Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

As Uncle Qin's family was raided, news of the Queen Mother's sudden illness and death spread throughout the palace and beyond.

The government and the public were shocked and grieved, and the regent ordered a one-month suspension of government.

Because the treasury was empty, funeral ceremonies were kept simple.

It seemed as if a layer of gloom suddenly enveloped the court, and the officials were once again in a state of silence.

Two major events happened one after another at the beginning of the year, which really made people uneasy. However, in comparison, the envoy of Nan Zhao who was trapped in Yong State was the most uneasy person.

The phrase "ants on a hot pot" can no longer describe their current state. Ji Yucang did not issue an order to trap them, but because of this, their anxious state can be seen even more.

The army of the Yong Kingdom has set off for the southern expedition. Han Xun was imprisoned in the Regent's Palace, fed three meals a day with a whip, and was already dying. General Yang was also injured.

Everything is moving in a direction that is contrary to everyone's expectations. Fear, hesitation, and regret fill the hearts of these envoys every day, making their days feel like years.

After Shen Ning's body recovered, the intensity of training increased day by day. She fought alone on the school field, then one versus three, one versus five, one versus seven, drew a bow and shot an arrow, fired both arrows, and rode a horse for hundreds of miles on a suburban racecourse. ,shoot with great precision.

Both physical strength and mental state seemed to have reached a long-lost peak.

On the outskirts of the racecourse, Ji Yucang stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the woman galloping in the wind on horseback from a distance, his eyes were deep and gentle, as if he could drown people in them.

She was so dazzling and dazzling, like a red-clad heavenly general descending into the world. Her whole body was full of treacherous power, making people follow her back unconsciously and almost unable to look away.

Although there is no you and me, the silent companionship these days has made the relationship between the two quietly change little by little.

Da da da!

The sound of horse hooves comes from far and near.

The maroon woman on horseback has black hair tied back, her hair flying in the wind, her clothes fluttering, she is breathtakingly beautiful.

Ji Yucang watched her getting closer and closer to him. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in a happy arc, and his eyes became visibly gentle. He only saw a few personal guards who seemed to have seen a ghost in broad daylight.

A neighing sound suddenly sounded!

Shen Ning tightened the reins, controlled the mount, walked slowly to Ji Yucang, and looked at him condescendingly: "Do you want to compete?"

"I wish you could." Ji Yucang nodded with a smile, "But I have something more important to tell you today."

Hearing this, Shen Ning quickly dismounted her horse, held the reins and walked side by side with him: "Is there any news from Nan Zhao?"

The guards following Ji Yucang looked at each other calmly. They had already noticed the unusual involvement between the princess and Nan Zhao. Their master seemed to have known this for a long time. The two of them often talked about things in riddles. Words that people don’t understand.

But I really can’t figure it out in my heart, how did a legitimate daughter of Yongguo’s Duke’s Mansion get involved, who had never left the house since she was a child?

"Smart." Ji Yucang ignored the inner thoughts of his men and walked side by side with her on the horse farm, "Nan Zhao's border pass has been breached, and the army marched straight in. According to the speed of Nan Zhao's army's defeat, they can reach the imperial city in less than two months. ”

Shen Ning was silent for a moment and said in a complicated voice: "Nan Zhao really has no room for change."

"I want to go to Nanzhao with you at the end of this month." Ji Yucang tilted his head to look at her, "Take Han Xun with you, let him see with his own eyes the destruction of Nanzhao's country and family, the destruction of the country, and the consequences of his evil deeds. The aftermath, and seeing a new dynasty re-established after its collapse.”

"New dynasty?" Shen Ning frowned, "Don't you want Nan Zhao to be merged into Yong Kingdom?"

"The territory is too big and it is too tiring to manage." Ji Yucang slowly shook his head, "I want to take down Nanzhao's kingdom and give it to you."

Shen Ning's expression was subtle: "Ji Yucang, you are such a fickle man, more fickle than many women."

"The princess has misunderstood the prince." Ling Feng couldn't help but say, "The prince has always been a man of his word. He is only fickle in front of the princess, but this is all because he cares too much about the princess——"

"Shut up." Ji Yucang said coldly, "You stay here, you don't have to follow."

Ling Feng and Ling Yun: "..."

Shen Ning walked quietly for a while and said sincerely: "I always feel that your thoughts come and go, just like the weather."

Thoughts come out all at once, and it seems that they have never been carefully considered. One day, I still want to be an emperor, but tomorrow I may decide that it is better to be a queen.

Ji Yucang remained silent.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ning turned her head and looked at him, "Did I say something wrong?"

Ji Yucang shook his head: "My thoughts are indeed changing all the time. I am worried about regretting any decision I make in the future."

"Why are you worried?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable." Ji Yucang's voice was low. "I'm worried that after I take the power alone, I will gradually lose my original intention and focus my time and energy on government affairs. My feelings for you will be wiped out bit by bit. I'm even more worried about Nan Zhao. After being merged into the territory of Yong Kingdom, the status of the people of Nanzhao as a defeated country will make them inferior, which will make you feel aggrieved or gradually cause dissatisfaction. There are also many, many worries that I don't know what to do. "

"You are so worried about gains and losses, and you don't look like the decisive regent at all." Shen Ning raised her eyes and looked at the flat grassland in front of her, "It is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. As long as you have soldiers in your hands and strong combat capabilities, you can win many battles. It is a difficult thing, but after winning the country, it is extremely difficult to govern a chaotic, weak, and poor country. "

Ji Yucang nodded: "We can trade between the north and the south and establish a friendly and allied relationship. After the two countries formed an alliance, the war between the Western Zhou Dynasty and Nan Zhao also stopped -"

"Wait." Shen Ning was suddenly startled, stopped, and turned to look at Ji Yucang, "The Western Zhou Dynasty is still fighting Nan Zhao. Even if the Yong army can attack the imperial city in two months, they will be plundered by the Western Zhou Dynasty. What should we do with our territory? Can Nan Zhao still be called a country after losing half of its territory?”

Ji Yucang raised his hand to straighten her hair: "I sent people to negotiate with the Western Zhou Dynasty years ago."

Shen Ning raised her eyebrows: "Why didn't I know?"

"You are recovering from your injuries, and I want to give you a surprise." Ji Yucang said, "They agreed to give up the five cities they captured, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?"

"If the new emperor of Nanzhao has children in the future, he must marry the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Shen Ning frowned and looked strange: "What kind of request is this? The Western Zhou Dynasty is very powerful and does not need to form an alliance through marriage."

"I'm also curious about this question, so I've sent people to Western Zhou Dynasty to find out." Ji Yucang said, "There may be a reason for this."

"You agreed?"

"I agreed." Ji Yucang smiled faintly, "Anyway, the two of us will not have children. The only thing we have to do in the first ten years is to restore Nanzhao's vitality. When the situation stabilizes, we can choose a child with good qualifications, abilities, and conduct to train him. Become an emperor."

Shen Ning was silent for a longer time this time: "I have no idea what you are thinking. The Western Zhou Dynasty and Nan Zhao have been mortal enemies for decades, and the war has almost never stopped. In the past, Nan Zhao won and lost. But we were able to hold on to the border. This year, the Western Zhou Dynasty finally broke through the border and captured five cities in Nanzhao, but they were willing to give up completely just by asking for marriage? Ji Yucang, I think this is too unreasonable. "

Ji Yucang said: "It is indeed unreasonable, but the envoys I sent represent the Yong Kingdom, not Nan Zhao. The Western Zhou Dynasty had to weigh the importance? Of course there is another reason."

"What?"

Ji Yucang took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Ning.

Shen Ning opened the letter suspiciously and read it. There was only one sentence in the letter: Is Princess Zhaohua still alive?

Shen Ning looked at this sentence in silence, frowning: "Ji Yucang, are there gods in this world?"

Why did she feel that what was happening to her was getting weirder and weirder? Shen Ning was very sure that she was just an ordinary woman, but she was lucky enough to be born into a royal family, and unfortunately fell in love with a person she shouldn't like, and trusted a king she shouldn't trust. leading to his final tragic death.

But even before her tragic death, she never felt that she was a great person. However, what happened after her death seemed to be breaking her perception bit by bit.

Not only could she be reborn into another person and live a new life with someone else's identity, but more importantly, Ji Yucang actually knew her previous identity.

Now something even more bizarre is coming. Someone in Western Zhou actually knows that she is still alive.
