Chapter 1 The Evil Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Country
Xie Zhuoning is dead.
The state of Daye celebrated the event nationwide.
"Have you heard? That evil concubine who brought disaster to the country is finally dead!"
"Ah? How did she die? Didn't the emperor say he couldn't bear to touch her?"
"Oh, she's colluding with the enemy, betraying the country, starting a rebellion, and wants to be the emperor herself. Who can tolerate that?"
"Tsk tsk, a woman with such big ambitions deserves to die. After death, she will go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn!"
When people talk about Xie Zhuoning, they are all filled with indignation.
She is the daughter of Marquis Zhenyang and the Crown Princess appointed by the late Emperor.
However, she lived a dissolute life, flirting with men everywhere. It was said that many ministers in the court were her lovers!
She was also cruel and ruthless, and extremely jealous. Any concubine in the harem who was favored by her would be banished to the cold palace by her using various means!
In the end, she was even too lazy to avoid it, and openly formed a clique for personal gain, played power games, fabricated charges, framed loyal officials, and turned the court into a one-man show!
Every day, memorials impeaching her flew into the palace like snowflakes, but they were all suppressed by the emperor.
Everyone knows that the current emperor loves her to the core, dotes on her to no end, and is reluctant to touch her.
It was only due to the unanimous opposition of the ministers in the court that she was not made empress, but only given the title of concubine.
But she was still not satisfied, and she teamed up with the Marquis of Zhenyang to collude with the enemy country, hold the current emperor hostage, and attempt to usurp the throne. In the end, she was shot through the heart by thousands of arrows by the Feiyun Guards who were sent to protect her!
A generation of enchanting concubine fell just like that.
I heard that after her death, no one even collected her body, which was thrown randomly on a mass grave and torn apart and devoured by wild dogs and wolves.
On the day she died, firecrackers were set off in the streets loudly, just like the New Year's Day.
…
Xie Mansion Garden.
"Cousin Zhuoning, I really love you. Will you come with me?"
The scholar-like man looked at her affectionately. He was wearing a dark blue brocade gown that had become slightly white from being washed.
Xie Zhuoning looked at the familiar scene in front of him, his almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed.
She was reborn.
Back to the time when she was seventeen and eloped with Liang Ke.
Liang Ke was her aunt's nephew, from a poor family, and was studying at the Xie family.
In her previous life, she was young and naive, and after being deceived by him, she thought she had met true love and was willing to give up her future status as the Crown Princess to elope with him.
As a result, they didn't run far before they were caught by the servants of the Xie family.
Liang Ke was afraid of suffering physical pain, so he immediately put all the blame on her, saying that he was seduced by her.
She was beaten half to death.
His reputation as a playboy is known to everyone.
Unexpectedly, God took care of her and allowed her to go back to the time when the big mistake had not yet been made.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and chuckled.
She has bright almond eyes and an eye-catching face, like the spring scenery spread out in thick ink. When she smiles, even her voice becomes delicate and charming, as if it is wearing a hook.
Liang Ke raised his eyes and stared at her, almost infatuated, "Cousin Zhuo Ning, I will definitely treat you well for the rest of my life."
"Oh, good to me?" Xie Zhuoning's bright eyes and white teeth revealed a hint of sarcasm.
"You took me away and humiliated my reputation. Is this how you treat me well?"
"You've been in trouble every year, but you're still a nobody. What can you do to me?"
"I have a sick mother in bed and hungry brothers and sisters. The whole family depends on my aunt for support. What good do you think I will get from marrying you?"
The voice was obviously so pleasant, but the sound of it coming at him word by word made Liang Ke dizzy and his face pale.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out words from between his teeth, "I thought cousin Zhuoning was not such a vulgar person, but I didn't expect you to be no different from others, with the same power!"
Xie Zhuoning sneered, "I think you are quite different from others. How can ordinary people be as shameless and thick-skinned as you?"
"Also, you are my aunt's nephew, and have nothing to do with my family. I am not worthy of being called your cousin. Mr. Liang, please call me Miss Xie next time!"
She took two steps back, and the boundary between Chu and Han was clearly demarcated.
After coaxing her for so long, she is about to get it, how can Liang Ke be willing to accept it?
He was so angry that he reached out to grab her, "If you don't come with me, I will make our affair public. Anyway, today is Madam Xie's birthday, and all the powerful people in the capital are in the Xie family. Do you think the prince will still want a useless woman like you when the time comes?"
Xie Zhuoning narrowed his eyes.
No wonder Liang Ke chose today to elope. It turned out that he had already made plans. If I didn't obey, he would fight to the death.
Eloping is nothing more than a little gossip for a man.
But for a woman, a few rumors are enough to ruin her life!
Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but smile. His smile was bright and eye-catching, but his eyes were ruthless and cruel, which was not suitable for someone of his age.
Lifting her leg, she kicked Liang Ke hard in the crotch, "Go to hell, you bastard!"
She looks delicate and frail, but as the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyang, how could she not know a few moves of Kung Fu?
As soon as he stepped down, Liang Ke's crotch began to bleed. He covered his crotch with his hands in pain and rolled on the ground, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much..."
Xie Zhuoning was still not satisfied, so he picked up a stone from the flowerbed and smashed it on Liang Ke's head.
Blood flowed down his head, and he kicked his legs and stopped moving.
Xie Zhuoning searched his body for a while and pulled out a handkerchief. "Found it!"
In the previous life, Liang Ke took this stolen handkerchief and said it was a token of love she gave him, and it also became the ironclad evidence of her private exchange with others.
In this life, she will definitely not go back to the old path.
After putting away the handkerchief, she found a sack to put the person in and dragged him to the backyard.
When it comes to elopement, my aunt was the one who plotted it behind the scenes.
As a courtesy, she naturally had to give a generous gift to her aunt in return!
Today is the old lady's 70th birthday, and everyone is busy in the front yard.
Xie Zhuoning successfully arrived at Jinyutang, where the main room was located, and threw Liang Ke into the bedroom.
Just when he was planning to leave after the task was completed, hiding his achievements and fame, he turned around and was caught by someone.
"What are you doing?"
What are you doing?
That's definitely a bad thing!
How can you let others see you doing bad things?
Xie Zhuoning saw a brick on the side of the road. She picked it up and weighed it. It seemed to be more handy than the stone just now, so she hid it behind her body and walked towards the people with a smile.
It had just rained in the spring, and the air was foggy, like a layer of gauze covering the sky.
But even so, one could still tell that the man was tall and handsome, wearing a gorgeous white robe with dark cloud-like patterns, exuding a cold and noble look.
Getting closer, I finally saw his face clearly.
His features were as pure as ink and wash painting, and seemed cool and clear as if untainted by the worldly affairs.
A man is so ridiculously good-looking.
Xie Zhuoning had originally made up his mind, but he completely forgot everything he had planned the moment he saw him for the first time.
Instead, there is a heart full of anger and resentment!
"What? Fuck your master!"
A surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart, and she rushed up with a brick, wanting to beat him to pieces, slamming him against the wall so that he couldn't be removed.
The next second, the man unsheathed his three-foot-long sword and placed it against her neck.
He stared at her, as if recognizing her, "Miss Xie, do I have a grudge against you?"
