Once the Crown Prince Joins In

444: Why don’t you try someone else’s trap?

Facing Ji Yun's murderous gaze, You Xiangzhe smiled provocatively. In such an occasion, Ji Yun wouldn't dare to get angry even if she gave him a hundred courages, so she just said, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yun didn't like the Crown Princess when he saw it, so why didn't he provoke the Crown Princess?

She didn't like Zhu Chanyi, so why didn't she mock Zhu Chanyi?

Tu Jingjia was upset too, why didn't he provoke her?

Doesn't Ji Yun know very well that she can't afford to offend any of these people?

In other words, she is easy to bully and has a good reputation, so she can do it to herself?

Pooh!

How can a lady from a famous family be considered a famous family like the Ji family?

You Xiangzhe took a sip of wine by herself without looking at Prince Xiang beside her. Such a man was really a loser. He was not as brave as a woman like her who had the courage to burn a boat.

So what if he likes Fu Yun? Concubine Li is bullying Fu Yun everywhere. He cannot protect the one he likes and is a coward.

She didn't want to marry Prince Xiang. She was also plotted against her at the beginning. Although the process was not honorable, she really planned to live a good life after getting married. However, she made a wrong step, and she made mistakes every step of the way.

You Xiangzhe doesn't think she is a good person, but she doesn't think she is a bad person either. She just wants to live a better life. Is it wrong?

King Xiang on the side glanced sideways at You Xiangzhe. He had been in a bad mood because he had a quarrel with Concubine Li Guifei before. Now seeing You Xiangzhe drinking all the time, he couldn't help but say, "At the banquet, Don’t be greedy for drinking. If you lose face, my mother-in-law will definitely not be able to spare you."

Hearing this, You Xiangzhe turned her head and looked at the man she married. She showed a cute smile and said softly: "What the prince said is true. I know it in my heart and will not embarrass the prince."

Prince Xiang's face softened slightly and he relaxed, but then he listened to You Xiangzhe slowly say, "What's the use of me trying to gain face for the prince? Everyone in the capital knows about Aunt Fu's affairs, but the prince needs to think of something to do it." good."

King Xiang:......

After You Xiangzhe said this, he looked at Prince Xiang's face, his smile became sweeter, and he lowered his head and took another sip of wine.

If everyone looks down on her, then everyone will not have a good time.

The marriage was given by the emperor, so even if Concubine Li didn't like her, she couldn't divorce her. No matter how much Prince Xiang didn't like her, she was still a concubine, so she could just settle down first.

Whether others are happy or not is none of her business.

Su Xinyi could feel that this year's banquet was very different from last year. She was very cautious throughout the whole process and waited until the banquet was over. After the empress left, she followed the prince.

On the way back to the East Palace, Yan Junchu said to Su Xinyi: "I have asked people to interrogate the palace maid's matter. I will tell you if I have any news."

Su Xinyi did not expect His Highness to move so quickly. She originally thought that she would go back to the East Palace to ask questions after the banquet was over, so she looked at His Highness and said, "That would save trouble. This kind of petty trouble is just asking questions." It won’t be a big deal if you come out, it’s just annoying.”

"Then you have to ask clearly." Yan Junchu's eyes turned cold. Today he dared to use tricks to sprinkle water on his skirt. Who knows what he will do tomorrow.

The couple returned to the East Palace. After getting familiar with changing clothes, Zhang Jian responded.

When Yan Junchu went out to meet people, Su Xinyi undressed her hair in the inner hall and looked at her face in the mirror. Under the light, her brows and eyes were somewhat gentle.

She smiled. The only regret was that she couldn't say a few words to her aunt and mother this year, but she would see them again soon.

Yan Junchu came back quickly. Xin Yi looked up at him and said with a smile: "Did you ask?"

Yan Junchu nodded, "The palace maid was originally a sweeper in the imperial garden. This year, a group of palace servants were released from the palace, so she was transferred to work as an errand."

Su Xinyi nodded, "It turned out to be a palace servant who was acting as a rough messenger. Who was she under the instructions of?"

The palace servants in the palace are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The palace servants who are rough are the lowest, and those who usually do the most work have the least monthly salary, and they will also be bullied.

Such people, after being bullied for a long time, will gradually turn to others in order to survive or be easily bribed.

"Zhang Jian, who was originally a steward of the Royal Garden, has already continued to investigate." After Yan Junchu finished speaking, he looked at Xin Yi, "There are no results today. Let's take a rest early. Let's talk tomorrow."

Su Xinyi was indeed a little tired. The couple entered the bedroom, lowered the curtain and lay down. Delphinium led the palace attendants and turned off the lights and quietly exited.

Su Xinyi was not sleepy for a moment. She turned half sideways and whispered to the prince: "I just got the news today. The concubine sent by Concubine Ruan Ming to King Wu is pregnant. She is two months old, but the news was only released today. ."

When Yan Jun first heard this, he turned sideways and looked at Xin Yi, "So what?"

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment by the question, and then became happy, "His Highness asked, and I suddenly didn't know how to respond. Also, there is actually no difference in your eyes, but it is different in the eyes of women."

Yan Junchu said, "Then tell me what's the difference."

"Isn't this quite simple? Ji Yun is the daughter-in-law whom the King of Wu personally proposed to marry. It turns out that Ji Yun is not pregnant yet, but my concubine has good news first. The news spread one by one today, and Ji Yun's face is considered to be No more." Su Xinyi said.

At the beginning, Ji Yun always had a sense of superiority among the royal sisters-in-law, because she was King Wu's favorite, and the other princesses were all by marriage.

Now this slap was really harsh. Something had happened to the Ji family, and as a result, her status in Prince Wu's Mansion became a joke.

When Yan Jun heard this, he said: "The King of Wu has been very generous to the Ji family, but the Ji family and the Ji family are ungrateful and dare to collude with King Yi in private. Isn't this asking for trouble? Besides, after Ji Gang was arrested, the Ji family You have no face, let alone any dignity.”

Respect is earned by herself. She doesn't know how to protect her own face. How can she blame others for not giving her face?

When Su Xinyi heard His Highness say this, he strangely felt that it made some sense.

Thinking about it from another angle, if Ji Yun married Queen Wu and could live a good life with King Wu through his original relationship, how could Concubine Ruan Ming send her to King Wu's Mansion? Since he didn't give it away, there would be no pregnancy for the concubine. It was indeed Ji Yun who asked for trouble in the beginning.

"Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow." Yan Junchu took the person into his arms, "You don't have to worry about the matters in Prince Wu's house. After Ji Gang's treatment is over, I guess there will be some movement from Concubine Ruan Ming."

Su Xinyi nestled in His Highness's arms and asked, "Can the King of Wu still be allowed to divorce his wife?"

Yan Junchu smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."

Su Xinyi knew that His Highness did not want to talk about the concubine and others behind their backs, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Before dawn, there was movement outside. Su Xinyi opened her eyes and saw that His Highness was not moving either. He was half-relying on a soft pillow and reading a book. When he raised his head, Yan Junchu put down the book in his hand.

"woke up?"

"Why so early?" Su Xinyi sat up and asked.

"Zhang Jian sent me the news. When I saw that the time was almost up, I simply didn't go back to sleep." Yan Junchu said and stood up, reaching out to support Xin Yi.

Xin Yi Zhuo pulled on his shoes and put on his outer clothes, "What did Mr. Zhang say?"

"The steward of the Royal Garden admitted that the Zhaoyu Palace asked him to do it."

"Concubine Li?"

Yan Junchu nodded, "What do you want to do about this matter?"

Su Xinyi followed His Highness out and said as he walked, "Is there any evidence?"

"The steward admitted that someone from Zhaoyu Palace asked him to do it, but there is no specific evidence from Zhaoyu Palace. The only thing that can be identified is that the person who sent him the message and handed over the money was a third-class eunuch in charge of Zhaoyu Palace. However, that The eunuch in charge was released before the New Year's banquet. If you want to get him back, you have to go back to his hometown to get someone, and you have to wait for some time."

Su Xinyi listened and said: "Your Highness, what do you think?"

Yan Junchu shook his head, "It's hard to say. There are two possibilities. Let's go get the person. It's very likely that the person died suddenly or disappeared. If it was done by the Li family, Master Li would definitely wipe out the evidence. The other one It is possible that the Zhaoyu Palace did not know about it, and it is also possible that this matter was deliberately framed by others, otherwise the eunuch in charge would not have been released just before the New Year's Eve banquet."

Su Xinyi thought it made sense, "Will this matter still be investigated?"

Yan Junchu looked at Xin Yi, "What do you want to do?"

Su Xinyi sat in front of the bronze mirror, combing her makeup and combing her hair with a jade comb. Forsythia behind her quickly took it and combed the princess's hair. She looked sideways at His Highness and said, "It's just to antagonize me, and there is no bigger move. Firstly, it's because I'm good at martial arts, and it's not easy to plot my life. Secondly, it's possible that you deliberately provoked me. I thought that with my temper I would make the matter bigger, so if I continue to investigate, I can easily find the Zhaoyu Palace, and then I and Concubine Li will be on the same page."

Yan Junchu nodded slightly, but did not speak, but listened to Xin Yi's words.

"Such a method is not clever, but because it is properly arranged, it has some merits." Su Xinyi said thoughtfully, "As long as I refuse to swallow this breath, things will not calm down and will naturally cause trouble. In this way, a situation of watching the fire from the other side can be formed. I tend to keep Zhaoyu Palace unaware of this matter. This kind of handwriting and planning are in line with King Yi's temperament in doing things."

Yan Junchu was happy. The two of them were talking and acting more and more alike now. "I think so too. In this case, I'll mention it to King Xiang and let him check it out."

"Your Highness is going to let Prince Xiang and Prince Yi confront each other?" Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "It's not impossible. I guess Prince Xiang may not have known about the private deal between Taishi Li and Prince Yi at the beginning. If this matter can be revealed, King Yi, coupled with Fuyun's incident, the mother and son, King Xiang and Concubine Li, may have another dispute."

"Then let's do it." Yan Junchu said immediately. He was familiar with killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Whose sword is not borrowed, King Xiang has the better one.

Su Xinyi let out a "tsk" in her heart, now it was exciting.

Now that King Yi was at a disadvantage, he still thought of these dirty tricks. It seemed that he still refused to give up and wanted to struggle.

He thought that he would have a chance to relax if he had a fight with Concubine Li?

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi looked at Yan Junchu, "Your Highness, King Yi's hand can actually reach into the palace?"

Yan Junchu shook his head, "That's not possible. He should have taken another route. Zhang Jian is investigating."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. It would be scary if King Yi could reach into the harem.

The two had a simple breakfast. Yan Junchu had to go to see Prince Xiang, Su Xinyi had to go to Yuanhui Palace, and the two couples left separately.

Su Xinyi first took care of the trivial matters in the East Palace, then set off and entered the gate of Yuanhui Palace at the right moment.

Aunt Zhao immediately came forward and said, "Old slave, I have seen the Crown Princess."

"Mommy, get up quickly." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Aunt Zhao stood up, took a step back from the Crown Princess, and said with a smile: "Princess Rong has just arrived. It's a coincidence that she can talk to the Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi smiled and said: "Then it's a coincidence that I came here. Is the queen still busy at the moment?"

Aunt Zhao said softly, "The imperial concubine arrived early in the morning."

Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and Aunt Zhao followed and said: "Princess, please go to the side hall to rest first."

Su Xinyi understood that Concubine Li must be saying something unpleasant to the Queen. Aunt Zhao was kindly reminding her not to get involved.

She immediately turned around, smiled at Aunt Zhao and said, "Thank you, Auntie, I just have something to tell my seventh brother and sister."

"Princess Rong always said to the empress, please take care of me on weekdays."

"My seventh brother and sister also helped me a lot. They are what they should do. The whole family takes care of each other, regardless of each other."

Aunt Zhao felt relieved when she heard this. She felt more and more that the most correct thing the Queen had done in the past two years was to choose this marriage for the prince.

Su Xinyi followed Aunt Zhao into the side hall, and Zhu Chanyi was indeed sitting inside. When he saw her, he stood up to greet her, and Aunt Zhao took advantage of the situation to leave.

The two entered the hall and sat down to talk. Zhu Chanyi glanced in the direction of the main hall and lowered her voice and said, "I heard Concubine Li's voice before, and I don't know what she was talking about."

"Mama Zhao said that Concubine Li came to see the Queen Mother early in the morning. It seems that something big is really going on."

As Su Xinyi said this, she thought that if Zhu Chanyi could hear some sounds, it could be seen that Concubine Li and the Empress must have had a dispute.

I just don’t know what’s going on so early in the morning.

The two of them couldn't guess it now, so Zhu Chanyi simply asked about yesterday's incident, "How is the matter with the little palace maid? Have you found out?"

When Su Xinyi explained the matter, Zhu Chan's face turned dark, "Why is this King Yi everywhere? His hands are too long."

Before Su Xinyi opened her mouth, she heard Zhu Chanyi say something immediately, "Hey, if that's the case, will the Li family fall out with King Yi if they find out? Apart from the eldest son, what Taishi Li cares about most is Concubine Li Guifei. I have a daughter, King Yi wants to take advantage of Concubine Li."

Su Xinyi couldn't say much, so he thought for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness said that this matter involves the inner palace, so he should inform King Xiang first. As for what King Xiang does, it's up to him."

Zhu Chanyi's eyes lit up, "That's going to be lively. Fuyun hasn't said he's getting out of King Yi's case yet. I heard that the Ministry of Punishment is going to interrogate Fuyun again. You said that King Xiang's face is like this for the second time. He was pressed to the ground and this happened again, who can handle it?"

King Yi should be tricked by someone else. King Xiang is also pitiful. Master Li still holds his nose and cooperates with King Yi for the sake of Li Ji. It's really...

King Xiang is miserable.
