Once the Crown Prince Joins In

408: Killing without a knife

The queen heard the unfinished meaning in Su Xinyi's words. She didn't care about the face of Guangping County Prince's Palace, but what she wanted to protect was her own face as the queen.

The queen did not approve of this marriage at first. Although her sister had vowed to do so at the beginning, how could she still know the temperament of her family?

It's a pity that she always takes chances. What if the Jiang family is really willing to marry Qiong Si?

Later, after a period of time, there was no movement from the Jiang family, and the queen felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhongnian broke his leg first. When this happened, her heart skipped a beat and she felt vaguely bad. But the matter had reached this stage, and the Princess of Guangping County and Yan Qiongsi were outside the palace again, so she couldn't keep up with her all the time. Staring at people.

Unexpectedly, Master Jiang turned around and made such a move, directly bringing the matter to the forefront of the imperial court.

Su Xinyi was right, His Majesty should leave such matters to her, but His Majesty did not do so, which was a warning to her.

The queen felt bitter in her heart, but she was also a little lucky now that the matter fell into the hands of Su Xinyi. If His Majesty did not take into account the friendship for so many years and directly let Concubine Li take over, how would she, the queen, live in this palace in the future if she loses her face?

The more the queen thought about it, the more irritated she became. She had warned her several times before, but her sister and niece couldn't listen to anything. Now she is even being dragged down.

The queen knew that Su Xinyi had her own selfish motives, but her selfish motives could still take into account her face. The queen knew that she could not ask for more, otherwise her relationship with the East Palace would be ruined.

Su Xinyi was not in a hurry. The longer the Queen remained silent, the more controllable the matter was. He was afraid that the Queen would directly defend Yan Qiongsi without distinguishing right from wrong. That would be the worst result.

Su Xinyi hadn't finished a cup of bird's nest soup when she heard the queen say: "Besides canceling the engagement, does your Majesty have any other instructions?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "Father didn't mention anything else."

Su Xinyi looked at the queen with a calm look on her face. She didn't know who the suppressed anger in her eyes was for, but it had nothing to do with her. She thought about it and reminded the queen, "Mother, this marriage was definitely done by me. I feel a little strange, how could Princess Runyi suddenly value Young Master Jiang? Logically speaking, the marriage of a man and a woman should not be done in such a hurry. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Could it be that the Princess has been bewitched by someone?"

The queen raised her eyebrows, "Did you hear something?"

Su Xinyi shook her head, "That's not true. As you know, Princess Runyi and I have had a few encounters. To be honest with my daughter-in-law, Second Young Master Jiang may not be what the princess likes."

The queen's heart skipped a beat. She was sure that Su Xinyi knew something, but she couldn't say it.

Either she didn't have enough evidence, or she was worried about her relationship with Jones.

Thinking of this, the Queen did not embarrass Su Xinyi. She looked at her and said: "I am very happy that you can come and talk to me about this matter today. No matter what, I will definitely let you deal with this matter in front of His Majesty. There is just one thing. Things, I hope you can also accomplish."

"Mother, what you said is serious. If you ask me something, my daughter-in-law will definitely do whatever she can."

The queen sighed, "It's useless to talk about the right and wrong of this marriage. Now there is still room for redemption. I just thought that since I want to break off the engagement, I have to be decent."

Su Xinyi glanced at the queen. At this point, the queen was still thinking about Yan Qiongsi and wanted to preserve her reputation. She was really deeply affectionate towards her.

Su Xinyi didn't want to have any dispute with the queen about this matter, so she said with a smile: "What the queen mother said is that it is best to get together and stay apart, and it is best for men and women to marry independently. Over at the Jiang family, the daughter-in-law will see if she can Meet with Mrs. Jiang and discuss the matter properly. At the Guangping County Prince's Palace, the daughter-in-law can only shamelessly ask the queen to come forward."

How could the queen not agree? If Su Xinyi came to visit her, Yan Qiongsi and her might get into trouble. If Su Xinyi couldn't deal with it, she would suffer as well.

"Don't worry about the Guangping County Prince's Mansion. I'll handle it. You should worry about the Jiang family."

Su Xinyi came out of Yuanhui Palace and walked back with Forsythia. After walking a few steps, Forsythia looked around and saw no one around, then she said softly: "Princess, Princess Runyi is really lucky."

If such a big thing happens, the queen will take care of the aftermath.

When Su Xinyi heard this, he couldn't help but think of his previous life, and said faintly: "Yes, some people are just blessed by nature."

She died early in her last life, and she didn't know what happened to Yan Qiongsi, but she didn't really want to know whether her life was good or bad. She had no interest in this life.

After returning to the East Palace, Su Xinyi asked Nanny She to go to the Jiang Mansion and asked Mrs. Jiang to come to the East Palace tomorrow.

After taking off all his formal clothes and changing into regular clothes, before entering the bedroom to rest, Delphinium came in and said, "Princess, the young man in front of the third master has sent a letter."

Su Xinyi reached out and took it, "What else did you say?"

"He is waiting for your reply. He said that the third master asked him to take the letter back."

Su Xinyi looked stern, reached out and tore open the envelope, sat down and looked up.

Su Xinyi looked a little solemn after reading a few lines. The third master said that he followed Chuncao to search Wantong Tea House and found a woman who looked like Xu Yurong, but her face was somewhat similar, but she was not sure.

Xu Yurong...

There was no news about her for a long time since she disappeared last time. Sanbo suddenly said that someone looked like Xu Yurong. She pursed her lips. Chuncao was related to Wantong Tea House. Wantong Tea House was probably related to King Yi. If this It wouldn't be so strange for Xu Yurong to appear again.

If it's just a resemblance...

It’s hard to say whether it’s Xu Yurong or not.

The third uncle asked her if she wanted to arrest the person for interrogation, but he was afraid of disturbing the situation and asked Su Xinyi if there were any other arrangements. If not, he would arrest the person. If there was, he would wait.

Su Xinyi held the letter and pondered. She only knew about Wantong Tea House that she was holding Chun Cao, and Chun Cao was holding the Weng family behind her back. She didn't know much about other things.

As for the connection with King Yi, it is also speculation without evidence.

Xu Yurong was a very scheming person. After she disappeared, she was never found, and now a similar person suddenly appeared...

Su Xinyi went to the study to reply to San Bo. Her letter was very simple. If San Bo had nothing else to investigate about Wantong Tea House, they would arrest people. If Wantong Tea House could still be used, then Just take it slow.

Wantong Tea House is holding the Weng family, and she feels that the third uncle must have other arrangements.

Aunt Weng...

Su Xinyi frowned. Aunt Weng was now disappointed with the Weng family, but she could not guarantee whether she would turn against the Weng family at a critical moment. She was always wary of Aunt Weng.

And Su Xixian... Su Xixian is a smart man and must know the whole story. He hasn't written a letter yet, and he doesn't know what happened.

With her pride, she was already disappointed with the Weng family, and now that something like this happened, she would be even more sad.

Su Xinyi paused with the pen in her hand and sighed in her heart, hoping that Su Xixian could think clearly.

He handed the letter to Delphinium and asked her to deliver it to the third master's servant and take it back. After thinking about it, Su Jingmo couldn't go out now that she was very close to her delivery date, so she could only ask Su Chaoyan to see Su Xixian.

However, Su Chaoyan's temper may not be able to persuade Su Xixian, so writing to her is of little use, so he can only write to Su Lanqian.

Although Su Lanqian's temperament is softer than Su Baiwei's, she is more powerful than Su Chaoyan.

Su Xinyi wrote to Su Lanqian, asking her to visit Su Xixian on her behalf and convey a message to Su Xixian to reassure her.

Su Lanqian is the eldest daughter of the second wife. Her second uncle and second aunt also value her very much. Su Qi's wedding is coming soon. Su Lanqian will definitely be more diligent when she returns to her parents' home. She knows something about the affairs in the house, so it will be better to have her come forward.

The letter was sent to Forsythia, but Grandma She came back before her.

"Princess, Mrs. Jiang said that she will come tomorrow." Grandma She said with a smile.

Su Xinyi was slightly honest, and sighed at Aunt She, "I'm afraid Mrs. Jiang's mood will not be good. Lord Jiang has reported the matter to Your Majesty. I'm afraid that all the methods prepared by Mrs. Jiang will not be used, and I have to hold it in for a while." My stomach is burning."

Aunt She comforted her and said, "Princess, since Mrs. Jiang has chosen to tell Mr. Jiang about the matter, she may not be unprepared in her heart. Mr. Jiang's temper is not like this for the first time. Even if Mrs. Jiang has grievances, she cannot be dissatisfied with you." .”

"That's true." Su Xinyi also smiled. Mrs. Jiang is the most fair person and will definitely not express her anger. But Su Xinyi knows and understands the feeling of aggrieved and helpless.

On the other side, Su Lanxi read the letter Su Xinyi gave her and sat there in a daze.

Nan Jiao looked aside and said, "Young Madam, is there any order from the Crown Princess that is embarrassing you?"

Su Lanqian shook her head, looked at Nan Jiao and said, "I just feel that Sixth Sister's temperament has become more considerate after she got married."

When Nan Jiao heard this, she smiled and said: "The Crown Princess is different now. You don't have to be careful when doing things in the palace. Not to mention others, you have to be careful about everything as the prince and young lady in the uncle's house, let alone Talk about the Crown Princess. Since it’s not something that embarrasses you, why are you still frowning?”

Su Lanxi sighed, "It's not about the fifth sister."

"Mrs. Yin is very good now. She becomes the master of the house as soon as she enters the house. You are not as comfortable as she is."

"You can't say that." Su Lanqian shook her head, "I'll go to my mother's place for a visit. You go to Yin's house to meet the fifth sister, and tell me that I'll go over and see her tomorrow."

Nanjiao was stunned, "Are you going to Yin's house?"

Suddenly, seeing the letter in the young lady's hand, it must be from the Crown Princess, Nan Jiao could not say more, "Yes, I will go right now."

"Go ahead." Su Lanqian waved her hand.

Nanjiao Fuli retreated.

Su Lanqian didn't get up for a while, but she was thinking about the day before when she returned to her parents' home. Her mother told her about Aunt Weng being cheated by the Weng family. At that time, her mother also lamented that if Aunt Weng broke up with the Weng family, she would not be able to talk to her again. If the third aunt and aunt get along harmoniously, the life of the third bedroom will be stable in the future.

However, the sixth sister's letter... asked her to visit the fifth sister to comfort her, but she was afraid that the matter here was more serious than what her mother said.

Xixian has a stronger temperament. Although she is a concubine, her third aunt has never treated her poorly in the house for so many years, nor does she use the same methods as a concubine to suppress her. In fact, her life is good.

Now, because the Weng family keeps bowing their heads, it must be very difficult for her.

It's hard for the sixth sister to still miss her, so naturally she, as an elder sister, has to go.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Sui pushed the door open and came in, looking a little tired. Su Lanxi put the letter on the table with her backhand, stood up and went to meet her, saying: "Why are you back so early today? What's wrong? This is an errand." Didn’t it go well?”

Li Sui looked at the letter on the table and asked casually, "Whose letter is it? It's not that it's not going well. Nowadays, things in the court are happening one after another. The six ministers are fighting in the court, but we people are running away in the hall. leg."

Su Lanxi couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she heard this, "Sit down and have a rest, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Li Sui was indeed a little tired, so he leaned on the soft pillow and rubbed his forehead.

Su Lanxi handed the tea cup to her husband and looked at him before replying, "Sixth Sister's letter."

"Princess?" Li Sui took a sip of tea and then spoke in surprise.

Su Lanxi nodded.

Li Sui hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Lanxi looked at her husband's expression and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with you? What happened to the East Palace?"

Li Sui shook his head, "It's nothing serious. Your Majesty summoned the Crown Princess. Because of this incident, many people secretly suspected why Your Majesty summoned the Crown Princess. Many people also asked me for information. What can I know? Besides, Even if I know, I can’t tell, let alone I don’t know.”

Your Majesty has met Sixth Sister?

Su Lanxi recalled that her sixth sister had told her to visit her fifth sister. Could it be related to this matter?

She couldn't talk about things in the East Palace without any basis, so she pretended to smile casually and said: "I don't care about your external affairs. Besides, why is it strange that His Majesty summoned the Crown Princess? The sixth sister was married to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty has designated it, and the sixth sister has received His Majesty's favor before and can return to her parents' home at will."

Li Sui smiled and said, "If you want to talk about this, more people are talking about it in private. They all say that His Majesty is too tolerant towards the Crown Princess. The Yushitai is still thinking of impeachment, but I don't know who said it. If you hand over this note, won't you be afraid that the Crown Princess will hit the door with a spear? Why did the historian forget about it in the first place? Now no one dares to act rashly."

Su Lanxi:......

Who is this person ruining Sixth Sister's reputation? Can things be the same as what happened to the Shi family back then? If the sixth sister had not come to the door, my eldest sister would have had her bones broken into pieces by the Shi family and her blood would have been sucked out. Why didn't these people say this? He is still a high-ranking member of the imperial court, and he is so talkative. "Su Lanxi was very angry.

Li Sui was also happy, "You don't even know what the outside world is saying about the Crown Princess now."

Su Lanxi had a bad feeling, "What did you say?"

Li Sui raised his eyes and looked at his wife, "Now everyone is talking about why Your Majesty chose such a marriage for the Crown Prince. He thought that the Crown Princess had a strong temper and could help the Crown Prince intimidate the courtiers. After all, the Sixth Sister's reputation has grown since she returned to Beijing. It was all caused by her own punches and kicks."

Su Lanqian's face turned dark with anger, "These mean people really don't need a knife to kill people, they just rely on their mouths!"
