Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought, and their moods seemed to be changing as they each tried to find a breakthrough from their dreams.

She then said to Feng Qingyu, "In the valley we went to with my grandfather, there was a woman's voice. When we left, I thought I saw blooming red spider lilies, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. I must have entered an illusion again. This time, I don't know if it was the Queen or Danji Aruan who warned me not to go in, saying there was danger."

“My maternal grandfather said that was the Ghost Realm. I always thought the Ghost Realm was in Xichuan. I didn’t expect it to be so close to Red Maple City.”

Feng Qingyu said, "I heard it too, Jin Yan heard it too, and the old man heard it too. Why did Ruan Ruan pull Jin Yan away back then? Do you suspect that the voice was Zhang Yumo?"

Jiang Fenghua was thinking of Danji Aruan because she had saved Aruan and wanted to change her fate. If she hadn't saved her, Baili Shang would have used the love potion to cure Danji Aruan in the cave.

Jiang Fenghua said, "It does look somewhat similar."

Jiang Jinyan was there before she dared to speak, because it did sound somewhat like Zhang Yumo's voice. She was just wondering why Zhang Yumo's voice could be heard when they had clearly left Xichuan. Could it be that they were actually still in Xichuan?

Jiang Fenghua knew Jiang Jinyan well; no matter what, he would go to save Zhang Yumo. She was afraid he would just go and die in vain.

"You've found the Ghost Realm?" Gongsun Lan's eyes gleamed. "Your Majesty, please explain clearly, what kind of valley is it, and why did Your Majesty go to the valley?"

Jiang Fenghua briefly recounted what had happened, then added, "A thousand years ago in Licheng, there was a cave with a clear spring inside. I heard the sound of flowing water. I went inside in my dream, but I didn't pay attention to my surroundings at the time. I didn't know the way at all. Baili Shang led me the way. If Xie Shang were in Baili Shang's dream, he might recognize me. But the key is that he didn't enter the dream and is still unconscious."

Xiao Yu then realized that this was the reason Jiang Fenghua changed Aruan's fate. He had entered a fake dream, but why did he have to see Baili Ayu and Danji Aruan getting married a thousand years ago?

He said, "I remember now. The palace in Xichuan was actually built by the Baili family. The Baili family has long wanted to replace the Queen. Although I did not enter the underground palace, the layout outside is the same as that of the Baili family."

"In other words, the palace in Xichuan is not the royal palace of the Ashina tribe." Gongsun Lan quickly took out the paper and pen she carried with her to write down this information: "We may still be in Licheng now, which is actually Licheng a thousand years ago."

“Danjimai has never actually left Licheng.” Jiang Fenghua continued, “That valley is the one where Baili Shang rescued me. We’ve been going around in circles and are still in Licheng. We haven’t really left.”

Xiao Yu reminded him, "Licheng is also part of Yinchuan Kingdom. Yinchuan Kingdom existed for a very short time, only a little over ten years."

Gongsun Lan said, "Back then, both the Muqi family and the Baili family wanted the rebirth technique. Since Danji Mai was able to collude with the other two major families, it means that not only he had the secret technique, but the other two major families also had it. In Lord Xiao's dream, Baili Ayu later became the city lord. Did he really only care about love and never think about becoming the king of Yinchuan? If he was only focused on love, why didn't he take Danji Aruan and run away? In the end, he couldn't let go of power."

Xiao Yu thought that Gongsun Lan was right, everyone was impure, so what if Aruan married him? In the end, the result would still be the same.

He suddenly understood Jiang Fenghua and felt ashamed of what he had said.

When Jiang Fenghua mentioned that Baili Shang had saved Danji Aruan, her eyes suddenly lit up. Baili Shang had always protected Danji Aruan without asking for anything in return, and she must have remembered that!

A moment later, Xiao Yu lost control of his emotions again. It felt as if a million ants were gnawing at his body, causing him unbearable pain.

He gritted his teeth to control his emotions, and the veins on his neck bulged.

Jiang Fenghua asked, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu roared, "Get out! All of you get out!"

Jiang Fenghua anxiously called Gongsun Lan, only to see Feng Qingyu also struggling desperately to break free of the ropes, crying, "Let me go!"

Gongsun Lan was helpless against them, so Jiang Fenghua made a quick decision: "Let's knock them out first!"

The two women showed no mercy, knocking them unconscious. To prevent them from biting off their own tongues, they stuffed their mouths with wads of cloth and tightened the ropes binding them.

Just then, a guard came in to report, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ge, Lord Jiang, and Lord Long have led their men to attack Xichuan. Old Master Feng has also gone with them. Old Master Feng sent me to inform Your Majesty."

Jiang Fenghua still didn't know if Mr. Ge could succeed. She was still worried when she thought of what Xiao Yu had said. She said, "Can Lanlan make a highly toxic poison? We need to find a way to deal with the man-eating crows as soon as possible."

Gongsun Lan took out a small bamboo bucket from her backpack.

Jiang Fenghua wanted to take a look, "What is this?"

Gongsun Lan quickly put it away, saying, "Don't touch it. The things inside are highly poisonous. If you get bitten, you'll die instantly from the poison."

"Is it that powerful?" Jiang Fenghua didn't know if it could poison the crows kept in the Xichuan Palace, but she didn't expect Gongsun Lan to actually get his hands on the poison.

Gongsun Lan said, "Poisonous creatures are easy to find in Xichuan. I can develop a poison tonight. It can kill not only one cow, but even ten cows without any problem."

Jiang Fenghua had someone guard Xiao Yu and Feng Qingyu before going to Xie Shang's room.

She asked, "Is Aoxue not here?"

The guard replied, "Miss Aoxue went to Xichuan with Mr. Ge."

Jiang Fenghua knew that Ao Xue wanted to avenge Ye Ying. She herself probably couldn't tell whether her feelings for Ye Ying were love or familial affection. Losing Ye Ying twice had already exhausted her.

She said to the guards, "Go and call Aoxue back. It's not her turn to go to the battlefield."

At this moment, Shangguan Li led his men on patrol and bowed to Jiang Fenghua, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."

"Why didn't you stop Aoxue?" Jiang Fenghua knew that Shangguan Li liked Aoxue.

Shangguan Li was also helpless. "I have to stay here to protect Your Majesty's safety. Miss Aoxue went with the brothers of the Hidden God Camp. They will protect her well. Besides, it's not my place to interfere."

"Did Aoxue say something to you?" Jiang Fenghua asked.

Shangguan Li quickly replied, "No, Aoxue didn't say anything to me."

He didn't want to talk about it, and Jiang Fenghua didn't force him. She wouldn't interfere in other people's affairs anymore, and she was also very saddened by Ye Ying's death.

Soon, news came from the front lines that Mr. Ge's artillery had not destroyed Xichuan. Yan Dinghai, along with the assassins from the Di Sha Sect, had made prior arrangements and repelled the Shenyin Camp, resulting in many casualties.

When he met his old friend, Ge Ming was defeated, which made him lose face.
