Jiang Wan agreed.
Upon returning to Xingzhi Temple, Biluo immediately came to greet him.
Jiang Wan hurriedly asked, "Is there news about Zhuque?"
“Miss Zhuque said she wants to go out of the city,” Biluo said. “I heard that there is a nanny from the southern border living in the south of the city. She wants to meet her and maybe she will gain something.”
"Do we need to send some people?"
“No need, Miss Zhuque said she has already found someone to travel with her,” Biluo replied.
Jiang Wan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
She trusted the people she employed, and Zhuque was steady and reliable in her work; she just needed to wait for news.
What's needed most right now is patience.
She glanced at the cloak in Cai Die's hand and instructed, "Make preparations. I will be visiting the Empress in the palace tomorrow."
In the main courtyard.
Song Lin has been confined to his room for many days.
When Doctor Li was invited back to the general's mansion, he knew that his poisoning had been exposed.
He thought the matriarch wouldn't let him off easily, but to his surprise, she neither interrogated nor punished him; she simply locked him in his room.
Song Lin panicked even more.
This ambiguous attitude is like a sword or axe hanging in the air, causing people to feel uneasy and uncertain.
Not to mention the elder's wife, Song Ziyu should have already sensed his disloyalty. Once he is released from prison, he will not have a good end.
He cannot sit idly by and wait for his death.
Fortunately, Bi Yuan escaped.
With him outside to provide backup, even if the Song family wanted to kill him, he and his mother would still have a way out.
"Bang bang."
There was a sudden noise outside the door.
"Mother!" Song Lin stepped forward and asked through the door, "How is it? Did Uncle write? When can he take us out?"
Gu Yurong's anxious voice came over: "Lin'er, it's been five days, and there's still no news!"
"How could this happen?" Song Lin asked anxiously. "He said he would contact us as soon as things settled down."
Gu Yurong murmured, "Could it be that something bad has happened to him..."
“No way!” Song Lin said, “Only my father knows his identity. Everyone else just sees him as an ordinary retainer. Besides, the incident happened so suddenly that day, who could have stopped him beforehand? Let’s wait a little longer, just a little longer and it should be…”
"I'm afraid there's no time!"
Gu Yurong bit her lip.
"I heard that your father's case is about to go to trial, but Luhetang's side is very quiet."
What do you mean?
“I know Yuan Shi’s character. She’s cunning and calculating, and she always does things in secret. The fact that she hasn’t made any moves means she already has a plan in mind and is confident that she can rescue your father.” Gu Yurong trembled slightly. “Once he gets out, how will my son and I survive?”
Song Lin's face turned pale.
"How about this, you try to send a letter to the Imperial Concubine and ask to see her."
"Consort Yun?"
“That’s right,” Song Lin said. “Could it be that we’ve been relying on her for nothing all this time? Now that the Crown Prince is at the height of his power, overshadowing the other princes, she must be plotting for her two sons. Tell her that I have the General’s Mansion’s secrets! As long as we can be rescued, I’m willing to do everything I can to support the two princes.”
"Secret...what secret?" Gu Yurong asked, puzzled.
“My father used to let me in and out of his study, and I happened to see some things there.” Song Lin revealed a strange smile. “Speaking of which, it’s related to Xingzhi Academy.”
That old hag from Luhetang would definitely not dare to let these things see the light of day.
Otherwise, given Jiang Wan's temper, she would have torn her apart alive.
“Tell her that what I have can make the Song family obedient, but I am currently under someone else’s control and dare not speak out.”
Song Lin narrowed his eyes.
"She will definitely not regret cooperating with us!"
