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

Chapter 196 Admit your mistake

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiuchun took the initiative to ask.

"My lady, do you want me to ask Luoyang Ling?"

Jiang Wanyue frowned and then relaxed her brows.

"No need. This matter is strange. Even if I don't ask, the Luoyang magistrate will not neglect it. Besides, the person behind the scenes must be keeping an eye on the government office, so we shouldn't alarm him rashly."

Xiuchun bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that Wang Zhong was murdered?"

Jiang Wanyue curled the corners of her mouth.

"You have also met this eunuch Wang. Do you think he is the kind of careless person?"

Xiuchun thought about it and then shook her head.

Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows, sat down again, raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, and spoke while thinking.

"He has been with the Emperor for so many years, from being a tea-serving eunuch to becoming the chief eunuch. He is a capable man. And when the Emperor ascended the throne, he retired at the right time. This shows that he is not only capable, but also can see things clearly."

"He has an adopted son and two adopted sons. This must be to prevent the adopted son from treating him badly. This trick was probably learned from the retired emperor."

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows... People like him know a lot of secrets. I think he knows that it will be difficult for him to have a good ending. I'm afraid he has already prepared a backup plan..."

Having said this, Jiang Wanyue suddenly raised her head.

"Xiuchun, go find Madam Qian and ask her to find Captain Ma and try to find Eunuch Wang's adopted son and godson to see if you can get something out of them. Hurry!"

Xiuchun's expression tensed, and she didn't even bother to greet him, and ran out like a flash.

She did not call anyone else and went to the East Palace alone, found Nanny Qian, and conveyed Jiang Wanyue's instructions.

When Nanny Qian heard Xiuchun's tone, she knew that the matter was very urgent. Without saying a word, she slipped out of the East Palace through the back door.

Xiuchun returned to Liangyi Hall and saw that her master was still the same as when she left, sitting at the table with one hand on his forehead. She then went forward and poured him a cup of tea.

"My lady, please have some tea first!"

Jiang Wanyue took the teacup and took a sip, but found that the tea was a little cold. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Xiuchun strangely.

"Are you worried?"

Xiuchun was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Wanyue pushed the teacup towards her.

"The tea is cold."

Xiuchun's face changed, she took a step back, and actually knelt down.

This action made Jiang Wanyue feel a little depressed.

Then she heard Xiuchun speak.

"The slave is guilty."

She lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Jiang Wanyue. After saying this, she immediately continued.

"I... went to see Master Lin without your permission."

Jiang Wanyue's hands were clenched tightly, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but loosen them.

"I thought it was nothing! It's not a big deal, get up!"

She reached out to help Xiuchun.

"He found you?"

Xiuchun stood up and nodded. At the same time, she glanced at Jiang Wanyue's expression. Seeing that she was not angry, she felt a little relieved and told her in detail the specific content of her meeting with Lin Shuyan today.

Jiang Wanyue listened quietly without interrupting or asking any questions.

Lin Shuyan must have heard her words when he entered the palace with other officials that day, and then he thought of finding out the situation in the palace.

Jiang Wanyue noticed that Lin Shuyan paid special attention to Li Chengye, as if he was expressing something implicitly.

Considering his experience, it is not difficult to guess why Lin Shuyan pays special attention to Li Chengye.

Sure enough, in the previous life, the one who finally succeeded in winning the throne must have been Li Chengye.

This is normal. After all, Li Chengye is both the eldest son and the legitimate son. In his previous life, if Lu Qingshuang had not died and had become the queen, the power of the Lu family would have increased greatly, which would definitely be a great help to Li Chengye.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief.

She could also let go of the matter of Wei Fuxue's child being replaced.
