Maybe he didn't love Ruan Ruan enough that he was so easily influenced by them. He kept thinking about someone else. He should have forgotten about it long ago. He should love Ruan Ruan well. She was his first wife.

Jiang Jinyan felt that the emperor was thinking of one thing after another. "Your Majesty, the New Year is coming soon. We must hurry back to Shengjing as soon as possible. The emperor's coronation ceremony is imminent, and many people are coming to pay tribute. Going to Yu County and returning to Beijing are not the same. I'm afraid there won't be enough time to go to Yu County. The doctor said that the queen's body can't stand it anymore."

"Then next time I have time, I will accompany Ruan Ruan to visit your grandfather." Xie Shang said again, "Ruan Ruan seems angry."

Jiang Jinyan thought to himself: He is indeed angry.

He said, "How dare she be angry with your majesty."

"Why do I feel like you are scolding me when you say this?" Xie Shang said coldly.

Jiang Jinyan quickly explained, "What I meant is that Ruan Ruan is pregnant and may be in a bad mood. When she is better, she will love the emperor again."

Jiang Jinyan stared at him and thought: Has the emperor forgotten about Zhu Yiyi?

-

On this side, Jiang Fenghua waited until Xie Shang left before she said to Nanny Wang and the others, "I'm fine. I'm just too tired. Maybe I got a miscarriage from being busy with the late emperor's funeral. I just need to rest well from now on."

At that time, Jiang Fenghua sat on the stool. She was wearing a wide cloak. At that moment, she used the strength of her fingers to aim at the acupuncture points on her chest, forcing her to really faint. Otherwise, Xie Shang would definitely realize that she was pretending to faint when he held her. In addition, she was indeed too busy during this pregnancy, the fetus was not very stable, and her emotions were too excited, causing her pulse to be disordered.

Fortunately, her elder brother reminded her that Xie Shang was nearby, so she decided to use today's opportunity to dispel Xie Shang's suspicion. It was indeed difficult to know how to dispel it, but fortunately, she and Lin Yu had already discussed this matter.

When Xie Shang was most angry, she made it seem as if both she and the child were in danger of their lives, and used this opportunity to tell him all her speculations, even involving Su Qingqing and Zhu Yushi. After hearing this, Xie Shang only felt that she did not tell him because she had no evidence.

It just so happened that Su Qingqing wanted to sow discord between her and Xie Shang, and she could also use Su Qingqing and Qin Yunyan's schemes to turn the tables on Xie Shang.

When Su Tingwan once said in front of Xie Shang that she had done something to make him the queen, Jiang Fenghua had never been afraid, because only a ghost would really believe such a thing. She didn't need to explain. She only needed to explain Lin Yu's identity and why she was pursuing the Su family.

The late emperor directly appointed her as Xie Shang's queen, which directly refuted Su Tingwan's crazy words.

As for Lin Yu's identity, there was nothing to hide, it just needed a more reasonable explanation. Fortunately, Lin Yu had used Lin Shuang as a shield.

She thought that even if Xie Shang came in front of her now, he would not ask anything!

But she was lucky to get away with it. After all, Xie Shang was still young and not as experienced as the late emperor. He was not calm and composed enough, and it would be difficult for him to become as ruthless and loveless as the late emperor.

In his previous life, Xie Shang liked Su Tingwan very much in the early days, but maybe as time went by, he didn’t like her as much, or maybe he had countless women in his harem.

Perhaps out of consideration for the baby in her belly, from that day on their journey back to Beijing became slower and slower. They would stop for a long time almost every time they arrived at a place. Their carriage became extremely luxurious and was very friendly to her, a pregnant woman. She did not suffer at all whether she was lying or sitting in it.

Jiang Fenghua was planning to spread rumors about the discord between the Emperor and the Empress, hoping to get it to Su Qingqing's ears and lure her to show up, but his plan was ruined by Xie Shang.

I saw that Xie Shang had placed a table on the carriage. He sat beside it every day to handle state affairs and review memorials. He looked focused and serious, just like a diligent emperor.

Jiang Fenghua leaned against the car window holding a hand warmer, looking at the scenery in the distance, not wanting to say a word to him.

There were carriages in front and behind the team, one for Zhu Zhenzhen and Zhang Jingjing, one for Zhu Yiyi, and one for Lin Feng and Lian Ye. In addition to cavalry, there were also infantry. The whole team was spectacular and huge, just like the emperor and empress visiting the people openly. Wherever they went, there were people watching, and some even shouted "Long live the emperor" and "Thousand years of life for the empress" three times.

Jiang Fenghua thought to himself: Originally they could have returned to Beijing in a low profile, but they didn't expect Xie Shang to make such a high profile, and they didn't know what his intentions were.

Here, Xie Shang suddenly sat down next to her after correcting the last memorial and asked softly, "What is Ruan Ruan reading?"

Jiang Fenghua turned his face away and said calmly, "I didn't see anything."

"Ruan Ruan, you must be hungry!" he tried to please her.

She said calmly, "I'm not hungry. If your majesty is hungry, just eat some cakes. It's not convenient on the road before we reach the next post station." He didn't want to eat at the same table with her. If you want to eat, go eat it, my beautiful Yiyi.

Jiang Fenghua was just going to take advantage of the fact that she was pregnant to do whatever she wanted. Every time in the past, she had to bow her head and coax him first. This time, she wanted to take revenge all at once. Even if she had to be insincere with him, she had to make enough money first.

She thought: The reason why he suddenly ignored Zhu Yiyi was because he still felt guilty about her. Once she entered the palace, Zhu Yiyi would replace Zhu Zhenzhen and become his new favorite.

There has been no movement from Censor Zhu for such a long time. What is Xie Shang planning?

Xie Shang raised his eyebrows and hugged her waist again, "Ruan Ruan is not hungry, but the child must be hungry too!"

"He's not hungry either."

She wanted to break free, but he held her tightly. Jiang Fenghua stopped struggling and asked, "What does the emperor want?"

"I want to have dinner with Ruan Ruan." He glanced outside. "It's the teahouse we passed by last time. We ate at his house when we went there, and now we're back, we're going to eat again."

She pried his hands apart and wiped her fingers with a handkerchief in front of him, meaning that the hand that applied medicine to Zhu Yiyi was even dirtier.

Without waiting for Xie Shang to respond, Jiang Fenghua said outside, "Stop the car."

The next moment the carriage stopped, and she had someone bring a stool and got off the carriage while lifting her skirt.

Xie Shang was still stunned on the spot. He recalled her actions just now and looked at his own slender white fingers. He also felt that they were a little dirty.

What will it take for Ruan Ruan to calm down?

Immediately afterwards, Xie Shang also followed her out of the carriage.

At this time, the other carriages also stopped, and Nanny Wang and others got off and hurried to serve.

There was a teahouse on the side of the road. When the owner of the teahouse saw Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang walking towards the shed, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "You humble people..."

Xie Shang waved his hand quickly, "No need to bow, go and do your thing. I'll just use your place to rest for a while and will be gone soon. Don't make a fuss."

"Yes."
