Chapter 211 Mystery
Seeing how confident the two men were in speaking, Li Ce had no choice but to believe them.
"It seems that Wang Zhong really set himself on fire and burned himself to death."
Li Ce muttered to himself, turned around and walked to the desk, put the case file down, and waved his hand for the two to leave.
But there must be other reasons.
Judging from the way he died, it was obvious that he did not die voluntarily, but rather had no choice.
If no one forces them, who would choose such a painful death?
However, the emperor was still alive, so who would dare to force Wang Zhong to commit suicide?
Someone in the palace?
They don't have that ability.
Which minister in the court?
Not likely. Wang Zhong's resignation from the position of general manager poses no threat to anyone.
Besides, he has a smooth personality and has never offended anyone seriously.
Li Ce paced back and forth, and suddenly, a person popped up in his mind.
Wu Linglan?
He suddenly remembered that the queen had mentioned this matter a few days ago.
Thinking of this, Li Ce turned around and shouted outside.
"Somebody come!"
Liang Gaosheng went to see off the Minister of Justice and the Right Vice Minister, so it was Wang Jun who came in this time.
Eunuch Wang bowed and stepped into the hall.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Where is the queen now?"
Li Ce asked directly.
Wang Jun lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress sent someone to say that she would send Concubine Rong back to Liufang Palace first. I think she should still be in Liufang Palace now, right?"
Wang Jun didn't dare to use an affirmative tone, for fear of giving the emperor the impression that he was spying on the queen's whereabouts.
Although the emperor may not think so.
In fact, Li Ce didn't think so. His mind was full of the cause of Wang Zhong's death and he had no time to think about anything else.
"Send a message... No, you take someone to ask the queen to return to Liangyi Palace immediately."
Wang Jun replied "yes" and hurried out.
At this time, Jiang Wanyue was talking to Wei Fuxue in Liufang Palace.
Wei Fuxue felt much better when she saw her beloved daughter, and there was more smile on her face.
As the two were talking, the new wet nurse and palace maids came over to report on the little princess's condition. Wei Fuxue asked them to bring the little princess over.
Jiang Wanyue looked at the little princess who had become much stronger and said with a smile.
"The little princess has grown stronger these past few days. The nurses are doing a good job."
Wei Fuxue didn't think much about it and nodded seriously.
"I haven't thanked the queen for helping me find these two wet nurses. They take extra care of the little princess, and I don't have to worry about anything."
This was not Wei Fuxue’s first childbirth, but it had never been as easy as this time. She didn’t have to worry about anything, she just had to take care of herself and regulate her body.
"This is what they should do." Jiang Wanyue's expression remained unchanged and she reached out and touched the little princess's hand.
The child is indeed strong and doesn't look like a premature baby at all.
After all, she wasn't a premature baby originally.
In order to prevent Wei Fuxue from finding out, Jiang Wanyue specifically asked someone to warn the wet nurses.
Even the other palace maids in Liufang Palace were reprimanded by the nanny, who told them to keep Wei Fuxue away from the child in the name of health preservation.
Wei Fuxue was not a thoughtful person, and she fainted when the child was born and did not see it. The first thing she saw after waking up was the child in front of her, so she did not notice anything wrong.
Even if I sometimes feel that the child has grown a little bigger, I think it is because of the good supplements I received during pregnancy and the good care of the wet nurses.
Jiang Wanyue thought, it was fortunate that it was Wei Fuxue. If it were someone else, such as Guan Rou, they would have noticed something was wrong long ago.
This was also the reason why Qixia was not allowed to meet this "sister".
I hope she can grow up safely!
Don't let her be affected by the things that happened in her parents' generation.
Jiang Wanyue felt a complicated mood, then she sighed and lowered her eyes.
Wei Fuxue didn't realize what Jiang Wanyue was thinking and changed the subject to talk about something else.
"To be honest, when the baby was born, I definitely thought that he would not survive... Fortunately, the two midwives were very skilled. Oh, and there was also that Dr. Sun, thanks to them. When the two midwives left the palace, I gave them a lot of gold and silver as rewards, but it was a pity that Dr. Sun passed away suddenly. By the time I found out, it was too late and I was unable to thank her in person."
"If you have the heart, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."
Jiang Wanyue replied casually.
At this time, a palace maid outside quietly ran to the door and whispered a few words to Mier.
Immediately, Mi'er's expression changed slightly.
Jiang Wanyue saw it when she looked up.
She put down the teacup, rolled her eyes, and stood up to say goodbye.
"It's getting late. I won't disturb you and the little princess from resting. I'll come back to see you in a few days."
She had her usual smile on her face and even teased the little princess before turning around and walking out.
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Mi'er followed him hurriedly and opened her mouth to say something.
Jiang Wanyue glanced over.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Mi'er quickly closed her mouth, took a breath, and nodded.
After going down the stairs, Jiang Wanyue got on the sedan chair and walked forward.
Not long after walking, they suddenly saw Wang Jun and two young eunuchs running towards them in a hurry.
Jiang Wanyue hurriedly called a halt.
"Where is Eunuch Wang going in such a hurry?"
Wang Jun braked suddenly, shook his sleeves, bowed respectfully, and then spoke.
"This old servant is here to see the Majesty. The Emperor has sent a message asking the Majesty to come over to discuss something important with him."
After saying that, he took a breath, lowered his voice, and said again.
"It seems to be related to Wang Zhong's death."
Jiang Wanyue looked surprised.
Wang Zhong has been dead for several days, and Li Ce just remembered to ask about it?
Previously, because she wanted to find out about Ling Lan and the emperor, Jiang Wanyue wanted to ask Wang Zhong, but learned that he had died unexpectedly.
Afterwards, she asked Captain Ma to ask someone about Wang Zhong's godson and adopted son, but nothing else was found.
Wang Zhong might have a secret, but he didn't tell these two people.
The fire started in the study. The fire burned the study completely, leaving nothing behind.
After that, Jiang Wanyue didn't ask anyone to investigate the matter any further.
What was more important at that time was how to dig out the behind-the-scenes forces that colluded with Ling Lan, so after hearing about Wang Zhong's matter, Jiang Wanyue put it out of her mind.
The sedan chair continued to move forward.
Jiang Wanyue frowned.
Could it be that Wang Zhong's death was related to some big secret? Otherwise, Li Ce wouldn't have been so anxious to call him over.
Suddenly, Jiang Wanyue had an idea and turned to ask Wang Jun who was following the sedan chair.
"Why would the emperor suddenly ask about Wang Zhong's affairs?"
Although Wang Jun was not serving Li Ce at the time, he knew a lot about the matter.
"After returning from Sanqing Palace, the emperor has been absent-minded, as if he has some questions. He ordered Liang Gaosheng to go to the Ministry of Justice to retrieve the case file of Eunuch Wang. The case file said that Eunuch Wang died of arson, but the emperor did not believe it. He summoned the Minister of Justice and the Right Vice Minister to question him. The two officials vouched for the fact that Eunuch Wang died of self-immolation and was not murdered. The emperor then sent the two officials back and ordered the old servant to come and invite the empress."
