

The strength in Concubine Chen's hands loosened, and her eyes became softer.

"Overthrow, Dayuan," Jiang Mian said very slowly, almost enunciating each word, as if he had forgotten and was trying hard to recall, or as if he was gritting his teeth out of extreme hatred, "Revitalize, Beili, unify the world."

"Very good," Concubine Chen nodded gently, picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip. She looked at Jiang Mian and signaled the other teacup with her eyes, "Don't just stand there, drink some tea too."

"Mother," Jiang Mian frowned. At the moment, he was in a state of confusion and had no mood to drink tea. "Your son, I have a favor to ask."

Concubine Chen was in a very good mood at the moment, her eyes were filled with smiles: "Tell me about it."

"Your son begs you to do so," Jiang Mian cupped his hands and bowed gently, "Mother has asked Beili to send out troops one day later."

Concubine Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked unbelievable: "Mian'er, don't mess around!"

"I am not making a fuss. I am just begging you to delay Beili's dispatch of troops by one day. Just one day will do!"

"Why, why did it have to be one day later?" Concubine Chen slowly put down the teacup, her eyes full of coldness, "Don't tell me that there is someone in this abyss that you can't let go of."
