Chapter 942 Seeking Skin from a Tiger
As soon as the chains on Xiao Shang were untied, he chased after Gongsun Lan and apologized: "I didn't mean to offend Miss Lanlan. It was really the lady's attire that caused me to misunderstand. I apologize to the lady here."
Gongsun Lan saw through his thoughts at a glance, "You want to ask me where the Ghost Realm is, so you pretend to be my grandson to please me. In that case, you might as well just call me grandma, and I will acknowledge you as my grandson."
Anger flashed in Xiao Shang's eyes, and his fists clenched and unclenched, and then clenched again. Finally, he swallowed the anger in his heart and smiled cautiously: "Since grandma needs a grandson, Xiao Wang will be her grandson!"
Just pretend to be a grandson. As long as she can find the ghost realm, maybe that is the ruins of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom. If he finds a way to be reborn, he can go back to the past and become the emperor.
Strictly speaking, these people in front of him were indeed very old in his eyes. Considering the time, it would not be a problem for him to be their grandson.
Gongsun Lan didn't expect him to be so shameless. She rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
Xiao Shang chased after her and called out "Grandma".
Gongsun Ling also hurriedly chased after him, "Lanlan, what do you know? Tell me!"
Jiang Fenghua and others watched from behind and found it funny and amusing. Xiao Shang was truly a man who could bend and stretch.
Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "We must find a way to break this as soon as possible. Since Lan Lan said that the red spider lily between Ruan Ruan's eyebrows came from the Ghost Realm, we must find a way out from the Ghost Realm."
Xiao Yu, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up. "The Ghost Realm is just a legend. Even if this place really existed, it doesn't mean it's the site of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom. Besides, the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom is just a legend. Miss Gongsun also said that anyone who enters the Ghost Realm is dead, which means it's extremely dangerous and no one has ever returned alive. Your Majesty, do you really want the Empress to take this risk?"
Before Xie Shang could speak, Jiang Jinyan hurriedly said, "I believe we must first address the disaster brought to the people by the flood. The court should dispatch doctors and disaster relief teams as soon as possible to treat the victims. According to the news from Prefect Zhang, the situation in the disaster area is extremely serious and urgent. Time waits for no one, and human lives are at stake."
Xie Shang pondered for a moment, "Pass on my decree. The Ministry of Revenue will take the lead in this disaster relief effort. Funds and grain will be allocated, and Minister Jiang will take charge. We will do our utmost to treat the victims in various places."
He believed that as long as there were people around, the Great Zhou would not be exploited.
Xie Shang said again: "Xiao Yu."
Xiao Yu immediately said, "I am here."
Xie Shang gave him a meaningful look. "Regarding the Ghost Realm... you will work with the Queen and the Prince of Beixiao Kingdom to handle this matter. Report to me immediately if there is any progress."
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Jiang Jinyan knew that Xiao Yu had been investigating the Beixiao Kingdom for the emperor, and even asked him to secretly investigate the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom. Now the emperor asked Xiao Yu to cooperate with Ruan Ruan. Could it be that the emperor knew Xiao Yu's feelings for Ruan Ruan?
Xie Shang was seen walking out of the prison.
Jiang Fenghua was about to catch up when Jiang Jinyan stopped him, "Ruan Ruan really believed what Xiao Shang said."
Jiang Fenghua took a deep breath, knowing that there was no turning back. "The Emperor has already believed it, so I have no choice but to believe it. I will also fully cooperate with Xiao Shang to find out the ancient country of Yinchuan and find the method of rebirth. As for who will be the successor of the Yinchuan Queen, that depends on how heaven arranges it."
Jiang Jinyan couldn't find any words to refute. How could Ruan Ruan be the descendant of the Queen of Yinchuan? Wouldn't that make her a real witch?
Xiao Shang is really the nemesis of the Jiang family!
Seeing Jiang Jinyan's worried look, Jiang Fenghua comforted him, "Don't worry, brother. I'm fine. The most important thing for you right now is to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor. There's also one matter concerning your sister-in-law."
She also didn't know whether she should tell the reason why Zhang Yumo's personality changed drastically.
When Zhang Yumo was mentioned, Jiang Jinyan was a little evasive. The Zhang Yumo that Xiao Shang mentioned just now must be referring to her! Unexpectedly, she was still in contact with the Zhang family. He said, "Let's go out first!"
Jiang Fenghua chased after him and asked, "How is your relationship going lately?"
Jiang Jinyan avoided her gaze and said, "Not bad."
"What does 'fortunately' mean? Is it good or bad?" His tone was bad.
"How is your relationship with the emperor, good or bad?" Jiang Jinyan asked.
Jiang Fenghua was a little hesitant. She didn't know what happened between him and Xie Shang. He always told her that he believed her, but she always felt that he didn't trust her. Ever since he knew that she had recovered her memory, he always deliberately avoided her.
"The Queen must be attentive to His Majesty. Besides Bai Zhiyan, there is also..." He knew that he shouldn't doubt the relationship between Gongsun Lan and the Emperor, but the Emperor's trust in Gongsun Lan exceeded that in Ruan Ruan.
He knew that once there was no trust between husband and wife, it would be really dangerous. Ruan Ruan's beauty was naturally impeccable, but no matter how beautiful a face was, there would always be a day when people would get disgusted with it, not to mention that her husband was the emperor.
The emperor can have any kind of woman he wants.
What does Gongsun Lan look like? Judging from her figure, she is definitely not as pretty as Ruan Ruan, but a man doesn't just look at appearance.
Jiang Jinyan didn't say these words out loud, but Jiang Fenghua could understand them. They had already formed a tacit understanding where they could communicate with just eye contact.
Xiao Yu walked while listening to them discussing their feelings. He walked silently. Even after he came out of the sky prison, the rain did not stop. He stared at Queen Jiang's wet feet in a daze.
The emperor followed Gongsun Lan's footsteps closely, as if he had forgotten that his wife was behind him.
Jiang Jinyan said, "In such deep water, I'll carry you on my back, just like when we were little."
"This is in the palace, and I'm the queen now. How can you still carry me on your back?"
"No matter what, I'm your elder brother. It's only natural for an elder brother to carry his younger sister on his back. The road to the prison is narrow, and cars can't get in..."
"You're the eldest brother, and you're also a man. Even if it's against the rules, you still have to be tactful and polite. I'll go by myself. Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer, so even if I get wet, I won't be cold."
She deliberately raised her voice when speaking this sentence, hoping that Xiao Yu could understand. Xie Shang was already a little unhappy because he had just spoken for her.
If she hadn't dreamed of what Xiao Yu did for her in her previous life, she might not have cared about it. But now she just wanted him to remember that she was the queen of the Great Zhou, the emperor's woman. She would no longer live a hard life like in her previous life, and it was even more impossible for her to be harmed by others. He should have his own life.
Jiang Jinyan tried his best to cover her body, and Hongxiu and Aoxue also protected her on both sides, so that Jiang Fenghua did not get wet in the rain too much.
Jiang Jinyan continued, "Who knows how long this rain will last. Shengjing City is almost filled with rainwater. The government has been recruiting people to drain the water..."
Despite the loud noise of the rain, he could still hear the voices of Jiang Jinyan and Jiang Fenghua. He frowned slightly as if he understood what she meant.
He had just blurted it out, thinking that Prince Xiao's intentions were not pure to begin with. The Emperor and Empress were collaborating with Xiao Shang, which was simply courting disaster. He was just wondering if he would harm the Empress in the future...
