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

As for the princess...

Now is not the time.

After Mi'er and the others left, Jiang Wanyue looked at the token.

"This token not only allows me to enter and exit the front yard at will, but also allows me to leave the house freely. It will be much more convenient for me to do anything in the future."

Xiuchun nodded.

"Don't worry, Miss. With your godmother's protection, no one will find out."

Jiang Wanyue stroked the edge of the token and bowed his head in contemplation for a long time.

"Those people from the previous mansion, try to find them back. Things outside need manpower, and you alone are not enough."

Xiuchun nodded again: "It would be great if we could find the butler. I will go out and ask around tomorrow."

"Oh, by the way, there is one thing that has been bothering me. You can go and find out about it tomorrow."

Jiang Wanyue leaned close to Xiuchun's ear and whispered something.

"Stay away from people."

After this matter was finalized, the effect of the medicine took effect and Jiang Wanyue fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was already daybreak and Dr. Zeng was waiting outside.

Jiang Wanyue simply washed up and asked someone to invite Doctor Zeng in.

Doctor Zeng had a stern face. He didn't look at anyone or say hello. He walked to the bedside, opened the medicine box and took out the injection bag.

Then, he said the first words after entering the door.

"Left hand."

Jiang Wanyue stretched out her left hand.

Doctor Zeng looked at Xing'er and Mi'er who were standing at the end of the bed.

"What are you standing there for? Come over here and hold her down."

The two maids looked at each other and dared not move.

Jiang Wanyue waved at them with her other hand.

"Come on! It's okay."

The two men then stepped forward, one climbed into the bed and pressed down half of Jiang Wanyue's body, while the other stepped forward and held down her left arm, blocking Jiang Wanyue's sight.

Doctor Zeng quickly inserted the golden needle into the tip of his index finger.

Jiang Wanyue tried her best to control herself from shouting.

Then the second stitch, the third stitch... until the fifth stitch.

After a while, Dr. Zeng pulled out the needle.

Jiang Wanyue was gasping for breath, feeling weak all over.

The two maids quickly stepped back.

Doctor Zeng packed his things and said without looking up, "Just stay in bed for a few days and don't think too much."

Jiang Wanyue spoke after calming her breathing.

"Thank you very much, Doctor Zeng. But can you try a different place next time? My fingers are connected to my heart, and this kind of acupuncture and bloodletting is really painful."

Doctor Zeng raised his head and said expressionlessly.

"It hurts a little so you can learn your lesson and avoid eating the wrong food next time."

Jiang Wanyue’s expression paused.

Before she could figure out how to respond, Dr. Zeng had already packed up his medicine box and left.

Jiang Wanyue looked at his back with a thoughtful expression.

I always feel like there's something else this person is saying... Could it be that he discovered something?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue frowned slightly.

But she soon felt relieved.

This was not her framing anyone else. It was a foregone conclusion that Madam Lu drugged her, no matter how they investigated, it was still true.

Even if Doctor Zeng told Prince Jing, it would only be speculation without any evidence.

Jiang Wanyue let the matter go and ate and took medicine as usual, as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with her.

In reality, the palace was on the verge of chaos.

Most of the servants in the mansion were taken away for interrogation last night. Although those who had no suspicion were released before dawn, some people were still missing.

This inevitably delayed the masters' washing and breakfast.

It was only then that Cui Yan learned about what had happened last night. She didn't even have breakfast and hurried over to visit.

After seeing that Jiang Wanyue was fine, Cui Yan patted his chest.

"Luckily you are safe. If anything had happened, I would never have been able to forgive myself in my life."

Jiang Wanyue smiled.

"Don't blame yourself, sister. This has nothing to do with you. They are targeting me. They have been on guard against you for a long time."

After this period of contact, Jiang Wanyue still knows Cui Yan's character very well and knows that she is not the kind of person who will watch someone in danger without helping.

But Nianyun Pavilion was far away, and she couldn't hear any movement in Wutong Courtyard.

Of course, the deeper reason was that since the death of the second son, and the fact that Prince Jing had not been visiting Nianyun Pavilion as often as before, the status of Cui Yan, the concubine, had dropped sharply. It was expected that the servants in her courtyard would turn their backs on the princess.

Cui Yan still felt bad and wanted to stay with her.

Jiang Wanyue was very happy about this.

With Cui Yan as my companion, the day would not be boring, and it would also be easier to find out about what was happening in the front yard.

Cui Yan also had a token in his hand that allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely.

She kept waiting for the princess's reaction.

But a night passed and the princess did nothing.

At noon, Jiang Wanyue finally knew the princess's response plan.

Someone is coming to the Lu Mansion.
