Chapter 195: An Accident or a Murder
Mier frowned like her master.
"So, she hooked up with a man outside the palace when she was in the harem? But the palace rules are very strict. It was not easy for concubines to even leave the palace, let alone have contact with men outside the palace! At that time, the Noble Concubine was in charge of the harem! The Noble Concubine didn't like Concubine Xin very much, and there was no way she would give her a chance to be flexible."
Jiang Wanyue stroked the bracelet on her wrist without saying anything.
She has already asked Gong Zhengsi's people to investigate.
Ling Lan had only been in the palace for more than two months. To find out whether he had left the palace, one only had to check the records of his entry and exit.
However, Jiang Wanyue guessed that Ling Lan would not be so direct, and it would not be easy to find evidence of her having a secret meeting with a man outside.
Jiang Wanyue guessed it right.
Towards evening, Gong Zheng came forward to reply, saying that there was no record of Ling Lan leaving the palace.
However, it is not without any gain.
Although Ling Lan had never left the palace, during the two months in the palace, he often went to Liangyi Palace to accompany the emperor.
In other words, although she had never left the palace, she often went out of the inner palace.
Gong Zheng tactfully stated that since it involved the retired emperor, it was not something she could decide, so she came to report.
Jiang Wanyue waved her hand to let her go, and then paced back and forth in the hall.
It is not easy to investigate what happens around the retired emperor.
She thought about it and finally thought of someone.
Former eunuch chief Wang Zhong!
As the chief eunuch, Wang Zhong served the retired emperor personally and knew everything that was going on around him.
To put it bluntly, even if the emperor summoned his concubines to sleep with him, Wang Zhong would not leave the room.
Ling Lan often comes to Liangyi Palace. If he has had contact with anyone there, Wang Zhong must have some impression of him.
Jiang Wanyue gently hit her left palm with her right fist.
"We need to find someone to ask Wang Zhong."
After Wang Zhong resigned from his position as general manager, he left the palace to retire.
He bought a house in the capital many years ago and adopted his nephew from his hometown to take care of him in his old age. In addition, he had two godsons who also followed him out of the palace and lived a good life.
But who should I go to say hello to?
Jiang Wanyue was thinking when she heard footsteps coming from outside. She looked up and saw Xiuchun walking into the hall.
"Xiuchun, you're back?"
Jiang Wanyue smiled at Xiuchun.
Xiuchun quickly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.
"I'm back late."
"It's okay. Have you finished dealing with the outside affairs? Have you bought the things?" Jiang Wanyue asked casually, "I just happen to have something to do. Do you know who has a good relationship with Eunuch Wang Zhong?"
Xiuchun looked a little strange.
"Madam, are you looking for Wang Zhong?"
Jiang Wanyue nodded, sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea.
But unexpectedly, Xiuchun's next words frightened her so much that she almost knocked over the teacup.
"I left the palace today and heard someone say that a fire suddenly broke out in Eunuch Wang's house. He was unable to rescue the people and they have died."
Jiang Wanyue raised her head suddenly.
"what?!"
There was shock in her eyes.
"Dead? When did it happen?"
"It was last night that I heard about it. Half of the Wang family's house was burned down. It was quite a big commotion."
Xiuchun replied.
Jiang Wanyue frowned tightly, she held on to the table and looked at the tabletop with her fingers.
She never thought that Wang Zhong was dead!
It was so sudden.
She couldn't help but think about it.
Fire... This kind of thing can be said to be an accident, or it can be an attempt to cover up something.
