Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

At night, the moon is high in the sky and the breeze is blowing.

This is a small courtyard behind Kunning Hall. A patch of medicinal herbs is planted on the open space in the courtyard. Under the eaves not far away, there is a winnowing basket for drying medicinal herbs.

After she became the queen, she came here to plant flowers and grass to pass the boring life when she had nothing to do.

Su Manman stood in the yard, looking at everything in front of her, in a trance.

Is this a dream?

Or has she returned to her past life?

As I was thinking about it, I heard a commotion coming from the front hall.

In the flickering candlelight on the window, shadows of people gathered.

She frowned and reached out to push the door, then a huge force hit her and she was sucked into the hall.

Inside the room, a group of maids were punching and kicking a woman in gorgeous clothes lying on the ground. The empress dowager sat high up on the Eight Immortals Chair nearby, looking at her with contempt.

She stumbled and almost fell.

Looking down, I saw a palace maid lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in her back. Bright red blood flowed down the dagger and stained her entire back.

The face under the messy hair is so familiar.

"Taohong." Su Manman screamed and tears suddenly burst out.

She reached out to help her, but her hand missed. Blood dripped onto the back of her hand, and she looked up.

A female corpse was hanging on the beam of the house. Her body was like a hedgehog and was riddled with arrows.

She lowered her eyelids, stared at her intently, and opened her mouth with difficulty, as if calling out, "Girl."

The sound is too small, too quiet.

She couldn't hear it, but she knew she was calling her.

Su Manman's heart seemed to be pierced by those arrows.

"Qingluan, Qingluan, Qingluan."

She wanted to save her, so she reached out to grab the hem of her skirt, jumped up, and tried to lift her up, but unfortunately, every attempt to save her was in vain.

"Queen, you still don't plead guilty?" The Queen Mother, who was in a high position, spoke slowly.

Su Manman turned around angrily and wanted to ask her why she did that.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's eyes were not looking at her at all, but were fixed on the center of the hall.

The maids dispersed and Su Manman saw a woman lying on the ground.

She was wearing a white undergarment stained with blood, with her hair loose. She raised her head when she heard the question.

Su Manman widened her eyes and was speechless.

The woman's face was covered with bloody wounds, with bright red blood flowing down her face. Her eyes were red. "Empress Dowager, why do you treat me like this?"

Her voice was hoarse, as if her throat had been rubbed by sand, and it was extremely unpleasant.

But she still heard that this person was... her.

how come?

While her thoughts were in extreme confusion, a suction force enveloped her entire body, and the next moment, her wandering soul attached itself to the woman's body.

It hurt, her whole body was in pain, so much so that every breath she took took all her strength.

She supported herself on her elbows, raised her upper body with difficulty, and looked up.

Under the candlelight, a scornful smile graced the Queen Mother's cold and elegant face. "It was you who killed Huan'er. As her aunt, I will avenge her."

"I don't have any."

Being wronged, she refused to defend herself, "I have always been content to stay in a corner, carefully caring for the Emperor and Princess Jin's three children. What have I done wrong?"

"You also know that Huan'er is Princess Jin."

Her words seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the Queen Mother even more angry. "She is the Princess of Jin, why are you the Queen?"

She lowered her head, her eyes grim, and sneered, "Su Manman, your existence is wrong."

"If it weren't for you, if the Emperor hadn't looked upon you with such high regard, how could Huan'er have been so depressed and died so young?"

She did nothing wrong, but Bai Huanyi's death was blamed on her.

It’s true, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext!

Su Manman was disheartened and said, "I want to see the emperor."

"Humph"

She was responded with a cold sneer.

Empress Dowager Bai slowly stood up. The flickering light and shadow cast on her face, obscuring her usual kind eyes. "My son has ascended the throne. You are no longer useful. It is time for you to disappear."

"Empress Dowager, I don't understand what you mean." Blood flowed from the wound on her face. She looked like a ghost from hell, with a hideous and ugly face.

"The emperor won't see you." The empress dowager walked out.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor will not allow you to harm me like this." Su Manman didn't believe it and shouted hysterically.

"You think he is sincere to you."

Outside the house, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the world.

"Dangdang!"

The door was locked roughly.

The bright moon in her eyes also disappeared.

A raging fire broke out outside the house, thick smoke suddenly rose, and she lay powerless on the cold floor.

I felt the blood slowly flowing out of my body and my life disappearing bit by bit.

A raging fire erupted, and I heard the eunuchs shouting, "There's a fire in the backyard of Kunning Palace! There's a fire!"

"The Queen is dead."

The mournful music was deafening...

Su Manman opened her eyes in surprise. The room was bright and outside, magpies were chirping on the big locust tree.

She was in a daze for a while before she sat up, holding her forehead and saying, "My head hurts."

Taohong heard the noise in the house and ran in. Seeing her grim expression, she asked, "Girl, how are you?"

Su Manman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up, hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

"pink!"

In the dream, she was lying on the ground with a sword stuck in her back, covered in blood.

"Qingluan, come quickly." Taohong noticed that something was wrong with the girl and shouted anxiously.

"Girl!" Qingluan ran into the house hurriedly.

Su Manman reached out and hugged her in her arms. The hand on her lower back did not forget to touch her back and asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"

In the dream, her back was full of arrows and she was bleeding a lot.

"Miss, I'm not in pain. My back is not injured." Qingluan and Taohong looked at each other, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I..." Tears started flowing before he could even open his mouth.

Those memories seemed like a nightmare.

But that dream was too real.

Perhaps, that was her previous life.

After being reborn, she couldn't remember how she died in her previous life.

It turns out that those memories are too painful.

She was so hurt that after being reborn, she would rather forget those heartbreaking things.

Perhaps it was because she had hypnotized Yan Baize yesterday, which consumed too much energy and made him too sleepy. When he was in a trance, those suppressed memories surged up.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

The girl seldom cries, but this morning she started crying as soon as she woke up.

This matter is really too big.

"It must be that His Royal Highness Prince Qi who bullied me." Taohong said angrily, "Don't worry, my lady. I will fight to the death to seek justice for you."

"Qingluan too."

The two maids swore solemnly.

Su Manman shed more tears.

In their previous lives, they were devoted to protecting their master, which is why they died so miserably.

"I had a nightmare."

"Girl, don't be afraid!" Taohong stood up and chanted a spell: "The night dream is ominous. The painting is on the west wall. When the sun comes out, it will bring good luck to me."

As she recited, she gestured with her hands, drawing circles on the west wall, and recited it seven times in a row.

"Don't worry, girl. It's okay." She coaxed her like a child.

It’s great to have them around.

Su Manman stood up, sat down in front of the dressing table, and instructed: "Taohong, go to Wangyue Tower at noon and prepare two tables of delicious dishes. There must be braised pork elbows. Let's have a good meal."

"it is good."

When Taohong heard that there was something delicious to eat, she immediately smiled happily.

After helping her wash and have breakfast, Taohong hurried out.

Su Manman sat at the table by the window, opened a medical book, and wanted to read for a while.

Unexpectedly, last night's dream kept appearing in her mind, and she was uneasy for a while.

He closed the book with a snap and asked, "Qingluan, what's going on in Prince Jin's Mansion recently?"
