QT: TPE Chapter 3.1

Thinking of her relatives who died tragically in her previous life, Xu Lingyi’s hatred intensified.

She thought that men might not be reliable, but the children she gave birth to would definitely be.

If the situation were worse, she simply had to wait until her child ascended the throne.

If things had gone better, she might have been able to use a fake pregnancy to get rid of Princess Minghua, her enemy.

“Miss, are you awake?”

As Xu Lingyi plotted in her mind, her personal maid called her from outside.

Xu Lingyi has two personal maids, one named Chun Hua and the other named Qiu Shi.

They were all found for her by her mother. They had grown up by her side since childhood, and logically, they had a deep bond. However, Qiu Shi betrayed her.

“Come in.”

Xu Lingyi responded.

“Miss, Madam wants to see you. She says she’s going to the temple to offer incense tomorrow.”

The visitor was Qiu Shi.

Xu Lingyi suppressed her emotions. She had once regarded Qiu Shi as a confidante and sister, but Qiu Shi had fallen into Li Xu’s arms and been bewitched by his sweet words.

Li Xu promised her a position, so she turned around and harmed her master.

A person who can be swayed by self-interest is not reliable.

The person to compare her to is Chun Hua. Chun Hua never betrayed her until her death.

“What time is it now?”

For some reason, when Xu Lingyi woke up, she knew that she had been reborn and was very certain that she could start over.

However, she didn’t know which point in time she had been reborn into. Xu Lingyi felt a little strange; perhaps it was just intuition, she thought.

“Miss, it’s afternoon now. Are you perhaps still half asleep?” Qiu Shi said with a smile.

Xu Lingyi found Qiu Shi’s smile irritating. When she used to like her, she thought that Qiu Shi was lively and clever, and always had a smile on her face, which made her feel good.

But now that she hates her, everything she says and does is despicable in her eyes.

Those who have been kind to her will be repaid after her rebirth, and those who have wronged her will be retaliated against without reservation.

This is her principle.

She has already figured out how to deal with Qiu Shi.

In fact, the Xu family is still at its peak, and dealing with a little girl would be a piece of cake for her. But she didn’t want to let her off so easily. Of course, she had to make the most of this traitor.

“You can go out now.” Xu Lingyi said without further ado.

“Call Chun Hua in.”

“Miss.” Chun Hua arrived quickly.

She always seems to be like this; whenever she calls Chun Hua, she always arrives right on time.

Compared to Qiu Shi, Chun Hua is steadier and more reserved, with a slightly lower sense of presence.

“What year is it now?” Xu Lingyi asked her directly.

Chun Hua was somewhat surprised, but she assumed that her master was just confused from sleeping and had forgotten the time.

Such things happen often. For example, the Madam doesn’t have a very good memory, and sometimes she will ask for the time.

“It is now the sixteenth year of Jianping.”

Xu Lingyi understood.

The Emperor ascended the throne at the age of twenty and had been on the throne for a total of sixteen years. So the Emperor is now thirty-six years old.

The Emperor in her past life passed away in the 26th year of Jianping, so there are still 10 years before Li Xu ascends the throne.

He has not been adopted yet and is still in competition with several members of the imperial clan.

Even in the twenty-sixth year of Jianping, the Emperor was still in good health.

The Emperor’s death was due to an accident.

Although Li Xu became the crown prince, the power was still firmly in the hands of the Emperor. At that time, Li Xu was a rather pathetic crown prince, and he did not have much power.

The Emperor also detested forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices. It was she who worked hard to help him.

The Emperor felt guilty toward the Xu family and did not hold her actions against her. In fact, in the Emperor’s eyes, these were just minor incidents.

When the Emperor was climbing Mount Tai, he was crushed by a huge boulder that slid down and lost his life on the spot.

At first, she also thought that it was Li Xu who did it, but in the end, it was indeed an accident.

She still remembered the overwhelming joy and excitement she felt for Li Xu at that time.

She thought that she was about to get her wish and avenge her mother and the others, but soon after Li Xu took power, the first family he dealt with was the Xu family.

She tried to negotiate with a tiger, but ended up harming the Xu family instead.

She decided that she would never let the Xu family suffer again in this lifetime.

She wanted to see how Li Xu could ascend the throne without her family’s support.
