Chapter 937 He was moved by her
At this time, another guard brought an urgent report. Wu Xin read it and knocked anxiously on the door, "Your Majesty, Yuzhou Prefect Zhang Qian has sent an urgent letter. There is an accident in Yuzhou."
A moment later, Jiang Fenghua followed Xie Shang to the imperial study. Because of the flood in Yuzhou, Xie Shang summoned all the ministers to the palace to discuss the matter overnight.
Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua were busy with the flood in Yuzhou until dawn. Wuxin then brought the dragon robe and busied himself helping the emperor dress and wash.
Jiang Fenghua calmly walked up to Xie Shang and took the belt from Wuxin's hand: "Let me do it!"
Xie Shang suddenly said, "Did Ruan Ruan forget to give me a birthday present?"
Jiang Fenghua gently fastened his belt and straightened his dragon robe. "I have already prepared the gift for your Majesty's birthday. I was too busy yesterday and didn't have the chance to give it to you."
"The gift Ruan Ruan gave me was that nightgown. I've already seen it." Xie Shang's voice was full of dissatisfaction. "If I remember correctly, Ruan Ruan always prepares the same gift for me every year."
Jiang Fenghua's eyes flashed with embarrassment, "Actually..."
"Ruan Ruan must be tired after accompanying me on official business last night. Go back and rest early!" Xie Shang was about to leave after saying this. He didn't want to hear any excuses that she didn't care about him.
"I actually have another gift for Your Majesty." Jiang Fenghua called him.
Xie Shang spread out his hands, "Ruan Ruan has a gift, then give it to me!"
Jiang Fenghua stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "I'll give it to you when your Majesty is done!"
Xie Shang thought about the erotic scene last night, but was interrupted by an unexpected incident. He changed the subject: "I actually have something else to discuss with Ruan Ruan."
"Your Majesty, please say whatever you want to say! I will obey your Majesty in everything." Jiang Fenghua said.
"Since Xiao Chuanyun is here for Ruan Ruan, you should go and talk to him alone. What evidence does he have to prove that the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom really existed? We have always been reluctant to believe such a ridiculous thing in the world, but the truth is... I can no longer deceive myself that such a weird thing really happened. Perhaps Ruan Ruan really has some connection with the Yinchuan Kingdom!"
"Does the emperor believe me?" Jiang Fenghua asked directly.
"Of course I believe in Ruan Ruan, and Ruan Ruan won't let me down." He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "In fact, Ruan Ruan is my best gift, a gift sent to me by God, so I don't care what Ruan Ruan gives me, as long as Ruan Ruan is always by my side."
Jiang Fenghua smiled broadly, "I know that the Great Zhou will be in trouble in the future, and the Emperor will be very busy. I also know that the flood in Yuzhou is probably not a problem that can be solved with money alone. If the Northern Xiao Kingdom takes the opportunity to attack the Great Zhou, it will also be disadvantageous to us. Therefore, saving Xiao Shang's life may be helpful to us."
Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "Xiao Chuanyun isn't that important to the Northern Xiao Nation right now, and he doesn't have the final say in the Northern Xiao Nation. The Xiao family also has other clan princes. If they want to attack the Great Zhou, they have to consider whether they might suddenly stumble. If the Northern Xiao Nation dared to send troops, they would have already done so. Why would he bother to alarm the Great Zhou? He may have ambitions, but he doesn't have the ability to compete with the Great Zhou at this moment."
The reason why Xie Shang called him Xiao Chuanyun was because Xiao Shang deliberately gave him the same name as him to make him feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Since the emperor knows, what are you worried about? We don't need to be scared by what he said."
Xie Shang held her hand and said, "I don't want Ruan Ruan to be in any danger. The mark between your eyebrows had better disappear."
They were actually all quite worried, but they were just comforting each other.
Xie Shang went to attend the morning court, and Jiang Fenghua did not return to Kunning Palace, but went to the Tianlao to see Xiao Shang.
She also understood what Xie Shang meant. Xiao Shang had obviously come to the palace well prepared. The heavy rain and the disaster that befell the Great Zhou were all predicted by Xiao Shang.
In the Golden Palace, Xie Shang listened to the report with a hint of fatigue between his brows.
"Even more serious news came in this morning. Not only Yuzhou was affected, but many places in the Great Zhou were also affected."
"The heavy rain triggered floods that destroyed thousands of hectares of fertile farmland. It was the busy farming season, and many newly planted crops were destroyed overnight. Rivers overflowed, breaking dams and submerging villages."
Bad news such as heavy rain sweeping across many counties and towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty was delivered to Xie Shang's desk one after another.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory's director stepped out, his face terrified. "Your Majesty, the celestial phenomena are abnormal, with sudden rain and drought. A locust plague may occur after the rainstorm. There are strange noises in Yongzhou, landslides and cracks in the ground, and there is also heavy rain. This is a very bad omen!
This kind of phenomenon has never occurred before. I am worried that it is related to the rumors that have been circulating recently. The natural disaster is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster that caused it.
The ministers in the hall were in an uproar and were talking about it.
Jiang Jinyan stepped out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task right now is to order officials from all regions to make every effort to provide disaster relief and reinforce the dikes. The Ministry of Revenue should immediately coordinate food and fodder for emergency use. The court cannot simply allocate funds for disaster relief; it also needs manpower. The people of Great Zhou are united and will surely overcome this natural disaster."
As soon as Jiang Jinyan said this, Xiao Yu stepped forward and said, "I second the motion."
Immediately afterwards, more officials came out and echoed the sentiment.
Xie Shang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He said in a deep voice, "According to Minister Jiang's advice, everyone should devote all their efforts to disaster relief..."
-
Heaven Prison.
Xiao Shang was tightly bound to the iron wall by special cold iron chains. When he saw Jiang Fenghua approaching, a bohemian smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Queen Jiang, my prophecy must have come true! A great disaster has been sent down from heaven..."
His face was pale, but his eyes were unusually bright.
Jiang Fenghua saw that he had injuries on his body, and it was obvious that he had suffered some physical pain last night. She thought to herself: It turns out that Xiao Shang, who was reborn into Xiao Chuanyun's body, is just an ordinary piece of flesh and blood.
He knew that this natural disaster would happen because he had experienced it in his previous life. However, this time Jiang Fenghua guessed wrong.
Jiang Fenghua didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "There are no outsiders here. I want to hear how Prince Xiao determined that the Great Zhou would be struck by a disaster. If Prince Xiao tells me the truth, I will save your life."
"Jiang Fenghua, just admit it! You are no longer the same person you used to be. You are actually the same as me. Don't you want to find out the reason?"
Jiang Fenghua was calm and composed. How could she possibly admit this? "I don't know what Prince Xiao is talking about, and I don't have time to beat around the bush with him. Let's get straight to the point!"
"What does the Queen want to talk about?" Xiao Shang said again: "If the Queen asks me, I can tell her the truth."
"Apart from the Ice Phoenix Jade Seal you gave me, do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true? Otherwise, I can't save your life." Jiang Fenghua's voice was calm.
"Hasn't your Majesty read the books I gave you?"
Jiang Fenghua asked knowingly, "I don't know. What book?"
He said, "What the book says has come true, right? This disaster was caused by Empress Jiang. Didn't Xie Shang take his anger out on you?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled faintly, "No, the relationship between me and His Majesty has always been very good."
Xiao Shang suddenly felt jealous, "He has so many women, and you're not angry."
"Prince Xiao also has many women! Wouldn't your beloved woman be angry?" Jiang Fenghua asked back.
Xiao Shang stared at her pretty face, wanting to say that no matter in his past life or this life, he had never had a beloved woman, nor had he had many women.
It wasn't until he met Jiang Fenghua that he fell in love with her.
