Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Ning Yunxiao was confused, "Who told you that?"

Just one question seemed to hit Ye Jiayun's weak spot, making her lose confidence instantly, "Little... Little Prince Ping."

"stupid."

Ning Yunxiao laughed angrily, and commented silently with just one word, not wanting to say even a word of unnecessary advice. He waved his hand and gave orders.

"Send him back to the Ye Mansion. Wait until the civil unrest in the palace is quelled, and then see how His Majesty will deal with him."

"Yes." The guard responded and took Ye Jiayun away.

Jiang Lige glanced at Ning Yunxiao's face, which was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out, but laughed happily and teased.

"I have finally seen your Highness's romantic debts."

Ning Yunxiao's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito. He said angrily, "You know that you are the only one in my heart, so why do you always say these things to anger me?"

Jiang Lige stuck out his tongue and said, "Stop talking, stop talking. Yun Xiao will get mad and ignore us again."

Ning Yunxiao glanced at Jiang Lige and said, "Let's go and see what's going on at Shoukang Palace."

"it is good."

When the two arrived at Shoukang Palace, the fire had been brought under control, and the arsonist had been apprehended thanks to Ning Yunxiao's timely reminder.

Like Ye Jiayun, the arsonist of Shoukang Palace was unexpected, but also seemed reasonable.

Princess Jingyu.

Ever since Princess Jingyu's only daughter Xie Xuefu was exiled because of Prince Zhao's Mansion, Princess Jingyu has been trying to find ways to rescue her. However, Emperor Shengwu hated the entire Prince Zhao Mansion, and the people in charge of this matter were all Emperor Shengwu's confidants, so they naturally would not give Princess Jingyu any opportunity.

Princess Jingyu, who was at her wit's end, took out all her anger on her husband, Lord Xie, accusing him of incompetence every day, saying that otherwise they would not be in such a passive situation now.

Thinking back, Prince Consort Xie was a man with a very bright future. If he hadn't married the princess, his official career would not have ended here.

After complaining day after day, Prince Consort Xie's patience finally ran out. In a rage, he moved out of the princess's mansion. He even moved his mistress into the mansion without any hesitation, not bothering to hide her anymore.

Princess Jingyu was so embarrassed that she fell ill after making a few big fuss.

The illness came like a mountain falling on her, and Princess Jingyu was already not young anymore, so she had to take medicine all the time since then.

Princess Jingyu was living a miserable life, so she blamed all the faults on Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige.

After all, in the eyes of Princess Jingyu, if these two people had not been so cruel and powerful, her Xuefu would not have been exiled to the bitter cold land, Prince Consort Xie would not have run away in anger, and she would not have been so angry that she fell ill.

Therefore, in the past few years, when Princess Jingyu learned that Jiang Lige had died on the battlefield, it was a rare moment of joy.

Even though Princess Jingyu has been in poor health in recent years, she always shows up on time for every royal banquet. The reason is simple: she just wants to see Ning Yunxiao's lonely figure among the crowd.

Look, what if he rules the world?

He never got what he wanted most in his life.

He could only watch the hustle and bustle of the world day after day, and describe the smile of the person in his memory over and over again in his memories, falling into it and being heartbroken.

For people, the most painful thing is to feel powerless.

Every time Princess Jingyu saw how helpless she was, she would feel endless joy in her heart.

She can't bear the heart-wrenching pain alone. Wouldn't it be better if everyone suffered?

What Princess Jingyu didn't expect was that after three years, Jiang Lige came back in such a grand manner.

Jiang Lige came back alive?

How can Jiang Lige be alive!

Separation between them forever was her cruelest curse for Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige.

So Jiang Lige should have died on the battlefield and become a scar in Ning Yunxiao's heart that would never heal, hurting him whenever touched, making him feel so miserable that he would rather die than live.

Therefore, when King Xiaoping found Princess Jingyu, Princess Jingyu agreed without any hesitation.

Her health is not very good now. Instead of lying in bed and regretting it every day, she might as well drag everyone into hell together.

She had nothing to lose anyway.

When Jiang Lige heard this, he burst out laughing angrily.

Then, she looked at Princess Jingyu, who was being forced to the ground by the guards and kneeling unwillingly, and said sarcastically.

"Before, I thought Princess Jingyu had had it too easy in her life, which was why she never reflected on herself and always blamed others for her mistakes. Now I know it's not that you've had it too easy, but that you're a coward and don't have the courage to admit your mistakes."

Princess Jingyu stiffened her neck and cursed, "You're talking nonsense!"

Jiang Lige smiled, his voice was not loud, but every word he said was piercing.

"Xie Xuefu was exiled to a bitterly cold land, and you blamed others for their overwhelming power and their unwillingness to let her live. Yet you never dared to admit that it was you who sent her down this path. It was you who placed your hopes on Prince Zhao's second son, believing that immense power would be within your grasp. That's why you gambled and married Xie Xuefu off to Prince Zhao's mansion. It was you who sacrificed her for power.

Prince Consort Xie was willing to bear the infamy of breaking with you, not because the royal family restricted his career, but because you shifted your own powerlessness onto him, bullying him day after day. It was you, in order to save your own dignity, who forced him to leave.

It's your greed, desire, and dishonesty that push away those around you who don't truly care about you. When you realize you have no one left to be close to, you create nonexistent enemies amidst endless regret, as if only this will prove that you haven't lost the game of life on your own terms. Day after day of this resentment, you've suffocated yourself and ruined your health. Who can you blame?

Even now, you still blame all your mistakes on others, but Princess Jingyu, everything you have now is your own fault, you can't blame others."

Princess Jingyu, whose past was exposed by Jiang Lige, instantly became extremely ugly. She glared at Jiang Lige fiercely with uncontrolled emotions and argued loudly and palely.

"You're talking nonsense! It's you! It's clearly you!"

You can’t wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Jiang Lige understood this very well and was too lazy to argue with her. He shook his head and was about to tell Ning Yunxiao that although Princess Jingyu had made a serious mistake, her identity was sensitive and it was not their turn to deal with her.

Then the leader of the Xuantian Guards came over with a happy look on his face, and said with a bow, "Your Highness, Prince Xiaoping has been captured, and the rebels under his command have surrendered."

"I understand." Ning Yunxiao nodded, his emotions showing no significant fluctuation. He only responded softly, then waved to the guards, "Take Princess Jingyu away first. I believe His Majesty will make the decision."

"Yes."
