In her previous life, when Jiang Fenghua was granted a marriage to Prince Heng, Xie Shang, to become his consort, she was not...
Chapter 533 Her Whereabouts
Xie Shang was deeply disappointed upon hearing these words. He wished his past self had helped Jiang Fenghua. If he knew that a woman had died for him, would he regret it?
Xie Shang yelled: "You're sick, you're seriously sick! Go see her!"
He suddenly clutched his chest, feeling an unbearable pain, as if someone had struck him hard, causing him unbearable agony.
In the dream, they seemed to have a telepathic connection and were both heartbroken over Jiang Fenghua's passing.
After Jiang Fenghua's death, he learned of Su Tingwan and Ji Chen's scandalous affair, and the Su family still rebelled.
Xie Shang desperately shouted at him to avenge Jiang Fenghua, destroy the Su family, and kill Su Tingwan and Ji Chen.
This time, it was as if he had heard his cry; he truly wiped out the Su family and killed those two shameless people.
For the next few decades, he sat on the throne in a daze, as if he were constantly searching for someone, but he couldn't remember who that person was.
His heart ached terribly, as if it were being carved with a knife, the pain so intense he could hardly breathe. Who was the person he was looking for?
Xie Shang saw him tormented by heartache for the rest of his life.
Later, Emperor Xuanzong passed away, and a new emperor ascended the throne. The new emperor was weak and incompetent, and soon the Great Zhou Dynasty met its tragic end.
Just then, he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Shang'er".
Xie Shang asked in confusion, "Who is calling for me?"
"Shang'er, it is your father."
"Father, how could you appear in my dream?" Xie Shang never expected to dream of the late emperor again after his death.
"Remember to establish Jiang Fenghua as Empress and never depose her. This is something our royal family owes her, and it is you who have wronged her."
"Your subject knows that I have wronged her, and I know I was wrong." Xie Shang continued, "Father, how do you know that I have wronged her? Do you also have memories of your past life, which is why you issued an edict to make her Empress?"
"I learned of the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty by chance. I have failed my ancestors. I have been waiting for you all along. I valued Jiang Fenghua's talent and character, as well as the Jiang family's loyalty. You and I both made mistakes, aiding and abetting evil, which allowed the Su family to harm so many innocent people."
I thought that if you were free from romantic love, you would have a clear mind to govern the Great Zhou. But I was wrong. In your previous life, you were heartless and ruthless, and the Great Zhou still perished. Since she can change the fate of the Great Zhou, let your emotions be your own decision! Remember to make the Great Zhou prosper.
Soon the voice disappeared from his dream. He kept calling for his father, but no one answered him anymore.
He dreamed again of the day he hid in the artificial hill and cried alone. In the dream, Xie Shang's eyes were red and swollen, and he was covered in snot and tears. He looked so ugly!
The little girl in the dream was very bothered by people calling her an "ugly monster." In fact, she was not ugly at all; she was just called ugly because she didn't have front teeth.
She slapped him across the face and called him a "snotty slut."
She instantly snapped him out of his daze. He stared into her clear, bright eyes, and she told him to pull himself together and not give up.
He then began searching for the little girl, but he couldn't find her.
At this moment, Xie Shang saw the little girl in white again. Xie Shang chased after her and saw her happily run to the young Jiang Huai and Feng Jingyuan: "Father and Mother".
They said, "Ruan Ruan, where did you run off to? You can't run around in the palace."
"My daughter just met a crybaby and scolded him a bit." Xie Shang is going to be the emperor, how can he be so dejected? She wants him to cheer up, work hard to become stronger, and fight for the throne, because she will be his empress when she grows up. She also has to work hard and can no longer be as weak as she was in her previous life, only able to be bullied by others.
Her parents are still alive and well, her eldest brother is still working hard, her fourth brother is mischievous, and her second sister is also fine. It's not too late for everything. She must protect them and avenge herself and her family in her previous life.
Feng Jingyuan grabbed her hand, "What an annoying person! Let's hurry up and leave the palace, let's go home. I really don't like attending banquets like this, everyone's just trying to outdo each other..."
Jiang Huai held a position at the Imperial Academy, received a salary, and was a rank-based civil official. He was learned and respected. The Jiang family could live comfortably in Shengjing City without starving, but they also could not become wealthy.
To get revenge, you definitely need to make a lot of money. With money, you can go anywhere in the world without fear.
So Jiang Fenghua began to plan how to make money.
Xie Shang watched as the group left the palace.
He finally saw her face clearly. Jiang Fenghua looked very much like her when she was a child and when she grew up. Even though she was missing two front teeth, she was still very pretty.
How could he forget what she looked like, having missed another ten years?
He said, "Ruan Ruan, it really is you. Now I will never lose you again."
Xie Shang could hear her thoughts. He realized that Ruan Ruan knew about her past life even at such a young age. Thinking of how Jiang Fenghua and the Jiang family were bullied, he longed to personally go to her side and help her become stronger.
Fortunately, Ruan Ruan can live another life, and fortunately, she is still willing to marry him.
Master Wu said that the fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty had gradually turned from destruction to light. He understood that it was because Jiang Fenghua had been reborn. The phoenix rebirth he saw in his dream was Jiang Fenghua.
It was Father Emperor's will that she must become his empress, because Father Emperor wanted to save the Great Zhou.
The child in her womb is the Emperor Star. In her previous life, Jiang Fenghua only had two children, so no Emperor Star appeared, and the Great Zhou Dynasty perished. In this life, Jiang Fenghua has given birth to another son, which is the real reason for changing the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xie Shang woke up the next day.
In his dream, he saw Jiang Fenghua and everything that happened in his previous life.
"Amitabha," Master Wu Zi said slowly, "Your Majesty, now that your inner demons have been eliminated, please return quickly!"
Xie Shang bowed to Master Wu Zi and said, "Thank you, Master."
After Xie Shang left Huguo Temple, he instructed Lin Feng to summon his guards. "Search for the Empress's whereabouts. Once you find her, protect her safety. Do not disturb her."
Lin Feng was stunned. "If we find the Empress, won't we bring her back immediately?" With the Emperor's temper, he would definitely capture the Empress and then lock her up and confine her to her quarters.
Xie Shang didn't vent his anger on Lin Feng this time. Instead, he said very gently, "I will personally go to fetch her after I have finished dealing with state affairs. Let Aoxue come back to protect Yan'er and You'er's safety."
Lin Feng quickly replied, "Yes." Didn't the Emperor order Ao Xue to bring back her sister's head?
After that, Xie Shang stopped worrying and went straight back to the palace. He wanted to wait for Jiang Jinyan to return to the capital and for the war in the north to stabilize before he would have time to go see her.
He thought: Jiang Jinyan must know where his sister is.
