Chapter 646 Rescue
They seemed to be heading down the mountain. Aunt Zhao and the others were already very familiar with this path. Suddenly, the young man with fair skin spoke up, "Miss Ah Xian, watch your step."
He suddenly helped Jiang Fenghua up, and Jiang Fenghua said again, "Thank you."
At that moment, a strange cry suddenly rang out from the mountains and forests, and everyone became alert.
In an instant, several dark figures rushed in from the darkness. Zhao Jin reacted at this moment. Just as she was about to grab Jiang Fenghua as a hostage, Jiang Fenghua grabbed the pale-faced young man's wrist before she could, snatched the sword from his hand, and used him as a shield.
The sword was pressed against his neck, but he dared not move. He hadn't even had time to react before she snatched the sword away.
Seeing this, Zhao Jin quickly sheathed his sword and called out, "A-Chong!"
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly and said, "So your name is A-Chong! What's your relationship with Aunt Zhao?"
Ah Chong was also stunned, and honestly replied, "So you know martial arts. She's my aunt."
At this moment, the shadowy figure was already standing behind Jiang Fenghua. Just as he was about to pierce Ah Chong's body with his sword, Jiang Fenghua reacted quickly and struck Ah Chong away with a palm.
The next moment, she attacked Zhao Jin with her sword. Zhao Jin was about to resist, but the shadowy figure did not give her a chance to resist and subdued her in one move.
At the same time, Lin Feng and his men arrived quickly and subdued Zhao Jin's men.
The tinderbox in the dark figure's hand instantly illuminated the surroundings. He wore a mask, and his deep eyes suddenly swept over the man who had been knocked away by Jiang Fenghua's palm strike. Just now, Jiang Fenghua had subconsciously saved this pale-faced man and dodged his sword.
Jiang Fenghua, unaware of his thoughts, glanced at him and said, "You came quite quickly."
She knew Xie Shang had arrived just from the sounds she heard coming from the woods.
Lin Feng said, "Losing Her Majesty is my dereliction of duty."
He added, "Empress has been captured by Su Qingqing, how could she be unharmed? The Su family hates her to the bone."
Jiang Fenghua stared at Su Qingqing, who was trying to escape in the distance: "Because I told her that I am not the real Jiang Fenghua. I was just captured by Xie Shang and Jiang Jinyan to temporarily replace Empress Jiang."
Lin Feng was stunned. "She believed that?"
Su Qingqing stared in horror at Jiang Fenghua. The Jiang Fenghua she knew wasn't like this, she was sure of it. But just now, her people had called her "Your Majesty." "Who exactly are you?"
Jiang Fenghua said, "It's true that I have amnesia, and it's also true that I am Jiang Fenghua. I really don't know Consort Su anymore, and I've forgotten everything that happened between me and Consort Su, so I can't understand how deep your hatred for Jiang Fenghua is."
Su Qingqing exclaimed in shock, "You have amnesia, you've forgotten everything? Are you kidding me? You've done so many bad things, and you've forgotten them?"
Xie Shang removed his mask and said coldly, "It is your Su family that has committed many unjust acts and done so many bad things. You still dare to talk nonsense even when you are about to die."
"Xie Shang, it's you." Su Qingqing was almost furious. She could have killed Jiang Fenghua, but she was deceived by her. She kept accusing Empress Jiang of all her evil deeds, and she actually believed her.
Su Qingqing slapped herself twice across the face. "I was stupid."
"If you were stupid, would you conspire with the Empress Dowager to murder the concubines in the harem? You are vicious. I really want to know how you knew that Consort Zhang and Consort Pan were pregnant when you and the Empress Dowager were no longer in the palace."
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Qingqing's eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about."
“You don’t admit it, but the Empress Dowager has already admitted it herself,” Jiang Fenghua tricked her.
Su Qingqing didn't believe it at all. "Don't try to fool me. Jiang Fenghua, you've done all sorts of bad things. You're the worst person."
Jiang Fenghua was used to being badmouthed and didn't care at all. "The plague at Jishantang was also your doing! I still want to know, you're a stray dog now, you have nowhere to escape and no way out. Besides colluding with the Empress Dowager to harm people, who else is helping you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know that Jishantang is my life's work. You attacked Jishantang to get revenge on me. The person who helped you must hate me too. Let me guess who she is. She must be someone of high status in Shengjing City. Otherwise, how could she hide you and prevent the authorities from catching you?" Jiang Fenghua's voice was cold and deep, reaching straight to Su Qingqing's heart.
Su Qingqing sneered, "This is the Jiang Fenghua I know. But no matter how you guess, you'll never guess who's helping me, who hates you so much, who wishes you were dead! Let me tell you, everyone in the world hates you."
Jiang Fenghua changed the subject again to entice her to speak, "Don't you want to know where your niece Su Tingwan is being held? Tell me, and I'll take you to find her. She is indeed still alive."
Suddenly, Su Qingqing went berserk. "Jiang Fenghua, where did you hide Wanwan? Please, have mercy and let her out! She just loved the wrong person and was abandoned by Xie Shang. She didn't harm you, she's no match for you, and she can't win against you."
Su Qingqing continued, "I've never understood why you, having already won Xie Shang's heart and taken him from Wanwan, and with the Su family's downfall, would still try to wipe them out. Stop torturing Wanwan; she never harmed you, and in the end, you became the Empress."
Jiang Fenghua remained silent. She didn't remember any of what she had said. Why did she have to be so ruthless? Because she was evil.
She stared at Xie Shang. Why was he hiding these things from her? Did she steal Su Tingwan's man?
Xie Shang said coldly, "The evil deeds of the Su family have long been exposed to the world. The Su family was ordered to be raided by the Emperor. The Su family deserved to die. It has nothing to do with Jiang Fenghua. Su Qingqing, you were already banished to the Cold Palace. It was the Su family who rescued you. You committed all sorts of evil deeds, and now you dare to turn the tables on me. Let me tell you, Su Tingwan is already dead. I killed her."
Su Qingqing stared at him, "You killed Wanwan, Xie Shang. You and Wanwan were deeply in love back then, how could you bear to kill her? She was straightforward and outspoken, unlike Jiang Fenghua who was cunning. You were bewitched by Jiang Fenghua, who is a vixen reincarnated, specializing in seducing men. She has no shame. You were bewitched by her and abandoned Wanwan after starting a relationship with her..."
At this moment, Xie Shang's sword pierced Su Qingqing's chest without mercy. In this life, they had no chance to harm Jiang Fenghua, but in the previous life, they had caused her great suffering, and he could not say any of this.
Jiang Fenghua's pupils widened in shock. "Su Qingqing can't die yet. She has accomplices behind her. We haven't found out who helped her escape from Shengjing City."
"Look at her, she's not going to reveal who's helping her." He just didn't want Su Qingqing to say anything more slanderous about Jiang Fenghua.
It was too late now. The sword pierced Su Qingqing's heart. She opened her eyes wide, staring in Jiang Fenghua's direction, blood trickling from the corner of her lips. Her eyes were full of mockery as she said sharply, "I will haunt you even as a ghost."
In the dim light, Jiang Fenghua could see the hatred in Su Qingqing's eyes.
