Chapter 888 Xiao Shang is besieged

"Who told you I was reborn? Prince Xiao, are you out of your mind to speak so recklessly?" Jiang Fenghua would never admit it; she was currently suffering from amnesia.

"Empress Jiang has actually lost her memory, hasn't she?" Xiao Shang couldn't detect a trace of hypocrisy in her expression. He only felt that her eyes were clear and extremely pure. He really didn't know if she was too good at hiding it or if she was just like that all along, making her impossible to see through and guess.

Jiang Fenghua chuckled softly. She was already beautiful, and the slight smile on her lips made her even more radiant. She said, "I understand. Prince Xiao had already found out that I had lost my memory, so he fabricated the story that I was the Queen of Yinchuan. You wouldn't be trying to say that my true form is the Queen of Yinchuan reborn in Jiang Fenghua's body, would you? You really only know how to talk; you dare to say anything!"

"I know this was all your scheme. You've really gone to great lengths to stir up trouble in the Great Zhou! It's a real shame you don't go into writing scripts and performing."

She was completely unconcerned and unsurprised, saying calmly, "Actually, Prince Xiao doesn't need to go to such lengths. You just need to..."

She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Xiao Shang listened attentively and became interested. "My schemes are so unappreciated by Empress Jiang. Your Majesty, tell me, what do I need to do to win Your Majesty's favor?"

Jiang Fenghua's smile deepened, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. This man must have developed a strong interest in her. Doesn't he know that his voice has changed?

She suddenly raised her voice and said coldly, "So it turns out that the Northern Owl Kingdom has long harbored wolfish ambitions to seize the Great Zhou Kingdom. No wonder since the Emperor ascended the throne, there has been an invisible hand manipulating public opinion to try to ruin his reputation. So it seems that Prince Xiao has been hiding in the Great Zhou Kingdom spreading rumors about the Emperor all along, and it has been you who has been stirring up trouble behind the scenes..."

Xiao Shang was amazed by how quickly she changed her expression; she was not only beautiful but also very clever and quick-witted.

The next moment, a large group of people suddenly appeared, led by Sang Yu Pianpian. They included envoys from other countries, officials from the Great Zhou Kingdom, and their families.

Standing next to Sang Yu Pianpian was Madam Zhang San. Madam Zhang San stared wide-eyed at Xiao Shang. Empress Jiang had just said that Xiao Shang had killed the Fourth Princess Consort. Xiao Shang did not deny it, which meant that he admitted to the murder. He was the man in black.

The man in black is the eldest prince of the Northern Owl Kingdom.

Neither Madam Zhang nor Madam Helan had ever seen the true face of the man in black, nor did they realize that it was the people of the Northern Owl Kingdom who had orchestrated all of this in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She had overheard their conversation while being held down by the Queen of Chaoxi Kingdom and hiding in the shadows. They had all heard some of the rumors circulating outside, and everyone was wondering if the ancient kingdom of Yinchuan really existed, with things like the art of resurrection and the reincarnation of a female ruler.

It turns out that everything was just a rumor, a scheme devised by the Northern Owl Kingdom to disrupt the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So that's what the Northern Owl Kingdom was planning when they spread these rumors.

Everyone was talking about it, but no one believed the claims of resurrection or the reincarnation of the female ruler, because they were too absurd.

Sang Yupianpian and Jiang Fenghua exchanged a glance and said, "It turns out that I was also deceived by Prince Xiao. The legend of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom that you told us was also false. It was fabricated by you. It turns out that you wanted to seize the throne of the Great Zhou Kingdom and deliberately made the envoys of various countries accompany you to the Great Zhou. I don't believe in any secret techniques of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom."

The Queen of Chaoxi Kingdom has spoken, and the other kingdoms also say: "We have never heard of or seen anything like this before. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural laws. Immortality and resurrection are all lies."

"Exactly, it's all a lie. No one in this world is immortal. If everyone could be brought back to life, wouldn't that be chaos? If Yinchuan Kingdom really had that kind of secret technique, why did the entire country disappear? That means it's fake. It's easy to understand."

"……fraud."

“This was fabricated by the people of Beixiao Kingdom; they just want to use us,” Sang Yupianpian said. “Don’t let Xiao Shang deceive you, everyone.”

Everyone began attacking Prince Xiao of the Northern Owl Kingdom.

Jiang Fenghua stood steadily to one side, a playful smile curving her lips, as if everything was under her control. Her tone was full of mockery: "Prince Xiao has been in Great Zhou for so long, and he's figured out its secrets so well. He must be very angry now that all his efforts have been in vain!"

When Xiao Shang saw so many people suddenly attacking him, he sneered. Now he realized that Jiang Fenghua had been setting a trap for him, waiting for him to jump in.

There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a hint of doting. He said to Jiang Fenghua, "Empress Jiang went so far as to reveal her identity to scheme against me. I underestimated her courage."

Jiang Fenghua narrowed her eyes slightly, "You think I'm scheming against Prince Xiao? I don't have Prince Xiao's cunning at all! You've been hiding in the Great Zhou under the guise of a man in black, and now you're trying to deceive me by claiming to be the Queen of Yinchuan. You want the Emperor to know that you're estranged from me. If I'm at odds with the Emperor, you can control him and achieve your goals. You plotted to kill Madam Li and the Fourth Princess, didn't you? Prince Xiao, do you have anything to say now?"

Now everyone is throwing mud at him. Even with his silver tongue, he can't explain himself clearly. After all, he didn't deny it just now, and he kept trying to convince Jiang Fenghua that she was the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan.

His wickedness is unmatched.

Madam Zhang stared at him, her hatred for him intense. How could her daughter have been killed by the man in black? He clearly said that Empress Jiang had secretly entered the Fourth Prince's residence. Did Empress Jiang not kill her daughter...?

She suddenly rushed to the front and shouted angrily, "You are the man in black. You killed my Rou'er. Rou'er died so pitifully. Why did you kill Rou'er? She had already falsely accused him of having an affair with His Majesty, just as you said. Did you want to kill her to silence her? Give me back my daughter's life!"

Xiao Shang stared intently at Jiang Fenghua. He had no interest in the Zhang family or the Helan family. The accusations from the outside world were irrelevant to him. As far as he was concerned, the Great Zhou Kingdom would perish sooner or later, and these people were not important.

"Guards, seize Xiao Shang! I will reward you handsomely," Jiang Fenghua coldly ordered.

Soon, guards came forward.

Xiao Shang said, "Does Empress Jiang think she can capture me? Your Majesty is truly naive. Has Your Majesty forgotten that you fought with me before?"

Jiang Fenghua knew he was referring to that night at the Marquis of Changping's residence...

What was he trying to do? She seemed to see the glacier too.

He blew the bamboo flute on his body, and a scene as if covered in ice and snow appeared again. Jiang Fenghua knew he was going to escape, so she had already ordered her men to surround and kill him. Even Sang Yupianpian joined the battle.

Xiao Shang's movements were fluid and smooth.

Xiao Shang said, "With the appearance of the Ice Phoenix, the world will change hands. Xie Shang, are you really not worried?"

Xie Shang arrived with the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Household Army. He looked in Jiang Fenghua's direction and said coldly, "Protect the Empress and capture the thieves. I will reward you handsomely."
