Jiang Wan's lips curled into a smile.
She still had a score to settle with Madam Gu and her son, so how could she let them leave the General's Mansion?
So she took the initiative to offer Song Lin an opportunity, luring him into her trap.
It's just unknown whether Song Lin will regret missing the only opportunity to leave the capital in the future.
Jiang Wan then asked, "How is Shi Yin doing?"
"As you instructed, I've gone out of the city to investigate the Illusion Moon Sect. I should be able to return to the capital the day after tomorrow," Biluo said.
Emperor Jingyuan now firmly believes that the Illusion Moon Sect is related to the Miao people.
Little did they know that all the evidence about Miao territory was fabricated by Jiang Wan beforehand.
Jiang Wan was also very curious about the true nature of the Illusion Moon Sect, which is why she sent Shi Yin out of the city.
“Yuan Shi and Song Ziyu are still imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. My uncle’s ‘illness’ should not be delayed any longer. Let Shi Yin see His Majesty as soon as possible.”
Yuan Shi was always shrewd and would not sit idly by and wait for her fate. She could only feel at ease with Ji Rong in charge of the Ministry of Justice.
Moreover…
Jiang Wan brushed the book cover in her hand, her eyes lowered.
She had already realized that her mother's death back then might be related to Yuan's identity.
In the past few days, she has carefully read through her mother's notes and the books she left behind, and discovered that her mother was very interested in Youzhou and Miao territory before she died.
The Yuan family originated from Youzhou.
Although Youzhou is adjacent to Miao territory, there were many people in Youzhou who knew about Miao witchcraft decades ago.
But most people only have a superficial understanding; those as proficient as Yuan are rare.
Moreover, according to her recent research, the Golden Silkworm Gu in Yuan's possession is an extremely rare type of Gu worm, which is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with, yet Yuan has been raising it for many years.
If you calculate the time, she was not even twenty years old when she married the general. How could a young noblewoman have come into contact with the rare Golden Silkworm Gu?
When General Song fell in love with her at first sight, did he know that she was a woman who manipulated Gu worms...?
Jiang Wan frowned, pressing one hand to her forehead.
Shi Yin has extensive connections in the martial arts world and is skilled in spying, making him the most suitable person to investigate the old affairs of Youzhou.
But right now, his uncle needs him.
She couldn't find suitable manpower for the time being.
We can only make plans after we've resolved the situation in the capital.
“Now that my uncle is not in the Ministry of Justice, we can’t let our guard down with the Yuan family and Song Ziyu.” Jiang Wan thought for a moment and then instructed, “Send a few brothers from the cabinet to keep an eye on the prison, in case they make any moves.”
