------

In the spring of the fifth year of Xihe, sunlight shone through the window lattices into the Kunning Palace, and the mottled light and shadow intertwined to form a tranquil picture.

Xie Yaoqing slowly opened her heavy eyelids, as if she had used up all her strength to wake up from an endless sleep. She stared blankly at the gorgeous bed curtains above her head, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"The Queen is awake!" Zhiyu, who was watching nearby, was the first to notice the movement. He turned around and shouted in surprise.

Before the voice fell, several people hurried into the room.

One of them stepped forward quickly, gently helped Xie Yaoqing up, and let her lean carefully against the head of the bed.

Still feeling dizzy, Xie Yaoqing closed his eyes involuntarily and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, the scene in front of her gradually became clearer, and her eyes became clearer.

However, when Xie Yaoqing saw the familiar faces surrounding the bed, he felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

"This...is this true?" Xie Yaoqing murmured to himself, his face full of disbelief.

Standing in front of her were Zhiyu, Juexia, and Nanny Fang... These people who had lived with her day and night, and were already dead, now appeared before her alive, neatly arranged, without a single one missing.

However, how could this be possible? They had clearly already passed away - Zhiyu had drowned, Juexia had been caned to death, and the kind and gentle Nanny Fang...had a miserable end, none of them had a good end.

She herself should be dead.

In the severe winter of the tenth year of Xihe, she committed suicide with a wooden hairpin in the cold palace and set herself on fire, ending her life. Her heart was filled with endless resentment and resentment, and she died unwillingly.

Recalling the suffocation and pain before death, Xie Yaoqing frowned and his face turned pale.

"Empress, what's wrong with you? Call the imperial physician quickly." The palace maids around shouted in panic.

......

Half an hour later.

"The wound on your Majesty's forehead is not serious. It will heal after a few days of rest and recuperation. However, your Majesty has been too worried recently. You need to take good care of yourself and rest." Doctor Qi bent his body, lowered his head and spoke softly.

Xie Yaoqing raised her hand slightly and waved it, indicating that Doctor Qi could leave. Then, she asked everyone else to leave, leaving herself alone in the palace.

Nanny Fang and the other palace maids looked at Xie Yaoqing worriedly, but they did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to quietly leave the hall and stand outside the door waiting.

Xie Yaoqing sat quietly beside the bed, looking out the window. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes suddenly became extremely cold, with a cold light flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Reborn, she was actually reborn.

Since she was reborn, why not go back to the time when she and Xiao Chengxu had not yet married, and completely cut off this tragic and sinful fate from the root.

As the daughter of the Yongchang Marquisate and born into a prominent family, she grew up in the endless love and doting of her father and brothers.

The ancestors of the Hou Mansion established an ancestral family motto: The children of the Xie family, regardless of gender, do not seek wealth, fame, or fortune, but only seek to find a soulmate to spend the rest of their lives with.

Xie Yaoqing, who had been taught in this way since childhood, had always firmly believed that in the future she would marry a man of her dreams who was willing to spend her life with her, never leave her, and be together for the rest of her life.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. A sudden marriage decree from the late emperor shattered all of Xie Yaoqing's beautiful dreams.

She was betrothed to become the principal wife of the fifth prince Xiao Chengxu. Later, when Xiao Chengxu ascended the throne, she became the Empress of the Central Palace, holding the Phoenix Seal and ruling the country.

For other women, being the mother of an entire country might be an extremely noble and enviable honor; but for Xie Yaoqing, it was a heavy shackle that she could never break free of.

As the queen, Xie Yaoqing needed to be dignified, elegant, virtuous, gentle and quiet at all times... But she was notorious in her previous life. She was not only arrogant and domineering, but also jealous. She was also willful and willful... which caused the wrath of heaven and people. Many officials of the previous dynasty, concubines in the harem, and ordinary people jointly petitioned to abolish her position as queen, and even an imperial censor did not hesitate to die by hitting his head against the pillar.

As expected, she eventually lost her throne as queen and was banished to the cold palace.

In the cold palace, Xie Yaoqing learned that her mother's family was involved in a major corruption case. Her father and brother had been imprisoned in the Tianlao and would be executed soon.

She was so anxious that she wanted to find Xiao Chengxu to plead for the Marquis's family, but she couldn't even step out of the door of the cold palace, let alone meet Xiao Chengxu in person. In the end, she could only learn from the gossip of the guards guarding the cold palace that Xiao Chengxu was about to enthrone Concubine Qi as the new queen.

Thinking back on the second half of her life after marrying Xiao Chengxu in her previous life, Xie Yaoqing found it extremely ridiculous.

The vows of love and loyalty made in youth could not withstand the passage of time and fickle human hearts. Everything changed in just twelve years.

Recalling the time when they were newlyweds, she and Xiao Chengxu were deeply in love and respected each other, and they were an enviable couple in the capital.

The year after the wedding, the late emperor suddenly passed away, shocking the court and the public, and many princes began to compete fiercely for the supreme throne. Finally, after half a year of open and covert fighting, Xiao Chengxu successfully broke through the siege and ascended the throne, and she also ascended the throne.

In the third year of their marriage, a minister of the previous dynasty submitted a petition to the emperor, pleading that he should take in more concubines to enrich the harem and continue the royal bloodline. Xiao Chengxu was furious in the court, and after leaving the court, he held her hand tightly and vowed that he would never go against the oath he made on the night of his wedding - that he would only love her in this life and would never take in more concubines.

No new people were added to the palace in the following year, but the gears of fate continued to turn relentlessly.

In the fifth year, Xiao Chengxu told her with a sad face that he had to take concubines, simply because he needed the help of the complicated family forces behind those women to stabilize the government, and he repeatedly assured her that he would never change his mind because of this.

Since then, beauties have sprung up in the harem like mushrooms after rain, and the originally empty four concubines and nine concubines have gradually been filled...

In the seventh year, the youngest daughter of the Qi family, Xiao Chengxu's cousin, entered the palace. With her family background and outstanding appearance, she was canonized as a noble concubine and held a high position.

The next five years were like a nightmare to Xie Yaoqing, and she would rather bury it deep in her heart and never mention it again.

During those five years, she was tortured and gradually went insane. On the one hand, she kept telling herself that as a queen, she should be tolerant, virtuous and kind, and should not be jealous of other concubines; on the other hand, she could not help but feel hostile to those beauties in the harem, believing that they had taken away Xiao Chengxu.

Her resentment towards Xiao Chengxu grew day by day. She resented him for breaking the vow they made to be together for the rest of their lives, and resented him for asking the late emperor for an imperial decree to grant her marriage. If it hadn't been for that imperial decree, she could have stayed away from the royal family, never entered the palace, and never become the queen.
