Chapter 981: Chapter 781: She’s Not the Nan Feng from Before (2)

The Emperor looked at Mo Wenxuan, his eyes revealing a trace of incredulity, "You’re saying she used to be a fool?"

"Yes, truly a simpleton without a complete mind, who couldn’t even speak clearly."

Mo Wenxuan then fell into deep thought.

He suddenly remembered a story he had heard as a child, it seemed to have been told by his mother, that there were rumors about his grandmother having had a similar experience, once a fool, later nearly bullied to death, and thereafter she seemed to become a completely different person.

That Nan Feng...

If she were the same, then her experience would resemble that of his grandmother.

The Emperor dared not come to a conclusion.

...

Inside Cining Palace, the Emperor was having dinner with the Dowager Empress.

The Dowager Empress had also heard about Nan Feng recently and naturally wanted to inquire, "How do you plan to deal with Nangong Ye and Nan Feng, these two people?"

The Emperor spoke, "Your son has his own conclusions."

The Dowager Empress smiled faintly, "Conclusions? I think you’re neither willing to part with Nan Feng, nor have the heart to hand over Nangong Ye to Dashun, right?"

"Mother, the matter is not yet concluded, your son cannot rashly make a decision."

"You are the Emperor, you must come to a conclusion sooner, unless you want the hard-won northern territories to fall into disarray again."

"The north was recaptured by Nangong Ye, if I were to hand him over, how could I justify it to the people?"

"As a General, it was his duty to recapture the north, but now the person stirring up trouble is his wife, if he is sensible, he should hand over that woman Nan Feng, frivolous as she is, it’s all because of her that the strife between our two nations began."

The Emperor knew that the Dowager Empress loathed Nan Feng, always wanted to see her dead, so he responded, "Mother, please have your meal first, this matter will be dealt with by your son."

Seeing that the Emperor was unwilling to talk more about it, the Dowager Empress did not press further, and could only eat her meal in silence.

The Emperor began to change the subject, "Mother, there is one other thing that your son would like to ask. I’ve heard some stories about my grandmother from outside the Palace."

"Queen Ning Shu?" The Dowager Empress was slightly surprised, as that would be her mother-in-law.

"Your son heard that Queen Ning Shu used to be a fool, and then she suddenly got better after falling seriously ill."

The Dowager Empress asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Your son just suddenly thought of it and wished to inquire. Mother has spent more time with Great-Grandmother, may I know what you think about this matter?"

Looking at the Emperor with a smile, the Dowager Empress said, "You’re now investigating Nan Feng’s past, so you remembered your Great-Grandmother, who had a similar history, didn’t you? Back then, there were a few theories from the Ministers, one was that your Great-Grandmother had been possessed by a spirit, her body was still hers, but the soul was no longer hers. Another theory was that someone else had taken her place, but at the time, the Minister’s family had verified that the birthmarks on your Great-Grandmother’s body were all the same as before, it was impossible that she had been replaced, so she must have been possessed."

After some thought the Emperor said, "Mother, there are no such things as spirits in this world, your son does not believe this theory."

"If you don’t believe it, you can have the magicians from the Qintian Bureau verify it. Magicians know the past and the future and can judge a person’s past and present. Just ask and you’ll know. If you’re embarrassed to go, I can do it for you. I suspect the spirit that once possessed Nan Feng’s body came from Dashun, having just attached itself to Nan Feng. All you need to do is drive away the spirit."

"Mother, that’s out of the question!" The Emperor suddenly stood up, no longer interested in eating, "Please don’t interfere in this matter, your son will settle it."
