317: The Prince Acts

Although the news of the miscarriage of the favored concubine in the Prince Xiang's mansion was suppressed by the Prince Xiang's mansion, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and the news still spread slowly.

Nanny She found out that the Prince Xiang entered the palace after Fu Yun's miscarriage, and his face was very ugly after he came out of Li Guifei's Zhaoyu Palace.

He speculated that the mother and son must have been unhappy because of this matter.

Su Xinyi thought that Fu Yun had to take a short confinement, and estimated that she would not toss anything during this period, and because of the miscarriage, she was afraid that the Prince Xiang would be even more dissatisfied with the beauty sent by Li Guifei.

As she expected, a few days later, the beauty was said to have offended the Prince Xiang, and was punished by the Prince Xiang to go to the farm.

The beauty from the Prince of Xiang's mansion went to the manor, but the one from the Duke's mansion did not have such a miserable end. The Third Master took her in and gave her the status of a concubine. The Third Lady held the indenture of this concubine in her hand, so she naturally did not need to be as wary of Concubine Weng as she was of Concubine Weng. The new concubine was very well-behaved in front of the Third Lady.

The Third Lady specially sent the news that the Third Master had taken in a new woman to Concubine Weng, and she must make sure that Concubine Weng had a hard time, so that she could relieve her resentment for so many years.

Su Xinyi did not say anything after knowing it. The grudge between the Third Lady and Concubine Weng had been going on for a long time, so who else could intervene?

As the days passed, the day of the prince's triumphant return soon arrived. Su Xinyi went to Yuanhui Palace to wait early in the morning. The prince would first meet His Majesty when he returned to Beijing, and then pay respects to the queen. She would be able to see the prince at the queen's place.

The queen saw that Su Xinyi came earlier than usual today, and did not tease her. Instead, she said sadly: "I don't know when Prince Rong will be back."

She also missed her son. When he was in front of her, she felt upset when she saw him. He jumped up and down and was disobedient. She wanted to beat him out with a stick.

Now that he really left, she hadn't seen him for a long time, and her heart was getting deeper and deeper. After all, he was her own child, how could she not miss him.

Su Xinyi sat in Yuanhui Palace, listening to the palace servants talking back and forth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the city gate."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the palace."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is meeting His Majesty."

Su Xinyi's heart beat up and down, and she wished she could grow wings and fly out to see.

The meeting with His Majesty took much longer than expected, and the expression on the queen's face gradually became solemn. Su Xinyi's heart also sank slightly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and for the first time they thought in unison, could something have happened in the previous dynasty?

The queen asked her people to go to the front to see what was going on. As usual, the prince should come to Yuanhui Palace to pay respects.

Soon, Yun Yan came back and saluted the queen. Her face was a little pale. She said softly: "Before I approached the Purple Palace, I saw that there were more guards in front than usual, and they all looked serious and difficult to get along with. I didn't dare to go there rashly, so I went to ask the apprentice of General Manager Hu. Then I heard that His Majesty was furious, and I didn't know anything else."

Furious?

Su Xinyi seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became a little gloomy.

The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said: "It seems that the prince will not have time to pay respects to the harem today."

Su Xinyi had the same guess as the queen. After returning to Beijing, the King of Wu reported the empty granary, but the emperor had kept it in his heart and did not send it out. In addition to the traitor in Zhangping Prefecture, I am afraid that His Majesty is waiting for the day when the prince returns to Beijing to explode.

Su Xinyi was very worried, wondering if His Majesty's actions would implicate the prince.

The queen saw that Su Xinyi was worried, but she was not in a good mood either. Not to mention the traitor, the granary issue was handled by her son. In short, the prince and Prince Rong were on the same boat.

"You go back first. I estimate that it will be very late after the meeting in the front hall, and the prince will go back to the East Palace directly. You and your wife will come together tomorrow." The queen said.

She didn't want them to come, but if she didn't come, people would inevitably criticize the prince.

If the queen had been eager before, but now it's not possible. If the prince is not good, it means that her son is not good.

Su Xinyi couldn't sit still, so she stood up and smiled, "Thank you, mother, I will come again tomorrow."

"Go." The queen waved her hand. Instead of staring at Su Xinyi here, it would be better to go back to their own palaces.

Su Xinyi didn't want to stay in the harem and wanted to go back to the East Palace directly, but sometimes you don't want to do something but you encounter something. Who would have thought that she would meet King Xiang in the harem at this moment.

The two walked face to face.

King Xiang was wearing a prince's crown and clothes today. His handsome face was less smiling and more stern, but the moment he saw Su Xinyi, his expression changed immediately.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Su Xinyi looked at King Xiang's smiling face and felt horrified at this moment. Even though she had lived two lives, she still saw someone's face change so much.

"It turned out to be my ninth brother. Are you going to see the imperial concubine?" Su Xinyi insisted on not changing her color, as if she didn't notice his change of face at all, and greeted him as usual.

King Xiang's eyes swept over Su Xinyi's face, looking at her relaxed face and smiling eyes. This relaxed look of the Crown Princess was completely different from her outside the palace.

"Yes, I'm going to the palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Consort. Is my sister-in-law going back?" King Xiang asked with concern, "My brother is answering in the front hall. Isn't my sister-in-law waiting for him?"

Su Xinyi didn't know what King Xiang's words meant. If he knew the situation in the front hall and said this, he must have the intention to pry into himself. If he doesn't know to say this, this is real concern.

However, she thinks it's the former.

Su Xinyi spoke slowly, still with a gentle smile, "His Royal Highness is still busy in the front hall. I'm afraid he won't have time to spare for a while. The queen mother asked me to help prepare for the summer banquet. It's just these few days. I have an errand." There are so many people, where can I relax?”

Su Xinyi spoke after careful consideration, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why she returned to the East Palace to bring up the matter of the summer banquet. This excuse was enough.

When King Xiang heard this, he chuckled and said, "Those who are capable work hard. Sister-in-law has worked hard, so I will not disturb her to do her business."

Prince Xiang said as he stepped aside to get out of the way. Su Xinyi nodded slightly at him before lifting his feet and leaving.

Su Xinyi walked forward without looking back, but she could feel a line of sight staring at her. Gee, Prince Xiang was really suspicious.

Since King Xiang said in front of Su Xinyi that he was going to pay respects to the queen, it was inevitable that he would fall into the trap, so he went to Yuanhui Palace first, and then went to Zhaoyu Palace after coming out of Yuanhui Palace.

Concubine Li had been very angry these days and was feeling a little uncomfortable. She was drinking the decoction prescribed to her by the Imperial Hospital to soothe the liver and regulate qi. When her son came in, her face became even more foul-smelling.

Prince Xiang glanced at the people in the palace, and Concubine Li waved her hands in annoyance, "Everyone, please step aside."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace servants filed out.

Prince Xiang looked at his mother and concubine and sighed, "Are you feeling better?"

"Fortunately, I didn't get mad to death." Concubine Li gritted her teeth and said.

Prince Xiang then said softly: "Concubine, Fuyun has saved my life. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be able to see your son. And she has a gentle temper. Even if you pressed down the side concubine's fold, she wouldn't say a word." Never said that."

Concubine Li's face became even more ugly when she heard her son say good things for Fu Yun, "A fisherman girl, do you have any way to repay your kindness? No matter whether it's gold, silver, official position, fields and floors, she doesn't want any of these. You said she has no ambitions if you want to commit yourself to her? I tell you, your mother-in-law’s eyes have been seen many times in the harem, and I can see through her at a glance. "

"Mother, I don't want to quarrel with you because of this matter. It has already happened and the child is gone. Let this matter go as it is." King Xiang did not want to continue to be entangled with you because of this matter. "The imperial doctor said that this time Fuyun’s miscarriage damaged her foundation, and it will not be easy to have children in the future.”

Concubine Li didn't even frown, "I don't care about the child she gave birth to. I'm only waiting for the child born to your decent wife."

With such a scheming mother, who knows how the children born will be raised. Concubine Li hated Fuyun so much that she naturally did not look forward to the children she gave birth to. She even did not want to see the children born in her belly. One glance.

Can’t give birth in the future?

This was good news, and Concubine Li's face relaxed a little.

If a woman has no children, she will definitely live with her tail between her legs in Prince Xiang's Mansion. Let's see how arrogant she will be in the future.

When King Xiang heard his mother-in-law's emotionless words, the anger on his face could no longer be suppressed. He stood up, looked at his mother-in-law and said, "I know you don't like Fuyun, but Firstly, she is my lifesaver. Secondly, this miscarriage makes it extremely difficult for her to get pregnant. In short, my son feels guilty for marrying her. I have promised her to make her a concubine as compensation. My son, I hope you can see. For the sake of the child who didn’t make it into this world, and for the sake of Fuyun’s future descendants, don’t stop it.”

Concubine Li was so angry that her face turned pale. Good guy, did she raise a son who was so carefully raised to be a love saint?

"Get lost!" Concubine Li pointed at the palace door and yelled, "Mother and Concubine have high hopes for you. Today is the time of glory for the crown prince's triumph. Instead of thinking about how to make progress, you are preoccupied with this woman's sex. If you had known that today, Fuyun should have been sent back as soon as she entered Jingben Palace!"

Concubine Li was really angry this time, her vision went dark, and she fainted immediately.

King Xiang was shocked and rushed over to help his mother and concubine up, while shouting, "Call the imperial doctor!"

On the day the prince returned to Beijing, the news that Concubine Li had fainted passed through the hands of the queen and spread throughout the country.

How could the Queen let go of such a good opportunity? After fighting with Concubine Li for so many years, she naturally knew what Concubine Li cared about most. This person cared most about reputation.

The prince returned with a great victory, but Concubine Li was so angry that she fainted. Alas, the combination of these two things makes people imagine.

Su Xinyi didn't wait for the prince to return to the East Palace, but first waited for the news from the queen. He didn't expect the queen to be so decisive this time. The timing and propriety of adding insult to injury were really wonderful.

Su Xinyi was in a good mood. She was even more curious now that Prince Xiang actually had feelings for Fuyun. This made Concubine Li faint because of her.

"Have you heard more detailed information?" Su Xinyi received unclear information from the queen, so she asked Grandma She to inquire again.

Aunt She nodded hurriedly, "I really asked this old slave to find out something. I have a friend's goddaughter who happened to go to Yuzhao Palace today to send a message, and she happened to meet her. I heard that Xiang Xiang could be heard outside the palace. The quarrel between the king and Concubine Li seemed to be about the matter of asking Aunt Fu to become a concubine."

When Su Xinyi heard this, she smiled at Aunt She and said, "I didn't realize that Prince Xiang is still an infatuated person. Last time, his request for a grant was rejected. This time, I think he wanted to raise it on the grounds of compensation for miscarriage."

"What the Crown Princess said is true. It's just that the Royal Concubine's temperament can't accept such a trick." Aunt She said with a smile.

Su Xinyi nodded. Concubine Li's life has been smooth sailing. She was favored and had children, and she was prosperous. Apart from not being in the back seat, what else dissatisfied her?

But now there is.

"But why did Prince Xiang mention this matter at this stall?" Su Xinyi still felt a little strange.

Mammy She shook her head, "I can't understand this. Your Highness is making an announcement in front of the emperor. Even if Prince Xiang didn't show up at such a juncture, he actually quarreled with Concubine Li over a woman. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will know about it?"

This is something Su Xinyi couldn't figure out.

Once you feel that King Xiang is a scheming person, you always feel that everything he does has a reason.

"Is there any movement at Prince Xiang's Mansion?"

"No, Aunt Fu has never left the house since her miscarriage that day."

"Has anyone come to visit her?"

"Not yet."

Su Xinyi looked deep in thought and couldn't think of a clue, so she could only put it down for the time being, looked at Aunt She and said, "It's better to make an appointment with Zhanqiao about Jinyu Ling'an."

"Old slave, I know." Mother She nodded, then hesitated and said: "Princess, it's not an option to keep staring like this. If they keep doing something, do they have to keep staring like this?"

Su Xinyi also knew that there was no other way. He sighed slightly and said, "There is no other way."

As long as there is a way to lure the snake out of its hole, she will not wait for it to happen.

Xu Yurong had a grudge against her, Yan Qiongsi had a bad relationship with her, and Fuyun followed King Xiang. King Xiang wanted to replace the prince, so he was naturally an enemy, so what good could happen if these three people got together?

Originally, she thought that Yan Qiongsi had shown intention to change things when he reported to her last time, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

So she was unlucky. In her previous life, she was targeted by Yan Qiongsi. In this life, she obviously didn't have much contact with Shang Junyan, but this man still stared at her.

Aunt She looked at the Crown Princess with a bad expression. After thinking about it carefully, she was right, there really was no good way to do this, so she could only continue to stare.

Seeing the golden crow falling, before the prince came back, Su Xinyi asked the dining room to boil water first, and then asked them to prepare dinner.

She guessed that the prince would definitely not finish his meal in Zichen Palace.

Before the clouds on the horizon completely set, I heard someone shouting from outside, "I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Xinyi immediately got up and walked out. Standing under the eaves, she saw Yan Junchu walking in under the afterglow of the setting sun. His handsome face was covered with stubble and his eyes were red. It looked like he had not rested for several days. good.

Su Xinyi had never seen such a miserable prince before, and she immediately felt distressed. She quickly walked down the steps and stood in front of him, "How did it happen like this?"

Yan Junchu lowered his head and stared at Xin Yi, with a look of concern on his face and uncontrollable distress in his eyes. He didn't care that there was still someone from the palace here. He stretched out his arms and hugged the person tightly, whispering in a low voice. She whispered in her ear: "Make a show."

Su Xinyi:......

This is really dedicated.

Since it was a show, Su Xinyi also had to accompany the performance. He asked someone to prepare water, while he pushed His Highness to bathe and change clothes. Then he turned around and asked people to pass on the food. For a while, the originally quiet East Palace suddenly became lively.

In front of him, Yang Jin was hanging his arms and walked out of the East Palace with such a dignified appearance, as if he was afraid that no one would see him.

Wang Ce and Huang Zhongsheng looked at his back and clicked their tongue twice, and then they entered the room. There was already a table on the table in the room. They sat opposite each other and drank a drink first.

Wang Ce said, "It's a pity that Boyan and Meng Shu are missing."

Huang Zhongsheng took a mouthful of vegetables and chewed it. "Meng Shu has to stay in Zhangping Mansion to take charge of this matter. There are still things that have not been revealed in Lu Qin's confession, at least the real person behind the scenes has not been revealed." Boyan They are not only raising food, but also secretly investigating the empty warehouse. For a while, the two of them may not be able to come back. "

"What do you mean, Your Highness? Today in the palace, there was no mention of anything related to Prince Xiang, but the Li family has some shadow in it, so it may not be impossible to make a fuss." Wang Ce said with a frown.

"You are still too impatient. If His Majesty points his sword at King Xiang, what do you think of His Majesty?" Huang Zhongsheng sneered, "His Majesty found traces of the Li family, but did not mention it in front of His Majesty. Do you think His Majesty will not see it? The more Your Highness doesn’t mention it, the more annoyed He will be.”

Wang Ce thought about it and immediately clapped his hands, "Great kindness!"

Huang Zhongsheng glanced at his friend and said, "On my way back, I heard that Prince Xiang and Concubine Li, mother and son, have been having a lot of troubles during this period. This is quite interesting."

"Call Mr. Zhang and ask, he will definitely know more." Wang Ce immediately called his chief attendant and asked him to invite Zhang Jian.

Not to mention how Zhang Jian told the two adults about Prince Xiang and Concubine Li, Su Xinyi and other princes changed into regular clothes and came out. They had dinner with him first. After the meal was finished, they saw that His Highness looked better. , and then spoke to him.

Su Xinyi asked: "Why does Your Highness suddenly want to act?"

Yan Junchu felt a little better now that he had food in his belly. Looking at Xin Yi's worried look, he said: "Zhang Jian sent someone to deliver a letter overnight and told about the matter of Prince Xiang and Concubine Li's mother and son. I think this is an opportunity."

Um?

Su Xinyi didn't know how the prince would make use of this incident, "What does your highness want to do?"

Yan Junchu held Xinyi's palm with his fingers, looked at him and said: "Lu Qin did not reveal the real person behind the scenes, only the faint clues point to the Li family. Li Ji has already fallen. My father has always favored Concubine Li, and he has the face of Li Taishi. Even if there is really a shadow of Li Yan, I am afraid he will not care this time."

Su Xinyi:?

"How could this be?" Su Xinyi didn't understand. In her heart, His Majesty is a wise monarch and would never do such a thing.
