Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Following Hu Siyi to the Zichen Hall, Hu Siyi asked the Crown Princess to wait, and then entered the main hall to report.

Su Xinyi was waiting outside the palace gate. At this time, everything was quiet outside the Zichen Palace. Guards stood guard on both sides. In the distance, adults from the Six Departments could be seen walking around.

Soon, Hu Siyi walked out of the palace, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Crown Princess, Your Majesty invites you in."

Su Xinyi nodded with a smile and walked into the hall.

The palace was as quiet as last time. The palace attendants stood with their hands down, and the smell of ambergris spread in the palace.

"My daughter-in-law pays homage to my father." Su Xinyi stepped forward and saluted, looking at the ground, not daring to go beyond the rules.

"Get up."

The emperor's voice came from above. Su Xinyi's voice was not as strong as before, and it sounded a little tired. At this time, she suddenly felt a thump in her heart. Yes, His Majesty must be in some bad health at this time.

Su Xinyi stood up and stood respectfully aside. She didn't know why His Majesty summoned her. She was unsure and she didn't dare to speak easily at this time.

On the throne, the emperor raised his head, looked at Su Xinyi's respectful and restrained look, smiled and said, "Has the prince sent you a letter?"

Su Xinyi was stunned. His Majesty asked her what she meant by this.

Do you want to know what's wrong?

In other words, His Majesty actually knew that His Majesty sent her a letter. She knew that His Majesty was not easy to fool, and the father-son relationship between His Majesty and His Royal Highness was closer in this life than in the previous life, so she immediately decided to tell the truth.

King Yi is still in the capital, so she can't say anything here to mislead His Majesty.

"Go back to Father, Your Highness has sent a letter to your daughter-in-law." Su Xinyi replied.

The emperor nodded slightly, "Do you know everything about the south?"

Su Xinyi:......

How to answer this?

Know or don’t know?

As soon as she hesitated, she heard His Majesty's laughter, "I understand."

Su Xinyi wanted to cover her face. Yes, when she hesitated, didn't she just tell His Majesty that she knew?

It was rare to see Su Xinyi in such embarrassment. The emperor was obviously in a good mood and said with a smile: "I am very happy that you and the prince and your wife are in harmony."

Su Xinyi's face turned red, and she coughed lightly before saying, "Thanks to my father for granting me a marriage to my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law can have the good life she has today."

The emperor glanced at Su Xinyi, and then spoke slowly and leisurely, "Prince Rong always said that you have a bad temper and are prone to beating and killing. I think it's okay now."

What does it mean to be okay?

Su Xinyi felt that this word was not a good word. It seemed to praise her, but she felt that it was more of a detriment to her.

So, she fell silent, not knowing how to respond.

The emperor didn't seem to expect Su Xinyi to reply, and continued: "I'm afraid the granary case will not be closed before the year, and will have to be postponed until the end of the year. The Crown Prince and King Rong cannot return to Beijing before the year, and I have something you need to do here. Do."

Su Xinyi himself had already guessed that His Highness the Crown Prince would not be able to come back years ago. With the discovery of Jing Lue and Mu Xing, there should be great progress in the granary matter. Under such circumstances, His Highness would definitely win the case in one go.

However, she didn't know what His Majesty would give her to do, so she raised her head with doubts on her face and said, "Father, if you have something to do, just tell me, and my daughter-in-law will do her best."

"I know that you are also King Chayi."

Su Xinyi's heart trembled. She knew that she could hide it from others but not from His Majesty. She immediately said: "Father is wise, and my daughter-in-law is indeed investigating this matter, because my daughter-in-law discovered that many things in the Duke of Qi's palace seemed to be related to Prince Yi, and she was shocked. Then I made a secret investigation and asked my father to forgive me."

The emperor was slightly stunned. He thought that King Su Xinyi Chayi was involved in the granary case, but he never expected that it would be related to the Duke of Qi.

Immediately, the emperor came back to his senses and said calmly, "Tell me how the affairs of the Duke of Qi's palace are related to King Yi. This is a bit surprising."

The emperor's tone was too calm, and Su Xinyi couldn't figure out whether his majesty knew it or not.

However, she almost didn't hesitate and said immediately: "Father, my daughter-in-law really has no choice. Someone reached into the Duke of Qi's mansion and actually wanted to encourage my fifth sister to take her aunt out of the Duke's mansion..."

Su Xinyi's mind was spinning very fast. Since he mentioned the Duke of Qi's palace, he naturally had to start with household affairs. Going further, whether it was the Su Yi incident or the Shi family incident, there was not enough evidence to prove that it was related to King Yi.

At first, Su Xinyi was just suspicious of the Shi family's affairs. Now that her family and Shi Zhongqian had fallen out, she would never get the information she wanted from him, so she couldn't mention it.

The matter between Aunt Weng and her daughter was just right.

Su Xinyi knew the whole thing very well. The topic started from the last time she went back to her parents' home and heard that Su Xixian wanted to take Aunt Weng to her village. From here on, it made sense.

In fact, when Su Xixian wanted to pick up Aunt Weng, Su Xinyi didn't have too much suspicion. She only thought that Su Xixian had a filial piety. It was only when she heard her family mention something happened to Aunt Weng that she remembered it.

Of course, these words also involve other things. Su Xinyi can't explain them all clearly, so he can only say everything he can.

After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly and looked up at Su Xinyi, "So you doubt King Yi? Where is the evidence? What you said is not directly related to King Yi."

Su Xinyi sighed softly and showed a helpless smile, "What my father said is that my daughter-in-law did not expect to be related to Prince Yi at first, but when she found out about this matter, she accidentally discovered another matter... …”

When Su Xinyi said this, he hesitated, and his face changed, looking hesitant and embarrassed.

Just as the emperor was about to speak, he saw Su Xinyi's expression change, and then he heard her say: "Although my grandfather told me not to talk nonsense outside, my father is not someone else, and my daughter-in-law is upset because of this matter. It just so happens that my father. When the emperor asked, the daughter-in-law simply asked her father for advice."

emperor:……

Hu Siyi:...

Hu Siyi hurriedly lowered his head. What the Crown Princess said was more than bold. No royal daughter-in-law dared to ask for your Majesty's advice so boldly. It was the princes who, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Rong, which one of them was under Your Majesty's command? Speaking so bluntly in front of me?

The emperor felt a little itchy at all. Su Xinyi's arrogant look was really the same as that of her father back then.

Although Su Xinyi did not grow up with Su Chun, and even Su Chun did not know that she had a daughter, the nature of blood relationship is so wonderful.

The emperor forced a smile and said, "You tell me and I will give you the details."

Su Xinyi looked frank, fearless and ignorant on her face, but she was very nervous in her heart. After hearing His Majesty's words, she felt happy, but she didn't dare to show any clues on her face. She only showed an appropriately surprised smile. He said: "Thank you, Father. If you give me some advice, I will tell you the truth."

"You tell me, I'll listen." The emperor coughed lightly. Unexpectedly, Su Chun could hear the gossip of the Duke of Qi's mansion after being away for so many years.

It's just...a weird feeling.

Su Xinyi felt that something was wrong with the emperor's expression, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. There was no time for her to figure it out at the moment. All she could think about was how to drag King Yi down in a reasonable way from the matter of Aunt Weng and Su Xixian. .

Her mind was spinning very fast. Although this matter was a bit surprising, she had to say that this was also a good opportunity to go to Datian to hear. Before, matters in the Duke's Mansion had been carried out in secret. If it could be passed in front of His Majesty, If you have a clear path, things will be a little easier in the future.

Su Xinyi narrated how the family discovered that something was not right with the people around Aunt Weng. Later, Chun Cao persuaded Su Xixian to take Aunt Weng out. Finally, she mentioned that someone from the Weng family joined forces to plot against the Duke of Qi. Of course, the Weng family Su Xinyi has not yet received accurate information from Third Master as to who Bian is joining forces with, but according to her estimation, it must be closely related to King Yi.

"...This is basically what happened. My daughter-in-law, San Bo, once found out that Chuncao, the girl next to my sister, had met in private with the shopkeeper of Wantong Tea House. Wantong Tea House came from the same origin as the original Yubaozhai. My daughter-in-law was really worried, so she secretly investigated the matter."

After Su Xinyi finished speaking, she looked at His Majesty calmly. All her words were true, except for one thing: the relationship between Wantong Tea House and Yubaozhai was not yet certain.

But these two things are related to King Yi. Although she has no evidence, she is sure that King Yi is definitely related. As long as Wantong Tea House and Yubaozhai are connected, His Majesty will naturally know the importance.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had carefully discussed the matter of Yubaozhai with His Majesty.

After hearing this, the emperor glanced at Hu Siyi and said, "The name Yubaozhai sounds familiar."

Hu Siyi immediately bent down and replied: "Your Majesty, what happened at the hunting ground was the medicine provided by Yubaozhai."

The emperor remembered it instantly, his face darkened, and he looked back at Su Xinyi, "Are you sure that these two shops are related?"

Of course Su Xinyi was not sure, but looking at His Majesty's expression, she couldn't just say that at this moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Father, my daughter-in-law is sure."

"Then what are your plans?"

Listening to the emperor's questions, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Su Xinyi's palms, and she said slowly: "Back to my father, my daughter-in-law is pregnant now. I really can't help with this matter. I can only wait for my family to deal with it." News. As for how to check at home, I’m not sure yet.”

The emperor was not surprised when he heard this. Although Su Wei was not as talented as Su Chuntian, he had done a good job in the Imperial Guard Army for so many years. It was a pity that he had already been appointed as a commander and had no great achievements. At present, a commander had reached the top.

"Why did King Yi target the Duke of Qi?"

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out now, why King Yi targeted the Su family in her previous life, but she still hasn't figured it out in this life. When she heard His Majesty ask this, she was also full of doubts, "My daughter-in-law really doesn't know, and the family doesn't understand either. Our Su family has no grudges or contacts with King Yi, and we really don’t understand why King Yi is plotting against us like this.”

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi with a confused face. It really didn't look like he was pretending. Su Xinyi didn't understand, but he, the emperor, understood something.

Huaining is adjacent to Suizhou. The Su family sits in Huaining. Although they have no official position, the Su family has a deep foundation and is quite prestigious in Huaining. If King Yi is in Suizhou, if he really has evil intentions, how can he allow others to snore next to his bed? , Huaining Su family is naturally a thorn in King Yi's side.

The emperor felt dizzy before his eyes and his heart trembled. He forced himself to steady himself, then looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Does anyone else know about this?"

"Father, only my daughter-in-law and family members know about this matter, and it has never been spread outside." Su Xinyi replied.

The emperor nodded slightly, "I will summon Su Wei for questioning."

"Thank you, Father." Su Xinyi's guess was correct. His Majesty would indeed ask. In this case, although there are advantages and disadvantages, overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "Father, you said before that you had something to tell your daughter-in-law. I wonder what it was?"

"The marriage between the Prince of Guangping County and the Jiang family cannot happen. I know that you also know about it."

Su Xinyi:......

It seems that Jiang Shangshu complained directly to His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty would not have time to pay attention to the marriage of the second son of the minister's family.

Su Xinyi showed a scornful expression and said with a slight guilt, "Father, did Jiang Shangshu file a complaint with you? Although my daughter-in-law knows a little about this matter, she really didn't get involved in it."

It was true that she just gave some pointers but didn't take any action.

The emperor looked disbelieving, glanced at Su Xinyi, and said slowly, "Then I will give you a chance to get involved, and you can handle this matter. Jiang Aiqing is really pitiful. Her son's legs were broken because of her refusal to marry. "

Su Xinyi hesitated, looked at His Majesty and said quietly: "Father, if this marriage is really called off, how do you want your daughter-in-law to explain to your mother?"

Doesn't this make her angry?

"I see you getting along well with the queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I'm afraid this won't be difficult for you." The emperor looked at Su Xinyi's dark face and felt relieved.

What else could Su Xinyi say, so she had to hold her nose and admit it.

"My daughter-in-law obeys the order and will definitely handle this matter well." Su Xinyi said with a smile on her face, but in her heart she was thinking that she had done a lot of good favor with the queen these days and laid the groundwork for the sake of the two families. I told the Queen a lot about the pros and cons of the marriage, and I thought that now that it was taken over openly, the Queen wouldn't kick her out all at once.

Your Majesty is really cunning. He sympathizes with his minister's plight, but lets her go out and take the blame.

He is really the prince's biological father.

What can she do.

Fortunately, she is smart and always likes to leave a way out for herself when doing things.

Look, isn’t it useful now?

Su Xinyi just couldn't figure it out. It was better for the Queen to come forward to do this kind of thing. Why would His Majesty let her do it?

Even if she knew more about this matter, or she had done something, she was only the Crown Princess, and there was a Queen in the harem.

Is it because Yan Qiongsi dissatisfied His Majesty?

After thinking about it, there was only this point. If this was the case, Su Xinyi's heart trembled. His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Queen, and Concubine Li would be in trouble. This was not a situation she wanted to see.

You have to think of a way to do it.
