Putting the brush aside, Yinzhen looked up at Su Peisheng in front of him and asked, "How is the matter that I asked you to investigate going?"
"In reply to the Fourth Master, I have ordered people to investigate further. Now I have some information, but it is not certain. I will report the exact news to you when the people I sent out come back." Su Peisheng has always been a cautious person. He would never dare to report uncertain news to Yinzhen.
If it was an ordinary matter, since Su Peisheng said there was no definite news yet, Yinzhen would not ask any more questions. However, since it concerned Jiang Ranli, even if the news was uncertain, he still wanted to know it first.
Seeing that his master signaled him to tell the information he had now, Su Peisheng no longer hesitated and said, "I have learned that there have indeed been frequent gangs of thugs in Miss Jiang's gambling house in recent months. As to whether the gangs have any connection with the gambling house, it has not been found out yet."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen frowned slightly. If he was involved with the rebels, things would be difficult.
Seeing Yinzhen's heavy expression, Su Peisheng hurriedly said, "Fourth Master, please be at ease. Not to mention that Miss Jiang was not in the capital when the rebels were in and out of the gambling house, just looking at the character of Miss Jiang and Mr. Jiang, they would never have anything to do with the rebels. Someone must have deliberately framed them. I will send more people to investigate."
Su Peisheng's words of comfort pleased Yinzhen very much. He knew that Jiang Ranli would never have anything to do with the rebels.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen stood up and walked out, "Prepare the horses."
Jiang Ranli followed Jiang Fan's instructions and returned to the mansion to wait for news. However, before she had time to drink a sip of tea, Eunuch Li Dequan, who was beside Emperor Kangxi, arrived with the imperial edict and summoned Jiang Ranli to the palace to meet him.
Jiang Ranli felt complicated when she heard the news that she was going to enter the palace. Ever since she was divorced by Yinzhen, the emperor in the palace had never taken any action, but today he wanted to summon her into the palace.
It seems that the rebellion is more serious than he imagined, otherwise, Emperor Kangxi would not have summoned him into the palace.
Following Li Dequan into the palace and into the imperial study, Jiang Ranli saw Emperor Kangxi sitting on the dragon throne behind the desk, carefully correcting memorials. She suddenly felt as if she were in another world. It had been too long since she had been to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Lord Anjia's daughter has arrived," Li Dequan stepped forward and spoke to Emperor Kangxi in a low voice.
Listening to how Li Dequan addressed her, Jiang Ranli secretly sighed that he was a very thoughtful person. Now she was no longer Yinzhen's concubine, so naturally she could not be called a concubine. In this Qing Dynasty, she was not Jiang Ranli, but Anjia Oron's daughter Anjia Qingwan. In this situation today, it was not quite right to call her Miss Anjia, after all, she was already married. The best thing to do was to call her the daughter of Lord Anjia, because no matter what happened or how her identity changed, she was still the daughter of Anjia Oron.
Recovering her thoughts, Jiang Ranli knelt on her knees and worshipped sincerely, "Your servant pays homage to His Majesty, long live the emperor."
Because she was divorced, she was not considered the daughter-in-law of Emperor Kangxi. As the daughter of a minister, she had to perform great etiquette when meeting the emperor.
Hearing her voice, Emperor Kangxi put down the memorial and looked up at Jiang Ranli who was kneeling there. His deep and majestic eyes changed constantly, but after a moment, everything returned to calm and he just said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Jiang Ranli stood up to express his gratitude according to the rules.
