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

"Luo'er, are you hiding something from me?"

Li Qingluo raised his head and looked at Duan Rongshi with a faint gaze.

"It's not that I'm deliberately hiding this from you."

"But some things can only remain secret..."

Unexpectedly, Duan Rongshi asked, "That girl from the Pan family is Pei Twelve Mother, right?"

Li Qingluo was shocked by what Duan Rongshi suddenly said.

"You...how do you know? Ah Shi, are you just guessing, or do you know something?"

Duan Rongshi turned and walked to the window, looked at the distant green mountains outside the window, and no longer concealed the matter.

"Luo'er, do you still remember when your soul got lost and returned to your previous life?"

"I also followed you on a trip to your past life, and even possessed the body of my own past life."

"Although I quickly prevented many things from happening, I still couldn't prevent the twelfth girl from dying in another way in the Pei family."

"Then Qing Yangzi, in his grief and madness, noticed something was wrong with me. He pressed me to ask if there really was a soul in this world."

"I answered him ambiguously. There are indeed many things in this world that are incomprehensible to people."

"He didn't even have the time to find out where I came from before he used Taoist methods to forcibly change Pei Twelve Niang's fate."

"He said that if spirits really existed in this world, he would be willing to exchange for forty years of his life for the rebirth of the girl from the Pei family."

Li Qingluo anxiously asked, "What happened next? Has anything changed since the previous life? Did Twelve Lady also possess Pan Li?"

Duan Rongshi shook his head.

"Nothing happened."

"The Miss Pan in the previous life did not die in the palace banquet, and her temperament is very different from the Miss Pan in this life."

Li Qingluo: "So it's because the two girls died at almost the same time, and Pan Li's personality is different now than in her previous life, that you guessed the truth?"

Duan Rongshi pinched Li Qingluo's soft face and said, "I clearly remember that the girl from the Pan family used to be at odds with both you and Nanping, but ever since the incident in the Pei family dungeon, you and her have become very close."

"You are definitely not someone who can confide in anyone, so I have doubts about the identity of this Miss Pan."

"After experiencing all those bizarre things, you were also reborn. Perhaps... the same is true for the Twelfth Lady of the Pei Family."

When mentioning the past, Li Qingluo felt a pang in his heart.

She held Duan Rongshi's hand tightly.

He also understood that Qingyangzi's obsession with Shi Er Niang might not be as simple as he thought.

"Ashi, do you think it's possible that Qingyangzi from the previous life caused Twelve Lady Fengshi to be reborn in this life?"

However, there is no answer to this question.

However, although Li Qingluo could not tell Qingyangzi the truth, Duan Rongshi was able to give him some advice.

At least, they still care about Qingyangzi and want him to live well.

Although no one knew what Duan Rongshi had said to Qing Yangzi, he seemed much clearer than before after that.

Li Qingluo could only say goodbye to her grandmother again, and repeatedly told her to take care of herself, and then she had no choice but to follow Duan Rongshi back to the palace.

It was not until a few years later that Qingyangzi died suddenly in his dream.

At that time, he was only thirty years old.

Upon hearing the tragic news, Immortal Yunhe rushed back to Qingsong Temple to preside over the matter. Upon seeing Qingyangzi's remains, he lamented, "When your Majesty summoned me back to Jinling, you begged me to help you."

"You don't ask to return to any particular place, nor do you want to find anyone to return to. You simply want to use your own Taoism and lifespan to exchange for a good afterlife for the twelfth lady of the Pei family."

"In my next life, I hope I can find a man who is devoted to her and will never let her down."

"I've tried every possible way to refuse you."

"Just kneel down in the rain and beg me with all your might. Even if you knock your forehead until it's bruised, beg me to be your master!"

"But I calculated back then that the Twelfth Lady already had other merits, and someone had prayed for her blessings in past and present lives."

"You still don't care, saying that only if you devote yourself to her again can you have no regrets."

"Your Dao heart is broken."

"I have to mend it for you."

"So, back then I really couldn't bear it...but I helped you in the end."

"Now you really haven't lived past thirty!"

"Qingyangzi, did I help you or hurt you back then?"

For some unknown reason, this news eventually reached the ears of the Shangshu's wife, Mrs. Pan.

I heard that she had a serious illness.

Then, I visited Qingsong Temple, which I hadn't visited for more than ten years.

She stayed in Qingsong Temple for forty days.

Farewell to the world for forty days.

Recite Taoist scriptures for forty days.

It wasn't until Minister Shen, who was truly concerned about her, came with his two children to pick her up that he finally brought her back to the mortal world...

Later, Li Qingluo was worried about Pan Li, so she went to Shen's house to visit her.

Pan Li said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"I will live a long, long time."

"For him, and for myself."

And Pan Li did live a long, long life, longer than anyone else.

He passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of ninety-seven.

In the third year of Longshi, Queen Li gave birth to a son.

Emperor Long Shi Huang issued a general amnesty.

The people were again given less tax and exempted from taxes.

He also vigorously developed water conservancy projects and promoted agriculture and sericulture.

The Queen personally took charge of rectifying the finances and reforming the tax system.

At the same time, Emperor Long Shi Huang established many official schools and vigorously promoted the imperial examination system. He appointed people based on their merits and encouraged children from poor families to study or learn martial arts and join the army, actively striving to become pillars of the country.

The Queen, on the other hand, adopted a conciliatory policy towards foreign countries, including trade and proposals for enthronement. As a result, many countries in the Western Regions began to have close and friendly exchanges with the Central Plains.

As for border defense, Emperor Long Shi Huang not only established important border towns, but also reformed the military system.

Due to the constant troubles of the emperor and empress, the national treasury, which was filled with great difficulty every year, would become empty before the middle of the year.

Although the queen would always bring in mountains of gold and silver to fill the national treasury, the entire country's finances were in deficit in the past few years.

Moreover, because the emperor and empress were too busy, whenever the ministers mentioned filling the harem, the Emperor Longshi would say, "Dai Viet has not yet prospered. How can I have the leisure and energy to think about selecting concubines?"

"You guys are just too idle, so you come to me and do things that harm the country and waste the people's money!"

Emperor Long Shi Huang immediately assigned the minister who had advised him on this matter a lot of government affairs.

If someone displeased him, Emperor Long Shi would find an opportunity to demote him far away, and he would never be able to return to the imperial city.

Later, many ministers jointly wrote a letter to the Emperor, asking him to choose a woman of his choice from the families of officials of the third rank or above to enter the palace as a concubine.

In this way, the Queen can relieve the pressure of the harem, and the Emperor can have children and continue the royal bloodline. From then on, the bloodline of Emperor Long Shi will continue forever.

Emperor Long Shi Huang was furious.

"The Queen and I have a deep and lasting love. She bore me children, lived frugally, assisted the inner court, and managed the finances of the country. She has given everything for me, for the country, and for all of Dai Viet."

"And you, these incompetent ministers, actually stabbed the Queen to such an extent!"

"Since ancient times, many emperors have ruined their country due to bloodless fighting in the harem due to disputes between concubines, disputes between relatives, and disputes over heirs."

"Da Chu and Daliang are both lessons from the past."

"In my opinion, having more offspring may not necessarily be a good thing!"

"I will never repeat the same mistakes because of your coercion. Anyone who wants to use my harem to disrupt the country will be killed by me!"
