Chapter 903: He’ll know once he knows!
Aoxue was stunned and blurted out, "Ah! Really?"
She was puzzled, why was the emperor so popular?
Xie Shang's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he said in a cold voice, "What's true or false? Don't you even know? Or is there something you don't want to tell me?"
Aoxue bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I mean, has Your Majesty truly recovered her memory? I truly don't know. What do I want to tell Your Majesty?"
She was also completely confused. Why was the emperor so suspicious? The empress had done nothing. Why did he think that the empress had recovered her memory?
Did the Queen really recover her memory?
"Why weren't you protecting the Queen just now? Where did you go?" Xie Shang asked.
Aoxue then remembered, "I went after Prince Xiao and found one of their hideouts, an inn. I also spotted that street stalker named Xing Yun, but the Queen said we shouldn't alert the enemy, so I didn't go in."
Xie Shang had his own plans for the people of Beixiao Country. He found that he could plan against anyone except Jiang Fenghua, because she was too cautious and smart.
He asked, "Is there any news about your master?"
Aoxue nodded, "There's news. Master went to the Snow Mountain. She sent a message back. We should be able to contact her soon. Master, please come back soon! Does the Emperor want to ask about the antidote to the Guining Pill?"
Xie Shang asked again, "Does the Queen know about this?"
Aoxue said: "I haven't had time to report to Her Majesty yet."
"Don't tell her for now, lest she worry. Wait until your master comes back and personally diagnoses the Queen!" He added, "Mr. Gongsun said that Ruan Ruan's amnesia may have worsened, directly affecting her health. The flower ornament on her brow may be some kind of toxin. I don't want her to worry."
Aoxue was stunned and cupped his hands: "I understand." The Queen didn't seem to be worried at all!
Xie Shang also followed Jiang Fenghua. He has been busy investigating the Disha Sect recently. The Disha Sect is actually a martial arts sect that obeys Xiao Shang's orders. It is better to say that it is a soldier of the Beixiao Kingdom hidden in the Great Zhou. There are people from the Great Zhou and the Beixiao Kingdom.
He has been busy dealing with state affairs recently and has not relaxed for a moment.
Aoxue also fell into deep thought. Did the Queen really recover her memory? But she had clearly lost her memory after taking the Guining Pills. How could she recover her memory without taking the antidote?
She has been away all the time and only came back recently. Hongxiu and Lianye didn't seem to say that the queen had recovered her memory!
Jiang Fenghua changed into an ordinary dress. Her simple bun was devoid of a single pearl hairpin, and the flower ornament on her forehead was concealed by a veil. She smiled at Xie Shang and said, "No one will recognize me if I go out like this, right? Do I look good like this?"
Xie Shang scratched her nose lovingly and praised her, "My Ruan Ruan is the most beautiful woman no matter what."
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly. She was confident in her appearance and said, "I will accompany the emperor on a private visit."
Xie Shang rarely relaxed and readily agreed, "Okay, I want to go to Jishan Hall and take a look."
Jiang Fenghua's heart trembled, "If the emperor wants to go to Jishan Hall, let's go!"
Xie Shang calmly took her hand and led her into the carriage.
Jiang Fenghua glanced at Aoxue secretly, and saw that Aoxue's eyes were full of confusion, and even the look in her eyes became anxious.
She thought to herself: Xie Shang stopped Aoxue and asked her some questions just now. She and Hongxiu saw it when they left. It seemed that Xie Shang was really suspicious. Not only Xie Shang, but everyone around her actually had this feeling. She knew that the fact that she had recovered her memory would be revealed sooner or later.
They went to Jishan Hall and met Luo Ziqiong again.
In addition to running her shop, Luo Ziqiong also went to Jishan Hall to help out. She liked children, but she couldn't have children herself, so the children in Jishan Hall seemed to have become her spiritual sustenance.
Xie Shang suddenly said, "Princess Qingping has really changed now. When did Ruan Ruan become so close to her?"
Jiang Fenghua stared at Luo Ziqiong, who was constantly moving among the children in the distance, and said lightly, "She can be considered a new student."
She did not ask who the Princess of Qingping was, but directly admitted that she had recovered her memory.
Xie Shang's eyes flashed with something strange, "Ruan Ruan, you..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Fenghua suddenly walked towards Luo Ziqiong and heard her say softly, "Ziqiong, you are so busy every day and still come to Jishan Hall to teach the children to read and write. It's really hard work!"
"I don't feel tired. I feel my life is very fulfilling. Thanks to them accompanying me, I can live such a happy life. I really want to thank you for agreeing to help me in Jishan Hall. I didn't expect that I would really get used to this kind of life. This place is like my home. You may not remember Jishan Hall. You once said that this place is like your home. You feel at peace only when you come here."
Jiang Fenghua listened quietly to her voice as warm as the spring breeze, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and the children also liked to hang around her. Some of the children who had been in Jishan Hall since childhood have now grown up.
Jiang Fenghua did not avoid their questions and called out their names easily.
Xie Shang watched quietly. He stayed with Jiang Fenghua in Jishan Hall the whole afternoon.
It was only later that he found out that Jishan Hall was originally established by her and Tan Wanqing. They deceived him and made up one reason after another to push Jishan Hall in front of him. He was furious at the time, but now Tan Wanqing brought people to follow Jiang Zhiqin to guard the national border for him. Every time the Great Zhou was in need or in trouble, the women in Jishan Hall could help.
He knew that all of this was ordered by Jiang Fenghua.
Xie Shang did not expose Jiang Fenghua, and Jiang Fenghua did not take the initiative to mention her memory recovery. He just walked towards her and said softly, "Ruan Ruan, it's getting dark. Let's go back to the palace first."
Jiang Fenghua and Tan Wanqing said goodbye before following Xie Shang into the carriage.
Not knowing how far the carriage had traveled, Jiang Fenghua lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling streets, listening to the lively hawking outside. As night fell, Shengjing City was more lively at night than during the day. She must not let Shengjing become like in her dream.
Xie Shang looked out along the car window curtains and said, "Want to get off the car and take a walk?"
Jiang Fenghua's eyes were clear, "It's too late, let's first..."
Xie Shang said to the driver, "Stop the car."
The carriage came to a steady stop by the Baihua Lake. Xie Shang stepped out before her and held out his hand to her. "The streets are so bustling. What festival is it today? I'll accompany you for a stroll."
Jiang Fenghua suddenly felt her face blush and her heart beating fast. She rarely saw Xie Shang like this. Even when they were married, he was a serious and noble prince. He never bowed to her, let alone tried to make her happy unless she tried very hard.
Now that he knows, he knows!
