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

After hearing those words, the prince lowered his eyelids slightly and nodded gently.

"Since the emperor has returned to the palace, I should avoid suspicion of his family affairs.

You guys take these people away. I need to go back to my house and rest."

Eunuch Yu bowed and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Prince Duan returned to his carriage and glared at the two people in the carriage.

He pointed at Yun Kaizhou's forehead:

"Look at you! You are such a grown-up, and you dare to do such a dirty thing with the Crown Prince's Consort."

"Father, I know I was wrong."

Xiao Qiongzhu explained softly:

"Your Majesty, please don't blame the prince. I insisted on coming here."

Outside the carriage, An Qing knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"Come in."

An Qing crouched down and entered the carriage cautiously.

He was glad that this was Prince Duan's carriage, which was spacious enough and even the tea sets were neatly arranged.

He didn't care about anything else and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Queen, her personal maid, and Commander Ruan all rolled on the bed together. According to the maid, the three of them had done this many times.

When the emperor saw the empress and Commander Ruan being dragged naked into Changchun Palace, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

Yun Kaizhou said impatiently:

"Just tell me the results of their treatment."

"The queen was imprisoned in a dungeon, and she was probably killed with a cup of poisoned wine. Commander Ruan was confiscated and his entire clan was exterminated.

Originally, the Emperor did not remember Prime Minister Liu in the inner prison, but Concubine Chen mentioned it from the side, and finally Prime Minister Liu was beaten to death.

In order to cover up this scandal, the emperor showed leniency to the queen's family."

"The emperor's body seems to have been stimulated by this, and his condition has worsened."

Dark Green continued,

"I just came from Changchun Palace and heard that Eunuch Gao is ready to summon the imperial physician to the palace."

Yun Kaizhou yawned.

"Forget it. We still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow. Let's go back home first."

Prince Duan also snorted:

"My old bones can't stand your torture any more."

Xiao Qiongzhu quietly pulled Yun Kaizhou's sleeve, and he turned his head to look at her.

"Well, father, please go back home and rest first."

Yun Kaizhou said, "Zhu'er and I will go to Changchun Palace to check the situation. Li Mei'er is from the Dark Guard Camp, I will go and get some information."

Prince Duan also glanced at him and waved his hand: "Go."

An Qing brought the two of them quietly to Changchun Palace.

I found out from Honeysuckle where Shuanglian Liu was imprisoned.

Yun Kaizhou quickly arranged for internal support in the palace and transferred the guards from the dungeon.

Xiao Qiongzhu came to the dungeon alone.

She pushed open the cell door and what came into her sight was Liu Shuanglian lying on the ground.

A piece of rag was casually covered on the snow-white body, and there was still blood at the corner of the mouth.

Liu Shuanglian had already heard the sound.

Her lifeless eyes slightly opened and looked at the girl who suddenly appeared.

She didn't understand why someone would come to visit her when she was so miserable.

"who are you?"

Liu Shuanglian's voice was hoarse and trembling.

Xiao Qiongzhu stood in front of the prison door.

"Liu Shuanglian, I came back from hell just to see you one last time."

Liu Shuanglian felt a chill emanating from the girl.

She widened her eyes and asked tremblingly:

"You...who are you?"

"Of course I am your good friend who grew up with you. Why? You secretly had an affair with Yun Jingxi without telling me, and finally let him kill me with his own hands, pushing me ruthlessly into the abyss, and you got your wish and sat on the throne of the queen. Are you very proud?"

Liu Shuanglian's face was pale. The secret that Yun Jingxi personally ended Xia Fanxing's life and abandoned her body under the cliff was known to no one except her and Yun Jingxi.

Why does this girl in front of me know so many details?

"You? How could you be her?"

Xiao Qiongzhu looked at her face and felt sick.

She laughed and said, "You and Yun Jingxi, you two, you two bastards, think that everything will be fine if you kill me?

"Since you are about to die, I will tell you the truth. I can come back to life... because I am a disciple of Guimen, and Guimen has the mysterious power to bring the dead back to life."

"You, haven't you heard of it?"

After hearing this, Liu Shuanglian was horrified.

"No, that's impossible."

She laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, Xia Fanxing, you want revenge? But I tell you, even if I'm going to die today, I'm still the queen. Yun Jingxi's eyes will no longer have room for you. This position of queen is mine until I die."

Xiao Qiongzhu leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"You are so pitiful. You may not know it yet, but Yun Jingxi has been poisoned a long time ago. I was the one who gave him that inhumane poison.

"Have you ever been able to endure the tortures he has inflicted on you over the past few years? And those eunuchs serving in your palace are all my people.

"There are so many little gifts, all carefully made by me. Are you happy?"

After saying that, she took out pills of various colors, forced them into Liu Shuanglian's mouth, and forced her to swallow them one by one.

Liu Shuanglian struggled desperately, but to no avail. She didn't know what she had swallowed.

"Don't waste your energy. Those pills have already entered your body and started to take effect. You will lose your voice first, then your whole body will rot and every inch of your bones will be broken. Finally, you will die in endless pain."

Liu Shuanglian fell to the ground, tightly grasping Xiao Qiongzhu's skirt, begging: "Please, give me a quick death..."

"You and Yun Jingxi harmed me first, and now I am just returning the pain you inflicted on me.

"I have good news for you. Yun Jingxi will not live long.

"In view of your deep affection, I will send both of you to the mass grave together, so that you will have company on your way to the underworld."

Xiao Qiongzhu's voice was full of sarcasm.

Liu Shuanglian was breathing heavily, her throat was so sore that she could hardly speak.

But she still tried to ask:

"How is this possible? He is the emperor. Even when you were the general's daughter, you were no match for him.

Now you have no identity or background, how can you be so confident that you can shake the imperial power?"

Xiao Qiongzhu looked at her and said word by word:

"The treasure you knew before actually belonged to the father of this body. Now, I am the daughter of the former prince consort. I have wealth that rivals a country and a powerful army.

Isn't it easy to change the emperor? What's more, I am now the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Duan's Mansion, and the Crown Prince Yun Kaizhou is my husband."

"This……"

Liu Shuanglian could only whimper faintly and could no longer utter a complete word.

She looked at Xiao Qiongzhu's back in horror as she left the dungeon.

She never dreamed that the Ghost Gate could really bring the dead back to life.

I never thought that Xia Fanxing was actually a disciple of Guimen.

Why had she never heard of it?

Seven days later, news came from the palace that the emperor had passed away.

Soon after, news came that the Queen chose to follow the Emperor in death because she was too sad.

The originally noisy and bustling scene on the streets of Shangjing City was instantly frozen.

White curtains were hung in front of the shops.

In front of every household, white lanterns sway in the wind.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally there were figures passing by in a hurry, all dressed in white, with endless sorrow on their faces.

All this did not affect Xiao Qiongzhu's eating and drinking while hiding in Prince Duan's mansion.

She had never felt so relaxed, as if this incident had nothing to do with her.

After the funeral in the palace was over, Eunuch Gao read out the imperial edict in public in the court to abdicate the throne to Prince Duan.

The new era name - Xuanqi.

It marks the beginning of a new dynasty.

After the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, Yun Kaizhou was officially named the crown prince.

And Xiao Qiongzhu naturally became the Crown Princess.

As a result, the status of the Xiao family rose rapidly. Xiao Xiangsong led the Longyin Army to merge into the Yulin Army and was appointed as the commander of the Yulin Army.

One day, Taoist Qingxuan found Xiao Qiongzhu.

"Qiongzhu, you asked me to come down from Hengtian Mountain. I've been busy for so long, but the elixir hasn't been refined yet, and that person is gone. I'm used to a free and easy life. It's time to go back to Hengtian Mountain."

Xiao Qiongzhu smiled and said:

"My uncle and the Longyin Army are both in Shangjing City. What are you going to do alone in Hengtian Mountain? Plant medicinal herbs with Old Gu? That's fine too. Go ahead."

Taoist Qingxuan felt a little disappointed when he saw that she did not try to keep him:

"Then I'm really leaving."

Xiao Qiongzhu nodded.

"Go ahead, and come back to the capital after a while."

"Why would I go back to the capital?"

"I have someone build a Taoist temple for you outside of Shangjing City. It is called Jiutian Palace. You are the master of the temple."

Taoist Priest Qingxuan: “…”

Taoist Qingxuan's eyes were moist:

“I’m not a real Taoist priest. Since you built the Nine Heavens Palace for me, I will accept it with reluctance.

But you are the Crown Princess now, so remember to act majestically for me."

"good ."
