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

Captain Zhang looked hesitant.

"This is a big deal, Concubine, do you have any evidence?"

Jiang Wanyue glanced towards the gate.

“The evidence is coming soon.”

Not long after, the housekeeper came back.

At the same time, he also brought back the news that Jiang Wanyue wanted to know.

The King of Qi had three most trusted aides, but none of them went to the palace this time, and they were not in the King of Qi's mansion either.

On the surface, everything seemed normal in the Prince of Qi's mansion. The "Prince of Qi" was there, but his wet nurse was not there. She said that something happened at home yesterday and she asked for leave to leave Beijing.

It seems like nothing at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, the prince is seriously ill, how can the wet nurse leave with peace of mind?

The butler did not bother to inquire in other mansions and hurried back.

At the same time, Xiuchun also hurried over.

She didn't come here alone, she was bringing someone with her.

Jiang Wanyue took a look and saw that it was Mrs. Qian.

Mrs. Qian ran very fast and reached Jiang Wanyue even faster than Xiuchun.

"Auntie, I discovered something incredible!"

Jiang Wanyue glanced at Xiuchun.

Xiuchun supported her knees and panted as she explained, "I'm going to check all the doors. Aunt Qian said that the one who poured out the night fragrance was late today."

She was panting and speaking slowly. Mrs. Qian couldn't wait any longer and interrupted her to explain.

"They were more than an hour late! This is too much! If it were summer, wouldn't so many night incense sticks be smelly and full of bugs? I scolded them severely, but the old man still insisted that he was delayed by the two families ahead. There were a lot more night incense in those two families than usual, so they had to make two extra trips. I didn't think he was lying."

Mrs. Qian was so excited that her face was beaming with joy and her mouth was full of saliva.

Jiang Wanyue's heart moved.

"Which two are they talking about?"

"The Prince Zhao's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion."

Prince Zhao is the emperor's younger brother and Prince Jing's third uncle.

As for the Grand Princess's Mansion, it should actually be the Grand Princess's Mansion. The emperor had several sisters, and this Grand Princess was the eldest, but she died of illness at a young age. At that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and this princess was still the "Grand Princess". Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he gave the other living sisters the title of "Grand Princess", but this deceased one was not given the title, and the mansion has always been called the "Grand Princess's Mansion".

Her princess mansion is still empty and not far from Prince Jing's mansion.

To the east and west of the Princess's Mansion are the Mansion of Duke Rong and the Mansion of Duke Zhuguo respectively, and to the north are two royal palaces.

These two palaces were none other than the Palace of Prince Qi and the Palace of Prince An.

Jiang Wanyue narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the butler and Captain Zhang.

Captain Zhang was the first to react.

"Concubine, do you suspect that there are people hiding in these two mansions?"

The housekeeper suddenly realized and said, "Prince Zhao has many children. Two days ago, Prince Zhao's two daughters and three granddaughters returned to Beijing one after another, saying that they came to celebrate the emperor's birthday and brought a large family with them. It is normal that there are suddenly more night fragrances."

"That's the Grand Princess's Mansion!"

Captain Zhang took over the conversation.

Jiang Wanyue nodded: "The Grand Princess's Mansion is usually empty, with only some servants cleaning, so there won't be such a change. Moreover, the Grand Princess's Mansion is adjacent to the Prince Qi's Mansion. If we secretly dig a tunnel from the Prince Qi's Mansion, it will be a very simple matter."

She paused, then continued.

"Of course, no matter how big the mansion is, it is impossible to hide 10,000 or 20,000 people. There should be a few important figures hiding inside. As for the other rebels, they should have broken up into small groups and hidden in the streets and alleys in the south of the city."

The people living in the south of the city are all ordinary people, so there are many people. In addition, more and more foreigners have come to Beijing recently, so no one will check them one by one.

"To capture a thief, we must first capture the leader. As long as we capture the rebel leader, we won't have to worry about the soldiers hiding in the alleys." Jiang Wanyue said calmly, "Captain Zhang, do you think this evidence is enough? Or do we need to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion first and capture a few rebels?"

Captain Zhang raised his hand to cover half of his face and said with some shame.

"Zhang is not suspicious of Concubine, but this matter is serious, so I asked a few more questions. I hope Concubine will forgive me."

Jiang Wanyue was not angry. After all, she didn't know Captain Zhang, so it was normal for others to be suspicious.

"Since you are sure, Captain Zhang, let's set off immediately! Time is running out, and they will most likely act after dark."

Captain Zhang clasped his fists.

"Subordinates take orders!"

After saying that, he called a few of his men, mounted his horse and galloped away.

The housekeeper gathered the servants in the mansion and had them take turns guarding the gate and patrolling with the rest of the Shen Ce Army soldiers.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Wanyue could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as she relaxed, she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.

The little guy in my belly seemed to be getting restless and kicking around.

She frowned, stroked her belly, and said silently in her heart.

Be good, just wait a little longer and come out after the problem is resolved.

The child seemed to understand what she said and became quiet.

But Jiang Wanyue's face was still very pale.

Xiuchun supported her carefully.

"You should go back and rest first! Even a body made of iron cannot withstand such exhaustion!"

Jiang Wanyue nodded, but the fatigue in her eyes could not be concealed.

Xiuchun called Mier over, and the two of them supported Jiang Wanyue and walked towards Wutong Courtyard.

Returning to the familiar courtyard, Jiang Wanyue felt a lot more relaxed.

Shen had already arranged everything. The four midwives had rearranged their schedules, and the maids had also been adjusted to ensure that everything went smoothly.

As soon as Jiang Wanyue returned to the bedroom, two midwives came forward immediately, one rubbed her feet and the other touched her belly.

As a result, the one who was massaging feet had just started when the one who was touching the belly suddenly started shouting.

"My aunt is about to give birth!"

This shout startled everyone in the yard.

Shen's face changed drastically and she rushed into the house.

"She's about to give birth? Why so sudden? Go call the doctor!"

Jiang Wanyue couldn't help laughing as she looked at her mother who was a hundred times more nervous than herself.

"Mom, I'm fine, I just have a stomachache. Don't worry, ask someone to help me go to the delivery room first!"

The delivery room is in the right wing at the back, just a few steps away.

Shen took several deep breaths before she calmed down and began to direct the maids.

The other two midwives also rushed over, and when they heard that it was just labor pains and the amniotic fluid had not yet broken, they carefully helped Jiang Wanyue to the delivery room.

Xiuchun followed Jiang Wanyue to the delivery room step by step, without even noticing that her hands and feet were tangled.

Mi'er, Xing'er and others were standing guard at the door as if they were facing a great enemy, with their eyes wide open, wishing they had four pairs of eyes so they could stare in every direction.

Jiang Wanyue lay on the soft couch, looking at a pair of hands with caring eyes, listening to her mother's soft words of comfort, and her heart gradually calmed down.
