Chapter 885 She only knows that without power, there is no freedom
Gongsun Ling had also heard the rumors about the ancient country of Yinchuan. Jiang Fenghua only smiled faintly after hearing it, "It's just a rumor. There are also people in Shengjing City spreading this rumor. This palace and the emperor know that someone did it on purpose."
Gongsun Ling asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, don't you believe that there really is a Yinchuan Kingdom in the world?" The emperor seemed to believe it.
"It's not that I don't believe, but there's no point in believing. Why waste time on meaningless things?"
She added: "What's the point of studying the history of the ancient country of Yinchuan now? Could it be that the lady really reincarnated and reborn, could she make the ancient country of Yinchuan reappear on earth, and could the people of Yinchuan come back to life?"
She said this to Xie Shang, because Xiao Shang's purpose in spreading rumors was to alienate her and Xie Shang. The phrase "The Ice Phoenix has reincarnated, and the world has changed its master" could cause a huge storm.
If Xie Shang really believed it, the Jiang family would be doomed.
A mark appeared between her eyebrows for no reason, and Xie Shang knew that she was a reborn person. If they confronted each other bit by bit, she would become the devil in his heart. She had to remove this barrier and make him believe that she would never betray him.
Gongsun Ling suddenly realized something. He smiled awkwardly and said, "When I think about it, it really doesn't make any sense. It's just a rumor."
The Yinchuan Kingdom has been exaggerated to be a mysterious country and then turned into a rumor. Those who spread the rumor should be killed!
She was afraid that everyone would just think it was magical, and if people could really come back to life, and everyone believed it, then the world would be in chaos.
The key is that Xie Shang believes it now, because there is a living example in front of him. He is the emperor. If the emperor takes the lead in searching for the secret technique of Yinchuan Kingdom, his purpose will not be pure.
Jiang Fenghua had indeed guessed correctly. Xie Shang was indeed asking Gongsun Ling and the people from the Shenyin Camp to secretly investigate the secret techniques of the ancient country of Yinchuan.
"Why is Ruan Ruan here?" Xie Shang didn't know what Jiang Fenghua was thinking so he changed the topic.
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "I came to ask Mr. Gongsun if he has found the antidote for Guining Pills. The mark between my eyebrows is indeed a bit annoying."
Gongsun Ling glanced at Xie Shang and said, "I haven't found my sister yet. Her whereabouts are rather erratic."
Jiang Fenghua became more and more interested in his sister. What kind of girl could have developed Guining Pills, a drug that controls people's memory? She was Aoxue's master. Aoxue's medical skills were average, but she knew a lot about unconventional poisons.
She said, "Mr. Gongsun also has a lot of insights into poisons. I guess your sister may know more than you do!"
Gongsun Ling said, "Your Majesty is right. My sister is indeed better at it. She has an extraordinary talent and research in pharmacology. She is very interested in the poisonous flowers and insects in southern Xinjiang, so she has also come into contact with poisons like Yan Luo Xiao. It is indeed very rare and precious."
"So the people who assassinated your majesty were not only from the Northern Xiao Kingdom, but also from Southern Xinjiang. However, there are no people from Southern Xinjiang among those who came to Shengjing this time!" Jiang Fenghua added: "I heard that people from Southern Xinjiang are extremely mysterious."
Gongsun Ling explained: "This world is very big. To the west is the vast desert, to the east is the boundless ocean, to the south is the hundred thousand mountains, to the north is the frozen polar regions. The world we know is just the tip of the iceberg."
Jiang Fenghua's blood boiled when he heard this. "Has Mr. Gongsun been there?"
Gongsun Ling smiled and said, "I have been to some places, but not many. I saw a lot of them in my father's notebook. My father is a doctor, and he likes to travel around the mountains and rivers..."
"So he's seen a whale. Have you seen one, too?"
"How did your Majesty know that my father had seen a whale? My father had really seen one..."
Xie Shang was left out and suddenly felt jealous. Why did everyone like Jiang Fenghua? She was his queen and belonged to him alone.
Xie Shang suddenly put his arm around her waist and gave her a smile that he thought was pretty, "If Ruan Ruan is interested in the outside world, I will take the time to accompany Ruan Ruan to travel around the mountains and rivers."
Jiang Fenghua paused, then smiled sweetly, "The Emperor said that we cannot lie. I do look forward to the outside world, the desert, the ocean, the snow-capped mountains, the grasslands... We can go to many faraway places to see the largest animal in the world, the whale."
Before she lost her memory, Jiang Fenghua only longed for the palace and power. Now that she has lost her memory, she longs for freedom, so she has to pretend to be more realistic.
She only knows that without power, there is no freedom.
Just at this moment, there was a noise outside the tent.
Jiang Fenghua said to Hongxiu, "Go see who is making noise outside."
Before Hongxiu could leave, a guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's maid, Miss Dong'er, wants to see Your Majesty."
Xie Shang frowned, "You don't understand what I'm saying. What's the point of me raising you? I won't see you anymore."
The Emperor had already instructed not to see Concubine Song, but Dong'er said that Concubine Song was in critical condition, so they had to come and report it.
Jiang Fenghua saw that the guards were in a difficult situation. "Just tell me what you want to say. What happened to Concubine Shu?"
"Your Majesty, Dong'er said that Concubine Shu committed suicide."
Jiang Fenghua's brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" after hearing this. She looked at Xie Shang, only to hear Xie Shang ask in a cold voice, "How is the person?"
"I don't know." He was just a guard at the gate, how could he know whether Concubine Shu was dead or not.
"Go call Dong'er in!"
The guard let Dong'er in, and Dong'er immediately cried, "Your servant greets the Emperor and the Empress."
Xie Shang said impatiently: "What happened? Why did Concubine Shu commit suicide?"
Dong'er was also very good at acting, as if she was heartbroken, "The Queen said she was sorry to His Majesty, she couldn't understand why her two brothers would be so foolish as to murder His Majesty, she was too embarrassed to see the Emperor again, so she smashed the tea bowl and cut her wrists..."
Xie Shang just listened and didn't say anything. The Song brothers were timid and cowardly, and they were lazy and good at eating. How could they have the courage to plot to murder the emperor?
Jiang Fenghua knew that even for Peng Fei's sake, Xie Shang would not really punish the Song brothers. He might have locked them up just to teach them a lesson.
She found a way out for Xie Shang, "Your Majesty, please go and see Concubine Song Shu. After all, she is the mother of the Second Prince. Besides, it remains to be verified whether the Song brothers dare to collude with foreign enemies to murder the Emperor."
Song Qing was smart. She didn't keep protesting her injustice. Instead, she apologized, showed weakness, and even threatened to commit suicide to make Xie Shang feel sorry for her.
Jiang Fenghua then asked: "Is Concubine Shu's life not in danger?"
Dong'er said hurriedly: "The imperial physician treated her in time, but the queen is still a little weak due to excessive bleeding. She was already seriously injured, and now she is too worried. I beg the emperor to go and see the queen. She has always felt guilty..."
In the end, Xie Shang still went, but this time he took Jiang Fenghua with him.
