Chapter 938: Controlling Xiao Shang
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Fenghua said, "Prince Xiao is already this old, isn't he still unmarried? Or is it that no woman likes you at all, or is it that you don't like women."
When I first met him, he had disheveled hair and wore a plain white robe. He had a sinister aura and looked like a Taoist priest.
Xiao Shang would never admit that he had no women who liked him. He pretended to be cynical and said, "There are many women chasing after me, but the woman who can catch my eye has not been born yet."
Jiang Fenghua suddenly laughed. She said, "That's right. If you calculate the time for Prince Bei Shang to be born, it should be another twenty years. After Prince Bei Shang is born and grows up, it will take another twenty years before he can marry and have children. But Xiao Chuanyun should be thirty years old now. You should have married ten years ago. Why are there no women interested in Prince Xiao?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shang's face turned a little ugly, because Xiao Chuanyun was not popular in Beixiao Country, and he, Xiao Shang, looked down on those daughters of Beixiao Country who thought they were from so-called big families.
She continued, "The King of Bei Shang in my dream was very young, probably only in his twenties, so I roughly calculated the time. According to age, Xiao Shang and my grandson are of the same generation."
In her dream, Xie Shang had white hair and beard but was still sitting on the throne, which meant that Xie Shang was very long-lived. If she could live to the time when Xie Shang was in his sixties or seventies, she would also be in her fifties or sixties, and she would also have grandchildren.
When Xiao Shang heard this, Jiang Fenghua's face, covered in silver hair and wrinkles, suddenly flashed through his mind. He frowned, "I am now older than Queen Jiang."
Xiao Shang reacted, "Queen Jiang finally admitted that you are a reborn person?"
Jiang Fenghua spoke calmly, "Doesn't Prince Xiao want to go back in time and become King Bei Shang? The King Bei Shang in my dream was named Xiao Shang, so I'm just speculating and can't understand what you mean by 'reborn'."
Xiao Shang paused. If he really went back to his previous life several decades later, there would be no such person as Jiang Fenghua at that time. She would have died long ago.
Xiao Shang's heart suddenly tightened. If he found the secret technique of Yinchuan Kingdom and knew the method of rebirth, they would no longer be people of the same era.
He carefully studied Jiang Fenghua's expression. Her expression told him that she didn't seem to be lying, but the Queen Jiang he knew was definitely not that simple. "You know Su Tingwan. She said she was the Queen of the Great Zhou, but you are not."
"She's just a concubine. The Su family is ambitious and wants to seize the throne of the Great Zhou. Will the emperor marry her as his queen? It seems that Prince Xiao hasn't investigated the Great Zhou thoroughly!" Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "Prince Xiao, please don't just follow the crowd."
"You are not a reborn person. That's impossible." Xiao Shang stared at the red spider lily between her eyebrows. "The mark between your eyebrows is the mark of Yinchuan Kingdom that I found in ancient books."
Jiang Fenghua wiped the flower ornaments on her brow with a handkerchief, and the ornaments disappeared in front of Xiao Shang. She said, "I can draw any kind of flower ornaments. Prince Xiao, do you believe me now?"
Xiao Shang was stunned and muttered to himself: "How is it possible? Where is the flower?"
He wanted to go forward and see what was going on, but he was tied up with chains and couldn't move.
Seeing him in a daze, Jiang Fenghua said, "Let's get back to the point! I came to see Prince Xiao to discuss cooperation with you."
Xiao Shang suppressed his displeasure and said, "The Queen has finally come to her senses and is willing to cooperate with me to find traces of the ancient country of Yinchuan. But didn't you say you weren't?"
"Although I haven't had the experience of Prince Xiao, I did dream about something that would happen in the future. That dream was very real, as if I had actually witnessed it. I'm very confused, so I want to know why I had such a dream."
Xiao Shang said, "Perhaps you simply forgot that you were actually reborn, and you rewrote your fate of not being the queen. This prince does not know the grudges between you and Xie Shang's other women, but I can guess that it is nothing more than the jealousy and power struggles among the women in the harem. Think about it..."
"I don't understand what Prince Xiao meant. I just really want to know if what happened in my dream was true. For example, King Bei Shang led his cavalry into the Great Zhou Kingdom, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. Your name is exactly the same as King Bei Shang's name in my dream, so I tried to find out. I have been having this dream repeatedly these days, and it makes me uneasy.
If what happened in my dream is true, and you are the King of Bei Shang, then this is what will happen decades later. Why did you appear decades ago? The age difference between you is huge. Why are you here? Why did the King of Bei Shang appear in my dream? Why does all this seem so real?
I've been speculating, could it be that after King Bei Shang seized the throne of the Great Zhou, he didn't rule for long before passing away? So you came here, and you keep pestering me about rebirth and resurrection. I've never understood how such a strange thing could happen in the world.
When Xiao Shang heard her speculation, he was stunned. He didn't know which of her words were true and which were false.
She had indeed never appeared in his life in his previous life, and they were indeed separated by generations, but Jiang Fenghua's guess was exactly right, and he arrived at this place not long after.
Seeing him in a state of confusion, Jiang Fenghua said, "There must be a lot of internal power struggles in the Northern Owl Kingdom!"
"How do you know?" Xiao Shang blurted out without thinking.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Don't you men all enjoy the drama of fighting for power? You are the one who will conquer the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future. Even now, I believe you have the ability to conquer the Great Zhou. You have been hesitant to send troops, and you have even mistaken me for someone who possesses the secret technique of resurrection. You want to obtain this secret technique from me and want to go back because you have no ability to attack the Great Zhou at the moment. I wonder if your father doesn't listen to you completely! There are even other rulers in the Northern Xiao Kingdom who want to seize power."
Xiao Shanggou laughed out loud, "I really didn't make a mistake in judging her. Queen Jiang is not an ordinary woman."
"You are too kind. The words I said were also told to me by the Emperor."
When mentioning Xie Shang, Xiao Shang became unhappy. "Is he worried about the disasters that have hit all parts of the Great Zhou?"
Jiang Fenghua also became interested. "Prince Xiao knew that the Great Zhou would be affected by natural disasters a long time ago. When did you know that?"
Xiao Shang did not hide it, "From a book I read about the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I learned that the Great Zhou Dynasty would encounter a natural disaster that would not occur in a century..."
