They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

The more Jiang Wanyue thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

It would make sense if the princess asked Cui Yan, Luo Yudian or Guan Rou, or even Jiang Wanyue to be in charge of the kitchen.

But unfortunately, she chose Xie Lanxi.

As if he was afraid that something might go wrong in the kitchen.

Suddenly, Jiang Wanyue's expression changed.

"Could it be that the princess just wants to see problems in the kitchen... to prove something to Prince Jing? No, no, if something really happens in the mansion, she will lose face."

"Moreover, she has almost never made any mistakes in the years she has been in charge of the palace. Everyone in the palace is hers and they all follow her rules. Even if Xie Lanxi wants to do something, it will be difficult for her to succeed."

"Although there is a small kitchen in the main courtyard, it is only for the masters. The servants in the main courtyard still eat in the dining room. She couldn't have thought of that..."

Jiang Wanyue muttered to herself.

Even if the princess wanted to do something in the kitchen, she couldn't use herself to pave the way.

She has two children!

If something unexpected happened and the two children were to suffer, Lu Qingshuang might even cry to death.

With Lu Qingshuang's personality, she would not hand over unstable factors to other people's hands.

It’s not Xie Lanxi, and it’s even less likely to be Jiang Wanyue.

and so……

Jiang Wanyue suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling.

"The kitchen is just a place to draw attention away from others!"

The place where she was really planning was not the kitchen, but somewhere else!

In that case, then the target is not Xie Lanxi.

It’s her, Jiang Wanyue!

After sorting out all these clues, Jiang Wanyue let out a long breath.

She patted her face, drank the lukewarm water in one gulp, and no longer felt tense.

Now that we know the other party's plan, it will be easy.

Will count.

Follow the clues.

Jiang Wanyue half-lying on the couch, squinting her eyes.

Not long after, Xing'er came back first.

"I checked the warehouse and everything is there. Nothing has been touched." Xing'er opened the booklet and pointed to the pages about medicinal herbs and supplements. She said seriously, "Before I left, I sprinkled scented powder at the entrance and the opening of the box. If someone has touched it, it will be obvious at a glance."

Jiang Wanyue's eyes lit up and she sat up straight.

"Not bad, not bad, this is a good idea, Xing'er is really smart."

She praised him generously, making Xing'er blush.

"Then I will go and count the other things in the warehouse."

She bent her knees and went out with a few booklets in her arms.

Jiang Wanyue watched her leave and felt that her steps had become much lighter.

After a while, Xiuchun came back.

"I sent someone to tell my godmother that she has been at home these days and should be able to come tomorrow. But what does my aunt want her to do? To see a doctor?"

Jiang Wanyue neither nodded nor shook her head.

"That's it!"

Jiang Wanyue's mind is now on the pharmacy.

The attending doctor in the pharmacy is Dr. Zeng.

After the previous incident, Prince Jing drove away the original court physician, so the new one he invited must have gone through multiple examinations to make sure there was no problem.

Moreover, Xiuchun had met Doctor Zeng several times, and he was a good person, and didn't seem like someone who would help the princess harm others.

As for the medicinal materials in the pharmacy, Dr. Zeng had just taken inventory a few days ago, so it was unlikely that there were any mistakes.

As long as Dr. Zeng is reliable, there will be no problem with the pharmacy.

If we ask Aunt Sun to come at this time, it will make Doctor Zeng unhappy and make him feel that the mansion does not trust her.

Therefore, the first thing to do now is to make sure that Dr. Zeng has no connection with the princess.

The second step is to take the initiative.

Jiang Wanyue's mind gradually became clear.

It was not until the evening that Mi'er came back.

It took her a lot of effort to find out about Dr. Zeng.

"The Zeng family has been practicing medicine for generations and has a great reputation in their hometown. When it came to Doctor Zeng's grandfather, he was recruited into the Imperial Hospital. Unexpectedly, he offended the powerful and lost his life. Not only that, his entire family was implicated, their property was confiscated and they were exiled, becoming criminals."

"But the Zeng family was capable after all. They relied on their medical skills to gain a foothold in the exile area, and later settled down there. Doctor Zeng was the best doctor in the family, but because he was a criminal, he could not practice medicine, so he joined the army. He started as a soldier, and because he saved his comrades and superiors many times, he was appreciated by the general in the army at that time."

"The general appointed Doctor Zeng as a military doctor, and later used Doctor Zeng's military achievements to help the Zeng family escape from punishment. Later, the general returned to Beijing when he was old, and Doctor Zeng traveled around the border. A few years ago, he met our prince and has been following him ever since."

"This time, if the prince hadn't repeatedly asked, Doctor Zeng wouldn't have come!"

Mier said it all in one breath, she was so thirsty.

Jiang Wanyue poured her a cup of warm water. Mi'er took it and drank it all in one gulp.

"I don't think Doctor Zeng would do anything to harm others. He is always finding fault with us maids, and the same goes for the people around the princess."

Jiang Wanyue thought and said, "Indeed, he has been in the army for a long time and has seen many deaths and lives. His medical skills must be good. He came to the palace to be the palace doctor because the prince invited him several times. Such a person probably disdains the fighting in the harem and is unwilling to participate."

After saying that, Jiang Wanyue looked at the others.

"You don't have to keep an eye on the pharmacy. Xiuchun can just go there every morning and evening to check."

Xiuchun nodded.

Today is the first day of the new year and Prince Jing will not come. After Jiang Wanyue gave a few instructions to the maids, she went to bed early.

The next day, not long after breakfast, Aunt Sun came over.

She entered the mansion in the name of Xiuchun's godmother and was not stopped and entered the Wutong courtyard smoothly.

However, although the person had been seen, when Jiang Wanyue made her request, she was met with strong opposition from Aunt Sun.

"No! I don't agree! I will never allow anyone to help you do such a thing! My medicine is only for saving people, not for harming people!"

Aunt Sun was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. If she hadn't been concerned about being in the palace, she might have walked out on the spot.

Jiang Wanyue explained patiently.

"Please listen to what I have to say! I don't mean to hurt anyone. I use the medicine for myself..."

"That won't do! If you harm yourself, isn't that harming yourself? You guys always take advantage of your youth and good health to do whatever you want. Medicine is poisonous. You can't take ordinary medicine carelessly, let alone this kind of poisonous medicine. Even if you prepare the antidote, it will cause great harm to your body."

Aunt Sun finished her speech quickly and then slowed down her tone.

"Listen to my advice! I've been through this before and have seen a lot of things like this. Xiuchun, you go and give the advice."

Xiuchun opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Jiang Wanyue held Aunt Sun's hand with a serious look on her face.

"I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have no choice. I promise you that I will never use this medicine carelessly, nor will I harm my body at will. Can't you help me this time?"
