Chapter 902 Suspecting her and Xiao Yu?
At this moment Aoxue came back in a hurry, but before she could get to Jiang Fenghua, Lin Feng and the guards also came to the alley.
Xie Shang was seen walking towards me in a black suit with steady steps. He wore a golden crown on his head, had a dignified demeanor, a firm gaze, and exuded a cold kingly aura that was intimidating.
Jiang Fenghua was stunned when Xie Shang suddenly appeared. She waited until he came closer before asking, "Why did your Majesty leave the palace?"
Xie Shang stared at Xiao Yu coldly before speaking to Jiang Fenghua, "I received a secret report that Xiao Shang had appeared in Shengjing. I was worried about the Queen's safety, so I came here in person. Ruan Ruan, are you okay?"
"This time, Xiao Shang didn't come to me." Jiang Fenghua explained, "He came to Minister Xiao."
Sooner or later, the secret guard will report Xiao Shang's search for Xiao Yu to the emperor.
Xiao Yu quickly saluted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Xie Shang asked directly, "Why is Minister Xiao in the alley with the Queen?"
Xiao Yu has not married for so many years. Every time someone mentions arranging a marriage for him, he refuses with various reasons. In fact, he still can't let go of his feelings for Jiang Fenghua!
Xiao Yu paused and quickly explained, "The eldest prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom was following me. It was only when the Empress sent guards to force them back that I was able to escape."
Jiang Fenghua felt that Xie Shang had come with bad intentions. She looked at Lin Feng calmly and saw that Lin Feng was frowning. Someone had spread the news that the Queen Mother and Minister Xiao were having a secret meeting.
They all knew that it was a fabricated story, but the emperor still came in person to take the queen back to the palace.
Jiang Fenghua also sensed Xie Shang's unhappy tone, so she deliberately said, "Hongxiu, I'm feeling a little cold. Go get me a cloak from the car."
What did Xie Shang mean by asking this? Was he suspicious of her and Xiao Yu?
Hongxiu looked up at the sky. How could the Queen feel cold in such warm sunshine? She must be cold in her heart!
Hongxiu said respectfully, "Yes, I will go right away."
Xie Shang held her hand, his fingers were warm and didn't look cold at all. He saw what Jiang Fenghua was thinking. Was she helping Xiao Yu?
Xiao Yu was even more respectful and explained, "Prince Xiao followed me because he wanted to use the Xiao family as an excuse. He has been leading me to believe that the Xiao family has a connection with the Northern Xiao Kingdom. In fact, the Xiao family really has nothing to do with the Northern Xiao Kingdom."
Xie Shang's lips curled up into a faint smile. "I trust Minister Xiao. Regardless of whether the Xiao family has any connection with the Xiao royal family of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, I believe that Minister Xiao will never betray me."
Xiao Yu did not explain any further. The emperor must have come at this time because someone had tipped him off. The emperor also happened to run into the queen with him. Could it be that the eldest prince of the Beixiao Kingdom was behind this again?
Regardless of whether the emperor believes it or not, for the sake of... he will be loyal to the emperor and the empress.
Jiang Fenghua followed Xie Shang out of the alley before asking the question in his heart: "Why did the emperor leave the palace?"
Xie Shang said, "I just said that I received a secret report."
"Who passed the secret report to Your Majesty? Why did Your Majesty come so timely?" Jiang Fenghua was ready to find out. She couldn't let the emperor plant the seeds of suspicion in his heart.
Xie Shang was stunned. "The secret guards discovered that people from the Northern Owl Kingdom were in Shengjing, and they sneaked into the Shang Mansion."
"Since this is the Shang Mansion, how did the Emperor find his way to this alley?"
Xie Shang paused, "Ruan Ruan means that there's another traitor among the secret guards?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled faintly, "Then your majesty needs to investigate carefully. You can always find out the truth by following the clues."
Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "Lin Feng."
Lin Feng stepped forward respectfully: "I am here."
"Investigate and punish anyone who dares to be a traitor severely."
Lin Feng frowned and took out the secret letter and handed it to the emperor. "Your Majesty, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly. It wasn't the secret guards who discovered the people from Beixiao Country. It seems that Prince Xiao took the initiative to expose his whereabouts. Moreover, I also received a secret letter saying that the Empress and Minister Xiao had a private meeting. It's all my fault for not explaining it clearly. Your Majesty is worried about the Empress's safety and is anxious to leave the palace."
Lin Feng was a man who would spoil things, so he took out the secret letter and handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Xie Shang glared at Lin Feng, "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Lin Feng said: "It is also because His Majesty did not give this humble servant a chance. Just when I was about to report, His Majesty left the palace in a hurry."
Seeing that the master and servant were in sync, Jiang Fenghua was too lazy to expose them. She took the secret letter and opened it to read. After reading it, she said, "Such delicate handwriting, it seems like it was written by a woman. It seems that the person who wants to report the news to the emperor is a woman!"
Xie Shang took the letter and took a look at it. "Was it written by a woman?"
Lin Feng nodded: "It seems to be written by a woman."
Jiang Fenghua continued, "Hey, why does this letter say that Minister Xiao and I have a special relationship? Were we close before I lost my memory? Were we having a secret meeting? It's so harsh! What kind of woman knows so much about our relationship? She even said that I had a secret meeting with Minister Xiao. Which eye of hers saw it? The Emperor didn't believe it, did he?"
Her eyes were clear, and she blinked as she stared at Xie Shang and asked, "Your Majesty, did Ruan Ruan have a good relationship with Minister Xiao in the past?"
Xie Shang said, "Of course it doesn't matter. Ruan Ruan didn't know Xiao Yu before."
"Oh, if that's the case, then someone is trying to spread rumors about me!" Jiang Fenghua was a little angry. "First, they spread rumors about the Emperor and the Fourth Princess, and now they're spreading rumors about me and the ministers. Are we considered a couple in need?"
Xie Shang smiled, "They really do look like a couple in need."
"Your Majesty must find out who wrote this secret letter. I, a concubine, also want to know her purpose. Could it be that this is another romantic debt that Your Majesty has caused?"
Xie Shang flicked her forehead with a finger. "Ruan Ruan, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm a decent person and I've definitely never gotten involved with any questionable women. I'm already busy with state affairs every day, so how could I have the time to mess around with any woman?"
Jiang Fenghua frowned, pretending to be angry. "I came to General Shang's mansion today to watch the ceremony. I heard a rumor that a wealthy businessman has come to Shengjing City. It is said that his daughter may enter the palace as a concubine. The reason is precisely because of the incident on the polo field that day. Your Majesty, do you remember it?"
Xie Shang pretended to have forgotten, "Who is Ruan Ruan talking about? How come I don't know."
"Forget it if you don't remember." Jiang Fenghua was too lazy to play games with him. He knew what kind of person Xie Shang was. Qin Yunyan was indeed beautiful. If the Qin family's corruption case had not been uncovered, Qin Yunyan would have had no chance to show up in front of Xie Shang. If she followed the trajectory of her previous life, it would certainly not be difficult for Qin Yunyan to seduce Xie Shang with that face.
Men are all lustful when they see beauty. They can't even walk when they see a beautiful woman. Back then, she attracted Xie Shang with her beauty, and then he slowly fell in love with her.
Jiang Fenghua guessed that the person who wrote this secret letter might be Qin Yunyan, and she wanted Xie Shang to misunderstand her relationship with Xiao Yu.
Xie Shang was also a little angry that she met Xiao Yu alone, but she resolved the situation with just a few words. Now Xie Shang felt a little guilty.
"Since the emperor has left the palace, let's go for a walk on the street together!" Jiang Fenghua suggested.
"Ruan Ruan, if you want to go shopping, I will accompany you." He glanced at her bun, which was too gorgeous. "If you want to go shopping, the Queen must change her clothes."
Jiang Fenghua looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty wants to accompany me shopping, so you should change your clothes. Your Majesty looks like my personal bodyguard."
Xie Shang had a charming smile on his lips and said, "Do you like such a handsome bodyguard, Ruan Ruan?"
Jiang Fenghua had a smile on her face, as if she and his wife were in love and sweet, "I like it. I like your Majesty no matter what he looks like."
Xie Shang paused. Jiang Fenghua in front of him looked very much like she did when they lived in Prince Heng's Mansion. He felt that her answer was a bit perfunctory.
Did she regain her memory?
Jiang Fenghua then instructed Hongxiu, "Follow me to the carriage and comb your hair into a new bun."
Xie Shang stared at Jiang Fenghua's back. Aoxue was about to follow him when Xie Shang suddenly stopped her and said in a deep voice, "Has the Queen recovered her memory?"
