On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives
Chapter 54: No Escape
Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao walked out of the court and looked at each other, feeling grateful for having survived the disaster.
Jiang Yanwan said softly: "Thank you, Governor Wu. If it weren't for you, I would have already..."
Wu Junyao smiled slightly and interrupted her, "Princess, there is no need to say more. We are all thinking about the overall situation. This time we have finally exposed the conspiracy of Concubine Yun and Yun Ting. We must be more careful next time."
Jiang Yanwan nodded, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "Yes, next we must make sure everything goes well. Also, I have to tell the princess the good news as soon as possible, she will definitely be very happy."
After saying that, she hurriedly took Wu Junyao towards the eldest princess's palace.
Along the way, the scene in the palace was no longer as heavy as yesterday, as if everything had become clear. However, when they arrived at the eldest princess's palace, the situation was completely different.
In an open area in front of the door, the eldest princess was tending to the flowers and plants she planted, while next to her stood a woman in gorgeous clothes. She looked at the eldest princess with contempt, with a condescending attitude.
"Your Highness, you have suffered a lot over the years." The woman sneered, "But no matter what, if I hadn't blocked the sword for you back then, you would have died long ago. Now, shouldn't you repay me?"
The eldest princess's face changed slightly, but she still tried to remain calm, "Cousin, I will always remember your life-saving grace. But this does not mean that you can speak rudely to me like this."
The woman seemed unwilling to miss this opportunity and snorted coldly, "Remember it in your heart? Humph, I really don't know how you remember it. Is it that you live a comfortable life in this palace while I am forgotten and suffer in the countryside?"
At this time, Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao just walked over and heard these words. Jiang Yanwan frowned and walked forward, "Princess, what happened?"
When the princess saw Jiang Yanwan, she felt relieved. "Yanwan, you came at the right time. This is my cousin. She came to me today to ask for an explanation."
The woman turned her head and looked at Jiang Yanwan, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, "You are Princess Hefeng, right? It seems that you have some background, but this has nothing to do with me. I just want the princess to fulfill her promise."
Jiang Yanwan looked at the other party calmly and said softly: "Cousin, you saved the life of the eldest princess, and we are very grateful. But please be careful with your words. We will all do our best to repay your kindness, but we will never accept any unreasonable requests."
The woman sneered, "Oh? Your Highness Princess is quite tough. Then, please tell me, how can I 'do my best to repay'?"
At this moment, a maid came hurriedly and whispered a few words to Jiang Yanwan. Jiang Yanwan's face changed and she turned to the woman, "Cousin, wait a moment, I have something to say to the princess."
She pulled the princess aside and whispered, "Princess, according to the maids, they found that my cousin might have been in contact with Concubine Yun and had been passing messages to Concubine Yun."
The eldest princess widened her eyes in shock. "How is this possible! How could my cousin…"
Wu Junyao interrupted, "No matter what, we can't act rashly now. Let's test her first to see what her purpose is."
Jiang Yanwan narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and had a plan in mind.
She turned back to the woman and said calmly but with dignity: "I think we can sit down and talk about this."
The woman snorted coldly, "Talk? Fine, I'll see what you can say to me."
Jiang Yanwan ignored her attitude, but signaled the maid to bring some chairs and invited her to sit down.
Wu Junyao on the side remained silent and vigilant.
"Cousin, you just said that you saved my life, and we will always remember it in our hearts. Then, I want to know, isn't the eldest princess's care for you over the years enough?" Jiang Yanwan went straight to the point.
The woman's face darkened, and she sneered, "Take care of me? What you mean by take care of me is to abandon me in the countryside and let me fend for myself?"
Wu Junyao interrupted at this time: "Cousin, the affairs in the palace are complicated, and there may be some negligence, but this is definitely not intentional. If there are any shortcomings, please understand."
The woman glared at Wu Junyao and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense here! What I want today is not an apology, but substantial compensation!"
Jiang Yanwan looked at Wu Junyao, and understood what was going on. She said in a gentle tone, "Cousin, since you have specific requirements, you might as well tell us directly. We will definitely try our best to meet them. But please also understand that we must handle it within a reasonable and legal scope."
The woman's attitude softened a little, but she was still not satisfied. "I want to live in the palace. I don't want to live those hard days anymore."
Jiang Yanwan nodded, "We can discuss this request. However, there is one thing that must be clarified first."
She paused, staring at the woman with sharp eyes, "We heard that you have contact with Concubine Yun, is this true?"
The woman's face suddenly changed, her back stiffened, and she forced herself to remain calm, "Nonsense! You are wrongly accusing me!"
Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly, "Whether it is unjust or not, we will know for sure. However, we hope that you can sever your relationship with Concubine Yun, otherwise cooperation will be very difficult."
The woman was furious, "You are threatening me!"
The eldest princess finally spoke, "Cousin, we just want to make sure no accidents happen again in the future. Please understand our position."
The woman stood up suddenly and pushed the chair beside her away. "Okay, okay, if you don't believe me, I will go to His Majesty and ask him to give me justice!"
Jiang Yanwan watched her leave calmly without stopping her. She turned to the princess and said, "We can only take this gamble. If Her Majesty stands on our side, she won't be able to do anything to us."
The princess nodded worriedly, "I just hope Your Majesty can see clearly."
A moment later, the woman appeared in the emperor's study angrily and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have a grievance to appeal!"
The emperor looked up and saw that it was her. He frowned slightly and asked, "Cousin, why are you so panicked?"
The woman tearfully recounted her experience, and accused Jiang Yanwan and the eldest princess of being unfair. However, the emperor did not immediately express his opinion after listening, but pondered for a moment before saying in a cold voice: "Since my cousin has mentioned it, then we will investigate carefully to see if anyone in the palace has wronged you."
The woman was stunned, and then she proudly thought that the emperor would favor her.
Just as she was rejoicing, the emperor suddenly slammed the table and said in a cold voice, "However, if it is discovered that you colluded with Concubine Yun and passed on information that endangered the safety of the royal family, I will never forgive you easily!"
