Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Su Xinyi not only met King Rong, but also met Shang Junyan. Why were these two people together?

Facing Su Xinyi's suspicious eyes, King Rong felt unlucky. He looked at Shang Junyan and asked, "Why are you going wherever I go?"

Shang Junyan was silent for a moment, looked at King Rong and said, "Your Highness, I am here to ask the county chief about the case."

case?

ask?

Su Xinyi's eyes lingered between the two of them, wondering what was going on?

Shang Junyan was silent for a moment, then took the initiative and said, "I was ordered to investigate the case of Wu Qianhu being attacked, so I wanted to ask the county chief a few words."

Su Xinyi was really surprised. How could this case fall on Shang Junyan? Isn't Shang Junyan in the Ministry of Household Affairs now?

It was rare for King Rong to be in sync with Su Xinyi's thoughts at this moment. He looked at Su Xinyi and complained, "Do you think there is something wrong with Liang Fuyan? He insisted on seconding Shang Junyan from the Ministry of Husbandry. Is there no one in their punishment department? It's so big. This yamen doesn’t even have a facade, doesn’t Liang Fuyan feel ashamed?”

Su Xinyi no longer knew what expression to put on. In his previous life, King Rong regarded Shang Junyan as his right-hand man, and treating him like a donkey was not enough, but now?

Good guy, don't be too obvious about your dislike.

Perhaps Su Xinyi's eyes were too strange. King Rong felt that the soles of his feet were getting cold. He looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "What is that look in your eyes? What do you mean?"

Su Xinyi came back to her senses after hearing what King Rong said, looked at him and said: "No, I am just surprised that Lord Shang is the official investigating this case. Since the prince is here, Lord Shang, please come in."

Seeing Su Xinyi acting coyly and Shang Junyan acting like we are not familiar with each other, King Rong really refused to leave. Su Xinyi wouldn't forget that she was engaged, right?

Speaking of which, he had seen Su Xinyi and Shang Junyan meet privately several times, and Shang Junyan refused to marry Qiong Si. It was really not good for Su Xinyi.

If he doesn't leave, he can't leave. If he leaves, who will watch his eldest brother's wife?

Su Xinyi happened to go out and met the two of them. At this time, other people from the Duke's Mansion got the news and rushed over. The three elder brothers were all at the Yamen. The leader was Su Qi. When he saw King Rong, he came forward to greet him.

King Rong waved his hand, looked at Su Qi and said, "I am just here to accompany Master Shang in handling the case. There is no need to disturb other people."

Shang Junyan:......

Su Xinyi:?

Good guy, King Rong is really good at telling lies with his eyes open.

It is indeed not easy for the female relatives at home to come forward. After all, they are here for official business. Su Xinyi said to Su Qi: "Second brother, it's nothing. Don't let grandma worry. Don't alarm them. Mr. Shang is here because of Wu Qianhu." Just ask a few questions about the injury, don't worry.

Can Su Qi rest assured?

He couldn't let go at all, but he couldn't show any flaws in front of King Rong and Shang Junyan. He dismissed the younger brothers with a smile, "Third brother, go tell your grandmother and some elders and let them Don't worry. Fourth brother, go to my eldest brother's place. Fifth brother, go see if your eldest uncle, third uncle, and my father's office are there."

The few people immediately split up and acted separately. Su Xinyi knew that the second brother wanted to let the eldest uncle and the others come back to take charge, but in fact, there was no need.

"Let's go in and talk." Su Xinyi took the initiative and said, "Second brother, let me borrow your study room."

Su Qi smiled and said, "Why don't we go to the main hall? The study is too small after all."

Su Xinyi thought about it, but it would be too formal to go to the main hall, but when her second brother asked, she agreed.

Su Qi led the way, and the group sat down in the main hall. When the boy brought tea, Su Qi smiled and said: "Sir Shang, I don't know how you asked our sixth sister about the attack on Wu Qianhu. , speaking of which, my sister and Wu Qianhu are strangers and have never crossed paths, so I really don’t know where the question comes from.”

Shang Junyan was still very surprised at this time. The most profound thing in his memory was the completely different appearance of the Duke of Qi's palace in his two lifetimes.

In this life, he had little interaction with people from the Duke of Qi's palace, but in his previous life, he had more intersections because he married Su Xinyi. However, the most obvious thing in his memory was that several men in the Su family did not practice martial arts and loved reading, but they did There is really no outstanding talent.

In addition, the civil servants did not hope that the generals would produce any literary stars, and they always deliberately suppressed them secretly. Although it was not obvious, there was always a reason for Su Qi's success in taking the exams for merit.

What he remembers most deeply is that they always studied behind closed doors and rarely saw them go out. The ones he saw the most were Duke Qi and Su Yi, but because Su Yi was replaced by Luo Shaodeng, the Duke of Qi's family was very hostile to Su. Xin Yi's attitude is always not very friendly.

Seriously speaking, since Su Chun's death in the previous life, the people in the Duke's Palace of Qi had slowly become a mess. He didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels a little creepy.

But the current Qi Duke's mansion is completely different from the previous life. Everyone in this mansion is full of vitality, and the relationship between brothers and sisters is very close at first glance.

Thinking of Su Qi's abandonment of literature and martial arts, he subconsciously glanced at Su Xinyi. In her previous life, she was able to drag his family to death for the people of the Duke of Qi's palace, which shows that she has feelings for her family.

They are all people who have started over. Looking at the completely different appearance of the Duke of Qi's palace from the previous life, and thinking about how little he has changed in his family, Shang Junyan can imagine that Su Xinyi must have done a lot to his family. Big thoughts.

On the other hand, he was the complete opposite. In his previous life, he had always believed that his family was united and stable, allowing him to have no worries, but the fact made him feel very sad.

He also worked hard to change his family. His grandmother no longer took care of things, so he didn't need to worry about it. His father had always been greedy for pleasure and was not very attentive to his errands. There was no success or fault. As a son, he couldn't urge him to make progress, so he I can only keep an eye on my mother and sister so that they don't make any more mistakes.

But whether it was his mother or his sister, their stubborn tempers gave him a headache. No matter what method he tried, it was difficult to change them.

This made him frustrated and helpless. He never knew why the gentle and kind mother and sister in his memory had become so strange.

He was still struggling in place, but Su Xinyi had already transformed the Duke of Qi's mansion, and even the reputation of the Duke of Qi's mansion had now been greatly changed.

In comparison, he was simply ashamed.

Shang Junyan retracted his messy thoughts, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Su Qi, "Second Young Master, don't worry, it's just a routine question. Although Yong'an County Lord and Wu Qianhu are strangers and have nothing to do with each other, because Su Shizi was injured first, so Wu Qianhu was injured, which inevitably makes people wonder whether the Duke of Qi is harboring a grudge and seeking revenge privately. Especially since the county master has outstanding martial arts skills and always acts as he pleases, he is naturally among those questioned."

Su Qi's expression was not very good, and he looked at Shang Junyan, "Sir Shang, please don't talk nonsense. If someone listens to what you say, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on my sister's reputation."

Shang Junyan:......

He just tells it like it is.

Prince Rong suddenly became happy. He looked at Shang Jun and said, "That's right, Mr. Shang, you are an official who was ordered to investigate the case. You can't have any personal emotions in your words."

Su Xinyi:......

"Your Majesty, I don't have any favoritism. Second Young Master, I'm not exaggerating. I think everyone in the capital knows the temper of the county lord. Any person would have some doubts if something like this happened. This is... It’s a normal thing, and besides, the county lord has His Highness the King and His Highness the Crown Prince to testify, I’m just here to ask questions and collect evidence.”

Su Qi thought this was a bit strange, but Shang Junyan did not seem to have any ill intentions, so he took a step back, looked at him and said, "Sir Shang, in this case, please ask."

Shang Junyan took out a pen and paper and spread it on the table, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "County Lord, I'm offended."

Su Xinyi glanced at Shang Junyan. She always felt that the way Shang Junyan looked at her was strange, "Master Shang is dedicated to serving the public, so I will naturally cooperate. You just ask."

Seeing Su Xinyi pretending, Wang Rong almost rolled his eyes. This person is the best at pretending.

Shang Junyan's questions were all about Su Xinyi's itinerary that day, and he asked very clearly every quarter of an hour, especially in terms of details. He found that many of Su Xinyi's words were exactly the same as those of King Rong, and he recorded them every word.

The more King Rong listened, the more frightened he became. Fortunately, his elder brother asked him to prepare what happened that day several times. Shang Junyan was so cunning, and the way he asked him was completely different from that of Su Xinyi.

For example, ask him what tea he drank and what snacks he had at the theater. When I asked Su Xinyi, I asked her if she ordered tea at the theater, when she ordered it, who ordered it, what she ordered, and when it was served.

Insidious, too insidious.

Who would think of such trivial matters? He would definitely not think about it. Fortunately, his elder brother took care of everything.

It was clear that Shang Junyan was asking Su Xinyi, but King Rong beside him was sweating all over his back.

He was also afraid that Shang Junyan would see some flaws, so he had to put on a straight face and put on a show.

So when he agreed to testify with Su Xinyi, was there something wrong with his brain? Who would have thought that there could be such a big risk in just testifying?

Isn't it just someone asking if they've seen it before? He replied, "I've seen it before." Isn't that the end of it?

He actually asked about the lyrics of the play. This is too much!

Of course, King Rong didn’t know the words of the drama. The eldest brother said that he didn’t have to memorize it because it was normal that he didn’t know!

He just wanted to ask, what's normal about this?

But now that Su Xinyi actually said a few words, he fell silent, and he vaguely understood why.

After Shang Junyan finished asking, he carefully put away his records, then stood up and left, "I'm sorry for disturbing you so much today. Please forgive me."

"Sir Shang is here on official business, so there is no need to disturb you. It is what we should do to cooperate with you in the investigation." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Shang Junyan felt strange looking at Su Xinyi like this. She was so familiar with the official accent. In his memory, Su Xinyi had always been taciturn. He rarely listened to her, let alone laughed as much as she does now.

Su Qi was about to say that he was going to see off the guests when he heard his sister say: "Second brother, you sit with Prince Kuan while I see off Lord Shang."

Su Qi met her sister's eyes and nodded, "Okay."

My sister should ask Mr. Shang something, but it’s hard to do so in front of the prince.

King Rong frowned and asked Shang Junyan to get out. What else could he give? Is it so polite?

Why don't you see Su Xinyi being so polite to him?

Su Xinyi and Shang Junyan walked out of the door. Naturally, they could not see the dissatisfied look in Wang Rong's eyes. The two walked a few steps before Su Xinyi lowered his voice and said, "I have something to ask you. I don't know if you are willing to do it." Clear up my doubts?"

Shang Junyan slowed down and hesitated before saying, "You want to ask me about Luo Shaodeng?"

Su Xinyi was shocked. She raised her eyes and looked at Shang Junyan.

When Shang Junyan saw Su Xinyi's surprised look, he didn't know what he was feeling at this moment. It was hard to describe and made him feel a little unhappy.

"Yes, you know what he did before. This time he didn't have the chance to plot against my eldest brother, but I didn't expect that he would be involved in hurting my eldest brother again after going round and round."

"It's not related."

"It's just that there is no evidence yet, but you can't deny that he married Li Xiangxiu, and Li Xiangxiu's sister-in-law is the sister of Liang Ju's wife. This relationship is a bit far, but it is also very close, because they also appeared in In the circle where my elder brother was injured. Shang Junyan, please tell your conscience, are you sure there is no connection at all?"

"How dare you say that Wu Daohong was seriously injured had nothing to do with you?" Shang Junyan looked at Su Xinyi and asked.

Su Xinyi naturally couldn't admit it, and immediately said: "Does it matter? Didn't you see the testimony? I have a perfect alibi, but does Luo Shaoden have it?"

When Shang Junyan heard Su Xinyi's words, he knew that Wu Daohong was indeed injured by her. He just couldn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Rong were willing to testify for her about such a thing.

"His Royal Highness, as the crown prince of a country, has to do something for you..."

"Shang Junyan!" Su Xinyi's face sank, "As an official of the imperial court, you must not talk nonsense. Every word you say must be supported by evidence. His Highness the Crown Prince has always been fair and aboveboard in his dealings. His Highness's reputation is extremely important. , it’s just Wu Daohong, don’t you think about it, if I really did such a thing, would I ask His Highness to perjure myself? Is Wu Daohong worthy?"

Faced with Su Xinyi's unconcealed anger, Shang Jun was stunned for a moment. Su Xinyi told him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had rescued her several times in the previous life. She had always repaid her kindness and would definitely not delay her His Highness went into the water.

That means His Highness the Crown Prince didn’t know about it, so His Highness really met Su Xinyi in the theater?

But why did Su Xinyi hurt Wu Daohong under the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince?

Shang Junyan couldn't figure it out.

Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan's expression and felt slightly relieved. She almost leaked the truth. She couldn't let Shang Junyan doubt His Royal Highness, so she immediately continued the previous topic, "You haven't answered me yet, what happened to Luo Shaodeng?" What's going on?"
