Traveled to ancient times and became a cheap little dad

Yue Shuang and Yue Jiao entered Deyi Hall openly, but once the palace gate was closed, they knocked them unconscious and sent them out through a small door and directly to the water dungeon.

At night, a dark figure quietly entered the Deyi Hall, went to the servants' bunk bed, and blew a tube of incense in through the window.

He waited for half a cup of tea before pushing the door open and going in quietly.

The shadow stopped at each person's bedside to check, and after everyone had checked, he still couldn't find Yue Shuang and Yue Jiao. How could this be?

Just as he was wondering, he heard someone talking outside. Frightened, the dark shadow hid behind the door. He didn't wait until there was no other sound outside before he breathed a sigh of relief and left the house.

I repeated the same procedure and searched several other rooms, even the storage room, but still couldn't find anyone.

The black shadow clenched his fingers in hatred and left Deyi Hall in the dark.

Watching the black shadow walk away, Yan Wan sneered, opened the door a crack, walked out of the room, followed by Shi Yanxue.

The palace maid lit the lamp, and the group quietly walked around the servants' rooms. Sure enough, there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Back in the main hall, Yan Wan had a bad expression on her face, "This Wen Xia is really not a simple person. He actually wanted to kill people to silence them."

"That means those two girls know a lot about her." Shi Yanxue's expression remained normal and she didn't seem surprised.

Yan Wan nodded, "I know, but I don't know how much the emperor can dig out."

"But those two girls are so delicate and tender, I don't think they can withstand the torture."

"Your Majesty, won't you report to the Emperor what happened tonight?" Shi Yanxue looked at her, with a rare seriousness.

"If those two girls are Wen Xia's right-hand men, then the one just now is her protector."

Yan Wan was a little surprised to see her expression like this, "I don't know how many times this person has dealt with this kind of thing for her in private, he must have a backup plan."

"If she said that she came to visit because she was worried that the two girls were suffering, she would not be convicted."

"It would be even more troublesome if there is no evidence."

Shi Yanxue's expression was heavy. "When I was young, I studied the piano with Wen Xi, the eldest sister of the Wen family. When she was 17 years old, she was dignified and beautiful, quite talented, and had a very good reputation. She was also engaged to the Duke Dingguo Mansion."

"One month before her wedding, she suddenly died at home."

Yan Wan looked at her and guessed, "You suspect it's Wen Xia?"

Shi Yanxue nodded, "Yes, she has been used to pretending to be weak and scheming since she was young. She has a maid who is good at using medicine and is familiar with medical principles."

"When Wenxi is around, she always looks a little dim, and others don't notice her."

"I once saw her looking at Sister Wenxi with hatred in her eyes. She was only 10 years old at that time."

Yan Wan sighed, stepped forward and held her slightly cold hand, "But these are just your guesses. Even if you report it to the emperor now, it won't do anything."

"Yan Xue, you have endured for so many years, are you afraid that you can't endure it for a moment?"

Shi Yanxue shook her head and said, "I have collected a lot of useful information over the years."

"My lady, Wen Xia is not the Wen family's biological child."

"Really?" Yan Wan was shocked.

Nodding, "Yes, she doesn't look like anyone in the Wen family. No one paid attention to her at first. One day, someone mentioned it unintentionally, and Mrs. Wen's eyes avoided her. That's when I started to pay attention to her."

"I have been secretly investigating over the years. In my opinion, she should have known about it a long time ago."

"That nanny went to the Wen family on her own. Less than half a year after the two of them met, Sister Wenxi..."

"She is young and doesn't have many tricks. She has no other choice but to act like a spoiled brat."

Yan Wan held her hand tightly and said, "With the help of an adult, especially an adult who knows medicine and martial arts, we can definitely accomplish many things."

The subordinate clapped his hands and said, "That Liu, is she also her..."

Shi Yanxue rubbed the back of her hand and nodded, "I have also thought about this. They had a very good relationship at first, but in the end only Liu was arrested, while Wen Xia escaped unscathed and was even made a noble concubine."

"I think His Majesty has already set his sights on Wen Xia, and the title of Imperial Concubine is only to make her let down her guard."

Yan Wan gently rubbed the back of her hand, then let her go and snorted, "The emperor has always used whatever means to achieve his goals. He won't care about this little favor."

"After all, the higher you are praised, the more painful it will be when you fall."

"By the way, since you have been investigating for so long, have you found out the reason why she targeted Jiang Yun?"

Shi Yanxue pondered for a moment and shook her head. "The two have no intersection. Although the Ling family is not a wealthy family, Ling Zhi is a smooth official and will not offend anyone."

"As for Madam Ling, although she has a quick temper, she also knows her limits. Ling Chu got married early, and although she was divorced and returned to Beijing, she would not offend Wen Xia."

"Let's talk about Ling Yun. He has a good business, but he is not a profit-seeking person. On the contrary, he sets up a porridge stall every year."

Yan Wan tilted her head and thought, "That's really strange."

"She has always been secretive about what she does. If she hadn't targeted Jiang Yun last time and hadn't repeatedly suggested ways to hurt Jiang Yun, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't have noticed her so quickly."

"She pretends to relieve the emperor's worries, but in reality she wants to kill Jiang Yun."

"I heard that Yuhua Palace has been in turmoil in recent days. I wanted to ask Zejia not to go, but the child refused to listen and even said that he would accompany me out of the palace tomorrow."

Shi Yanxue was a little surprised, "Leaving the palace?"

"Yes, the emperor wants to take Jiang Yun out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, set off fireworks, and eat Yuanxiao." Yan Wan said this with a hint of sourness. It was bad enough that the emperor didn't accompany her for the holiday, but his son didn't accompany her either, which made her angry.

Shi Yanxue understood, "Your Majesty, I will pass on what I know to King Chen An during the Lantern Festival tomorrow."

"If we investigate carefully, we will definitely find out Wen Xia's background."

"One more thing,"

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Yan Wan smiled indifferently, "Tell me, you have known me for so many years, when have you ever been afraid of me?"

Shi Yanxue nodded, "If you look closely at the imperial court now, it can be said that there are three pillars."

"Wen family, Yan family, Prime Minister."

"Even Prince Chen An doesn't count. The prince is not interested in this. If he hadn't assisted the emperor, he would have returned to Yangzhou long ago. Now he just has Jiang Yun's affairs to deal with."

"According to our investigations over the past few days, the Queen Mother has long been dissatisfied with the actions of the Emperor since he ascended the throne. The Prime Minister and the Queen Mother are bound to reach a cooperation agreement."

"If we overthrow the Wen family, the Yan family will directly confront the Prime Minister, and the Queen Mother will definitely target you. Have you thought of a way out?"

Yan Wan sneered, "She is an adoptive mother after all. She doesn't have much sincerity towards the emperor, she only cares about benefits."

"She used the emperor to stabilize his position, and the emperor used her power to ascend the throne."

"The emperor now is not the prince who was out of favor back then. Even if she wants to target me, the emperor will not let her do what she wants."

"The little lion has grown up, and it's time for the lioness to let go."
