Chapter 859: What is the purpose of the man in black?
Jiang Fenghua's eyes were cold, "Who are you? You were the one who spread the rumor about Lady Yinchuan, right? I remember that your usual trick is to set up traps. You set up traps for the Fourth Prince and Prince Kang to rebel, and now you are setting up traps for me again. But you should feel ashamed, because the traps you set are not smart."
The man in black said calmly, "Queen Jiang is not only vicious, but also very sharp-tongued."
He added: "However, I will not argue with Queen Jiang, because you have lost part of your memory. When you remember everything, you will understand how important the Ice Phoenix Seal is to the Ancient Yinchuan Kingdom, and how much Ashina Yun of the Ancient Yinchuan Kingdom hopes that you can return."
Jiang Fenghua is now certain that these rumors are indeed directed at her, but she can't figure out what the other party's purpose is.
However, she understood one thing, the man in black was the very strange eldest prince of Beixiao Kingdom, Xiao Shang, also known as Xiao Chuanyun.
He suddenly threw something to Jiang Fenghua. Xiao Yu wanted to reach out to catch it, but the thing fell steadily into Jiang Fenghua's palm.
He said, "This is a token of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom. It is called the Ice Phoenix Seal. Only the descendants of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom can open the Ice Phoenix Seal. You can give it a try."
Jiang Fenghua stared at the phoenix-shaped jade seal in her hand. "Where did you get this thing? You're quite pretentious and deliberately made it look like this. It's a pity that my last name is Jiang. I'm the daughter of the Jiang family, not the descendant of Lady Ashi."
The man in black insisted, "Whether it is true or not, Your Majesty will know once you try it."
Jiang Fenghua saw another strange scene. Wherever the man in black went seemed to be frozen. A faint white mist was left in the air, like a trail of frost. However, after he left, the layer of frost also disappeared.
Jiang Fenghua was not deceived by Xiao Shang and entered into the illusion he set up at that time, and she could not do so now. She finally confirmed the other party's identity. It turned out that the eldest prince of Beixiao Kingdom had already arrived in Shengjing. He roamed around the Great Zhou Dynasty openly and set up a trap, and in the end it was to make her believe that she was a descendant of the ancient country of Yinchuan.
She always believed that there is no such thing as no gain without pain. Only the drive of profit could make him set up such a big game. As for why he came to her, she also guessed that it might be related to her memories of her previous life.
I don’t know what Su Qingqing and Xie Ling’er told him that made him come to me.
Just as the man in black disappeared into the night sky, he suddenly said, "Minister Xiao, have you ever wondered why your surname is the same as the surname of the royal family of the Northern Xiao Kingdom? Is there some kind of connection between you and the Northern Xiao Kingdom? You and your father entered the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty... If Queen Jiang wants to know the mystery of her life experience, go to the West Tower of the city alone in three days."
Xiao Yu's face suddenly changed, and veins even popped out of his fingers holding the sword. What did he mean? The Xiao family was from Quanzhou. His mother had passed away long ago, and he was raised by his father, who was just an ordinary scholar.
Xiao Yu frowned. Bei Xiao's predecessor was originally from the Central Plains, and Xiao is also a common surname. This man in black is really setting traps for them everywhere!
Only after the black-clothed man left did Xiao Yu bow to Jiang Fenghua and say, "I really don't know what he means. In my memory, I have always lived in Quanzhou with my father. The Xiao family's ancestral home is also Quanzhou. It is absolutely impossible for them to have any relationship with the royal family of the Northern Xiao Kingdom."
Jiang Fenghua said: "I have no doubts about Minister Xiao, and I also believe that Minister Xiao has absolutely no second thoughts about the Great Zhou."
In the previous life, where did Xiao Yu go after saving her body? Could it be the Northern Xiao Kingdom? So when the Northern Xiao Kingdom later destroyed the Great Zhou, was Xiao Yu involved?
She knew she shouldn't doubt Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu continued, "He said that Your Majesty will go to the appointment in three days. I am worried that he is lying. Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible and tell the Emperor the identity of the man in black."
Jiang Fenghua thought that Xie Shang should be with Song Jing at this time, so she said, "I will find a chance to tell the emperor."
Holding the Ice Phoenix Jade Seal in her hand, she couldn't even tell whether it was real or fake. She only felt that the object in her hand was exquisite.
Xiao Yu said: "I don't really believe what he said about the ancient country of Yinchuan and the mark on the queen's forehead, but..."
Jiang Fenghua stared at Xiao Yu and said in a deep voice: "I don't believe a word he said. I want to see what kind of scam he is planning."
She has lived two lives, so how could she still believe these things? It is obvious that the eldest prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom is deliberately targeting her, and it is even possible that he has come for her rebirth.
Xiao Yu had known for a long time that Jiang Fenghua knew martial arts, because he once accidentally ran into her and Brother Jin Yan practicing swordsmanship. At that time, he was fascinated.
It was also at that time that she learned that Miss Jiang San had never thought of marrying an ordinary person.
Seeing him in a daze, Jiang Fenghua praised him, "I didn't expect Minister Xiao's swordsmanship to be so powerful."
Xiao Yu's cheeks turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty's skills are truly great. I didn't expect that a woman like you could be so powerful."
She is also very good at studying and very smart. Could it be that Miss Jiang San is really the descendant of the queen of the ancient country of Yinchuan, and has noble royal blood in her body?
At this time, Lin Yu and Helan Jue ran out of the study at the same time, "Are you okay, Madam?"
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "It's okay."
Jiang Fenghua walked back into the room and asked Madam Helan, "Madam Helan, do you know this person?"
Madam Helan's eyes were evasive, and she stammered, "No... I don't know him."
Jiang Fenghua grabbed her neck and said, "So that day at the Li Mansion, you pretended to be crazy and stupid to come to me to ask for my daughter. In fact, it was this man in black who ordered you to do so? And when you went to the entrance of Jishan Hall to make a scene, it was also he who ordered you to do so."
She was not angry that the man in black could order Madam Helan around, but she was angry that anyone could frame her.
The Marquis of Changping had no idea that his wife had made such a fuss. He asked, "Madam, what happened? How did you know the man in black? Explain it clearly to the Queen!"
Madam Helan could no longer hide the truth and knelt in front of Jiang Fenghua. "Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to do that. I just listened to the bad guys' instigation. I know I was wrong. Your Majesty wants to punish me, and I am willing to do it. I only ask Your Majesty to spare Yanran."
Jiang Fenghua knew that killing an ignorant woman would dirty her own hands. Moreover, she was indeed being used by someone with ulterior motives. She let go of Madam Helan's neck and said, "Think carefully about what else you haven't told me."
Madam Helan paused, "And Concubine Su also came to me for help, and I gave her some silver..."
Jiang Fenghua finally figured it out now. Apart from Zhang Yurou, Su Qingqing actually had connections with all the noble ladies in Shengjing City.
She did not contact the minister directly, but the minister's family. She was smart. No wonder she could come and go freely in the heavily guarded Shengjing City.
