Chapter 809 Jiang Fenghua's Doubts
Jiang Fenghua led the two people to greet them, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Xie Shang lifted Jiang Fenghua's hand and said to the other two, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Jing and Gao Qingtong said in unison.
Xie Shang helped the queen to sit on the main seat. "The queen is not in good health and should rest more. Let Concubine Gao and Concubine Song take care of the trivial matters in the palace."
"I just caught a cold, it's not a serious illness." Jiang Fenghua added, "Concubine Song Shu and Concubine Gao came for business. A lot of things happened in the palace a few days ago. They proposed that the harem organize the wives of the ministers in the court to pray for the Great Zhou Kingdom. The emperor came while they were discussing this."
Xie Shang looked at the two of them with a gratified expression on his face. "The ministers also proposed this during the morning court today. Since I ascended the throne, I have been busy with state affairs. I should indeed hold a ceremony to worship the heavens and pray for the gods to bless my great Zhou Dynasty. I didn't expect that the concubines in the harem would also think of this."
Song Jing smiled and said, "This is a custom in my hometown. Recently, there have been many misfortunes in the palace. The concubines have met with accidents one after another, and the Queen has been attacked by an assassin. I want to pray for the Queen and pray to God to bless her with safety and success."
Xie Shang said, "Shufei is thoughtful."
Song Jing added: "It's what I should do. Only when the queen is well can I do better."
Xie Shang then said to Gao Qingtong, "Regarding the matter of the harem taking the lead in praying for blessings, let Concubine Gao and Concubine Song take care of it together. The Queen is not feeling well, so don't overwork yourself. Of course, all matters still need the Queen's approval before we can make a decision. At that time, the Queen and I will lead all the officials to pray for the Great Zhou together, and the concubines in the harem will also participate."
The two said in unison: "I will take my leave."
Xie Shang said directly: "Let's go and prepare!"
The two left again. Song Jing looked at the emperor reluctantly and followed Gao Qingtong away.
Jiang Fenghua had a sore throat and still felt uncomfortable after taking the medicine. He didn't want to talk to Xie Shang.
Xie Shang said: "I will help you go back to the bedroom to rest!"
"I have slept for a whole day and night. I don't want to sleep anymore. I'd better go and read with the children for a while!"
Xie Shang hugged her in his arms and said, "I have already told them not to bother you. Just focus on recuperating during this time."
Without waiting for Jiang Fenghua to say anything, Xie Shang picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom.
The palace maids and eunuchs serving nearby all averted their eyes when they saw this.
Jiang Fenghua could see the smiles on their lips. She said, "This is in Kunning Palace. I can walk back by myself. I don't want to sleep. I want to move my body."
"You are already so sick, you need to rest more so that you can get better quickly." Xie Shang had been busy all morning and wanted to take a break: "I haven't had a good rest these days. I was dealing with the pile of memorials all day yesterday. I will accompany you to rest for a while."
He put Jiang Fenghua on the bed and asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"
Jiang Fenghua saw that his eye sockets were dark and there were red bloodshot in his eyes. Did Xie Shang really not get enough rest?
She said, "Drink it."
"Your throat must be hurting!" He took out a throat-soothing pill from his arms, "I asked Doctor Mei to get this for you. Take one and you'll feel better."
Jiang Fenghua looked at the brown pill and smelled it. "It's very bitter! I won't eat it."
"I've tried it, it's not bitter, it gives you a cool feeling in your throat, it's good for your throat." He pinched the pill and fed it to Jiang Fenghua's mouth, "I didn't lie to you."
Jiang Fenghua felt very bitter at first sight. She closed her mouth tightly and shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want to eat it."
Xie Shang swallowed the pill into his mouth, "It's really not bitter. I'll eat it for you to see."
Jiang Fenghua said: "You are not sick, what medicine did you take? Spit it out quickly. This is medicine, you think it is candy!"
Xie Shang raised his lips into a charming smile, and he held Jiang Fenghua and kissed her lips.
Jiang Fenghua was stunned and quickly avoided his touch, "I will pass the disease to you, don't mess around."
"Seeing Ruan Ruan in pain, I feel bad too." He didn't care if he got sick or not. "If I get sick, I will accompany Ruan Ruan to take medicine together."
Jiang Fenghua paused, staring at his handsome face with her clear big eyes. His eyes were full of sincerity and his face was full of smiles, as if he really loved her.
"Thank you." She said suddenly.
Xie Shang replied softly, "Yeah!"
"Will I ever call you by your name like this before?"
The smile on Xie Shang's lips disappeared. She had never called him like that before. She always addressed him respectfully in a very formal manner, but she would never call him by his name in a friendly manner.
The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, "Yes! Not only do you call me by my name, you also call me husband. I haven't heard Ruan Ruan call husband for a long time. Madam, call husband and let me hear it."
Jiang Fenghua hooked her arms around his neck, leaned close to his ear and whispered "husband".
Xie Shang was stunned. At this moment, her eyes were full of seductiveness, her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were shy and charming. He said, "Take the medicine first and cure the disease."
He turned around and took another pill, his eyes instantly reddened, "This medicine is indeed very effective. I feel my throat is more comfortable. Imperial Doctor Mei said that if healthy people hold one or two pills in their mouths, it can also help clear their throats. You should try it."
Jiang Fenghua took the medicine and fed it into her mouth. After a while, she felt a cool feeling enveloping her throat. "Your Majesty really didn't lie to me. It tastes good."
Xie Shang said as if he was coaxing a child, "Take the medicine and your illness will be cured."
"Your Majesty, please sleep with me for another night!"
"Okay." He hugged Jiang Fenghua's slender waist and slowly fell asleep.
A smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She knew he was lying. Nanny Wang had said that she was the most polite and sensible person and would never make a mistake. If she called Xie Shang by his name, Empress Dowager Cheng would seize her mistake and use it to punish her, but she had never been punished by Empress Dowager Cheng.
She knew very well that marrying into the royal family would mean living on thin ice. Besides, Xie Shang already had someone in his heart at that time, and she was not the first woman he loved.
They all knew her secret, except for herself.
Finally, Jiang Fenghua coaxed Xie Shang to sleep before tiptoeing out of bed.
Wu Xin was waiting outside the door, and when he saw her come out, he whispered, "Is the emperor asleep?"
"He's asleep and won't wake up for a while." Jiang Fenghua fed him some sleeping pills.
At this time, Hongxiu and Lianye were also coaxing the children to take a nap, so they didn't pay any attention to her for the time being.
In fact, when she found out that everyone was hiding something from her, she looked for Wuxin, because Wuxin was different from them. He was absolutely loyal to her. Wuxin said this himself.
Wuxin told her how they met, and she even told Wuxin some things that they both found incredible.
She didn't believe that she had the ability to predict the future, but Wuxin's experience told her that her words did help Wuxin gain a foothold in the palace and gain the appreciation of the chief eunuch.
She was only five years old at that time! She felt it was strange that he had such a calculation and scheme.
There was nothing wrong with her body, and she couldn't remember anything from the past. There was still nothing in her mind. She was able to piece together her complete memory entirely by relying on them to tell her bit by bit and help her recall.
Jiang Fenghua had sensed something was wrong a long time ago, because she seemed to have predicted everything they told her. Ever since she married Xie Shang, everything had gone smoothly for her.
