Wei Xiteng sat up suddenly, and the sunlight poured in from the crack of the door and the window, occupying her entire field of vision in an instant.

Frowning for a while to get used to it, Wei Xi looked around and jumped off the couch in confusion.

The half-closed door creaked, Wei hoped to go there, but saw a woman in a white skirt stepping in, and saw her frowning.

"How old are you, why are you still..." The woman in the white skirt walked quickly and straightened her loose clothes, "It's autumn, will you wear more clothes?"

Wei Xi listened to her scolding in a daze, lowered his head and stared at her elegant face, and it took him a while to realize, "I'm not dead?"

"What nonsense." The woman in the white skirt patted her angrily, and went around behind her to get her a coat, "Daddy said there is something urgent to call you over, so you put it on quickly."

Wei Xi adjusted her clothes as if she was sleepwalking, and suddenly turned around before being pushed out of the door, "Sister Rong! How many months is it now?"

She turned around so fast that Shen Rongnian almost bumped into her, with displeasure in his eyes, "On the first day of July, are you sleepy?"

The first day of July... Wei Xi's heart sank a bit. She died on New Year's Eve in the cold winter months, half a year from now.

Wait... Wei Xi was so excited that he almost jumped up, and the boy's loud laughter penetrated the entire corridor.

Shen Rongnian was embraced by her, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, his cheeks were stained red, Wei Xi let go when he was about to react.

"Sister Rong, I thought I would never see you again."

Shen Rongnian glanced at her, thinking she was weird, "Why did you curse me after cursing yourself?"

"No way." Wei Xi hugged her arm happily, bouncing around, "Didn't uncle look for me, let's go quickly, and then go to the horse race!"

Shen Rongnian was disgusted, "You just know how to play."

"It's not all you taught me." Wei Xi walked quickly along the corridor, pulling Shen Rongnian to a trot, his face that was fading from childishness was full of green and youthful look, "Sister Rong, hurry up!"

Shen Rongnian was dragged around by her, and ran along helplessly.

One red and one white floated from the long corridor to the main hall, Wei Xifei also stepped over the threshold and leaned on the chair, propped his chin on his hands and looked at the old general Shen who was sitting in the main seat.

Old General Shen held the letter in his hand, with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing his expression, Wei Xi suddenly felt a little flustered, but soon, she comforted herself that it was only the first day of July.

"Xiaoxi." Old General Shen called her in a deep voice, and raised the secret letter in his hand, "Just take a look."

Wei Xi curled up his hands, a little afraid to take it.

"What?" Shen Rongnian took it for her, unfolded the secret letter, and read the words on it, "Your Majesty is dead."

Wei Xi's face was pale, her hands and feet were curled up and her whole body was cold. Endless nightmares struck her, and everything in front of her eyes was blurred. She could only see a pair of eyes. Those eyes watched her fall into hell coldly, as if the past was like the moon in the mirror. .

"Xiaoxi..." Shen Rongnian pushed her, his eyes were worried, "My condolences."

Wei Xi raised his head abruptly, snatched the secret letter from her hand, and stared at the words on it, "It's only the first day of July!"

The death of her father, the beginning of her nightmare, clearly happened on August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival when the whole family was reunited.

"It's the first day of July." Shen Rongnian stroked her back with one hand, and said softly, "Your Majesty just passed away half a month ago, and you can still go back."

Wei Xi quickly pushed her away, "I won't go back!"

She doesn't want to go back, as long as she doesn't go back... nothing will happen if she doesn't go back, and everything will continue as usual.

"Xiao Xi..."

Wei Xi broke out of the main hall and ran out of the General's Mansion.

"Your Highness Seventh, be careful!" the guard called to her.

Wei Xi had already run to the middle of the street, countless noisy voices poured in, the rough atmosphere of northern Xinjiang rushed to his face, and the whole world was spinning.

Amidst the traffic, she stood here, as if she didn't belong here. The guards anxiously wanted to break through, but they were blocked by the carriage and the crowd.

Wei Xi raised her face, a bright red sun hung on the blue sky, the sun enveloped her and shone on her, reality and fantasy intertwined.

Stretching out his arms slowly, Wei Xi bathed in the blue sky and warm sun.

It was real and tangible, real and audible, and the voice in her ears became clear, and she was hugged tightly.

"Xiaoxi, don't scare me." Shen Rongnian clenched his hands a little more, crying, "What will I do if you die?"

Wei Xi woke up from the confusion, with his arms hanging down, and he laughed, "You don't have to worry about it every day when I die."

Shen Rongnian pinched her, viciously, "If you dare to die, try it. If you dare to die, I will smash my head on your coffin, and even a ghost will not let you go."

Twirling the corners of her mouth, Wei Xi smiled a bit bitterly. She was really blind. She wanted Shen Rongnian not to want her, but she believed in a liar, and finally died in the hands of the liar.

Fortunately, she is back.

"Sister Rong, let's go back." Wei Xi's eyes sparkled, and he took her hand actively, "I won't let you be a ghost."

Shen Rongnian snorted coldly, shook his hands, and said sourly, "What's wrong with you today, you usually don't have time to hide from me."

Wei Xi smiled without saying a word, and held her hand tightly.

Crossing the street, Wei Xi looked down at the secret letter in his palm, and silently read the words on it again, the emperor died, what about Xu Ningzhi?

Already the Queen Mother?

In her previous life, when she received the news, everything was settled. The ninth younger brother ascended the throne, Xu Ningzhi was revered as the queen mother, and her father, the emperor, who she had always respected, had the notoriety of taking away his wife.

She had no choice but to break into the capital with her solitary courage. Instead of being shot to death by random arrows, she was poisoned by Xu Ningzhi instead.

Holding the letter tightly, Wei Xi raised his face and stared at the plaque on the gate of the general's mansion, with a strange light in his eyes.

Going back is death, not going back is death, then it's better to go back, just to meet the old friend, and give yourself and the Shen family a fight.

Even if the fish dies and the net is broken, she has to hold Xu Ning's back!

The two returned to the main hall, General Shen was coughing violently.

Shen Rongnian walked over quickly, stroking his back.

Wei Xi lowered his eyes and hesitated. The Shen family was a family of generals. The old general Shen fought all his life. All three sons died in the battle. Not even a child was left behind. Only one Shen Rongnian was left. Do you really want to gamble with the reputation of the Shen family?

Old General Shen waved his hands, with a look of disappointment on his face, "I'm really old and useless."

"You're not old." Shen Rongnian disagreed.

Old General Shen shook his head, "It's such an old age, I can't accept my old age, dad just can't let you go."

As he spoke, he looked at Wei Xi and frowned.

Wei Xi finally looked up, "Uncle, I want to go back."

"Then go back." Old General Shen said softly.

Wei Xi pursed his lips, and spread his palms, revealing the secret letter inside, "Uncle, Father has always been in good health."

Old General Shen frowned, "So what?"

"The Xu family is ambitious. I suspect that there is something hidden behind the death of the emperor." Wei Xiping was startled.

This is not nonsense. Wei Xi had doubts in his previous life, but he died at the hands of Xu Ning before he could find out the truth.

"Xiaoxi, don't speak nonsense." Old General Shen sullenly straightened his long beard, "There is no proof, and you are far away in the northern border, so what if it is true?"

Wei Xi clenched five fingers, "Go back to Beijing."

"Of course you have to go back, you have to go to the funeral." Old General Shen sighed, "When you go back, Yue Mo will not come again."

Wei Xi looked at him and said bluntly, "Uncle, I can't go back by myself, otherwise there will be bad luck."

Old General Shen also looked at her, his cloudy eyes flashed brightly, "What do you mean?"

"The crown prince has not yet been established, and countless people want me to die."

Old General Shen smiled lowly, "The crown prince has not yet been established...Xiaoxi, don't tell uncle, you want to fight for that seat too?"

This is Dayan's most stubborn and unruly Seventh Emperor's Daughter. When her father passed away, the first thing she thought about was the superior position. Royal people are really ruthless.

"Why not?" Wei Xi stared at him steadfastly, curling up his fingers, "If someone else takes the lead, which one will end well, me or the Shen family?"

Half of Dayan's troops are in northern Xinjiang, and the Shen family is in decline. Countless people want to eat this piece of fat. At the same time, they have also become meat on the chopping board.

"Except for me, who is old and immortal, there is only Rong Nian left in the Shen family? Our orphans and widowers don't know how to return to the farm." Old General Shen said indifferently, curling his lips.

Wei Xi pursed her lips, "Beijiang only recognizes the Shen family."

If the Shen family is not dead, those people will not feel at ease.

"What do you say whether you recognize it or not? As long as Rong Nian doesn't recognize it, my old bones won't last long, and no one will make things difficult for the Shen family." As long as Shen Rongnian doesn't help Wei Xi.

Wei Xi still looked at him straight.

"In the final analysis, you are still for yourself." Old General Shen sneered, without concealing the slightest sarcasm, "for the throne of your Wei family."

Wei Xi didn't deny it.

"It's not impossible." General Shen raised his chin and glanced at her, "But I have a condition."

Wei Xi nodded, "Say it."

"Married Rong Nian."

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Wei Xi froze.

Shen Rongnian was a little embarrassed, "Father!"

"If it wasn't for that Xu Ningzhi who made you lose your soul, you would have married Rong Nian long ago." Wei Xi's first fiancée was Shen Rongnian, but she divorced because of Xu Ningzhi. Wei Xi didn't like it.

Shen Rongnian knelt down, with a mournful expression, "Father, she is already engaged to Xu Ningzhi, if you let the child marry her, do you mean you want the child to be a concubine?"

No matter how much she liked Wei Xi, she would never be her concubine, let alone be inferior to Xu Ning.

"I want you to withdraw the engagement." Old General Shen just looked at Wei Xi with a serious expression, "Retire from the engagement with Xu Ningzhi, and marry Rong Nian again."

Shen Rongnian didn't speak anymore.

Wei Xi was startled, looked at her, and then at Old General Shen.

"As long as you agree, the Shen family's army will be yours." Old General Shen threw out his trump card and stared straight at her.

Her palms were sweating, Wei Xi frowned, she didn't like Old General Shen's coercive methods, but she had to have General Shen's support.

Answer or not, it seems that it is not so difficult to choose.

After all, she died of Xu Ningzhi.

Instead of allowing Xu Ningzhi to occupy the position of her imperial concubine, if she vacated it for Shen Rongnian, she could still get the support of the Shen family.

Letting go of her five fingers, Wei Xi raised her eyes, "I agree."
