Chapter 1034 Encounter in a Dream 6
Jiang Fenghua smiled, thinking that the other party was probably just flattering her. After what he said, she really wanted to go to the royal city to see Ashina Xue, but she was afraid that something might go wrong along the way.
She entered the dream of the female ruler in Xichuan and saw Danji Aruan become the female ruler. However, she did not know that the three major families had stolen the secret technique and returned to Licheng. Was Ayu resurrected by the city lord of Baili, or was Aruan determined to resurrect him?
She glanced in the direction of the underground palace. The person in front of her seemed to know the seriousness of the matter, which was why the underground palace had been sealed off.
Since A Yu is already dead, there's no need for her to go looking for him anymore; the Queen should be able to give her the answer.
From then on, Baili's family became an empty city.
Xie Shang, using the identity of Baili Shang, followed Jiang Fenghua. He suddenly took her hand and said affectionately, "With your husband accompanying you to the capital, you don't need to be afraid."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "The people are watching. Are you trying to solidify the illusion of a loving couple like Danji Aruan and Baili Shang?"
Xie Shang retorted, "You're not them, how do you know their relationship was bad after they got married?"
Jiang Fenghua wanted to say that Aruan liked Ayu, but she said, "We really don't know about other people's feelings, but my relationship with my husband is very good, and my husband loves me very much."
Xie Shang smiled. His woman was naturally someone he would cherish; their fate was sealed a thousand years ago.
Upon arriving at the capital, Xie Shang was barred from entering the palace, while only Jiang Fenghua was brought inside. She hadn't expected to meet Queen Ashina so easily, but it wasn't what she had imagined. The Queen was seriously injured and remained in bed, unconscious.
The man in black, Xuan Yue, was the Queen's confidant. He said to Jiang Fenghua, "I found out in Licheng that Doctor Aruan's medical skills are indeed superb, so I invited you to the palace to treat the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua had no medical skills, but she could tell from the appearance of the Lady that she was seriously injured. She said, "The Lady's injuries are very serious."
“It is indeed very heavy.” Xuan Yue’s eyes were full of worry.
Jiang Fenghua asked, "I am Danjimai's daughter. Why do you trust me so much that I will not harm the Queen again?" She really couldn't understand how Danji Aruan had become the Queen.
Xuan Yue took out the secret medicine they had stolen, "Miss Aruan, don't you want the rebirth technique that everyone in the world dreams of?"
“There’s no such thing as a rebirth technique!” Jiang Fenghua said directly.
Xuan Yue was stunned for a moment, "How did you know that the secret technique was fake?"
Jiang Fenghua said, "It's probably just a gimmick by the Ashina tribe to consolidate their royal power! This medicine not only can't revive the dead, it will turn them into monsters."
Xuan Yue was completely dumbfounded, but he didn't delve too deeply into how she knew this fact. He said, "There's something I won't hide from you, Miss. Once you enter the palace gates, if the Queen doesn't wake up, you may never be able to leave this gate in your lifetime. This is because the secret technique of rebirth cannot be fake, and no one can know that the Queen is seriously injured and on the verge of death."
"If I can't save the Queen, won't you silence me?" Jiang Fenghua continued, "Why don't you just say that no matter whether I can save the Queen or not, once I step into the palace, I will never leave alive?"
She remained so calm even knowing she would die; it seemed she had come prepared. Xuan Yue sneered, "You are a smart woman, and I admire your courage. The Queen's condition must not be revealed. If you save her, she will not mistreat you."
Jiang Fenghua wondered how Danji Aruan had made his choice back then, "Was there really no other way to go?"
Xuan Yue was stunned. "What do you mean, Miss A Ruan?"
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "The Ashina tribe finally established the Yinchuan Kingdom. The Queen has only been on the throne for a short time and such a big thing has happened. If people outside know that the Queen is critically ill and that she has no successor, Lord Xuanyue, think about what the Yinchuan Kingdom will become."
The Kingdom of Yinchuan will likely be plunged into war again, with various powerful families vying for the throne. The flames of war will rage, leaving the people displaced and destitute. Most importantly, the throne that Ashina's tribe has just secured will be seized so quickly; she will probably be ridiculed by everyone for her incompetence as queen!
Xuan Yue felt that the woman in front of her was no ordinary person. She had analyzed the situation in Yinchuan so thoroughly that she even knew that the various tribes and clans in Yinchuan were not very stable, and that the Baili family in Licheng was dissatisfied with the female ruler's claim to the throne.
The female ruler had always wanted to win people over with virtue and make the Lord of Baili City submit to her, but she did not expect that the major families of Licheng would not cooperate. It was not so easy to reclaim Licheng.
Just then, a guard rushed in from outside the door to report, "There is someone outside the palace beating a drum to appeal for justice and requesting to see Lord Xuan Yue."
Xuan Yue asked, "Who wants to see me?"
"This man claims to be Baili Shang, the husband of Danji Aruan," the guard added. "He also said that if he cannot see his wife, he will smash the grievance drum and reveal Lord Xuan Yue's secret to the world."
Xuan Yue frowned. What secrets did Baili Shang have that Baili family members had been imprisoned? He was only spared because Baili Shang was Danji Aruan's husband. Was he trying to kill himself by causing trouble outside?
Jiang Fenghua explained, “Lord Xuan Yue, please let my husband in! We guessed the Queen’s condition before we even entered the palace. If my husband and I are really in danger, the secret that the Queen is seriously injured will no longer be a secret. Everyone in the world will know. We can cooperate with you to treat the Queen, but we also want to ask for your help.”
Xuan Yue hadn't expected them to be prepared. He went to Licheng and personally led them into the palace, only to be threatened by them in the end.
Xuan Yue held a knife to Jiang Fenghua's neck. "Who would believe you? Besides, your lives are already in our hands. Do you believe I can kill you and make you disappear from the world without a trace?"
It means they are overestimating themselves by trying to fight the female ruler; crushing them would be as easy as crushing two ants.
Xuan Yue's threat did not frighten Jiang Fenghua. Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, Xuan Yue asked, "What are your conditions?"
Jiang Fenghua glanced at the knife at her neck. "My husband and I were invited by Lord Xuan Yue, so he should treat us as honored guests!"
Xuan Yue had intended to intimidate him with her imposing manner, but she unexpectedly outmaneuvered him. He put down his knife and said in a deep voice, "I apologize for my intrusion."
He then said to the guards, "Go and invite Miss Ruan's husband in!"
The guards had never seen Lord Xuan Yue being manipulated like this before. Before they could even move, Xuan Yue suddenly shouted, "Hurry up and go!"
The guards were also frightened and quickly ran outside.
