There's many ways to access the property you're interested in.

Here's one:

    String jsonData = "{ 'embed': { 'uri': '/presets/88930'}}";
    var jObject = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse(jsonData);
    Console.WriteLine((string)jObject["embed"]["uri"]);

if your jObject looks like:

var j = JObject.Parse(@"{""embed"": { ""uri"": ""/presets/88930"" } }");

dynamics makes accessing the object pretty easy:

string value = ((dynamic)j).embed.uri.ToString();
