The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Duan Rongshi did not deny it.

He asked, "Did my sister suddenly join the fight for the throne, or had she been planning this for years?"

When mentioning this secret, a hint of hatred flashed in Duan Xiyue's eyes.

"If I say... that I suddenly had this idea, would you believe me, Imperial Sister?"

Duan Rongshi nodded: "I believe it."

Xiyue's eyes turned red instantly.

She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes. "If it weren't for your mother's sincere care for me when I was young, I, Xiyue, would not have even had the little happiness I have in this life."

"Back then, my mother was forced to death by them. I was able to survive by being humble and humiliating myself, and that's how I managed to stay alive at the hands of that bitch."

"Father is such a selfish and hypocritical villain. Fifth brother, don't you know this all these years?"

"It's obvious that he wanted the power of the Gao family, so my biological mother, who didn't come from a prominent family, was killed by them."

"This way, my mother can give up her position as Crown Prince's wife, and he can marry the daughter of the Gao family, thus gaining a greater grasp on the throne!"

"But isn't my mother pitiful?"

"Back then, my royal grandfather doted on the Grand Noble Consort and even considered changing the crown prince. The Grand Noble Consort even framed my father, who was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace for an entire year to reflect on his actions, unable to leave."

"That year, the East Palace couldn't even get a decent charcoal fire."

"Sometimes I could only eat rotten vegetable leaves, and I wouldn't see any meat for three to five days."

"If my mother and I hadn't accompanied my father through those difficult times, he would have died of the plague long ago!"

"But he fanned the flames and killed my mother... just like he killed Concubine Yue."

"So, how could I not hate him in my heart all these years?"

"I finally married the prince consort I loved with the help of Concubine Yue. Because I didn't marry that dandy bastard from the Gao family, the Gao family hates me."

"So later, because of her instigation and framing, our family angered the Emperor and was exiled to the northwest for nearly ten years!"

"How can I not hate them both?"

"When I came back, even though I saw everything going on, the Gao family was targeting my son-in-law everywhere, and my father turned a blind eye to it."

"How can I not hate it?"

"Fifth brother. After Duan Rongyin's death, you already held great power. My sister is very happy that you have obtained that position."

"Because my sister knows that if you ascend the throne, you will not treat me unfairly. Then my sister will be able to hold her head high and live a few days of truly happy life."

"But you left suddenly, you disappeared suddenly."

"I was completely confused. I knew that no matter who came to power, I wouldn't be able to get what I wanted!"

"I, Duan Xiyue, naturally don't want them to have an easy time, so I found that witch doctor from the Western Regions and started thinking, why can't I rule the world?"

"I, Duan Xiyue, no longer need to rely on anyone or look to anyone. I will avenge my own vengeance myself!"

"It just so happens that our cowardly father still thinks he can control the imperial power and wants to use me to check and balance the third brother."

"So, I hold his life in my hands, and he thinks he's still using my ambition."

"As for the Gao family, I agree with the third brother on this point. The entire Gao family was eradicated. I tortured Gao for three full months before I killed her with a single blow at my mother's grave."

"It's a pity that my father didn't die at my hands, otherwise the Third Brother and I would have both suffered..."

After hearing this, Duan Rongshi said, "He really died in your hands."

"Although the Western sandalwood your witch doctor used on him prolonged his life, as soon as the incense was stopped and removed, he died in less than half an hour."

"Royal sister, you avenge yourself."

Duan Xiyue finally laughed heartily after hearing this.

"it is good!"

"Mother...I have never let you down."

"It's just a pity for my son's husband. He has always been loyal to me and has loved me sincerely. And I couldn't save any of the three children he and I had..."

"What kind of wife am I, what kind of mother am I?"

"I killed them..."

Xiyue held her face and burst into tears.

Until a small hand gently pulled Xiyue's fingers.

"aunt?"

"Auntie, don't cry. Wipe your tears—"

The tender white hands wiped away the tears from Xiyue's face.

When Xiyue saw Fangfang being so lively and cute, she couldn't help but hug her.

"I regret it—"

"I really regret it - I shouldn't have sent my Nanping to the Western Regions -"

"I shouldn't have rushed into the palace without settling my husband and two children."

"This is all my fault."

"I thought I could win."

"I thought if I won I could reunite our family—"

"It was my arrogance that harmed my family who loved me the most..."

Li Qingluo couldn't bear to see the eldest princess so sad.

She told her the truth: "Nanping is not dead."

Xiyue: "You don't have to lie to me."

"Those Westerners locked her up in a sheepfold. How could she still be alive?"

"After I kill Duan Rongjue, I'll go find them down there... We can finally be reunited as a family down there."

Li Qingluo handed Duan Xiyue a handkerchief: "It's true, Princess."

"I personally rescued Nanping."

"It's just that she forgot some things. So, now she's still with my grandmother and grandfather at the border, and my grandfather is personally treating her."

Duan Xiyue was so shocked that tears stopped in her eyes.

"You, are you telling the truth?"

"Lee, no, sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?"

"Did you really save my Nanping?"

"My Nanping, is she not dead?"

"She's still alive. Did she come back alive from the Western Regions?"

"Sister-in-law, this is true. You are not lying to me, right?"

"If it's true, how should I thank you for your kindness?"

Duan Xiyue was nervous and excited, and for a moment she didn't even know whether to cry or laugh.

She became flustered, her speech incoherent and her expression changing rapidly.

I was so confused and happy that I didn't know what to do.

Li Qingluo comforted her: "I saved Nanping because of my bond with her."

"You don't have to thank me, sister."

"If the imperial sister has finished her business in the imperial city and wants to go see her, we can also arrange for you to go to the border to reunite with her."

"How we live our lives from now on is up to you, my sister."

Duan Xiyue kept nodding and wiping the tears from her face.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine."

She hugged Fangfang tightly in her arms.

"Fangfang, you are such a lucky star!"

"Auntie loves you so much."

"You have such a good father and mother. Auntie is so grateful to them!"

Duan Xiyue was secretly sent to the Sky Prison.

Duan Rongjue was scared to death when he saw her.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"I am the former crown prince after all, you can't touch me—"

Duan Xiyue, holding a long sword and a sneer on his face, transformed into Shura and walked into the cell...

When she came out covered in blood, the people arranged by Duan Rongshi were already waiting to pick her up.

She knelt down and kowtowed several times in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace.

"The guilty woman Duan Xiyue thanks His Majesty and the Queen for her great grace."

"Having you as the Emperor and Empress is a blessing to all people. I, Duan Xiyue, have no regrets in this life."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, facing the direction of the rising sun, and rode out of the imperial city at full speed, leaving Jinling, the vortex of power and trouble.

From then on we went our separate ways and never saw each other again.

When Li Qingluo learned that the eldest princess had left Jinling, he instructed the escorts to protect her safety.

It was not until the beginning of spring that we received the news that Duan Xiyue had arrived in Mantuo City.

It is said that after Duan Xiyue and Nanping reunited, Nanping actually recognized that the person in front of her was her mother.

But I still can’t remember many past events.

Duan Xiyue cried and hugged her, calling her darling.

"It's okay if I can't remember, it's okay if I can't remember..."

"From now on, Mother will stay with you and accompany you, and we will live a good life..."

Duan Xiyue settled down in Mantuo City.

However, Madam Pei and Luo Fan planned to go to Lanhai Country to take a look.

I heard that the customs and people there are very different from those in the Central Plains, and Duan Rong passed the throne of King Lanhai to Fangfang as soon as he was born.

Today, the eldest princess of Dai Viet, Duan Qingwu, is only two years old, but she is already a queen.

In the Kingdom of Lanhai, having a female monarch is a very normal thing.

This made Mrs. Pei even more curious, so as soon as she had some free time, she insisted on going there.

Duan Xiyue hit it off immediately and took Nanping with her.

I heard that they are living happily in Lanhai Country.

Nanping even gradually regained his former intelligence.

Mrs. Pei also planned to settle down in Lanhai Country.

Li Qingluo wrote several letters to urge him to do so.

She missed her grandmother, so she wanted her grandmother to return to Jinling to live out her days.

However, before they could set off, the Lanhai Kingdom was attacked by a small country in the Western Regions.

Lan Hai has already become famous all over the world because of Duan Rongshi, the King of Lan Hai.

Who in the world doesn't know that there is a Lanhai Kingdom in this world?

Therefore, there are many small countries in the Western Regions who want to test the waters and even take the opportunity to annex Lanhai.

Kelanhai is not a vegetarian either.

With the assistance of Mrs. Pei, they fought back.

However, they did not expect that the small country in the Western Regions could be so bold because it was instigated and assisted by the former subordinates of the Luandi clan.

Therefore, this battle is not so easy to fight, nor so easy to win.

During one encirclement and suppression operation, Mrs. Pei was trapped on the battlefield and could not escape.

At this moment, what Mrs. Pei did not expect was that Li Chaojing, who had followed her to Lanhai, would suddenly rush into the battlefield on horseback and lead his troops.

He seemed to have woken up without knowing when.

While rescuing Madam Pei from the battlefield, a general of the Luandi clan held the mother and son tightly.

In order to help Madam Pei escape, Li Chaojing gave the horse to Madam Pei.

"Mother, hurry up--"

He slapped his horse's butt hard and sent Madam Pei out of the encirclement.

In order to delay the pursuers, he was pierced to death by swords and spears.

When Mrs. Pei saw this scene, she cried out in grief: "Jing'er——"
