Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Not only was the queen very tempted by Su Xinyi's suggestion, but Zhu Chanyi was also a little excited. Yes, they could also cause trouble for the Li family. Why hadn't they thought of it before?

The more Zhu Chanyi thought about it, the more it made sense. She looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "If the queen mother wants to take care of Li Qingyi's matter, it wouldn't be too obvious if it was too obvious, right?"

The teacher is famous.

"What the seventh brother and sister said makes sense. Indeed, it is really not appropriate to ask questions rashly." Su Xinyi nodded slightly and turned to look at the Queen, "Mother, what if Mrs. Li Er comes to you to plead grievances for her daughter?"

The Queen Mother heard this and looked at Xin Yi, "Mrs. Li Er may not dare to do this. Grand Master Li is still alive."

"My daughter-in-law can give it a try. If Mrs. Li Er is willing to redress her daughter's grievance, as long as you can take care of it, the matter will be a matter of course." Su Xinyi said.

Zhu Chanyi said hesitantly: "If Mrs. Li Er really does this, Master Li Er will not be able to pass the test easily."

"That's what Mrs. Li Er wants to do. As long as she is willing to pave a way for her daughter, we will give her this opportunity."

Other matters related to the internal affairs of the Li family are naturally handled by Mrs. Li herself.

"What you said makes sense. Naturally, I cannot sit idly by when something like this happens. As long as Mrs. Li Er comes to complain about her grievances, I will naturally support her." The queen breathed a long sigh of relief. She couldn't bear to see Concubine Li being angry this time. Make a crooked face.

As long as she thought about it, the queen felt that even if there were some risks in this matter, she would be willing to do it.

The Queen was in such a good mood that during the luncheon, Concubine Li frequently frowned and looked over. Unfortunately, the Queen did not even look at her and only spoke to Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming.

Concubine Li was so angry that her face turned black, but she didn't want to get angry. She could only hold her breath, and she couldn't help but guess that something good had happened to the queen.

During the luncheon, His Majesty and several princes were in the Zichen Palace, and the Queen and her female family members were in the harem. Zhu Chanyi sat down next to Su Xinyi. The two of them were very supportive of the Queen during the dinner, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Tu Jingjia has always been a calm person. She sat next to Concubine Qi Xian and behaved obediently. From time to time, she would pick up one or two words thrown by the princess. Concubine Qi Xian was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

Especially looking at the very loud voice of Concubine Li Guifei and Concubine Ruan Ming's mother-in-law, the atmosphere was stiff. In comparison, she felt that her daughter-in-law was not as good as the Crown Princess and Princess Rong, but she was still pretty good.

Ji Yun didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food during the whole meal, and she didn't even say a word of praise. She had a dull face, as if someone owed her hundreds of dollars. Concubine Ruan Ming used to hide a few things in front of everyone, so she left some for this daughter-in-law. Face, I really didn't save any face today. I didn't say a word to Ji Yun during the entire banquet. The cold atmosphere between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't be suppressed even by strong liquor.

After the luncheon, the Queen dismissed everyone and looked at Su Xinyi's kind words, "You are pregnant, so don't travel back and forth in the past few days. Just keep raising the baby in the East Palace."

There were many banquets in the palace during the year, so the queen was showing Su Xinyi a small favor to show her consideration. Su Xinyi immediately stood up to thank the queen. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so close to each other that she was so angry that she couldn't stay any longer, so she left with You Xiangzhu. leave.

The queen didn't care what happened to Concubine Li, and sent everyone away, leaving only Concubine Ruan Ming to talk.

Concubine Ruan Ming's heart was pounding. When there was no one in the palace, she looked at the queen and then said: "My queen, I am my concubine..."

The queen waved her hand, and Ruan Mingfei swallowed back the rest of her words. She didn't know what to say for a while.

The queen looked at Concubine Ruan Ming's obviously thinner figure and sighed softly, "Concubine Ming, you have always made me worry-free for so many years in the palace. I know that this time I have made it difficult for you."

Ruan Mingfei's eyes turned red, "Mother, thank you very much for your understanding. You know I really can't help it. It's not that I don't understand Ji Yun, my daughter-in-law, nor that I hate her, but the things she did... I really can't help it." I'm afraid. Madam, what do you think I should do about this matter?"

"Ming Fei, I want to tell you the truth. You also know that Jones is also involved in King Yi's affairs. Even I can't protect her now. If she really violates the national law, I can only It is up to the court to deal with it fairly. As for Ji Gang, I am afraid that Ji Gang’s current affairs will come to an end in a few days. It will also depend on whether Princess Wu is involved. If she is really involved, I hope you can figure it out. When the time comes, it will be the same as mine."

The look on Concubine Ruan Ming's face was startled. She was about to ask clearly, but she saw the Queen waving her hand to her slightly tiredly.

Concubine Ruan Ming had no choice but to stand up and leave, leaving Yuanhui Palace. Her mind was filled with what the Queen had just said. So what would the Queen choose? It sounds like this means siding with the court's laws, so what is the Queen implying?

Concubine Ruan Ming's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps. When she returned to Chunze Palace, she immediately sent people to the front hall to watch. When King Wu came out, he invited people over.

The banquet at Zichen Hall was later. Concubine Ruan Ming waited for half an hour before her son arrived. Seeing that her son's expression was quite peaceful, she felt slightly relieved. Smelling the smell of alcohol all over her body, she hurriedly asked someone to bring over the prepared sobering tea. .

King Wu drank the sobering tea, looked at his mother and concubine and said, "You asked your son to come over. Do you have any instructions?"

Ruan Mingfei said distressedly: "There is something wrong, but why do you drink so much wine? Take care of your body."

"Don't worry, mother, I didn't drink much. My son is very clear." King Wu smiled.

Looking at her son's smiling face that was uglier than crying, Concubine Ruan Ming felt heartbroken. She sighed slightly and then said, "What else can my concubine do to you? Since Mrs. Zhou is pregnant, you need more Just take care of her, she's carrying your child too."

King Wu was silent, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother and concubine, my son knows what's going on."

"Concubine Mother knows that you are different from Ji Yun, but do you think Ji Yun looks like he wants to live a good life with you? Which of the royal princesses is as perfunctory as she is? Today I am in Yuanhui Palace When she went to the banquet, she kept a straight face throughout the banquet. None of the other princesses spoke, which shows that she didn't even think about sharing the burden for you. Princess Xiang's reputation has become like that. Today, although her family is not favored by Li When the imperial concubine saw her, she even took the initiative to talk to the crown princess and the others. Son, it’s a good thing that the empress is so generous, otherwise wouldn’t she be blamed?”

King Wu's face was grave. He knew what his mother and concubine meant, so he pursed his lips and said, "Let her be."

"How can you let her go? You haven't thought about it. If the Ji family is really involved with King Yi, do you think your wife can get away?" Concubine Ruan Ming was a little anxious, "You can't just have this daughter-in-law, you also have to take her place. Mother and concubine, think about it. If you focus on protecting her, if you anger your father, how will you let me deal with myself in the palace? "

When King Wu heard this, he wiped his face vigorously and said, "Concubine, have you heard anything?"

"If Ji Yun is really a good person, my concubine will definitely help you protect her, but you know better than me how she treats you, and whether there is anything going on between her and Prince Yi's Mansion. I think you are not a fool, and my concubine will not ask for anything. Otherwise, I just ask her not to get you involved. It’s not easy for a mother-in-law to raise you like this in the palace. As a mother, she naturally hopes that her son will be safe and sound. "

After hearing this, King Wu knew that Ji Gang would definitely not be able to fish him out, and Ji Yun might also be involved. His mother-in-law wanted him to think about it beforehand and be prepared.

Seeing the desolate look on his mother-in-law's face, her eyes looking at him, as if she had countless things she wanted to say but couldn't, he felt really uncomfortable.

No one knows better than him how his mother and concubine came to be here all these years.

King Wu stood up abruptly, "Mother, my son knows what to do, don't worry."

Concubine Ruan Ming felt relieved when she heard her son's words. She stood up and walked to her son. Then she looked at him and said softly: "Don't blame me for being cruel. Concubine only has a son like you, so naturally you are the most important thing in everything."

"My son knows, you should rest early, I will go back first."

"Go ahead."

Ruan Mingfei looked at her son's leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief, finally removing the big stone.

***

In the East Palace, Su Xinyi finally met Mu Xing, but she did not expect that Mu Xing would come to see her at this time.

Su Xinyi was surprised when she saw him. He was followed by Wu Shun. Why did these two people get together?

Mu Xing and Wu Shun came forward to greet them, and Su Xinyi asked them to stand up and talk.

Seeing that Mu Xing looked good, she smiled and said, "It seems that he has recovered well from his injuries at Zeng Liang's place. Now that you have found out your conscience, you have come back to admit your mistake?"

Mu Xing:......

He knew he couldn't avoid this.

Still with a dull face, he stretched out his hand to push Wu Shun forward.

Wu Shun:......

Su Xinyi's eyes fell on Wu Shun, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Wu Shun hadn't seen the Crown Princess for a long time. Since he had a vivid memory of the first time they met and fought, he was particularly nervous every time he saw the Crown Princess.

"To return to the Crown Princess, I have something to report to you."

"Tell me what it is." Su Xinyi couldn't think of anything Wu Shun could ask her about.

"It's not my matter, it's something that Uncle Dong Li asked his subordinates to convey to him," Wu Shun replied.

Dong Libo?

"Did Uncle Dong Li ask you for help?" Su Xinyi asked curiously.

When Dongli Prince's Mansion became Dongli Bo Mansion, Wu Shun was the first to light the fire. Jiang Mopan always retaliates, and Wu Shun will definitely appear repeatedly in his little book of revenge.

As a result, Jiang Mopan now asked Wu Shun to deliver a message to her?

This... I really didn't expect it.

"Yes." Wu Shun nodded.

"Then what do you want to say first?" Su Xinyi said.

Wu Shun paused for a moment and then said: "Dong Libo asked his subordinates to tell the Crown Princess that he found a roster from Xu Yurong and asked his subordinates to pass it on to you."

After Wu Shun finished speaking, he took out a thin booklet and handed it over with both hands.

Forsythia stretched out her hand to take it, turned around and handed it to the Crown Princess.

Su Xinyi took it. The book was very thin, with only five or six pages, and the cover was blank. She reached out and opened a page, and saw that there were more than a dozen names written on it, but she didn't recognize any of them. When she turned back, there were More detailed information about these people, such as where each person is from and what they are doing. In addition, the last column also indicates the place where the work is done.

Su Xinyi looked at the names of teahouses and wineries scattered around, and couldn't help but think of the former shopkeeper of Yubaozhai. Her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Wu Shun, "Does Uncle Dongli have anything else to say?"

"Uncle Dong Li said that it was not easy to find the booklet and it was not convenient for him to hand it to His Highness the Crown Prince in public, so he asked his subordinates to send it to you."

Su Xinyi chuckled lightly, it was true that the prodigal son turned back. Jiang Mopan, who had all the five poisons back then, was doing things really differently now.

"I know about this matter. I will give this book to His Highness the Crown Prince. You go and reply to Uncle Dong Li to reassure him."

Wu Shun hurriedly bowed in response, then turned around and pushed it down.

Mu Xing watched Wu Shun walk away cleanly and silently. He suppressed the thought of retreating with him. He still wanted to keep his legs.

Su Xinyi put the book away and then looked at Mu Xing, "Back then, you and Jinglue were really able to cover the sky with one hand. You disappeared as soon as you said you were missing. It was so neat and tidy."

Mu Xing knew that he was in the wrong in this matter, and coughed lightly and said: "The matter was urgent at that time, and it was impossible to spread the news to the outside world. Moreover, Lu Minglin personally led people to hunt us down at that time. In order to avoid being noticed, so Released the news that he was seriously injured and hiding. In fact, although he was indeed injured, it was not very serious."

"As long as the person doesn't die, it's not serious to you."

Mu Xing was shocked. He coughed lightly and then said: "Fengpingwei was escorting a batch of official rations at that time. I just got some news. I wanted to catch up and have a look, but I didn't expect to alert the snake."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Escorting official rations? When did Fengpingwei have this job?"

"It's the grain that was emptied from the granary and sent out in the name of escorting official grain for the imperial court."

Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing, "Does His Highness know about this?"

"I reported this matter after meeting the Crown Prince. Before that, I also had a bad relationship with Commander Xie. It was precisely because Commander Xie knew about this that he pretended to be seriously injured and hid it, but instead sent a message to let Fan Qianshi lead the troops. They took a detour and robbed the army supplies, so Lu Minglin bit us like crazy and wouldn't let go."

Su Xinyi was silent. No wonder when she first met The Interpretation Guide, he was a little vague when talking about being injured. He also stabbed Lu Minglin behind his back. His Highness did not mention this, fearing that it would be reserved for The Interpretation Guide. Face?

It really made me laugh.

She looked at Mu Xing, "Besides this, is there anything else?"

"Gone."

Mu Xing answered so quickly that Su Xinyi became suspicious. She looked at his expression carefully and saw that Mu Xing's eyes refused to look at her, so there must be something wrong.

Su Xinyi said "Oh" and said slowly: "I haven't seen old man Zeng for a long time. I asked Zhanqiao to go and pay him New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year."

If Zeng Liang can't figure it out yet.

Mu Xing's face turned dark, this was Chi Guoguo's threat.

His eyes finally looked at Su Xinyi, he took a deep breath and said, "Is Lu Minglin's sister going back to explain the scriptures?"

Um?
