Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Chapter 392 393: Crossing the river and burning the bridge Su Xinyi

Zhu Chanyi looked at the Queen and then at King Rong, and then thought about Su Xinyi's words, and her heart began to waver.

Yan Qiongsi is the Queen's beloved niece and the cousin whom King Rong has always protected. However, the relationship between Yan Qiongsi and the Crown Princess is very bad.

Now that something like this happened, the Crown Princess was on good terms with the Jiang family and would definitely be on the side of the Jiang family, but the Queen and King Rong would definitely feel more sorry for Yan Qiongsi.

As for her, of course she is on the side of the Crown Princess. With Yan Qiongsi's temperament, whoever gets it will be unlucky.

However, Zhu Chanyi was cautious and did not speak. She had just married Prince Rong and had not yet gained the queen's trust. If she spoke for the crown princess at this time, not only would she not be able to help her, but it might even harm her.

I was anxious in my heart, but I couldn't show it on my face.

At this moment, Zhu Chanyi heard the Crown Princess speak again.

"Mother, I know that you feel sorry for Princess Runyi. Although the princess and I had some unpleasant quarrels, when my brother was injured, I still accepted the princess's guidance, and all the previous grudges were gone. Besides, now, I am deeply grateful that the queen protects me like this, and naturally I also hope that the princess can have a good marriage, which also relieves the queen's worries about the princess."

Zhu Chanyi:......

I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so good at talking. The last time they talked in private, she didn't have such affection for Yan Qiongsi. She had to learn from the Crown Princess.

Seeing that the expression on the queen's face softened, Zhu Chanyi glanced at King Rong again. Sure enough, King Rong's face looked much better.

admire.

Su Xinyi didn't know what Zhu Chanyi was thinking. She looked at the Queen seriously and then said: "But Queen Mother, think about how this marriage came about. I am now more inclined to believe that Mr. Jiang does not know the inside story. Mrs. Jiang Maybe he is still hiding it. Mr. Jiang has been in charge of the household department for many years, and his father has always trusted him. It is because of Mr. Jiang’s character. If Mr. Jiang knows the truth, I think Mr. Jiang will fight to be beaten by his father. Huang Qian rebuked him angrily, but he would not let his son suffer such injustice. If it really comes to that, who do you think will be the most embarrassed? Only the princess. "

The queen's face stiffened slightly when she heard this. She knew her own family affairs. Of course she knew that Qiongsi's reputation in the capital was not very good now, and it was all related to Shang Junyan.

But the queen cannot be unconscionable and say that it is all Shang Junyan's fault. Now that Qiong Si and the Jiang family are engaged, the queen of the Jiang family is very satisfied, and she is even more satisfied with the second son.

She was satisfied, but she also knew that this marriage was a bit strange. Although her sister came to the palace and spoke very grandly, her son made it clear to her.

She originally thought that even if the Jiang family was suspicious, but the matter had reached this point and the two families had negotiated the marriage peacefully, the matter was considered stable.

Now that Su Xinyi said this, the queen also felt drummed in her heart.

She had never dealt with Jiang Jun before, but she knew one thing. Being able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years showed how deep His Majesty's trust in him was.

Based on this, if the two families really got into trouble, she couldn't say how His Majesty would deal with it.

After all, the Prince of Guangping County is just an idle royal family. A few days ago, he was ordered by the emperor to reflect at home. Although the Princess of Guangping County is his sister, His Majesty will not easily engage in official favoritism before encountering a real big event.

If...if what Su Xinyi said is true, if Jiang Jun really doesn't know the inside story now, then when he learns the inside story, he will definitely fight back.

The queen had a terrible headache, a terrible headache.

She didn't understand why Jones' marriage was so twists and turns.

Moreover, Su Xinyi also told her that there seemed to be no connection between Qiong Si, Xu Yurong and Fu Yun, but Yuling Temple made her uneasy.

Not to mention the hunting grounds, this is where King Yi and Ji Shilang met. Choosing this place was frightening.

The queen's thoughts were racing, and she was a little upset for a while.

King Rong was more direct. He looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you mean Jiang Jun will object to this marriage?"

Su Xinyi knew that King Rong's thoughts were different from those of ordinary people. He was also a bit protective of his shortcomings. He probably grew up with his cousins ​​from Guangping County Prince's Mansion and had a deeper relationship, so even though he knew that Yan Qiongsi had done something wrong, he was still willing to do so. Dealing with her several times.

When Su Xinyi thought of this, she looked at King Rong and smiled, "Seventh brother, let me ask you, if your son wants to marry a woman who has a bad reputation and uses shady means to settle the marriage, will you do it? ? You say with conscience, if you think about it carefully, he is the son you and your seven siblings raised in the palm of your hand. You wish you could give the best things in the world to your child's father. Would you be willing?"

Prince Rong's words of willingness were instantly pushed back. He glanced at his princess subconsciously and saw her staring at him with a half-smile.

At this moment, King Rong suddenly overlapped the face of his princess with the old face of Jiang Shangshu.

Both of them have bad tempers.

If...if he really made such a decision, there would probably be a turmoil in the family.

Looking at King Rong's face that was changing all the time, Su Xinyi thought that there was still hope. Although King Rong was too protective about Yan Qiongsi's matter, now that he was also a married man, he naturally had more things to do. Very scrupulous.

"The seventh brother won't be willing to do it, right?" Su Xinyi's voice became softer, "Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang chose the marriage for their eldest son. I think the seventh brother also knows who it is. Xun Guijiang, who is full of people in the capital, Instead of looking for a family, you found someone who is no longer an official in the court, for what reason? Now that Second Young Master Jiang is being plotted like this, how could Mr. Jiang stop if he knew the truth?"

Speaking of this, Su Xinyi glanced at the Queen and said meaningfully: "Besides, this marriage... Queen Mother, it is most important to think carefully about what Princess Runyi thinks."

The queen was silent.

King Rong's brows tightened and he asked directly: "Do you suspect that Qiong Si is related to King Yi?"

Zhu Chanyi was shocked, just asked like that?

Su Xinyi glanced at King Rong and replied simply and neatly, "I'm not sure, I have to investigate this matter. The seventh brother has to investigate. If there is nothing about the case between King Yi and the granary, and the assassination of the caravan, there is nothing wrong with it." There is no connection between Princess Runyi and Prince Yi’s Mansion. But..."

At this point, Su Xinyi sighed, not looking at King Rong, but turned to look at the Queen, "Mother, the seventh brother took the initiative to expose the granary case. I have repeatedly asked my father to investigate thoroughly. If it is really related to King Yi, please tell me. What would King Yi think of his seventh brother?"

Of course I hate him!

The queen's expression finally stopped hesitating at this moment. It was about King Rong's safety, and even Yan Qiongsi had to stay back.

"Do you suspect that King Yi deliberately approached and used Qiongsi to take revenge on King Rong?" The queen looked at Su Xinyi and asked in a deep voice.

Su Xinyi shook her head, "It's hard to say now. His Highness is not in the capital, and his daughter-in-law is pregnant. Many things cannot be checked in person. Moreover, the people in the East Palace cannot move when His Highness is not here."

Of course, this is not entirely true. You can move, but in order to confuse people, it is true that no one can move on the surface. As for privately, you have to look at Zhang Jian, the manager.

However, Su Xinyi could not explain it to the queen as it related to the secrets of the East Palace.

As long as the prince is still the crown prince and has not ascended to that position, the queen's position will have certain variables. The queen cannot know all the background of the East Palace.

Besides, the Queen cannot interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she, a Crown Princess, can mobilize the Prince's troops. What will the Queen think?

Su Xinyi cannot take risks and can only be cautious and cautious.

Zhu Chanyi was in an extremely unstable mood at the moment. She didn't expect that there would be such a big connection behind it, so she subconsciously went to see the Crown Princess.

Su Xinyi's eyes turned to meet Zhu Chanyi's and he blinked calmly.

Zhu Chanyi's eyes lit up slightly. The two had been friends for so long, so there was a certain tacit understanding.

Before she married Prince Rong, her family told her in detail that the Zhu family supported royal orthodoxy, and that was the Prince of the East Palace. King Rong is now in the same boat with the prince, which is the best thing. After she married King Rong, she worked hard to maintain the consistent interests of her mother's family and her husband's family.

Isn't now her best chance?

Zhu Chanyi composed herself and then said: "Mother, the Crown Princess is right to be concerned, and the daughter-in-law also feels that the princess may have some hidden agenda in this matter. How about this, the daughter-in-law asks family members to investigate on her behalf. What do you think?"

The current situation is that Su Xinyi pretends not to come forward, which makes the queen even more embarrassed. Her natal family has become a common people, and the person being investigated is her sister's niece. Naturally, she cannot let the princess of Guangping County come forward, so she will face a situation where no one can be used. .

As for King Rong, King Yi must be watching him closely now, and King Rong cannot take action directly. On the contrary, everyone will think that Zhu Chanyi, a newly married bride, has not established a firm foothold in the palace. I wouldn't know or dare to care about such a thing.

Therefore, if Zhu Chanyi invited the Zhu family to investigate in private, the lights would be dark.

Zhu Chanyi was investigating the marriage between Yan Qiongsi and the Jiang family. Su Xinyi could use this matter to make King Yi fearful, and maybe there would be unexpected gains.

King Rong was overjoyed and said, "Yes, it would be better to let my father-in-law come forward. King Yi would not have thought of this."

The queen had no other choice at the moment. Although she said that this matter was not very honorable, she had no choice but to let the Zhu family investigate. So she looked at Zhu Chanyi and said: "It would be best if the Duke of Zheng is willing to help. You still have to work hard on this matter." ”

Zhu Chanyi smiled generously and said, "Mother, since I am married to the prince, I naturally think about him at all times. The prince's affairs are my business. Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law will take care of things."

The queen was very satisfied with Zhu Chanyi's attitude as her daughter-in-law, and her expression became a little more relaxed.

In the first half of my life, I was on par with Concubine Li, and after so many years of fighting they couldn't decide the winner, but the next generation will be different.

King Xiang married You Xiangzhe, but he was not as considerate and capable as his daughter-in-law.

The Queen looked at the Crown Princess, "What do you think?"

Su Xinyi met the queen's eyes and said with gratitude: "Of course that's the best. My daughter-in-law just feels a little guilty for letting the Duke Zheng's government do so much not long after the seventh brother and sister came together."

The queen smiled at Su Xinyi's statement, "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite. As a sister-in-law, you can still make her suffer."

"Of course not." Su Xinyi laughed heartily, "My mother and my seventh brother are so considerate of His Highness. I will definitely have a good talk with His Highness when he returns to Beijing."

The queen was satisfied. She had done so much. If the prince didn't know about it, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to show her charming eyes to a blind man?

King Rong was also satisfied. Not many people could make Su Xinyi grateful, but his wife did it.

Coming out of Yuan Hui Palace, Su Xinyi said to King Rong unceremoniously: "Seventh brother, I have some things to discuss with my seventh brother and sister. Why don't you go back first?"

King Rong:?

It's Su Xinyi who is talking about burning bridges across rivers, right?

King Rong left angrily.

Zhu Chanyi followed the Crown Princess to the East Palace and said with a smile as she walked, "The Crown Princess is still awesome."

Su Xinyi was also happy, "When we talk, there is no need to call me Crown Princess, which is too unfamiliar. In private, you still call me by my name, I think that is more cordial. Speaking of which, even though you are married to Prince Rong, you are still a foreigner. They married my younger siblings, but we were friends before we married their brothers."

Zhu Chanyi immediately agreed without any hesitation, "I've really had the most ladylike time in my life. I'm so suffocated."

The two of them chatted and laughed all the way into the East Palace, as if they were back to the time when they got along before getting married, and they were extremely comfortable.

Su Xinyi took Zhu Chanyi to the inner hall. The two sat on the large clinical couch, served refreshments, and chatted while eating.

Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Do you think Yan Qiongsi really doesn't know or is he pretending not to know?"

Su Xinyi sighed, "The Empress really loves her, she really treats her as her own daughter, and King Rong also treats her as his own sister. It's a pity, I think Yan Qiongsi will live up to the love of the Empress and Prince Rong." .”

Zhu Chanyi's expression was ugly, "Do you think she knew about it?"

Su Xinyi knew that if Zhu Chanyi or Duke Zheng's mansion could really find out something, he had to say what he should say, "There is something that I did not explain directly in front of the empress."

"What's going on?" Zhu Chanyi asked.

"I told my empress that Yan Qiongsi reminded me before, do you still remember?"

Zhu Chanyi nodded, "I remember, but does it have anything to do with the Jiang family's engagement?"

"Forsythia, bring a pen and paper." Su Xinyi shouted outside the hall.

Forsythia quickly handed over the pen and paper, then bowed and retreated.

Su Xinyi picked up the pen and wrote Yan Qiongsi's name on the paper, and then wrote King Yi in the other corner, "Look, on the surface, Yan Qiongsi and King Yi have nothing to do with each other, but they have one thing in common."

Zhu Chanyi said: "I know, Yuling'an."

Su Xinyi nodded and wrote Yuling'an between the two, "There are two other people related to Yuling'an."

"Xu Yurong and Aunt Fu?" Zhu Chanyi remembered saying this to Su Xinyi in Yuanhui Palace.

Su Xinyi nodded and added the two names. She explained to Zhu Chanyi, "When it came to the hunting ground, people from the Ministry of Justice asked Fuyun why he went to Yuling Nunnery. Fuyun said that someone from her hometown became a monk and became a sister-in-law at Yuling Nunnery. , called Master Minghui, so when she misses her hometown, she goes to Yuling Temple to talk to Master Minghui."

Zhu Chanyi didn't know this, so she said, "It sounds reasonable."

Su Xinyi didn't want to say too much about Fuyun now, as it involved Prince Xiang, and there was a lot of friction between Concubine Li and the Queen because of Prince Xiang's upcoming marriage. She was also worried that saying too much would upset Zhu Chan. Yi has a bad understanding of what is wrong.

Moreover, the focus now is not on Fuyun, but on Yan Qiongsi.

"One thing is that Yan Qiongsi got the medicine from Xu Yurong at the hunting ground, which led to King Xiang's gaffe, which in turn led to the marriage between King Xiang and You Xiangzhe. The person who provided the medicine to Xu Yurong was the shopkeeper of Yubaozhai , the shopkeeper’s name is Chen Sheng, who was born in Suizhou.”

Zhu Chanyi's expression suddenly became serious, "Sure enough, it has something to do with King Yi."

"It's not possible to make a complete conclusion based on this alone. After all, there was Xu Yurong in the middle. His Highness sent people to Suizhou to investigate Chen Sheng, but before they could find out the details, Chen Sheng died suddenly after returning to Suizhou for half a month."

"Isn't the clue broken?"

"They are still investigating over there. Chen Sheng is dead, but he still has family members, so there can always be some clues." Su Xinyi said slowly, "It's just that the process will be slower. Your Highness is not in the capital now. What's going on in Suizhou?" The news is not known yet. However, it can be seen from this that Suizhou is not peaceful and King Yi is unusual. What I am more worried about now is that if King Yi really takes advantage of Yan Qiongsi, who do you think he is targeting in the end? ?”

Who is the closest person to Yan Jones?

Queen mother and son!

Zhu Chanyi felt a little unable to sit still, and her face was darker than the bottom of the pot.

"It's fine if Yan Qiongsi doesn't know the truth, but if he still does it after knowing it..." Zhu Chanyi also had a murderous look in his eyes, which means he is not only ungrateful, but also has no conscience.

Su Xinyi sighed, "Now you understand why I can't speak so clearly in front of the Empress and Prince Rong, because to Yan Qiongsi, the Empress and Prince Rong treat each other sincerely, so before you have real evidence, you Don’t lie either.”

Zhu Chanyi knew that Su Xinyi was trying to encourage her. When her new daughter-in-law came in, she wanted to sow discord between her aunts, nephews, and cousins. Isn't this asking for her own death?

"I didn't expect that marrying into the royal family would be so complicated." Zhu Chanyi said with a slumped face.

She finally understood why Xin Yi did things so thoughtfully and meticulously. It was all because of force.

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Actually, the Queen is pretty good as a mother-in-law, and Prince Rong is also qualified as a husband. As long as you don't make any mistakes, your life will be easy in the future."

Zhu Chanyi smiled, and the princess also said that it would be fine if nothing went wrong. With her temperament, she couldn't be suppressed to death.

"Then what should I tell my family?" Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and asked, with so many things going on, where to start?

Su Xinyi said after careful consideration: "You tell Duke Zheng everything, and let him make the rest of the decision on how to let the family take action. Just leave it alone."

Even if Zhu Chanyi is married to Prince Rong, she is still a junior in the family. The Duke of Zheng's Palace is different from the Duke of Qi's Palace.

The old man of the Duke of Qi's mansion has long handed over his power, and now he is raising flowers and playing with birds to enjoy his old age.

Duke Zheng is different. He still bears the title of Duke. He even led troops on expeditions a few years ago. He is also younger than the old man of the Duke of Qi. Therefore, it is Duke Zheng who is the director of the Duke of Zheng and holds the most power.

Su Xinyi knew Duke Zheng Guo. When he led the troops on the expedition, he not only led the troops well, but also had experience in serving as an official.

Today’s update is for you, my little cuties.
