Chapter 1005 Is she Danjimai?
On the other side, Zhang Yumo was brought in front of the woman in black robes. As she listened to Jiang Fenghua's question, she unconsciously looked at the woman in black robes in front of her and wondered to herself: Could she also be someone who has been reborn after death?
Zhang Yumo didn't know what had happened to her; when she woke up again, she was married to Jiang Jinyan.
Only when she overheard the conversation between Jiang Fenghua and the man in black robes did she realize that Jiang Fenghua had been putting on an act all along. She had known all along that Jiang Fenghua was lying to her, yet she still dared to follow her.
A chill ran down her spine. Jiang Fenghua had long since stopped believing her, yet she pretended to talk to her about returning to Shengjing. It turned out that she had no intention of letting herself go back alive.
She took a bold step forward and clearly saw Jiang Fenghua and her guards in the stone chamber. At this moment, her gaze suddenly fell on the guard closest to Jiang Fenghua. On the way, she felt that the man's figure was somewhat familiar.
That person's relationship with Jiang Fenghua was even too intimate; could he be...?
But Xie Shang is the ruler of a country; why would he take such a risk?
Zhang Yumo wasn't sure, but she guessed about 70-80% of the truth: if the emperor and empress both died in Xichuan, the Great Zhou Kingdom would be in chaos.
She only wanted to live a better life and didn't want to kill Jiang Fenghua; she was scheming against herself step by step.
The woman in black robes remained expressionless. She curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "I've seen many more people who have been reborn. Heaven gives them a chance, but even after living two lives, they are still mediocre and have accomplished nothing. They are all ordinary people. But Jiang Fenghua, you are different. You are the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the mother of the nation who can rule the world. You also look exactly like the Queen of Yinchuan, Danji Aruan."
Zhang Yumo was stunned. The woman in black robes had told her that Yinchuan Kingdom had been turned into a living hell by the female ruler. Could Jiang Fenghua really be the reincarnation of the female ruler?
She listened silently, not daring to utter a sound.
Jiang Fenghua said, "It's just a rumor. Who would believe a rumor from a thousand years ago? And how can we verify its truth? I came to Xichuan because Xiao Shang tricked me into coming here. He swore that we could find the reason why we are different from others here. It turns out that all of this was your plan."
The woman in black robes said coldly, "You don't believe in the existence of the Yinchuan Kingdom?"
Jiang Fenghua replied, “What’s the use of believing? There’s no historical record of the Yinchuan Kingdom. Madam should know that I searched for the history of the Yinchuan Kingdom before Xiao Shang and I came to Xichuan, and even investigated the legendary female ruler Ashina Xue, but we found nothing. If a country really existed, no matter if it’s been a thousand or ten thousand years, there must be traces of its existence!”
“Look at the stone wall behind you,” the woman in black robes said again.
Jiang Fenghua, however, appeared calm and composed. The firelight on the wall illuminated her profile, making her resemble the painting on the stone wall by about 70-80%.
The woman in black had seen the portrait of Empress Jiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty long ago. She was shocked at the time because it looked so much like the portrait left on the stone wall. With her own opportunity, she thought that Danji Aruan had been resurrected.
Zhang Yumo stood respectfully behind the man in black robes. At this moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions. Could the person in front of her be someone from the Yinchuan Kingdom a thousand years ago? Otherwise, how would she know that the Yinchuan Kingdom had become a living hell? Unless she had seen it herself.
Zhang Yumo was so shocked that she didn't dare to breathe. She said she lived on green sap, could it be that she had lived in this place for thousands of years?
That green water really does have the effect of prolonging life; living this long is practically the work of an old monster.
Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang approached the mural and indeed saw a blurry outline on it. They could only say that it looked somewhat like her, but they couldn't make out the specific features at all.
Jiang Fenghua only wanted to find out who was behind it. She said, "Does the portrait on the stone wall look like me? I don't think so. Since Madam has seen my portrait, I can say that Madam deliberately lured me and had someone paint it. I would like to ask Madam what her purpose was in leading me here."
The woman in black robes said, "Naturally, it is to restore the prestige of Yinchuan Kingdom. This world originally belonged to the Danji family. Back then, the Danji family sat on the throne and ruled Yinchuan Kingdom. Now they can still rule the Great Zhou and even the world. Miss Jiang, when you sat on the position of Empress, did you never think about becoming the master of the Great Zhou yourself?"
“I never thought about it, nor did I want to.” Jiang Fenghua continued, “So this is why you spread rumors that I am the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan. You want to use me to seize the world. Even if you seize the world, it will belong to my Jiang family. What does it have to do with you?”
The man in black robes said, "You have been a daughter of the Jiang family for two lifetimes. Do you know that you were once a member of the Danji family as well?"
Jiang Fenghua just wanted to curse that it was bullshit. She said in a deep voice, "So you also have the surname Danji, or you are a member of the Danji family."
The man in black robes said, "That's right, I am also a member of the Danji family. My name is Danji Mai."
Jiang Fenghua didn't quite recognize the name.
She initially guessed that Baili Chuan had survived the natural disaster, but now it seems that it wasn't Baili Chuan. When Danji Aruan became the queen, the Danji family would definitely have made a move. Her father, Danji Mai, and her stepmother, Mu Qirou, were both so selfish and self-serving.
The Danji family were originally just ordinary people with medical skills, but now it seems that their ambitions do not lie in medicine.
The voice she heard was a woman's voice. Danji Mai was Danji Aruan's father, but now she had become a woman.
Danji Mai was clearly unaware that Jiang Fenghua had entered the dream of the real Queen of Yinchuan and learned everything that had happened a thousand years ago. He then said, "My daughter, Aruan, is still alive. I am very gratified."
Jiang Fenghua deliberately asked, "Danji Aruan is your daughter. Does she take her mother's surname?"
Danjimai's eyes flashed with anger as he said, "Yes, I have lived here for over a thousand years."
Jiang Fenghua just wanted to laugh. If he really was Danjimai, then heaven was truly fair, for it had turned him into a woman.
She said, "How can I believe that what you're saying is true? How can a person live to be a thousand years old?"
Danjimai said, "I can tell you everything that happened back then, and you'll understand how I survived."
He said, "Back then, after Aruan went to the royal city and returned to Licheng, she became the Queen of Yinchuan. She said she had obtained the art of rebirth and wanted to revive Baili Ayu. So she sent people to dig up his grave and take away his body. I am Aruan's biological mother and I know medicine, so she brought me to the royal palace. However, the Ashina tribe's rebirth secret technique did not revive Ayu. Later, she thought of using the Danji family's medical skills to develop a secret medicine to revive people. The medicine was developed, but in the end, Yinchuan encountered a natural disaster, and everyone died except me."
If Jiang Fenghua hadn't known how deep Danji Aruan's hatred for the three major families was, she would have truly believed Danji Mai's words.
Back then, Danjimai participated in the assassination of Ashina Xue. They wanted to steal the secret technique of rebirth, but who knew that the Ashina tribe did not have any secret technique at all. It is likely that Danjimai was so obsessed with the secret technique that he developed a harmful potion.
She stared at the green liquid in the pool, lost in thought. Was the one who truly harmed Danji Aruan herself, or her father, Danji Mai?
Even if Danji Aruan hated the Danji family, she wouldn't kill her own father with her own hands!
If they can be reborn, why can't Danjimai from a thousand years ago?
