Wanyue also had her own considerations regarding Si Fujin's visit. Naturally, Yinqi found out about Si Fujin's visit after being informed by the strict housekeeper.
So when he arrived at Xinuang Pavilion, he asked Wanyue directly without thinking too much: "I heard that the fourth sister-in-law came to the house today to inquire about news?"
Wanyue was slightly startled when she heard this. It seemed that some maid or servant in Xinuan Pavilion had secretly passed on the message, but it was not an important matter. Wanyue simply nodded and replied: "Yes, the fourth sister-in-law's words are all royal.
Regarding the matter of Ama establishing the crown prince, you have obviously told the emperor Ama a long time ago that you have no intention of doing so, but for some reason the fourth sister-in-law still comes here and insists on inquiring."
After Wanyue finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Yinqi. Seeing that she was a little thoughtful, she continued: "I think the fourth brother asked the fourth sister-in-law to come and inquire about this matter."
Yinqi couldn't help but sigh, why didn't the fourth brother give up on the position of prince? Yinqi sighed in his heart.
Yinqi gritted his teeth, glanced sideways at Wanyue, then moved to lie down on the kang, half-opening his eyes and replied: "I think the fourth brother has not given up on the throne, anyway, I have no plans in that regard.
, now there are quite a lot of ministers in the court supporting my eighth brother, I wonder if my eighth brother is prepared."
Wanyue pursed her lips, twirled the handkerchief on her hand, and replied calmly: "Badi should have considered it, because he doesn't care about power like you."
Yinqi was silent for a long time and then slowly said: "Yes, the eighth brother's style in the court is still very much appreciated by Emperor Ama. Maybe the crown prince position will really fall on his head in the end."
Thinking that his ninth brother and eighth prince are relatively close, as well as his own Fujin, Yinqi felt relieved. If the eighth prince ascends to the throne in the future, the two brothers will probably end up in a good situation.
end.
Thinking of the bright future, Yinqi couldn't help but stretch his waist.
As soon as he finished stretching his waist, the voice of the strict housekeeper came from outside: "Your Majesty, Mr. Houfa, Fujin's cousin, has something important to ask you."
These words made Wanyue and Yinqi look at each other, both of them were very curious as to why Houfa came to look for Yinqi.
A trace of doubt flashed in Wanyue's eyes, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Butler Yan. She raised her eyes with some confusion and asked, "What's the matter with my cousin coming to see the prince?"
"Master Houfa didn't say anything, he just said that he had something important to discuss with the prince." Steward Yan told the truth.
Yinqi didn't have any doubts. Seeing what Butler Yan said, he got up and went to the study in the front yard.
But as soon as he left, Nanny Li walked in from the door anxiously, with a look on her face full of suspicion.
"Miss, something is wrong. The person who was sent out to investigate was killed!" Grandma Li approached Wanyue's ear and talked about something that made her a little scared.
Wanyue raised her eyes to look at Nanny Li in disbelief, and asked in disbelief: "How is that possible! Isn't the person you sent out very good at martial arts? How could he be killed?"
Grandma Li had an expression of disbelief on her face. To be honest, her expression was exactly the same as Wanyue's when she first heard the news. They both couldn't believe that a person with such superb martial arts skills could be killed.
But the fact is that Mother Li went to the yamen gate in person and saw the man's body, and heard the yamen clerk say that the man was killed by someone else.
Grandma Li believed that what she saw with her own eyes could not be false, so when Wanyue asked her doubtful words, Grandma Li immediately nodded like a rattle, even feeling a little frightened in her heart.
After a long while, Nanny Li asked the question in her mind: "Could it be that someone from the Zhang family noticed it, which led to the murder of that person?"
Wanyue was a little confused when she heard this. In the past, the people sent out by Grandma Li to investigate were very careful. They shouldn't be noticed so easily, not to mention not many people knew about this matter.
Wanyue guessed for a moment, waved her hand towards Granny Li, and said comfortingly: "Let's give some money to that person's family first. After all, we went out to find out the news and lost our lives. We can't treat the people who work for us badly."
Grandma Li nodded, and Wanyue decided to go to the east wing to have a look in person. It had been several days since she had gone to see Tong Gege.
By the time they arrived in the east wing, Tong Gege's body had recovered a lot. When Tong Jiarui'er saw Wanyue, she was still a little surprised. She thought Wanyue had come to see her a few days ago and would not go again.
"Thank you Fujin for coming to see me." Although Tong Jiarui'er was still a little unwell, after hearing what the maid who took care of her said about Xiaohui, she had already determined in her heart that the person who hurt the child in her belly was the former personal maid.
Xiaohui only regrets that she chose the wrong person.
Tong Jiarui'er was filled with regret. Wanyue saw that her eyes were slightly swollen, and she looked like she had just cried.
Wanyue had no choice but to comfort her: "Sister, are you feeling better? Have you heard about Xiaohui?"
These words made Tong Jiarui'er feel a cloud in her heart, and immediately brought back the sadness in her heart. She choked back and replied: "Thank you Fujin for your concern. My body is much better. It's all my fault that I don't know people well.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let that girl Xiaohui harm me.”
After saying that, Tong Jiarui'er picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and continued: "I just can't figure out how I offended her, that she would murder the child in my belly like this."
The more Tong Jia Rui'er talked, the sadder she became. Seeing that she seemed to be unable to control her emotions, Wanyue hurriedly stepped forward and patted Tong Jia Rui'er, and comforted her again: "No one thought that that girl Xiaohui would be that kind of person, let alone
What's more, the testimony of the princess's maid Zhuyue against Xiaohui made the prince firmly believe that Xiaohui was the one who plotted to kill you, but in the end we didn't expect that this girl Xiaohui would commit suicide."
Tong Jiarui'er thought about Wanyue's words for a while and felt that the girl Zhuyue was also a little suspicious. She heard the girl next to her say before that when Zhuyue testified against Xiaohui that day, she said that Xiaohui was hiding something in the corner of the backyard of the east wing.
How could she, a maid from Dong Nuan Pavilion, know about the behavior of the maid in their east wing? There must be something fishy in this.
It's just that she can't find out what secrets are hidden in it yet. She can only ask someone to investigate after she feels better. Tong Jiaruier couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, but she couldn't help but feel doubts in her heart.
After Wanyue chatted with her for a while, she transferred to Dongnuan Pavilion. The five girls in Dongnuan Pavilion were naturally a little happy to see Wanyue's visit, but the two girls Yuxia and Zhang Jiazhuyue were heartbroken.
But they have different thoughts.
Wanyue's eyes would occasionally stay on Zhang Jiazhuyue. Based on her experience in looking at people in her previous life and after her rebirth, this Zhang Jiazhuyue was definitely not as innocent as she seemed on the surface. I am afraid that the death of the person sent by Grandma Li
It's also about her.
Zhang Jiazhuyue was stared at by Wanyue and was at a loss. She lowered her head and did not dare to raise her eyes. She did not even hear her master calling her.
