Chapter 194: Cruel Aunt Pan

There is something weird about this matter.

The world is peaceful now, and people from all over the world are united. The emperor has held power for many years. How could there be any rebels in the capital?

What's more, the emperor's plan to go to the palace was not clearly issued, and only a few people knew the inside story. How did the rebels get the news?

He was still thinking, and the prince was a little anxious: "There are only six days left before the emperor leaves, and there are no clues. I am worried that you will not be able to complete the mission by then."

"After my second brother got the news, he immediately went to the palace to persuade the emperor to postpone leaving the palace."

Jingshan Palace is not far from the capital and can be reached in half a day. Every year, the emperor will take time out to stay in the palace for a while.

Of course the emperor would not cancel his plan just because someone was suspected of wanting to assassinate him. Doesn't that mean that as the ruler of a country, he is afraid of these petty villains?

"The emperor will summon you to the palace soon. I asked you to come here so that you can have an idea."

He patted Lu Jiangnian on the shoulder and said, "My second brother was not thoughtful enough about this matter. He was also worried and confused. Later, he realized that this matter might cause trouble for you. However, it is a done deal. Don't think too much about it."

Lu Jiangnian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't think too much about it."

He knew without even thinking that this was a conspiracy against him.

The fabricated rebellion was enough to make him anxious. If he couldn't provide any useful clues, the emperor would be lenient for the first time, but what about the next time?

The emperor might have doubts about his abilities.

Lu Jiangnian left the Eastern Palace and went directly to the government office. Sure enough, the emperor summoned him soon.

After receiving the imperial edict, Lu Jiangnian took time out to return to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

I told Yuan Wanru about it, "I probably won't be back these few days."

"I have assigned a female guard to you, and I will leave Xuanqing to you as well. Go to Qihuangzhai in five days and take her with you."

"Also, the emperor will go to Jingshan Palace in six days. Do you want to go?"

He chattered on and on, and Yuan Wanru looked at him with amusement: "I don't plan to go out except to Qihuangzhai, so you don't have to worry. Xuanqing should follow you."

A trace of worry appeared on her face: "Why would a rebel group suddenly appear? I think there must be something wrong here."

"There are no clues. It's just that someone heard something in the Xijiao Restaurant. How can we investigate?"

Lu Jiangnian patted her head and said, "Don't worry, they are just rebels. I can create one even without them."

"However, we still have to act as we should. We have to investigate the case diligently these few days."

So this was his plan.

"Okay, go ahead, and be careful."

Yuan Wanru watched him leave. She didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling.

The next morning, Xuan Qing came over with a girl who had bright eyes and was well built and tall. "Madam, this is quartz."

Quartz clasped his fists and bowed: "Meet the Madam."

"Well, Quartz and Liuyan can go down."

Yuan Wanru felt that Xuan Qing would be of little use if he stayed with her, so she sent him to follow Lu Jiangnian.

Little did she know that the conspiracy against her had just begun.

-

That night, Yuan Wanru slept alone.

She didn't feel anything because there was one less person around her.

Since Lu Jiangnian already had a plan, she didn't think too much about it and fell into a sound sleep, having a good night's sleep.

On the other side, pregnant Aunt Pan was holding a note in her hand. It was late at night but she was still not sleepy. She stared blankly at the flickering candlelight with a trace of despair on her face.

The lamp crackled and woke her up. Finally, her face became determined, as if she had made a decision.

She put the note on the candle flame, and the flame leaped up. She threw the note into the charcoal stove, and all the conspiracies were wiped out.

The next day, Yuan Wanru had breakfast and went to pay her respects to Wang Min.

Lu Wei was there too. She had a look on her face and didn't even look at Yuan Wanru.

For Wang Min's sake, Yuan Wanru had originally planned to say hello to her. Since Lu Wei was so cold, there was no point in making herself unhappy.

Wang Min couldn't help but sigh when she saw her daughter-in-law and daughter ignoring each other.

Ever since Lu Wei came back, she felt so angry that she couldn't stop sighing all day long.

"Jiang Nian didn't come back last night. Did he have any errands?"

Yuan Wanru nodded: "The emperor told him to do it, I didn't ask what it was specifically."

Lu Wei sneered: "So what if you ask, can you help him?"

Wang Min was filled with anger. Did this rebellious girl really have to become enemies with Wanru?

Yuan Wanru didn't wait for Wang Min to get angry and said, "Mother, my husband asked me to go with him to Jingshan Palace. Will you go then?"

She simply ignored Lu Wei. For someone with such a hole in her brain, ignoring her was the best tactic.

Sure enough, Lu Wei angrily asked: "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

Yuan Wanru smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. "I heard that the palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful. Every time the emperor goes there, he will hold a bonfire dinner. It must be fun."

Lu Wei's face turned as red as liver, "Yuan Wanru, how dare you ignore me!"

Wang Min was both angry and amused. It was clearly Wei'er who provoked Wanru, but instead of making others angry, she herself was pissed off.

She first answered Yuan Wanru's question: "I won't go. You can take Lu Yun with you."

Then, he turned to Lu Wei with dissatisfaction: "Okay, Wanru is generous and doesn't bother with you, what else do you want?"

"It's been a while since you asked Imperial Doctor Gao to take care of your body. Since Imperial Doctor Gao told you to just follow the current prescription and continue taking it, there's nothing else for you to do in the capital. It would be better for you to return to Anzhou as soon as possible and be with your son-in-law."

So that she wouldn't have to stay at home and stir up trouble.

Lu Wei's eyes widened, and she was very hurt: "Mom, are you trying to drive me away?"

"Isn't this my home?"

"You actually drove me away?"

Wang Min pressed his forehead and felt that talking to Lu Wei was very difficult.

"Don't you know what's going on with you? Now that you've recovered, where will the child come from if you don't go back as soon as possible?"

Wang Min hoped that her brain would return to normal after giving birth.

That's the truth, it's correct.

If Yuan Wanru hadn't been there, Lu Wei would have listened to it, but there was a woman she hated next to her, watching the fun.

"I'm not leaving. I'm going to Jingshan Palace this time too."

"I haven't been to Jingshan Palace since I married and moved to Anzhou. Now that I've come across it, I must go again."

A stubborn look appeared on Lu Wei's face.

Wang Min was unwilling to force her to leave Beijing as it would hurt the child too much.

She looked at Lu Wei patiently: "You can go, but during this time, you have to behave yourself, otherwise I will send you back to Anzhou immediately."

"good."

-

Yuan Wanru came out of Wangchun Hall and went straight to Lingshuiju.

Along the way, she had to pass by Tinglan Water Pavilion. From afar, she saw someone in the pavilion.

When I got closer, I found that it was Aunt Pan.

Yuan Wanru had no intention of staying, nor did she prepare to greet Aunt Pan. She walked across the pavilion without looking around.

However, Aunt Pan left the pavilion and walked towards her.

Thinking that Aunt Pan killed the original owner, Yuan Wanru felt extremely disgusted with Aunt Pan.

No matter what the reason, the original owner is absolutely innocent. She harmed someone and yet she felt so at ease hanging around in front of the victim. It can be seen that this woman is very thoughtful.

The two of them were getting closer and closer, and Yuan Wanru inadvertently met Aunt Pan's gaze.

Something is wrong.

She stopped and suddenly shouted, "Auntie Pan, don't come over here, I'm scared!"

On the other side, Aunt Pan also shouted: "Madam, spare me, don't harm my child!"
