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 811 She learned things she didn't know before
Xiao Yu must have just found out that she was dead, and that her body had been smuggled out of the palace, so he went to find her body first, and then dug the pit.
His fingers were bleeding from scratching. "Teacher, I have brought the Third Miss back to you. You have always been reluctant to let the Third Miss know about the Jiang family's misfortune. Now your family is reunited. If I live, I will definitely come back to sweep your graves. If I die, I will still be your student in the next life. In the next life, I will definitely protect the Third Miss."
Jiang Fenghua listened to Xiao Yu's words, puzzled, "What does Xiao Yu mean?"
Thinking back to how Xiao Yu looked when he first met her, could it be that Xiao Yu liked her in her past life? Had they met before? She had no recollection of it at all.
Xiao Yu then bid her farewell, saying, "Although I have never spoken to Miss San, and have only glanced at her from afar, from that one glance, Miss San's face has been etched into my heart..."
Jiang Fenghua remembered that most of her father's students were implicated by the Jiang family and dared not associate with them, so when the Jiang family got into trouble, no one helped them. With Xiao Yu's knowledge, he should have entered the court as an official by now!
Confined to the inner palace, she knew nothing of officialdom. Now, seeing Xiao Yu's disheveled appearance, she wondered if he, like his elder brother, had failed to enter officialdom or had resigned.
Jiang Fenghua then thought of another woman in the palace. In her previous life, she had become a Noble Consort. In this life, Qin Yunyan was unable to enter the palace due to a series of coincidences. She and Xiao Yu were from the same hometown. At that time, Xiao Yu was ordered to confiscate the Qin family's property, and Qin Yunyan and Xiao Yu became enemies.
Where did Qin Yunyan go after that?
Suddenly, her spirit met her gaze. Her eyes were filled with resentment, and the fierceness between her brows intensified. Her hatred was like dark clouds rolling in the night sky. She stared coldly into Jiang Fenghua's eyes.
Jiang Fenghua clearly saw a splash of blood suddenly stain her brow, and her spirit suddenly roared at her, "Go back, go back quickly, kill them, kill Xie Shang."
Jiang Fenghua was startled, and she unconsciously touched her forehead.
She felt a trace of blood red on her fingertips. There was no mirror here, and she wanted to see if there was a blood red mark between her eyebrows as well.
She didn't get to see Xiao Yu bury her body.
The moment she turned around, she arrived at Kunning Palace.
Jiang Fenghua wondered to herself: Why did she suddenly come to Kunning Palace? However, what she didn't expect was that she saw a scene that left her speechless: Su Tingwan and Ji Chen were making love in the bedroom and doing that filthy thing.
The two seemed to have been in cahoots all along. Su Tingwan only had resentment towards Xie Shang, resenting his repeated selection of concubines for the palace. Empress Su had not been favored by the emperor for a long time, and she could not bear the loneliness of the deep palace, so she committed a capital crime with Ji Chen.
Jiang Fenghua sneered, "So there are many things she doesn't know. Empress Su, whom Xie Shang deeply loved, betrayed him long ago. They were so loving back then, but look at them now."
A palace maid was hiding in the shadows, and she reported everything that had happened in Empress Su's palace to Consort Qin.
Jiang Fenghua knew that all of this was in her dream. She ignored the two filthy people on the bed and suddenly caught a glimpse of herself in the dressing mirror, still with that beautiful face.
The crimson mark between her brows seemed to transform into a blood-soaked red spider lily, its petals layered upon each other, like a bewitching flame burning from hellfire.
She tried to wipe it off with her hands, but the bloodstain wouldn't come off no matter what she did.
She thought: It must have been in a dream that this red red spider lily suddenly appeared.
Jiang Fenghua recalled the scene from earlier. Did her spirit see her? Why did she let her go back and kill Xie Shang?
She thought that with her death, all grudges and hatreds would be wiped clean. However, when she saw the Jiang family's tombs, her hatred for Xie Shang surged to her core. If it weren't for Xie Shang's indulgence, the Jiang family's fate would not have been so tragic.
Did I want to kill Xie Shang before I died in my past life?
Just then, Xie Shang, dressed in a noble dragon robe, and Qin Yunyan, radiating wealth, burst into Kunning Palace one after the other.
Empress Su and Ji Chen were caught in the act of adultery.
Xie Shang's icy eyes shot out a chilling light. His face showed no pain, only endless coldness. His thin lips curled slightly as he sneered, "When did the Prince and the Empress become so close, so close that they're practically naked?"
The two men pulled the blankets over their private parts, knelt on the bed, and repeatedly kowtowed, begging for mercy. "Your Majesty, spare our lives! It was the Empress who seduced us. We didn't want to."
Su Tingwan was dumbfounded, her face turned pale with fright. "It's not like that, it was my elder brother... it was Ji Chen who forced me. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Jiang Fenghua sneered, "When disaster strikes, everyone flies away!" The two, who were just moments ago passionately in love, are now shifting blame onto each other.
She looked at Qin Yunyan beside her. Qin Yunyan in this life was indeed impressive. She not only won Xie Shang's favor, but also became a Noble Consort.
A triumphant smile flashed in Qin Yunyan's eyes; she seemed to be watching a show...
Jiang Fenghua was stunned. Could it be that Qin Yunyan already knew about Su Tingwan and Ji Chen's affair, and that she was also preparing to fight against Empress Su?
But Empress Su has the powerful Su family behind her!
In her previous life, although she lived in the Morning Light Palace, she heard the palace maids talk about how Consort Qin was favored by the emperor and how the Qin family had presented the emperor with a lot of gold and silver to replenish the national treasury.
Buying the emperor's favor with money is still favor, so Qin Yunyan made the right move. In addition, she is indeed a beauty of unparalleled grace, and has the capital to seduce Xie Shang.
Empress Su was banished to the Cold Palace, and Ji Chen was beaten to death.
Jiang Fenghua thought that Su Tingwan would not die because of the Su family's backing, but she did not expect Xie Shang to give her poisoned wine.
She thought that they had at least loved each other when they were young. The Su family held military power, so he dared not touch Su Tingwan's position as empress. Even if he was just putting on an act, he would pretend that the incident had not happened and continue to let Su Tingwan enter the empress's palace.
Next, after learning that Su Tingwan had been sentenced to death, the Su family rebelled. Xie Shang had already received the news and wiped out the entire Su family, killing the whole clan.
Jiang Fenghua sighed deeply. It turned out that after her death, Su Tingwan also died, and the Su family had been wiped out.
Jiang Fenghua was filled with mixed feelings. Xie Shang had killed the traitors to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the destruction of the Su family had avenged the Jiang family. She didn't know why she wasn't happy even after learning the truth about her past life.
She had already avenged herself. The death of the Su family again didn't excite her. Compared to the safety of her loved ones, the life and death of her enemies were as insignificant as dust.
The woman she had hated for twenty years was mercilessly executed at his command, yet she felt no satisfaction.
