Chapter 194 How long have you been gone?
"There's no need to ask for instructions. The emperor is busy with many things every day, so how can he have the time to deal with these things? Ask someone to keep an eye on them and check if they have contacted anyone recently."
Jiang Wanyue said it lightly.
Wang Jun's eyes moved and he understood what she meant.
This was to tell him not to alert the Emperor and to investigate quietly in private.
"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."
"Okay, step back!"
Jiang Wanyue waved her hand and Wang Jun immediately retreated.
After everyone left, Jiang Wanyue leaned on the couch and thought alone.
As for the guards, it might not be possible to find out the truth within a day or two, so she called Mi'er and Xing'er and asked them to keep an eye on it as well.
This matter involves the reputation of these palace maids, so it can only be done in secret.
Jiang Wanyue was worried all morning, until noon, when Li Ce came back for lunch and she temporarily put the matter aside.
After lunch, Li Ce leaned back and drank tea, chatting casually with Jiang Wanyue. As they were talking, the subject suddenly changed.
"Instead of going to the palace to escape the summer heat this year, I'll take you out of the palace to play in a couple of days, okay?"
Jiang Wanyue looked surprised.
"Really? Does the emperor have time?"
"There's nothing important going on in the court recently, so it's okay to take a day off." Li Ce took her hand and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Wanyue's eyes flashed, and then she quickly lowered her eyes.
"As long as the emperor accompanies me, we can go anywhere. However, it is better to go somewhere close, so that we can go back and forth in one day, in case there is an emergency in the palace and we cannot make it back."
Li Ce nodded, thought for a moment and said, "A new restaurant has recently opened in the city. It's very unique and has many specialties from the southwest coastal areas. Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Wanyue thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head.
"It's better not to go. I don't know if the food outside will suit your taste. Besides, the best chefs in the world are all in the palace! If the emperor wants to eat southwestern food, he can ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it! Besides, the restaurant is crowded and it's not convenient. By the way, how many guards do you plan to bring with you, Your Majesty?"
Li Ce hadn't thought about it that much yet, and said casually: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
"Your Majesty, the personal guards around you must be very powerful. They have been following you for a long time, right?" Jiang Wanyue asked about the guards with a casual look.
Li Ce sighed, "Some of them have been with me for five or six years, but there are also two who were promoted recently."
"Speaking of which, I don't know much about them. I don't know if they are married yet. If not, I can ask someone to help them find a match." Jiang Wanyue blinked, "As your personal bodyguard, the family background and appearance of these girls cannot be bad."
Li Ce laughed.
"What made you think of this? I've never seen you interested in matchmaking before!"
"I was just thinking casually. If they were to get married, they would surely be able to better protect the Emperor!"
Jiang Wanyue's words made Li Ce smile even more.
He pulled Jiang Wanyue into his arms and stroked her back with his hands.
"You don't need to worry about these things, Queen. You should think about how to give me another child..."
As he spoke, he leaned closer to Jiang Wanyue's ear.
Jiang Wanyue widened her eyes.
"Your Majesty! I have something important to tell you!"
"Isn't this the right thing to do?"
Li Ce was confident and put his hand quietly into her clothes.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall retreated in time, leaving space for these two people.
Half an hour later.
Li Ce left the Liangyi Palace feeling refreshed.
Jiang Wanyue lay lazily on the couch, closing her eyes and resting.
Not long after, Xing'er came in with the routine medicine.
Jiang Wanyue looked at the medicine, thought of what Li Ce had said before, and hesitated for a moment.
But the hesitation lasted only a moment.
She took the medicine calmly and swallowed it with warm water.
It's not the time to get pregnant again.
After drinking the medicine, Jiang Wanyue looked at Mi'er.
"Any news about the little boy in the Sanqing Temple?"
Mi'er's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
"I took the opportunity to go to the Palace of the Holy Spirit and stopped by the Sanqing Palace. The little boy said a lot about Concubine Xin, and his words were full of dissatisfaction and complaints."
"Well, be careful and don't let anyone find out. This little boy doesn't seem to have much brains. Remind him to be more careful in his daily life."
Mi'er replied yes, then took a few steps forward, looked around, and asked in a low voice.
"My queen, do you think that the child in Concubine Xin's belly could be the child of the boy's senior brother? In the Sanqing Palace, apart from the Emperor and Zhang Tianshi, there is only one adult male disciple, Zhang Tianshi."
The little boy was too young to do that.
As for Zhang Tianshi, in Mier's eyes, he was just like an enlightened monk. How could he do such a thing?
There is only one person left.
Jiang Wanyue frowned and shook her head slowly.
"It shouldn't be. Ling Lan has already had a reaction, which shows that she has been pregnant for some time, probably two months. But how long has she moved to Sanqing Temple?"
