Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Concubine Li waved everyone in the palace to leave, and she leaned against the soft pillow in a daze alone. Google search reading

The still beautiful face seemed calm, but there were waves rolling deep in the eyes.

She knew that if she made this decision, she would suffer countless infamy once the matter was revealed, but she was not willing to accept it.

It was clear that I met His Majesty first, but the late Emperor asked His Majesty to marry the First Queen. She entered the palace one step later than the First Queen, and she died of illness within a few years. She thought she could be the Queen.

As a result, His Majesty remarried Shu.

Looking back now, she still feels angry, annoyed, and powerless.

He obviously promised her, but ended up breaking his promise again and again. What was wrong with her wanting to get back what originally belonged to her?

She's not wrong.

She will not interfere in the war in Zhangping Mansion. She just wants to keep the prince there. As long as the layout is careful and things are done carefully, no one will doubt her.

Moreover, as long as nothing unexpected happens, what my son said makes sense, and the war will be under control.

Concubine Li closed her eyes slightly. Her Majesty was the one who took care of her first. She cannot be blamed for being ruthless.

Five years ago, she was still looking forward to His Majesty's love, but now she only hopes that her son will ascend to the position of crown prince.

As for love?

She doesn't care about it anymore.

\u0026\u0026\u0026

Before the quarrel between the DPRK and the Central Government could come to an end, the Zhangping Mansion once again sent an urgent memorial from 800 miles away, asking His Majesty Zeng Bing to rush for reinforcements.

The Tatars claimed that their 200,000 troops were approaching Zhangping Mansion, and all the enemy towers outside Zhangping Mansion had fallen. In addition, the grain that was about to be harvested in the summer might also fall into the enemy's hands.

Military sentiment was on fire, and the atmosphere in the court was stagnant for a time.

Su Xinyi was preparing to ask for an audience with His Majesty after he went to court today. She wanted to accompany the prince on the expedition, and only if His Majesty nodded could she go with him.

She doesn't seek any fame or official title, she just wants to be a soldier beside His Highness to protect his safety.

Su Xinyi thought over and over how to respond to His Majesty in the East Palace. She did not dare to guess His Majesty's thoughts, but she thought that His Majesty would also be very worried about the prince's safety, so she still had a chance.

However, Su Xinyi did not expect that the accident would happen much faster than planned.

Grandma She hurriedly walked through the corridor, with a somewhat nervous expression on her face. The wind of late spring blew on her face with the restlessness of early summer, making her mood more and more unstable.

"Mammy, what's wrong with you?" Forsythia came out of the hall and was startled when she saw the serious face of Grandma She.

"Is the Crown Princess free now?" Grandma She asked immediately.

Forsythia nodded hurriedly, and Grandma She walked in immediately.

As soon as they entered the palace, they saw the Crown Princess writing something on the desk next to the window. Her face was tense. Grandma She took a gentle breath and then stepped forward to salute, "I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

"Mommy is here." Su Xinyi did not raise her head and continued writing with the pen in her hand, "But is there something wrong?"

She was preparing the documents. If the prince led the army, she would have to see His Majesty immediately, so she requested that the documents accompanying him should be prepared in advance.

"Princess, Your Majesty fainted this morning." Grandma She's voice was trembling, and her face was pale.

The pen in Su Xinyi's hand paused, a drop of ink fell gently on the paper, and the fold became useless.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Nanny She. When she saw Nanny She's expression, she knew that this matter was true and there was no misunderstanding.

"Why did your Majesty faint?"

"I don't know much about it. I only vaguely found out that there was a lot of noise in the court today because there was a big fuss about leading the troops."

Su Xinyi tore the discarded book into pieces, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the wastebasket. She knew it would be like this and couldn't help but worry about the prince.

The Tatar tribes have always been a concern for her father. She knew that the Tatars were determined to be thieves and always wanted to go south and annex Southern Qi, so there were many things about the Tatars in her father's letters.

She had read it by heart in her previous life, so when she got the chance again in this life, she immediately joined forces with the Crown Prince and King Rong to form a caravan. The ultimate purpose of forming the caravan was to spy on the news.

In addition, there is another reason that she has not told anyone because the time is not yet ripe, which is to divide the grassland tribes, provoke their conflicts, and make them kill each other.

Now that the caravan has only entered the grassland for the third time, it has no idea about the situation of the tribes deep in the grassland, so the alienation strategy will not work at all.

The time is still too short.

If she was given another three years, no, two years, her plan would take shape.

In the past few years, we have consolidated the border defense and prepared the Yulin Guard on the border. As long as the military strength of the Yulin Guard and Zhangping Prefecture has increased greatly, there is nothing to fear from the Tatar cavalry.

However, it was obvious that Su Xinyi's idea was too ideal. Just because he could not send out troops and who would lead them, the situation in the court was already like this. You can imagine the mood in which His Majesty sent him away from the capital before his father went to war.

It was hard for Su Xinyi to feel happy when she thought about these things. She sighed slightly. After all, the princes have grown up. Although His Majesty has established a prince, it is obvious that the courtiers are their own masters.

In such a puddle of muddy water, the prince's situation naturally meant that he had to be careful every step of the way.

"Princess, you don't look good. Are you feeling unwell?" Grandma She immediately asked worriedly.

Su Xinyi came back to her senses, looked at Nanny She and shook her head, "As expected, Nanny She is someone who has stayed in the palace. She is very well-informed. If there is any other news, Nanny She must inform me as soon as possible."

Aunt She nodded, "The Crown Princess is at ease, I naturally put the Crown Princess first."

Su Xinyi asked Nanny She to go down, and she sat down and laid out the paper again and started writing the memorial. She already had a premonition that His Majesty would faint and the Prince's decision to lead the army would be finalized.

At this time, His Majesty is unwell, and the Crown Prince should stay in the capital. However, the situation in the DPRK is very complicated, and someone may secretly push the Crown Prince to leave the capital.

Su Xinyi's expression became stern when she thought of this. If the prince leaves at this time, then if she, the crown prince, also follows...

Su Xinyi looked at the excerpt that had not yet written a word, sighed, and finally put away the pen.

She learned so much from Grandma She in her previous life, but she couldn't use it in the Pingjing County Prince's Palace. She didn't expect that she would use it in the palace again.

Putting the pen on the pen holder, she stood up and left the study.

Su Xinyi knew about the news of His Majesty's fainting, but still acted as if he didn't know anything. He didn't even ask anyone to inquire about the affairs of the harem, and just sat and waited in the East Palace.

However, even so, the news of His Majesty's fainting still reached the East Palace before noon.

Now that the news has come out openly, Su Xinyi asked someone to go to Yuanhui Palace to at least express his position in front of the queen to avoid being caught.

As for visiting patients...

This is not something she can do alone.

Su Xinyi immediately ordered that the matter should not be discussed inside or outside the East Palace, and the gate of the East Palace was closed. If anyone came in or out, they must report and obtain permission before they can be released.

Su Xinyi's order was sent to Zhang Jian. As the general manager of the East Palace, Zhang Jian immediately conveyed the order.

At the same time, I was secretly surprised. The Crown Princess reacted really quickly. It would not be a surprise if other ladies did this, but the Crown Princess was different. She grew up in the countryside.

It can be seen that this person does not grow up anywhere, but what matters is his brain and wisdom.

As soon as the news was conveyed, the East Palace immediately became quiet. If anyone had thought before that the Crown Princess would not win the trust of His Highness, there was no need to think about it now.

This day passed extremely long. Su Xinyi waited for the prince in the East Palace, and did not wait for him back until the moon was halfway up.

When she heard the sound, she immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

The palace lantern hanging under the eaves was swayed by the wind, making His Highness' figure sway unsteadily.

The light fell on the prince's body like mist, cold and hazy, and his whole figure seemed to blend into the cold night.

"Your Highness." Su Xinyi's eyes were full of worry. She could tell that the prince was in a bad mood at this moment.

In the past, although his expression was somewhat cold, the look in his eyes was gentle, but now his eyes were filled with coldness.

Facing Su Xinyi's worried eyes, Yan Junchu took a step forward and looked at her intently. The worry and anger in his heart slowly subsided. He held her hand and said softly: "It's okay."

Su Xinyi followed the prince into the palace, sent everyone off, made tea herself, and then said, "Let's drink some tea first."

Let the prince take a moment.

The prince stood in front of the window with his sleeves hanging down, looking up at the night sky. The lights were dim and the moonlight was cold, giving his face a stern look.

Su Xinyi's voice broke the stagnation at this moment. The prince slowly turned around, reached out to take the tea, and slightly raised his eyes to look at Su Xinyi, "Do you know everything?"

"Yes." Su Xinyi nodded, hesitated and then asked with concern: "Father..."

She didn't know whether she should inquire about His Majesty's physical condition. There were many rules in the palace, so she naturally had to be more cautious.

Yan Junchu said: "Father is already awake."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief with a real smile on his face, "That's great."

Your Majesty, nothing can really happen to you. If your Majesty falls down, there will be chaos in the court.

The two couples looked at each other, and Yan Junchu took a sip of tea. A sip of tea slid down his throat, tingling slightly, and then he remembered that because his father suddenly fainted, he had not had a drop of water for most of the day.

After drinking a cup of tea, the prince said: "My father ordered me to lead the army to go out."

Su Xinyi was not surprised at all. If Zheng Guogong could not lead the army, the only one who could control the three armies was the prince.

"When will His Highness leave?" Su Xinyi found that her voice was calm, much calmer than she expected.

"Three days later."

So fast?

Su Xinyi was startled, but nodded, "I will prepare the travel arrangements for Your Highness." She hesitated for a moment, but she still asked decisively, "Your Highness, do you need me to accompany you?"

Yan Junchu smiled for the first time tonight when he heard this. He reached out and brushed Su Xinyi's cheek and said softly: "I know you really want to go on an expedition with me, but the East Palace can't live without you. I'm not in the capital, father." I suddenly fainted this time, and I need someone I trust to stay with me. Ayuan, I don’t trust anyone except you."

Su Xinyi's heart sank. Sure enough, they thought of another place.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Su Xinyi said in a deep voice.

Yan Junchu was a little surprised. He thought Ayuan would definitely ask why, but she agreed without asking anything. What does this mean to you?

This shows that A Yuan has guessed that he will want her to stay.

"Ayuan, are you prepared?"

Su Xinyi looked at the prince and said, "Your Majesty, if your Majesty had not fainted, my request to accompany you on the expedition should have been sent to the emperor by now. But... it is no longer needed now. I know that I am needed here more, and I will Guard the East Palace for Your Highness."

The East Palace has staff and subordinates, but these people cannot enter the harem. This is a shortcoming. But Su Xinyi can. She can know the situation of the harem if she can enter and exit the harem.

With the assistance of the subordinates of the East Palace, there will be no major problems in the stability of the East Palace.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, what does it mean to have a tacit understanding?

He thought, now this is telepathy.

It turned out that being in touch with each other was such a pleasant thing. She knew what she needed and what she wanted to do without words. She was with him at this moment.

"Ayuan..." Yan Junchu hugged the person into his arms, "I'll leave the East Palace to you."

Su Xinyi said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry."

"Your Highness, several adults are asking for an audience at Mingguang Hall." Zhang Jian's voice sounded outside the bead curtain.

Yan Junchu let go of Su Xinyi, with a relaxed look on his face. He looked at her and said softly: "You should rest early, don't wait for me."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Your Highness, take care of yourself."

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed her gently on the cheek, then turned and left.

Su Xinyi reached out to cover her face. She felt her heart beating loudly at this moment and her face seemed to be on fire.

The prince went to the Mingguang Palace to discuss matters. Su Xinyi could not sleep. She immediately began to prepare things for the expedition.

You must prepare more clothes for a change of clothes. You don’t need too many outer clothes. Wear more armor before the battle. The more middle clothes and close-fitting clothes the better.

In addition, you must prepare enough medicine.

Su Xinyi wrote down several medicines for daily use, and later added several medicines for injuries, and then sent them to the Tai Hospital. There are no weapons or weapons on the battlefield, these are life-saving things.

She knew that Taiyuan Hospital would prepare it, but she still had to prepare another copy for His Highness in case of emergency.

In addition, there are also items for daily use. Did she make a list? She went through it one last time and made additions and subtractions.

That night, the prince did not come back, and Su Xinyi was busy almost until midnight before falling asleep, and got up immediately at dawn.

After having a simple breakfast, she continued to have people pack the prince's luggage. Then she called Wu Shun and said to him: "His Royal Highness is leading the troops to go on an expedition. I hope you can go and protect His Highness's safety for me. Are you willing?" "

Wu Shun was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect the Crown Princess to leave this matter to him, but when he recovered, he nodded immediately, "My subordinate is willing."

Su Xinyi nodded, looked at him and said: "The reason why I let you go is because you have been working with His Highness for some time, so if you go, you will not attract attention. Remember, your most important task is It’s to protect His Highness, other than that, don’t write back if it’s not something important.”

If Wu Shun often writes letters to report His Highness's whereabouts and is known to others, she will definitely be charged with spying on His Highness.

Not to mention that she was a princess, even the queen could not spy on the emperor at will.

Wu Shun hesitated and asked, "Princess, what is the important matter?"

Su Xinyi choked, looked at Wu Shun and said, "What do you think?"

Of course, when her life is at stake, how can she say this kind of thing casually? It is unlucky to go to war soon.

Wu Shun understood immediately and nodded hurriedly, "My subordinates understand."

"Go and prepare. Don't make any announcement about this matter. Just inform Zhan Qiao. Don't say what you are going to do when you leave. The people under your command can be left under Zhan Qiao's temporary control first."

"Yes, I obey."

"Go ahead, be careful on this trip." Su Xinyi gave the final warning.

Wu Shun bowed and knelt down, keeping the princess's words in mind.

Wu Shun will not attract too much attention if he follows the prince on the expedition. After all, he has been working under the prince for a while. If he goes with him this time, others will only think that His Highness has called him back.

At noon, the imperial decree appointing the prince to lead the army was issued. Su Xinyi could not guess what others would think, but she received the call from the queen.

It came really fast.

Su Xinyi immediately changed her clothes and headed to Yuanhui Palace. Along the way, she could see that the people in the palace were more cautious and hurried than before. There was not even a sound in Nuo Da's harem and it was very quiet.

Arriving outside Yuanhui Palace, she got off the shoulder carriage. Forsythia immediately stepped forward to straighten her clothes, then bowed and retreated behind her.

When the gatekeeper of Yuanhui Palace saw her squatting down to salute, Su Xinyi nodded slightly and strode in.

After walking around the screen wall, I saw Peiyu, the eldest palace maid in front of the queen, walking towards me quickly, "My slave, I pay my respects to the crown princess."

"No need to be polite." Su Xinyi said slowly, "Does the queen have time to see me now?"

Hearing this, Peiyu glanced at the Crown Princess and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for the Crown Princess. Please come."

"Thank you." Su Xinyi followed Peiyu into the palace and saw that the queen was waiting for her. She stepped forward to greet her and said, "My daughter-in-law pays homage to my mother."

"Get up." The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said calmly, "Princess, I believe you already know about the prince leading the army?"

"Yes." Su Xinyi didn't know what the queen was going to do yet, so she answered cautiously.

The queen really didn't like that Su Xinyi always looked so calm and composed, as if nothing could make her lose her composure. She glanced at her and then said: "The prince is going on an expedition, have you prepared a bag for the prince?" ?”

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "Yes, I have prepared most of them last night, and I am putting them in the boxes today. I have also sent a copy of the list of preparations to His Highness for His Highness's reference."

The smile on the queen's face froze slightly when she heard this, and then she said: "You did a good job. I am worried that you don't know much about this and want to ask someone to help you."

Su Xinyi understood that the queen wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seduce people in the East Palace. She really used every opportunity and refused to let go of the slightest opportunity.

She immediately said before the Queen could say the rest of her words: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother, but I don't need anyone's help for the time being. If you really need it, please come back and ask Queen Mother for help."

The queen was choked back by Su Xinyi's words. She wanted to send him away forcefully, but since the prince was not her own child, it would not be a good thing for her if word spread. Secondly, thinking of her careless son, the queen could not quarrel with the prince now, so she had to suppress her anger, looked at Su Xinyi and said: "Since you can do well, over there, I'm just afraid that you don't understand this. Don’t miss the prince’s important event.”

"What the Queen Mother said is that I will convey your thoughts to His Highness, and Your Highness will definitely be grateful for the Queen Mother's concern." Su Xinyi said to the Queen with a sincere look.

The queen pursed her lips, looked at Su Xinyi and said: "There is no need to bother the prince with these little things. After the prince leaves the capital, you must abide by your duty and abide by the palace rules when you are alone in the East Palace..."

Su Xinyi listened to the Queen's long lectures without any hint of impatience on her face. She kept listening respectfully. The Queen looked bored and finally sent her away.

As soon as Su Xinyi left, the queen said to Aunt Zhao, "Look, at such a young age, she is leak-proof."

Aunt Zhao naturally knew where her queen was concerned, and she comforted her softly: "My queen, I think this is a good thing for the Crown Princess. Now, King Xiang is pretending to be a filial son in front of His Majesty while His Royal Highness, King Rong, is not in the capital." His Majesty is unwell, and Prince Xiang put on a filial look, which will inevitably be remembered by His Majesty. This is not good for His Royal Highness, Prince Rong. Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leads the troops to go on an expedition, among the remaining princes in Beijing, , Prince Xiang’s weight is the heaviest, this is not a good thing, Your Majesty.”

The queen's face darkened after hearing what Aunt Zhao said, "Humph, Concubine Li and her son have made good plans. Do you still want to establish a filial son in front of the courtiers?"

"Mother, just in case." Aunt Zhao said hurriedly.

The queen's face turned even darker when she thought of her son who had gone south. However, what Aunt Zhao said made sense. Naturally, it was important not to let Prince Xiang succeed at the moment, so she said, "What you said makes some sense. In this way, you go to Qi Xianfei and Concubine Qi Xian." If Concubine Ruan Ming goes there, how can King Jing and King Wu fall behind King Xiang?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao immediately said: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, I will go now."

The Queen nodded, "Go."

King Xiang wants to be alone in beauty, but that is not possible.

After Aunt Zhao left, the Queen was reluctant, but thinking of her words, since she thought it made sense, she planned to go to His Majesty to tell His Majesty the Crown Princess's filial piety and her feelings for the Crown Prince.

At the very least, His Majesty should stop thinking about King Xiang's son all the time, and also look at how the prince's concubine, the prince he values ​​most, behaves.

In comparison, in her heart, Prince Xiang was more annoying than Su Xinyi. If she had to choose someone unlucky, she would definitely choose Prince Xiang.

The Queen specially changed into a plain palace dress and led the crowd to His Majesty's bedroom with great fanfare.

Halfway there, the Queen unexpectedly ran into Concubine Li and her entourage. They really met on a narrow road.

Not to mention that the queen's face was not good-looking, even Concubine Li's expression changed slightly.

This is really unfortunate.

The queen walked up to Concubine Li without hesitation, looked at her sideways and said, "Concubine, are you going to visit your majesty too?"

Concubine Li took a breath, with a worried look on her face, and nodded slightly, "Yes, I am very worried about Your Majesty. I didn't expect to meet the Queen here. Is Your Majesty also going to visit Your Majesty?"

The Queen remembered that she could not let Prince Xiang succeed, so she said to Concubine Li: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to tell the Crown Princess some matters, and now I am going to report back to Your Majesty. Speaking of which, the Crown Princess is really a thoughtful and considerate person. I've taken good care of it, and I think His Majesty will be satisfied."

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

Today's update is here, dear little cuties, you have been waiting for a long time.
