Chapter 215 Just Because of a Sentence
Jiang Wanyue's pupils shrank slightly.
At this moment, countless thoughts and speculations seemed to pop up in her mind.
Xiuchun raised her head and asked.
"If the Grandmother uses the truth to exchange Wu Linglan's life with the Emperor, do you think the Emperor will agree?"
Jiang Wanyue hesitated slightly.
To be precise, what Li Ce wanted to know was not only the truth about Empress Wu's death, but also whether he was the son of Empress Wu.
An emperor holds all the power in the world in his hands, and he can know whatever he wants to know.
Likewise, whatever he wants to see, he will see.
Jiang Wanyue couldn't help but think that this grandmother might have been sent by God specifically for Li Ce.
However, this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment and quickly disappeared.
She pulled her thoughts back.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Jiang Wanyue finally spoke.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, Xiuchun, you'd better not get involved. When you go back, tell Grandmother Zushi that the emperor has no intention of taking Wu Linglan's life, but he still has some doubts."
Jiang Wanyue said it tactfully.
But Xiuchun is not an outsider. She has been with Jiang Wanyue for so long and knows her very well, so she immediately understood the hidden meaning behind her words.
The emperor has some doubts that have not been resolved... He did not want to kill Wu Linglan... Is this doubt referring to the Wu family?
Miss, what you mean is that we can persuade the Grandmother to plead with the Emperor on behalf of the Wu family?
Xiuchun couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wanyue. Seeing that the young lady's eyebrows and eyes were normal and clear, she had an idea in her mind.
"I will tell the Grandmother the truth when I return."
Jiang Wanyue nodded slightly with a faint smile on her face.
After Xiuchun left the palace, she went all the way back to Jiang's house, changed her clothes, wiped off the disguise on her face, put on something else, made up herself to be an ordinary maid, and left Jiang's house through the back door.
She didn't walk very far. Behind the Jiang family's back door was a long and narrow street, where the residents were either the sons of wealthy families nearby or poor relatives, a mixed crowd of good and bad.
When Xiuchun and the master just returned to Beijing, she planned to go directly back to the Jiang family, but the master disagreed. In the end, they rented a small courtyard in the back alley as a temporary place to stay.
Xiuchun pushed open the door, walked into the yard, put down the vegetable basket she was using as a disguise, washed her hands, and then walked into the house.
There was only one square table in the main room, and sitting beside the table was an ordinary woman, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin.
"Aunt, I'm back."
Xiuchun spoke respectfully.
The woman raised her head, revealing a very beautiful face.
She was not young, but her face had few wrinkles and her skin was fair. Only her deep eyes and a pair of rough hands revealed her real age.
Although she was a little anxious in her heart, her face was still gentle and warm.
"Thank you for your hard work, running back and forth for my affairs. Sit down and rest for a while!"
Xiuchun sat down, took a sip of water, and repeated exactly what Jiang Wanyue had said last.
Then, he just sat there quietly without saying anything else.
After waiting for a long time, Xiuchun finally saw the master come back to his senses from his contemplation and let out a long sigh.
"I can't avoid it after all... Never mind, I have to meet him eventually."
She got up and went to the inner room, and came out soon with a visiting card in her hand.
"Find someone to take him to Sanqing Temple tomorrow."
Xiuchun took the visiting card and was a little hesitant.
"Aren't you going to see the emperor first? I heard that the emperor hates the Wu family very much. If he knew that you have a history with the Wu family, would he be unfavorable to you?"
The master laughed.
But there was helplessness in this smile.
"The Wu family incident was caused by me. If he wants to kill me, then just kill me. I got my life for nothing. Now that God has taken it back, it's not a loss."
