Chapter 940 Gongsun Lan
At this moment, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps and noise outside the door.
Soon, Xie Shang came in with Jiang Jinyan, Xiao Yu and others. Following them came Gongsun Ling and a woman who was dressed shabbily like a beggar.
Without waiting for Xie Shang to introduce himself, the woman hurriedly walked up to Jiang Fenghua. She stared at Jiang Fenghua again and again, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, Guining Pills do have the effect of causing temporary amnesia, but it will lose its effect over time. The flower between her eyebrows is not due to the antidote. It's all a coincidence."
Aoxue asked, "Master, why do you say that? Didn't you say there's an antidote for Guining Pills?"
Gongsun Lan leaned close to Aoxue's ear and whispered, "The purpose of my master creating the Guining Pill is to eliminate people's pain and make them forget their troubles. It cannot completely erase memories, nor has an antidote been created. I said this in the beginning to make more money."
Aoxue was very upset. When did the master become so obsessed with money?
Only then did Jiang Fenghua realize who the woman in front of her was, dressed like a beggar and unable to tell her real appearance. She was very close to them and naturally heard what Master Aoxue said.
Jiang Fenghua thought to herself: Is her master short of money?
Xie Shang was puzzled and asked, "Lanlan means that the flower between the Queen's eyebrows is not caused by the Guining Pill."
If it wasn't Guining Pill, could it be true as Xiao Chuanyun said, that Ruan Ruan was the reincarnation of the Queen of Yinchuan? The mark between her eyebrows was the best proof.
Gongsun Lan stared at the flower ornament between her eyebrows and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "The flower between the Empress's eyebrows is called Lycoris radiata, also known as the other shore flower. It grows in the Ghost Realm. According to legend, only the dead can go to the Ghost Realm."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed a look of horror. "Isn't hell the place where only the dead can go?"
Gongsun Lan added, "Another explanation is that all the living people who went there became dead, and no one has ever walked out alive."
"It matches the clues I've found over the years." Xiao Shang suddenly became excited and said to Gongsun Lan, "Old woman, where did you hear this legend? It turns out that the ruins of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom are called the Ghost Realm. No living person can walk out of there. What if they are dead? Living people become ghosts after death, and ghosts walk out of there and become human again. I am a living example."
Xiao Shang became more and more excited as he spoke, "Queen Jiang, you heard me, I didn't lie to you. If you reach the ghost realm, you can come back to life whenever you want."
Jiang Fenghua was very upset. It was not like this when she was reborn. When she opened her eyes after death, she turned into her childhood appearance. She had been to the ghost realm and had never heard of it.
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Could it be that after King Bei Shang died, he turned into a ghost and went to the Ghost Realm?"
Xiao Shang paused, "No, I didn't die at all. How could I become a ghost? I was reading a book, and then I fell asleep and woke up as a different person. I don't know why this happened. The only thing that can explain this strange phenomenon is the ancient country of Yinchuan, which appeared more than a thousand years ago, because only they have the method to bring the dead back to life."
Xiao Shang made no secret of his origins: "Grandma, since you know about the Ghost Realm, you must know about the ancient country of Yinchuan!"
No one had any thoughts about this kind of thing because they didn't dare to believe it. If it wasn't happening around them, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
When Gongsun Lan heard someone calling her "grandma," her eyes turned green with anger. "Who are you calling grandma? Am I that old?"
Xiao Shang was stunned. With the way she was dressed and the dark and cracked skin on her body, wasn't she an old woman?
Xiao Shang finally found someone who understood. He almost flattered her, "Junior Xiao Shang, may I know your name, Grandma? Besides the Ghost Realm, do you know anything else?"
Gongsun Lan saw him chained up, "He's the man you mentioned who has magic. He can bewitch people's minds. I see how stupid he is."
Gongsun Ling said: "Is he stupid? He is indeed a little stupid." The emperor also said that he would conquer the Great Zhou in a few decades. Could it be that they were scaring themselves?
Xiao Shang took the initiative to admit: "To be honest, Grandma, I really don't know any magic. I just used some external things to confuse their consciousness. It's easy for others to see through it. Grandma, can you tell me where the ghost realm is?"
Gongsun Lan said, "I know, but I will tell you where the ghost realm is."
She was angry. How could this man be so tactless as to call her mother-in-law?
Jiang Fenghua also found it funny. Gongsun Lan was dressed in rags. She must have just returned from outside and hadn't changed her clothes yet.
Xie Shang pulled Gongsun Lan aside, "Lanlan..."
Jiang Fenghua saw that the two had a close relationship, not like a king and his subject, not like friends, and not like lovers with feelings for each other, but Xie Shang called her "Lanlan", such an intimate name was not something that someone like Xie Shang would call out.
Aoxue then introduced Jiang Fenghua, "Your Majesty, don't worry about the relationship between my master and the Emperor. My master has always been a free-spirited person. She doesn't like being constrained and is used to being alone. She has traveled all over the world and is only interested in developing medicines and medical skills."
"How old is she?" Jiang Fenghua asked.
Aoxue said: "She is twenty-five years old."
Jiang Fenghua was surprised that she had traveled all over the world at the age of 25. Aoxue was not young either, and her master was only a few years older than her. This...
Aoxue explained, "Your Majesty, don't look at us just because we are about the same age. My master is very good. Her medical skills are very strong and her talent is extremely high. Many elderly doctors in the folk today can't compare to her."
Jiang Fenghua certainly knew that the older the doctor was, the better his medical skills were. After all, medical skills mostly depended on experience and knowledge. Gongsun Lan was obviously of little experience at her age, not to mention that she was a woman.
A female doctor, who is 25 years old and doesn't marry, but instead takes care of the husband and children, runs around outside all day long. She even dares to go to a place like the snowy mountains alone. Isn't she afraid of dying there?
Jiang Fenghua stared at the backs of Gongsun Lan and Xie Shang and fell into deep thought. It was rare for her to see Xie Shang so relaxed.
Jiang Jinyan walked to Jiang Fenghua's side, his eyes full of worry. The emperor had just come down from the Golden Throne Hall to hold court. He and Xiao Yu were about to follow the emperor to the imperial study to discuss state affairs when Gongsun Ling and Gongsun Lan suddenly entered the palace. At that moment, the emperor was the first to rush forward with a smile on his face, and the first thing he said was "Lanlan, you're back."
Gongsun Lan did not perform the ritual of monarch and subject, and replied very naturally, "I am back. I didn't come back even when the emperor ascended the throne. This is a gift for the emperor."
She handed the emperor a box containing something that looked like an exquisite jade stone, which the emperor placed carefully in his purse.
I don’t know why the emperor suddenly pulled Gongsun Lan aside and said something in secret that Ruan Ruan must not know.
Jiang Fenghua smiled indifferently. She had never seen Gongsun Lan in her previous life, and she didn't even know such a person existed. She was also sure that Gongsun Lan was not in Xie Shang's harem.
