Reincarnation and Rebirth

Chapter 232 Vanished into Thin Air

It turns out that Su Youfu had boasted about the Beast Army to Lu Jiaojiao, which led Mingyue Kingdom to learn that Ziyun had the help of an immortal behind her, and they set their sights on Su Wan'er. The Battle of Huaizhou was also caused by Su Youfu leaking Ziyun's military plans.

Now that witnesses and witnesses have gathered, the Su family has been executed along with their entire clan.

The Minister of War asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, is Qingwan, the princess, also a member of the Su family?"

Zi Xingchen was taken aback. He didn't want to let the Su family go, not only because they were arrogant and complacent, but also because seeing them reminded him of his dark history of being forced to flee the palace. However, this Qingwan clan girl was different; she could not be killed.

Xiao Yunting carefully spoke, “The Qingwan Clan has severed ties with the Su family, and there were witnesses to this back then. Moreover, the title of Qingwan Clan was personally bestowed by the Emperor, and she even established a nursing home. If we were to implicate them at this time, it would probably damage the Emperor’s reputation.”

"Yes, indeed. They were at odds from the beginning. Now that they've severed ties, there's no reason for them to be implicated."

After much deliberation, the emperor finally issued an edict. The Su family was found guilty of treason and their titles were stripped; they were to be executed at a later date. Although the collateral branches of the Su family were unaware of the crime, they could not escape punishment either; their descendants were barred from taking the imperial examinations for three generations and were banished from the capital, never to return. Su Qing'er was stripped of her title and confined to the palace. As for Lu Jiaojiao, she was to be executed for treason, but she was spared execution, dying the very next day.

As for the relatives of the Su family, they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran out of the capital that very night and slunk back to their hometown.

At this moment, Su Cuihua and Su Hehua no longer cared about their mother and brothers; saving their lives was the most important thing.

Unfortunately, when Su Hehua's husband's family saw the Su family fall from power, they were afraid of being implicated and fled overnight, leaving Su Hehua alone. Su Hehua ran to Su Cuihua, hoping they would take her in.

Su Cuihua was unwilling, and the two sisters started fighting. Because Su Hehua had always been bullied in her husband's family and had never liked to do housework, she was not very strong. Su Cuihua pushed her down, and by sheer coincidence, her head hit the corner of the table, and blood gushed out immediately.

Su Cuihua's family was terrified and tried to flee overnight, completely ignoring the unconscious Su Hehua behind them.

Su Wan'er, who had been keeping an eye on them, received the news and sent someone to the yamen to report it to the authorities.

Although the people who arrived arrived in time, Su Hehua still died from excessive blood loss. Su Cuihua was also caught up at Shilipo outside the city and brought back to the yamen.

Based on the testimonies of her neighbors, Su Cuihua was sentenced to five years in prison.

Zhang the butcher's mother took her two grandchildren and went straight back to her hometown.

After dealing with the Su family, Su Wan'er retreated into her spatial dimension. She murmured to herself, "See? I've avenged everyone who bullied you. Next up is Zi Xingchen. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

The once calm and still space was suddenly disturbed by the rustling of leaves and a gentle breeze that caressed Su Wan'er. Su Wan'er smiled.

Little White skipped over to its master's side. "Master, why do you go through all this trouble? Dealing with those people takes so much effort."

Su Wan'er reached out her hand in response to Qingfeng, "You don't understand. Falling from a height is more painful and despairing than being beaten to death with a stick. It's past midnight, let's go see my good sister."

Su Qing'er was imprisoned in a cell, surrounded by the stench of decay and mold, but she seemed oblivious to it. She huddled in a corner, muttering repeatedly, "I am the Empress, I am the Empress! You cannot treat me like this, you cannot..."

Su Wan'er was stunned. Was he... insane?

The two jailers spat and said, "Pah! She's in this state, and she still calls herself Empress? Has she gone mad?"

"Alright, alright, as long as she doesn't make a fuss, let her be."

"What bad luck, having to trouble us to do this so late at night."

"Let's go, let's go have a drink."

Su Wan'er glanced at the whips in their hands and shook her head silently.

Su Wan'er only appeared in her cell after the jailer went outside to drink. Fortunately, because Su Qing'er was too noisy when she was first locked up, the jailer locked her in the innermost cell; otherwise, she would have been easily discovered by the people next to her.

Su Qing'er's eyes widened in disbelief, then filled with madness, "Hahaha, Su Wan'er, you really are the same as in your past life, possessing a magical treasure! Hand it over, hand it over..."

Oh no, this is... rebirth?

Upon receiving a look from its master, Xiao Bai quickly ran out in a puff of smoke, instantly turning the already quiet prison into a deathly silence.

However, Su Qing'er was not frightened at all, but excited instead. "Su Wan'er, you died in my hands in the past life. In this life, I will definitely be the empress again. I will go and tell the emperor that you have a magical artifact that can make people live forever, as well as countless gold, silver and grain."

"Su Qing'er, you've been reborn?"

Su Qing'er seemed to have truly gone mad, laughing loudly, "That's right, so I know your fate, Su Wan'er, you're about to die."

"Really? You don't think you're the only one who can be reborn, do you?"

Su Qing'er's laughter stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief. "You were reborn too?"

Su Wan'er looked at her with a half-smile.

"No, it's impossible, it's impossible... I need to see the Emperor, I need to see the Emperor, I have important matters to report to the Emperor."

Su Wan'er shook her head. "Su Qing'er, do you think you'll still have a chance?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing'er instinctively shrank back. "You, what do you want to do? You can't kill me. The Emperor hasn't even issued an edict to kill me."

"Why would I kill you? Haven't you always wanted my treasure? How about I take you to see it?"

"You're really willing to give it to me?" Su Qing'er asked with a hint of surprise.

“You are my sister after all, the only one left in the Su family, so naturally I don’t want to see you die.”

Su Qing'er nodded hurriedly, "Okay, give it to me quickly."

"No, that's a place. I'll take you there."

The next second, Su Qing'er felt a wave of dizziness and darkness. When she opened her eyes again, the scenery around her left her speechless. "This is where the immortals live?"

"Su Wan'er, you're lying to me. It's so cold here, how could it be a place where immortals live?"

Su Wan'er walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and pointed to the space outside. The land was fertile, covered with grains and fruits. In the distance, there were various precious trees on the mountains, and rare birds and animals flying among the trees. Su Qing'er was excited. "Am I dreaming?"

One second you're in jail, the next you're in this paradise. It's impossible not to see it as a fairyland.

She excitedly tried to open the door, but found that she couldn't open it no matter what she did.

"Su Wan'er, let me out. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. How did you do that? How could you suddenly appear in the prison and then here? Have you been cultivating? Let me out quickly, I want to cultivate too."

Su Wan'er laughed; she was still as foolish as she had been in her past life. Oh, no, the Su Wan'er of her past life was even more foolish.

Suddenly, the temperature inside the room dropped a few degrees, and Su Qing'er shivered from the cold.

Why is it so cold here?

Su Wan'er opened the door, letting in the fresh air. Su Qing'er rushed out and felt that the outside world was warm as spring. The sunlight felt so comfortable on her body, and even her injuries seemed to have lessened considerably.

"Haha, I can cultivate myself into an immortal now."

Su Wan'er smiled and said, "Su Qing'er, did you ever regret anything in your past life?"

Su Qing'er seemed to have gone mad, saying, "Regret? Why should I regret it? You don't know, do you? The family you cherished in your past life was actually killed by me long ago. You think your mother didn't like you? Hahaha, that's because I told her that Grandma didn't like her. If she dared to protect you, you would be beaten even worse."

Su Wan'er's fingers cracked as she pinched the ground.

How could she be so vicious?

"Now that you have this space, don't you want to go back and find Zi Xingchen?"

"Purple Star? I'll find it, of course I'll find it," Su Qing'er said, acting strangely again. "Guess how I was reborn?"

Su Wan'er waited quietly for her to continue.

"It's all because of you. You died, and without the Royal-grade Pill, Zi Xingchen's health deteriorated. He actually blamed me, saying that I killed you and prevented him from getting the Royal-grade Pill. He locked me in the Cold Palace until the Mingyue Kingdom invaded. I wasn't released until then. In the end, I was humiliated to death by the people of the Mingyue Kingdom."

Tsk tsk tsk, that's a truly gruesome way to die.

"Su Wan'er, you've come here for revenge too, haven't you? I'll join you in killing Zi Xingchen, okay?"

Su Wan'er's smile vanished. "You don't actually think you still have a chance to get out, do you? You only know that I was reborn, but you don't know that I'm also a transmigrator."

"What do you mean?"

"The Su Wan'er you killed in your past life is waiting for you in that room."

After saying that, Su Qing'er waved her hand and returned to the room. But this time, no matter how much she banged on the door, she couldn't get out.

"You can play however you want, I'm going to take care of the next one." A gentle breeze swept by and headed towards the room.

The next day, news of the Imperial Noble Consort's disappearance reached Zi Xingchen's ears. At that time, he was having a meal with the pregnant Consort Hui. He frowned slightly and said, "You mean, she just disappeared so mysteriously?"

"Back to the Emperor, yes."

"Has anyone gone to visit them in between?"

"not at all."

Zi Xingchen was furious. "It must be because you failed to supervise them properly. Men, drag these two away."

The two jailers begged for mercy repeatedly and were dragged away by the guards who came later.

Consort Hui said softly, "Your Majesty, the Su family is gone now, so who will go to save that person?"

Zi Xingchen frowned slightly. Vanished into thin air? That's impossible.

Could it be that Su Wan'er did it?
