Once the Crown Prince Joins In

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Wang Daoli insisted that he was taking the position of his elder brother, which was reasonable and reasonable. He did not mention that his brother was taking the position of uncle. This was tantamount to deceiving others. New Google Search Reading

Now Wang Shao's son adheres to his father's style and insists on taking over his father's errands, but does not mention how Wang Daoxin usurped Wang Daoji's position back then.

"Do the other members of the Wang family just ignore it?" Su Xinyi asked.

The waiter spread his hands and said, "It's even harder to say. Wang Daoji once had a fiancée called Luo Shi. Guess what?"

Su Xinyi felt a large pot of dog blood being thrown at her, and asked with a very curious look on her face: "What's wrong?"

The waiter chuckled twice and said with a slightly obscene tone, "My guest would never have imagined that Wang Daoji's fiancée Luo Shi regretted her marriage and married Wang Daoxin."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, "Isn't that right? Wang Daoxin is six or seven years older than Wang Daoji. How old is Wang Daoji's fiancée?"

"Hey, Wang Daoxin had a daughter-in-law whose surname was Zhang. She had a bad life. When she gave birth to a child, she lost two lives, and both of her mother were dead. By this time, Luo Shi had also grown hair, and she had a beautiful face. Do you understand? "

Su Xinyi didn't understand very well, but looking at the waiter's obscene smile, she understood a little bit. She looked at him in shock, "You mean Wang Daoxin stole his cousin's wife?"

The waiter hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't say that, but it's true that Luo Shi and Wang Daoji regretted their marriage, and it's true that they remarried Wang Daoxin. As for what happened between these three people, it's not clear."

The amount of information was a bit large. Su Xinyi knew that the waiter in the shop only knew so much, so he chatted with him for a few more words and asked with a smile: "Is there any good wine around here? I'll go get a jar?"

"Yes, walk forward after exiting the door, and turn right after the second intersection. There is an old tavern at the end of the alley. Their wine is famous for dozens of miles around us. Anyone who passes by here doesn't take a bottle with them. .”

Su Xinyi thanked him and walked out the door.

The best place to ask for information is the tea stall and tavern.

As soon as Su Xinyi went out, she felt someone behind her. When she turned her head, she saw the prince who had changed into regular clothes. She couldn't help but said in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"You're going to the pub?"

Su Xinyi suddenly realized that the prince was probably listening in the corner. She smiled and said, "Has your highness heard it?"

"This title is too conspicuous when you are away from home. Please change it to another one." Yan Junchu said seriously.

Su Xinyi felt worried. After thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "Brother Shiyuan?"

When investigating the salt merchant's case, he asked her to call him that. It was embarrassing at the time, but it seems to be okay now. After all, they are an unmarried couple, so there is less awkwardness.

Yan Junchu quirked his eyebrows and smiled, then nodded, "Let's go, I'm not worried about you going alone."

The corners of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched. If something really happened and a fight broke out, it wouldn't be convenient to take him with you, right?

But this complaint can't be said to show that His Highness the Crown Prince is shameless?

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said, "That's okay. If the wine is really delicious, let's buy some when we return. I'll go back and give it to my family and friends."

Yan Junchu looked down at Su Xinyi and saw her beaming. She said, let's bring gifts to the family. He doesn't have much family, only a father.

It seems that he really hasn't brought anything for his father alone, so it's not impossible.

The two of them walked side by side towards the old tavern. Su Xinyi asked in a low voice: "Did Brother Shi Yuan hear what I said before?"

Yan Junchu nodded, "In the previous news conveyed in Beijing, there was no such thing as breaking off the engagement and remarrying."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, this is not an unrelated matter. How come you didn't mention it at all?"

Yan Junchu hit the point, "You forgot that it was Wang Shao who complained."

Su Xinyi thought the same thing. Wang Shao was Wang Daoli's son, and he and Wang Daoji were rivals. How could he mention anything beneficial to Wang Daoji.

The two of them walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the old tavern that the waiter mentioned. At this time, there were actually quite a lot of people in the old tavern. Many drinkers ordered one or two side dishes in the shop and drank to their heart's content while holding up their wine glasses. newᴄᴏᴍ

The strong aroma of wine hit her face, and Su Xinyi said: "It is stronger than the apricot flower wine in the capital."

The alleys here in Ding'an are different from those in the capital. They are winding and winding. The ground is paved with blue bricks and moss grows in the shade. From time to time, there are flower branches sprouting out from the walls on both sides of the alley, adding to the beauty of the alley. A touch of color.

A sip of wine and a bite of food, looking at such a scenery, makes people feel particularly comfortable.

The two of them found the only table in the corner and sat down. Su Xinyi asked the prince to sit while he went to the shopkeeper to order food and get wine.

The shopkeeper was an old man who looked drowsy and could never open his eyes. He looked at Su Xinyi walking over and seemed too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Shopkeeper, please bring a few of your signature dishes and a bottle of wine."

The shopkeeper shouted, and the waiter behind him agreed, and then ignored Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi didn't take it seriously and took out the copper coins to pay the bill. While counting the copper plates, he asked: "Shopkeeper, I would like to order twenty jars of wine. Can I pick up the goods in ten days?"

"Okay, thank you for your patronage, twenty taels."

Su Xinyi estimated that the price was one or two per jar. The price was neither expensive nor cheap. She happily took out the silver and put it on the table. She smiled softly and said, "Can I ask you something?"

The shopkeeper had to put away the money and write a note to Su Xinyi for receiving drinks in the tavern. Without even raising his eyes, he asked, "What do you want to ask, young guest?"

"I would like to ask you something about the Wang family. Isn't it convenient?" Su Xinyi's voice became even lower.

The brush in the shopkeeper's hand paused, and the ink immediately stained the paper. The note was ruined. He put down the pen, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away. He took another piece of paper, this time without lifting the pen, and the paper could not be opened. His eyes opened at this time and he looked at Su Xinyi, "What do you want to know about, sir?"

"It's like this. Someone came to my sister's house to guarantee a marriage, and it was the Wang family. It was originally a good marriage, but now something like this happened. The family was not sure, so they asked me to come out and inquire. This I came to your tavern out of curiosity, so I asked you a few questions. If you can, just say it. If you can't, it doesn't matter."

Although Su Xinyi finished speaking with a smile, he had a sad look on his face, and there was a slight sigh in his words.

The shopkeeper was immediately amused and said, "You think you are quite amusing, girl."

Su Xinyi immediately looked around in surprise, and then said in a low voice: "You can see this, you are so dazzling. I have been walking for a whole day, and no one has noticed that I am a girl. I think I am pretending to be a girl. Why do you think so?" Can you tell?"

"I've seen a lot of people with my eyes. You can tell with just a quick glance."

Su Xinyi cupped her hands and said, "I made you laugh. Hey, my family wouldn't have let me take this trip if it wasn't a last resort."

The shopkeeper lowered his head and finished writing the note, blew on it, handed it to Su Xinyi when he was dry, and then said, "It's a good thing that the Wang family's marriage is not ended. Which of the Wang family will you choose to protect your marriage?"

Su Xinyi did not hesitate and said immediately: "He is the son of the commander who just passed away."

The shopkeeper said: "Not so lucky."

Su Xinyi wanted to ask again, but the shopkeeper waved his hand, lay on the table and started sleeping again, refusing to say a word.

Su Xinyi knew as soon as he saw it that it was useless to ask any more questions, so he simply returned to the prince with the note and told him the news he had learned.

Yan Junchu's dark eyes were staring at the wall in the alley outside the window. He didn't know what he was thinking. Su Xinyi poured him a shallow glass of wine, and poured a small one himself. He took a sip. Aftertaste, this wine is fragrant, strong and mellow enough to live up to its reputation.

When Yan Jun came back to his senses, he saw Pian Su Xinyi drinking happily alone. He looked at her and asked, "Does it taste good?"

"You live up to your reputation, Brother Shiyuan, give it a try." Su Xinyi squinted his eyes and smiled. People say that drinking makes you sad. In fact, drinking is also a happy thing most of the time.

Yan Jun picked up the wine cup and took a sip. He was quite surprised that the taste was really good. Although it was not as good as Yujiu, it still had a unique flavor. new

"Brother Shiyuan, what were you thinking just now?"

When Yan Jun first heard the words and looked at her, he found that A Yuan was different from usual at this time, and her eyebrows were gentler.

, and a little less guarded and alienated, as if the distance between the two had been filled in all of a sudden.

"I'm thinking there might be something wrong with this Wang Shao."

"I thought so too, let's think about it together again."

This word made Yan Junchu excited, "However, Wang Shao dared to take advantage of the situation, which shows that he must have some information about Wang Daoji."

Su Xinyi thought thoughtfully, "The shopkeeper said it's fine if the marriage is not concluded, which shows that he doesn't have a good impression of Wang Shao."

"You'll know when you see the person." Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, "Tonight I will let Yang Jin lead people to find the whereabouts of Prince Xiang."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, "Tonight? Then there will be no one around His Highness."

Yan Junchu said: "How can there be so much care when going out, and besides, you are here."

Su Xinyi coughed lightly, and then said: "That's okay, but we haven't received any more news all the way. I don't know if Prince Xiang has been found."

"We'll know when we get there," Yan Junchu said.

Su Xinyi didn't look very anxious when he looked at the prince. Thinking about it, although the relationship between Prince Rong and Prince Xiang was not very harmonious, they were not and would never leave him alone. Someone must have been arranged to find Prince Xiang's whereabouts.

Besides, King Xiang has his own bodyguards, so even if he is temporarily missing, his life should not be in danger.

Even now, we still don’t know what happened that caused King Rong to be injured and King Xiang to disappear.

The two of them returned to the inn under the moonlight. Yang Jin had already set off with his people. Su Xinyi lived next to the prince. She was very vigilant all night. The next day, when the sky lightened up, she finished dressing up.

Yan Junchu also got up early, opened the door and saw Su Xinyi standing outside the door, and asked with some surprise: "Have you been here all this time?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "No, I just want to knock on the door."

Yan Junchu nodded. He remembered watching Su Xinyi return to his room last night. If someone stayed outside his door all night, it would make him a little uncomfortable.

The two had a simple breakfast, and immediately got up and started on their way, finally entering the city gate of Ding'an at noon.

The autumn wind is already blowing in the capital, but the noon sun in Ding'an makes people dizzy.

They did not go to the Wang family, but went directly to the place where King Rong stayed.

People in Ding'an City are constantly coming and going, and the shouts of vendors come and go on both sides of the streets. There is a river passing through the city, and boats are constantly passing through it. Occasionally, you can hear the melodious singing of the boat girls.

King Rong was picky and refused to live in the county government office. He felt uncomfortable, so he found a large house to rent. Originally, Anton Wei arranged a house for him, but King Rong spent his own money to rent it to avoid suspicion. .

The group stopped in front of the house, and the guard guarding the gatehouse recognized them at a glance and ran over to greet them.

Yan Junchu took Su Xinyi inside and asked as he walked, "Where is Prince Rong?"

"When I return to Your Highness, the prince is recovering from his injuries in the front yard."

"lead the way."

The porter did not dare to say anything and immediately led the way, stepped onto the verandah, passed through the Moon Gate, and then turned into the courtyard with winding paths. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw King Rong sitting on a deck chair in the courtyard, accompanied by The one wearing it is Sheng Siming.

Sheng Siming turned around and was shocked to see the visitor. He immediately knelt down and saluted, "Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

King Rong was startled and immediately turned his head to face his elder brother's solemn face. He was about to get up immediately, but he got up too quickly and accidentally touched the wound on his arm. He grinned in pain.

Su Xinyi:......

Yan Junchu waved his hand to let Sheng Siming get up, then looked at Rong Wang and said, "You are really promising."

King Rong was so angry that he was jumping up and down, "Brother, I'm injured anyway, can't you say something nice?" He said dissatisfied words, but his eyes fell on Su Xinyi, "Why are you here too?"

Su Xinyi said with a straight face, "I have been ordered to escort His Highness and protect His Majesty's safety."

King Rong:......

So angry!

His father was just partial. Why didn't he ask his father to ask Su Xinyi to protect him when he came?

Su Xinyi saw that King Rong looked good and was still alive and kicking. It seemed that the injury was not serious. "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is missing. Has anyone been found?"

"It's a coincidence that you came here. I just found him this morning. I guess he fell into the water and was rescued by a boatman." The corner of Rong Wang's mouth twitched.

Yan Junchu looked at Prince Rong and said, "Tell me, what's going on? There are two great princes, one is injured and the other is missing. It's become a joke even if it's reported back to the capital."

King Rong became even more angry when he heard this, "Brother, it's really not my fault. King Xiang insisted on going to some riverside and said he wanted to see the place where Wang Daoli went before he died. I thought Just go, if he goes to the river, he still has to climb the mountain, and something will happen."

"Are there any mountains by the river?" Su Xinyi asked suspiciously.

King Rong covered his face, "What kind of river is that? People in Anding have never seen a real big river. There is a river at the foot of Quan'an Mountain called Jinling River. It is a little wider than an ordinary river and the flow is a little faster."

The corners of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

After Wang Rong finished speaking, they realized that someone was holding a new ship launching ceremony on the Jinling River over there, so many people went to watch it, and it was very lively. They originally wanted to see the place where Wang Daoli had been before, and they met Such things can only be done another day, so King Xiang suggested that since you are here, why not go to Quan'an Mountain to have a look, maybe you will find something.

Because at that time both King Rong and King Xiang believed that Wang Daoli's death was a murder, so since Wang Daoli appeared in Jinlingjiang before, he might have also gone to Quan'an Mountain.

Rong Wanglan didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand it when King Xiang said he was spoiled. He was excited and climbed the mountain together. Who knew that they actually found some clues on the top of the mountain, but when they went down the mountain, they were suddenly besieged. , King Rong was protected down the mountain by Sheng Siming and Xu Heng, but King Xiang accidentally fell down the mountain.

"At that time, I searched all over the mountain, but I didn't see anyone, so I guessed that he fell into the water. I have been searching by the river for the past few days, and I found the person early this morning." King Rong said with anger. "He was eating and drinking well on the boat and recovering from his injuries. I was so anxious here that when I woke up, I should have someone send me a message. He said he was afraid of being discovered, so he kept it quiet. I think he just wanted to mess with me on purpose."

King Rong's expression turned ugly when he talked about it, and he sneered at the end, "Brother, you wouldn't have thought that this time King Xiang also fell in love with the daughter of a boatman and said he wanted to take her back to the capital."

Yan Junchu frowned slightly, and Su Xinyi was also stunned for a moment.

King Rong was still angry and said angrily: "I've been so anxious that I couldn't find him these days. He's really good. How can he remember my brother when he's accompanied by a beauty?"

King Rong concluded that King Xiang did it on purpose. After all, they didn't deal with each other and they would definitely tease him when they found the opportunity.

Su Xinyi did not expect such an accident. She looked at King Rong and asked, "How will she be settled when she is brought back to Beijing? Concubine Li will not agree to a fisherman's daughter becoming the princess."

"What kind of princess do you want to be?" King Rong sneered, "It's enough to give her the title of concubine."

Even if a fisherman's girl becomes a concubine for King Xiang, she will be smoking on her ancestral grave.

Su Xinyi thought of Concubine Li. Concubine Li had been at odds with the queen all her life. The two had fought openly and secretly. Now if Prince Xiang brings a fisherman girl back, the queen might not see the joke.

Speaking of which, Su Xinyi didn't know much about Prince Xiang, but he was still an infatuated person.

"What did you find on the mountain?" Yan Junchu asked directly, ignoring these trivial matters.

When King Rong heard his elder brother's question, he immediately said: "Brother, we found on the top of the mountain that Wang Daoli had indeed been there, because we found one of his jade pendants, but the jade pendant was broken, and we only have half of it here."

"How do you know it was Wang Daoli?"

"The Wang family said that half of Wang Daoli's jade pendant was missing. I saw that half at that time and recognized it at a glance." King Rong said immediately.

"Where did Wang Daoli die suddenly?" Su Xinyi still doesn't know the specific circumstances of the case. She only knows that Wang Daoli died suddenly, but she doesn't know where he died.

"Right at home." Rong Wang said. "The death scene was particularly miserable, with bleeding from all the orifices. Wang Shao suspected that his father had been poisoned. After the autopsy, it was confirmed that he died of taking arsenic." Rong Wang said.

Su Xinyi looked at His Royal Highness and saw that he had been hit by arsenic. This should not be difficult to detect.

The laws of the Southern Qi Dynasty are clearly written. When people buy arsenic, they must register it clearly, and the quantity is also required. This thing is highly poisonous, and the government keeps a close eye on it.

Yan Junchu met Su Xinyi's eyes and said to her: "Arsenic is very strict for ordinary people to purchase, but it is not very effective for some people."

Su Xinyi understood that if people with power, status and money wanted to buy these things, they only had to spend more money, and it was not impossible to let others buy them for them.

If this is the case, it will be very difficult to check, and you need to check one by one. If the person who committed the crime has status, it would be much easier to cover it up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness King Xiang would like to see you."

Su Xinyi calculated the time and found that King Xiang didn't arrive quickly. It took them a while to get to King Rong. Logically speaking, King Xiang should have rushed over as soon as the prince arrived.

At this time, officials from Ding'an City also hurriedly arrived. Since they knew that the prince was about to come to Ding'an in person, the government office had been sending people to watch the city gate.

After staring for several days, no one was seen. Today he just took a nap, but then someone came. He was so frightened that he immediately went to report it to the adults.

wrong person? That's impossible. The visitor went straight to His Highness Prince Rong's house. How could this be wrong?

Not to mention the impressive figure in the lead, and the majesty of the guards following behind. Is this the kind of magnificence a small place like theirs can have?

This demeanor and this outfit will definitely not go wrong again.

The magistrate of Ding'an immediately rushed over to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. He happened to bump into Prince Xiang and entered the door one behind the other.

Su Xinyi retreated at this time. She was only here to protect the prince's safety. She would naturally avoid anything involving the court.

Yan Junchu noticed Su Xinyi's movements and glanced sideways at her.

Su Xinyi pointed to the eaves of the corridor, where she was watching, reassuring His Highness that she would not go far.

Of course Yan Junchu didn't mean this. He wanted to say that she didn't need to avoid him, but she had already moved away. It was useless and would only arouse others' suspicion.

"Qian Bing, the prefect of Ding'an, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yan Junchu waved his hand and said, "Master Qian, please get up."

Qian Bing stood up after hearing the words. There was already a layer of sweat on his forehead. He didn't dare to reach out to wipe it. On his territory, the two princes were injured and the other was missing. In the past few days, he really didn't dare to sleep. I took the people to look for them and finally found them. Before I could take a breath, His Highness the Crown Prince arrived.

"Brother."

Yan Junchu turned to look at King Xiang, who looked him over, and then said: "It seems that the injury is almost healed."

Prince Xiang smiled sheepishly, "It's my brother's fault that I made my father and eldest brother worried."

Yan Junchu looked at Prince Xiang, "After you were rescued, why didn't you report the news to your seventh brother?"

King Xiang said helplessly, "Brother, I also wanted to report the news, but I was separated from the guards. In addition, the Fu family's father and daughter thought that I was being murdered and were afraid of being discovered, so they took the boat and walked away. It is inconvenient to report to Seventh Brother."

Although Su Xinyi hid under the eaves of the corridor, the conversation here could still be heard.

She looked at Prince Xiang, and she could not quite remember what Prince Xiang looked like in her previous life, but the Prince in front of her looked like Concubine Li Guifei, and had no resemblance to the Crown Prince or Prince Rong.

King Xiang's words were sincere, and his face showed a bit of helplessness when facing King Rong's angry eyes. Su Xinyi felt that this possibility was also very high.

She knew about King Rong's petty ways, and he might be suspected of being a slanderer.
