Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 1 The Abandoned Queen

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Dayan Tiandao, the first snow finally fell in the capital.

Snowflakes were overwhelmingly covering the inside and outside of the capital. In the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City, Queen Fang Qingyan was reclining on the phoenix couch in a daze.

Since the beginning of winter, there has been no snowfall in the capital and surrounding prefectures and counties. This winter without snow, the weather has become colder and colder. Firewood and charcoal in the capital have been sold at sky-high prices, and countless people have died of hunger and cold.

Emperor Xie Yao was troubled by internal and external troubles and had not been to Kunning Palace for more than three months.

The snow that had been looked forward to all winter finally fell, and as usual, palace people would report such auspicious events to various places in the palace.

However, the rumor that the Queen had lost her Sacred Heart had been circulating in the palace for a long time. Most of the chamberlains were people who worshiped those who were superior and scorned those who were inferior to others. It had been snowing for most of an hour. The news spread throughout the six palaces in the east and west, and the chamberlain who announced the good news arrived outside Kunning Palace.

The bright red candle reflected the picturesque features in Zhu Luan's mirror, but Fang Qingyan's heart was full of sorrow.

She was the eldest daughter of the former Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and her father Fang Luan was the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion, possessing all the power in the world. Xie Yao, who was still the second prince at the time, requested a marriage decree and welcomed her into the palace.

.

He was once a humble gentleman known throughout the country. After getting married, the two became what the world calls a divine couple. It was precisely with the full support of the Fang family that when the late emperor passed away six years ago, Xie Yao ascended the throne as the emperor as he wished.

Fang Luan became a famous protector of the country.

That year, Fang Qingyan was eighteen years old.

Fang Qingyan calmed down and recognized the person. She raised the corner of her mouth and said with a sneer to the man in dragon robe: "The king of a country has actually become the personal follower of Cao Huaili, an eunuch. Xie Yao, this

Is this your way to be a king? Where is your ambition?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silk book from his sleeve, stretched it out and handed it to Fang Qingyan, "Look at these treasonous words. Even the late emperor scolded me. Anyone who reads it will be angry, let alone me."

The prince who delivered the decree saw that Fang Qing's face was ashen. He hesitated for a moment, walked to Fang Qingyan's side, knelt down and said in his ear: "My queen, don't be panic, everything can be discussed in the long run."

The sandalwood in the furnace had long since burned out. There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then someone opened the door and entered the hall. Fang Qingyan was secretly happy and hurriedly stood up and straightened her clothes.

Another voice came, thundering like a thunder above Fang Qingyan's head, "Fang, the prince has just conveyed the emperor's will. Now let's go with our family."

The protector's family background was steeped in academics. Fang Qingyan didn't learn much about poetry and calligraphy when she was in her parents' family, but her martial arts and strategy were second to none. The three eunuchs brought eight eunuchs with them when they announced the decree, but they didn't expect Fang Qingyan to actually do so.

There was a reaction, Fang Qingyan's eyebrows were raised, and neither of them wanted to be the unlucky guy rushing in front. They looked at each other and took a few steps back.

Xie Yao, the king of a country, claimed to be "I" in front of her, without any pretense of being an emperor. Fang Qingyan felt a trace of tenderness in her heart.

But his voice was a little rough, and everyone in the palace heard it clearly. Another chamberlain curled his lips and said: "What is the long-term plan? Fang Luan and his son colluded with King Hui to cause trouble. If the Fang family didn't cooperate inside and outside, how could it be possible?"

thing?"

Fang Qingyan finally understood what was going on. In an instant, the past flashed through Fang Qingyan's mind like a revolving lantern, stupid, selfish, insidious, despicable...

The next breath, Fang Qingyan saw Xie Yao's flattering face and said to Cao Huaili: "I have followed the governor's words and killed this bitch. Now that the internal culprits have been eliminated, I still need to rely on the governor to clear out the rebellious parties and wait until the world is peaceful.

I will never forget the benefits of the Governor."

A burst of messy footsteps rushed into Kunning Palace. The man at the head was wearing a big red robe, with a golden unicorn on his chest shining brightly under the light. A man was wearing a blue dragon robe, walking beside him, and behind him.

Followed by a group of royal guards.

This man gave her glory, expectations, and yearning

However, there was a sudden sharp pain in her heart, which brought her back to reality. Under the cover of the silk book, Xie Yao had a dagger in his hand at some point, and when she was distracted, it pierced her heart.

Later, Xie Yao's visits to Kunning Palace became less and less frequent, and it was rare to see him even within a month or two. After his father refused to hand over military power, Xie Yao never entered the gate of Kunning Palace again.

.

When she was young, she had hoped to travel the world with her sweetheart, but she didn't want to end up as a canary imprisoned in the palace at the age of twenty-four.

In the past six months, due to the ownership of military power, the emperor, father, brother and the emperor have become incompatible. A few days ago, her mother came to the palace to ask for greetings, and Fang Qingyan tried her best to persuade her. Only then did she realize that her father was using her as a cover. The request for greetings was not only to find out the truth, but also to reassure the emperor.

.

Cao Huaili only frowned and said calmly: "The old slave just said it casually, but the emperor actually took it seriously, which really gave her an advantage."

She reached out to take the silk book in Xie Yao's hand, but did not read it. Her eyes fell on the handsome man in front of her. Her eyes were wandering. She had forgotten the intention of abolishing the queen just now.

Everything was slowly replayed in her mind. Recalling the beautiful moments in the past, Fang Qingyan couldn't help but feel in a trance.

The four of them faced off for a moment. The prince glanced at the other two chamberlains, turned around and exited the hall, presumably to report a message. The other two chamberlains were guarding the door of the hall, and one chamberlain saw Fang Qingyan leaning on a pillar.

On one side, her hair was slightly messy, but she didn't look embarrassed at all. She felt a little unhappy and said mockingly: "Ms. Fang, we advise you to be more knowledgeable. At this point, do you still think you are the high-ranking empress?"

Although I already knew that this day would come sooner or later, I didn't expect that it would happen so soon. Before the chamberlain finished reading, Fang Qingyan slipped to the ground without saying a word, closed her eyes, and two drops of tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Fang Qingyan's heart became cold again when she saw three chamberlains filing in, but Xie Yao was nowhere to be seen. The leading chamberlain had several red scars on his face and looked indescribably ferocious. After entering the door, he just stood in the hall.

Determined, he shouted loudly: "There is a decree, Fang will accept it!"

She stood up suddenly, struggled to pull out the rotten silver candlestick embedded in the pillar behind her, pointed at the three chamberlains and shouted sternly: "I am the queen of a country, how can I be humiliated at the hands of eunuchs like you! Call Xie Yao over!"

After getting married, in order to please this man, she studied all the music, chess, calligraphy and painting that she had always disliked, hoping to harmonize with her husband.

However, as the concubines from various palaces entered the palace one after another, Xie Yao still became more and more indifferent to her. At first, he would follow the ancestral system and come to Kunning Palace once on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

The cold wind outside the door carried snowflakes and rushed into the hall. With the bursts of chill, Fang Qingyan's heart froze. In an instant, depression, sadness, unwillingness, resentment, and sadness all surged into her heart.

Fang Qingyan was shocked and hurriedly knelt down to salute, only to hear the chamberlain say: "The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven: Queen Fang, who has been blessed by the divine grace for a long time, does not know how to repay, relies on favor and is arrogant, holds grudges, engages in slander, forms cliques for personal gain, and manipulates power.

In the harem, there is no virtue of maternal etiquette, and he does what Lu Huo did. Now his title is revoked, and all the necessary decisions will be made by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. I appreciate this."

Father and brother rebelled!

The moment she was canonized as Queen, facing Xie Yao's doting eyes, Fang Qingyan thought she had no regrets in this life.

These words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time came out one after another. Fang Qingyan finally realized that she was so stupid and pitiful that she would entrust her sincerity to such a man.

He probably won't come tonight, Fang Qingyan sighed quietly in her heart.

A dark look flashed across Xie Yao's face. He stood at the door of the hall for a moment, walked to Fang Qingyan with a calm expression, and said softly: "Yan'er, you also know my situation.

Things, there are some things I can't control. I wanted to treat you well, but your father and brother are restless and arrogant. Let's not talk about it. This time they colluded with Xie Hui to rebel and caused chaos in the world. I will always give it to you.

Everyone in the world will give an account."

In this life, the father and brother regarded themselves as tools to fight for power, and the husband regarded himself as a bargaining chip in the pursuit of the throne. It turned out that everything was a calculation.

The moment her body fell, Fang Qingyan heard the sound of her heart breaking, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she knew she was going to die...

The blood dyed the silk book red, as if the setting sun was burning among the clouds, or like the large plum blossoms blooming in the snow. Most of the writing on it was no longer legible, and only a few lines of words were faintly visible.

"On Ding Maowang in the twelfth month of the first year of Yanfu, King Hui Xie Hui, Duke Hu Guo, Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies Fang Luan, Tai Tu, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Ruogu, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, etc., issued an order to heaven: The false emperor Xie Yao has never been benevolent and filial.

, Be ungrateful and unkind. Kill your father and murder your mother, and humans and gods will be angry about it; harm the good and harm the good, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. You pretend to be the destiny and deceive the people. They are alienated from the ancestral temple and lose their virtue in the country. They destroy the law and are lazy.

In politics, power and order are abolished in the hands of eunuchs; in desolation and immorality, etiquette and friendship end at the side of women."
