Mu Mingtang was stunned for a long time before she realised that she had lived a new life, reborn at the age of 9.
After her rebirth, she didn’t care to digest this huge lump of information nor did she care to think about why she was reborn. The first thing she did was to find her parents and ask them to move out of Xiangyang.
In another three years, Xiangyang would be destroyed by the Jie people and her parents would die on that day to protect her.
She was just a 9-year-old girl now and she had no way to save a city. All she could do was try her best to protect her family.
Master and Madam Fu didn’t know why their daughter woke up from a nap before she suddenly hugged them and cried, insisting that they move. Although her parents felt that it was strange, they felt sorry for their daughter in the end. Seeing that their daughter begged them so hard, they discussed and moved to the capital instead.
The Mu family had a business and a branch was going to be opened in the capital this year. At first, Madam Mu felt that Mu Mingtang was still young all along, so the thought of moving never crossed her mind. But now that she was making a fuss to move, there was no harm done in doing so as well.
It was only later that Mu Mingtang got to know that they were moving to the capital. Momentarily stunned, she smiled bitterly in response.
Although the capital seemed prosperous now, it was going to be ruined in a few years.
But Mu Mingtang couldn’t say it out loud because in the eyes of her parents, there would be no safer place than the capital.
Mu Mingtang felt depressed all the way, but in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the border of the capital. She looked up and saw the familiar and majestic Zhuque Gates, filling her with the urge to cry.
Mu Mingtang remembered that when she left the capital in a hurry in her pre-reincarnated life, the last thing she saw when she looked back were the dark clouds destroying the city. Cries and screams echoed everywhere and the Zhuque Gates billowed with thick smoke. Together with the capital city behind it, the once magnificent area became a short line in the history books.
In the 5th year of Suihe, the capital was breached and the city was on fire for 3 days.
And now the Zhuque Gates were still bustling with traffic. Ever majestic and towering, with a long queue of people entering the city, it boasted the atmosphere of the imperial capital.
The Mu family’s carriage moved with the entourage and gradually approached the Zhuque Gates. The guard confirmed the Mu family’s pass and let them in.
After entering, Mu Mingtang looked up and stared deeply at the intact capital city.
She was looking at it intently when suddenly, there was a noise sounding from behind her. She turned around in surprise and before she could see what happened, she felt a flash whooshed past in front of her eyes as a white horse jumped past her body.
Mu Mingtang was so frightened that she couldn’t move. After all, she had been the Empress for many years. Even if she was an Empress in the cold palace, she was a pampered one. How could she allow someone to offend her like this? She turned back angrily, wanting to see who was riding a horse at the city gate, but she was caught off guard and saw a familiar face.
…Was it him?
