Yes, all of this was planned by my older sister and me.

　　When I first discovered that I had been reborn, I devoted myself to preparing for everything.

　　My older sister watched me grow up and soon noticed my changes.

　　Under her countless assurances and questioning, I revealed myself to her honestly.

　　Perhaps this matter was too strange and unbelievable for her.

　　She half believed and doubted, and even more, couldn't believe that her past self was so foolish.

　　It wasn't until I repeatedly proved to her with my ability to foresee the future that she finally believed.

　　But the Emperor was always worried that my older sister's power was growing, so spies from the Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion kept coming, which was not advantageous for our actions.

　　In the end, my older sister and I decided to have one person in the light and one person in the dark.

　　She was the stunning one who attracted the Emperor and Mu Junze's attention.

　　And I was the seemingly useless and wasteful one, which conveniently allowed me to mix in.

　　Just when my older sister went out on an expedition, Mu Junze approached her for various reasons.

　　She went along with it and played along.

　　Later, all the disagreements and unpleasantness between her and me were actually just acting for Mu Junze and the spies in the mansion.

　　Such a detour, the ultimate goal was, of course, not just to change our destinies and seek revenge, but to obtain the modified gunpowder in Mu Junze's hands.

　　In the past, he was able to become the crown prince not only by using the Marquis's Mansion and my older sister but also thanks to the gunpowder's contribution.

　　Initially, in order to obtain the formula for gunpowder, he slaughtered almost all of the martial world, and after improvement by the strategists by his side, its power had long been increased several times.

　　Those three barbarian countries that year were completely destroyed within a few hours by the modified gunpowder.

　　He also rose to fame with that one battle, going from a wise king to the crown prince.

　　Gunpowder was extremely powerful but also a double-edged sword.

　　If used improperly, it would bring endless troubles.

　　My older sister had been fighting for many years and cared for the people, so she naturally couldn't watch Da Zhou perish.

　　So, she took the opportunity to get close to Mu Junze and deceived him into giving her the formula for gunpowder.

　　And Pei Qingji only learned of our plan later.

　　He wanted to regain his identity, and I wanted to change my destiny and seek revenge.

　　Our goals were aligned, each taking what we needed.

　　Before he went to Jiangnan, we had already made a plan.

　　Mu Junze was blinded by his personal desires, and it was the perfect time for me and Pei Qingji to be absent, pushing him towards the palace.

　　In the end, he followed our plan step by step.

　　Of course, we have to thank the Emperor for his repeated 'cooperation.' If he hadn't been selfish and tried to guard against all of us while also balancing things out, just to clear the way for Mu Junze, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

　　So, we truly have to thank him.

　　Now that the world is peaceful, the dust has settled.

　　Pei Qingji didn't directly kill the Emperor, but instead, imprisoned him for life in the Cold Palace.

　　On the day he ascended the throne, he forced the old Emperor to issue an Imperial Edict of Self-Blame.

　　It turned out that Mu Junze was the son of the old Emperor and his concubine.

　　But this forbidden past was destined to not be recognized by the world."

　　In order to elevate his beloved son to the throne, the old emperor planned in advance when the former empress was about to give birth.

　　It was indeed a maid who replaced the empress by the old emperor's orders, as he was just acting like a thief catching a thief.

　　Today, the truth is revealed.

　　The matter of the true and false prince has also come to an end.

　　Coincidentally, there is news from Qin Prefecture: "Mother and father have returned to Qin Prefecture." When I bid farewell to Pei Qingji, the desolation in his eyes was evident.

　　He asked me, "Can you stay and become my empress?" I did not directly answer him, but it was already a rejection.

　　"In the first half of my life, I lived in constant struggle, only to strive for a different fate." "In the second half of our lives, we should both live freely and unrestrainedly, so as not to have lived in vain in this world." He remained silent for a long time, but finally smiled.

　　"Okay, let's both live well." As I turned around, he said again, "Ye Jingzhao, I will make this world as you wish." "The rise of the lower class and scholars serving the country.

　　Everyone has enough to eat and wear, and the people live in peace and happiness.

　　Family members are safe, and families are reunited." "Alright, I believe Your Majesty can achieve it." I did not turn back again.

　　In fact, having spent a long time with him, how could I not feel his intentions? But after experiencing a lifetime, love is not everything.

　　I have my ambitions, and he has his path as an emperor.

　　We are ultimately not on the same path.

　　In this life, traveling through the nine provinces, overlooking the rivers and mountains, aiding the poor and helping the weak, that is my best answer to him!
