Adapted short drama "Splendid Phoenix Cry" is now online.
In her previous life, when Jiang Fenghua was granted a marriage to Prince Heng, Xie Shang, to become his consort, she was not...
Chapter 569 What is the Emperor up to now?
Xie Shang embraced her and couldn't help but kiss her lips, but he only kissed her lightly. "Ruan Ruan, I love you."
Jiang Fenghua's cheeks were flushed, and she looked shy. Why was she confessing her feelings again?
Seeing that she did not resist, Xie Shang deepened his kiss on her lips. He was gentle and tender, carefully protecting her. Her eyelashes trembled, and she was so nervous that she dared not move, her whole body stiffening.
His hands started groping, and she quickly stopped him, asking, "What are you trying to do?"
Xie Shang, infatuated and confused, declared, "We are husband and wife."
Jiang Fenghua said, "You said we are engaged, and you can't do anything reckless before we get married."
Xie Shang was taken aback, then smiled and said, "A kiss is alright, isn't it?"
Jiang Fenghua blushed and quickly got up to look for Lin Yu. "Ayu was also drunk last night. Has she come back yet? I'll go check on her."
Xie Shang felt extremely displeased when he thought of Bai Yuhan saying that Lin Yu liked Jiang Fenghua, but he didn't show it. "Don't worry, someone will take care of her."
As Jiang Fenghua straightened her clothes, she asked, "Who will take care of her?"
Xie Shang chased after her, got off the bed, and hugged her tightly. "She's an adult, not a child. She can take care of herself. She'll get married someday. You two can't live together forever."
Last night, when he had someone cook a hangover soup, Guo Xiao was also cooking a hangover soup for Lin Yu. Then he heard the news that Lin Yu was going to marry Guo Xiao.
Xie Shang was overjoyed on the spot, feeling as if he had found a pillow when he was sleepy, so he asked someone to help them get married.
Just then, Lin Yu's deafening roar echoed through the inn, "Guo Xiao, what did you do to me?"
Guo Xiao said, "I didn't! I'm innocent!"
Jiang Fenghua pushed him aside and went out the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Yu chasing Guo Xiao everywhere.
Guo Xiao felt like he had seen a savior. "Help! Lin Yu is going to kill someone..."
Jiang Fenghua quickly stopped Lin Yu, "What happened?"
Lin Yu said, "Ah Ruan, don't worry about me killing Guo Xiao. He came to my bed last night..."
Guo Xiao quickly explained, "I really didn't do anything. I don't know why I ended up sleeping in your room. I clearly remember taking you back to your room and then feeding you some hangover soup before I left. After that, I don't know what happened."
Guo Xiao, hiding behind Jiang Fenghua, said to Lin Yu, "You promised to marry me last night, why are you going back on your word today?"
Lin Yu stopped fighting and said to Guo Xiao, "Come here, I won't hit you."
"I really won't fight."
"Yes, I really won't hit you. If you don't come over, I won't marry you," Lin Yu threatened directly.
Guo Xiao ran over again, but Lin Yu grabbed his ear and said, "You think I really won't hit you? I'll beat you to death!"
Guo Xiao started apologizing again, "I'm sorry, I... I really didn't mean to."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Don't hit him anymore. Last night you did say you wanted to marry him. Xie Shang told me everything, and I know what kind of relationship I have with him."
Lin Yu was stunned. Seeing Jiang Fenghua so calm, she said, "Aruan, do you really know everything?"
"Um."
"I'm sorry I caused you to lose your memory..." Lin Yu said urgently.
"It's alright." Jiang Fenghua smiled.
Lin Yu's eyes were red, and she wanted to hug Jiang Fenghua and cry again.
At this moment, Xie Shang also came out of the house, pulled Jiang Fenghua into his arms, and said coldly to Guo Xiao, "Take your woman away quickly. Don't hug and cuddle my woman. It's not a good look."
He said in a deep voice, "Ruan Ruan already knows that I am Prince Heng and that she is my betrothed. We will get married after we return. You no longer need to hide my identity from me." He made it clear to everyone, which was considered a revelation to them.
Lin Yu and Guo Xiao suddenly stopped making a fuss. Their faces were cracked. What was the Emperor up to now? Why had he turned back into Prince Heng?
What exactly did Jiang Fenghua find out?
Jiang Jinyan, Lin Feng, and the others also heard the news. Upon hearing it, their brows remained furrowed, becoming even more tightly knit.
Xie Shang, go ahead and do it!
Everyone here is smart and knows what to do next, but how will the Emperor cover up this lie after returning to the capital? Is he really going to let the Empress marry into the Prince Heng's mansion and live out their lives as Prince Heng and Princess Heng?
Xie Shang had no choice; Jiang Fenghua wanted a lifelong, monogamous relationship.
Lin Yu pulled Guo Xiao and said, "Let's go back to our room first and not get involved in their affairs anymore."
After saying that, she grabbed Guo Xiao and left. She would rather marry Guo Xiao than see Jiang Fenghua being deceived by Xie Shang.
What could she say now? It turned out that Xie Shang had said from the beginning that he was Jiang Fenghua's fiancé. He had already prepared his words. He was indeed a scheming man. If he tried to outwit Aruan, Aruan would never be able to outmaneuver him.
Seeing Lin Yu invite Guo Xiao away, Jiang Fenghua said, "I'll go and find out what their relationship is."
Xie Shang grinned slyly, "The deed is done, Lin Yu is destined to be Guo's daughter-in-law."
"But..." Jiang Fenghua was still worried, "What exactly happened last night? What do you know?"
Xie Shang explained, "Guo Xiao comes from a good family. His father is a vice minister in the Ministry of War. Guo Xiao is currently a deputy general in the Western Suburbs Camp. If he works hard to make military achievements, he will be promoted again soon. It would be a good deal for Lin Yu to marry him. Lin Yu is not young anymore. Having a man who loves her wholeheartedly is a way of showing her concern by letting her get married early."
Jiang Fenghua naturally didn't know the real reason Xie Shang wanted Lin Yu to get married. She thought Xie Shang was doing it for Lin Yu's sake. It was obvious that Guo Xiao liked Lin Yu very much. If what Lin Yu said last night was true, and she also liked Guo Xiao, it would be an excellent match.
Bai Yuhan was also woken up and stood by the door watching the farce. She wondered: Why is Lin Yu suddenly sleeping with a man? Could it be the Emperor's doing?
Yesterday she told Xie Shang that Lin Yu liked Young Master Ruan, and today Lin Yu is involved with a man.
Bai Yuhan was horrified just thinking about it. She had also admired Young Master Ruan. Luckily, she had never said that she liked Jiang Fenghua, otherwise, would he have also sent a man to her bed?
Thinking of this, Bai Yuhan quickly closed the door and bolted it.
At that moment, a visiting card was delivered to Jiang Fenghua from outside the door.
Xie Shang took the visiting card. "How did Ran Heng know you lived here?"
Jiang Fenghua took the visiting card and then remembered who Ran Heng was. They had even had a fight about him last night. Xie Shang was such a jealous person, always getting upset.
She said, "I don't know why he wants to see me."
Xie Shang said, "Let's go see them!"
Jiang Fenghua stared at him, finding his tone sarcastic and unsettling. "You really want me to go?"
"Just because I said you shouldn't go, does that mean you won't go? It's something that can't be stopped anyway, so why are you unwilling? If you want to go, then go!" Xie Shang said calmly.
Jiang Fenghua found it strange. "Why should I go? I don't even know him. You're such a strange person. You clearly don't want me to go, and I don't want to go either, but you insist on making me go."
“I’m not forcing you to go. You can refuse or not,” Xie Shang said.
"So, should we go or not?" she asked.
"Of course we'll go!"
"Let's go together!" Jiang Fenghua suggested.
Xie Shang smiled slightly: "That's excellent."
Hearing his two masters arguing, the guard felt utterly overwhelmed.
So the two went back to their rooms to tidy up and then reappeared in front of the guards. The guards looked at their two masters with even greater respect.
