Chapter 889 Zhang Yumo Knows
At the same time, Zhang Yumo stood not far away. She had just heard something, and her heart suddenly pounded. She hadn't expected that there were other people besides herself who were also reborn.
She stared intently in Jiang Fenghua's direction, where she saw that Jiang Fenghua was noble and extraordinary, elegant and graceful, and poised and dignified. At this moment, Empress Jiang was like a queen.
In her previous life, Jiang Fenghua was extremely gentle, but she was also very easy to bully and lived a miserable life. Her life in this life was completely different from that in this life.
She had always thought this was another world, and that Jiang Fenghua's life in this life was so dazzling. It turned out that she was also a reborn person, and that she had changed her tragic fate in her previous life.
Zhang Yumo clenched her fingers. She looked in the direction of Sang Yupianpian and felt that she was noble, elegant and dignified, the center of attention. No wonder Jiang Jinyan was captivated by her.
What did they mean by the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom and the female ruler they mentioned earlier? What about the art of resurrection? Could their rebirth be related to the secret arts of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom? Does she have some kind of connection with the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom?
Besides Jiang Fenghua, was she also from the ancient kingdom of Yinchuan?
Zhang Yumo fell into deep thought, her mind preoccupied with the affairs of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom. What did Prince Xiao know?
At this moment, Jiang Fenghua walked up to Zhang Yumo and said in a deep voice, "What are you thinking about, sister-in-law?"
Zhang Yumo snapped out of her daze and hurriedly bowed, her heart pounding with fear, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."
"Why is your face so pale, sister-in-law? What happened?" Jiang Fenghua noticed that something was wrong with her. She also thought about how Xiao Shang had mentioned the ancient kingdom of Yinchuan and her rebirth. Others might think that the rebirth was a rumor spread by Xiao Shang, but Zhang Yumo wouldn't, because she was also a reborn person, and she knew Jiang Fenghua's fate in her previous life.
Therefore, Zhang Yumo would definitely believe that she had also been reborn.
Jiang Fenghua saw that Zhang Yumo's face was pale and immediately saw through her thoughts.
Zhang Yumo also looked at Jiang Fenghua. She had seen Jiang Fenghua several times before she committed suicide. At that time, Jiang Fenghua was the Princess Consort of Heng. Everyone thought that being able to marry the Prince of Heng was a blessing she had accumulated over several lifetimes. It was also a blessing for the Jiang family to be able to attach themselves to the royal family. But no one expected that it was this "blessing" that pushed her into the abyss.
Zhang Yumo was someone who had witnessed this abyss, so she was also very confused when she learned that she had become the empress in this life. Now everything has been explained.
Zhang Yumo stammered, unsure of what to say, "This humble woman is worried about my third aunt. How could she... Your Majesty, how will the Emperor deal with my third aunt?"
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "The Zhang family colluded with foreign invaders to harm the interests of the Great Zhou. Their crime deserves to be punished."
Zhang Yumo was so frightened that she was trembling all over. Her legs were shaking so badly that she could hardly stand. She wanted to say something, but she had no right to plead for the Zhang family anymore. It turned out that her third aunt and the fourth princess had both been in contact with people from the Northern Xiao Kingdom.
Now everything makes sense.
Was my cousin instructed by someone to harm Jiang Jinyan back then?
Jiang Fenghua added, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. You are now a member of the Jiang family and have nothing to do with the Zhang family. As long as you haven't done anything to harm the Great Zhou, the Emperor won't investigate you. Just stay peacefully in the Jiang family and spend more time with Xiao Chu!"
Zhang Yumo's lips trembled slightly as she said, "This humble woman knows, thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty. Xiao Chu is doing well; Mother is taking care of her."
Jiang Fenghua knew that Zhang Yumo had been very busy lately, busy managing her dowry. At first, she probably intended to establish her own household, but later she found that it was almost impossible for a woman to survive in the world. Without the protection of Old Madam Zhang, the Jiang family was her safe haven.
Zhang Yumo after her rebirth was somewhat annoying to her. Sometimes being too stubborn is not necessarily a good thing, just like Helan Yanran, who stubbornly liked a man who was not worth it. It's true that there is always something hateful about a pitiful person.
“If Prince Xiao runs away, will the Great Zhou and the Northern Xiao Kingdom go to war?” Zhang Yumo asked.
“Of course we have to fight, but how and when to fight are not our concerns,” Jiang Fenghua added. “The Zhang family’s good fortune has run out, so you need to be clear-headed.”
Zhang Yumo quickly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."
From the look in Zhang Yumo's eyes, Jiang Fenghua had already guessed what she knew. She didn't care. If Zhang Yumo was smart, she would keep her mouth shut. If she was stupid, then her life was over.
It's a shame God gave her a second chance. When she woke up, she pushed Jiang Jinyan away and failed to win over her husband. Now, she's pushing him further and further away.
It was too late for Zhang Yumo to regret it. How many chances would life give her to regret it? One rebirth had already used up all her luck.

On the other side, Xie Shang was furious. So many people couldn't stop Xiao Shang, and in the end, he got away.
Shangguan Li and Lin Feng took the lead in kneeling on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
"Each of you go and receive fifty lashes," Xie Shang said coldly.
The two men replied respectfully, "Yes."
The ministers also crowded outside the tent. Today, they finally found a reasonable explanation for the recent rumors circulating in Shengjing City. It all came from the Northern Owl Kingdom. The Northern Owl Kingdom had great ambitions, and they were even more worried that the Great Zhou and the Northern Owl Kingdom might go to war.
Jiang Fenghua walked up to the ministers, and they surrounded her again. "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to the Empress."
Jiang Huai looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with worry. He had never found a chance to ask her about her, and Jiang Jinyan wouldn't let him either.
Jiang Fenghua gave him a reassuring smile and said in a deep voice, "Ministers, please rise. Blocking the Emperor's tent won't solve the crisis of the Great Zhou. The Emperor knew about the rumors outside earlier than you and has already prepared countermeasures. Everyone should go back and guard their posts, perform their duties, and not be influenced by unfounded rumors. The more chaotic things are, the more likely the enemy will succeed in their plans."
The Empress reassured everyone, but one minister worriedly said, "The people from the Northern Owl Kingdom still managed to escape. They are too cunning; we couldn't capture them despite having so many of us."
Jiang Fenghua also felt that the other party was unfathomable. Last time, it could be explained by playing the bamboo flute, but this time he escaped. His martial arts skills were indeed impressive.
It was no accident that he became the king of Beixiao Kingdom. Regardless of whether he was reborn or not, he would eventually lead the soldiers of Beixiao Kingdom to invade the Central Plains.
She said, "His Majesty has made his own decision, so there is no need for everyone to worry. Please all step back!"
Jiang Fenghua entered the tent and saw that Shangguan Li, Lin Feng and the others were still kneeling on the ground. She walked up to Xie Shang and said softly, "It's not their fault that they didn't capture Xiao Shang. Your Majesty, please let them get up!"
Xie Shang said, "The Empress has pleaded for you, so why don't you get up now?"
Lin Feng and Shangguan Li bowed to the Empress, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
They did indeed feel ashamed. Being less skilled meant they lacked expertise, and being easily controlled by Xiao Shang's flute music showed their unstable temperament. They deserved to be punished.
Jiang Fenghua then told them all to leave.
Once only Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang remained in the tent, Xie Shang was also quite uneasy, worried that Jiang Fenghua might become suspicious of what Xiao Shang had said. He asked, "What does Ruan Ruan think of Xiao Shang's words?"
Jiang Fenghua remained calm. "Does Your Majesty believe that even if the ancient kingdom of Yinchuan existed in history, it disappeared over a thousand years ago? If I were truly the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan, would Your Majesty believe that I could overthrow the Great Zhou dynasty?"
Xie Shang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jiang Fenghua did not doubt Xiao Shang's claim of rebirth. How could anyone believe such a thing?
“Ruan Ruan is not only my empress, but also my wife. We are of one mind as husband and wife, how could I doubt Ruan Ruan’s loyalty to me?” He pulled Jiang Fenghua into his arms. “From now on, no matter what Xiao Shang says, Ruan Ruan, do not believe him. He is despicable and shameless.”
“But he is a reborn person!” Jiang Fenghua said. “In my dream, the Great Zhou was invaded by the Northern Xiao Kingdom. Did Your Majesty not believe it?”
Xie Shang certainly believed it, so he spared no effort to destroy the Northern Xiao Kingdom and kill the Northern Shang King.
