Chapter 875 She Knows Consort Song's Secret
Xie Shang's desires completely subsided. "Anything else?"
"Flags with whale-patterned totems are planted all over Shengjing City, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Owl Kingdom have stepped onto the land of the Great Zhou..." She and Xie Shang were husband and wife, one and the same, and she had to talk to him about these things.
He could no longer simply treat Jiang Fenghua's dream as just a dream, after all, she was someone who had truly lived a second life. He only knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty had perished, but he did not know who had destroyed it. Heaven had not given him such a warning, yet Jiang Fenghua had dreamt of it again.
Both of them harbored their own thoughts, refusing to mention that Jiang Fenghua, who had died in the past, was actually already dead. Neither of them spoke of how she died or how she was bullied; they simply talked about the things in their dreams.
Jiang Fenghua deliberately said, "It's pretty silly to believe in a dream!"
Xie Shang stared into her eyes and asked, "You also saw the Northern King in your dream. Is he Xiao Shang?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, "I vaguely remember this name appearing in my dream. He doesn't look exactly like Xiao Shang, but they do resemble each other somewhat. Actually, I'm not sure if the Northern Prince in my dream and Xiao Shang are the same person. I was actually bluffing him, but judging from his expression just now, it seems like I succeeded. His face changed, and even the Emperor saw it!"
Xie Shang's expression was solemn; he couldn't laugh. It turned out that the Northern Xiao Kingdom had destroyed the Great Zhou. If the Northern King and Xiao Shang were really the same person, then it was too bizarre.
"Ruan Ruan, you've heard those rumors from the common people, haven't you?" Xie Shang asked her directly.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Since they are all rumors, why should Your Majesty care? Anyone with eyes can see that this matter was deliberately manipulated by someone."
"I have already learned about the rumors about the Queen of Yinchuan from Xiao Yu..." He even unconsciously thought of the mark between Jiang Fenghua's eyebrows, which really felt like a phoenix rising from the ashes. If the rumors continued, she would be the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan who could change the world's ruler.
However, Master Wu had also calculated the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After his father's death, he appeared in his dream to remind him that Jiang Fenghua was the one who could save the Great Zhou Dynasty, not the one who wanted to seize the throne.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fenghua felt a little nervous. No matter what, she didn't want Xie Shang to be suspicious of her, otherwise they couldn't be of one mind. If they weren't of one mind, her future path in the palace would be difficult, which was not her intention.
Xie Shang grasped her hand and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps Xiao Shang has other purposes. Why would he spread these rumors? Ruan Ruan, let's think about it another way."
"Suppose... I mean, if you really are the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan, perhaps you can save the people of Great Zhou. Heaven has made us all dream of things that might happen in the future. Isn't this Heaven wanting to give us another chance to save Great Zhou and its people? Although it won't happen for decades, the Northern King has returned from decades in the future. What if he kills them before then?"
He has only now realized how badly he has treated Jiang Fenghua, so he is now determined to treat her even better.
Looking back now, his suspicions seem rather ridiculous. The Jiang family's power was given to him by him, and he could even take it back at any time.
Jiang Fenghua also fell into deep thought, and the couple talked things out for the first time.
Just then, Lin Feng sent someone to report: "Your Majesty, something has happened at the stadium."
Xie Shang asked, "What happened?"
"Consort Song fell off her horse while playing polo, and..."
Xie Shang said coldly, "Speak."
"And Princess Consort Kang is also searching everywhere for the Emperor. Your Majesty, please go and see her!"
"..." Xie Shang was stunned.
-
Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang arrived at the polo field, only to find that the match had already ended. The imperial physician was treating Consort Song, who had broken her leg and dislocated her arm. There was also blood on her body, as if she had been injured.
After Jiang Fenghua found out what happened, she learned that Song Qing and Bai Zhiyan had made a bet to steal the ball. At the time, the battle on the court was so intense that no one could see what was going on clearly.
Jiang Fenghua asked around and learned from those who witnessed it that Bai Zhiyan's cue stick had hit Song Qing's horse in the belly, causing the horse to run wildly in pain and ultimately throwing Song Qing off.
She thought to herself, "She's lucky she didn't die from the fall. Since you can't hit her with one blow, don't make a move lightly, otherwise you'll only end up getting hurt."
Seeing that the Emperor and Empress had arrived, Song Qing dared not cry out in pain anymore. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this concubine..."
Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "There's no need for further words. It's more important to recover from your injuries."
Song Qing cried uncontrollably, heartbroken. She had been deliberately framed by Bai Zhiyan. Bai Zhiyan wanted to seduce the Emperor, thinking she could succeed with her looks, especially since the Empress was still alive.
But why does Bai Zhiyan look so familiar?
Bai Zhiyan was completely unharmed, and her performance on the field just now drew praise.
She was far inferior to the Empress, but compared to other women, her appearance was indeed memorable.
When she saw the Emperor, she still tried her best to exude her charm, saying, "It's all Zhiyan's fault that Consort Shu fell off her horse. Zhiyan feels very guilty."
Song Qing bit her lip, wanting to get angry, but with so many people around, if she cried and made a scene, she would only be losing face for Consort Shu. She had originally come here to make a name for herself, but she never expected to lose so much face.
Gao Qingtong and the others stood guard to the side. She didn't say a word. Song Qing was just asking for trouble. With so many people around today, she insisted on showing off.
Xie Shang frowned, looking at the women in front of him with a headache. He looked at Jiang Fenghua.
Jiang Fenghua didn't want to get involved at first, but the next moment, she asked, "Imperial Physician Wang, is Consort Shu alright?"
Physician Wang said, "No vital organs were injured, but it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Your Majesty's leg may need more than three months of rest to allow the bone to heal. Fortunately, your arm was only dislocated, and I have already set the bone for you. Now you need to rest and recuperate."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Did Consort Song hear that?"
"Yes." Song Qing looked at the Emperor with a wronged expression.
Jiang Fenghua then said, "Let's send Consort Shu back to the palace. With such serious injuries, Consort Shu shouldn't participate in the upcoming activities!"
Song Qing wanted to support her family, but the event had only just begun, and she hadn't yet had the chance to introduce the Song family to the Emperor.
She didn't want to leave.
Jiang Fenghua knew what she was thinking. She wanted to change the Song family's status. Some things are the more you try to force them, the less you can hold onto them. If the Song family really had the ability, they wouldn't have accomplished nothing. The Emperor was just promoting and winning over Peng Fei, which allowed Song Qing to slip into the palace.
If she doesn't learn to behave herself, her good days in the palace will be over.
Bai Zhiyan secretly glanced in the direction of the Emperor, when Jiang Fenghua suddenly stood in front of her: "Miss Bai, do you have a grudge against Consort Shu?"
Bai Zhiyan quickly said, "This is the first time I've met Consort Shu. How could I possibly have a grudge against her? Your Highness must have misunderstood."
She had actually met Consort Song. Consort Song was just pretending to be aloof; a truly aloof person would never do such a thing.
She knew Consort Song's secret.
