Chapter 788 The man behind the scenes is a bastard
"I…"
Qin Yu realized that his mouth was completely out of control, but fortunately because his mouth was injured, he had time to react.
"Yu'er."
Seeing blood seeping from the corner of Qin Yu's mouth again, Qin Lan felt very distressed, "Just confess.
You are the only one in our Qin family now. I don’t believe you want to rebel!”
"Who is the person behind you?"
Song Jiuyuan believed in the ability of Jiang Wan's pills, so he stared straight into Qin Yu's eyes.
Qin Yu couldn't control his mouth, "Yes... Your Highness."
"Your Highness?"
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were both shocked. They knew very well that the several princes who had fought for the throne were either dead or disabled, and they simply did not have the ability to do so.
Even though Jiang Wan believed in the Sixth Prince's aura as the leading man, she was a little skeptical this time.
"She was born to the late emperor... during his southern tour... and a concubine of an official family."
Qin Yu obviously didn't want to speak, his mouth was totally out of control. He covered his mouth frantically, but it was useless.
The words were spoken in a discontinuous manner, but Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan both guessed the truth.
In other words, the person behind the scenes is the prince who was abandoned by the previous emperor?
In other words, it was an illegitimate child.
Qin Lan froze in place, unable to help but reprimand Qin Yu, “Yu’er, why are you so stupid.
Even if he has the blood of the previous emperor, he is still a bastard. How can a bastard inherit the throne?"
She had only thought about avenging her son and had never considered that her brother was using her to support someone else to ascend the throne.
"He...saved me."
Qin Yu glanced at Qin Lan indifferently, and such an emotionless look made Qin Lan extremely heartbroken.
She almost abandoned Wang Jiasheng's children for him and Si'er, but how did he treat her?
Qin Lan slumped down on the spot, his head buzzing for a moment.
"Where is he?"
Song Jiuyuan frowned slightly and held Jiang Wan's hand with a little force. This matter was of great importance and he couldn't help but worry about the emperor.
"I have no idea."
Qin Yu said this very smoothly without struggling, because he really didn't know where His Highness was.
"How come you don't know? How do you usually contact each other?"
Jiang Wan has a good impression of the new emperor, and the new emperor also approves of her and Song Jiuyuan, so they naturally have to clear the obstacles for him.
"It was him who contacted me first."
Qin Yu saw how powerful Jiang Wan's pills were and stopped resisting. He sat on the bed where Qin Lan had been lying with a desperate look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan continued to ask for some more information, but unfortunately not much was useful.
I just know that if I want to contact this prince, I have to wait for him to take the initiative.
After asking, Song Jiuyuan looked unhappy and Jiang Wan was also a little depressed.
The two men left the cell, and Song Er excitedly reported the seized supplies, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the things they have collected in the past month have not been transferred out yet."
"I understand, my king."
Song Jiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Go to the town to take a count and return all the people's supplies.
The weather is cold and winter is coming soon. We can’t let our fellow villagers get cold.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Just as Song Er left, County Magistrate Wang also came to the county government office. When he saw Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan, County Magistrate Wang asked them questions busily.
"My Lord, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Go inside and wait."
Song Jiuyuan asked County Magistrate Wang to go to the county government office. He had not fully recovered yet and was pushed by the old housekeeper.
"Wan Wan, this is a serious matter. I'm afraid I can't go back with you. Please go back to the rest area first."
Song Jiuyuan looked apologetic, "This is a serious matter. I will write a letter to inform the new emperor so that he can be prepared."
"Well, go get busy."
Jiang Wan could understand Song Jiuyuan's responsibilities. Even after they left Kyoto, they could not forget their responsibilities.
Song Jiuyuan asked Song Yi to personally send Jiang Wan back to the inn. Mu Xiang had been waiting for a long time.
"Master, you are finally back. I have almost torn this Compendium of Materia Medica to pieces."
Muxiang grumbled to herself, but brought up the warmed food without any complaints.
The rich chicken soup was full of aroma. Jiang Wan washed her hands and sat down. "Thank you, Muxiang, you are so thoughtful."
"If the master is starving, who will teach me medicine?"
Muxiang smiled shyly, supported her chin with both hands, and watched Jiang Wan eat eagerly.
Jiang Wan was a little helpless, "How can I eat so much by myself? You should use some too."
"I originally prepared some for my master."
Mu Xiang shrugged helplessly, "But looking at your situation, I'm afraid Master will be busy for a while."
"It's a bit of a big deal, and he really can't get away from it."
When Jiang Wan mentioned the prince who wanted to rebel, she suddenly felt that the chicken soup in her mouth was no longer so delicious.
"Then Master, you can eat alone. I've already eaten."
Muxiang blinked, swallowed gently, and didn't look at the chicken soup.
Jiang Wan knew her so well that she naturally knew that she would keep all the delicious food, so she took a bowl and filled it with chicken.
"I can't finish it by myself. Eat quickly. After you finish, I will make something delicious to send to the prince."
"Thank you, Master."
Muxiang felt that the food tasted even better because the chef packed it himself. She puffed up her cheeks like a little hamster and ate it with relish.
“So delicious?”
Seeing how deliciously she was eating, Jiang Wan was also tempted. Mu Xiang chuckled, "Master doesn't know.
Before I was sold, I had never eaten chicken. Meat, such a precious thing, was reserved for my elder brother and younger brothers to eat. "
There are dozens of people in the family, big and small, and she, a little girl, can only do the work and doesn't even get a piece of meat.
Jiang Wan's heart softened when she heard this. She raised her hand and patted Mu Xiang's shoulder, "Follow the master, and you will eat meat every day in the future."
"I already knew that I could get a good meal by following the master."
At Muxiang's age, she would still be a junior high school student in modern times, and Jiang Wan is always extra gentle to her.
"I give you pocket money every month. Are you reluctant to spend it?"
She rarely saw Muxiang buy things on her own initiative.
"No."
Muxiang smiled awkwardly, "Master gave me food and clothes, so there's no need to buy more of these.
I want to save some money and make a medical kit like my master's."
Currently, she only has the silver needles and pulse pillow given by her master. Muxiang also wants to prepare emergency medicines like her master.
"I'll give you one later."
Jiang Wan said in a gentle tone, "Girls should be pampered. Buy whatever you like. If it's not enough, Master will give you money."
"Master, you are so kind."
Muxiang's eyes were filled with tears. The master was better than her mother, and she would definitely be filial to the master in the future.
"Okay, stop being sentimental and just read the medical records carefully."
Jiang Wan went into the room and took out a few small notebooks, which contained her medical records and some small notes.
"I'll go make some food for the prince and send it over. Be good."
"Master, I'll do it."
Muxiang felt that her great master's delicate hands were not meant to make soup for men.
Those are a pair of hands that save lives and heal the wounded.
"Stay still."
Jiang Wan glared at her unhappily, gave some silver to the innkeeper, and asked to use the inn's kitchen temporarily.
