In her previous life, Xie Mingyi was the queen for five years.
She worked for the emperor to stabilize the harem and the court. She saw her father and brother die in battle and Yanmen was deprived of food, but in the end she waited for an imperial edict to abolish the emperor. It was a stormy and snowy sky in front of Chengming's house, and she realized that the tragic death of the Xie family was no accident - someone had already set up a big net, but until her death, she never saw clearly the hands behind the scenes.
When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the day when the imperial edict was delivered to the Hou Mansion.
This time, Xie Mingyi did not break off the engagement. Instead, she put on the phoenix crown and walked into the palace where she was buried.
An old card that should not have appeared, a page of the dowry account that was taken away, a batch of military rations that had been taken away from the account but never arrived at Yanmen... She started from the most inconspicuous matters in the harem, rescued the palace maid who was almost pushed to take the blame, and gradually uncovered the secrets hidden between the imperial power, the family members and the border food roads.
Emperor Xiao Chengli gave her power, but was always wary of her losing control; Prince Jing Xiao Jibai and her tested each other and used each other, but they became the person who understood her best as they went through dangers side by side again and again.
She is the queen and he is the emperor's uncle.
They should have stayed as far apart as possible, but when danger came, they always walked towards each other first.
Later, Xie Mingyi was deposed again, and everyone thought she had lost.
But she took off her phoenix robe and walked out of the palace. Behind her were people's hearts, old ministers and an intelligence network all over the world.
In this life, she not only wants to keep the Xie family.
She also wants to find the real mastermind, return to the court, and turn the man-eating country upside down.
