Chapter 1048 The Dream Ends, Everything Has Changed
Jiang Fenghua verbally agreed to Danji Mai's request. After entering the palace, Danji Mai continued to develop new medicines every day, just like the other doctors in the palace. All the doctors who came to the palace to participate in the medical skills competition were retained. Everyone was very enthusiastic about working for the Queen. However, Danji Mai did not think that way. His only goal was the secret formula for the resurrection medicine.
Danji Mai knew that what Lord Baili had stolen was not the real secret recipe, because Baili Ayu had become a monster that was neither human nor ghost.
She knew that Danjimai would eventually be unable to resist taking action.
A few days later, one night, Danji Mai couldn't find Danji Aruan, so he tried to sneak off to Jingyuan on his own, but he was quickly caught by the palace guards.
She asked the guard, "What is he doing going to Jingyuan so late at night?"
The guard said, "He said he was going to see the madam, but the madam did not see him. The madam sent me to invite the second princess. The madam said she would hand Danjimai over to the second princess for disposal."
Jiang Fenghua took all sorts of poisons from the pharmacy, intending to give them to Danjimai to try.
When Danjimai saw her, he thought he had seen a savior: "Aruan, you've come. Quickly untie your father."
“Go and tell Madam that I am A-Ruo’s husband, and that I have come to Jingyuan simply to see an old friend,” Danji Mai added.
Jiang Fenghua showed no intention of untying him, and said to the guards, "Danjimai dared to plot against the madam, you know what to do!"
She handed a bunch of medicine bottles to the guards, saying, "No matter what, he is my father, but I can't go against the lady's wishes. I'll trouble you, guards, to help me. You can dismember his legs or arms as you see fit. These are painkillers; give him some first!"
The guard was speechless. The lady meant that the Second Princess should handle the matter. Even if he was to be released, it would be up to the Second Princess. Did the Second Princess mean to torture him?
The guards recognized the medicine bottles; the palace pharmacy wouldn't produce painkillers, only poisons to control people's minds.
Danji Mai was shocked when he heard this. "Aruan, how could you do this to me? I'm your father!"
Seeing that the guards were unwilling to do anything, Jiang Fenghua grabbed Danji Mai by the throat and poured several bottles of poison into his throat. "Father is a doctor, he should know what these things are!"
He wanted to vomit, but there was no chance. Jiang Fenghua picked up the teapot and poured water into his throat until he swallowed all the medicine in his throat.
Danji Mai emphasized again: "Aruan, I am your father!"
"The day you killed A'Ruo and married Mu Qirou, you were no longer A'Ruan's father." A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
However, the next second Jiang Fenghua felt her body lighten, and she saw Danji Aruan grab Danji Mai's neck. "Father, I hate you."
It was only then that Jiang Fenghua truly met Danji Aruan, and she discovered that she, like Xie Shang, had been suddenly expelled from her body.
Afraid of disappearing, she hurriedly cried out, "Aruan, you must not believe what Danjimai and Lady Ali said. There is still time. You must leave the palace with Baili Shang and go to the Central Plains. Do not return to Yinchuan."
Danji Aruan snatched the knife from the guard and plunged it into Danji Mai's chest. She said to the void, "Thank you. I will not let Danji Mai go back to Xichuan. I will drag him down to hell with me. This is our retribution, and we must pay for it."
When Jiang Fenghua heard the words "Xichuan", she was stunned. "You've been to Xichuan. Is Aruan you?"
Danji Aruan said to Jiang Fenghua, "Madam Ali is after my appearance. Since that's the case, I can't let her have her way. As long as she no longer needs my appearance, she won't use me anymore."
Jiang Fenghua said, "You must disfigure yourself."
"This is the only way, but not now. I want to drag Madam A-Li down with me to hell." Danji A-Ruan's eyes were as cold as a deep abyss.
Jiang Fenghua now realizes that Aruan was never a female ruler; rather, Lady Ali coveted her appearance and took her for herself. The evil deeds they committed in Yinchuan Kingdom had nothing to do with Danji Aruan.
Xie Shang's voice came, "Ruan Ruan, hurry up, that brat Baili Shang is planning to burn the palace to the ground."
Jiang Fenghua said, "You can see me now; we've become ourselves again."
Xie Shang said, "I suspect that Danji Aruan and Baili Shang already know what will happen in the future, and they may now want to destroy the palace directly."
After killing Danji Aruan, she left the dungeon and headed straight for Lady Ali's palace.
Just then, an explosion rang out in the palace, and someone shouted, "Fire! Help put out the fire!"
While everyone was still dreaming, the palace before them was instantly engulfed in flames, the fire soaring into the sky and consuming the entire palace.
Xie Shang said, "Baili Shang actually has quite a bit of influence in private. He must be starting a rebellion! Whether Yinchuan Kingdom can be saved depends entirely on him. We can't help them."
Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion, "Where did you go with him these past few days?"
Xie Shang briefly recounted Baili Shang's events outside the palace, and then added, "His ability to escape unscathed from the disaster in Yinchuan was due to his keen sense of smell and his strategic planning. After the Ashina tribe wiped out the Baili clan, he fled Yinchuan and went to the Central Plains."
Jiang Fenghua said, "I saw Danji Aruan. A thousand years ago, she did not become the queen. It was Lady Ali who took over Aruan's body and committed those heinous crimes. Aruan was a victim from beginning to end. She killed her father and even wanted to perish together with Lady Ali."
Jiang Fenghua really wanted Aruan and Baili Shang to escape the palace and leave Yinchuan, ignoring all the troubles here. All the major families wanted the rebirth technique, so let them fight it out like dogs!
But the people of Yinchuan are innocent; even after they leave, they will become their guinea pigs in turn.
Just then, a burst of firelight struck, and Jiang Fenghua instinctively covered her face. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in reality.
She actually slept by Xie Shang's bedside.
Hongxiu walked to her side and asked with concern, "Your Majesty has woken up."
Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion, "Hongxiu? Didn't you leave Xichuan? Why are you back?"
Lin Yu also followed Hongxiu's side, saying, "If Hongxiu hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you went to Xichuan to search for the Ghost Realm."
Since the natural disaster struck Yuzhou, Lin Yu went out of the capital to help gather supplies. Jiang Fenghua left the capital without informing Lin Yu, not wanting her to worry.
What puzzled Jiang Fenghua even more was that she saw Zhang Yumo safe and sound. She asked, "How did you escape from Danjimai's clutches?"
She thought Zhang Yumo had long been skinned alive by Danjimai and died in the underground palace.
Zhang Yumo asked in confusion, "What underground palace? We've been staying in Red Maple City ever since we arrived in Xichuan!"
Jiang Fenghua woke up to find that everything had changed.
