Chapter 423 She is the Phoenix
"You can't go. The palace is heavily guarded. I think you'll be discovered as soon as you go in. But I can take you with me next time I go to the palace," said Jiang Yunxi.
This empress is not an ordinary person. If they break in, she will definitely find out.
"Okay." Qianheng always listened to her. If she said she couldn't go, she would definitely not go.
The next day.
Jiang Yunxi let Qianheng and the others go out and play by themselves. She and Zhan Beiyuan planned to go to Prince Jing's Mansion, although the empress would definitely investigate about the baby girl from twenty-three years ago.
But they have to investigate what they should investigate.
When Eunuch Wang learned that they were going to Prince Jing's Mansion, he immediately arranged for a carriage and people to escort them to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Jiang Yunxi did not refuse. It would be better if someone gave it to her.
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
The people from the palace found the steward of Prince Jing's mansion. After explaining their purpose, the steward immediately went in to report. After a while, he took Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan to the living room in the front yard.
"I wonder what brings you to Prince Jing's Mansion?" Prince Jing Nangong Yao looked at the two young men coldly. If they hadn't been brought here by the people from the palace, he wouldn't have met them.
He is the Prince Jing of Xuanyue Kingdom, and not everyone can see him.
"Did Prince Jing's Mansion lose a daughter twenty-three years ago?" Jiang Yunxi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. She wanted to see how Prince Jing would react.
"No." Nangong Yao said without thinking.
"Why did you lie?" Jiang Yunxi exposed her.
Nangong Yao's face suddenly turned gloomy and ugly, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Yunxi said casually, "Twenty-three years ago, a baby girl was born in Prince Jing's Mansion, wasn't it?"
"How do you know?" Nangong Yao's eyes were sharp and chilling.
"The Empress said so."
Nangong Yao's expression changed and looked very ugly.
"The Empress also said that the child was..."
"Enough, what does this have to do with you? Who asked you to come to Prince Jing's Mansion?" Nangong Yao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his heart was filled with anger.
"I am the real daughter that was just found in the Duke of Ying's Mansion in the capital of Tenglong Kingdom. Previously, there was a fake daughter, Jiang Chenyu, who looked very similar to Princess Qionghua, like sisters."
Jiang Yunxi felt that she had explained it clearly and he should be able to understand.
"What do you mean?" Nangong Yao sat up straighter, frowning slightly. In fact, he understood what she meant.
"What I mean is that Jiang Chenyu is very likely your daughter. Although the empress buried the child alive, someone rescued her and took her to Tenglong Country to exchange her with me." Jiang Yunxi said in detail.
Nangong Yao stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "What you said is true, that child is my daughter, where is she now?"
Jiang Yunxi looked at his reaction and raised her eyebrows slightly. Judging from Prince Jing's reaction, he seemed unaware that the child had been transferred to Tenglong Country.
But it may be that he is a good actor.
However, she inexplicably felt that he was truly unaware of the previous situation.
"The capital of Tenglong Kingdom." Jiang Yunxi did not hide it. She wanted to see what he would do next.
"I will send someone to pick her up immediately." Nangong Yao said in a resounding voice.
Jiang Yunxi now understood that the other party really wanted to bring Jiang Chenyu back to Xuanyue Country. It seemed that he really didn't know that the child had been swapped.
"Prince Jing went to fetch her, isn't he afraid that the Empress will attack again?"
"She almost killed my daughter back then. This time, I will definitely not let her get her wish. What's more, she has contracted a strange disease and can't even protect herself." Nangong Yao said coldly.
"Can I know why the empress wanted to kill this child?" Jiang Yunxi was very curious.
Nangong Yao was furious and said, "Before she was even born, the master said that my daughter was destined to be a phoenix. When the empress heard this, she was afraid that someone would take her throne, so she found an excuse to bury my daughter alive."
When he talked about the latter part, he was extremely angry.
Twenty-three years.
After twenty-three years, my daughter suddenly appeared. It seems that her fate is still hers. Even if someone tries to harm her, she will still be alive and well.
"Is Jiang Chenyu destined to be a phoenix?" Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched fiercely. She did not see any signs of the phoenix's destiny on her.
"That's right, the master said so. I want to bring my daughter back." Nangong Yao acted as if no one could stop him.
Jiang Yunxi said with a half-smile, "Although the Empress has contracted a strange disease, it won't kill her, and she'll recover soon."
"Impossible. So many miracle doctors and masters have seen it, but no one can cure it."
"I can cure it."
"You?" Nangong Yao's heart sank. He didn't know how many people were hoping that the empress would not survive, and that she would give up the throne sooner rather than occupying it all the time.
"That's right, I met the empress yesterday. Although she has a strange disease, it is not fatal. I suggest you think carefully before bringing Jiang Chenyu back, otherwise something might happen if she comes back." Jiang Yunxi said deliberately.
She wanted to see what Prince Jing would do.
Nangong Yao turned his back to them, his expression changing constantly. Then he turned around and sneered, "Even if the empress's illness will be cured, so what? I still want to take my daughter back."
Now, he naturally would not let her find any excuse to bury his daughter alive.
"So, Prince Jing is planning to fight against the Empress." The smile on Jiang Yunxi's face deepened.
"You are not from Xuanyue Country, so naturally you don't know how many people hate the empress and how many people want to fight against her. If we all get together, who says we can't fight against the empress?" Nangong Yao said confidently.
Pah pah pah——
Jiang Yunxi clapped his hands, an expression of admiration on his face. "Prince Jing is indeed worthy of being Prince Jing. He is both brave and resourceful. No wonder he has a daughter with the Phoenix Fate."
Go, go and bring Jiang Chenyu back.
After learning that she is a princess, she will definitely be willing to come back. I just don’t know what the Mu family’s expression will be if she leaves the capital of Tenglong Kingdom.
Nangong Yao was very pleased to hear this and became even more determined to bring Jiang Chenyu back as soon as possible, and then persuade others to rebel against the empress and let his daughter ascend the throne.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan did not stay any longer. After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, they returned to the temporary palace, and then found Eunuch Wang, saying that they wanted to go to the palace to see the empress.
Eunuch Wang had no choice but to bring them into the palace himself and hand them over to Eunuch Qi.
"Miss Jiang, the empress is not in the palace." Eunuch Qi did not hide it. The empress quietly left the palace after breakfast.
"Can I go and wait in the courtyard of the Empress's bedroom? This is about the change of ownership of Xuanyue Kingdom." Jiang Yunxi gave a good reason.
When Eunuch Qi heard this, his expression changed drastically. "I'll take you in, but you can only stay in the courtyard and cannot enter the palace."
Jiang Yunxi nodded, indicating that they would not run around.
Eunuch Qi took them to the empress's palace, arranged them in the courtyard, and asked the palace maids and nannies to serve them, and he himself stood by.
It was not to guard them, but the empress instructed that Miss Jiang should be treated as a distinguished guest.
Jiang Yunxi walked directly towards the peach tree. It had lush branches and leaves, and each peach blossom was exceptionally beautiful and lively, as if it had life.
After approaching the peach tree, she put her hand on the thick trunk and felt it carefully.
