Once the Crown Prince Joins In

384: Murder and silence

Aunt Luo's expression became serious. Ji Yun felt something in his heart, and his heart suddenly sank. He wanted to say something but saw that Aunt Luo had already walked out, and her face became even more ugly.

Aunt Luo sent Princess Wu back to the palace respectfully and distantly. At this time, King Wu had not returned to the palace. Aunt Luo was waiting in the mansion, but did not enter the backyard, but waited in the front yard.

As soon as Ji Yun saw her, he knew that Concubine Ruan Ming wanted Nanny Luo to complain to King Wu.

She pursed her lips, but without turning her face down, she turned and entered the backyard.

Looking at Princess Wu's back, Grandma Luo didn't even blink her eyelids, and her slightly drooped eyelids also showed a bit of coldness.

Princess Wu relied on the fact that the prince personally asked for this marriage. She felt that she had dignity in front of the prince, so she did things without any scruples.

There are many such people in the harem. Although His Majesty was doting on Concubine Li in the early years, there were not others around him. Those who were shallow-eyed, shallow-minded, and unable to control their tempers were all in this harem. It went down.

If you want to live a decent life, you can't just rely on your face.

The princess is still too young.

King Wu returned home quickly after getting the news, and walked over quickly when he saw Grandma Luo.

Aunt Luo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I have met the prince."

"Mom, please get up. Why are you here today? Is there something wrong with your mother and concubine?" King Wu asked hurriedly.

Grandma Luo smiled but said nothing.

As soon as King Wu saw it, he took Grandma Luo to the study, followed by a little girl who poked her head around and turned to the backyard.

Aunt Luo withdrew her eyes from the corner of her eye. Oh, no wonder Princess Wu was so courageous. She even dared to have people stare at her in the prince's study.

You have to talk to your empress about this matter. This is no small matter.

After entering the study, Grandma Luo looked at King Wu and said, "My lord, do you know that the princess accepted Princess Yi's post and went to Prince Yi's Mansion as a guest?"

King Wu was startled when he heard this, and then said: "I know, why did grandma suddenly ask about this?"

Hearing that the prince actually knew, Grandma Luo was also stunned for a moment.

King Wu never spoke much. Looking at Nanny Luo's expression, he didn't speak at this time. He just looked thoughtful and said after a long while: "Princess Yi said that the chrysanthemums in her residence are blooming very well, and there is nothing familiar to her when she first arrived in the capital." People, so they held a small banquet for the princess to come and sit down."

Listening to the prince's unconcerned tone, Grandma Luo guessed that the princess must have spoken unclearly, so she said directly: "Princess Yi also sent a message to Princess Jing, but Princess Jing refused. The empress knows this. After the incident, I asked the old slave to inquire about the news. Princess Yi not only sent invitations to the two princesses, but also invited several ladies, but everyone else refused, and only a few ladies with no obvious official status attended the banquet."

King Wu's expression turned serious at this moment. He thought it was just a small banquet of little importance as the princess said.

Looking at the expression on the prince's face, Grandma Luo said from the side: "After the empress got the news, she was so angry that she almost fainted, and then asked the princess to enter the palace. The empress did not see the princess and asked her to stand outside the palace, but The old slave sent the princess out of the palace, and when he saw the princess, he looked very dissatisfied with the empress."

When Grandma Luo said this, she looked at the prince with an increasingly ugly look, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, others don't know, but the prince knows that it is not easy for the empress to be in the harem for so many years. In order to protect the prince and grow up well, she said , I almost lost my life in the early years. In my heart, nothing is more important than the prince."

King Wu pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Aunt Luo knew that the prince's temperament had always been like this, so she added, "After receiving the news, my heart felt like it was fried. I didn't sleep a wink all night last night, just thinking about a punishment today." The princess was able to figure out where she went wrong, but as a result... the princess not only didn't know she was wrong, but she was also dissatisfied with the empress."

"Mommy..."

Aunt Luo's eyes were red and she was slightly choked up. "Your Majesty, I know that you asked for the princess yourself. Don't blame the empress for being cruel. Now that the prince has married and established a family, and the situation in the court is so dangerous right now, Concubine Li and Prince Xiang, you know that the life of the prince is already difficult, and you should be more cautious in doing things at this time. Especially, in the eyes of Concubine Li, you share the worries of His Highness, and you have long been dissatisfied with the queen and the prince. If Concubine Li is Mother and son have found out, if the prince is really angered by His Majesty, how will your mother live?"

King Wu's face was green and purple. He looked at Aunt Luo and said, "Auntie, I know. You go back and tell the concubine to make her feel at ease."

"The queen said that if the prince is free, he will come to the palace. If he is busy with errands, that's all." Grandma Luo said with a smile.

"I will go back to the palace with my mother." King Wu stood up immediately.

Aunt Luo often felt relieved in her heart. It seemed that the empress was more important to the prince.

King Wu followed Grandma Luo into the palace. Ji Yun in the backyard was so shocked that he couldn't speak, "Has the prince entered the palace?"

Yin Bei's expression wasn't good either, "Yes, Princess, she walked with Mother Luo."

Ji Yun's face turned completely dark. Jinzhan was beating her legs. After standing for so long, the legs were no longer hers.

She had suffered so much and been treated so harshly by Concubine Ming, so the prince actually entered the palace like this?

Her heart sank, the expression on her face fluctuated, and she said after a while: "Yinbei, go back home, and I'll write a letter to my mother."

On the other side, King Wu entered the palace and talked with Concubine Ruan Ming and her son. Not to mention how Su Xinyi in the East Palace also got the news of Ji Yun's punishment. The news spread so quickly. She looked at Aunt She and said: "Concubine Ming is really an exquisite woman. people."

This was because the news was deliberately released to the Queen and her. Whether Princess Wu was careless or had another purpose, Concubine Ruan Ming had already punished her, which was considered an explanation.

Although, Su Xinyi doesn't need to explain anything here.

But Concubine Ruan Ming still did this. Su Xinyi thought that Concubine Ruan Ming was very smart. She guessed from the attitude of the emperor and empress that she had some subtle feelings towards King Yi and his wife. Did she sense the crisis?

If this is the case, what makes you get to where you are today is not luck, but brains.

In the previous life, King Rong and the Crown Prince had a serious quarrel, and King Xiang fished in troubled waters. King Wu and King Jing were able to live peacefully, so it was no coincidence.

In this case, Su Xinyi looked at Nanny She and said, "Concubine Ruan Ming punished Princess Wu, but I don't know what King Wu would think."

Aunt She couldn't say much, so she thought about it and said, "Look back and see if King Wu treats Princess Wu as before."

"I asked Aunt Luo to go to the palace, and then invited King Wu back to the palace. It seems that Concubine Ruan Ming is really dissatisfied with Princess Wu, and she doesn't even want to cover it up." Su Xinyi said.

Grandma She sneered, "If you can do such a thing, you should have thought of the consequences."

Concubine Ruan Ming and her son had been keeping a low profile all their lives, but when they came to Princess Wu, they were suddenly turned upside down.

"Yes." Su Xinyi had a bad impression of Ji Yun, but she didn't expect her to do such a thing. "I wonder how the Ji family will react when they find out about this."

Aunt She didn't dare to guess, "Princess, do you think the Ji family knows about this matter?"

Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's hard to say."

Master Ji is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although this official position is not very high-level, it has considerable power. People who can achieve this position are definitely not stupid. Moreover, Mrs. Ji has a good reputation. She should not raise a idiot. .

If this is the case, the Ji family will be very subtle.

Su Xinyi couldn't guess whether the Ji family knew about it, but Ji Yun could do such a thing, not to mention the reason, at least he was brave.

It would be okay if she didn't know that Princess Jing rejected the post, but if she still did it knowingly, then it would be very interesting.

Su Xinyi looked at Nanny She, "The news of Concubine Ruan Ming's doing this will definitely spread, and Concubine Li will definitely add insult to injury."

Grandma She nodded.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Su Xinyi is not sure whether there is any contact between King Yi and Concubine Li. Maybe she can use this matter to find out. "Prince Rong's marriage is just around the corner. There will definitely be no action from the Queen's side. We must first focus on Prince Rong's marriage."

She really didn't expect Ji Yun to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi pondered, fearing that the Queen would also inform King Rong and ask him not to get involved.

Su Xinyi's guess was correct. The queen indeed called Prince Rong into the palace to give instructions.

King Rong looked at his mother for a while and said, "I feel like I'm quite brainless. Why is there someone stupider than me?"

The Queen was so stupefied by these words that she didn't know what to say for a moment, and she was quite self-aware.

King Rong clicked his tongue, looked at his mother and said, "What do you think the third brother thinks and why he likes such a person? He asked for this marriage himself. Ji Shilang doesn't know how to raise children."

The queen covered her face, not knowing what she was like and why she had the nerve to talk to others.

However, for the sake of her own birth, she looked at her son seriously and said: "In short, you and King Yi can only maintain normal interactions. I can't decide what to do when the prince goes south this time. I have been uneasy in my heart. "

King Rong nodded when he heard the Queen Mother's words, "Eldest brother said before he left that he asked me to keep an eye on King Yi for Su Xinyi. I'll remember it."

"Call sister-in-law."

"Hey, okay." King Rong just said it smoothly. In the past, the two of them didn't deal with each other. They quarreled every time they met. They can no longer call out names. If someone heard this and read his book, it would be a little troublesome.

"Just remember it." The queen warned her troubled son again, "There's one more thing. Your wedding is coming soon. At Zheng Guogong's house, would you like to invite Miss Zhu to visit your house? Martial Arts Arena?"

"Don't bother, right?" Wang Rong said blankly, "Su... my sister-in-law is very busy and picky, so I just copied her. I think she's pretty good. Zhu Chanyi can't find anything wrong with her."

The queen took a deep breath and suddenly felt that her future daughter-in-law was pitiful. That's all. When someone came in, she had to take care of her son a little more.

King Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. He was busy here. Seeing that the queen was fine, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the East Palace for a walk. The inner court is also busy. Huang Zhongsheng, the old fox, listens to the words of his elder brother. Now you don’t want to share a lot of things for me, and you can see that I have lost weight because of my busy schedule.”

The Queen forced a smile and said, "Don't act recklessly when you get to the East Palace. Your eldest brother is not here. You must be polite and don't break the rules. Go ahead."

King Rong left Yuanhui Palace very melancholy. Hey, the man who was about to marry a wife, his mother could only see her eldest brother's wife and her future wife.

King Rong went directly to the East Palace. Remembering his mother's words, he went to see Zhang Jian first.

When Zhang Jian heard that this gentleman was coming, he immediately came out to see the people and said, "My subordinates pay homage to the prince."

King Rong waved his hand casually, looked at Zhang Jian and asked, "Is there nothing going on in the East Palace recently? Is your sister-in-law always okay?"

Zhang Jian was a little surprised. Remembering what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said before, he still respectfully replied: "Everything is fine with the Crown Princess. The East Palace is closed to thank guests. There is nothing going on at the moment."

King Rong asked what could be the matter. He looked at Zhang Jian and said, "Go and ask my sister-in-law to come over. I have something to ask."

Zhang Jian's mouth twitched, thinking that Prince Rong really cared about food and not fights. If the Crown Princess heard this, she would definitely give him a kick, no matter how big or small.

However, Zhang Jian knew King Rong's temperament and could not confront him directly, so he went to Deyang Palace in person.

Su Xinyi did not expect that Prince Rong would come back and tidy up his appearance before going to the front hall and asking Zhang Jian as he walked, "Did the prince say anything?"

Zhang Jian shook his head, "Your Majesty didn't say anything."

Su Xinyi wondered if it was because of Ji Yun's matter?

Walking all the way to Mingguang Hall, I saw Prince Rong sitting boredly on the steps in front of the hall, without any dignity that a prince should have.

When King Rong heard the footsteps, he turned his head and saw Su Xinyi coming. He immediately stood up, looked at her and said, "Brother is still worried that you won't be able to eat in Beijing after he leaves. I see that you look very good. .”

Su Xinyi:......

Some people are born to deserve a beating!

Seeing Su Xinyi almost rolling his eyes, King Rong said hurriedly: "It's very hot outside, let's go to the pavilion over there to talk."

Su Xinyi followed King Rong over and sat down. The pavilion was bright and bright, and the guards could see the scene here from a distance, but they would not hear their conversation. King Rong was really making progress now.

"Seventh brother, why did you come to the East Palace all of a sudden?" Su Xinyi asked, trying his best to put on a harmonious smile.

However, King Rong felt his whole body tingle. He glanced at Su Xinyi, muttered something in his mind, and then said, "Didn't I hear about the matter with Third Brother? I came over to ask what happened."

"Can the Queen tell you clearly?" Su Xinyi didn't believe it.

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Why are you pretending to me here? I don't know who you are. My mother must have reservations about what she said. Otherwise, what would I do to you?"

"That's good, I want to ask you something." Su Xinyi was happy. Isn't this a ready candidate? Why did he forget about King Rong.

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi defensively, "What do you want to know? I can only tell you what I know. I can only tell you what I can tell you..."

"Then it's easy for the prince to leave!"

King Rong is so angry, why can't he be allowed to talk as fast as he wants?

"Okay, okay, you ask!"

Su Xinyi looked at King Rong and thought about what he said, "I heard that Princess Runyi and the Second Young Master Jiang were engaged. What on earth is going on?"

King Rong:! ! !

This doesn't allow people to live anymore, so you ask this question?

Su Xinyi was just testing it out, but looking at King Rong's guilty look, he really knew it!

The smile on Su Xinyi's face faded, "Speaking of which, I have met Mrs. Jiang several times. Mrs. Jiang is relaxed and able to advance and retreat appropriately. She also has plans for the marriage of their two sons. Mr. Jiang is determined to do so." This can be seen when you marry Miss Lu. The second young master is engaged to Princess Runyi. Isn’t this a joke? "

Listening to Su Xinyi's unabashed sarcasm, King Rong's face turned black and green, but he still couldn't help but said, "It doesn't matter who you say Qiong Si marries to you. Why do you care about this?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Miss Jiang and I are in love with each other."

King Rong choked, what kind of relationship could this be!

Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong's silence, thought for a moment and said, "Master Jiang and my cousin-in-law are good friends. My cousin-in-law works for His Highness the Crown Prince. If Princess Runyi marries into the Jiang family, it won't matter if you say so." ?”

King Rong's head hurt. He couldn't remember who her cousin-in-law was, so he asked, "Which cousin-in-law is yours?"

"Gao family."

"The son of Prime Minister Wang." King Rong felt a toothache. Wang Ce, this is not an easy person to fool. He was a young Jinshi and was named on the gold medal list. If he hadn't contracted an illness before the exam, he would have been the number one scholar.

He took the exam even though he was ill, and ranked second only to Chuan Lu. Although he did not win the first prize, he was even more prosperous than the first prize that year.

An honest person like Jiang Zhongqing somehow became friends with a fox like Wang Ce.

Thinking of this, King Rong looked at Su Xinyi, hesitating and not knowing what to say. His mind turned around, and then he said, "Didn't my aunt take my cousin to the Jiang family for a banquet that day?"

"Well, I know, it's better to go uninvited."

King Rong was angry, pinched his nose and said, "Just be polite and you'll catch up."

"Look at what you said, why didn't others catch up?"

King Rong almost vomited blood and held his breath, but he still said: "Let me tell you, this incident is really a coincidence. The second young master Jiang was tricked by his own girl and drank something he shouldn't have drank by mistake. It happened that Qiong Si gave him Hit."

At this point, he looked at Su Xinyi with a very subtle look, and immediately said: "Don't think nonsense, nothing happened. It was just that Jiang Zhongnian's clothes were disheveled at that time. Qiong Si was not saving him from Shuhuo, the two of them were close to each other. A little bit..."

Su Xinyi:......

"The Guangping County Prince's Palace has never had any contact with the Jiang family. How come Princess Rirunyi was able to find the place where the Second Young Master Jiang was, and how could a beauty save the scholar?"

Su Xinyi didn't believe a word of it.

King Rong was speechless, and then sighed, "Then what do you think we should do? No one has any evidence anyway."

"What about the girl?" Su Xinyi had a bad feeling.

"After Mrs. Jiang rushed over, she was about to be dragged down for interrogation. At that time, she hit the wall and died." King Rong said with an inexplicable guilt.

"Oh, murder and silence, just like some people's style."

There is no time to talk today.

King Rong simply surrendered and did as he pleased.
