On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives
Chapter 52 The culprit
Yun Ting nodded, "I will do my best to investigate, but you must also be careful and don't trust anyone easily."
Jiang Yanwan nodded solemnly, "Thank you, I will keep your reminder in mind."
At this moment, a young eunuch ran over in a panic, his face pale, "Your Highness, there's something wrong in the Imperial Hospital!"
Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened, and she asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
The young eunuch stammered, "I don't know where this madman came from. He suddenly broke into the Imperial Hospital and smashed everything. He said he was looking for some medicinal herbs..."
Jiang Yanwan stood up immediately and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
Yun Ting quickly caught up, and the two of them hurried towards the Imperial Hospital.
When they arrived at the Imperial Hospital, they saw a ragged man shouting loudly in the yard, waving a rusty knife in his hand, looking extremely dangerous.
Jiang Yanwan walked forward calmly and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you making trouble here?"
When the man saw Jiang Yanwan, he suddenly knelt down, his eyes filled with madness and despair, "Save me! They want to hurt me!"
Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled, and she felt that this matter was not simple. She signaled Yun Ting to help the man up, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"
The man trembled and said, "I am the deputy of the former Western Region envoy. Someone in our delegation betrayed us and colluded with the people in the palace to harm people. Last night, I heard their conspiracy. This morning they wanted to kill me to silence me. I had no choice but to flee here to ask for help!"
Yun Ting frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Yanwan, "We must report this matter to His Majesty."
Jiang Yanwan nodded, "But before that, let's take care of him first and don't let him get scared again."
She ordered several guards to take the man to a safe place to rest, and then returned to the palace with Yun Ting to report the matter to His Majesty and discuss the next plan in detail.
Along the way, Jiang Yanwan was full of confusion and worry. The undercurrent in the palace was so sinister. She clenched the dagger in her hand and swore secretly that she must find out the mastermind behind the scenes and seek justice for herself and those innocent people.
"Yun Ting," she suddenly asked, "Who do you think is behind this?"
Yun Ting pondered for a moment and said, "There is no conclusive evidence yet, but I suspect it is related to the crisis in the Western Regions that we encountered before, or perhaps to some extremely powerful person in the palace."
Jiang Yanwan nodded, a look of determination flashing in her eyes, "No matter what, we can't back down. We must investigate this thoroughly."
Yunting looked at her with a little worry, "Are you sure you want to continue?"
Jiang Yanwan answered firmly: "I have no choice. This is my responsibility and my mission."
At this moment, the palace gate opened, and a little palace maid ran in in a panic, panting and saying, "Princess, Concubine Yun wants to see you."
Yun Ting couldn't help but frowned, "It's Concubine Yun again? Why is she looking for you at this time?"
Jiang Yanwan smiled calmly, "No matter what her purpose is, we will just deal with it as it happens."
She walked towards the palace gate with a determined gaze and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the darkness would pass as soon as possible and peace would return.
Yun Ting whispered, "Princess, please be careful and don't take any situation lightly."
Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
When she stepped through the palace gate, a familiar voice came, "Your Highness, welcome."
Jiang Yanwan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Concubine Yun, still wearing that hypocritical smile.
"Empress Yun, is there anything wrong?" Jiang Yanwan asked calmly.
Concubine Yun smiled even more, her tone gentle but sharp, "There are some things I think I should talk to the princess about."
"Empress Yun, is there anything wrong?" Jiang Yanwan asked calmly.
Concubine Yun smiled even more, her tone gentle but sharp, "There are some things I think I should talk to the princess about."
Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled, and she was secretly alert, but she remained calm on the surface. "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"Princess, please follow me." Concubine Yun waved her hand gently, and the palace maids behind her made way for her.
Jiang Yanwan followed Concubine Yun to a beautifully decorated tea room, took a deep breath, took out an antidote pill from her sleeve and quietly swallowed it, then sat down as if nothing had happened. Concubine Yun personally poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Princess, please have some tea."
Jiang Yanwan took the teacup and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Concubine Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Princess, do you know? There are many things in this world that look beautiful on the surface, but actually hide endless suffering."
Jiang Yanwan was secretly alert in her heart. She took a sip of tea and looked up at Concubine Yun. "Your Majesty, did you call me here today to tell you a story?"
Concubine Yun nodded, "Indeed. I hope that Princess can understand something after listening to this story."
Jiang Yanwan asked with a hint of doubt: "What kind of story is it?"
Concubine Yun's eyes were deep, and she spoke slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a woman from the Western Regions. She was originally from the royal family of the Western Regions, but was forced to flee due to a coup and was exiled to the capital. At first, she was just a humble woman in a brothel in the capital, living a life of eating and sleeping in the open air every day."
Jiang Yanwan frowned, feeling vaguely that this story was not simple.
"Later, this woman was spotted by a noble and brought into the palace. However, her life did not get better because of this." Concubine Yun smiled bitterly, "She became one of the many concubines in the harem, being tortured every day and enduring endless slander and attacks."
Jiang Yanwan stared into Concubine Yun's eyes, her heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm. "So, what happened to this woman later?"
"Later, she finally gained the emperor's favor and gradually became the emperor's concubine from a humble concubine." Concubine Yun's smile gradually cooled. "Princess, do you know? At that time, it was a concubine from the Western Regions in the palace who made her homeless."
Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled, as if she understood something. She held the teacup tightly and asked in a low voice: "What does your Majesty mean..."
"That's right," Concubine Yun admitted frankly, "The woman who was forced to flee was me. And the concubine from the Western Regions who caused me to flee was the mastermind behind this that you are going to investigate today."
Jiang Yanwan suddenly felt as if she had suddenly realized something. "So that's how it is... This incident actually involves such a complicated grudge."
A trace of cruelty flashed in Concubine Yun's eyes. "Over the years, I have endured humiliation and hardship just for this moment of revenge. The descendants of that concubine from the Western Regions are still in the capital. They are trying to regain power through this crisis in the Western Regions. And I will never let them succeed."
