Once the Crown Prince Joins In

"Is there any progress on Xu Yurong's side?" Su Xinyi asked, looking at Zhan Qiao.

"There's no news from Third Master yet."

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "If you have any news, please get back to me. You can go and do your work."

"Yes, I'm resigning." Zhan Qiao bowed and left.

Su Xinyi walked slowly in the palace, but her mind was racing rapidly. There was no further letter from His Highness, and no letter was sent back to the capital from King Rong. She guessed that the matter at the granary was being finalized, so she had no time to send the letter back to the capital.

King Yi is making such big moves now. He must have known the news from Suizhou, so he can't sit still, right?

Only this explanation can explain the frequent actions on the part of King Tongyi.

Therefore, she should do something, even if she is thousands of miles away from His Highness, she can still communicate with him from a distance and suppress this big pest of King Yi.

What is the most appropriate thing to do?

She is a princess, not a court official. There are many things that ordinary officials and wives can do, but she cannot act rashly.

However, His Majesty previously promised her to return to her parents' home at will...

She was a little doubtful now, whether His Majesty could have predicted today's situation, or guessed King Yi's position in this matter. If she, the Crown Princess of the East Palace, could freely visit her mother's house, wouldn't it create opportunities for King Yi? Take action?

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi felt very strange.

Are you using her as bait?

It seems that she can't guess like this. After all, she still has His Highness's child in her belly. So what does His Majesty mean?

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out for the moment, and didn't want to make His Majesty's guess too sinister, so he thought that on the day of his second brother's wedding, he should go back to the house, just to test King Yi's reaction, and maybe he would be able to guess something by then. Your Majesty's intention.

Thinking of this, her heart brightened. She was just pregnant, and her limbs were not disabled. With her skills, she couldn't fight as violently as before, but ordinary hand training was still no problem.

However, to be on the safe side, she still had to ask Zhu Chanyi to accompany her. She would not give the enemy a chance to rely on force to enlarge things.

With a thorough plan, Su Xinyi wrote to Zhu Chanyi and invited her to return to the Duke's Mansion with her to attend Su Qi's wedding banquet.

Zhu Chanyi did not write a reply, but came directly.

When Su Xinyi saw her, she smiled and invited people in, saying, "Why do I bother you to go there in person?"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do. It's good to come and visit me. I'm really suffocated at home alone." Zhu Chanyi took the tea sent by Delphinium and said again: "It's such a happy event like the marriage of Second Young Master Su. I have to go even if my sister-in-law doesn’t tell me, so it’s better to go with you. I think my sixth brother and sister will also go, and it will be more lively when we sit at the same table."

Zhu Chanyi did not mention Princess Wu. That one had different ideas. This kind of thing was originally a matter of mutual consent. If you want to go, you can go, and if you don't want to go, you can't go.

Logically speaking, they are both royal sisters-in-law and should go there, but it's hard to tell about Ji Yun. If she comes to invite her, she might get a kick out of it.

Su Xinyi felt that Zhu Chanyi was right. Princess Jing was related by marriage to their family, so she would definitely go.

Zhu Chanyi didn't mention Princess Wu, and Su Xinyi didn't mention it either. They both knew it well.

"Xin Yi, why did you invite me to accompany you?" Zhu Chanyi asked with concern.

Su Xinyi nodded, "It's just a guess. Maybe I guessed wrong. If you stay with me, I can feel at ease with your skills."

Zhu Chanyi immediately patted her chest and said, "Then we must have fought before. Although I'm not as powerful as you, I can still handle it with just a few people."

Su Xinyi said this, and Zhu Chanyi had an idea in her mind, but Xinyi didn't elaborate, and it was obvious that she wasn't very sure about the matter, so she didn't ask in detail.

Zhu Chanyi is an interesting person. He immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "Early this morning, I heard about the divorce between the Jiang family and the Guangping County Prince's Palace. I didn't expect it to happen so soon, nor did I expect it to happen. It’s strange to be so cooperative.”

"It's nothing strange." Su Xinyi smiled, "As soon as Mr. Jiang complained to my father, my father asked me to keep an eye on this matter."

Zhu Chanyi was surprised, "Looking for you?"

Su Xinyi was happy when she saw Zhu Chanyi's surprised expression, "No?"

Zhu Chanyi clicked her tongue, "It's either impossible or I didn't expect it. Then the Queen Mother doesn't mean to blame you, right? After all, Princess Runyi has always been protected by the Queen Mother."

Su Xinyi said: "The person who tied the bell must untie it. No matter how much my mother feels sorry for Yan Qiongsi, she is most concerned about the future of the seventh brother."

Zhu Chanyi cupped her hands and said, "I admire you."

The person with feelings threatens the queen with King Rong... No, no, persuading the queen, most people dare to think so, but they don't dare to do it easily.

For example, she always takes more into consideration.

In other words, Su Xinyi's do-it-yourself temperament really suits her, and she does things that she dares to think about but doesn't dare to do.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chanyi smiled so maliciously, "Then the princess of Guangping County and her daughter must be angry to death, I'm afraid they will have resentment towards the queen mother."

Su Xinyi smiled lightly and said, "It's good to have resentment, don't you think so?"

"Yes!" Zhu Chanyi nodded vigorously, "I don't want to run into them in the palace every once in a while. You said that I am also Princess Rong after all. When the mother and daughter saw me, the look in their eyes really surprised me. I feel uncomfortable. Why, my background is not worthy of Prince Rong? Our family is also an honorable family. To put it bluntly, their Guangping County Prince’s Palace is nothing!"

Su Xinyi:......

"Were you bullied by them?"

Otherwise, this person can be so angry that he curses?

Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and said, "If Yan Qiongsi always looks at you like you're trash, won't you be angry?"

Su Xinyi fell silent. Not only was she angry, she also wanted to hit someone.

"Princess Runyi has the queen's favor, but she has forgotten the foundation of her family. In the final analysis, other people's favor is still others, and you can give it or take it."

"I have been favored for a long time, so I thought it was true." The Zhu Chanyi family has a family of military generals. The inheritance from generation to generation is based on ability. When fighting on the battlefield, you cannot rely on your words. Under swords and guns, a mouth can't save you. life.

"With Father's intervention in this matter, the good luck of Guangping County Prince's Palace will come to an end."

"Speaking of which, when the Shu family was demoted to commoners, why do you think the princess of Guangping County and her daughter didn't have long memories?"

"Maybe they feel that someone will take care of everything for them."

"It's going to be really lively this time. Do you think the Queen Mother won't be soft-hearted?"

"If your heart softens, you can carry Prince Rong out. After all, the seventh brother is still investigating the case with his life and death hanging over there. The seventh brother has fought for his future with his life, why don't others know how to cherish it and squander it wantonly?"

Zhu Chanyi's eyes lit up. Of course, the matter was not as terrible as Su Xinyi said, but it was useful to tell the queen so.

The Queen will not feel that she has to work hard to protect the princess and her daughter of Guangping County, and is willing to do her best for them, but it is difficult to say that it will cost the safety and future of King Rong.

"Hey, you still have a way, so I'll do it." Zhu Chanyi was overjoyed. The princess of Guangping County and her daughter are not human beings, so she can still be a Bodhisattva. "By the way, Master Minghui, are you just going to keep them locked up? My grandfather asked you what your plans are, but they can't pry you open, they're very tough, and they can't really use severe torture to kill people, right now. It can only be closed."

Su Xinyi heard the words and said: "This Master Minghui is really tough. She is only willing to talk about some insignificant things and not say a word about other important things. King Yi's biological mother really made a close friend back then."

"No, my grandfather also said that good friends are the hardest to find." Zhu Chanyi sighed, "It can be seen that the biological mother of King Yi back then must have been a very special person."

"Then lock him up first, and don't let others seek short-term consequences. King Yi has been making frequent moves recently, which may be related to the disappearance of Master Minghui. Moreover, the case in the granary over there is also pressing harder on him. Now my father wants him to He is staying in Beijing to celebrate the New Year and is worried because he cannot return to Suizhou to take charge."

When Su Xinyi said this, he looked up at Zhu Chanyi and was suddenly startled, and then said: "The Yan Ling family has settled in Beijing, and Master Minghui has been unwilling to explain important matters. What do you think if we let them meet? "

"Meet?" Zhu Chanyi's mind became more active after hearing this, "Master Minghui has been at Yuling Nunnery for many years. I'm afraid she doesn't know Yan Ling, right?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "It's hard to say. You can ask Yan Ling first, when did Master Minghui come to the capital?"

Zhu Chanyi really didn't know, "Then let's ask first. If Yan Ling really knows Master Minghui, there might be some unexpected gains from this matter."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Let's give it a try first, what if it works? Moreover, I heard from Zhang Jian that Yan Ling was in a bad mood after coming to Beijing, and he was even more disdainful when he mentioned King Yi, but he may have suffered a lot in life. He was hit hard and rarely mentioned the original incident. If His Highness were here, he might be able to ask."

Zhu Chanyi stood up, "How about I go for a walk right away?"

Su Xinyi said: "You send a message to the old Duke, and I will ask Zhang Jian to cooperate with the meeting. Do it privately and quietly. I see that it is the right day for my second brother to get married, and others will only watch whether we go or not." When you go to the Duke's Mansion, you will ignore other people."

"Okay." Zhu Chanyi agreed, "Yan Ling has difficulty traveling and it is impossible for him to leave the city. Then we can only let Master Minghui come to see him. We must make good arrangements so that no one can find out."

The two discussed it carefully, and after they almost settled on it, Zhu Chanyi brought up the previous topic again, "After the divorce, I looked at which high-ranking family could be chosen for Yan Qiongsi's marriage, and my eyes widened. No matter how good it is, I don’t know which family is unlucky enough to have such a daughter-in-law."

Su Xinyi almost spit out her tea when she took a sip. She looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "You are really angry."

With Zhu Chanyi's temperament, this was really the first time she had spoken so fiercely and without mercy.

"Aren't I afraid that I will be unlucky?"

"What do you mean?" Su Xinyi didn't understand for a moment.

Zhu Chanyi talked about her nails and said casually, "The two of you are very confident because, if you really can't find a good wife, you want to enter Prince Rong's Mansion."

Su Xinyi:......

"Who did you listen to? Don't say such nonsense. Yan Qiongsi is the queen's niece. He has favored her for so many years. How could he let King Rong accept her as his concubine?"

"Isn't there a place for the concubine?"

Su Xinyi shook her head, "Isn't this impossible? The Queen has personally chosen you to be her daughter-in-law, and she also knows your temperament very well. You and Yan Qiongsi will be the main concubine and the side concubine. I'm afraid you are not looking forward to being compared with Prince Rong's wife. Is the palace more lively? The Queen has always been calm and wise, so she would not make such a decision."

"But what if the princess of Guangping County begs for help?"

Su Xinyi still found it a bit ridiculous, "I think it's still impossible. Yan Qiongsi has always been arrogant and is willing to be a concubine?"

This is unlikely.

Yan Qiongsi never married in her previous life, preferring to spend her time waiting to become a stepmother rather than entering the Pingjing County Prince's Palace as a concubine. How could she be a concubine for Prince Rong in this life?

"I heard it with my own ears. How can this be wrong?"

"Hear it with your own ears?"

Where can I hear such words?

Su Xinyi was shocked and looked up at Zhu Chanyi.

Zhu Chanyi smiled and said, "You have thought of it too, right? Yes, it was in Yuanhui Palace. It was a coincidence last time that the mother and daughter entered the palace to pay greetings to the queen. I happened to bump into them and listened through the window. I mentioned it to my mother-in-law in the side hall, although I didn’t say it openly and clearly, but that’s what I meant.”

Having said this, Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Do you think the Queen would know if she said such words in the side hall of Yuanhui Palace?"

When Su Xinyi heard that Zhu Chan stopped calling her Queen, and called her Queen directly, she was afraid that she was a little disappointed with the Queen.

Su Xinyi frowned and thought for a moment. In her previous life, the queen had always been relaxed and relaxed in doing things. Even if she was embarrassed, she would not let anyone get too much of a handle. She was encountered by His Highness the Crown Prince several times, but he could not get the slightest handle. .

Would such a queen leave hidden dangers in her son's house?

"I still think it's unlikely. Maybe the mother and daughter let you hear this matter deliberately, so that you can feel anxious and make mistakes, and take advantage of you. As for whether the Queen knows about it, I don't think it's important. , you think that since the Queen has not mentioned this matter in front of you at all, it means that the Queen is either unaware of the matter or will not agree to it. In this case, why bother to mention it in front of you."

"Really?" Zhu Chanyi was confused. Although she was married to Prince Rong, the couple didn't get along for long before Prince Rong went south.

She actually didn't know much about the queen's mother-in-law, but Xin Yi married in early, so she should be somewhat confident in saying this.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Su Xinyi and said: "Anyone can come in and be a concubine, except Yan Qiongsi. If such a troublemaker enters the house, I am afraid that my life will be taken care of someday."

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, this was really possible.

In her previous life, wasn't it because Yan Qiongsi put pressure on her and the princess and her daughter of Pingjing County took action to force her to death?

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi became more and more disgusted with Yan Qiongsi, her eyes darkened, and she spoke thoughtfully, "If you don't have any worries at all, there is nothing you can do. It's just a risk. I wonder if you dare to do it?"
