They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Chapter 213 Fortunately I left

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Wanyue finally said nothing.

She just sat there quietly, listening to Li Ce excitedly speaking his thoughts.

After Li Ce finished speaking, he felt relieved for a long time and a smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Wanyue then asked thoughtfully.

"What about Wu Linglan? Will the emperor still follow what he said before? What about the emperor emeritus..."

Li Ce sat up and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"It's okay to go to the emperor. Let's delay it for now. If we can't delay it any longer, we can trick him into saying that Wu Linglan has been executed. Then we can move her to another place."

In Li Ce's opinion, this is not a big problem.

He is now more concerned about the truth behind Empress Wu's death.

He had also heard of the Wu family, which was once a prominent family, but that was a thing of the past. The family had already fallen into decline during the time of Empress Wu's grandfather. Moreover, the Wu family did not hold military power, and Empress Wu's relatives did not hold high-ranking positions.

I don’t know what the emperor was afraid of at the time.

It is not easy to find out what happened more than 20 or even 30 years ago.

Jiang Wanyue advised.

"It's understandable that the emperor has doubts and wants to investigate, but you have to take your time and don't be too impatient. If the emperor finds out, it will be troublesome."

Although Li Ce is not afraid of the retired emperor now, if the retired emperor gets angry and forces to death everyone who knows the inside story, how can he investigate?

After all, the retired emperor was Li Ce's father. Even if Li Ce became emperor, he could not ignore filial piety and act arbitrarily.

This is very different from the previous life.

But Jiang Wanyue secretly thought that it was better now. With restraints, she would think twice before doing anything, and any problem could be solved.

Li Ce listened to Jiang Wanyue's advice.

He nodded and said, "You are right. Although thirty years is a long time, there are many old ministers who have experienced the previous emperor's time. Your grandfather is one of them. There is no need to rush."

Jiang Wanyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed the subject.

"Qixia did a good job today. I promised her that I would let her follow the abbots of Tianfu Temple to the palace to pray for blessings in a few days, and let Rongfei meet her."

Li Ce frowned.

"We just met today, why do we have to meet again? Wei has changed his identity now, so it's better to keep a distance from the people and things in the past."

"That's what she said, but Concubine Rong misses her daughter, and Qixia misses her too. I can relate to this mother-daughter relationship, and I feel very uncomfortable every time I see Concubine Rong." Jiang Wanyue pretended to wipe her eyes with a handkerchief, "I thought that they were just weak women and would not affect the palace, so I agreed."

Li Ce was helpless.

"Since you promised her, just do as you said! But Qixia is cunning, don't let Yu'er and Yin'er have too much contact with her."

Jiang Wanyue nodded.

"I have written it down."

The two talked about some other things. As it was getting dark, the nanny came over carrying the crying Xu'er. Jiang Wanyue finally had the time to get up and go out.

She came to the back of the hall, took Xu'er from the wet nurse and coaxed him gently. Only then did she have time to ask Mi'er.

"You looked anxious before. What news did you get?"

Mi'er looked around, asked the nanny and the others to move away, then walked to Jiang Wanyue and spoke in a very low voice.

"The two midwives died unexpectedly."

Jiang Wanyue patted Xu'er's hand and paused.

She slowly raised her head.

"How did you die?"

"One said he was drunk and fell into the river and drowned. The other said he showed off his money outside and was seen by a few idlers who wanted to rob him and beat him to death by mistake."

Mi'er's voice was trembling with an uncontrollable tremor.

She wasn't scared because she heard someone had died.

Instead, the moment she heard the news, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

Now, facing her master, Mier held back for a long time, but finally asked.

"My lady, was it...the Emperor who sent someone to do this?"

Jiang Wanyue raised her head and looked at her expressionlessly.

"Get that thought out of your head. Don't ever say anything like that, even when you're alone."

Mi'er's face turned pale and she quickly covered her mouth.

When she thought of the ubiquitous internal guards, her heart began to beat wildly and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

She had forgotten how cruel she was when she was in Prince Jing's mansion and Prince Jing's master.

Seeing that she was frightened, Jiang Wanyue's expression relaxed and she freed her hand and handed the handkerchief to her.

"Okay, let's stop with this matter. Don't mention it again. Don't mention it to Xing'er and the others either, lest someone lose control of their mouths."

Mi'er nodded hurriedly, took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face, then suddenly realized that this was her master's handkerchief.

She was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Okay, you've sweated a lot. I'll let you rest tonight. Go take a bath and have a good sleep."

Honey bent her knees.

"Thank you, madam. Your majesty is so generous."

Jiang Wanyue waved her hand and let her go.

After Mi'er left, the expression on Jiang Wanyue's face fell little by little.

Then she sighed and said silently.

"Fortunately, Xiuchun and godmother are gone..."
