Chapter 182 Who is it?
Jiang Wanyue just said it casually.
"Please persuade Auntie more. If that doesn't work, take her out for a walk more often. Oh, and go to my cousin's house more often to let her persuade her."
Shen nodded: "I know, besides, your grandfather is still here!"
Jiang Wanyue couldn't help laughing.
My grandfather has been very serious since he was a child. The brothers in the family are afraid of him, and the cousins in the Feng family are even more afraid of him. When they see my grandfather, they are like mice seeing a cat.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time before Jiang Wanyue sent Shen away.
After seeing Shen off, Jiang Wanyue returned to Liangyi Hall and saw Eunuch Wang pacing back and forth outside the hall door, looking around from time to time.
Seeing her appear, Eunuch Wang ran over happily.
"Your Majesty is finally back. I have finally waited for you. The Emperor has asked about you several times."
Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows.
"Didn't I send a message to the emperor? I have to spend lunch with my mother and the others, and I won't be back. Didn't the emperor receive it?"
Li Ce must have received it. Wang Jun was just looking for an excuse to ask about that matter.
Jiang Wanyue was certainly aware of this.
She said this on purpose just to see Wang Jun's reaction.
Wang Jun was thick-skinned and didn't look embarrassed at all. He said with a smile.
"Isn't it that the Emperor has the Madam in his heart and is always thinking about her? That's why I came to take a look. Did the Madam send Madam Jiang out of the palace just now?"
Jiang Wanyue smiled.
"Yes, it's a pity that Eunuch Wang was not here just now. If you were here, you could send him off for me."
"Your Highness, you are joking. How can an old slave with such a lowly body do anything for you?"
Wang Jun's attitude was very humble.
Jiang Wanyue's smile deepened.
"Eunuch Wang, you are too self-deprecating. With your talent, it is really a waste of your talent to be confined to a small corner."
"To hear your words, my lady, I will have no regrets even if I die."
The two of them were talking back and forth, seemingly just chatting casually, but in fact it was a test and response.
Wang Jun got the answer he wanted, and he was satisfied, and the smile on his face became more genuine.
The two sides have temporarily reached a cooperation.
For Jiang Wanyue, Wang Jun’s matter was not urgent. She was more concerned about the news from Qixia.
Therefore, after Wang Jun left, Jiang Wanyue went back to Liangyi Palace to change her clothes and found an excuse to go to the East Palace.
Seeing Qixia in the palace was too conspicuous, and there were eunuchs and guards everywhere, so it was not easy to avoid them. On the contrary, the East Palace was not crowded now that they had all moved in, and the guards had basically been transferred away, leaving only a few guards guarding the gate.
Jiang Wanyue went to Yichun Palace where she lived before. Xiuchun had already arrived with Qixia.
Xiuchun went there on horseback, which was much faster than traveling by carriage.
Qixia was injured and was bumpy all the way with Xiuchun on horseback. She almost fell apart. After arriving, she vomited for a long time.
As soon as Jiang Wanyue entered the room, she saw her lying on the bamboo couch with a pale face and closed eyes, looking like she was half dead.
"She was injured so badly? Did those nuns at Tianfu Temple want to kill her?"
Jiang Wanyue turned and asked Xiuchun.
Xiuchun explained hurriedly: "I was in a hurry to get on the road and didn't pay attention to the princess. I just checked her pulse and she will be fine after a rest."
Jiang Wanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qixia can't die now.
She walked forward, pulled over a round stool and sat down.
Qixia opened her eyes when she heard the noise, and when she saw it was her, her eyes lit up.
"Qixia greets Her Majesty the Queen. Please forgive Qixia for being disrespectful. Qixia is too weak to stand up."
Jiang Wanyue waved her hand.
"Let's not beat around the bush. You sent someone to tell me that you wanted to see me. Now that you've seen me, just tell me what you want to say."
Qixia bit her lips, and the originally bloodless lips turned a bright red after she bit them.
"I just want to confirm whether Concubine Rong really gave birth to a daughter?"
Jiang Wanyue's eyebrows twitched, and she directly discovered her thoughts.
"It's true that she's a daughter. If you're counting on her to give birth to a son to inherit the throne, you can give up now."
Qixia's expression changed.
She immediately gave a wry smile.
"It seems that nothing can be hidden from you. I did have such thoughts before. To be honest, those who claimed to be my father's old subordinates also said such things when they found me."
Jiang Wanyue sat up straighter.
"You have been patient in Tianfu Temple until now just to wait for your mother to give birth? The imperial doctors all said that she was pregnant with a son. I am not surprised that you would think too much. But it is strange that there are people in the court who are thinking about it. Even if your mother really gave birth to a son, we don't know if the child can be raised. Even if they want to plot something, it is too early. I am afraid that they want to use this child to do something else!"
Qixia pursed her lips and said, "I just figured it out recently. Those people used my father's name as a pretext to avenge him, but I was bullied like that in the temple, but they turned a blind eye. Instead, it was you, Your Majesty, who sent people to visit me."
Qixia let out a breath, her eyes a little red.
"I have asked the maids who stayed to take care of me these past two days. The imperial concubine has become the imperial concubine and has let go of her power. Why should those people be afraid?"
She clenched her fists.
Jiang Wanyue understood.
"Just figure it out."
"So, I am very grateful to you, Madam. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to figure this out."
Qixia looked slightly relaxed, with her head lowered and a faint smile on her face.
She looks very much like Wei Fuxue of the past.
After all, they are mother and daughter, and Qixia looks about 70% like her mother. However, their personalities are very different.
"How did those people contact you? Was it just to deliver a letter? When was the earliest time?"
Jiang Wanyue asked again.
Qixia calmed down and started thinking.
"It first happened during the Chinese New Year. At that time, I was living in the palace with Princess Ding. A young eunuch who was sweeping the floor delivered the letter. But later I asked him and he said he didn't know who ordered him to do it. He was just collecting money and doing the job."
"The second letter was sent to Prince Ding's mansion. It seemed to be the seventh day of the first lunar month..."
Jiang Wanyue's heart moved and she looked up at her.
"Who were the ones responsible for the sudden incident on the Lantern Festival?"
Qixia's eyelids trembled and her eyes drifted, as if she felt a little guilty, but in the end, she nodded.
Jiang Wanyue sneered.
"You are so cruel. Yin'er was so good to you, but you plotted against her. If the lantern had been slightly off, it would have fallen on her."
Qixia lowered her head.
"I know I was wrong, but I was blinded at the time and didn't see how good Sister Yin'er was to me. Instead, I felt jealous. If I have the chance to see her again, I will definitely apologize to her."
