Chapter 1068 Xie Ling'er Reaps What She Sows
Jiang Fenghua asked doubtfully, "Are you so sure that the Great Zhou will definitely lose this battle?"
Xiao Shang said calmly, "During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong Xie Shang, he fought no less than a hundred battles, large and small. The only one he never won against was the Northern Xiao Kingdom. I have studied every battle of Emperor Xuanzong and I know his tactics like the back of my hand."
“During this period, the Northern Xiao Kingdom did not invade the Central Plains.” Jiang Fenghua said calmly, “Prince Xiao speaks very strangely. You know about every battle my husband fought. He has only been on the throne for three years. How did you study this?”
Xiao Shang said, "Anyway, I know."
Jiang Fenghua laughed and said, "Prince Xiao, just watch! See how the Great Zhou defeats the iron cavalry of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, and the Northern Xiao Kingdom will never be able to set foot on the land of the Central Plains again."
After saying that, she didn't say much more to Xiao Shang. She was about to return to the palace, and Xiao Shang would probably never be able to return to Bei Xiao Kingdom in his lifetime.
Soon Xie Shang and Ge Ming brought Yan Dinghai back. At this time, Yan Dinghai had become a ghost, his tongue was gone, his eyes were blind, and his hands and feet were crippled.
Jiang Fenghua never expected that Xie Shang would spare his life.
She only learned later that the real reason Xie Shang didn't kill Yan Dinghai directly was related to Xie Ling'er.
Xie Ling'er was ruthless enough to cast a life-and-death curse on herself.
Next, Xie Shang had Xie Ling'er meet with Yan Dinghai alone. Jiang Fenghua didn't know what they talked about, but she guessed it was related to Gu poison.
Xie Shang still felt sorry for his younger sister and wanted her to live.
However, Xie Ling'er herself was not strong enough. A few days later, her neck and face began to fester, which was probably due to being poisoned by a Gu. Xie Shang has now completely imprisoned her.
Xie Ling'er was still unwilling to give up. Even after the Gu worms she raised were burned, she continued to use her own blood to raise them. She was practically obsessed.
Hongxiu brought her food, and when she came back and talked about the Ninth Princess's appearance, she couldn't help but tremble. In the end, she could only say, "The Ninth Princess's face is ruined."
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Is the reason she still has the 'Life and Death Gu' poison in her body?"
Gongsun Lan was also ordered to treat Xie Ling'er. She was good at making poisons, but not good at making Gu poison. She explained, "The Gu poison that the Ninth Princess put on Yan Dinghai may have failed, or she may have just scared Yan Dinghai. They were not actually poisoned by the Tong Sheng Tong Si Gu."
After hearing this, Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion, "So there is no such thing as a Gu poison that allows you to live and die together. Xie Ling'er almost went crazy trying to make the Gu poison, and in the end she failed and ended up looking like that."
"Sigh! That's right, she's a perfectly good princess, but she just had to make things difficult for herself." Gongsun Lan sighed.
Hongxiu said, "The Ninth Princess brought this upon herself. The Emperor has been more than kind to her, yet she still made a scene."
Jiang Fenghua remembered that in her previous life, Xie Ling'er was spoiled rotten by Consort Su and Xie Shang. The most pitiful one was the husband who married her, who was tormented by her and eventually committed suicide.
She wouldn't go out and harm others now that she's become like this.
On the other side, Aoxue and Shangguan Li also returned empty-handed that day. She did not kill Yan Jue because Yan Jue was rescued by a masked man in black.
She told Jiang Fenghua about this, and said, "Mr. Ge told me not to avenge Ye Ying anymore. I really don't understand. Mr. Ge was Ye Ying's father and teacher. Now that Ye Ying is dead, doesn't he want to avenge him? The enemy is right in front of them, yet they let him go. Mr. Ge wasn't like this before."
Jiang Fenghua couldn't bear to reveal that Ye Ying was not dead, and she couldn't understand why Ye Ying was unwilling to show himself.
"Perhaps Night Shadow doesn't want you to avenge him, and Mr. Ge has his reasons for not letting you take revenge."
"But that person is Nightshade, our family. He can't die like this, without any explanation."
Jiang Fenghua said, "The person who killed him was his own brother. With Yan Jue dead, the Zhou family will truly be without anyone. Perhaps Mr. Ge has this in mind."
Ao Xue was even more unwilling: "The person who killed Ye Ying was his own brother. God is too unfair to Ye Ying. The person who caused all this is Yan Dinghai, the culprit."
From this moment on, she will make Yan Dinghai wish he were dead.
The war in the Northwest had spiraled out of control, and in the end, Xie Shang went to the Northwest with Mr. Ge and others.
Jiang Fenghua then led the others to prepare to return to Shengjing.
That day, Zhang Yumo found Jiang Fenghua again, and saw that her eyes were red and she looked aggrieved.
Jiang Fenghua had also heard that Jiang Jinyan and Zhang Yumo did not get along well, so she could not ask Jiang Jinyan to act as a peacemaker for them again. Besides, Jiang Jinyan was currently so busy with the war in the Northwest that she could hardly see him all day.
She said, "The battle at the front is urgent, and my elder brother is very busy. There's no use in you crying and wailing here."
Zhang Yumo felt wronged. "He's been so cold to me these past few days. I want a divorce."
Jiang Fenghua paused when she heard the words "divorce".
After a moment, she said, "Have you thought it through? My brother has only neglected you because he's busy with official duties."
“No.” Zhang Yumo raised her voice: “He has someone else in his heart.”
Jiang Fenghua, exasperated, blurted out, "Who?"
“Sang Yu Pianpian is the female ruler of Chaoxi Kingdom.” Zhang Yumo said the words Jiang Jinyan had called out “Pianpian” in his dream in the middle of the night.
Even though Jiang Jinyan slept in the same bed with her, he didn't touch her.
Jiang Fenghua didn't know how to defend Jiang Jinyan. This was Zhang Yumo's own doing that had backfired. She said, "If you want a divorce, wait until we get back to Shengjing. Right now, let your brother focus on fighting the war!"
Zhang Yumo wiped away the tears on her cheeks a couple more times and left.
After Xie Shang and Ge Xiang left, all the responsibilities fell on the shoulders of the Empress. For example, Xie Ling'er was causing trouble again, and the soldiers had no choice but to catch some insects for her to keep her entertained in order to calm her down.
Xie Ling'er, having contracted the worm, only wanted to make Gu poison, and she calmed down, allowing the guards to sleep peacefully.
When Jiang Fenghua found out, she didn't say much and just turned a blind eye.
Xiao Shang frequently found various excuses to see Empress Jiang, but after a while, Jiang Fenghua stopped seeing him.
Two months later, they returned to Yuzhou. Jiang Fenghua made a special trip back to the Feng family to see Old Master Feng. She wanted to confirm whether Old Master Feng had been to Xichuan. The answer she received was as she expected: Old Master Feng had been to Xichuan but had not encountered anything strange, and he did not remember that there were skulls everywhere in Xichuan.
Feng Qingyu and Gongsun Lan were inseparable the whole way. When they returned to the Feng family, they immediately told each other about their upcoming marriage.
Old Master Feng stroked his beard, eager for his youngest son to get married, but his son just wouldn't agree. He looked at the girl in front of him, wondering why Xiao Jiu had taken a liking to her.
When the Feng family heard that Xiao Jiu had brought back a wife, they all came to watch. Gongsun Lan had grown up in the Shenyin Camp and had seen all kinds of situations, so she was quite adept at dealing with the Feng family.
When she had a moment to herself, she found Jiang Fenghua, panting heavily. “Your Majesty’s maternal grandparents’ house is so lively. When Aqing and I got married, they all came to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber. I’m afraid three days and three nights wouldn’t have been enough for them to keep up with the fun.”
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "The Feng family is very hospitable. Auntie, don't be scared away."
When Gongsun Lan heard Jiang Fenghua directly call her "little aunt," she accepted it without hesitation.
After the great disaster in Yuzhou, the Feng family did their best to help the people. The Feng family had many members, but they also contributed a lot. So when Feng Qingyu got married, the entire Feng Family Escort Agency was almost deserted and bustling with activity.
