Chapter 903 So what if he finds out!

Ao Xue was stunned, and blurted out, "Ah! Really?"

She wondered why the Emperor would ask such a question.

A sharp glint flashed in Xie Shang's eyes as he said coldly, "What's real or fake? Don't you even know? Or are there some things you're unwilling to tell me?"

Ao Xue bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. What I mean is, has Her Highness truly regained her memories? I truly do not know. What may I say to Your Majesty?"

She was completely baffled. Why was the Emperor so suspicious? The Empress hadn't done anything wrong, so why did he think she had regained her memory?

Has the Empress truly regained her memory?

"Why weren't you protecting the Empress just now? Where did you go?" Xie Shang asked.

Aoxue then remembered: "This humble servant went to chase after Prince Xiao. This humble servant discovered one of their hideouts, which was an inn. This humble servant also discovered that street hustler named Xing Yun, but Your Majesty said we should not alert them, so this humble servant did not go in."

Xie Shang had his own plans regarding the people of Bei Xiao Kingdom. He discovered that he could scheme against anyone, except Jiang Fenghua, who was too cautious and clever.

He asked, "Have you heard anything from your master?"

Aoxue nodded. "There's already news. Master went to the snow mountain, but she sent a message back. We should be able to contact her soon. Master, please come back soon! Does His Majesty want to ask about the antidote for the Guining Pill?"

Xie Shang then asked, "Does the Empress know about this?"

Ao Xue said, "This humble servant has not yet had a chance to inform Your Majesty."

"Don't tell her for now, so as not to worry her. Let's wait until your master returns and personally diagnoses the Empress!" He added, "Mr. Gongsun said that Ruan Ruan's amnesia may have become more serious, directly affecting her body. The flower on her forehead may be some kind of toxin. I don't want her to worry."

Ao Xue was stunned, then cupped her hands in a respectful gesture: "This humble servant understands." Her Majesty doesn't seem worried at all!

Xie Shang also followed Jiang Fenghua. He had been busy investigating the matter of the Di Sha Sect. The Di Sha Sect was actually a Jianghu sect that obeyed Xiao Shang's orders. Rather than a Jianghu sect, it was more like the Northern Xiao Kingdom's hidden army in the Great Zhou. There were people from the Great Zhou and people from the Northern Xiao Kingdom.

He has been busy handling state affairs lately and has not relaxed for a moment.

Ao Xue also fell into deep thought. Had the Empress really regained her memories? But she clearly lost her memories after taking the Gui Ning Pill. How could she regain her memories without taking the antidote?

She's been away all this time and only recently came back. It seems that neither Hongxiu nor Lianye have mentioned that Her Majesty has regained her memory!

Jiang Fenghua changed into an ordinary dress, her simple hair without a single hairpin, and the floral decoration on her forehead was covered by a veil. She smiled at Xie Shang in front of her and said, "I hope no one will recognize me like this! Do I look good?"

Xie Shang affectionately pinched the bridge of her nose and praised, "My Ruan Ruan is the most beautiful woman no matter what."

Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, confident in her appearance. "I will accompany the Emperor on his incognito visit."

Xie Shang, rarely relaxed, readily agreed: "Alright, I'd like to go and take a look at Jishan Hall."

Jiang Fenghua's heart trembled. "If His Majesty wants to go to Jishan Hall, then let's go!"

Xie Shang calmly took her hand and got into the carriage.

Jiang Fenghua glanced at Ao Xue secretly and saw that Ao Xue's eyes were full of doubt, and even her gaze towards her had become urgent.

She thought to herself: Xie Shang stopped Ao Xue and asked her questions earlier. She and Hong Xiu saw it when they left. It seems that Xie Shang really suspects it. Not only Xie Shang, but everyone around her actually feels this way. She knows that the matter of regaining her memories will not be kept secret sooner or later.

They went to Jishantang and met Luo Ziqiong again.

Besides running her small shop, Michelle Reis also helped out at the Kai Shan Tong. She loved children, but she couldn't have children herself, so the children at Kai Shan Tong seemed to be her spiritual support.

Xie Shang suddenly said, "Princess Qingping has really changed. When did Ruan Ruan become so close to her?"

Jiang Fenghua stared at Luo Ziqiong, who was moving among the children in the distance, and said calmly, "She can also be considered a new student."

She didn't ask who the Princess of Qingping was, but directly admitted that she had regained her memories.

A strange glint flashed in Xie Shang's eyes, "Ruan Ruan, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Fenghua suddenly walked towards Luo Ziqiong and said gently, "Ziqiong, you are so busy every day, yet you still come to Jishantang to teach the children to read and write. It must be very hard for you!"

“I don’t feel tired at all. I feel very fulfilled. I am so happy because of them. I really want to thank the Empress for agreeing to help me at Jishantang. I didn’t expect that I would actually get used to this kind of life. This place is like my home. The Empress may not remember Jishantang. The Empress once said that this place is like your home. I only feel at peace when I come here.”

Jiang Fenghua listened quietly to her warm, spring-like voice, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. The children also liked to surround her, and some of the children who had been with Jishantang since childhood had now grown up.

Jiang Fenghua did not shy away from their questions and easily called out their names.

Xie Shang watched quietly; he spent the entire afternoon with Jiang Fenghua at Jishan Hall.

He only learned later that Jishantang was originally established by her and Tan Wanqing. They lied to him, making up one reason after another to push Jishantang in front of him. He was furious at the time, but now Tan Wanqing leads people to follow Jiang Zhiqin to the border to guard the country's gate. Every time the Great Zhou needs help or is in trouble, the women in Jishantang can help.

He knew that all of this was instigated by Jiang Fenghua.

Xie Shang did not expose Jiang Fenghua, nor did Jiang Fenghua bring up the matter of her regaining her memory. He simply walked towards her and said gently, "Ruan Ruan, it's getting dark, let's go back to the palace first."

After saying goodbye to Tan Wanqing, Jiang Fenghua followed Xie Shang into the carriage.

Jiang Fenghua didn't know how far the carriage had traveled. Hearing the lively hawking outside, she lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the bustling street. Night had fallen, and Shengjing City was even more lively at night than during the day. She absolutely couldn't let Shengjing become like the one in her dreams.

Xie Shang looked out through the car window curtain and said, "Would you like to get out and take a look around?"

Jiang Fenghua's eyes were clear. "It's too late, let's go first..."

Xie Shang said to the coachman, "Stop the carriage."

The carriage came to a steady stop by the shore of Baihua Lake. Xie Shang stepped off the carriage before her and extended his hand to her. "The streets are so lively. What festival is it today? Let your husband accompany you for a stroll."

Jiang Fenghua suddenly felt her face flush and her heart race. She rarely saw Xie Shang like this. Even during their marriage, he was a stern and noble prince who never bowed to her, let alone tried to make her happy, unless she went to great lengths to please him.

Now he knows, so he knows!
