Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Su Xinyi is not stupid, so naturally he cannot interfere with King Rong's marriage. He can help with other matters, no matter how big or small, except the marriage.

Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace. There were many affairs in the East Palace. After she had dealt with the affairs, she had time to sit down and have a cup of tea to relax.

Just after taking a breath, Delphinium came in with a pile of posts, "Princess, these are the greetings from the past few days."

When Su Xinyi first entered the East Palace, she was curious about the invitations, but now she had a headache looking at such a pile. She looked at the delphinium and said, "Put it down first. Is there anything important?"

"Most of them are invitations to invite you to various banquets, and some are greeting cards. In addition, there are also greeting cards from Miss Zhu." Delphinium had already picked them out in advance, and handed them to the Crown Princess when she reached out. passed.

Su Xinyi opened the greeting card and scanned it. The message was very simple and didn't say anything. She just wanted to come and visit her.

She knew Zhu Chanyi's temperament. The two had a good personal relationship. It was thanks to Zhu Chanyi's help that the last incident happened. Thinking of this, she looked at the delphinium and said, "I'll write a reply and you can have it sent to Duke Zheng's Mansion." Give it to Miss Zhu.”

Su Xinyi got up and went to the study, wrote a reply and sent it away. She invited Zhu Chanyi to come and talk in the afternoon.

Soon Aunt She also came. Regarding the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, Su Xinyi discussed with Aunt She for a long time before deciding on the general matter. Delphinium and Forsythia listened on the side. Su Xinyi intended to train the two of them. Grandma She is getting older, and in a few years she won't have to work so hard anymore. By then, Delphinium and Forsythia will also be able to take over.

Aunt She obviously also had this intention, and now she often taught the two of them in private. This time at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, Aunt She also wanted them to follow suit, so Su Xinyi naturally agreed.

The prince did not return to the East Palace for lunch. Su Xinyi was used to him being so busy and something would always come to him. After finishing her lunch, she did not go to rest and went directly to the study.

She took out the previous maps of the Tatar tribes. This time there was no news from the caravan. The trip this time was longer than last time. She had beaten up King Rong before. She didn't want to see her either. She took the map back and looked at the route on it to think about it.

She knew that not only she, but also His Highness and His Majesty were waiting for the news of the caravan. Now this caravan had already made its way among the courtiers, and this time the caravan led by King Rong was enough to attract some attention. .

Su Xinyi's fingertips slid all the way along the route the caravan passed. According to their route, if they continue to go west, it is natural that the travel time will be lengthened.

Not knowing when there will be news, it is inevitable to feel worried.

She was especially concerned about the safety of her two cousins. If something unexpected happened, how would she explain it to the clan members in her hometown?

Su Xinyi suppressed the anxiety in her heart, put away the map and put it away carefully. She simply took out a book and read it slowly to calm herself down.

"Princess."

Su Xinyi raised her head, feeling a little confused for a moment. Seeing that the person who came in was Delphinium, she asked, "What's going on?"

"Miss Zhu is here."

Su Xinyi was startled and subconsciously looked at the time, only to realize that it was already Shen Chu. How long has it been?

She nodded and stood up, "Please invite people in."

Su Xinyi said that she went to the inner hall and changed her clothes first, and then took people to the outer hall.

Zhu Chanyi had just come in and before she could sit down, she saw the Crown Princess coming out. She hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Su Xinyi smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite, just take a seat."

Zhu Chanyi sat down with a smile, and Forsythia led the palace people to serve tea, and then withdrew and stood guard outside the palace gate.

Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and smiled: "I was shocked when I saw your post. You suddenly wrote me a post. Did something happen to you?"

Su Xinyi was worried that Zhu Chanyi was in trouble because of what happened last time.

When Zhu Chanyi heard Su Xinyi ask, she looked at her and said, "I knew that Xu Yurong was missing, so I went to find Mrs. Andinghou for information."

Su Xinyi didn't expect Zhu Chanyi to do these things, and was a little surprised for a moment.

Zhu Chanyi didn't pay attention to Su Xinyi's expression, and continued: "Mrs. Anding Hou doesn't know where Xu Yurong went this time, but I think there is a place she accidentally mentioned that may be of some use."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up. She knew that the Ministry of Punishment would also ask Mrs. Andinghou, but she couldn't get any useful information.

Zhu Chanyi has already said what Mrs. Andinghou said, and there is no other useful information. Moreover, Mrs. Andinghou went to the Ministry of Punishment and would not lie. After all, it was about her own wealth and life.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chanyi asked for some useful news. She looked at her and asked, "What news is it?"

Zhu Chanyi looked at the concerned look in the Crown Princess's eyes and knew that she was right, so she said directly: "When Madam Andinghou was talking to me, she accidentally mentioned that Xu Yurong once mentioned the place name Suizhou, so I Zuo asked casually, and Mrs. Anding Hou only said that she heard from the girl next to Xu Yurong that Xu Yurong liked jewelry from Suizhou, and before going to Yuling Temple, he liked to buy jewelry stores owned by Suizhou people."

Suizhou?

Su Xinyi didn't have much impression of Suizhou. Suizhou was a bit unfamiliar to her because she had never interacted with people or things in Suizhou in her previous life, so she knew nothing about Suizhou.

Naturally, they have never met each other in this life. She only knows that Suizhou is only three hundred miles away from Huaining, and it is not very far from her eldest brother-in-law's Pingning Guard.

When she went south to Huaining, she had seen a map of the south. Suizhou was a place she had never seen before. She only remembered it because it was not far from Huaining and Pingningwei.

A cunning person like Xu Yurong would definitely not like things from one place for no reason. Besides, jewelry from Suizhou was not considered a rarity in Southern Qi. The price of jewelry from Suizhou was only mid-range in the capital, and few ladies from aristocratic families cared about it.

Su Xinyi thought so, and Zhu Chanyi naturally thought so too. When she expressed her thoughts, she coincided with Su Xinyi.

"Since I got such a place, I asked people to go to this shop to have a look. What do you think the result will be, Princess?"

Su Xinyi couldn't guess. Looking at Zhu Chanyi's expression, he thought about it and said, "The building is empty?"

Zhu Chanyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Crown Princess is really powerful, that's true. As soon as the news of Xu Yurong's disappearance came out, I immediately went to the Marquis Anding's Mansion. After receiving the words from Mrs. Marquis Anding, I sent someone to find the shop. But I didn’t expect that the shop was closed down, and everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiters left, so I felt very strange, and after thinking about it, I still wanted to tell the princess.”

Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "I want to thank you very much this time. The Ministry of Punishment didn't even ask, so I didn't expect to get clues from you."

Zhu Chanyi waved her hand, "Mrs. Anding Marquis will only talk about hunting grounds when she goes to the Ministry of Justice. She must be scared and anxious under such circumstances. Such things seem insignificant to her and she will not mention them."

Mrs. Anding Hou would report on her own daughter, so she would naturally not cover it up. If she didn't mention it in the Ministry of Punishment, it can only be said that she had forgotten it, or she didn't regard it as a clue.

Su Xinyi didn't expect Zhu Chanyi to be so attentive. Xu Yurong often went to the shop in Suizhou. Regardless of whether this clue was useful or not, she had to have someone inform His Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing that he could help, Zhu Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Yurong was really hard to detect when he was hiding in the dark. This time Mrs. Anding Hou came to their house, Xu Yurong might also hate their family for tipping off the news. In this way Naturally, the danger cannot be underestimated, and it is better to eradicate it as soon as possible.

"How much do you know about that shop?" Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and asked.

"No one has seen the owner of the shop. I only know that the shopkeeper is not from the capital. After asking, someone said that he has an accent from Suizhou. Moreover, this shopkeeper does not have a young family and has always lived alone in a rented house." When Zhu Chanyi said this, she looked at the Crown Princess and said, "We are in such a hurry that I don't have time to check the place he rented, so I came to tell you first."

"Okay, I will tell His Highness that you don't have to worry about this matter. Chanyi, thank you very much this time." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's all what should be done." Zhu Chanyi made the matter clear. Knowing that Su Xinyi must be busy with this matter, she immediately stood up and left.

Su Xinyi personally sent the people out and said, "When I have some free time, I'll invite you over for tea."

Zhu Chanyi smiled and agreed.

After sending the person away, Su Xinyi immediately wrote a letter to the prince and asked Zhang Jian to send someone to deliver it.

Su Xinyi took out the map and found Suizhou, then looked at Pingningwei and Huaining. The distance between these places was indeed not that far. She walked around the house a few times, and finally wrote a letter to her eldest sister.

Huaining's hometown is still far away. The eldest brother-in-law is very meticulous in his work, so it's better to ask the eldest brother-in-law to help him check it out.

After the letter was written, Su Xinyi sealed it and asked Zhan Qiao to send it to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. The Su family sent someone to deliver it to Pingning Guard Su Baiwei.

Although I only know the shopkeeper's name, which is too few clues, but there are no more clues at the moment, so I can only work hard to decipher this elder brother-in-law.

After finishing all the things, Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. She never expected that things would be so troublesome now.

I didn't expect Xu Yurong to be so tossing. I thought that after I reconciled with Shu Xuebo, I would be honest, but I didn't expect that Xu Yurong was quite capable. I just didn't know how Xu Yurong got into this line.

This is completely different from the previous life. In the previous life, Xu Yurong had been eyeing Jiang Zhongqing and wanted to marry him, so there was no marriage with Shu Xuebo, no reconciliation, and nothing about Yuling Temple, but this life has completely Different from the previous life.

Su Xinyi thought that because of her rebirth, many things had changed. Now she couldn't just rely on the experience in her previous life. Xu Yurong's incident could also be regarded as a lesson.

Yan Junchu finally came back during dinner time. The lights were on in the study. He didn't let anyone in the palace know and walked in directly.

When Su Xinyi heard the footsteps, she looked up and saw His Highness raising the bead curtain and coming in. When he saw His Highness's face, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

I just never expected that His Highness would be such an elegant young man...

Su Xinyi immediately retracted his thoughts, unable to think, unable to think.

Yan Junchu looked at his Crown Princess with wandering eyes and didn't dare to look at her. She felt funny in her heart. She might have really annoyed her. He still had a serious look on his face. He walked up to her and then slowly said: "You said it." I have already ordered people to investigate the matter, and there will be results soon."

Su Xinyi was slightly relieved after hearing this. As long as His Highness doesn't mention what happened last night, they can talk well.

When it came to business, Su Xinyi's expression immediately became serious. He looked at His Highness and said, "It has something to do with Suizhou. Your Highness, there is only one King Yi in Suizhou. Do you think this matter has anything to do with him?"

When Yan Jun first heard this, he looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Old King Yi died of illness three years ago, and King Yi who succeeded him was his eldest son."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Doesn't King Lao Yi have a direct son?"

There are direct descendants, but no direct descendants.

"Yes." Yan Junchu nodded, "It's just that King Yi's eldest son injured his leg many years ago and it was unsightly when he moved. King Yi personally petitioned his father to appoint his eldest son as the heir apparent, so he ascended the throne. Justified."

Su Xinyi became silent and became a cripple. People in the royal family always value face. It is indeed a bit reluctant for a lame person to inherit the title of King Yi.

Not to mention members of the royal family, but also ordinary famous families, if the eldest son becomes a cripple, the right to inherit will be revoked.

"What kind of person is this King Yi? Has your Highness seen him?" Su Xinyi was very unfamiliar with this King Yi, so he looked at the prince and asked directly.

Yan Junchu stepped forward and took Su Xinyi's hand, looked at her and smiled, "Let's go eat first, and let's talk slowly."

Only then did Su Xinyi think of the meal, and suddenly felt a little hungry.

The meals in the East Palace have always been rich, but Su Xinyi doesn't like extravagance. After she took over, the daily meal list was re-ordered, so at this time, there were eight dishes and one soup on the table, and the portions were not large, which was just right for the two of them. .

The two of them were half full, and Su Xinyi resumed the previous topic.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I have only met the current King Yi once. When I came to Beijing with the old King Yi to apply for a title, he seemed to be an elegant and gentle person."

These words seemed very spiritual. Su Xinyi's eyes flashed, "Looks like?"

Yan Junchu smiled when he heard Su Xinyi hit the point, "At least he didn't find anything inappropriate during his time in the capital."

Su Xinyi heard the implication of His Highness's words. The eldest son had an injured leg, and the eldest son was outstanding. In addition, with such a big event as the imperial concubine, there might be some inside story that they didn't know.

"Didn't the court check it at the beginning?" Su Xinyi looked at His Highness and asked.

"No one complains about injustice."

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, and the people did not punish the officials. Besides, what if the family was really upright?

However, now that Xu Yurong's incident happened, Su Xinyi always felt uncomfortable. He looked at His Highness and said, "When Huaining's hometown finds clues about the deceased, maybe there will be answers."
