Once the Crown Prince Joins In

425: Bending down to pretend to be a grandson

Su Xinyi knew that she could not remain silent for too long. His Majesty's attitude made her hesitate, but she could not be doubted.

Su Xinyi didn't have a good idea for a while. She originally had a plan in mind, but after feeling His Majesty's attitude, she felt that she had to make a change.

"Father, my daughter-in-law came to you for help because she didn't know what to do." Su Xinyi had no choice but to shoot. After thinking about it, His Majesty is not someone who is easy to fool, so it is better to tell the truth. "The Su family and the Ji family have no grudges or entanglements. I really don't know why Minister Ji wants to embarrass the Zhao family."

Who is behind Ji Shilang and what is his purpose? Even if Xin Yi guesses it, he can't say it now.

Your Majesty must go and investigate.

"I understand, please go back first."

"My daughter-in-law is resigning."

Su Xinyi bent down to salute, then slowly turned and left.

After she left, the emperor could no longer suppress the anger on his face and said to Hu Siyi: "Let someone go check Jigang."

Hu Siyi hurriedly bowed and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty. But, which adult should I ask to investigate?"

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Hu Siyi. Hu Siyi did not dare to ask any more questions and bent down to exit.

Your Majesty did not name him, which means that there is no need for courtiers to investigate. Without courtiers, he can only be His Majesty's personal guard.

His Majesty's personal guard Zha Jigang is trying to expose the bottom.

I don't know what was written in the letter His Royal Highness the Prince sent back to the capital before, which made His Majesty very angry these days. He is now very cautious in his work, not daring to go beyond the rules in the slightest.

After Hu Siyi stepped back, the emperor leaned back on the chair and moved his fingertips gently on the armrest.

Su Xinyi came to complain. If he didn't come earlier, he wouldn't come later. He had to come at this time, just in time to get in touch with the prince. Could it be that the two of them had discussed it?

Although it cannot be said that the granary case has been settled, it has basically been clarified.

Lu Minglin deliberately hit the tip of King Rong's knife and killed himself. He took all the blame on himself, clearly to protect King Rong.

What benefits did King Yi promise to him, so that he wouldn't even risk his life?

It was precisely because of this that he was most annoyed.

It is really unexpected that this King Yi was much more ambitious than the old King Yi, who was born as a concubine and had been dormant for many years.

The emperor's face was grave. When he let King Yi go to Suizhou, he knew that King Yi's temper was not of concern and would not cause him trouble.

Unexpectedly, he gave birth to a good son!

What Su Xinyi said still needs to be verified. If it is indeed beyond doubt, then Ji Gang's matter must be completely uprooted.

The emperor felt agitated when he thought of this, and there were waves of itching in his throat. He couldn't stop it and kept coughing.

He picked up the pills prescribed by the imperial doctor and swallowed one, and then he felt better.

And Concubine Li and the Queen...

Concubine Li has lived in harmony with the queen for many years, and has a gentle and gentle temperament, but now she has changed.

The queen, on the other hand, is still the same after all these years.

Concubine Li was beaten, and the queen said that she was deliberately provocative. No matter why, Concubine Li's move made him think deeply.

The Zichen Palace was quiet and empty. The emperor slowly stood up and walked down the steps step by step.

It has been so many years in the blink of an eye. Back then, he ascended the throne surrounded by ministers and sat on the high throne that everyone longed for. He also had great ambitions and wanted to be a wise master.

Decades have passed, and the courtiers in the court have changed one after another. There are only a few old faces left, and they are all old.

The emperor stood in front of the window. Through the window, he could see the guards in bright armor guarding outside the palace, the eunuchs running back and forth in a hurry, and the figures of courtiers could be seen in the distance.

The memorial on the desk was three feet high. The emperor had never felt tired, but now he felt a little tired.

"Your Majesty." Hu Siyi entered the palace and looked at His Majesty standing in front of the window, with a gloomy expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking. He hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "I have already sent people to investigate. According to the Crown Princess, it was a recent incident. , news should come back soon."

After Hu Siyi finished speaking, he stood there uneasily. He couldn't help but feel more and more nervous after not hearing His Majesty's voice for a long time.

At this moment, Hu Siyi heard His Majesty speak, "Hu Siyi, how much do you think the Crown Princess knows?"

Hu Siyi didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to guess at such a thing, but it concerned the prince, and given His Majesty's preference for His Royal Highness, he couldn't talk nonsense.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to speculate, but the Crown Princess has always been straightforward and always does things neatly. I think this time I encounter something like this involving Mr. Ji, I can't really come to the door with a knife, so I can only come and beg. Your Majesty."

The emperor couldn't help but smile when he heard Hu Siyi's words, "You can speak for her."

"I don't dare. I'm just telling the truth. Your Majesty, please check carefully." Hu Siyi broke out in a cold sweat. These words were really fatal.

The emperor snorted, "I don't know you yet?"

Hu Siyi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I am loyal to Your Majesty. The sun and the moon can tell you, and my loyalty can be shown to the bright moon. I naturally hope that Your Majesty will know."

The emperor glanced at Hu Siyi and then sighed, "You have been with me for decades. Tell me the truth. Do you really think the Crown Princess's actions today were rash?"

Hu Siyi felt that the soles of his feet were getting cold and he didn't dare to take a nap. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to say that, but now that the princess is pregnant, it is really not easy to come to the door with a gun. thing."

emperor:……

Too.

"That's all." The emperor waved his hand, "How is King Yi lately?"

Hu Siyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied: "Still living in seclusion. He stays in Prince Yi's Mansion all day and rarely goes out. There are not many people who visit Prince Yi's Mansion, but most of them won't meet Prince Yi."

"Have you found out the last private meeting between King Yi and Ji Gang?"

"It is indeed true, but the old slave is incompetent. Since he cannot be brought to trial, he still doesn't know what he said." Hu Siyi lowered his head and said.

"Zhu Pengzu had people kidnapped Master Minghui in an attempt to force King Yi to show up. What's going on now?"

"It didn't work out."

The emperor sneered, "Zhu Pengzu is old. He doesn't take good care of himself, but he is bossed around by a little girl. He is really promising."

Hu Siyi was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe. The little girl His Majesty spoke of was the Crown Princess, and Zhu Pengzu was also a duke with meritorious military achievements. He was also an ordinary person who led the three armies. Naturally, he would not do things easily for others.

Zhu Pengzu helped the Crown Princess, not because Zhu Pengzu supported His Highness the Crown Prince, but because his granddaughter married King Rong, and King Rong had a harmonious relationship with the Crown Prince.

But he could think about these words, but he would never dare to say them.

The emperor didn't think about what Hu Siyi could say, and ordered: "The prince is about to return to Beijing, and it should be lively. You go to Zheng Guogong's mansion and ask Zhu Pengzu to push Master Minghui out and force King Yi to show up."

"Yes, old slave, go right away." Hu Siyi agreed immediately.

Your Majesty has been holding back, just waiting for His Royal Highness to return to Beijing.

As expected, His Royal Highness is still the son whom His Majesty values ​​and trusts the most. His Majesty turned a blind eye to the things the Crown Princess did and did not say anything about it, and allowed him to add fuel to the flames.

As a result, His Majesty turned around and asked him how the Crown Princess behaved like this?

How would he answer this?

Even if you give him three lives, you won't dare to talk nonsense.

I dare not guess what His Majesty is thinking.

"Wait a moment."

Hu Siyi immediately stopped, turned around and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"

"Can Jigang still scare Su Xinyi? I think she has a lot of evil intentions. She comes to me to complain, doesn't she just want my help? I don't think she knew how to say hello to me when she was doing things before. .”

Hu Siyi did not dare to reply and bent down to pretend to be a grandson.

The emperor waved his hands angrily, "That's all. Send the previous impeachment papers to Wang Yanxiu to Wang Yanxiu."

"Yes." Hu Siyi breathed a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet. How could His Majesty be suspicious of the Crown Princess? He was clearly deliberately trying to scare people, so he relented without turning around.

However, the Crown Princess is so courageous and terrifying.

Don't you know what you did?

Back then, Fourth Master Su probably didn't have the trouble with a daughter like him.

Hu Siyi is very busy today. He has to go to Zheng Guogong's mansion for something, he has to see Prime Minister Wang, and he has to wait for the Ji family's affairs.

Okay, if the Crown Princess opens her mouth, he will have to break his legs here.

Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace and thought about His Majesty's attitude at that time, but couldn't think of anything more, so she simply gave up.

Everything that needs to be said has been said and everything that can be done has been done. His Majesty did not get angry on the spot. It seems that there must be room for maneuver.

She couldn't use any other strength and could only wait for news.

Besides, His Highness is about to return to Beijing. When His Highness comes back, she won't have to go through all the trouble to do these things.

"Princess, the Third Master from the Duke's Mansion has sent word in, and the Weng family has sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to deliver New Year's gifts."

Su Xinyi paused while changing clothes, "Sending a New Year gift? This is a bit new."

Aunt Weng became a concubine to Mr. Su, and she always felt that it was very embarrassing. She didn't have much contact with the Su family, and they were not serious marriages, so there was no such thing as giving New Year's gifts to each other.

Why are you giving New Year gifts this year?

It seems that it must be the intention of Mrs. Weng's wife. Does she want her daughter to miss her natal family and hope that the Su family will show her favor?

"What does third uncle mean?" Su Xinyi asked after changing her clothes and walking out.

Forsythia helped the Crown Princess sit down, and then she said: "The Third Master stopped me directly and didn't even let me enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion. I also told you that if the Weng family comes to see you, You don’t need to see me.”

"They still dare to come to see me?" Su Xinyi sneered, "Uncle San is worrying too much. I think they will definitely turn around and go to Aunt Weng. By the way, there is also Fifth Sister's place. You can go there immediately and take care of me." Tell her the news."

"Hey, slave, let's go now." Forsythia nodded hurriedly, "Princess, the fifth girl doesn't want to see the Weng family anymore, right?"

"It's okay if we don't meet. It has nothing to do with the Weng family, but the fifth sister has the blood of the Weng family, so it's hard for her to do it." Su Xinyi sighed, "In this case, you take a woman in charge of the East Palace and let her go there. Stay with me for a few days and wait for the Weng family to leave before coming back. If the Weng family really comes to ask for an audience, let this woman step in and stop her."

Forsythia said: "Then you will have a bad reputation."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Do you dare to publicize what the Weng family has done? Besides, even if the matter spreads, anyone with a clear sense of right and wrong will know what is going on."

"You are kind-hearted and always consider the fifth girl. I will go right now." Forsythia smiled and left.

Forsythia walked forward, and Grandma She came in with her hind legs, "Princess, Mrs. Dongli Botai wants to see you."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what she had asked Jiang Moshang to do before. Mrs. Dongli Botai was afraid that this was why she came, "Please come in quickly."

Mrs. Dongli Botai followed Mother She in. When she saw Su Xinyi, she came forward to greet her, "I have met the Crown Princess."

"There's no need to be polite, Madam. Sit down quickly." Su Xinyi asked Delphinium to help him up. He looked at Mrs. Dongli Bo's complexion and said with a smile, "Is Mrs. Madam always doing well? We haven't seen each other for a long time. See, you look good today."

Mrs. Dongli Botai smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the Crown Princess. Now our family can live in peace and stability."

"You must not say that. This is all earned by your own sincerity." Su Xinyi did not take credit.

Delphinium brought the tea, then bowed and retreated, followed by Grandma She.

Mrs. Dongli Botai raised her head and looked at the Crown Princess. She felt that the past few years had been like a dream. When the Crown Princess just returned to Beijing and came to her house as a guest, she was still the aloof and arrogant Princess Dongli.

At that time, the princess fell into the water, and she didn't take anyone to heart.

Who would have thought that a little girl who grew up in the countryside would now sit firmly in the position of the Crown Princess of the East Palace, not to mention having a child in her belly.

Moreover, their family was able to survive the disaster safely in the first place, thanks to help from others who did not forget old grudges.

"My wife is here today. I think the Crown Princess can guess why, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Mrs. Dongli Botai knew very well that the Crown Princess didn't like nonsense. "You can testify against Xu Yurong, but the evidence is insufficient." , I’m afraid it’s not convincing enough.”

"You don't need to believe everything, just expose this matter." Su Xinyi said casually.

Mrs. Dongli Botai was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly said: "That will be easy to handle. This matter is not difficult."

Su Xinyi saw that Mrs. Dongli Botai had something to say, but she didn't say anything, waiting for her to continue.

"Quanzi and I are very grateful to the Crown Princess for this support. How can we live up to the Crown Princess's hard work in doing these trivial things."

Su Xinyi understood that Mrs. Dongli Botai wanted her son to make a comeback, but she was afraid that failing to make a comeback would be embarrassing.

She thought for a while and then said: "This matter is not a trivial matter. There are traces of everything Xu Yurong did back then. The grudge between Xu Yurong and me was just the beginning in your family."

Mrs. Dongli Botai immediately understood that the revelation was not just one thing. If she was right, there would be big things behind it.

Anyway, if you get on the Crown Princess's ship, you will naturally get a lot of credit.

It's all in one fell swoop.

"I understand, then I won't disturb the Crown Princess." Mrs. Dongli Botai stood up and said goodbye, "We are waiting for your news."

The Crown Princess has the final say when to take action.
