After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

When Wei Zhaoning was first reborn, she never imagined that one day she would be able to live the life of her dreams.

She wants a home, a harmonious marriage, where everyone cares for and helps each other, a true haven.

When she died in her previous life, she even felt that there was no such warmth in the world, because she had spent her whole life trying to do this, thinking of everyone and trying to use her kindness to create a family, but no one could see her goodness, and she even brought a lot of unnecessary trouble upon herself.

How could she believe something existed that she had worked so hard for her whole life without ever achieving?

After being reborn, she was determined to avoid the same old path as in her previous life and never thought she would have the chance to live such a life again.

Until he met the Regent, the young Prince Rong, and the Seventh Princess.

She even felt warmer than when she was in the general's mansion.

I wish things could stay like this forever.

But she didn't forget that the Crown Prince was still a major hidden danger.

Fortunately, the last incident frightened the Crown Prince, who hasn't made any moves recently. But ultimately, he won't let this go.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Yi suddenly hugged Wei Zhaoning from behind.

The scalding heat rushed towards her, warming her body which had been chilled by the wind.

"I'm thinking, life is so good right now. I want it to be like this forever."

Pei Yi laughed and said, "Ningning, you're hiding something from me."

Wei Zhaoning was taken aback. "What?"

Pei Yi turned Wei Zhaoning's face towards him, looking directly at her: "What is it that you can't even tell your husband?"

Wei Zhaoning knew what Pei Yi was suspicious of.

She's been quite sentimental lately, which is unusual. Pei Yi is actually a very perceptive person, and since they spend every day together, he can always sense that something is wrong.

Wei Zhaoning remained silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't have a good time when I was in the Marquis's mansion. The life I have now is what I've always dreamed of, so I'm feeling a bit sentimental."

Pei Yi narrowed his eyes. "I know everything about what happened at the Marquis's residence. Ningning, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. You can tell me when you want to, okay? I was just asking casually. You need your privacy too. I just don't want our Ningning to be so sentimental all the time. It breaks my heart."

Wei Zhaoning understood. Indeed, from an outsider's perspective, her behavior after her rebirth seemed as if she had a grudge against the people in the Marquis's mansion. Compared to her past self, who was full of hope when she entered the Marquis's mansion for her wedding, it was too abnormal.

But seeing Pei Yi's somewhat disappointed expression, Wei Zhaoning couldn't bear it and said, "Husband."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that some things are too unbelievable."

Pei Yi nodded. "Alright, I said I'd wait until you really want to say it before you speak."

Come here and give me a hug.

Wei Zhaoning and Pei Yi were embracing each other, but she still felt uneasy.

As it turns out, a woman's intuition is surprisingly accurate.

The crown prince made a move very quickly.

The killing of a key minister in the court was orchestrated by the crown prince.

He wanted to test whether Wei Zhaoning truly possessed such capabilities, so he killed one of the emperor's confidants to see if Wei Zhaoning would make any moves.

Wei Zhaoning panicked. The matter involving Young Master Xiao was originally something the two of them had done through underhanded means.

She never imagined that the Crown Prince would take such a great risk to kill an innocent person.

The Emperor is now almost certain that the Crown Prince was behind it. The Crown Prince is gambling. If Wei Zhaoning doesn't have that exact same card, then even if the Emperor finds out that he killed someone at will, so what? At that point, no one in the entire world can stand against him.

Pei Yi entered the palace early in the morning.

Wei Zhaoning was filled with anxiety in the mansion. She had to find a way to intimidate the Crown Prince before His Majesty arrested him, or everything would be over.

Just then, Prince Rong arrived. "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? Why are you in such a hurry? My brother went to the palace today. Let's go to the restaurant to watch a play."

The Seventh Princess followed behind him. "Let's go, sister-in-law, the seats have all been reserved."

Wei Zhaoning was already in a state of utter panic, but he still maintained a calm demeanor and asked, "A-Quan, can you mobilize your imperial brother's troops?"

Pei Quan immediately became serious. "Yes, most of them recognize me. What's wrong? What happened?"

Pei Ran immediately became alert. "Has the Crown Prince made a move?"

Wei Zhaoning nodded, no wonder the two of them didn't know the news; Wei Zhaoning herself had only just learned that the Crown Prince had killed someone.

Pei Ran frowned and said, "I'm afraid the capital is about to undergo a major upheaval."

Prince Rong asked doubtfully, "Even if the Crown Prince returns, he'll be a figurehead. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause?"

Prince Rong had been staying in Meishan for many years and was unaware of the recent events that had occurred. He had no idea what kind of hand the Crown Prince held.

Wei Zhaoning said solemnly, "A-Quan, you must not underestimate the enemy. You have been on the battlefield before, and you should know that underestimating the enemy is a major taboo. The Crown Prince is no longer the Crown Prince you remember."

The Seventh Princess echoed in a deep voice: "That's right, Quan, cheer up, we're about to have a tough battle."

The Seventh Princess's voice was strong and clear, her back was straight, and her usual arrogance was gone. You could tell that she was a woman of integrity.

Wei Zhaoning was somewhat surprised; none of her family members were ordinary people.

Pei Quan immediately said, "Someone, prepare the horses."

"Sister-in-law, it will take me at least three days to travel back and forth. I'm leaving now. Please stay calm."

Wei Zhaoning hurriedly said, "If you see my maternal grandfather and eldest uncle, tell them to turn back immediately to help. If we wait for His Majesty's order, it may be too late, and it will alert the enemy. I have no choice but to overstep my bounds this time."

"Leave it to me."

"Don't worry, His Majesty is not an unreasonable person," Pei Ran said.

"it is good."

Wei Zhaoning personally packed enough dry food and water for the young Prince Rong and escorted him out of the city.

"Sister-in-law, let's divide the work. You go to the Prince Duan's residence, and I'll do my best to gather troops," Pei Ran said.

Wei Zhaoning also had the same idea.

A warmth filled her heart; the feeling of fighting alongside her family gave her a lot of confidence.

Since her rebirth, she has always been alone, planning and executing everything by herself. Only now does she truly understand how wonderful it feels to have someone supporting her.

It's as if it's constantly telling you that you're not alone, that you don't need to be too nervous, that there are many people standing behind you, supporting you, and that you will definitely win.

Now she has no choice but to change her strategy, prepare for the worst, and confront the issue head-on. She might be able to fool the Crown Prince the first time, but it won't be so easy to fool him a second time.

This is destined to be a fierce battle, destined to result in rivers of blood.

Wei Zhaoning invited Shen Shu to go to the Prince Duan's residence to explain everything.

That evening, bad news came from the palace.
