After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Chapter 300 She died too?

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

On this rare sunny day, people brought out their quilts and mattresses to air them out, while women carried baskets to the market.

But the city gate was unusually lively.

Carriages lined the city gate, blocking it completely, but the guards could only turn a blind eye. The crowd was large, mostly people dressed in wealthy attire, but some ordinary citizens still joined in the fun.

However, they were soon driven away by the imperial guards around Emperor Jingyang.

"General Xiao, I am waiting for your victorious return."

Xiao Mu, clad in silver armor, wore a solemn expression and knelt with a groaning sound.

"I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Emperor Jingyang nodded in satisfaction and looked at the crowd gathered to the side. When he saw a woman standing in the center, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Is that Xiao Ran? Why did Minister Xiao bring her daughter along?"

Xiao Mu lowered his eyes and simply clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Your Majesty, my daughter is unruly, so I feel more at ease having her by my side."

Emperor Jingyang laughed heartily, his black beard moving with his lips.

"Minister Xiao truly loves his daughter, and fortunately, he has used that love on the right person."

Xiao Mu remained silent. Perhaps because of the midday sun, a thin layer of sweat could be seen beneath his armor.

He knew who the emperor was referring to.

They weren't far apart, so their conversation reached Xiao Ran's ears.

Despite having a chattering Nangong Ming by her side all the time.

"Xiao Ran, are you really leaving?"

"Xiao Ran, if you leave, no one will play with me anymore... Can you please not leave?"

"The border is so dangerous, I really don't understand what you're thinking..."

Nangong Ming launched into a long speech, making it impossible for her to hear what her father said next.

She suddenly felt a headache.

She ignored Nangong Ming and instead walked to the inconspicuous carriage to the side.

"Zi Jin."

Chen Zijin was somewhat surprised to see that Xiao Ran had actually left the place surrounded by a large group of people to come and find her.

She hurried forward, "Miss Xiao, are you... leaving?"

"Yes, the border war is urgent, Father can't delay any longer."

Chen Zijin nodded silently, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Okay, I know what you want to say... but this is about this."

Xiao Ran took out a jade pendant from his bosom. Chen Zijin had seen this jade pendant before, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It was the piece that Hanxiang left behind.

Xiao Ran gripped the jade pendant tightly: "I had someone investigate, and this pattern... is a hidden pattern from those small Western countries."

Because things in this life never follow the same trajectory as in the previous life, Xiao Ran recently sorted out the events that had happened in this life.

First, she saved Chen Zijin from certain death, but she also saw the man wearing a blue-faced, fanged mask who wanted to kill her with a single move.

Although it's unclear whether Chen Zijin experienced these things in her past life, this man is indeed a point of suspicion.

The second thing was the death of Hanxiang.

She didn't know what happened to Hanxiang in her previous life. But she was most likely alive, since Zeng Jitian's life hadn't been as complicated as it was in this life.

She later asked Xiaolan about it, and Xiaolan also said that she felt her sister was acting strangely. Although she didn't know who or what Hanxiang had been in contact with before she died, it was good that she left behind this jade pendant.

The last thing... and it was also something that surprised her—

He Wan was also reborn.

How much suffering she endured before her death in her previous life must have given her this chance to be reborn.

But what about He Wan?

Could it be that she died in her previous life as well?
