Once the Crown Prince Joins In - #335 - 335: Arrest people
Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Wu Anhou with an indifferent expression, her eyes clearly showing her disdain. New ๐จ๐ซBook Barโ๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐๐.๐ผ๐๐
When Mrs. Wu Anhou saw Su Xinyi’s eyes like this, her heart trembled, and then she felt a little annoyed. What was she afraid of? She was also the prince’s maternal family.
Madam, do you think everyone is a fool? Su Xinyi didn’t plan to save her face anymore. Her face was really in vain.
What? Mrs. Wu Anhou looked at Su Xinyi in shock. What does this mean?
Miss You came from Luzhou and met His Majesty outside the city. What a coincidence. Later, he specially brought her into the palace to ask the Queen to allow her to attend the summer banquet, but she broke a glass at the banquet. It attracted His Majesty’s attention. What happened yesterday, Miss You had another accident, and again and again, one after another, one after another, it was either a coincidence or an accident. Do you really think that others don’t know your plan?
Mrs. Wu’an Hou’s face seemed to be burning, and then it was covered with a layer of black. She looked at Su Xinyi and said: What does the Crown Princess mean by this? I really don’t understand. I just asked the Crown Princess for your consideration. The friendship between the two families is just a word passed down from generation to generation. If the Crown Princess is unwilling to speak out, why would she have to humiliate my wife and Xiang Zhi like this?
Su Xinyi couldn’t help but sneer when he heard Mrs. Wu’anhou’s upright words, I don’t know if you believe it or not, Madam. After saying that, he glanced around and saw that there was someone in the distance. She leaned over knowingly, looked down at Mrs. Wu’anhou slightly, and said in a low voice: If you don’t know what to do, you have to do it yourself. I don’t know how the empress Wuanhou will look in the future. For the sake of her future interests, she actually wants to take advantage of her. It’s so shameless to send You Xiangzhi to the dragon bed!
Mrs. Wu’anhou:…
Su Xinyi raised her head immediately after scolding the person, the smile on her face was still warm and gentle, and walked away without waiting for the other person to retaliate, suffocating her to death.
Mrs. Wu’anhou was so angry that her vision turned black. Then she thought back to Su Xinyi’s words and felt chilled from beginning to end. If she dared to say this, the prince must also know about it.
Mrs. Wu’anhou only felt that her hands and feet were cold. Although they had never been close to the prince, they were still somewhat confident as they were the prince’s maternal family. But now that Su Xinyi dared to say such ruthless words, this meant that The prince was already very dissatisfied with the Wu’an Hou Mansion.
At this moment, Mrs. Wu Anhou only felt a cold feeling on her back, and she was so cold that she broke into a sweat.
There were people coming and going all around, and Mrs. Wu’an Hou didn’t want anyone to find out that their relationship with the prince had hit rock bottom, so she forced a smile and walked back slowly.
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. Before, they thought what would happen if Xiang Zhi entered the palace. How many sisters had entered the palace together in the past and present, and many aunts and nephews had entered the palace. So what could aunts and nephews do?
If it weren’t for the fact that the first empress was short-lived and the prince was cold-blooded, why would they go to such trouble?
Mrs. Wu Anhou became more and more angry as she thought about it, but the fear she had before slowly dissipated.
Su Xinyi was in a very happy mood after scaring Mrs. Wu Anhou. The depression from last night was relieved a lot. She met several ladies along the way, and she even went out of her way to greet them in a friendly manner.
What happened last night has long been spread throughout the camp. Today, everyone’s expressions are a bit gossipy. Even when they meet the Crown Princess, some people are trying to find out something.
Naturally, Su Xinyi would not reveal anything easily. She would always say she didn’t know anything, and no one else would dare to catch her and question her. New๐๐Book Bar๐จ๐ซ๐๐ต๐๐ .๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ
Soon, His Majesty issued an order to break camp and return to Beijing.
Su Xinyi took advantage of the time that Forsythia and the others were packing their things and went to see her aunt and mother, and happened to meet several brothers who were also there.
Su Bei looked at Su Xinyi and smiled, Sixth sister is here just in time. The things you asked to do have been arranged. Now we have to break camp and return to the capital. When there is news about the follow-up matters back to the capital, I will have someone notify Zhan Qiao.
Su Xinyi nodded, I can rest assured when third brother does what he does.
The eldest lady said from the side: I didn’t expect that what happened last night would be so involved. I have to inform your grandfather and uncle after I go back.
Thank you, dear aunt, Prince Xiang was plotted against last night. It shows that there must be a mastermind behind this. We have no idea who the enemy is right now, so we have to ask the family to be more careful. Su Xinyi said hurriedly.
The fourth lady was worried. She looked at her daughter and said softly: Your eldest brother is still in the south, and I don’t know if there will be danger. I remember you said before that King Rong would return to Beijing soon. Why is there no news yet?
If King Rong returns to Beijing, Su Yi will naturally be there soon.
Su Xinyi shook his head, I’m not sure now. I’ll ask His Highness later before telling my family.
The eldest lady heard this and looked at Su Xinyi, Your eldest brother is such an adult and knows how to take care of himself. If it is inconvenient, there is no need to ask. How can you trouble His Highness the Crown Prince with everything.
The eldest lady was worried that her mother’s family had too many things to do, which made Xin Yi lose face in front of the prince.
Soon, Delphinium came to urge her, and Su Xinyi had to say goodbye to her family and leave.
The fourth lady looked at her daughter’s back and sighed softly, and the eldest lady smiled and said: Fourth brother and sister, don’t worry. I see that Xin Yi has an opinion in his heart, and everything will be fine.
The fourth lady then said: Sister-in-law, who do you think was behind what happened last night?
The eldest lady shook her head, It’s hard to say now. This situation is a bit hard to see through.
I originally thought that Concubine Li and her son had joined forces with the Marquis of Wu’an, but now it is Prince Xiang and You Xiangzhe who are unlucky. They cannot harm themselves. There must be another hand behind this, but we don’t know who it is. .
The eldest lady is very worried. The enemy is not scary. What is scary is the invisible enemy, like a knife hanging from the top.
On the way back to Beijing, Su Xinyi did not ride a horse this time, but sat calmly in the carriage. The prince accompanied his majesty in the carriage, and the two couples looked at each other from a distance.
After entering the city, the prince escorted His Majesty back to the palace first. Su Xinyi’s carriage turned in the direction of the East Palace. The ladies from other mansions naturally went back to their respective mansions. Only a few important ministers were summoned by His Majesty to enter the palace.
It seemed that there was a hint of tension in the air. After returning to the East Palace, the tense nerves slowly eased. Su Xinyi changed into regular clothes and entered the study after a brief familiarization.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Jian came with a letter.
Su Xinyi didn’t expect that the letter was for her. The signature on the envelope made her eyes light up. She immediately opened the letter. The letter was written very simply. It was not like King Rong’s style. In the past, it would have been nagging for several pages. He was willing to give up, but now he only had one page and only wrote two things. The first was that he was about to arrive in the capital. The letter was sent two days before his departure. It was estimated that he would arrive in the capital in about two days on the road. The second thing was Talked about the current situation in Zhangping Mansion. New ๐ผ๐ฟ Book Barโ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐ก.๐๐๐
The aftermath matters were numerous, complex, and very trivial. King Rong did not claim credit this time. He only said that the new magistrate sent by the imperial court was very capable. When Su Xinyi saw the last thing, King Rong mentioned that before setting off, he took people to go outside the customs. After walking around, they couldn’t wait for Suden and others’ caravan to return to the city.
Su Xinyi sighed softly, the battle with the Tatars was all in chaos, and he didn’t know if his cousin’s caravan was affected. The situation on the grassland must have changed a lot. I hope they have a safe journey.
Fortunately, they had been heading west. As long as they were not in Tatar territory, there should be no big problem with their safety. This was the only thing Su Xinyi could comfort herself with.
Now King Rong said that their caravan has not returned to the city yet, which is good news for Su Xinyi. Not returning to the city means that they have gone very far. The further they go, the farther they are from the war. When they return to the city, , the Tatar side will not be as tense as just after the war.
Moreover, Pang Lan and Mu Xing are still there. In order to avoid risks, they may take a detour.
If you take a detour, the time will inevitably be extended.
Su Xinyi put the letter away, changed her clothes, and went to Yuanhui Palace to inform the queen.
After walking all the way with Delphinium, Su Xinyi hadn’t arrived at Yuanhui Palace yet, but on the way he saw Concubine Qi Xian coming from the Imperial Garden with a look of surprise.
Now that they have met, they have to come forward to greet them.
Concubine Qi Xian was stunned for a moment when she saw Su Xinyi, then she calmed down her expression and said with a smile, Where are you going, Crown Princess?
Su Xinyi and Concubine Qi Xian had never had much contact. They usually met at Yuanhui Palace. However, Concubine Qi Xian was paying greetings to the Queen, and Su Xinyi had not said a few words to her.
We are going to Yuanhui Palace. Su Xinyi said with a smile.
Concubine Qi Xian looked at Su Xinyi, smiled, and then said: I’m afraid it’s unlucky that the Queen is not in Yuanhui Palace at the moment.
Su Xinyi smiled when he heard this, In that case, it’s an unlucky time for me to come. Thank you, Concubine Xian, for informing me.
Concubine Qi Xian said: It’s just a matter of words, what can it do? But this hunting of the Crown Princess became a blockbuster. You are indeed very capable.
Su Xinyi couldn’t figure out what Concubine Qi Xian meant when she said this, so she humbly said, It’s just a coincidence. If Concubine Xian has nothing else to do, I will take the first step.
Concubine Qi Xian then stepped out of the way and said, Prince Concubine, please do as you please.
Su Xinyi said goodbye to Concubine Qi Xian with a smile, but did not return to the East Palace. Instead, she continued to move forward. The empress was not in Yuanhui Palace, so she left the message to Aunt Zhao.
What’s more, when Concubine Qi Xian came over from the Imperial Garden just now, she looked obviously not in a good mood. She didn’t know what happened in this short period of time.
It’s just bad luck that not only the Queen is not here, but also Aunt Zhao. When Su Xinyi saw her, she didn’t leave a message and planned to come back tomorrow.
On the other hand, Concubine Qi Xian returned to her Zhaoyang Palace with a sullen face. She got angry halfway and thought about it before turning back to Chunze Palace.
Concubine Ruan Ming did not expect that Concubine Qi Xian would come over at this time and welcome people in. Seeing that Concubine Qi Xian didn’t look well, she immediately became a little more careful and said with a smile: What’s wrong with Concubine Xian?
After Concubine Qi Xian sat down, she looked at Concubine Ruan Ming and said: People are really incomparable. You said something happened to Prince Xiang. What does it have to do with us? Didn’t I feel a little depressed when I came back from the car, so I went to the Imperial Garden? I didn’t want to meet Concubine Li, but I was scolded by her.
Concubine Ruan Ming was really shocked by these words and said: Concubine, if you are not busy with Prince Xiang’s affairs now, are you still in the mood to go to the garden?
This is unlikely, right?
Prince Xiang is the lifeblood of Concubine Li, so how could he ignore her?
After listening to Concubine Ruan Ming’s words, Concubine Qi Xian sighed, It’s not my luck. Concubine Li asked to see your majesty but your majesty refused. She turned around and called the empress. You said Concubine Li was holding back her anger. .โ
She was unlucky today. She could encounter such a thing while walking in the garden. How could she explain it?
Concubine Ruan Ming sighed after hearing this, There’s nothing we can do about it, we can’t compete.
What can’t be compared?
They both knew it well.
When they first entered the palace, they were both pretty girls and had their days of glory, but they couldn’t stand up to Concubine Li’s skills, her ability to invite favors and be a good person, so they were compared to dregs. Fortunately, the two of them were lucky, and the days of being favored did not last long. However, the pregnancy came early, and they gave birth to sons one after another. Only then could they become concubines and establish themselves in the harem.
However, although she is a concubine, she is far inferior to the favored Concubine Li and lacks confidence.
Huh. Concubine Qi Xian’s face was not so good, It’s okay if we can’t compete, but it’s hard to say for the children. At this point, she rolled her eyes and lowered her voice: You said Prince Xiang and You Xiangzhi were blocked this time In the tent, I heard that if someone is disheveled, then he should be married off, right?
Concubine Ruan Ming was startled, Marry her home? Impossible, then You Xiangzhe is just the daughter of the tea horse ambassador, how can she be Princess Xiang? One Aunt Fu in Prince Xiang’s Mansion is enough to quell Concubine Li’s anger, and another You Xiangzhe Isnโt Xiang Zhi still able to turn the world upside down?โ
After hearing Concubine Ruan Ming’s words, Concubine Qi Xian had a slightly cold smile on her face, There is a Marquis of Wu’an Mansion behind You Xiangzhi. You said that the Marquis Wu’an Mansion spent so much effort to get people here this time. She can’t squeeze in anymore, so she can’t beat the odds. I think they must keep an eye on Princess Xiang’s position.
Ruan Mingfei was silent, her mind was spinning rapidly, she paused for a while, and then slowly said: I’m afraid it’s impossible for the main concubine, but there is still hope for the side concubine.
Concubine Qi Xian pointed in the direction of the East Palace and sneered, Concubine? I’m afraid she won’t be so lucky either.
Concubine Ruan Ming was silent for a moment, and then said softly: Sister Concubine Xian is right. With Miss You’s face, it’s probably impossible. Either she is a real concubine or she doesn’t come in.
That face is very similar to that of the late empress. It would be very uncomfortable to have such a face as a concubine for Prince Xiang.
The two of them are like this, not to mention what His Majesty is thinking about in the East Palace.
I’m afraid your concubine may be in trouble this time. Concubine Qi Xian sneered.
Concubine Ruan Ming said sadly: What’s the point of fighting? It’s not as relaxing as us.
Concubine Qi Xian:…
It’s not that she doesn’t want to fight, but she doesn’t have the ability. If she has the means and family background of Concubine Li, she will naturally fight for her son.
Not only Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming are paying attention to You Xiangzhe’s whereabouts, but many people inside and outside are also paying attention.
At this time, Yan Junchu was meeting the saint.
He had some confessions in his hand, and coupled with the previous testimony provided by Mrs. Andinghou, even he himself was a little doubtful about the direction of the matter.
The more times like this, the less likely Yan Junchu will hide anything. He and his father are father and son, and they are also emperor and minister.
My son, I looked at the several pieces of evidence together and found that the matter was very subtle. I also asked my father to take a look at it. Yan Junchu presented the confession.
Hu Siyi hurriedly walked over and bent down to take it. Then he turned around and walked to His Majesty. He placed the confession on the imperial desk, then bent down and stepped aside.
The emperor did not go to get a confession, but looked at the prince, What do you think?
Yan Junchu met his father’s gaze and said without hesitation: The imperial doctor checked his pulse and found that there were indeed traces of the medicine in Jiu Di’s body, which shows that his statement is correct. He did take the drug by mistake, which made him excited for a short time and slightly lost his mind. Drugs. Under such circumstances, what he did to Miss You was beyond his control and is excusable.
The emperor lowered his head slightly and did not know what he was thinking about but did not speak.
When Yan Junchu saw him, he paused and continued, As for the source of the medicine that the ninth brother mistakenly took, according to the clues provided by Mrs. Andinghou, the matter is related to Xu Yurong, but Xu Yurong is now practicing in Yuling Temple, She is usually not allowed to go out easily. Whether this medicine came from her still needs to be summoned and interrogated. In addition, even if this thing belongs to Xu Yurong, then whose hands did she give the medicine to King Xiang, and who is the guard who showed Miss You the way? The purpose and the master behind it need to continue to be traced.
The emperor finally raised his eyes and looked at the prince, Then the guard committed suicide after being caught?
Yes, we haven’t caught him yet. I just saw someone summoning him, so he took poison and committed suicide. Yan Junchu sighed softly, Father, this man despises his own life so much, it shows that he should be trained to die.
Is this where the clue ends?
Yan Junchu nodded, Yes, if we can still find a breakthrough, we can only interrogate Xu Yurong.
The emperor suddenly said: This Xu family seems to have had some relationship with the queen?
Yes, Mrs. Xu was once the queen’s niece and nephew, Yan Junchu said.
Seeing that the emperor was still frowning, Yan Junchu added, Last time, due to the case of Liang Ju, the Shu family was also implicated in it. Mrs. Xu and Shu Xuebo reconciled, and after returning to her natal family, she was rejected and kicked out of the house. , and later Xu went to Yuling Temple to teach him how to practice.
Thinking of this old case, the emperor’s face darkened, It seems that this Xu family is indeed not a law-abiding person. Let’s arrest him for interrogation.
Once the guard who pointed the way died, all the clues were cut off. If he wanted to find the person behind the scenes, he had to arrest the person who provided the medicine. Xu Yurong couldn’t escape this time.
Yes, I will send someone to go to Yuling Temple right now. Yan Junchu responded decisively. After a slight hesitation, Taiyou looked at His Majesty and said hesitantly, Father, the matter between Ninth Brother and Miss You… There are a lot of rumors outside now, and if it cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid that the reputation of Ninth Brother will also be affected.
The emperor met the prince’s magnanimous gaze, and when he mentioned You Xiangzhe, it was as if he was talking about a stranger. The emperor slowly withdrew his gaze and said, You go and do your business, I have my own plans.
