In fact, when Aoxue and Lianye came out of the small kitchen, she had been standing outside. She looked solemn. Today she went to find Concubine Lan and discovered that she was taken to a mountain villa by a group of men in black. After checking, Aoxue found out that the villa was the property of the Shang family.

She waited until the afternoon and saw Commander Shang go to the villa. She was shocked and guessed the relationship between Commander Shang and Concubine Lan. The person helping them behind the scenes was the Queen Mother, and Nanny Wang seemed to know it as well.

The Queen once secretly asked her whether there was an antidote for the amnesia drug. She couldn't tell the Queen the truth because the antidote had been taken away by the Emperor, so she could only say no.

Why would the Queen take the initiative to ask Concubine Lan to leave the palace now?

Seeing her acting mysterious, Jiang Fenghua asked, "What happened?"

Aoxue said softly: "I saw Commander Shang and Concubine Lan, and she seemed to be pregnant."

Jiang Fenghua's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly calmed down. Aoxue came to see her alone and she must have seen her letting Helan Yanran get off the car. She said, "You met her."

"No, I didn't show up." Aoxue continued, "Why would Your Majesty help her? If the Emperor knew about her affair with Commander Shang, it would be a big deal."

"Too many tragedies have happened in the palace. If she stays in the palace, she will die. I don't want to see anyone else die in the palace because of Jiang Fenghua. She can't bear the consequences of another death."

Aoxue was stunned. "Their deaths have nothing to do with the Queen. The Queen has never harmed them. Why would the Queen think like this?"

Jiang Fenghua said, "When I saw how Zhang Jingjing and Pan Nianru died, I knew that Helan Yanran was pregnant. At that moment, I seemed to have seen Helan Yanran's tragic death. The only way to keep her alive was to let her leave the palace."

"Your Majesty, you should know that if she were a woman from an ordinary family, she would not be able to survive if she did such a thing. She is a woman in the imperial city, how dare she mess around with a man." Aoxue added, "If she dares to cheat on someone, she must bear the consequences. Your Majesty is just too kind-hearted. I am worried that if the matter is exposed and it is found out, it will bring disaster upon Your Majesty."

Jiang Fenghua knew what Aoxue was thinking, and she said, "There is a reason for this. I can only survive by making people think that she is dead. If she is really exposed, that would be her fate."

Aoxue felt very guilty and blamed herself, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked my master for amnesia medicine, causing the queen to forget everything. If the queen had been in the palace all the time, the concubines in the harem wouldn't have made such a mess, and they wouldn't have died."

Jiang Fenghua didn't think too much and asked, "Is there an antidote for the amnesia drug? Last time I asked you, you dodged me. I hope you can tell me the truth."

Aoxue hesitated for a moment before saying, "We all think it's better for the Queen not to remember the past. At least the Queen can live as she pleases now, without so many rules and regulations to restrict her. As long as the Queen is happy, that's all."

Jiang Fenghua just wanted to smile bitterly, "There are no rules of etiquette to restrain me, is it because there really is none? This is the imperial palace, I am the queen, and my every word and action is under everyone's eyes. I still have to abide by the rules. It's not that easy to live as I please."

"The Emperor is protecting the Empress. Who dares to disobey him?" Aoxue added, "In fact, the Emperor really loves the Empress. The Empress shouldn't blame the Emperor for Bai Yuhan's matter. I don't believe that she didn't have feelings for the Emperor when she first entered the palace. She knew that the Emperor didn't like her, and she didn't fall for the Queen Mother's plan, so she wanted to retreat.

And there is Concubine Su. The emperor was also deceived by her. Although he is a prince, with a status that everyone envies, and he is also a high and mighty prince, he has had no friends since he was a child, and he doesn't even have the love of his father or mother. I heard that he went to the military camp when he was very young, and was later driven out. He was also ostracized and made trouble in front of the late emperor, but the late emperor never stood up for him. It was Lin Feng and Ye Ying who helped him, but they were just guards and servants after all.

When the emperor met Su Tingwan, he was also fooled by her fake appearance. The person she loved was not the emperor, she only loved the emperor's identity. Concubine Su has been giving advice to her niece. Maybe she knows that the emperor will become the emperor sooner or later. In fact, the emperor was also deceived by them..."

Jiang Fenghua was filled with sighs after hearing this. Nanny Wang also said that if one enters the palace and does not love power but only loves men, one will not live long.

She listened quietly to Aoxue talking about Xie Shang's past. She didn't expect that he had such a difficult childhood. After all, he was a prince. Aren't princes high and mighty? How could he be emperor when his father treated him so badly?

Aoxue chatted with her for a while and then left. She didn't say whether there was an antidote or not. Everyone hoped that she would be happy.

So she is lucky enough to have so many people caring about her and protecting her. Why should she be unhappy because of something that has nothing to do with her?

She thought: Was Xie Shang really that pitiful when he was a child? No wonder Nanny Wang said that the Queen Mother was sometimes like a lunatic. It was really the Xie family's ancestors who showed their power that Xie Shang did not become useless in her hands.

Apart from being a bad man to women, Xie Shang was quite attentive to state affairs.

Nanny Wang said that few men are good, and men above the imperial power are even less good. If a woman wants to be above the imperial power, she must treat men as things. The key is whether they are useful or not. Who would be willing to throw away a useful thing? It is also fine as long as it is convenient to use.

How many men are as loyal to their wives as Master Jiang? Life is long. Those who study love affairs every day are destined to be narrow-minded.

Thinking of these words, Jiang Fenghua couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and smiled. Nanny Wang was indeed a very wise person. How did she understand these truths of life?

It was still early and she couldn't fall asleep, so she found a book on the bookshelf and leaned on the couch to read it. She didn't know when she fell asleep.

At this moment, Jiang Fenghua was half asleep when she heard someone talking outside the door. She woke up suddenly and heard the voices of Xie Shang and the eunuch on duty talking. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep again.

Xie Shang pushed the door open and saw that the wick on the table was only the size of a bean, and Jiang Fenghua was leaning on the couch, seemingly asleep.

He walked towards her quietly, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, he didn't want to disturb her, so he found a blanket to cover her, and took the book from her hand.

He glanced at the title of the book. Why did Ruan Ruan suddenly read this kind of book? Did she forget everything and so had to learn etiquette again?

Xie Shang sat next to her again and began to read the six arts of a gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics...

The wick of the lamp was not bright, and he did not turn it up too bright for fear of waking her up. He just moved closer to the lamp and continued reading.

When Jiang Fenghua saw him come in, she did nothing but covered her with a blanket and stole a book from her to read. She lay on her side, staying in the same position. She was too embarrassed to turn over until he left, for fear of disturbing him.

Who would have thought that he would come back tonight!

At this moment, the oil lamp beside the table suddenly went out, and the room became pitch black. Jiang Fenghua saw that there was no light at all near her eyelids, and thought that the oil must have burned out. She took this opportunity to turn over, otherwise half of her body would be out of control and numb.

Just as she turned over, Xie Shang also stood up and prepared to relight the oil lamp. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, his brocade robe was pressed down by Jiang Fenghua.
