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 956 I was just being used
Upon seeing this, Feng Jingyuan quickly said, "Isn't this Miss Bai? How come she..."
Jiang Fenghua quickly had Ao Xue and the others help Qin Yunyan into the car, and then explained to Feng Jingyuan, "Miss Bai is also a kind-hearted person. She is also going to Yuzhou with us for disaster relief."
After saying that, she instructed Hongxiu and Aoxue, "Get in the car quickly! There's no time left."
"Mother, we have to go. The Emperor's army is waiting for us at the city gate. We need to hurry over and join them. Take good care of yourself and Xiao Chu at home." After saying that, the group hurried away.
Gongsun Lan watched as Jiang Fenghua's expressions changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and her words were full of lies. She watched her performance the whole time and felt that she was completely different from the dignified and upright Empress Jiang in the palace.
Hearing that it was another call for disaster relief, Feng Jingyuan was exasperated. Would the Emperor really send a group of women to provide disaster relief? Ruan Ruan had always been very opinionated.
She knew perfectly well who Bai was. Rumors were flying in Shengjing that she wanted to sleep with the emperor; this vixen was after her son-in-law.
Ruan Ruan is now taking people to disaster relief with them all tied up; she truly lives up to her reputation as Feng Jingyuan's daughter.
But since Ruan Ruan is the Empress, she has to teach this woman who wants to seduce other men a lesson by going to disaster relief.
As Feng Jingyuan watched the carriage slowly disappear into the distance, she silently gave her daughter a thumbs up. That's how it has to be done. Keeping that Bai guy in the palace... Sigh! Men can't resist temptation.
Jiang Ruochu noticed the rich expression on her grandmother's face. "Grandmother, I think I just saw a pretty older sister. Is it Sister Qin who saved Xiaochu back then? Is it her?"
"Sister Qin?" Feng Jingyuan was completely confused.
Jiang Ruochu said, "The pretty lady who fell to the ground is Sister Qin who saved Xiaochu."
Feng Jingyuan thought to herself: Isn't her surname Bai?
"It's that pretty lady who fell to the ground, Grandmother! Did you see her clearly? Is it Sister Qin?" Jiang Ruochu didn't see her clearly before she was put into the carriage, but she looked a lot like Sister Qin, whom she knew.
Feng Jingyuan paused, as if she remembered something, "After all this time, can Xiao Chu still remember Sister Qin?"
Jiang Ruochu continued, "Not long ago, it was when I went to the palace to play with Princess Yan that I saw Sister Qin. But Mother said I was mistaken and she wasn't Sister Qin. But I saw it clearly just now! Why is she tied up by my aunt?"
Feng Jingyuan realized that when they went to the palace together to attend the Emperor's birthday banquet, Xiao Chu would go to play with Yan'er whenever she went to the palace.
If her name is Qin Yunyan, then why did she impersonate the Bai family's daughter to seduce the emperor in the palace? Mo'er knows Qin Yunyan. Is she afraid that Xiao Chu will recognize Qin Yunyan?
When Xiao Chu got lost, she was rescued by a girl named Qin Yunyan. Afterwards, she asked Minister Xiao and got confirmation. She wanted to thank her, but she couldn't find her.
Zhang Yumo did indeed meet that girl. If Mo'er knew the man surnamed Qin, she could have transformed into Bai Zhiyan and entered the palace to seduce the emperor. But Mo'er never told her about this!
Feng Jingyuan was quick-witted and immediately told the housekeeper to go after Jiang Fenghua and tell her daughter about it.
Feng Jingyuan was increasingly unable to understand Zhang Yumo. She couldn't understand why Zhang Yumo had so many secrets. She had been so gentle and kind back then, wholeheartedly devoted to Jiang Jinyan. Now, Zhang Yumo was always acting mysteriously. Feng Jingyuan was just Zhang Yumo's mother-in-law, not her biological mother, so she couldn't say too much.
She had always treated Zhang Yumo as her own daughter, and now the idea of making Ruan Ruan be wary of Zhang Yumo flashed through her mind.

After leaving Feng Jingyuan's sight, Jiang Fenghua's expression turned cold again. She stared at Zhang Yumo and said softly, "No matter what, you are Xiao Chu's mother. I will not make things difficult for you."
Zhang Yumo was stunned. "Why is Your Highness making things difficult for me? I haven't done anything to wrong the Jiang family."
Jiang Fenghua didn't respond, sitting steadily in the middle, while Gongsun Lan and Zhang Yumo sat on either side, looking at each other.
Zhang Yumo had just seen Qin Yunyan. She thought Qin Yunyan could successfully gain a foothold in the palace with her beauty, but she didn't expect the Empress to tie her up and take her out of the palace. Now that Empress Jiang was out of the palace, she wouldn't give other women a chance to get close to the Emperor.
It seems Qin Yunyan doesn't have the ability to climb into the emperor's bed.
Zhang Yumo stared at Jiang Fenghua. In her previous life, she was miserable and pathetic, but in this life, she was powerful and dazzling.
On the way out of the capital, the carriage was forced to stop once. Zhang Yumo saw the Jiang family's steward talk to Hongxiu for a while and then leave. She still felt uneasy.
In the carriage behind, Ao Xue stood guard beside Qin Yunyan. Qin Yunyan glared at her and said coldly, "Have you been wanting to get me out of the palace all along? I am the daughter of the Bai family. If I disappear, my parents will ask the Emperor for me. Empress Jiang will have a hard time explaining to the Emperor!"
Qin Yunyan said, "His Majesty still needs the Bai family's connections for disaster relief. You must send me back, otherwise..."
Ao Xue found this imposter quite laughable and scoffed, "Who would care about an adopted daughter of the Bai family? Miss Qin, you're overacting!"
Qin Yunyan's pupils dilated when she heard the words "Miss Qin." What did she call her? Could it be that Jiang Fenghua already knew who she was? Impossible, how could she possibly know her true identity?
Could it be that Xiao Yu told Jiang Fenghua?
Xiao Yu had promised her he wouldn't tell anyone her true identity, but he didn't keep his word. She knew Xiao Yu; he would never break a promise.
Qin Yunyan said, "Where are you taking me? Let me go! You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. It's ridiculous for the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty to use such low-class methods to deal with a weak woman. People will laugh at us if word gets out."
Ao Xue pulled out a dagger and placed it against her neck. "It was I who tied you up, not my mistress. Killing you is as easy as killing a chicken. Do you really think news will get out if you die? You think too highly of yourself."
Qin Yunyan turned deathly pale with fright. She knew it would be easy for them to kill her. Her eyes darted around. "You can't kill me! I have a way to save the Great Zhou. Go tell Empress Jiang that I know a secret technique that can change the fate of the Great Zhou and avert this natural disaster."
Ao Xue sneered, "Miss Qin, are you trying to say that you are the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan, that you know about the rebirth technique of Yinchuan, and that you want to be reborn before the disaster, to prevent it from happening and save the Great Zhou?"
Qin Yunyan was dumbfounded. How did she know that the information the man in black had told her wasn't only known to him? How did they know?
Qin Yunyan was unaware that Xiao Shang was merely using her to seduce Xie Shang, intending to ruin the relationship between Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang.
The carriage stopped, and Xiao Yu and his men guarded the city gate. When he saw Qin Yunyan being bound hand and foot and taken off the carriage, he did not expect that the Empress had brought Qin Yunyan with her as well.
