Chapter 950 A Different Xie Shang
Gongsun Lan saw that she was frowning and silent. Aoxue was also furious. Gongsun Lan asked Aoxue, "What happened to the Queen?"
"Master, don't ask anymore. The Queen doesn't allow us to tell." Aoxue said directly.
Gongsun Lan was furious. Her disciple actually listened to the Queen and said, "You guys went to find the Emperor. It has something to do with him!"
Aoxue wanted to say "yes", but the Queen glanced at her and she quickly stepped aside. She only heard Jiang Fenghua say, "Miss Gongsun..."
"If the Queen doesn't mind, you can call me Lanlan. I always feel disturbed when I live in the Queen's palace. The Queen always calls me Miss Gongsun, which always seems strange." Gongsun Lan was not at all picky. "Please consider that my disciple is the Queen's guard. If you have anything to ask the Emperor, you can ask it directly. Don't ask that pretentious and scheming Su Tingwan."
Jiang Fenghua paused and looked at Aoxue again. Your master still doesn’t know that Su Tingwan is dead?
Aoxue did not say it, because her master had not come to Shengjing for several years. Besides, she was traveling outside all year round and was only interested in medicinal herbs. She didn't even know that her master knew Su Tingwan.
At this moment, Hongxiu hurried over with a secret letter, "Madam, there is an urgent message from Miss Yu."
Jiang Fenghua took the letter and opened it to read the contents. Not only did Yuzhou suffer from floods, but also landslides, and many people died. After Lin Yu left the capital, he met the fleeing victims and realized that the disaster was actually much more serious than what was reported to Xie Shangyu. Now Yuzhou is in urgent need of doctors and medicinal materials. Because Shengjing has been experiencing heavy rains, the supplies that Lin Yu collected overnight cannot be delivered to the disaster area.
Hongxiu had no idea what was written on the letter. She hurried over after receiving it, her clothes mostly wet. "What happened? Miss Yu has only been out of the capital for a short time!"
Jiang Fenghua glanced at the sky outside the window, his eyes full of worry. When would the rain stop? In such bad weather, even if there were relief supplies, they could not be transported out!
In such weather, Jiang Jinyan probably has no way to deal with it!
Gongsun Lan saw the master and servant whispering to each other, frowning, and then said, "Mr. Xiao is planning to leave the capital for the Ghost Realm. I'm going too. This matter is also related to the Queen. The Queen, please come with us!"
"It's raining so hard, how are you going, Miss Lanlan?" Jiang Fenghua said.
"I've been through this before, it's okay, I'm used to it." Gongsun Lan said.
Jiang Fenghua was puzzled. "Knife falling? Has a knife ever fallen from the sky? When did it happen?"
"You haven't seen ice knives, have you?! That year in the Northwest Arctic... heavy snow blocked the roads and many people froze to death. The ice on the road was longer and sharper than knives. So many people died because of it. It was almost impossible to move forward." Gongsun Lan talked about the snow disaster she encountered when she went to the Northwest Arctic.
Jiang Fenghua heard this and said, "The Northern Xiao Kingdom will also encounter such a great disaster! Xiao Shang's indifferent and nonchalant look shows that he has never experienced the suffering of natural disasters, so he doesn't care about the suffering of the people of the Great Zhou."
Jiang Fenghua continued, "I just wanted to ask Miss Lanlan about the situation outside. Miss Lanlan has been traveling all year round and has seen a lot. She must know a lot of medicine dealers! In weather like this, can you contact a medicine dealer? The price is negotiable."
Gongsun Lan thought for a moment and said, "I came from Jiangnan, not directly from the snow-capped mountains. It hasn't rained in Jiangnan, and the weather there is good. There shouldn't be a shortage of food and medicine. The court will also mobilize supplies from areas not affected by the disaster. The Queen doesn't need to worry too much. These matters are the Emperor's concern. I believe he will handle them well."
Jiang Fenghua was still very confused about the relationship between Gongsun Lan and Xie Shang. Did she really trust Xie Shang to handle such a serious natural disaster?
Gongsun Lan explained, "My brother, the emperor, and I have known each other since we were very young. My father said that he was the one who witnessed my birth."
Jiang Fenghua's face was full of embarrassment. Xie Shang watched her being born, and it felt like a father watching his daughter being born. No wonder Xie Shang was so doting on Gongsun Lan.
"After I came into this world, apart from the midwife who picked me up at birth, the emperor was the first person to hold me. At that time, I was still a baby, and he was only six or seven years old!" Gongsun Lan's tone did not sound like he was showing off, but just recounting their childhood stories.
Jiang Fenghua listened quietly, not feeling unhappy, but rather very strange. "Even if the emperor was only six or seven years old at the time, he was still a man. How could he be around when your mother gave birth to you?"
Gongsun Lan said, "My eldest brother is here too. Besides him, there are other secret guards."
"My father was also a member of the Imperial Secret Guard, but he was a doctor. He wasn't with my mother when she passed away. I was born during a difficult labor, and I haven't seen her since I was a child. It was because of me that she passed away, a life for another. My mother's name was Lan'er, so in order to prolong her life, I'm called Gongsun Lan.
It is precisely because Xie Shang saved my mother when she gave birth to me. Without him, my mother and I would have died, so he is like my adoptive parent!"
When Jiang Fenghua heard the words "reborn" parents, he chuckled, "Miss Lanlan's words are really interesting."
Gongsun Lan asked, "Does the Queen suspect that the relationship between the Emperor and me is not simple?"
Jiang Fenghua quickly denied: "No." She felt a little guilty.
"Su Tingwan used to be suspicious and often got angry and jealous about it. However, the Emperor probably treated me as his younger sister, so no matter how angry she was, he ignored her."
Jiang Fenghua was puzzled: "He loves Su Tingwan so much, shouldn't he keep his distance from you for her?"
"Love?" When Gongsun Lan heard this word, she felt that Jiang Fenghua didn't understand Xie Shang.
"Isn't it?" Jiang Fenghua said.
"The Su family held military power at the time. Who wouldn't want that kind of power? The Su family's support was very beneficial to him. Su Tingwan was acting a bit rash, so he let her do what she wanted. She treated him as love, and he treated her as a pawn to gain military power." Gongsun Lan spoke without reservation. "Your Majesty, you should know that a prince sent to the Hidden God Camp for training is destined to be the next emperor. How could he develop feelings for a woman if he was the future emperor?"
"You mean that the late emperor had already chosen the heir to the throne, and that was Xie Shang." Jiang Fenghua always thought that the late emperor chose Xie Shang to be emperor because of his later achievements, but he didn't expect that he was chosen when he was only a few years old.
Gongsun Lan grew up in the Shenyin Camp, but she is not a member of the Shenyin Camp. She wants to be a free bird. It should be said that she wants to inherit her mother's will and become an unrestrained doctor.
She had never seen her mother, but her mother died giving birth to her. Women face a very dangerous situation when giving birth, so she is actually a gynecological expert.
