Chapter 1 Rebirth
The night was low, and the night sky was like a white paper splashed with thick ink, and there was no light at all. Even the moon was covered by dark clouds.

There is already a curfew in Beijing, but the dispute has just ended.

There is still a strong smell of blood in the air, and the bloodstains splashed on the green bricks have not been washed away.

On a quiet street, a pear-blossom carriage rolled past green bricks.

An obvious blood-stained rut was left on the ground, and finally stopped in front of a mansion on Xuanwu Street, west of Shangjing.

A woman dressed in golden satin and full of jewels stepped out of the carriage.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the mansion in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a smug smile froze.

In a courtyard above the house, a dark candlestick reflected a figure holding something on the wall, vaguely.

"My dear madam, you'd better take this medicine, drink it quickly, and don't let the old slave do it. It doesn't matter how serious the old slave is, so don't hurt you when the time comes."

The fat nanny with big arms and round waist smiled maliciously. The medicine in her hand gave off an aura that spread throughout the room. The smell was pungent, and one could tell it was not a good thing when she smelled it.

The servant girl standing by the bed's eyes were red with anger, "Madam Li, Madam treats you well on weekdays, how could you treat Madam like this!"

"What did Sister Yuxiu say, Madam is sick, my mother gave Madam medicine, why can't it work. You are blocking my mother, what is your intention?"

Nanny Li was wearing red and green girls, and she had a good nose and eyes in what she said. Those who didn't know really thought they were some good things.

Yuxiu didn't say anything about the shameless mother and daughter, she just burst into tears.

He just trembled with anger and refused to move a step, tightly guarding the woman lying on the bed behind him.

When the mother and daughter saw that they could not move her, they wanted to use force.

But before he stepped forward, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind came in.

The woman lying on the bed opened her eyelids, her amber pupils were as delicate as jewels, and her expression was calm.

When the mother and daughter saw the person coming, they begged for mercy.

"Miss, forgive me, it's all because the old slave is useless, and the medicine hasn't been fed yet."

Zhong Ling directly blamed Yuxiu, "Miss, it was Yuxiu who stopped me and refused to let my mother feed the medicine."

Yuxiu looked at the person coming, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Second Miss! Second Miss, why did you want to kill my wife! Zhong Ling, Mama Li, did Madam treat you well? Why did you betray Madam!"

Xie Luoyao strolled into the house leisurely, without even looking at Yuxiu, she raised her hand to give orders to the people behind her.

"Take her down, find a place to solve it, and do it neatly."

The servant who was following her called two people to drag Yuxiu out.

Yuxiu is the big girl next to Xie Tinglan, and she is also thin-skinned and tender-skinned, a sign of her looks.

The young servant became lustful, and before leaving, he asked Xie Luoyao for instructions: "Second miss, this slave thinks that this girl was born with such a symbol, it would be a pity to die, this slave will have this blessing...?"

Xie Luoyao raised her slender willow eyebrows, and she glanced at Xie Tinglan who had just sat up from the bed with cold brows, and giggled a few times.

"Okay, you have to treat her 'well', this Yuxiu is my sister's closest girl."

The little servant kept saying yes, and ran out impatiently.

Mother Li put down the poison, and also pulled Zhong Ling back with interest.

Xie Luoyao observed Xie Tinglan's expression, seeing that she was still indifferent, the joy in her heart froze for a moment.

She snorted coldly and said mockingly: "This Yuxiu is loyal to my sister, but it seems like my sister doesn't care about her at all."

"What are you doing."

Xie Luoyao's throat choked up, as if she had punched cotton, she gritted her teeth bitterly.

"What are you doing? Of course I'm here to see my sister off!"

"Thanks to my sister's ingenious plan, she used a trick to divert the disaster to the east, and at the same time hijacked the Nanwang and the deposed prince. Now the prince's people have controlled the entire Shangjing, and all the courtiers and generals' families. The prince's enthronement is about to come, and my sister will naturally retire. .”

Xie Tinglan groaned, and said slowly: "So, I helped him seize the world, but now he wants to kill me. Then you are, you have already had a secret relationship with him, haven't you?"

Xie Luoyao said unwillingly: "What are you secretly doing? The lord and I really love each other, and the lord is just playing tricks on you! Why do you think that you, a married woman, are worthy of the lord? I'm afraid you don't know yet, you Husband is also hypocritical towards you!"

Speaking of this, it happened that there were footsteps passing by under the porch outside the house, and after a while, someone pushed the door open and entered.

The woman's voice was gentle and soft, and she said with a smile: "I heard that the second young lady came to visit my sister at the house, why don't you tell Shuangshuang first, so that Shuangshuang can send someone to pick you up."

Xie Luoyao said with a smile: "You just happened to come, I was about to talk to my sister about you and Mr. Gu."

Mu Shuangshuang put one hand on her abdomen, and the other hand opened the curtain and walked into the room.

In front of Xie Tinglan on weekdays, Mu Shuangshuang, who was cautious and prudent, now held her chin up like a proud cockfighting cock, with four big characters written on the corners of her eyes and brows.

She smiled maliciously, without even bending her legs, she stood on the spot and said to Xie Tinglan: "Shuangshuang pays respects to cousin-in-law."

"Please pardon my cousin, the child in Shuangshuang's belly is less than two months old. Cousin said, don't let me work hard on weekdays. Forgive Shuangshuang for not being able to salute cousin."

Xie Luoyao covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, and said: "It's at this time, what are you still called cousin sister-in-law, when Gu Changjun welcomes you in, you should respect her as a lady."

"What madam, she is not worthy to be my son's wife."

The door was pushed open with a bang, and a luxuriously dressed woman stepped in, her eyebrows were full of disgust and resentment, and her words were so mean that it made one's teeth ache.

Mu Shuangshuang coquettishly called mother, stepped forward and took Gu's mother's arm.

Gu's mother gave Xie Luoyao a flattering gift, and immediately separated herself from Xie Tinglan.

"Second miss, my son's divorce letter has already been written. Xie Tinglan has nothing to do with my Gu family in the future. You and the emperor can deal with her as you want. My daughter-in-law of the Gu family will only have Shuangshuang in the future. .”

Xie Luoyao clicked her tongue several times, staring at Xie Tinglan with cynicism.

"Sister, look, you've been married into the Gu family for three years anyway. You didn't fight for Gu Changjun's property in the Gu family. Without you, how could Gu Changjun, a grassroots civil servant, live in the family?" It's so glamorous. It's a pity that my sister has devoted herself to the Gu family, and there is no one in the Gu family, thinking of you."

Mother Gu was annoyed by Xie Luoyao's yin and yang, and she couldn't bear it, but Xie Luoyao's current status was not something she could provoke.

Mother Gu had an idea, and said: "Second Miss, you can't blame Laoshen and Changjun for this. Go and ask, which mistress has been in the house for three years and has not left a child for the head of the house, and the head of the house is not allowed to take concubines. Thank you Ting Lan is a jealous woman, not to mention she is not on good terms with you. Mr. Chang respects you and the emperor the most, so naturally the old man does the same."

Mother Gu's words not only belittled Xie Tinglan, but also flattered Xie Luoyao without any trace, which made her very useful.

Xie Tinglan sat on the side of the bed, looked at Gu's mother indifferently, and was too lazy to discuss the old score with her at this time.

Xie Luoyao also knew that Xie Tinglan didn't love Gu Changjun, and what Gu's mother and Mu Shuangshuang did would naturally not make her suffer.

She asked the two of them to come this time because she just wanted to make things difficult for Xie Tinglan.

"Okay, you all go out, I want to have a few words with my sister alone."

"Yes, yes, Second Miss, please talk slowly."

After the two saluted, they retreated.

Xie Luoyao and the others had left before standing up and walking slowly in front of Xie Tinglan.

"My good sister, don't carry it on, you are on the verge of failure now, life and death are in my hands, what are you pretending to do!"

The more indifferent Xie Tinglan was, the more unhappy Xie Luoyao became.

"If you kneel down now and kowtow to me a few times, I'm happy for a while, and maybe I can give you a good time."

Xie Tinglan sat cross-legged, with his hands hanging on his knees, and slowly stretched his cuffs.

"I have been an ally with Fu Min for five years. Since he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, then I will, of course, devote all my efforts to these five years, and get back my profits."

Xie Luoyao laughed back angrily, raised her voice and mocked: "Xie Tinglan, take a good look at yourself, what are you now? The Wei family has collapsed, and Daddy doesn't even recognize you. Your name has long since passed away. The genealogy of the Xie family has been crossed out, you have nothing, and whether you can live in the future depends on the prince... Oh no, it is the breath of the emperor!"

Xie Tinglan didn't say a word, but looked at Xie Luoyao with a hint of pity.

Xie Luoyao exploded immediately.

"Xie Tinglan, what are you!"

"You still think you are the empress? You are the next wife of the Gu family! This time I am the one standing next to the prince! I am the empress! The shame you brought to me last time, I will leave untouched this time." Give it back to you if you don’t move!”

Xie Tinglan's calm expression suddenly changed, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Luoyao, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Seeing her reaction, Xie Luoyao became even crazier.

"Sure enough, you still miss the prince! Do you feel wronged! Why did you make so many schemes for the prince, and the prince finally let you marry Gu Changjun?"

Xie Tinglan looked at Xie Luoyao, her thin lips pursed slightly.

Xie Luoyao couldn't help laughing.

"Sister, let me tell you a secret."

She bent down, fixed her eyes on Xie Tinglan, and told her word by word: "Actually, I have lived two lives."

"It was I who ruined you and Ah Min. I approached him early and helped him climb up a little bit by relying on what I knew in my previous life. But sister, do you know? These are actually what my sister did, and I just copied it. , so Ah Min he, he fell in love with me! He doesn't like you anymore!"

Xie Luoyao laughed and burst into tears, "Sister, don't blame me, who let God let me live an extra life."

After listening to Xie Tinglan, she couldn't help being curious, "I really married Fu Min? What happened next?"

Xie Luoyao's laughter stopped abruptly.

A trace of resentment flashed across her flushed flushed face.

But then she snorted coldly and said, "Don't be complacent, it doesn't make sense for your queen to do it. After the prince accepted the show girl, he kept favoring the concubine. You are just being remembered by the prince. Charity, you just sit on the queen's throne, and you won't even have an heir in the end."

"But sister, don't worry, when I become a queen, I will definitely not learn from my sister."

Xie Tinglan couldn't help laughing.

Xie Luoyao's smile disappeared instantly.

She gritted her back molars angrily, and when she was about to speak out, the sound of crying came from outside the house.

The sound came from far to near, and soon reached the door.

"Second Miss! Second Miss!"

Mu Shuangshuang pushed open the door with a pale face, tripped over the door frame in anxiety, and lay on the ground in embarrassment.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of armor colliding, and the sound of footsteps gradually approached.

Mu Shuangshuang looked back, trembling with fright, ran into the inner room scrambling.

"Second Miss, help!"

Xie Luoyao was interrupted, and angrily slapped Mu Shuangshuang on the face.

Cursed: "What's the noise at night! It's haunted!"

Xie Tinglan sat up from the bed, put on the embroidered shoes, and leisurely pulled a fox fur coat over her shoulders.

After being beaten, Mu Shuangshuang didn't dare to make a sound, she cried and said, "Second Miss, someone broke into the house and tied up my cousin and mother, go and have a look!"

Xie Luoyao gasped, and staggered for a while without stopping.

Holding onto the corner of the table, he managed to stabilize his body.

"how can that be possible!"

Gu Changjun, isn't Gu Changjun with the prince?

He was arrested, isn't the prince——

Xie Luoyao hurried out of the room.

But as soon as she walked to the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

The narrow courtyard was surrounded by countless soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons.

The leading man, with blood still on his face, was holding a man with his head bowed in his hand. After guessing, it was not difficult to know that it was Gu Changjun.

"You, who are you!"

Xie Luoyao held back her fear, clasping her palms with her fingertips, "I am from the King of Beixiang! The prince has already removed the rebels and occupied the imperial city. If you don't want your family to be wiped out, you can arrest them quickly!"

"Commander Li."

Xie Tinglan came out from behind Xie Luoyao.

Under Xie Luoyao's unbelievable gaze, he walked towards the chaotic party in front of him, and asked the man at the head familiarly: "How's the situation?"

Li Cheng mentioned that it is not easy to salute, so he nodded slightly to show respect, and replied: "The rebellious party has been executed, and His Highness is now in the palace to deal with the follow-up matters, so, first send his subordinates to rescue the young lady."

Xie Luoyao's eyes widened, she leaned against the door, and slowly slid her body to the ground.

She stayed there for quite a while before shouting: "Xie Tinglan, you bitch! You actually betrayed the prince!"

Seeing that Xie Tinglan had come out, Li Cheng naturally raised his hand without any scruples and asked his subordinates to control Xie Luoyao and Mu Shuangshuang.

Xie Luoyao struggled fiercely, and when she was escorted to the main room, she was already so embarrassed that she couldn't see what she looked like when she came here.

With hatred and remorse in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and asked Xie Tinglan: "You have already prepared, haven't you? When did you betray the prince!"

Xie Tinglan frowned, looked down at her and said, "Not everyone likes to tell stories to others like you."

"And you two, with such poor acting skills, you are no different from jumping clowns."

"Lan Lan..."

A faint call came from beside him.

Xie Tinglan looked over and saw that Li Cheng had sent someone to wake up the unconscious Gu Changjun with water.

He reacted quickly, the first thing he did when he woke up was to confess his mistake to Xie Tinglan in tears.

"Lanlan, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Xie Tinglan said casually, "The child in Mu Shuangshuang's stomach, did she stuff it in herself?"

Mu Shuangshuang, who was kneeling behind her, had an ashen-colored face, and her figure was already crumbling.

Seeing that her son had woken up, Gu's mother hurriedly helped her son speak: "Lanlan, you heard what Wei Niang said, it was really a misunderstanding! Wei Niang was forced by Xie Luoyao just now!"

Gu's mother cried with snot and tears, "It's Xie Luoyao and King Beixiang who put pressure on the elder and mother. We must divorce you, and let our whole family be buried with you. Lanlan, The lives of the Gu family's dozens of people, as a mother, I really can't ignore—"

"Old witch, you are talking nonsense." Xie Luoyao subconsciously refuted, and then laughed.

"Do you think she will let you go if you say that? How can such a good thing happen, Xie Tinglan will take revenge on her!"

Gu's mother was terrified, and quickly interrupted Xie Luoyao's words in fear, "You are talking nonsense! Lan Lan has a pure heart and is her mother-in-law, how can she not understand her! It is because of you instigating that our Gu family can't do it. Ansheng! Lanlan, listen to your mother and kill her, you and Changjun, live a good life..."

"Yes, Lanlan! I swear, I swear, I will treat you better in the future!"

Xie Tinglan looked at Gu Changjun, "What's wrong with Mu Shuangshuang's stomach?"

Gu Changjun's smile froze.

He immediately said: "Lanlan, she seduced me by Mu Shuangshuang, it was all her! I drank some wine at the time, and she used that time... I swear it was only that one time, Lanlan, I love you!" You are the only one who loves me!"

"That's right, it's the Chang Jun who was seduced by Mu Shuangshuang! Lan Lan, you are my mother, it's all Mu Shuangshuang's fault, and it has nothing to do with Chang Jun!"

"Cousin...aunt..." Mu Shuangshuang burst into tears.

She couldn't believe that before, in her ears, she had a good sister, a good cousin and aunt, but in order to survive, she did not hesitate to push all the faults to her.

Gu Changjun is still showing his loyalty to Xie Tinglan.

Xie Tinglan was unmoved, she waited quietly for a while, and walked in from outside the main room alone.

Holding a brown bowl of medicine in his hand.

With a cold face, Yuxiu walked up to Mu Shuangshuang's side, squeezed her chin without saying a word, and forcibly gulped down the medicine.

Mother Gu didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of reluctance and hatred.

The same is true for Gu Changjun, he lowered his head, not looking at Mu Shuangshuang's distorted face from the pain of forced abortion after being drugged.

Looking up at Xie Tinglan, she squeezed out a gentle smile, "Lanlan, are you relieved now?"

Xie Tinglan looked at the mother and son in front of him, obviously wanted to tear her apart but had no choice but to bend down and pretend to be a little girl, couldn't help laughing out loud.

She raised her hand to signal Yuxiu, and dragged Mu Shuangshuang out.

She said slowly: "Mu Shuangshuang's child is gone, but how can you guarantee that there won't be a second Mu Shuangshuang?"

Gu Changjun's smile gradually disappeared.

"You, what do you want?"

Xie Tinglan said word by word: "Cut the weeds and get rid of the roots."

When Yuxiu who went out to put the bowls back came back, she brought another person behind her.

After he stood still, he bowed and said, "I have seen you."

With a high-pitched voice, one could tell the identity of the person coming.

The blood on Gu Changjun's face faded.

Mother Gu hasn't reacted yet.

Until I heard the conversation between Xie Tinglan and him.

"Yuxiu told me that she is looking for a father-in-law with the best skills..."

"My lord, this slave has been doing this in the palace for decades. Every eunuch who enters the palace is going to this slave. I must make it clean for you, and it won't grow back at all after keeping it. , will not disappoint you.”

After Gu's mother stayed for a second, her screams almost pierced through the eaves.

"Xie Tinglan! You can't do this to Mr. Chang!"

Xie Tinglan turned a deaf ear, still smiling dignifiedly, but said the words coldly: "In that case, please trouble your father-in-law. Take him down."

"Xie Tinglan! You can't do this!" Gu Changjun looked at the approaching guards and screamed, trying to dodge but there was nowhere to hide.

Gu's mother watched her son being taken down, her psychological defense completely collapsed.

"Xie Tinglan, you little slut! Jealous woman! You can't have children yourself, so you won't let Changjun have children, you vicious woman, I should have let Changjun sink you in the first place! You will never be able to in this life Terrible!"

Yuxiu trembled all over, went to grab Gu's mother's hair, and slapped her face a few times.

After beating Gu's mother until she was dizzy and unable to speak, Yuxiu spat on her face.

"My lady has endured you for so long, and your Gu family is a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves! At the beginning, Gu Zhangjun himself swore to marry my lady, and after saying that he didn't mind if she couldn't have one, he just took a fancy to her for making money for your Gu family. Bar!"

"Miss, how can I be sorry for you after entering the door? The clothes you wear, the things you wear on your head, and the things you eat and live in on weekdays, none of them are earned by the lady! You rely on my lady to be able to eat and drink. Miss Dislike. You take it all off! You only deserve to wear sackcloth and rags!"

Yuxiu stripped Gu's mother to only her underwear and trousers, and when she pulled out the hairpin, she pulled out several pieces of her hair bald because of too much force.

Gu's mother couldn't stand the humiliation, she passed out as soon as she rolled her eyes.

Xie Tinglan watched coldly, and waited for Yuxiu to vent her anger, before she comforted her: "Okay, don't get angry because of the animals."

She called Li Cheng in, and politely nodded at him, "Take Commander Li with you, and deal with it as you like."

Yu Xiuduo asked: "Commander Li, I wonder how His Highness the Crown Prince will deal with the members of the Gu family?"

"His Highness said that according to the crime of treason, he will be dealt with together with all Fu Min's party members."

All henchmen...

Xie Tinglan asked: "The Xie family is also the same?"

"good."

Xie Tinglan evoked a satisfied smile, clapped his hands and said, "Very good."

Xie Luoyao felt cold all over, she looked at Xie Tinglan's undisguised joy, and asked in shock: "Xie Tinglan, do you want him to execute father and grandmother? Even if you don't care about father and grandmother, where There is also your own mother and younger sister!"

Yuxiu stepped forward to help Xie Tinglan get up, "Miss, I will help you to rest."

Xie Luoyao looked at Xie Tinglan's retreating back, and fell to the ground.

Lost.

Even if she did it all over again, she still lost.

==
Xie Tinglan had a thrilling night.

When she cooperated with Fu Pingye, there was an agreement.

She didn't want anything else, as long as he gave the Wei family a Danshu iron coupon, and all the property of the Gu family.

The former is the ancestral home she wants to protect, and the latter is the wealth she has worked hard over the past few years.

Lying down on the soft mattress, before going to bed, Xie Tinglan had already made plans to travel around the world after becoming a widow.

Find a husband's family for Yuxiu.

If you meet the right one, you have to raise a male pet.

But Xie Tinglan never thought of it...
