Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

The news that Nan Huaishuo had left the imperial study unharmed soon reached Prince Jin's mansion.

After listening to the guard's report, Lin Yushu, who was changing Nan Rongjing's dressing, paused.

"As you expected, Emperor Ming did not attack Nan Huaishuo."

Lin Yushu said somewhat unwillingly that she could actually guess the result, but she still felt aggrieved.

It was almost there. If Emperor Ming had imprisoned Nan Huaishuo in the Cliff Prison, Lin Yushu would have a way to make him die in her hands.

Moreover, Lin Yushu's revenge is never simply about killing. Thinking back to everything Nan Huaishuo and Lin Qingrou had done to her and her family in her previous life, she must make these people lose everything before dying in this life!

To kill someone, you must first destroy the heart.

Nan Rongjing looked at Lin Yushu's unconvinced look and wanted to laugh. He raised his uninjured arm and rubbed her head. Suddenly, several pearl hairpins fell down with a crackling sound.

Lin Yushu: ...

Lin Yushu has lived two lifetimes and thinks she knows Emperor Ming quite well, but she is still no match for Nan Rongjing, who has been battling wits and courage with Emperor Ming since childhood.

"Are you discouraged already?" Nan Rongjing teased.

Lin Yushu immediately perked up after hearing this, "How is that possible? There's still a long way to go, let's wait and see!"

"No need to come later. Someone will take care of Nan Huaishuo for us."

Lin Yushu was stunned for a moment, then understood after a brief thought, "Queen?"

Nan Rongjing nodded with a smile, "I have already sent the message out, the Queen will definitely not let it go."

Lin Yushu felt a little relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that all her efforts were not in vain.

Afterwards, Lin Yushu raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Nan Rongjing, who was playing with the bottle of the wound medicine that Lin Yushu had just made.

After changing the medicine, Lin Yushu looked out the window thoughtfully. She had questions in her mind but couldn't ask them.

After Nan Rongjing came back from Youzhou, he never mentioned the news he got in Youzhou, which was related to Nan Rongjing's mother's privacy.

Nan Rongjing seemed to see through Lin Yushu's thoughts and sighed.

"The marriage between you and me has been decided. The affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion are your affairs. You can ask whatever you want."

Lin Yushu was startled, then smiled shyly and did not respond.

Nan Rongjing had no choice but to speak directly.

"I learned about my mother's past and her death from my father..."

Lin Yushu raised her head and looked at Nan Rongjing seriously, listening silently.

"My mother Xuan Yue became the Saint of the East Wu Kingdom when she was sixteen years old. According to the tradition of the East Wu Kingdom, the Saint shall step down at the latest at the age of thirty-six. A Saint of thirty-six shall step down regardless of whether she has given birth to a daughter to take over. If she has not given birth to a daughter, the priests of the East Wu Kingdom will select the next Saint from the Black Water Tribe and the White Water Tribe..."

Xuan Yue's great-grandmother happened to be a chosen saint. From Xuan Yue's description, King Jin learned that this great-grandmother was extremely wise.

My great-grandmother became a saint at the age of twelve. She deduced the existence of water torture from the ancient books of the East Witch Kingdom and the words of some old maids.

If a saint gave birth to a dead or deformed baby, she would be waterboarded.

As for what water torture is, everyone has different opinions, but they all mentioned the Bilan River.

So my great-grandmother speculated that the saint would be thrown into the Bi Lan River when the river was at its highest to atone for the sin of giving birth to an unhealthy baby.

Not only that, my great-grandmother kept reading ancient books and the history books of the East Witch Kingdom. She discovered that after every newly selected saint, every two or three generations of saints would inevitably give birth to unhealthy babies.

If this is true, then my great-grandmother does not need to worry about her own safety, after all, she is the first generation saint.

But the great-grandmother didn't think so. In the future, it would be either her granddaughter or her great-granddaughter who would die, so she had to plan for them in advance.

So after Xuan Yue's grandmother was born, her great-grandmother pushed her hard to practice swimming and breath holding. In addition, her great-grandmother also secretly trained a group of guards, who are now the shadow guards around Nan Rongjing.

The saint has no real power. This has been the tradition of the East Witch Kingdom for hundreds of years. My great-grandmother is completely unable to resist the orders of the King of the East Witch Kingdom on her own.

So she let her daughter practice swimming and holding her breath so that she could survive the turbulent waters of the Bilan River.

The secret cultivation of a small but extremely loyal guards was to ensure that after she survived, someone would protect her and help her escape from the East Witch Kingdom, become an ordinary person, and continue to live a good life.

My grandmother knew the inside story, and when she took over the position of Saint, she did the same two things again.

Xuan Yue's mother's ability to swim and hold her breath was trained to be miraculous, and the number of shadow guards also increased from a dozen to dozens.

The grandmother shed tears when Xuan Yue's mother took over the position of Saint. Perhaps it would be her daughter who would be subjected to water torture.

But with God's mercy, Xuan Yue's mother gave birth to a healthy Xuan Yue as her first pregnancy.

Thus, the handover between life and death came between Xuan Yue and her mother.

The kings of the East Wu Kingdom have always believed that the saint likes swimming, so they have never doubted their actions for generations.

Xuan Yue's great-grandmother, grandmother and her mother have always behaved very well.

She honestly fed the gold-loving insect with its flesh and blood, calmly accepted the sexual intercourse with the monarch, and happily waited for pregnancy and childbirth.

When it came to Xuan Yue's generation, Xuan Yue knew that there was a high possibility that she would give birth to an unhealthy baby, and Xuan Yue's mother also knew this.

So when training Xuan Yue, he put in a hundred times the effort that her grandmother put in when training her.

Xuan Yue often swam until she was so tired that she passed out in the water, and held her breath until the blood vessels in the corners of her eyes burst, but she never stopped.

Swim down, keep swimming down, you can't breathe, you must hold on!

Only by holding on can she survive!

Live, do your best to survive!

This is the only thought that supports four generations of their family, and it has also been Xuan Yue's goal since she was born.

She wants to live well!

Time passed quickly. Xuan Yue ascended the throne of Saint at the age of sixteen, and the countdown to her death also began at this time.

Due to years of inhumane training and worries about the future, my great-grandmother and grandmother were not long-lived, but they lived longer than ordinary people in the East Witch Kingdom. They both passed away happily when their daughters gave birth to healthy daughters.

But Xuan Yue's mother certainly did not have this blessing. Three years after she stepped down, she learned that Xuan Yue had given birth to a healthy baby boy.

The baby boy born to the saint and the king can become a priest in the future, or he can compete for the throne as a prince.

But this is not the end. The saint must give birth to a healthy baby girl to complete her mission.

So Xuan Yue's mother lived in worry for another two years, and then received the news that Xuan Yue had given birth to a stillborn baby...
