Chapter 1049 A Happy Ending
Jiang Fenghua then checked Xie Shang's body. When she lifted the collar of his shirt, she found that the wounds had completely disappeared, as if he had never been seriously injured and on the verge of death by Danji Mai.
Everyone looked at her, asking with concern, "Is Your Highness having another dream?"
She shook Xie Shang awake, and once he was fully awake, she asked, "Did Your Majesty have the same dream as me? We're back, and everything has changed."
Xie Shang clutched his chest, which was unharmed. After a moment of thought, he got up from the bed, sat steadily, glanced at the people around him, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what happened and why I fell into a deep sleep."
He had already guessed why: Baili Shang and Danji Aruan had changed things from a thousand years ago. The Danji Mai and Ashina clans might have been wiped out a thousand years ago, so there would have been no later events.
Shangguan Li said, "Her Majesty went to Yuzhou for disaster relief with Lord Jiang, and then disappeared. Finally, her whereabouts were found in Hongfeng City. Your Majesty accompanied His Majesty out of the palace to search for Her Majesty. His Majesty was surrounded and chased by the people of Beixiao Kingdom and was injured. We met Her Majesty and Lord Jiang. Strangely, I can't remember what happened in between."
Everyone has forgotten what happened in the Xichuan underground palace; it's as if a part of their memory has disappeared, and no one can explain it clearly.
Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua heard Baili Shang's voice, "Fifth Master, I'll escort you here. Although Yinchuan Kingdom was swallowed up by natural disasters, not all the people of Yinchuan Kingdom were wiped out. They went to the Central Plains and started a new life. Aruan and I stayed in Xichuan. I never thought that the Baili family's underground palace would become our burial place."
The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Fenghua asked Lin Yu and the others, "Did you hear anyone talking?"
Lin Yu shook her head. "No one spoke! Did anyone speak just now?"
Shangguan Li said, "Indeed, no one spoke. Is Your Majesty hallucinating?"
Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang were now fully awake, and they no longer had the chance to say goodbye to Baili Shang.
Xie Shang cupped her face in his hands, "The curse between your brows has also disappeared."
Jiang Fenghua said, "It won't grow back this time, will it?"
She lifted Zhang Yumo's wrist, but there was no other spell. Zhang Yumo asked, "What is Your Majesty looking for? What happened to my wrist?"
Jiang Fenghua didn't say much. She didn't know if the Zhang Yumo in front of her was reborn, or even if she still harbored hatred towards Jiang Jinyan. She even guessed that Danjimai had already taken over Zhang Yumo's body, and that the Zhang Yumo in front of her was Danjimai.
However, Zhang Yumo's body did not smell of decay, her body temperature was even normal, and there were no signs of tearing on her head or body.
Seeing that she was being examined from head to toe, Zhang Yumo smiled awkwardly and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Jiang Fenghua has now seen through Zhang Yumo's true colors. She doesn't want her to die because she doesn't want Jiang Ruochu to be without a mother, but at the same time, she doesn't want her to return to the Jiang family. She is conflicted about how she treats Zhang Yumo.
She could tell from her eyes that the Zhang Yumo in front of her was not the Zhang Yumo who deeply loved Jiang Jinyan, but the reborn Zhang Yumo. Deep down, she would still help the Zhang family regain its footing.
She said calmly, "It's nothing."
Xie Shang said to Jiang Jinyan, "Go and find the city lord of Red Maple City, tell him my true identity, and then ask him to find some historical records about Xichuan and Red Maple City. See if he can find any books about the history of Yinchuan Kingdom."
Although Jiang Jinyan was puzzled, he immediately went to do it.
Xie Shang dismissed everyone before speaking to Jiang Fenghua, saying, "It seems that everything has really changed."
Jiang Fenghua said, "The underground palace in Xichuan hasn't changed. It's the ancestral home of the Baili family. Baili Shang and Danji Aruan eventually returned to Licheng and the Baili family. They placed their tombs in the underground palace, which must be to convey some kind of message to us. Let's go to the underground palace again!"
A thousand years have passed. A thousand years ago, the Yinchuan Kingdom suffered an unprecedented natural disaster. He was afraid that the underground palace had long since collapsed or even been destroyed by later generations.
Soon, Long Aotian, the city lord of Red Maple City, arrived. His Long family had guarded Red Maple City for generations, and the history of the city was well known.
Upon seeing the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Long Aotian was somewhat flattered. "Long Aotian, the City Lord of Red Maple City, greets Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor..."
"Lord Long, there's no need for such formalities. I've come here incognito today and am very pleased to see the people living such peaceful and comfortable lives. This is all thanks to you, Lord Long!"
Red Maple City is located on the border between the Great Zhou and Xichuan. Their lifestyle is almost identical to that of the Yuezhi people, the indigenous people of the Northwest. They are not under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou, and at the same time, they have signed a non-interference agreement with the Great Zhou.
Xie Shang didn't waste any words and directly asked Jiang Jinyan about the situation. Jiang Jinyan quickly replied, "The Long City Lord's family has some records about Xichuan. They have lived in Red Maple City for generations."
"Send it up."
When Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua were looking through a history book of Xichuan written on hemp cloth, they found the origin of "Xichuan" and even saw some records about Licheng and Yinchuan Kingdom.
After being swallowed by a natural disaster, the Kingdom of Yinchuan was renamed Xichuan. Before the disaster, the king dismissed the people of the kingdom, driving them all out of Yinchuan. It wasn't until the disaster struck that the people understood the king's good intentions.
Now they realized that after defeating Lady A Li, Baili Shang used the Baili family's power in Licheng to seize the throne of Yinchuan Kingdom. He even built the royal city in Licheng, with the Baili family as the royal palace. However, Baili Shang did not leave any descendants.
Everyone fled except the king. There was no record of Danji Aruan, so they guessed that Danji Aruan had probably died in the Ashina tribe's palace.
Danji Aruan is dead. She should have been reincarnated long ago!
The rebirth secrets of the Ashina tribe in Yinchuan Kingdom are not mentioned at all in historical records, and even the name Ashina tribe is not mentioned. Only the great achievements of King Baili Shang are recorded.
Jiang Fenghua said, "If we follow the records in the book, the people of Yinchuan were driven out of Yinchuan at that time, and their descendants may have become the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, or there may be descendants of the people of Yinchuan in Red Maple City."
Xie Shang said, "Even in other places, such as the northwest and border regions, there are descendants of the Yinchuan Kingdom everywhere."
“Originally, they should have all become wronged souls in Xichuan, but now they have all survived, which is the result that Baili Shang wanted to see.” Jiang Fenghua was also very happy with this outcome.
She added, "Let's go to Xichuan to pay our respects to them! No matter what, this is the best outcome."
Xie Shang did not object. He also missed the journey in his dream. The experience of sharing a body with Baili Shang was something he could never forget. He should go and see Baili Shang.
Seeing that everyone was there, Jiang Fenghua asked, "Why don't I see Xiao Shang? Has he returned?"
Jiang Jinyan said, "It was he who led the sneak attack and injured the Emperor. The Northern Xiao Kingdom has already shown its fangs, and the Great Zhou may have to prepare for war."
