Chapter 175 Princess Yurong
Chapter 175 Princess Yurong
Jiang Wanyue gave a few more instructions on the third day bathing before getting up and leaving.
After walking out of Liufang Palace, she subconsciously looked back.
There was a sharp look in his eyes.
That child didn't look like a newborn at all.
How can a baby who is less than an hour old have skin that is smooth and rosy?
Moreover, Wei Fuxue was born prematurely. A seven-month-old baby would not be this big, his hair would not be this thick, and his nails would not have grown well.
When she was holding the child just now, she noticed something was wrong.
There was also something wrong with that nanny's reply.
Li Ce had clearly left the palace, but she said that she went to Liangyi Hall to meet Li Ce with her child.
If she hadn't known it in advance, she might have been deceived.
Jiang Wanyue had a stern expression.
After they were far away from Liufang Palace, she waved to Mi'er and whispered instructions.
"Send someone to find out whether the nanny really took the child to Liangyi Palace to see the emperor."
"Also, find two smart people to keep an eye on the two. Make arrangements inside and outside the palace."
Mier nodded seriously.
Jiang Wanyue raised her hand and touched her face, and then her complexion returned to normal.
She returned to Fenglai Palace and after a short rest, she received a message from Liangyi Palace saying that Li Ce had returned and asked her to come over.
Jiang Wanyue only brought a few personal servants with her and walked towards the Liangyi Palace.
Fenglai Palace is very close to Liangyi Palace. The two palaces are separated only by the main gate of the inner palace. The guards guarding the gate are all from the original East Palace. At a glance, they are all familiar faces.
Jiang Wanyue was thinking about the child all the way.
By chance, when she was halfway there, she met the person that Mi'er had sent to inquire for news.
Mi'er called the palace maid, asked a few questions in a low voice, and ran back to answer.
"Your Highness, the midwife did carry the little princess to Liangyi Palace. But the emperor was not there at the time, and it was Eunuch Liang who saw her. The midwife stayed in there for less than a quarter of an hour before leaving."
Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed.
Is this Liang Gaosheng?
Liang Gaosheng is now trying hard to grab the position of general manager, so he would not have any evil intentions in this matter.
Moreover, it was in the main hall of Liangyi Palace! Even if Li Ce was not there, there were secret guards in the palace. If he dared to do anything in private, the secret guards would not pretend not to see it.
Jiang Wanyue stopped and looked at the roof of the palace in front of her, her eyes narrowed.
Is it Li Ce’s order?
No wonder Liang Gaosheng stopped Chang Xin from entering before... Maybe he was worried that Chang Xin would find out something?
That child...is not Wei Fuxue's.
When the child was born, there were so many people inside and outside Liufang Palace, and every palace gate was guarded, so it was impossible to change the child.
The only place where it is possible to be replaced is here in Liangyi Palace.
Jiang Wanyue sorted out the clues.
But she still didn't understand what Li Ce wanted to do?
Now, Li Ce was right in front, but Jiang Wanyue hesitated to move forward.
She didn't know whether she should try it.
She hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up her mind.
For some reason, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Empress? Empress?"
Xing'er's cry brought Jiang Wanyue back to her senses from her thoughts.
She glanced up at the sky.
A dark cloud came from somewhere and blocked the sun.
Jiang Wanyue took a deep breath.
It is better to be still than to move. Before Li Ce shows any sign of weakness, it is better not to act rashly.
She closed her eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, my heart had returned to calm.
She walked forward again.
Soon, they arrived outside the Liangyi Palace.
Wang Jun, who was waiting outside the hall, immediately came forward when he heard the noise.
"This old servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Wang Jun had a smile on his face as always, but his eyes blinked faster than usual.
Jiang Wanyue's heart moved.
"Eunuch Wang, there is no need to be so polite. Why are you standing outside? Is the Emperor meeting with a foreign minister?"
"Your Majesty, yes, the Emperor is talking to Master Zhang."
"Then I'll wait outside for a while!" Jiang Wanyue shook her sleeves and asked casually, "Did you drink the mung bean soup I asked someone to send you earlier? How does it taste?"
Wang Jun bent down.
"Thank you, Madam. I was just about to go and thank you, but you happened to come here first."
He chatted calmly with Jiang Wanyue.
"The weather is very good today. On the way back to the palace just now, I saw many children flying kites!"
Jiang Wanyue looked at the sky.
"It's windy today, which is indeed a good day for flying kites. Eunuch Wang, thank you for your hard work in accompanying the emperor on his trip."
Wang Jun said with a smile: "My lady, don't look down on my age, but I am still strong and healthy. I can even go hunting in Wangwu Mountain."
Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed.
"It's a pity that we were in a hurry during the last spring hunt, so we didn't see Eunuch Wang take action."
Eunuch Wang waved his hands repeatedly: "How can this old slave compare to the emperor! Apart from other things, just look at the emperor's ability to ride a horse. This old slave can't catch up with him even if he hurries his horse."
The two of them were chatting back and forth, and it sounded like they were just having a simple chat.
After a few more words, there was a noise in the hall and Zhang Rao walked out.
He was still wearing the Taoist robe he wore the last time Jiang Wanyue saw him, but the whisk in his hand was a different one.
Seeing Jiang Wanyue there, Zhang Rao hurried over to greet her.
"I have met the Queen, may Her Majesty be well."
Jiang Wanyue nodded politely.
Zhang Rao looked at her as if he had something to say, but Jiang Wanyue did not give him the chance to speak and walked straight into the hall.
She didn't notice Zhang Rao's expression, nor did she care.
At this moment, all she could think about were the words Wang Jun had just said.
Although it was just idle talk, she also captured a few key words.
Kite, Wangwu Mountain, galloping on horseback...
Jiang Wanyue paused for a moment as she stepped over the threshold.
Her eyes flashed, and a name popped up in her mind.
Princess Yurong Li Zheng!
Kite is a paper kite; Princess Yurong became a female Taoist priest after breaking up with her husband's family. As I vaguely remember, the Taoist temple where she lived was near Wangwu Mountain.
Moreover, her husband’s family’s surname is Ma!
So, Wang Jun wanted to tell himself that Li Ce went out today to meet Princess Yurong?
But Princess Yurong is his sister, if they want to meet, they can meet in the palace! Why does he have to leave the palace?
Judging from Wang Jun’s performance, it seems that Li Ce doesn’t want others to know.
Jiang Wanyue walked into the bedroom with her head lowered and a frown on her face. When she looked up, she was shocked to see that Li Ce also had a frown on his face and looked worried.
She straightened her clothes and took a few steps forward.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty. He doesn't look well. Is there something troubling him?"
Li Ce just realized that she was coming, and stood up and helped her with a smile.
"This set of clothes fits you perfectly, but there isn't enough headwear. Ask the people in the clothing bureau to make you a few more sets of jewelry!"
He changed the subject.
Jiang Wanyue lowered her eyes slightly, but her tone did not change.
"If the emperor really loves me, don't ask anyone to make jewelry for me. You don't know that my neck is almost broken by all the jewelry I wear. I was thinking of asking the clothing bureau to make a light hair crown for me! Xing'er and two palace maids spent half an hour combing my hair."
She spoke in a brisk tone, half complaining and half jokingly, causing Li Ce's brows to relax and he laughed.
"It's up to you. Just tell people to do whatever you want."
