Chapter 8 Jiang Ning's Rebirth

Jiang Ning couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.

She had already planned it all out. Once Fu Pei became seriously ill, she would find doctors and medicine to treat him, so that he would owe her a debt of gratitude. Moreover, she had personally helped him become the top scholar, which was incredibly fulfilling!

But why is it different now?

Could it be that Fu Pei has not yet arrived in the capital?

That's not right either; it's possible that his rebirth caused some changes.

Never mind, even if she doesn't live there now, she can just have someone keep an eye on things. Fu Pei will definitely go to the capital to take the exam again, and she'll find him sooner or later.

"Miss, Miss Sun has come to visit."

"I will not see you; I will only say that I am ill."

"Yes."

Jiang Ning looked disgusted. If she can't even handle such a small matter, what can she be expected of Sun Qian?

In their past life, Xie Zheng and Xu Zhaozhao were husband and wife, which made countless people envious!

Xie Zheng was so devoted that he never took a concubine. Until Jiang Ning died, Xie Zheng and Xu Zhaozhao were still deeply in love.

Why?

Whenever Jiang Ning thought about her tragic death in her previous life, she wished she could tear the culprit to pieces immediately!

Fortunately, Heaven has eyes and has given her a second chance. Now that she has been given such a great opportunity, she is determined to turn this capital city upside down!

She couldn't be an empress in her past life, but in this life, she's destined to be one!

Jiang Ning's eyes darkened slightly: "Someone, find someone to keep an eye on the Marquis of Anxin's residence in secret. As soon as that Xu Zhaozhao comes out, report to me immediately."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Ning's eyes were cold and ruthless: "Xu Zhaozhao, don't blame me for being heartless. Why didn't you just obediently break off the engagement? But you refused! Hmph, then I'll make you famous. I want to see if Xie Zheng will still be able to grow old with you!"

In her previous life, Jiang Ning married Prince An and used the power of her entire family to help him ascend the throne. But who would have thought that after Prince An secured his throne, he would target Jiang Ning first!

Jiang Ning was sentenced to death, and the entire Jiang family was executed, with blood flowing like a river.

Jiang Ning, now sixteen, naturally thinks about how to take revenge and how she must become empress no matter what.

In our past lives, we were just a tiny bit short of each other.

At the time, she was clearly Prince An's legal wife, but Prince An refused to bestow titles and honors upon the six palaces on the grounds that his father had just passed away.

Jiang Ning thought herself wise and sensible, so she advised the Jiang family not to be anxious. Who could have imagined that a few months later, instead of the coronation ceremony, she would be beheaded?

Jiang Ning thought she had received a tremendous opportunity and deserved to be made empress. So, the first thing she did after waking up was to change her husband!

An Wang?

Haha, he doesn't deserve it!

Of course, Prince An is currently only the second prince. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be granted the title of Prince An by the emperor in a few months, and then be given a mansion and a noblewoman to marry him.

Jiang Ning never wanted to repeat the same mistake in her life, so this time she set her sights on the newly enfeoffed Crown Prince, Prince Zhong!

Prince Zhong is the eldest son of the emperor, but because he is born out of wedlock, he has always been suppressed by the empress's faction. Prince Zhong is quite talented and shrewd, but he is too weak to defeat the second prince.

This is precisely the main reason why Jiang Ning chose him.

Without a powerful maternal family, even if the Loyal King succeeds in the future, he will certainly not dare to take action against the Jiang family!

Jiang Ning wants to get revenge on the scumbag, which is understandable, but she shouldn't drag innocent people into it just because she wants revenge.

Moreover, in Xu Zhaozhao's view, the reason why Jiang Ning wanted to break her up with Xie Zheng was simply because she didn't like them.

Now Jiang Ning wanted to do Fu Pei a favor ahead of time, but she intercepted it. Now, let's see what other tricks Jiang Ning can come up with to harm her.

When Sun Qian saw that Jiang Ning was not looking for her, she naturally panicked.

Jiang Ning's grandfather was the Grand Tutor of the court and was highly favored by the emperor. Moreover, Jiang Ning's aunt was the emperor's favorite concubine. However, this concubine was not very lucky. After giving birth to a princess, she lost the possibility of having another child due to other people's schemes.

Even so, the fact that Consort Jiang was able to firmly hold onto the emperor's favor is enough to show how superb her methods were.

After returning home disappointed, Sun Qian soon received a letter from Jiang Ning.

Sun Qian was overjoyed after reading it and immediately went to discuss it with her mother.

The next day, Xu Lin went to the Marquis's residence with a worried expression. Under the pretense of paying her respects to the old lady, the mother and daughter talked in the room for half an hour. When she left, Xu Lin had a big smile on her face.

That evening, the old lady suggested going to Huguo Temple outside the city to offer incense. She especially mentioned Xu Zhaozhao, saying that she felt that Xu Zhaozhao was now in better health and had a rosy complexion, and that she should visit the temple more often to pray to Buddha for his blessings in the future.

The old man is a Buddhist and felt that Xu Zhaozhao had been sick and had many misfortunes in the past two years. He often prayed in front of the Buddha. Now that he saw that it was effective, he felt that it was because his prayers to the Buddha had worked, which is why he made this suggestion.

Wang Ruolan also wanted to go, but she had something to do and couldn't leave, so she arranged for more people to take care of her along the way to avoid any mishaps.

Of course, you also need to prepare some money for sesame oil.

Before Xu Zhaozhao even left the city gate, she sensed that someone was following her and immediately knew that someone was about to use another trick.

She wasn't in a hurry; she was just waiting to see what the other party wanted to do.

Xu Zhaozhao is different now than when she first transmigrated. She now has the ability to protect herself, and even if she gets close, she can drain the life force of the other party to death!

Making people die without leaving a trace—that must be one of her special skills, right?

The horse-drawn carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and then we had to transfer to a sedan chair to go up the mountain.

Everything went smoothly the whole way, without any unexpected incidents.

Xu Zhaozhao only realized something was wrong when they started drawing lots and interpreting the results.

Someone tampered with this fortune-telling box.

As Xu Zhaozhao picked up the skewer she had just dropped, her pupils constricted slightly; someone was trying to harm her!

In a split second, Xu Zhaozhao had a plan. She deliberately swayed her body, then tilted her left hand, and most of the divination sticks in her hand fell out.

Now, there's no way to tell which one she shook out.

Since that's the case, let's just disregard it.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Zhaozhao deliberately got up and acted out of character.

"Alright, perhaps today is not a good day to draw lots. Dingxiang, let's go and keep Grandmother company."

"Yes, Miss. But what should we say if the old lady asks later?"

"It's nothing, just say we drew the best fortune. Grandmother brought us here mainly to put her mind at ease, there's no need to make her worry too much."

"Miss is really thoughtful."

No one knew that Xu Zhaozhao already knew who wanted to assassinate her.

The fortune stick we just drew was indeed a very auspicious one. It didn't mean her fate was bad; on the contrary, it directly indicated that she was a noblewoman with a phoenix-like destiny.

If this approval were to be issued, Xu Zhaozhao would simply have to wait to enter the palace to accompany the emperor.

You have to understand that the current emperor is older than her father. She must be crazy to want to marry an old man.
