Chapter 1047 Sowing discord
A hint of regret flashed in Madam A Li's eyes. She said with concern, "A woman's skin is the most important thing. You must take good care of yourself in the future and don't get hurt again."
If Jiang Fenghua didn't know her true purpose, she would really believe that they were genuinely good to Aruan and treated her like family. That's how Aruan from Danji was deceived by them back then!
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Yes."
Lady A-Li had someone bring her a box of pills. "These pills have beauty and skin-nourishing effects. Starting today, take one pill every day to maintain your youth forever."
Seeing that it was exactly the same as the one Kui Gu had given her, Jiang Fenghua forced herself to eat one in front of Madam A Li, thinking she would spit it out after she left.
She said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Seeing that she ate obediently, Madam A-Li's eyes flashed with satisfaction: "Good girl, you don't have your mother's love, but your aunt will love you like a mother from now on."
"My aunt is so good to Aruan."
Ashina Xue also saw that she knew her mother would never want an imperfect body. At least Danji Aruan wouldn't be skinned alive now. For some reason, she suddenly felt relieved: "Aruan is new to the palace, I'll take her back to recover. It's so late, Mother, please get some rest!"
Ashina Xue took Danji Aruan's hand and left Jingyuan.
Once outside Jingyuan, she released Aruan's hand and instructed her, "From now on, you are not allowed to step into Jingyuan without my permission."
"Why?" Jiang Fenghua asked deliberately.
Ashina Xue didn't know why, but she should have been happy to have Danji Aruan, yet for a moment just now she felt a pang of reluctance.
She obeyed her mother's wishes and took the throne as queen. In secret, she developed medicines for her mother and even used living people for experiments. The Ashina tribe needed to have the ability to resist enemies in order to become stronger, since everyone was eyeing this position.
Jiang Fenghua added, "I noticed that my aunt is very weak and her body is cold. I was thinking of doing something for her. I know how to make medicinal cuisine, so I will make some medicinal cuisine for my aunt every day. My aunt's qi and blood are too weak."
“She doesn’t need it,” Ashina Xue said in a deep voice.
“How could she not use it? A person’s qi and blood are easily depleted once they are not in good condition. I’m worried that my aunt is weak…”
"Didn't you understand when I said no?" Ashina Xue suddenly got angry again. Her lips were no longer as dark purple as before, and her body seemed to be able to automatically purify the poison.
"Send Aruan back to the palace to rest." She gave the order to the guards and then turned and left.
Jiang Fenghua didn't say anything more. She really couldn't understand Ashina Xue. She was the one who helped her mother do evil. She seemed to still have a shred of conscience. She must be in great pain every day doing these evil things!
Jiang Fenghua said, "I will definitely make an antidote for the poison in Your Majesty's body as soon as possible."
She didn't know if Ashina Xue had heard her. She turned around and took a deep look in the direction of Jingyuan. There were very few guards inside, and even fewer guards serving Madam Ali. The maid named Kui Gu should be the one who served Madam Ali personally.
Those in the royal palace who knew the secrets of the Ashina family must all be their confidants!
For example, Xuan Yue's gaze towards the female ruler was unusual, and the female ruler seemed to have feelings for him as well.
There probably aren't many people who are truly loyal to them. Even if someone expresses loyalty, it's only because of their own interests. Once those interests disappear, or if Madam A-Li reveals her true colors in front of everyone, who will still support her?
What Jiang Fenghua didn't know was that Yinchuan Kingdom simply didn't have a suitable monarch to rule Yinchuan, and the people of Yinchuan were destined to never leave this land.
She said to the maid, "My stomach hurts and I need to go to the outhouse. Miss A-Xiang, could you show me the way?"
Ah Xiang said, "Second Princess, this way please."
Jiang Fenghua quickly retrieved the pills hidden under the tongue coating. She had another box on her. She knew that this box of medicine would not be life-threatening for Aruan, and Madam Ali would not want the skin of a dead person.
After that, she went to see Danjimai.
Upon entering the palace, Danji Mai joined the team researching the resurrection drug. He was thrilled to see such a large pharmaceutical workshop and devoted himself wholeheartedly to it.
He didn't even notice when Jiang Fenghua approached.
Danjimai was captivated by the red spider lily, while Jiang Fenghua was also carefully observing the plant, whose vitality had already withered away.
Baili Shang said that the red spider lilies in the Ghost Realm were planted by her, and that she was the one who gave them this name.
She asked, "What is Father looking at?"
Danji Mai was watching so intently that he was startled when he suddenly heard Aruan's voice, "Aruan, what brings you here?"
"Father, why aren't you resting so late?" Jiang Fenghua said deliberately. "Today I went to see the Queen's mother, Aunt A-Li. Father, you know her, right? She said she's a friend of the Queen's mother, and she treats her daughter like her own. She even made me the Second Princess!"
Danji Mai was overjoyed to hear that she had become the second princess and said, "Aruan, take good care of Madam. In the future, our Danji family will have a chance to join the ranks of noble families. The glory of our Danji family will all depend on you."
Jiang Fenghua took out a pill and handed it to Danjimai. "This was a gift from the Madam. She said it has the effect of prolonging life. I'll give it to Father. This pill was developed by the rebirth secretary of the Ashina tribe."
Upon hearing about the rebirth technique, Danji Mai immediately snatched the pill and held it in his hand. "Has Aruan seen Ashina Li?"
"I saw her." Jiang Fenghua added, "I never expected the Queen's mother to be so beautiful. She looks exactly like the Queen. It's truly enviable."
Lady A-Li's failure to ascend to the throne as a female ruler is likely related to some secret technique.
Danjimai was somewhat puzzled. "If you do the math, Ashina Li is almost fifty years old. Her first husband was your mother's cousin, but he died. Later, she remarried. In terms of beauty, she is not even a tenth as beautiful as your mother. How beautiful can she be at this age? She has long since lost her beauty."
Danji Mai mentioned that Aruan's mother was still somewhat proud, but unfortunately, they killed her.
Jiang Fenghua coaxed Danji Mai, "Father, I've thought it through. It turns out that the Ashina tribe's rebirth secret technique is not just a rumor, but a reality. Aunt Ali looks even younger than the Queen. Father, do you think it's related to the secret technique? She lives alone in Jingyuan, and there aren't many maids serving her there."
Danjimai was itching to try the secret technique. After entering the palace, he discussed with the Queen about developing a drug to control people's minds and create an indestructible elite force for the Ashina tribe.
Ashina Xue also promised to tell him the secret of rebirth, but after observing him around, he didn't believe Ashina Xue would keep her word.
"Will Aruan be able to see Madam Ali?"
“Yes!” Jiang Fenghua said, “Father doesn’t believe his daughter.”
“Now it’s just the two of us, father and daughter, relying on each other for survival. How could your father not believe you?” Danji Mai said, “Your father has something for you to do. If you succeed, your father will take you away from here… In the future, the status of our Danji family will definitely be higher than that of the Baili family.”
