They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.
Chapter 111: The Means of Control
Seeing that Princess Jiayin obviously didn't listen, Princess An continued.
"Don't disbelieve me, there have been several murders in the city in the past few days, and the Ministry of Justice has been very busy with this matter."
Princess An's surname was Feng. Her great-uncle was the Minister of Justice, and her father also worked in the Ministry of Justice, so she paid special attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Justice.
However, usually women don’t like to hear this.
After Princess An finished speaking, no one responded, which seemed a bit awkward.
Jiang Wanyue looked around and spoke at the right time.
"Did something like this happen in the capital? We have always been in the backyard of the mansion and have never heard of it."
Princess An sighed.
"I only found out about this when I went back to my mother's house a few days ago. Several officials died in the past few days. A few days ago, a eunuch in the palace also had an accident. That eunuch served in the Taiji Palace. My mother brought up this matter because his last name was Feng."
A eunuch named Feng?
Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed, her heart trembled, and she immediately lowered her eyes.
This attracted the attention of Princess Ding.
"The eunuch surnamed Feng? Is he the eunuch who delivers imperial edicts from the Taiji Palace? No wonder! The eunuch who came to our house to deliver something yesterday has been replaced."
Eunuch Feng was responsible for delivering imperial edicts, and every family had seen him. When they heard that something had happened to an acquaintance, the women became nervous.
Princess Jiayin's face looked a little unhappy.
She was not worried that something might happen to herself, but she was worried that her father and mother would not let her leave the palace because of this.
Everyone started chatting about this topic, and no one noticed that Jiang Wanyue's expression changed for a moment.
She always felt that something was wrong.
How could it be such a coincidence that the one who died was the eunuch Feng who delivered the imperial edict that day?
Is it really a coincidence, or has this Eunuch Feng offended someone?
Who did he offend?
The eunuch who delivered the emperor's imperial eunuchs could be considered as the celebrities in the palace, and at least ranked among the top five around the emperor.
How could such a person die inexplicably?
Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips.
Could it be Li Ce who did it?
She couldn't be sure.
She didn't have time to think for too long, as the meal was about to begin.
Jiang Wanyue withdrew her thoughts and led everyone out of the side hall with Zhu Yan.
After that, she focused all her attention on the banquet, chatting happily with the princesses. She even showed great concern for Princess Qixia.
Qixia suddenly lost her family and was a little depressed, but she was still able to behave politely.
Princess Ding always kept her by her side, and would ask her questions from time to time. Qixia always responded with gratitude.
After the banquet was over, Jiang Wanyue returned to Yichun Palace and immediately called Nanny Qian.
"Is Vice Captain Ma now assigned as a patrol guard?"
Nanny Qian bowed and nodded.
"Yes! Master, what do you want?"
Although Lao Ma was physically disabled, he was a veteran of the battlefield and had considerable skills. He was also Li Ce's confidant. After Li Ce became the crown prince, he assigned them tasks one after another.
The Patrol Battalion was one of the battalions of the Imperial Guards and was responsible for patrolling the city.
Although this job was not prestigious enough, it allowed him to travel through the streets and alleys and be the most informed. In addition, he also received various gifts in private, so it was considered a lucrative job.
The most important thing is that the area he patrols is near the East Palace, so it is much more convenient for him to see Nanny Qian.
Jiang Wanyue frowned.
"You will go out with the sign later. Have there been a few murders in the city recently? The victims are all officials and eunuchs in the palace. Ask him to find out who has been involved."
Seeing her master's serious expression, Nanny Qian nodded hurriedly and asked Xiuchun to get the pass to leave the palace, and then left.
Jiang Wanyue leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and thought deeply.
She didn't quite believe that Li Ce had done these things.
Although Li Ce's methods were sometimes cruel, he only killed enemies or people who betrayed him. He would not order the assassination of court officials because of some personal grudges.
Even if Eunuch Feng had some relationship with Lu Qingshuang, with Li Ce's current status and means, how difficult would it be to kill him?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue calmed down and slowly opened her eyes.
"Xiuchun."
"The servant is here."
Xiuchun hurried forward.
Jiang Wanyue whispered a few words in her ear, and Xiuchun nodded continuously. After hearing the last word, she collected her thoughts, turned around and left.
Jiang Wanyue called Xing'er and others over, changed her clothes and jewelry, and went to see Xu'er before she rested.
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Si Zhuan, along with three of her female officials, came to Yichun Palace again to pay a visit to Jiang Wanyue.
At yesterday's banquet, they secretly observed the two Liang Di, and finally felt that Jiang Liang Di was more reliable.
In fact, they have no other choice.
They had made some arrangements in Yi Qiu Palace before, but Zhu Liangdi did not notice.
In terms of vigilance and wit, Zhu Liangdi is far inferior to Jiang Liangdi.
The chef made the decision, and the chief physician had no way of objecting, so he followed along.
However, they waited outside the hall for more than a quarter of an hour but did not receive a summons from Jiang Liangdi.
A pretty maid came out.
Now she is a senior maid in Yichun Palace.
She shook her handkerchief and said with a forced smile.
"Our Lady is busy and has no time to see you all. Please go back!"
Si Zhuan's face changed.
The head gardener was a little anxious: "Does Jiang Liangdi have something urgent to say? How long will it take?"
Si Zhuan pulled her behind him.
"Since Jiang Liangdi is busy, we won't disturb her."
After saying that, she turned around and left Yichun Palace with the three of them.
When they reached the long street, the chief physician could not help but snort.
"I said Jiang Liang Di is not suitable, right? It's only the second day and she already gave us a cold look. If we really join her, will we still have a good life in the future?"
The gardener's expression was not good, showing worry and anger, and he turned his head away abruptly.
"What's the point of you saying this at this time?! What else can you do besides pouring cold water on me?"
"Why are you mad at me? I'm just thinking about everyone else!"
"Who doesn't think about everyone? If you have the ability, you should really come up with a good solution instead of just saying discouraging words all the time."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhang Shi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly sighed.
"In the eyes of these concubines, we are just servants who are ordered around. Who would take us seriously?"
These words silenced everyone present.
Si Zhuan frowned and said nothing, but his thoughts never stopped.
From the information she had heard, this Jiang Liangdi had a very good reputation and did not seem like a person who would change her mind repeatedly.
Why did she suddenly change her attitude?
Could it be that something happened last night? Did Jiang Liangdi believe what others said?
Or... does she have other intentions in doing this?
