After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Xiao Qiongzhu recalled the news she had received earlier that Prime Minister Liu was still in the inner prison, living a comfortable life.

If Yun Jingxi returns to the palace, perhaps the matter of the missing dowry in the warehouse will be transferred to Yun Kaizhou.

She had to make Prime Minister Liu a complete scapegoat.

"Uncle, I have something to ask of you when you return to the capital. Before Yun Jingxi returns to the palace, you must find a way to deal with Prime Minister Liu. I want him to never step out of the inner prison."

Xiao Xiangsong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"I'm afraid this won't be easy. We have limited power in the palace, not to mention that the inner prison is full of Prime Minister Liu's cronies. But Prince Duan is now the regent, maybe he has a solution."

Xiao Qiongzhu recalled the border war that Yun Kaizhou mentioned today. She looked at Xiao Xiangsong:

"Uncle, when the great cause is accomplished, there may be wars on the border. At that time, I may recommend you to Yun Kaizhou and go to the border. You need to prepare early. Whether the Xiao family can rise again depends on this trip. Fanxing Pavilion will prepare everything you need to ensure that you have no worries."

When Xiao Xiangsong heard this, his blood boiled.

After years of hiding and suppressing, the moment of explosion is finally approaching.

The day he had longed to see the light of day again was finally coming.

He knew that in the eyes of the world, they were all remnants of the previous dynasty, despised and hunted down.

However, they never gave up their beliefs and pursuits.

They have been quietly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to come.

"Zhu'er, don't worry. I have been waiting for this opportunity for many years, and I will definitely seize it. The court is now corrupt, and our chance is right in front of us."

"Uncle, you must be careful and not be careless. This matter concerns the future of our Xiao family and the lives of people in the world." Xiao Qiongzhu solemnly instructed.

Xiao Xiangsong agreed slightly. For the Xiao family, they had waited for this moment for too long and now they finally saw hope.

……

On the other side of the palace, there was chaos around Yun Jingxi.

Eunuch Gao's face was covered with sweat of fear and anxiety.

The emperor's sudden vomiting of blood caught everyone off guard.

The imperial doctors who accompanied them were even more flustered. They usually prided themselves on their superb medical skills, but at this moment they seemed particularly powerless.

They tried various methods, from acupuncture to herbal medicine, from massage to qigong, but the emperor's vomiting of blood did not decrease at all, but became more and more severe.

At this time, an imperial physician who was close to Eunuch Gao couldn't help but express his worry, so he pulled Eunuch Gao aside and whispered:

"Eunuch Gao, this matter is of great importance. I really cannot explain the emperor's condition with medical knowledge. His behavior is more like being possessed by evil spirits rather than a physical illness. I know that as an imperial physician, I should not believe in such unorthodox theories. But at this moment, I am really helpless."

He paused and continued, "If the emperor's condition can be temporarily stabilized, we must set off and return to Shangjing City immediately. Cangzhou seems to have some strange power that we are not aware of yet, so we should not stay here for long. We must bring the emperor back to the capital as soon as possible."

Eunuch Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking anxious:

"Doctor Li, your medical skills are unmatched, but the emperor's body... I'm afraid we need to wait until he wakes up before we can make a decision. If the emperor doesn't wake up..."

Li Meir was guarding outside the door at the moment, and she already understood a little bit.

Ever since the prince took the emperor's hair from her hands, the emperor fell into a painful struggle and kept vomiting blood shortly after returning from the garden party.

She secretly peeked into the house to see what was going on.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor, no one noticed her.

She took advantage of this gap, quietly left the crowd, and found a secluded place.

She whispered to Ren Dong beside her, "Ren Dong, quickly send a message to inform the prince that the emperor is in a critical condition and is vomiting blood. Perhaps Eunuch Gao and others are preparing to return to the capital."

Honeysuckle nodded, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.

As night fell, Xiao Qiongzhu brought a jar of Yu Lu wine and found her senior brother Ji Guiyi.

The two sat side by side in the yard, admiring the watery moonlight.

Xiao Qiongzhu gently opened the lid of the wine jar, and immediately, a rich aroma of wine wafted out of the jar.

Ji Guiyi sniffed it with great ecstasy: "It's still the aroma of this wine. Only my master has the leisure and elegance to develop such a good wine."

"Haha, Senior Brother, you think this wine tastes good too, right? Senior Brother, I have another question that has been weighing on my mind and I can't let it go. Will I have a chance to see Master again? I really miss him."

Xiao Qiongzhu's voice was choked with sobs.

Ji Guiyi was silent for a moment, with a hint of sadness in his eyes: "Your master...is indeed not in good health. But you don't have to worry too much, he always misses you."

Xiao Qiongzhu felt uneasy when she heard this: "Master, is he... seriously ill?"

Ji Guiyi sighed, unable to tell him directly about his master's illness.

Uncle Master has been relying on the rare medicinal herbs from Guimen to stay alive. If he hadn't been thinking about Junior Sister all the time, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until this day.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Ji Guiyi comforted softly.

On a quiet night, the moonlight shines on Xiao Qiongzhu's stern face.

She looked at the bright moon, her heart filled with worry and helplessness towards her master.

She knew that she couldn't get any more information about her master from Ji Guiyi.

"It seems that Master's health condition is not optimistic."

Xiao Qiongzhu whispered to herself, her voice revealing deep worry.

Ji Guiyi looked at Xiao Qiongzhu with mixed feelings.

He didn't want to make his junior sister too worried, so he changed the subject:

"Now that you have decided to take revenge, how far do you plan to go?"

The fierce murderous aura emanating from Xiao Qiongzhu suddenly became stronger.

She spoke slowly:

“Those people have to die.”

Ji Guiyi's eyes were as deep as the sea. He was silent for a moment and then said:

"You are a man destined by heaven to be a phoenix. Your existence is not just for revenge. I have calculated the will of heaven. This Celestial Empire is about to face an unprecedented turmoil. And you, as a key figure in it, cannot focus all your attention on personal vengeance. If you want those people to die, it is easy, but do not delay, lest you bring endless suffering to the people."

Xiao Qiongzhu looked at her mysterious senior brother. She still couldn't see through him.

So she nodded seriously: "When a new emperor ascends the throne and the dynasty changes, there has always been bloodshed. I must stabilize the court, otherwise the border will fall into turmoil. I must not let those ambitious people harm the people."

Ji Guiyi nodded with satisfaction: "Junior sister, your fate is destined to leave a strong mark in the history. You must understand that every choice you make is related to the rise and fall of this Celestial Empire."

Xiao Qiongzhu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "Brother, I understand."

She picked up the glass and drank it all.

Seeing that she was a little drunk, Ji Guiyi stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Xiao Qiongzhu nodded: "Good night, Senior Brother."
