A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Lady Liu burned down the Yongning Marquis's residence and went into hiding.

She first hid in the house that Shen Ao had prepared for her, but then Prince Huai, Xie Xuanjin, returned to the capital, the Shen family was destroyed, and Shen Ao fled alone.

I heard that Prince Rui, Xie Yuqi, died by Xie Xuanjin's sword. After Empress Meng was burned to death, Emperor Yuan fell ill and never recovered. Now only Prince Huai, Xie Xuanjin, remains.

Since Yan'er married into the Duke of Shen's mansion and Tang'er inherited the Marquis's mansion, she has been too proud and too high-profile.

Everyone knows she is Prince Rui's woman.

If she continues to stay in the capital, she will certainly not have a good ending.

So, she had to escape.

She wanted to leave the capital, but before she could even step out, she saw a man and a horse blocking her way.

"The Liu family?" The man on the horse exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

"I...I'm not," Liu said, avoiding the man's gaze.

But then he heard a cold laugh from the man.

"You've hidden for enough time," Xie Xuanjin said coldly. "Do you know why I'm killing you?"

Kill her?

Liu's body trembled, her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, pleading urgently, "Don't kill me, Your Highness Prince Huai! I'm just a woman, I didn't do anything. Please, Your Highness Prince Huai, investigate thoroughly and spare this lowly woman's life."

She knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, her head hitting the ground with a thud, completely unaware that Song Qingning was standing right next to her.

"Didn't do anything? Then how did the entire Yongning Marquis's family die?"

"You switched babies more than twenty years ago, climbing the social ladder by stepping on the blood and bones of the entire Yongning Marquis's family of four. You say you're just a mere lady?"

"Such a viperous and wicked woman deserves to die!"

Listening to Song Qingning's breathing, Xie Xuanjin understood the turmoil in her heart as she faced her enemy.

His heart was also churning.

He could clearly feel the pain rising in his heart at this moment. Unable to bear seeing her tormented by hatred, Xie Xuanjin did not give Liu Shi another chance to breathe.

He deftly nocked the arrow and drew the bow.

"you……"

The words of Xie Xuanjin echoed above Liu's head. She looked up in horror, wanting to ask how he knew these things, but she only managed to utter one word before three sharp arrows shot towards her, piercing her head and killing her instantly.

On the empty street, the body fell to the ground with a thud.

Xie Xuanjin jumped off his horse and walked to the body.

He knew Song Qingning was beside the body. As he approached, Xie Xuanjin reached out in a certain direction, as if to support her shoulder, and said softly, "Song Qingning, your revenge has been achieved!"

Xie Xuanjin thought that once Song Qingning had avenged herself, she would no longer be tormented by hatred and could be happy.

The hatred in her heart had indeed lessened considerably because of the death of her enemy, but she appeared less and less frequently.

When Emperor Yuan died, the court officials welcomed Xie Xuanjin to the throne.

On the day of his coronation, Xie Xuanjin was absent from the court banquet. He ordered people to prepare wine and dishes at Jinhua Palace, and he waited there early in the dark.

After dismissing the palace servants, Xie Xuanjin was left alone in the vast Jinhua Palace.

Outside the gates of Jinhua Palace, however, there were quite a few people standing.

Empress Meng, Xie Yunli, Wan Zi, Wan Liang, Uncle Qin, and Meng Huaizhou all wore solemn expressions.

No sound came from behind the palace gate.

"Sister, I think we should find someone to exorcise the evil spirits," Meng Huaizhou said with a worried expression.

Emperor Xuan Jin, a perfectly respectable emperor, was actually haunted by wandering ghosts. On such a momentous day, he abandoned all his officials and locked himself up alone in Jinhua Palace.

They prepared food and drinks, clearly intending to celebrate with "that person".

Wan Liang frowned. "The Emperor issued an order the day before yesterday that no sorcerers are allowed to enter or leave the entire capital. The meaning is quite clear."

The emperor was afraid that the sorcerer would harm "that person".

"But……"

"Never mind, Xuan Jin wasn't injured either," Empress Meng said.

Despite this, the worry in Empress Meng's eyes did not dissipate.

Suddenly, the sound of a zither drifted from inside the palace gates, and everyone knew that "that person" had arrived.

Inside Jinhua Palace.

Xie Xuanjin finally met Song Qingning. Despite the abundance of dishes on the table, Xie Xuanjin didn't touch a single one. He played the zither and practiced swordplay, listening to Song Qingning's praise. Perhaps because he had drunk a few too many cups of wine, Xie Xuanjin's heart began to beat faster.

"Song Qingning, if only you were alive, if only you were alive..."

Xie Xuanjin was interrupted by Song Qingning before he could finish speaking.

"Xie Xuanjin!"

There was a hint of panic in his voice.

How could Song Qingning not guess what he was going to say?

She watched as Xie Xuanjin's gaze towards her grew increasingly intense; it was the affection between a man and a woman, but it shouldn't be like this.

She is a wandering ghost.

After Liu's death, she had avenged her great enemy. She could clearly feel that she was becoming weaker and weaker, and that she could only appear for shorter and shorter periods of time.

She guessed that she was dead, but the reason she still existed in this world was because the hatred accumulated in her heart was too intense, and her obsession was not dispelled, so it turned into resentment and she became a lonely ghost.

Now that her great revenge has been achieved and her obsession has dissipated, she may disappear one day.

She couldn't even stay by his side in this way, let alone anything else!

Looking at the person brewing tea in front of her, Song Qingning said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "If I were still alive, I would definitely be able to brew a good cup of tea too! I'd like to try your tea, and also..."

"I told you I'm skilled in riding and archery. If I were alive, I'd show you my ability to hit a target from a hundred paces away, but..."

Song Qingning paused at this point.

Xie Xuanjin lifted his slightly lowered eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, his curiosity mixed with a hint of urgency: "But what?"

A moment of silence fell over the air.

After a while, the sound came, getting much closer to Xie Xuanjin.

She was beside him, just inches away.

Xie Xuanjin's lips unconsciously curled up as he guessed what she was going to say, but when he heard what she said next, his smile froze on his face.

"However, this world imposes too many restrictions on women: to be good wives and mothers, to be virtuous and generous. If one is bound by these constraints while alive, it is better to be a ghost and be free. Xie Xuanjin, I am leaving!"

Song Qingning's voice was very light and cheerful.

Xie Xuanjin's mind went blank, and all he could hear was a buzzing in his ears.

It took him a long time to recover, but he still couldn't hold the teacup steady, and the scalding tea spilled onto his legs, but he didn't care about the burning pain.

"If you're leaving, where are you going?"

As he spoke, his voice trembled slightly.

Song Qingning sighed inwardly, her resolve hardening; she had to go.

"I'll go see the mountains and rivers of Dajing; perhaps I'll encounter some fortuitous opportunities. These past few days, being confined to your palace has been incredibly boring, so I'm going to explore the world!"

"Bored? What do you want? I'll have someone find it!" Xie Xuanjin "looked" at her, unable to suppress his panic.

He swallowed hard, then said urgently, "There are many things in this palace that you haven't seen."

"Since you like military books, I will have someone gather all the military books in the world tomorrow so you can read them at your leisure."

"And weapons, even though you can't use them, it's the same as watching me demonstrate them."

"And jewelry, you are a woman, you must like those things, I'll have them all sent over."

"besides……"

Xie Xuanjin kept talking, as if hoping there was something that would interest her.

In that case, she will stay.

But after a long time, there was no response from Song Qingning.

"Song Qingning, are you still there?"
