Once the Crown Prince Joins In

232: Princess Runyi’s sincerity in apology

Su Xinyi immediately got down, freshened up as quickly as possible, and then went straight to Su Yi's yard.

There were not many people in the yard at this time. Su Xinyi came too quickly. She first greeted her uncle and aunt, then greeted her sister-in-law. She looked at her eldest brother lying on the bed and saw him smiling at her. .

Su Xinyi's eyes turned red, she tried hard to suppress her sourness, and took a step forward, "Brother, how do you feel now?"

"It's very good. Don't worry. The imperial doctor said that it will return to normal after a while."

"Imperial physician?" Su Xinyi asked in surprise.

Su Yi nodded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a doctor out of the city and met us on the way. He gave me a simple treatment for my injury first and he will come back later."

The eldest aunt said from the side: "Thank you all for this, Xin Yi."

"Auntie, please don't say that." Su Xinyi said immediately, she felt ashamed. "Where is the injury, brother?"

After hearing this, the eldest lady suppressed the tears in her eyes, and then she pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's just a few broken ribs. The doctor said it will heal in a few months. It's really fine. Don't worry."

How many ribs were broken?

It took a hundred days to break my muscles and bones, not to mention the bumpy journey back home. I don’t know how much pain I will have to endure.

The elder saw Xin Yi's eyes were red. He stood up and said, "A real man, this injury is nothing. It's okay."

It was a big deal if his life was not in danger. It would have scared him half to death if he was seriously injured. Later, he found out that only a few ribs were broken, and his tone eased.

By the time he said this, everyone else had arrived, even the wife came holding Mother Yu's hand, and the fourth lady was accompanying her.

Su Yi wanted to get up, but was unable to get up due to the pain.

The madam sat hurriedly by the bed and looked at her eldest grandson with a distressed look on her face, "What are you doing when you get up? Grandma is here to see you."

Su Yi smiled sheepishly, "It's my grandson's fault for making grandma worry."

"Nonsense, grandma thinks you are the best." The wife patted her eldest grandson's hand, "Take good care of your injuries and get well soon. Our children's bumps are nothing, every time you learn, you will gain wisdom. Keep this in mind in the future. Just teach me a lesson.”

Su Yi asked in confusion: "Grandma, do you know?"

"Your sixth sister told me something."

Su Yi looked at Su Xinyi, and the elder also looked at her.

Only then did the eldest lady suddenly remember and said: "I was only worried about my son and forgot to tell you about this. My third brother and sister came to me before and told me some things..."

While the eldest lady was explaining to her husband and son, others soon arrived, and the room suddenly became lively.

Su Yi waited for her mother to finish speaking, and then told the story again. It turned out that it was almost the same as what Su Xinyi had heard, but Su Yi himself said more details, "At that time on the stage, I felt that Wu Daohong's move was unusual, and I could feel that his moves were just perfect to defeat me. I was very surprised at the time. Later, after he attacked me mercilessly and I was seriously injured, I suddenly realized that he must have practiced and studied our Su family's moves in advance. How could I not I don’t understand what’s going on. I have no grudge against Wu Daohong, and I didn’t even meet him very much before this. I don’t know why he did this. Now that my mother said this, I understand.”

The third uncle said at this time: "Yin Ru has gone to investigate secretly. Don't worry, as long as we get evidence, the third uncle will definitely bring Wu Daohong to justice."

The second master was not optimistic and said worriedly: "Since he dared to take action, he must be sure, and as the eldest nephew said, they had no grudges or motives before. It is true that Wu Daohong was a general under Liang Ju, but this It doesn’t mean that we can drag the Li family into trouble, we still need evidence.”

Su Qi said at this time: "Dad, can we really not get any evidence?"

The second master thought for a while, looked at his son and said, "Unless Wu Daohong can retaliate, as long as he doesn't bite out Liang Ju, there is nothing we can do. Besides, it is really just our speculation at the moment, and the truth remains to be verified."

Su Qi's expression changed with anger, "As Wu Daohong said himself, if he has no enmity with his eldest brother, why would he do such a cruel thing? Only a ghost would believe that he couldn't stop the momentum for a while."

The eldest man has always been a calm and steady character, and now he is filled with anger. This is his only son. If something happens to him, he will be the last of his kind.

He looked at his son and said: "You take good care of yourself and don't worry about other things. Dad and your second and third uncles will seek justice for you. This matter is not something that Wu Daohong just said he missed. This is not a mistake." There are no absolutes in the world, and dad will definitely find the evidence."

"Dad." Su Yi looked at his father with some worry. He had never seen his father look like this before.

The madam then said: "Your father is right. You just need to take good care of your health and recover as soon as possible. Your elders will make the decision for you on other matters. Okay, everyone, please go back. The imperial doctor will be here soon."

After listening to the Madam's words, everyone stood up and left.

Su Xinyi took a few steps outside and heard the elder calling her, "Xinyi, come to the study with me."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed up.

The second master and the third master also followed, and after walking a few steps, the second master turned around and called the Su Qi brothers, "Come and listen, you all grow up, and you may encounter such things again in the future. "

Su Qi and others hurriedly raised their feet and followed.

This was the first time that Su Xinyi came to the uncle's study. The study was very spacious and filled with books all over the wall. After the elder, the second and third masters sat down, they asked a few juniors to sit down as well.

Su Xinyi sat down with her brothers and listened to her eldest uncle say: "What happened to your eldest brother cannot be an accident. What do you think? Let's talk about it now."

As the children grow up, they still need to be taught what they need to teach.

Although Xin Yi is a girl, she will be the princess in the future, so she should know these things, not to mention she is not an ordinary woman.

"Uncle and nephews all think this matter has something to do with the Li family." Su Qi said after thinking.

"Tell me what you think." The second master looked at his son and said.

"For such a big event as a patrol, a thousand households can take action. The person behind it is definitely not something that a commander like Liang Ju can do. Wu Daohong is not stupid. How can a commander be able to withstand the government of our country? There is someone more powerful who makes him feel at ease, and he is not afraid of our family’s investigation and retaliation.”

The second master nodded slightly, "Is there more?"

Su Qi looked at his third brother.

Su Bei immediately said: "After some discussion, our brothers felt that the Li family was the biggest suspect, because only the Li family had the ability to reach out and march into the army. With the presence of the beloved concubine Li Guifei, we could also do it. Anxin will not be discovered, or even if he is discovered, he can be saved."

The third master said at this time: "The news came back from Yin Ru that Liang Ju's relationship with the Li family is not harmonious. From this point of view, he should not do anything for the Li family."

"Third uncle, can Yin Qianhu tell you why Liang Ju and the Li family are not on good terms? Is this Li family the main family of the Li family or a branch?"

That's a good question.

The third master nodded slightly, "We are still investigating the details. Since you guys are so worried about your elder brother, then go and investigate on your own and find out as much as you can."

It can be regarded as training them.

The elder looked at them and said, "Don't alert the enemy."

Although he is kind by nature, he is neither stupid nor stupid. He cannot allow others to touch his son. He has no blood yet.

Su Xinyi and the others came out of uncle's study. They looked at each other and discussed what to do.

"Sixth sister, you have many ideas, what do you think we should do first?" Su Qi looked at Su Xinyi and asked.

Su Xinyi really didn't have a good idea for a while, so she looked at her brothers and said, "I haven't come up with a good idea yet. Do any of my brothers have any ideas?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Su Chu first said, "Why don't I go check the grudge between Liang Ju and the Li family first? I always think this is a bit suspicious."

"It makes sense. Although Liang Ju is a commander, he is nothing in front of the Li family. How can he have a quarrel with the Li family and still be known to others?" Su Qi also felt very strange.

"Is it possible that this is a cover-up? In fact, Liang Ju is a lackey of the Li family, but he didn't want to be suspected, so he deliberately showed that he was estranged from the Li family." Su Ju looked at everyone and spoke.

"It's not impossible, but it's better to check first." Su Bei said.

Su Chu said: "Then my third brother and I will check this first."

Su Qi said: "Then my fourth brother and I will go check on Wu Daohong."

Several people quickly divided the work and cooperated, and gave birth to Su Xinyi. She said to her brothers: "I will check on Liang Ju's wife and sister."

Liang Ju was not directly related by marriage to the Li family, but his wife's sister was married to Li Muyan, a branch of the Li family, and Li Muyan's sister Li Xiangxiu was married to Luo Shaodeng.

It's hard to tell my brothers about the complicated relationship here, so I can only say to check on Liang Ju's wife and sister, which sounds more reasonable.

Everyone split up. Su Xinyi took Zhan Qiao and Wu Shun with him, changed into men's clothes, put on some disguises, and the three of them went out.

Although Li Muyan's family is a side branch of the Li family, it has already appeared in the fifth server. However, Li Muyan is good at working in the camp. In his generation, the relationship with the family has gradually become closer, so he took advantage of the Li family's relationship to marry Ruzhou Du Sihe. Qi's second daughter.

The reason why he went to great lengths to marry He Qi's youngest daughter was because He Qi's eldest daughter married Liang Ju, the commander of Wu Xiangwei.

A commander is naturally not a high official in front of the Li family, but Wu Xiangwei is also one of the four attached imperial guards. Although he is not a close minister of the emperor, he is still a person close to the emperor's close ministers.

Such a relationship is difficult for Li Muyan.

Su Xinyi ran a few streets and found out that Li Muyan lived in Dunhuafang, which was far away from Pingkangfang, where the Li family's original family was located. Although it belonged to Dongfang, the location was not good.

It can be seen that before Li Muyan, the situation of his family was really bad, and his residence was almost close to the city gate.

All the way to Dunhuafang, Su Xinyi asked Wu Shun and Zhan Qiao to separate from her. The three of them went to inquire about the news separately, and finally met together.

Su Xinyi walked around Dunhuafang and asked some old people and children on the streets about the Li family, but she didn't know much, and there was no useful information. Most of them heard that Mrs. Li was a kind-hearted and good person, and that the Li family My young lady is also a good person. She often does good deeds, such as giving some food to the uncared-for elderly people in Dunhuafang, and donating money to the school so that children who want to study can attend classes.

In fact, many wealthy families would do such good deeds, but not many people like the Li family in Dunhuafang would praise them.

Soon, Wu Shun and Zhan Qiao met at a food stall on the street. They sat down and ordered three bowls of sweet water while eating and chatting.

There were many customers coming and going at the food stalls, and it was lively. They were not conspicuous among the crowd.

The three exchanged information and found that the information they inquired about was almost the same.

Su Xinyi found it very interesting. This was the first time she encountered such a situation. Either Li Muyan's mother and daughter-in-law were really kind people, or they were people who were very good at pretending.

Apart from these, there is no other information at all, which is strange.

There was nothing he could do about being anxious. Su Xinyi looked at Wu Shun and Zhan Qiao and said, "Stay in a nearby inn and keep an eye on them day and night."

The two agreed immediately, and there was nothing else they could do for the time being.

After eating the noodles, Su Xinyi returned to the Duke's Mansion, leaving Wu Shun and Zhan Qiao to take turns watching the Li family.

It's not that Su Xinyi didn't think about going to Zeng Liang, but Dunhuafang and Zeng Liang's territory were completely different, so it was rare for him to know any news.

The last time she asked Zeng Liang to check on Shu Xuebo and Xu Yurong, it was a bit difficult for him. She shouldn't bother them this time.

When crossing Changxing Bridge, Su Xinyi reined in his horse for some reason and suddenly turned around, and saw Yan Qiongsi at the window of the restaurant facing the street.

Today, Yan Qiongsi's expression is calm, and she is no longer as crazy as before. The tapestry coat with gold Ruyi pattern makes her face beautiful, and the red gold hairpin with precious stones in her hair is even more shining.

Su Xinyi knew that Yan Qiongsi had recovered from his illness.

"Master Yong'an County, would you like to come up and tell me something?"

It was so ridiculous that Yan Qiongsi came to talk to her before Su Xinyi arrived first. She had nothing to say to her, not to mention that she still had something to do. He was about to refuse, but he heard her say again: "I know that I was very fond of the county in the past." The Lord has been offended many times, can you give me a chance to make amends today?"

Su Xinyi frowned slightly and rolled her eyes. Maybe she could get some information from Yan Qiongsi. After all, Princess Pingjing liked her very much. Maybe she could know something about Luo Shaodeng.

Su Xinyi simply dismounted, asked the store owner to tie the horse for her, and went directly upstairs.

There was Yan Qiongsi's maid waiting at the door. When she saw her, she immediately bent down and said, "My maid has met the county master."

Su Xinyi nodded slightly and walked in. As soon as she entered, the door was gently closed again.

She didn't care, strode over, looked at Yan Qiong and said, "Princess Runyi, long time no see, how are you?"

Yan Qiongsi smiled and said, "Master Yong'an, sit down."

Su Xinyi lifted up her robe and sat down, then watched Yan Qiongsi holding the pot and pouring tea, and then handed it to her. Her slender fingers were as beautiful as jade, which was completely different from her calloused palms.

She stretched out her hand to hold the cup of tea and thanked her, "Princess, you and I have known each other for a long time. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. To be honest, I really have something to do here, and I really can't delay for too long."

Yan Qiongsi smiled softly when he heard this, "I won't delay the county master for a long time. I mainly want to thank you and say sorry."

Su Xinyi looked at each other in surprise.

Yan Qiongsi met Su Xinyi's gaze and said directly without avoiding it: "I am a proud person and have never bowed my head to anyone. The county master is the first one. You saved my life in Biyang Palace, and later I You also gave me good words when I was possessed by evil spirits, and although we ended up unhappy, I thought about it later that the county master really had good intentions."

Su Xinyi smiled when he heard this and did not answer the words.

Su Xinyi didn't speak, and Yan Qiongsi didn't seem to care, and said to himself: "I really don't want to apologize to you at Biyang Palace. Even though you saved me, I wish it wasn't you who saved me. "

Su Xinyi became a little interested, and what he said sounded true, "Human life is at stake. At that time, it was just a matter of urgency, and I never thought about the princess thanking me. The matter has passed, princess, don't take it to heart. "

"At that time, I was convinced that you wanted to steal my sweetheart. No matter how you explained it, I just didn't believe it. When I came to my senses and found out that you entered the palace to run for election, I knew that I had really misunderstood. If you and Shang Junyan really have a relationship If you have an affair, you will naturally not run for election, and you will definitely choose a marriage to avoid running."

Su Xinyi raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qiongsi. Seeing her serious look, he said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the past is over, and the princess doesn't need to worry about it."

Yan Qiongsi said seriously: "Su Xinyi, you are a generous person, and you don't mention your kind deeds. But I can't just let it go. I have to pay back everything I owe you, otherwise I will see you once in the future." Isn’t this a guilty conscience? You don’t have to think that I said this just because you want to be the Crown Princess. Even if you are not the Crown Princess, I will do the same now that I have figured it out. "

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, "I have received the princess's apology."

"What kind of apology is this? County Lord Yong'an looks down on me too much." Yan Qiongsi said with a straight face, "I heard about Brother Ling's injury. I have some news here to tell the County Lord. Even if it is my apology to the County Lord Apologize."

Su Xinyi was still thinking about how to get information from Yan Qiongsi, but she didn't expect that she would actually use this as a thank you gift. She immediately said: "Then I will thank the princess first. I wonder what news the princess knows?"

Su Xinyi was very cautious and did not mention any of her own attitude towards this matter. She could not trust Yan Qiong.

Yan Qiongsi didn't seem to care about Su Xinyi's words. She said directly: "Wu Daohong injured Prince Su. How could he have such courage? There must be someone behind him. I don't know anything else. I only know one thing, Liang Ju had a childhood sweetheart, but it was a pity that Liang Ju failed Xiao Qingmei in order to marry Mr. He. When he married Mr. He, he quietly raised Xiao Qingmei outside as his wife. Basically no one knew about this matter. , If I hadn’t interacted with Mr. Qiao before, I would never have known about it.”

Su Xinyi was really surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yan Qiongsi looked at Su Xinyi, her brows were less ferocious and more gentle and sentimental, "Qiao and Liang Ju have a deep love. If anyone knows Liang Ju's secret, she is the one. If you check Su It’s better to start with this person to find out the truth about the prince’s injury.”

Su Xinyi looked at Yan Qiongsi with a serious expression, "Thank you so much, Princess. If my eldest brother was really maliciously injured, this news is very important. Princess, please don't mention the past things from now on." Yes, how about it?"

A genuine smile appeared on Yan Qiongsi's face, "That's not bad. It's worth all the effort I put into waiting for you here for most of the day."

Su Xinyi keenly caught a detail, "The princess is waiting for me here. It seems that she knows my whereabouts?"

Yan Qiongsi's face froze, and then he snorted, "I wanted to find someone to apologize, but I couldn't find anyone, so I had to ask someone to inquire."

Seeing Su Xinyi trying not to get angry, Yan Qiongsi was extremely proud. He stood up and said, "Just this once, I won't be too lazy to do such a thing in the future. Oh, by the way, I'd like to remind you that the Crown Princess is not like that. It's so cool, others see you as glorious, but I feel sorry for you."

Su Xinyi:......

Yan Qiongsi left in a hurry, leaving Su Xinyi speechless for a long time.

This apology is so "sincere".

She immediately got up and went downstairs, thinking that since Yan Qiongsi knew that she went to inquire about the Li family, others might also know. Although they are not afraid of others staring at them because of their eldest brother's injury, they still have to be careful in everything.

So Su Xinyi felt that her simple disguise today was indeed too careless, and people who were familiar with her could still recognize her at a glance.

She simply turned back and called Wu Shun and Zhan Qiao back to the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Li Muyan let it go first. She took her people back to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. She didn't go out this time. She felt that her goal was too big, as if Yan Qiongsi had blocked her?

So she went to her eldest uncle, told her directly the news that Yan Qiongsi had told her, and asked her eldest uncle to send someone to investigate.

The elder was really surprised when he got the news. He looked at Xin Yi and asked, "Is this news accurate?"

"Uncle, I'm not sure. I think since Princess Runyi dares to say this, this matter should be true." Su Xinyi said.

The elder was worried that he couldn't get hold of Liang Ju. How could he not be happy to have Liang Ju come to his door now? He looked at Xin Yi and said, "Your worries are justified. You'd better not go out. I'll have someone do it quietly."

My niece is too dazzling, and sometimes she is very troubled.

Su Xinyi was embarrassed and said: "As for Li Muyan, the uncle also needs to spread some rumors."

The elder nodded, "You don't have to worry about that. Your eldest brother is injured. It is natural for our family to find out the truth. I will ask someone to go to the other people who competed that day. Li Muyan's side will not be conspicuous. ”

Su Xinyi was surprised. She always knew that her uncle had an honest hat on his head, but she didn't expect that his uncle was not dull at all. Maybe he was just like her elder brother, he just didn't want to fight and was not very motivated.

Su Xinyi was still in a daze after coming out from her uncle's place, feeling that many of her perceptions in her previous life were not quite right.
