Ning Xihua is dead.

By the time she regained consciousness, she had become a wandering ghost.

Perhaps because of her heavy resentment before death, she was forced to be trapped with Su Xu and Lin Mengli.

She watched helplessly as her father was killed by him, and the Ning Wang Mansion was in ruins, but she was powerless to do anything.

She cried out at the top of her lungs and tried desperately to stop it, but her hand only pierced through her father's body.

She hated Su Xu so much that she tried every means to kill him, but she watched him enter the East Palace and finally ascend the throne.

She is just a lonely ghost who can't do anything.

Over the past decade, she has been suffering from hatred and helplessness every day.

He watched Su Xu take over the world, watched him marry Lin Mengli, watched them love each other and have children.

Her heart seemed to be tortured by the hottest iron every moment, and she was surprised that she had not gone crazy after all these years.

Maybe ghosts can't be crazy, just like ghosts can't take revenge on their enemies.

Finally one day, one of her enemies died.

Lin Mengli was deposed by Su Xu because she poisoned the imperial concubine, causing her miscarriage.

Su Xu did not appoint a crown prince, even though Lin Mengli gave birth to his eldest son. However, Lin Mengli's family background was not as good as the four concubines'. For practical reasons, Su Xu naturally wanted to wait and choose a son who suited his heart the most to be the crown prince.

But Lin Mengli couldn't wait any longer. Whether it was for the sake of favor or for the sake of succession, she couldn't let anyone take her son's place.

After being in the harem for more than ten years, she has become well versed in all kinds of secret tactics. This is not the first time she has done this, but this time she hit a wall.

This framed imperial concubine was beautiful and was not only favored by Su Xu, but she was also the daughter of the chief minister of the cabinet.

Previously, Lin Mengli caused another concubine to miscarry, but Su Xu did not pursue the matter because of their friendship. But this time, he could not ignore the anger of the Prime Minister, as he still needed the Prime Minister's support and help in political affairs.

So naturally, Lin Mengli was deposed and sent to the cold palace.

Lin Mengli smiled when she saw the weak imperial concubine bringing over the poisoned wine.

She suddenly felt that this scene was a little absurd, absurd and familiar.

Many years ago, she also held a cup of poisoned wine and personally ended the life of that bright and brilliant woman. Then she stepped on her corpse and became the most noble woman in Dali.

Now, it was her turn to be sent off with poisoned wine, becoming a stepping stone for others to ascend to the throne.

She laughed out loud, thinking it was really karma.

But she doesn't regret it!

She did not regret killing Ning Xihua, nor did she regret working hard for Su Xu all her life, nor did she regret ending up like this.

It was nothing more than a matter of success and failure. She had already enjoyed the honor and wealth that an ordinary concubine's daughter would not deserve in her lifetime. This was enough for her life!

If there was anything she regretted, it was that she shouldn't have naively believed that Su Xu would love her forever. Even though their feelings faded, she still firmly believed that the person Su Xu loved the most was her.

She once thought that they would be able to make it to the end no matter what, but now thinking about it, it is really ironic.

Perhaps her ending was determined the moment Ning Xihua died.

Lin Mengli raised her head and drank the poisoned wine. At the last moment when she closed her eyes, she seemed to see Ning Xihua's face...

Ning Xihua saw Lin Mengli breathe her last and laughed out loud happily.

You have come to this day too!

She started crying again as she laughed, but her old man and her family members would never come back.

She wiped away her tears fiercely. She didn't cry, because she still had an enemy, and she wanted to wait and see when he would get his comeuppance.

Retribution came quickly.

Less than a year after Lin Mengli's death, a people's uprising broke out in Dali because of Su Xu's long-term dictatorship and disregard for people's livelihood.

Beiqiong had been eyeing the situation covetously for more than ten years, and took advantage of this opportunity to send troops, captured several cities in the northern border in one fell swoop, and marched straight to the capital.

Dali was suddenly troubled by internal and external troubles, with wind and rain.

Soon, some ministers in the court colluded with Beiqiong and launched a palace coup.

When Su Xu and his men were hurriedly fleeing the imperial city, he was stabbed from behind, with the knife piercing his heart.

He turned around in disbelief and found that it was Chang Yi, the eunuch who had served him for more than ten years.

Chang Yi calmly pulled out the dagger and said only one sentence.

"I have finally avenged Your Highness."

Before he could be caught, Chang Yi had already committed suicide.

Su Xu died and the Dali State was destroyed.

Ning Xihua finally got her revenge.

She looked at Su Xu's body and felt extremely happy. But after the pleasure was over, she felt desolate.

When a person dies, the lights go out, and love and hate go with the wind.

She had lost everything except hatred. Now that Lin Mengli and Su Xu were both dead, she no longer had hatred.

So what's the point of her existence?

As her resentment dissipated, the force that had been restricting Ning Xihua from escaping also disappeared.

A vague voice in the dark asked her,

"Your fate in this life has come to an end. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Ning Xihua was a little confused. Wish?

She suddenly thought of her family, whom she felt the most sorry for.

"If there is an afterlife, I hope to have a Ning Xihua who can protect my family and live a free and brilliant life."

The voice did not answer her, but in an instant she saw another Ning Xihua's life.

She saw the old man, her second and fourth brothers, and the face that looked exactly like her own.

Moists welled up in her eyes, and she finally let go of the guilt that had been in her heart.

"Thank you."

She said to her softly.

Thank you for protecting my family, thank you for letting me live the life that Ning Xihua wanted.

"Now that your wish has been fulfilled, it's time for you to go."

Ning Xihua nodded, smiled, and let her body gradually dissipate and turn into starlight.

As time and space rotate, those faint starlights drift for a long time and finally land again.

Beiqiongqi City, Prince Rong’s Palace.

"It's born! The princess has given birth! It's a beautiful little princess!"

Prince Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief outside the door. He clasped his hands together and thanked the heavens. As long as the mother and daughter were safe, as long as the mother and daughter were safe.

…

At the age of fifteen, Ru Luoxi was considered the overlord of Qicheng.

From deliberately pulling out the Grand Marshal's beard to flirting with handsome men on the street, she has done all kinds of shameless things.

But no one dared to bother with her. Besides the fact that the little girl had a charming face, her father was one of the four major tribal leaders in Beiqiong.

If He Lou had not conquered the four major tribes and finally became the king, at least one-third of the people in Beiqiong would have called her a princess.

Although Beiqiong followed Dali's example and made the leaders of the four major tribes princes, and the Helou clan was crowned king in the royal court, in the hearts of the people of each tribe, the status of the chieftain's clan was still comparable to that of the royal court.

Therefore, as the only princess of the Ru Luo family, Ru Luoxi's noble status and degree of favor can be imagined.

On this day, Ru Luoxi was searching for beauties on the street as usual.

Just when she was bored, she saw a young man riding a horse into the city gate.

The boy had healthy wheat-colored skin, a baby face with deep gray pupils and a high humpback nose, clean lines and deep facial features.

What is more dazzling than his handsome appearance is the carefree youthful spirit in him, which is like the hottest sunshine in summer, making everyone who looks at him feel the vibrant vitality.

Ru Luoxi put down the dogtail grass in her mouth, her eyes shining.

It's him.
