On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

After Jiang Yanwan and Yun Ting went out, they took quick action.

Together they went to various departments to issue emergency notices and arranged strict security measures.

As the night deepened, Jiang Yanwan's heart was still restless. She had to find the emperor as soon as possible and tell him everything.

However, when she arrived at the palace, she was stopped by Concubine Yun.

"Empress Yun." Jiang Yanwan bowed and said politely, "I have an urgent matter that I need to see Your Majesty."

Concubine Yun smiled gently and waved her hand slightly, "Yan Wan, His Majesty left the palace this morning, on a private visit, and will not be back within three days."

Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened, "Then... who will preside over the ceremony to welcome the Western Region envoys in three days?"

Concubine Yun looked at her with a deep look in her eyes, "Before His Majesty left, he specifically told you to be in charge of this important task. I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to do it beautifully."

Jiang Yanwan finally understood what the Western Region concubine was talking about. She could not afford to make any mistakes and immediately bowed to Concubine Yun. "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Yanwan will definitely do her best."

After leaving Yunfei Palace, Jiang Yanwan quickened her pace. She decided to go find Wu Junyao tonight. Although there were some misunderstandings between them, at this point, she needed all possible assistance.

Wu Junyao's residence was brightly lit, and he was sitting alone in the courtyard, looking very worried. When Jiang Yanwan appeared, he looked up at her with a cold expression.

"Your Highness, Princess, you are such a rare guest." Wu Junyao said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and slowly approached him, "Commander-in-chief, this is not the time to worry about personal grudges. I have something important to tell you."

Wu Junyao sneered, "You and Yun Shaoqing are investigating the case together, and it's going very smoothly, why are you looking for me?"

Jiang Yanwan exhaled deeply, and slowly approached Wu Junyao, with sincerity in her eyes, "Governor Wu, too many things have happened during this period of time. I know there are misunderstandings between us, but I came here today to ask for your help."

Wu Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly, but still did not speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanwan gritted her teeth, took out a small bottle from her sleeve, and handed it to Wu Junyao, "Here is a poisonous insect that I fed with my own blood. It can cure your hidden disease. Although it can't be cured immediately, the effect is significant."

Wu Junyao looked at Jiang Yanwan in shock, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, "You...you are..."

Jiang Yanwan put the bottle down and continued, "I think doing this can be considered as a kind of compensation to you. I just hope you can help me and we can deal with this crisis together."

Wu Junyao stared at the small bottle in silence for a long time, and finally sighed, his tone softened a lot.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't appreciate it and will even use this poisonous insect against you?"

Jiang Yanwan shook her head and said firmly, "I believe you won't do that." After that, she added, "What's more, this is also my sincere heart."

Wu Junyao smiled bitterly, but it was only a flash. He took the bottle and put it in his arms. "Okay, since you are so sincere, I won't be polite. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Jiang Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly described in detail the progress of her and Yun Ting's investigation, as well as the plans for the next three days.

After the two discussed it, Wu Junyao finally nodded and agreed to participate in the operation to monitor Concubine Yun.

The next morning, Jiang Yanwan began to busy herself with arranging the ceremony to welcome the envoys from the Western Regions, while secretly arranging the task of monitoring Concubine Yun.

Time was running out, so she and Yun Ting worked day and night, not daring to slack off for even a moment.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Jiang Yanwan was already shuttling around in the busy palace.

On this day, her task was to go to the kitchen to check the cakes that would be used in the welcoming ceremony. The ceremony was approaching, and no detail could be neglected.

She walked into the kitchen and found it busy. The imperial chefs were working intensely.

At the afternoon ceremony, these pastries will be tasted by envoys from the Western Regions, and every detail needs to be perfect.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Jiang Yanwan greeted the busy imperial chefs with a smile. Everyone stopped their work and bowed to greet them.

Suddenly, she heard a low cry.

Following the sound, I saw a young palace maid huddled in a corner, her body trembling slightly.

Jiang Yanwan frowned and walked forward.

"Xiao Cui, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yanwan recognized that it was Xiao Cui, the palace maid in charge of pastries.

Xiao Cui was startled when she heard the voice. She looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yanwan. The fear and helplessness in her eyes were slightly relieved, but tears still continued to flow.

"Your Highness..." Xiao Cui choked up, "I...I was just bullied by the kitchen manager. Please help me."

Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened and she was burning with anger.

She turned around to look for the culprit, only to see the kitchen manager standing not far away. He had his arms folded across his chest, seemingly calm, but there was malice in his eyes.

"Butler," Jiang Yanwan said coldly, "Why did you bully the maid Xiao Cui?"

The steward was stunned for a moment, then he pretended to be calm and smiled sarcastically, "Your Highness, this is just a small matter. The palace maids were naughty and made mistakes, so I only gave them a light punishment."

"Light punishment?" Jiang Yanwan glared at him, her voice as cold as ice. "Does touching me also count as a light punishment?"

The steward's face changed drastically, but he still insisted, "Your Highness, please don't listen to the maid's one-sided words. She is making trouble for no reason!"

Jiang Yanwan said no more, turned around and ordered loudly: "Come here! Take this steward away and investigate thoroughly!"

Several guards responded quickly, captured the kitchen manager and took him away.

The kitchen suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the scene in amazement, feeling grateful and awed.

Jiang Yanwan turned around and said softly to Xiao Cui, "Xiao Cui, don't be afraid. If you have any problems in the future, come to me directly."

Xiao Cui was filled with gratitude and kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess. I will never forget your kindness!"

Jiang Yanwan smiled and nodded, helped her up, and continued to inspect the preparation of the pastries.

After confirming that everything was correct, she left the kitchen and returned to her room.

Three days later, in the early morning, the area outside the palace was bustling with activity. The detailed preparations and arrangements made by various departments made the entire palace exude a grand atmosphere far beyond anything seen before.

Jiang Yanwan was wearing a gorgeous and elegant dress. Although her face looked a little tired, her eyes were full of determination that could not be missed.

Before the welcoming ceremony officially began, Concubine Yun walked up to Jiang Yanwan and said with a malicious smile, "Yanwan, if today's ceremony goes well, you will have made a great contribution."

Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and said politely, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Yanwan will definitely live up to your trust."

The ceremony to welcome the envoys from the Western Regions was held as scheduled. The scene was grand and spectacular, which amazed everyone.

All the ministers praised her highly and were impressed by Jiang Yanwan's abilities.

However, just as the ceremony reached its climax, a guard suddenly ran over and whispered something in Jiang Yanwan's ear.

Jiang Yanwan's face changed, and she quickly walked to Yun Ting and Wu Junyao, whispering, "Something's going on!"

The three of them quickly left the main venue and came to the depths of a remote corridor. Yun Ting asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Yanwan replied in a deep voice, "Just now, a guard reported that several suspicious people were found searching for something in the palace. I am worried that they have bad intentions and need to find out immediately."
