Chapter 766 Xie Shang’s Actions
It was already the afternoon of the next day when Jiang Fenghua woke up. She had returned to Kunning Palace, looking at the familiar layout. The bedroom was quiet. She shouted outside, "Someone come!"
Hongxiu pushed the door open and came in, "My Lady, you are awake."
Jiang Fenghua asked: "Hongxiu, when did you come back?"
"Last night the Emperor sent someone to the Jiang family to pick me up and ask me to go to the palace and serve His Majesty."
Jiang Fenghua was full of doubts, "He sent someone to pick you up and take you back to the palace in the middle of the night. Is there a shortage of maids in the palace to serve me?"
Hongxiu said, "I don't know either."
Jiang Fenghua slept too long and felt dizzy. "What time is it now?"
"It's three quarters past noon. The queen has indeed slept for a long time. Lian Ye is taking the little princess for a walk outside."
Jiang Fenghua usually has a very light sleep. She slept from last night until the next afternoon. She didn't drink much last night, but she felt dizzy. She thought she was drunk. Could it be that Xie Shang had drugged her?
The next moment, she hurriedly got up and put on her shoes, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Xie Shang?"
At this time, Lin Yu and Aoxue heard the noise and walked in. Lin Yu said, "The emperor left the palace after sending you back last night. He left in a hurry. Before he left, he asked us to take good care of you and the children."
Jiang Fenghua was puzzled, "Didn't he say where he was going?"
Aoxue said: "The emperor didn't say that Lin Feng and Xiao Liu went together."
Jiang Fenghua said to himself, "Why did he drug me?"
Lin Yu said, "He drugged me, what's going on?"
Jiang Fenghua shook his head, "I don't know."
Soon, Jiang Jinyan also entered the palace. "The emperor has handed over the affairs of state to the tutors and me. Has something happened to the emperor?"
Jiang Fenghua was even more confused. What did Xie Shang mean? How could he, the king of a country, just leave like that? What on earth had happened?
Jiang Fenghua said again: "Aoxue, go and see if the Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cheng are still in the palace?"
Soon, Aoxue came back, "They are not in the palace anymore. I asked the guards and they said the emperor took them out of the palace overnight."
She guessed that Xie Shang's departure was related to them. He may have knocked her out because he didn't want her to interfere in the affairs of the royal family. In fact, she was not qualified to give him advice on how to deal with his grandmother and mother.
Xie Shang was actually very sad. His mother, grandmother, and relatives all gave him a lot of worry.
Just at this time, Nanny Wang and Nanny Xi came.
I saw Nanny Xi kneeling on the ground: "This servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua said: "Madame Xi, please stand up and speak!"
She saw that she was covered with wounds, "What happened? Who hit you?"
Nanny Xi thanked her and stood up. "It was the Queen Mother. I don't know what happened to her. Yesterday she suddenly went crazy and beat me. Recently her mental state has been getting worse and worse. She gets angry easily, as if she had epilepsy. After I was beaten by her, she had me locked up and said I was a spy and betrayed her."
"It was the Queen Mother who beat him personally." Jiang Fenghua asked.
Nanny Xi's eyes were filled with grievance. "It was the Queen Mother who did it herself. She even smashed the entire bedroom. There was another strange thing. The Queen Mother seemed to be sick. After she went crazy, she scratched her body with her nails and scratched her face to pieces."
Nanny Wang didn't know that Concubine Chang had poisoned the Empress Dowager. "The Empress Dowager used to have a bad temper and often couldn't control her emotions. Now she looks like this, I'm afraid she is really sick."
Jiang Fenghua thought to herself: It turns out that Concubine Chang poisoned the Queen Mother in order to drive her crazy and eventually hurt herself.
The Queen Mother had a bad temper when she was young. Could it be that Concubine Chang had drugged the Queen Mother at that time, but the amount was small so no one noticed that she had been poisoned a long time ago? Maybe the influence of the poison made her temper unstable. Now the poison must have entered her bone marrow and she is going crazy!
Xie Shang took the Empress Dowager away. Could it be that he wanted to use her to lure out Prince Kang? But the Emperor was not in the palace. What if Prince Kang really wanted to break into the palace and rebel?
"Brother, did Xie Shang say when he would be back? Where did he go?"
Jiang Jinyan said, "He didn't say when he would be back, nor where he would be going. He should be back soon! This time the emperor didn't let me go with him, and there were several princes accompanying him."
Jiang Fenghua paced back and forth, "He took them all away. Did he go to the imperial mausoleum where the late emperor was buried?"
"That's really possible." Jiang Jinyan added, "The Empress Dowager had always lived in the Hengyang Palace, and the late emperor also built his mausoleum in Hengyang."
"So the late emperor cared about his mother very much. It's a pity that his mother didn't have him as her son in her heart, but only her younger son, Prince Kang. Xie Shang took her to the Hengyang Imperial Mausoleum because he wanted to take her to meet the late emperor." Jiang Fenghua also guessed from Xie Shang's mood. He looked very strange when he came back from Jingzhao Prefecture last night. He must have been hurt by this group of people from the Xie family!
Jiang Jinyan said, "I will leave the palace first. If your Majesty has anything to say, please send a message."
"Okay." Jiang Fenghua personally escorted Jiang Jinyan out of Kunning Palace.
Nanny Wang found her and said, "My queen, I want to keep Nanny Xi in Kunning Palace. If the queen mother comes back, she will definitely torture her. Nanny Xi has helped me a lot in the past."
Helping Nanny Wang was helping Jiang Fenghua, and Jiang Fenghua also heard it. She said, "Nanny Wang should make arrangements first. If the Queen Mother comes back and wants to find Nanny Xi, she will definitely have to go back and continue to serve the Queen Mother..."
"Please save me, Queen. I don't want to serve the Queen Mother anymore. She really has a mental problem. If I stay by her side and serve her, I may not survive."
Nanny Xi wanted to stay by the Queen's side, just like Nanny Wang. It would be very prestigious to be a chief steward.
When Nanny Wang went to the Jiang Mansion to teach Empress Jiang, the two of them developed a master-servant relationship. After Empress Jiang entered the palace, Nanny Wang went directly to her side and became the chief steward. All the servants in Kunning Palace listened to her, and even the stewards of the entire palace listened to Nanny Wang.
Nanny Xi and Nanny Wang have always had a good relationship. Now that Nanny Wang's life is better, Nanny Xi is still suffering from the wrath of Empress Dowager Cheng. She must be unhappy.
Nanny Wang did not tell Nanny Xi about Jiang Fenghua's amnesia. Nanny Xi thought that Jiang Fenghua was unwilling to take her in, and said, "When Your Majesty dealt with Concubine Su, I also tried my best to help Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please consider..."
Before Nanny Xi could finish, Nanny Wang said hurriedly, "The matter of Concubine Su is over. Nanny Xi, please don't mention it again."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Aunt Xi's eyes, "Yes."
Jiang Fenghua already knew the purpose of Nanny Xi's visit, and she also wanted to be a housekeeper like Nanny Wang.
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Madam Xi, please stay in Kunning Palace first and take good care of your injuries. When the Queen Mother comes back, I will help you to speak. I will never let this happen again."
Nanny Xi wanted to say something, but Nanny Wang said, "Your Majesty, please be busy first. I will take Nanny Xi away first."
Jiang Fenghua said with concern: "Go ask the imperial physician to take a good look at Madam Xi."
"Yes." Nanny Wang said again.
Nanny Xi was somewhat dissatisfied. She thought that since she had helped Queen Jiang so much, Queen Jiang should promote her.
