Empress Cheng opened her eyelids and said calmly, "Here you are. Have you finished your work outside the palace? You have been out of the palace for half a month, right?"

Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, everything has been arranged."

"I heard that the supplies were sent away ten days ago." Her mother-in-law also took on a serious attitude, as if she was going to teach her a lesson, just like in her previous life.

"Yes, but the first batch was sent away ten days ago. Because the number was too large, the rest were sent away one after another." Jiang Fenghua explained everything. She looked so docile, well-behaved, dignified and skilled that Queen Cheng couldn't even find any trigger point.

"Stand up and sit down." Empress Cheng's tone became better. "Shang'er has the Su family to support you. Right now, the baby in your belly is more important. Stay out less and have less contact with court officials and their wives. Don't put the cart before the horse for the sake of greed."

Jiang Fenghua thought to herself, how did Su Tingwan brainwash her in the palace? Did she think that only the Su family could help Xie Shang? She didn't believe that her son could win by his own ability.

She took the initiative to explain, "Jishan Hall was founded by the prince himself when he was in Shengjing. I also helped to sort out some internal affairs in my spare time. The prince went north to fight against the Hu tribe and it was extremely dangerous. Jishan Hall was the prince's hard work. I didn't want to let others do it, so I stayed for a few more days.

I personally supervised and felt relieved. I don't know how long this battle will last. I just want the prince to fight with peace of mind and not have any worries. Everything the prince has done is for the benefit of the country, and his kindness will be appreciated by generations to come." She tried to gain fame for Xie Shang outside, and the queen was annoyed in the palace.

The Queen is most concerned about her son. As long as she grasps this point, Queen Cheng will never take advantage of the situation. Besides, she has already taken the dominant position. Now, facing Queen Cheng, she is just wasting her breath and making empty promises.

After hearing this, the Queen felt that she was unable to refute every word Jiang Fenghua said.

Seeing that the queen did not speak, Jiang Fenghua continued, "In this battle, the prince and the soldiers on the front line risked their own safety to resist the enemy and defend their country. And it is not only the Su family who helped, we also tried our best to prepare sufficient backup for them. Not only the aristocratic families participated, but also the merchants, and the Cheng family was not willing to lag behind, and they contributed money and manpower."

The queen was good at grasping words, and her eyes lit up, "The Cheng family, which Cheng family is Ruan Ruan talking about?" Xie Shang did not tell her anything when he left.

Jiang Fenghua sneered, and when she mentioned the people she cared about, she called them "Ruan Ruan" affectionately. She smiled and said, "Of course it's the Queen Mother's uncle's family. I have even met the Queen Mother's mother."

"Mother?" There were tears in Queen Cheng's eyes. She felt guilty when she mentioned the Cheng family.

"Yes, I sent some warm clothes to my grandmother, saying that they were sent by my mother, and she was very happy."

Queen Cheng stepped forward and held her hand, "How is my mother?" Even though she knew she was going to die, Queen Cheng did not dare to go to the emperor and ask for permission to leave the palace to visit her mother.

"That's bad. Is mother going to leave the palace to visit grandma?" Jiang Fenghua asked her.

Empress Cheng shook her head, "I am unfilial. I only hope that she will not have a daughter like me in her next life. A woman who marries into the royal family has no mother's home. We cannot get out of this high wall with red tiles."

"You go down and have a rest. I'm tired and need to rest." Queen Cheng said.

Jiang Fenghua left without saying much. The emperor seemed to really hate the Cheng family, so the queen didn't want to touch that reverse scale. Old Madam Cheng never saw her daughter again until her death, which became a lifelong pain for Queen Cheng.

Jiang Fenghua came out of Kunning Palace and went straight to Chenxi Palace. At this time, she saw a palace maid sneaking around. Wu Xin shouted, "Who is it?"

Aoxue took action directly. Before she could get close, Yunfang walked tremblingly in front of Jiang Fenghua, "Your servant greets the princess."

Jiang Fenghua saw her clearly and thought to himself that she was quite capable as she had managed to sneak back into the palace. However, given her current situation, Su Tingwan would definitely not let her go. She had no way to retreat and could only run into the palace to avoid being chased.

Aoxue and Lianye were also stunned. Yunfang was really brave to run back to the palace. They all thought that after Yunfang left Jingzhao Prefecture through the back door, she would leave Shengjing, at least stay away from trouble and save her life.

"Come in!" Jiang Fenghua said.

Yunfang followed him into the Chenxi Palace. The palace maids had already prepared hot water, and the room was very warm. Under the dim oil lamp, Yunfang began to bustle around carrying basins and pouring water. She even diligently went forward to help Jiang Fenghua wash up.

Lian Ye and Aoxue naturally didn't dare to let her get close. They waited until Jiang Fenghua's pair of jade feet were soaked in the foot bath tub and the palace maids left before she asked Yun Fang, "Tell me, what do you want from me, the princess?"

Yunfang knelt in front of Jiang Fenghua, "Please, Princess, let me stay with you! If I betray the Su family, I will have no way to survive. Didn't Princess say that I can continue to stay in the palace?"

Jiang Fenghua knew that she was not a person who kept to herself. In her previous life, she had become a beauty. She had helped Su Tingwan do many evil things. In the end, she ended up being torn to pieces, which was the retribution she deserved.

In this life, she would never allow Yunfang to stay by her side.

She kindly reminded, "You can go back to your hometown, find an honest man to marry and live a stable life. You are still young, and you still have a chance to start your life over again. Maybe one day, after you wake up, you will realize that the vanity in front of you is not as happy as the freedom of your heart. Yunfang, I will not keep you by my side."

"I don't want to live that kind of life for even a moment." Yun Fang added, "Princess, you have lived a life of luxury since you were a child, never worried about food and clothing. You don't know what it feels like to be poorly clothed, hungry and cold since you were a child, and you don't know how to survive in this world. I have tried my best. Those who pursue their true nature are bullshit. Only those who have the power to survive and live a life of luxury are qualified to choose to pursue their true nature."

Jiang Fenghua paused and said in a deep voice, "Go away. Just pretend I haven't seen you tonight."

Yunfang stared at Jiang Fenghua. She was really so heartless.

After sending Yunfang out, Aoxue said, "I have experienced the kind of life she described. When it comes to food and clothing, no one will stick to their original intentions. There is only the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest."

Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "You mean to say that you should not advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering."

Aoxue was stunned.

Jiang Fenghua said, "Although what she said makes sense, this is not a reason for Yunfang to help the bad guys do evil. Every failure makes you wiser. This principle should be engraved in your mind so as not to make the same mistake again." She would not keep any factors that might ruin her plan around her, especially an egoist like Yunfang.

She has the ability to enter the palace, so she naturally has the ability to leave the palace. A woman like Yun Fang will not die. If she is smart, she will take the initiative to leave the Su family, so that she may live longer.
