Chapter 795: Jealousy towards Subordinates
Gongsun Ling's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that the queen is so knowledgeable. I admire her." He admired her even more.
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "I am not even a fraction as good as Mr. Gongsun. It is said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles."
Gongsun Ling was stunned: "That's not entirely true..."
Seeing that they were getting along so well and had so many topics to talk about, Xie Shang suddenly felt jealous. Ruan Ruan was sarcastic to him but warm to other men.
Her maids were also extremely attentive and full of admiration for Gongsun Ling, and often treated him with cold eyes and caution.
Xie Shang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gongsun has important matters to attend to in Kyoto, so the Queen and I will not keep you here. Black Bee, please escort you out of the palace to do your work!"
Gongsun Ling was stunned again, "It's raining so hard outside, Your Majesty wants me to leave the palace?"
"It looks like it will rain today. If Mr. Gongsun doesn't go to do his work, it will cause trouble. I'll have someone send you off." He added, "Business is more important. The Queen and I will host a banquet for you another day."
He stepped forward and put his arm around Jiang Fenghua's shoulders. "I will not leave the palace. Sir, send someone to tell me when you have finished your work."
At the beginning, Xie Shang had Xie Yun and Xie Minmin secretly sent out of the capital, and they never went to the labor camp. As for whether they did any labor in the hands of Gongsun Ling, no one knew.
Jiang Fenghua said: "Sir, do you know why the whale is called the waning moon whale?" She knew that Xie Shang was jealous again. He was just jealous that others treated her differently. Could she understand that Xie Shang was not confident?
"The waning moon whale is just another name people give it. The rumor is so terrifying, it is very likely that someone happened to see it eating a person at the time. Anyway, it's just a legend and can't be taken seriously." Gongsun Ling said.
"If this is true, whales are not as docile as ordinary fish. They also eat humans and meat."
Gongsun Ling nodded, "That should be the case."
She wondered: "Will someone raise this kind of animal to attack humans?"
"No, it can't survive without the sea." Gongsun Ling said again.
Jiang Fenghua looked at Xie Shang, "Has the emperor forgotten the vassal states? They live along the coast. When we left the vassal states, we just helped Tu Jun. However, Xie Yun, the son of King Kang, is traveling in the vassal states. King Kang cannot be unaware of this. The origin of the waning moon whale is only briefly recorded in the books that have been passed down to the Great Zhou Kingdom. If the coastal countries know more about the habits of whales, will they keep them in captivity?"
Xie Shang said: "The vassal state also intends to plunder the territory of the Great Zhou. This symbol may have been passed down from other countries. Ruan Ruan's concerns are not impossible."
Gongsun Ling said: "It is also possible that it is in another country, and the Disha Sect is not in the Great Zhou Kingdom."
Xie Shang's eyes flashed with coldness, "Xie Kang colluded with outsiders to murder the Great Zhou, which is truly an unforgivable crime."
Jiang Fenghua reminded him again: "Are you afraid that these assassins who entered the palace to assassinate you are just here to test your strength?"
Jiang Fenghua suddenly turned around and left.
Xie Shang asked her, "Ruan Ruan, where are you going?"
At this time, Jiang Fenghua had already left the main hall and went to the side hall where Nanny Wang lived.
The sky was already bright and the rain had subsided a lot, falling in strands. The sky was gloomy, like a hazy net covering the entire palace.
Xie Shang, Gongsun Ling and others followed Jiang Fenghua to Nanny Wang's residence.
She kept Nanny Wang's room in tidiness. Except for the fact that Nanny Wang was gone, everything else remained unchanged.
Jiang Fenghua had never been to Nanny Wang's room before, so she started searching everywhere as soon as she entered the room.
Xie Shang asked, "Ruan Ruan, what are you looking for?" He already knew that Nanny Wang had died. This incident happened too suddenly, and Xie Shang didn't figure out what was going on, nor did he have time to inquire about the situation.
He only knew that Nanny Wang might be a spy planted in the palace by Xie Kang.
Nanny Wang had been in the palace for more than ten years and had always been serving the Empress Dowager. Xie Shang had also come into contact with her countless times. Nanny Wang cared about him more than her mother did. He felt a little sad when Nanny Wang died.
Jiang Fenghua looked around but didn't find anything useful. "We used to live in Dawn Palace, right?"
"Yes." He knew she must have discovered some important clues.
Jiang Fenghua said: "Go to Chenxi Palace to look for it."
Jiang Fenghua hadn't slept the whole night. She had been busy from yesterday till today and was a little tired. She almost fell down because she didn't stand firmly.
Xie Shang quickly went to support her: "Ruan Ruan, what's wrong with you?"
"Maybe I'm hungry and feel a little dizzy," she said.
Xie Shang looked at her face, which was no longer as rosy as before. He said, "Gongsun Ling, feel the Queen's pulse."
Gongsun Ling said, "Help the queen sit down first."
Jiang Fenghua was still thinking about going to Chenxi Palace to find Nanny Wang's things. "If Chenxi Palace doesn't have it, we have to go to the Queen Mother's Palace to check."
Xie Shang pointed out: "Madame Wang used to live in Kunning Palace with her mother. She has only moved into Chenxi Palace for two years. If she wants to leave something behind, she probably won't stay in Chenxi Palace."
"The emperor means that Nanny Wang has lived in Kunning Palace for more than ten years. If she wants to pass on a message to me, she is most likely to stay in Kunning Palace." Jiang Fenghua thought carefully about what Nanny Wang said to her before she died.
She finally said...
Gongsun Ling reminded: "When taking the pulse, your Majesty, please try not to get too emotional."
Jiang Fenghua sat at the round table with her hands on the table. Hongxiu took a handkerchief and put it on her wrist. The handkerchief was messed up when she was talking to Xie Shang.
She said, "Actually, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep last night, so I feel a little dizzy and tired."
Xie Shang held her hand and said, "Gongsun Ling's medical skills are trustworthy. Now that he has entered the palace, let him check it out!"
Jiang Fenghua knew that Gongsun Ling's ability was recognized by Xie Shang, and he should be no worse than Doctor Mei.
Gongsun Ling frowned slightly, but soon relaxed calmly, "Your Majesty is weak, it's related to not getting enough sleep last night, you will be fine after more rest."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Are you okay? Let's go find the things that Nanny Wang left behind first."
Before Xie Shang could say anything, Gongsun Ling spoke first, "Your Majesty, please go and have breakfast first. I will prescribe a tranquilizer for you. You can have a good sleep."
Gongsun Ling glanced at Xie Shang quietly, signaling him to persuade the queen to rest. He was also a little worried about the queen's health. Was the medicine harmful to her body?
When Xie Shang heard him say this, he became confused. Could it be that something was wrong with Ruan Ruan's health?
He said, "I haven't eaten either. I'm hungry too. We can slowly investigate Nanny Wang's identity. There's no need to rush. The Queen's health is the most important thing right now. I didn't rest all night. I was careless."
Jiang Fenghua said to Hongxiu and Lianye, "You can also look for Nanny Wang to see if she has left anyone behind."
"Yes."
Lian Ye added: "I will go and prepare medicinal food for you first."
"No need, just let the imperial chef arrange it. Go and find it quickly." Jiang Fenghua felt a little dizzy and very hungry. She felt very upset that Nanny Wang was gone.
She had two pills of poison in her hand, one for Jiang Fenghua and one for herself. In the end, she took the poison and left one for Nanny Xi.
Nanny Wang was determined to die. She would not die for no reason. Even if Xie Kang had done her a favor and let her enter the palace as a spy, she might have at most passed on some information for Xie Kang over the years and had never harmed anyone.
