She searched her memory carefully but couldn't find any recollection of this from her past life.
She remembered most of the major events that happened in the capital in her previous life very clearly.
If I have no recollection of it, it means that no major upheaval will occur.
Jiang Wan felt slightly relieved.
She changed into a simple everyday outfit, took a notebook, and sat on the tatami mat to read.
That was left behind by Ji Mingling. The book has been read more than halfway and is almost finished.
Based on the messages that Zhuque sent every now and then, she already had a pretty good idea of the origins of the former matriarch.
Seeing her quietly turning the pages of her book, remaining silent, Biluo couldn't help but ask, "Madam, about the divorce..."
Jiang Wan's gaze fell on the notebook, and she said softly, "No rush."
"Ten days later, send the knee pads from my dressing table to Her Majesty the Empress. I embroidered them myself, using the finest fox fur, and they are the best for keeping warm."
Biluo had no choice but to respond softly.
After the investiture banquet, rumors about the Chengping General's Mansion indeed swept through the streets and alleys.
Winter has arrived in the capital. After the busy farming season, it is the most leisurely time of the year for ordinary people, and also the time when rumors spread the fastest.
The common people often tucked their cotton sleeves into their pockets, gathered in groups of three or five, and chatted and laughed about anecdotes from the general's mansion.
In just two days, Song Lin's name has become the biggest laughing stock in the capital.
Like most of the women in the court, the common people felt great sympathy for Jiang Wan.
When the epidemic broke out in the capital, the medicine developed by Jiang Wan saved many people, and the public has always had a very good impression of her.
Recently, there have been widespread reports of her heroic act of risking her life to save Emperor Jingyuan.
Everyone assumed that Emperor Jingyuan would agree to her request for a divorce.
The common people don't understand the royal family and think things are very simple. Jiang Wan, the king's savior, suffered injustice in her husband's family. If Emperor Jingyuan knew about this, how could he do nothing?
We will definitely stand up for her immediately and severely punish the Song family's evil deeds!
The people made this guess and waited day after day for news from the palace.
As for whether Jiang Wan was stopped at her residence by the Eastern Palace guards when she entered the palace to meet the emperor, they did not know.
They waited day after day, but no news came.
People noticed something was amiss, and the discussions grew louder.
However, no matter how much people talk about it, it is ultimately a matter of public opinion.
Emperor Jingyuan, who was in the palace, had never heard of this matter.
He went to court as usual every day for the past few days, and after reviewing the memorials of the ministers, he found the court and the palace peaceful and undisturbed, completely unaware of the uproar among the people.
If there's anything unusual, it's that Pei Xuan has been visiting the palace more frequently lately, often accompanying him.
Although Emperor Jingyuan found it somewhat strange, he didn't think too much about it.
Until this day.
The Empress received a pair of knee pads from the General's Mansion.
