Long Live the Empress

Chapter 1: Quiet Rebirth

The once majestic palace was now under siege, with hundreds of thousands of black-armored soldiers ready to go. Yue Jinghao, wearing the gorgeous court dress of the queen, was pinned against the palace wall by two soldiers.

In order to quell the war, Imperial Concubine Yue Jinghong advised the emperor that her sister, as the queen of a country, should share the emperor's worries. Xianfei Yue Yuyan also knelt outside the palace and complained that the queen had added safflower to her pregnancy-preserving medicine.

Emperor Wei Zilin wrote an imperial edict on the spot: The guilty woman Yue Jinghao, as the queen of a country, was vicious and jealous. She murdered the late emperor and poisoned the royal heir for her own selfish reasons. Therefore, she was stripped of her title and executed immediately.

After the chief eunuch read out the imperial edict, all the court officials objected. Even the queen's biological father and half-brother asked the emperor to execute the vicious woman immediately.

Yue Jinghao was given a mute potion by Yue Jinghong an hour ago. After hearing the imperial edict, she just closed her eyes and shed two lines of tears.

"Your Highness, I... have brought this vicious woman here. You can... kill her or chop her up... It's up to you! Please withdraw your troops quickly!" Wei Zilin shouted at the top of his lungs.

In the distance, the crimson-purple figure in the carriage moved slightly, and then his bloodthirsty voice was heard: "In order to protect your throne, you are willing to use your wife as a shield. Wei Zilin, you really opened my eyes!"

Upon hearing these sarcastic words, Wei Zilin's face immediately turned red, but he felt guilty. "Your Highness, I will... kill this vicious woman with my own hands. Please withdraw your troops for the sake of my father!" After saying that, he drew out the long sword of the guard beside him. When the tip of the sword was three inches away from Yue Jinghao, his hand paused. He couldn't help but look at Yue Jinghao's extremely beautiful face. Thinking of everything she had done for him, his hands trembled a little... At this moment, a pair of delicate white hands covered his hands, and with a force, the tip of the sword pierced Yue Jinghao's heart...

Yue Jinghao opened her bloodshot eyes, staring at her husband and sister, and silently said: Even if I turn into a ghost, I will seek revenge on you...

It took a long time for Wei Zilin to come back to his senses after hearing Yue Jinghong's cry, "Nine Thousand Years Old, the poisonous woman has been killed by me personally... Please withdraw your troops immediately!"

The man in the carriage slowly closed his eyes. "How can a despicable person like you be worthy of being an emperor? Kill..."

The black-armored soldiers received the order and raised their weapons in unison to attack the palace. For a moment, the sound of killing rang out everywhere, and wailing was heard everywhere...

Wei Zilin was furious. Wasn't it enough that he had already killed Yue Jinghao? "Yan Liyuan, you are just a eunuch. You want to attack me? You are dreaming! I am the emperor of this Wei country..."

Wei Zilin's curses had long been drowned out by the shouts of hundreds of thousands of black-armored soldiers, followed by the heart-wrenching cries of his personal guards!

A ghost was floating in the sky, watching the fight below with an expressionless face. Yue Jinghao looked at the couple who were embracing each other and fleeing, her hands clenched into fists. She had spent a lot of time and effort every day to make Wei Zilin sit on the throne. He said that he only loved her in this life, but on the day of his ascension, he appointed his concubine's sister as the imperial concubine, under the pretext of worrying that she would be lonely in the deep palace... All the things in the past made her feel that she was living like a joke!

Suddenly, a purple figure appeared beside her body. It was Yue Jinghao's mortal enemy, Yan Liyuan, who was 9,000 years old. He was a stumbling block on Wei Zilin's road to becoming emperor. Before ascending the throne, in order to lure him out of the capital, Yue Jinghao didn't sleep for seven days before coming up with a perfect trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Yan Liyuan, who should have hated her, picked up her body and put it on the carriage. He gently tidied up her hair, but the words he said were icy and piercing: "Everyone, kill without mercy..."

"Hiss..." Yue Jinghao felt a slight pain in her neck. Wasn't her heart pierced by Wei Zilin? Why did her neck hurt? She slowly opened her eyes and saw the tattered gauze curtain embroidered with magnolia flowers.

Turning her head to look elsewhere, she saw a thin maid kneeling at the feet of the arrogant woman, begging and kowtow: "Mammy, please, please let me go out and find a doctor to see the young lady..."

Isn’t this... the maid Manju who grew up with her?

Soon after Wei Zilin ascended the throne, he gave Manju to a general as a concubine. A few days later, she heard that Manju died of a sudden heart attack. Although she was suspicious, she was deceived by Wei Zilin's sweet words. When she was given a mute drug, she learned from Yue Jinghong that the general had a habit of beating people, and Manju was tortured to death by him.

Yue Jinghao felt that the scene in front of her was extremely familiar... Wasn't this what happened when she was fourteen?

That night, Yue Yuyan came to call her and said Yue Tianhong had picked up a bird that could speak human language and asked her to go see it together. When they got to a sweet-scented osmanthus tree, a rope suddenly fell around her neck, strangling her tightly...

Is this a dream?

Yue Jinghao squeezed out a hoarse voice from her throat: "Agate..."

When Manjushri, who was crying and begging, heard the young lady calling her, she quickly got up and ran to her side, crying and laughing and said, "Young lady, you are awake! Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Yue Jinghao said nothing, but looked at Manjue's sallow face, tears streaming down her face unconsciously... How could she not even investigate the cause of Manjue's death? How could she be so stupid as to believe Wei Zilin's words!

Seeing Yue Jing crying, Manju wiped her tears helplessly: "Does it hurt anywhere? I'll go ask Madam Li to ask the doctor to check on Miss!"

Yue Jinghao tightly grasped Manju's hand and shook her head. Manju was about to say something else when she heard Li Ma'am snort, "Oh, since the eldest lady doesn't allow the doctor to be called, then I will report to Aunt Su, so that outsiders will not think that Aunt Su is treating the eldest lady harshly! Humph!"

Yue Jing said in a weak voice, "Please tell Aunt Su that I am fine now. Thank you Aunt Su for your concern!"

Nanny Li slammed the door and walked away with a "Puh" sound, but her words drifted far away, "A bitch's fate is to be a bitch. She looked like she was dying, but she's still alive..."

Manju was furious and wanted to argue with her, but suddenly heard Yue Jinghao cough a few times, so she quickly poured her a glass of water and fed her carefully. "Miss, this time it was the eldest young master and the third young lady who conspired to harm you, why are you still thanking Aunt Su? I have already said that they are not good people!"

Yue Jinghao raised the corners of her pale lips and shook her head without saying anything. Her heart was in turmoil. Was she...reborn? Reborn when she was fourteen? The scenes of her past life appeared before her eyes... It was not too late. In this life, she would make those who had hurt her restless!

Seeing that the young lady closed her eyes, Agate thought she was tired, so she stopped talking and tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

"Big sister, I heard that you woke up?" When Manju heard the sarcastic voice of the third lady Yue Yuyan coming from outside the door, she immediately stood up angrily and wanted to ask her why she was so cruel to the young lady. They are sisters!

"Let her in." Yue Jinghao said with her eyes closed. Yue Yuyan had bullied her a lot in her previous life. She almost took her life several times. She even slandered her for murdering the heir to the throne just before forcing her to abdicate. Now that she thought about it, Yue Yuyan was just Yue Jinghong's running dog. In this life, let them fight each other...
