341: No Victims Complain

Su Xinyi is not stupid, so she naturally cannot interfere with Prince Rong's marriage. She can lend a hand to other matters, no matter how big or small, but the marriage is not going to happen.

Su Xinyi returned to the Eastern Palace. There are many affairs in the Eastern Palace. After she dealt with some things, she had time to sit down and drink a cup of tea to relax.

Just as she took a breath, Cuique came in with a pile of cards, "Crown Princess, these are the visiting cards from the past few days."

When Su Xinyi first entered the Eastern Palace, she was very curious about the visiting cards, but now she has a headache looking at such a pile. She looked at Cuique and said, "Put it down first, is there anything important?"

"Most of them are invitations, inviting you to various banquets, and some are greetings. In addition, there is also a visiting card from Miss Zhu." Cuique picked them out in advance and handed them over when the Crown Princess reached out.

Su Xinyi opened the visiting card and scanned it. The post was very simple and didn't say anything, just wanting to come and visit her.

She knew Zhu Chanyi's personality. They had a good personal relationship. The last incident was also thanks to Zhu Chanyi's help. Thinking of this, she looked at Cuique and said, "I will write a reply. Please send it to Miss Zhu at the Zhengguo Mansion."

Su Xinyi got up and went to the study. After writing the reply, she asked Zhu Chanyi to come and talk in the afternoon.

Soon, Nanny She also came. Su Xinyi discussed with Nanny She for a long time about the Qixi Banquet, and then decided on the general matters. Cuique and Lianqiao listened on the side. Su Xinyi intended to train the two. Nanny She was getting older, and it would not be so hard in a few years. By then, Cuique and Lianqiao would be able to take over.

Nanny She obviously had this intention. Now she often taught the two people in private. Nanny She also wanted them to help at the Qixi Banquet this time. Su Xinyi naturally agreed.

The prince did not return to the East Palace after lunch. Su Xinyi was used to him being so busy and always having things to do. After lunch, she did not rest and went directly to the study.

She took out the map of the Tatar tribes. There was no news from the caravan this time. The trip would take longer than the last time. She had scolded Prince Rong before, and it was estimated that Prince Rong would not want to see her in the short term. She took the map back and looked at the route on it to think.

She knew that not only her, but also His Highness and His Majesty were waiting for news from the caravan. Now this caravan had already passed the clear path among the court officials, and the caravan led by Prince Rong this time was enough to attract some attention.

Su Xinyi's fingertips slid along the route the caravan had passed. If they continued to travel west along their route, it was natural that the time of travel would be longer.

She didn't know when there would be news, and she couldn't help but worry.

She was especially concerned about the safety of her two cousins. If something unexpected happened, how would she explain it to her family members in her hometown?

Su Xinyi suppressed her anxiety, put away the map carefully, and took out a book to read slowly to calm herself down.

"Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi raised her head, a little confused for a moment, and saw that the person who came in was Cuiqiao, so she asked: "What's the matter?"

"Miss Zhu is here."

Su Xinyi was startled, and subconsciously looked at the time, and then she found that it was already the beginning of the afternoon. It's been so long?

She nodded and stood up, "Please let someone in."

Su Xinyi went to the inner hall to change her clothes first, and then took people to the outer hall.

Zhu Chanyi had just come in, and before she sat down, she saw the Crown Princess coming out, and she hurried forward to greet her.

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite, sit down quickly."

Zhu Chanyi smiled and sat down, Lianqiao brought the palace servants to serve tea, and then took people back to guard outside the hall door.

Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and smiled, "I was shocked when I saw your post suddenly. You suddenly wrote to me. Did something happen to you?"

Su Xinyi was worried that Zhu Chanyi was embarrassed by the last incident.

When Zhu Chanyi heard Su Xinyi ask this, she looked at her and said, "I knew Xu Yurong was missing, so I went to find out the news from the wife of Anding Marquis."

Su Xinyi didn't expect Zhu Chanyi to do these things, and was a little surprised for a moment.

Zhu Chanyi didn't pay attention to Su Xinyi's expression, and then said, "The wife of Anding Marquis didn't know where Xu Yurong went this time, but I think a place she mentioned inadvertently may be useful."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up. She knew that the Ministry of Justice would definitely ask the wife of Anding Marquis, but she didn't get any useful information.

Zhu Chanyi had already said what the wife of Anding Marquis said, and there was no other useful information. Moreover, the wife of Anding Marquis would not lie when she went to the Ministry of Justice. After all, it was about her life and property.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chanyi asked for some useful information. She looked at her and asked, "What is the news?"

Zhu Chanyi saw the concerned look of the Crown Princess and knew that she was not wrong, so she said directly, "When Madam Anding Hou was talking to me, she mentioned that Xu Yurong had mentioned the place name of Suizhou. I pretended to ask casually, and Madam Anding Hou only said that she heard the maid next to Xu Yurong say that Xu Yurong liked the jewelry in Suizhou, and before going to Yuling Temple, she liked to go to the jewelry store opened by people in Suizhou to buy things."

Suzhou?

Su Xinyi didn't have much impression. Suizhou was a little strange to her, because she had never had any intersection with people or things in Suizhou in her previous life, and she had no idea about Suizhou.

Naturally, there was no intersection in this life. She only knew that Suizhou was only 300 miles away from Huaining, and not far from her eldest brother-in-law's Pingning Guard.

When she went south to Huaining, she had seen a map of the south. Suizhou was a place she had never forgotten. She only remembered it because it was not far from Huaining and Pingningwei.

A cunning person like Xu Yurong would definitely not like things from one place for no reason. Besides, jewelry from Suizhou was not considered a rarity in Southern Qi. The price of jewelry from Suizhou was only mid-range in the capital, and few ladies from aristocratic families cared about it.

Su Xinyi thought so, and Zhu Chanyi naturally thought so too. When she expressed her thoughts, she coincided with Su Xinyi.

"Since I got such a place, I asked people to go to this shop to have a look. What do you think the result will be, Princess?"

Su Xinyi was not easy to guess. Looking at Zhu Chanyi's expression, he thought about it and said, "The building is empty?"

Zhu Chanyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Crown Princess is really powerful, that's true. As soon as the news of Xu Yurong's disappearance came out, I immediately went to the Marquis Anding's Mansion. After receiving Mrs. Anding's words, I sent someone to find the shop. But I didn't expect that the shop was closed down, and everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiters left. I felt very strange, and after much thought, I still wanted to tell the princess. "

Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "I want to thank you very much this time. The Ministry of Punishment didn't even ask, so I didn't expect to get clues from you."

Zhu Chanyi waved her hand, "Mrs. Anding Marquis will only talk about hunting grounds when she goes to the Ministry of Justice. She must be scared and anxious under such circumstances. Such things seem insignificant to her and she will not mention them."

Mrs. Anding Hou would report on her own daughter, so she would not cover it up. If she didn't mention it in the Ministry of Punishment, it can only be said that she had forgotten it, or she didn't regard it as a clue.

Su Xinyi also didn't expect Zhu Chanyi to be so attentive. Xu Yurong often went to the shop in Suizhou. Regardless of whether this clue was useful or not, she had to have someone inform His Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing that he could help, Zhu Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Yurong was really hard to detect when he was hiding in the dark. This time Mrs. Anding Hou came to their house, Xu Yurong might also hate their family for tipping off the news. In this way Naturally, the danger cannot be underestimated, and it is better to eradicate it as soon as possible.

"How much do you know about that shop?" Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and asked.

"No one has ever met the owner of the shop. I only know that the shopkeeper is not from the capital. After asking, someone said that he has an accent from Suizhou. Moreover, this shopkeeper does not have a young family and has always lived alone in a rented house." When Zhu Chanyi said this, she looked at the Crown Princess and said, "We are in such a hurry that I don't have time to check the place he rented, so I came to tell you first."

"Okay, I will tell His Highness that you don't have to worry about this matter. Chanyi, thank you very much this time." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's all what should be done." Zhu Chanyi made the matter clear. Knowing that Su Xinyi must be busy with this matter, he immediately stood up and left.

Su Xinyi personally sent the people out and said, "When I get some time later, I'll invite you over for tea."

Zhu Chanyi smiled and agreed.

After sending the person away, Su Xinyi immediately wrote a letter to the prince and asked Zhang Jian to send someone to deliver it.

Su Xinyi took out the map and found Suizhou, then looked at Pingningwei and Huaining. The distance between these places was indeed not that far. She walked around the house a few times, and finally wrote a letter to her eldest sister.

Huaining's hometown is still far away. The eldest brother-in-law is very careful in his work, so it's better to ask the eldest brother-in-law to help him check it out.

After the letter was written, Su Xinyi sealed it and asked Zhan Qiao to send it to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. The Su family sent someone to deliver it to Pingning Guard Su Baiwei.

Although I only know the name of the shopkeeper, this clue is really too few, but there are no more clues at the moment, so I can only work hard to decipher this elder brother-in-law.

After finishing all the things, Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, never expecting that things would be so troublesome now.

I didn't expect Xu Yurong to be so tossing. I thought that after I reconciled with Shu Xuebo, I would be honest, but I didn't expect that Xu Yurong was quite capable. I just didn't know how Xu Yurong got into this line.

This is completely different from the previous life. In the previous life, Xu Yurong had been eyeing Jiang Zhongqing and wanted to marry him, so there was no marriage with Shu Xuebo, no reconciliation, and nothing to do with Yuling Temple, but this life has completely Different from the previous life.

Su Xinyi thought that because of her rebirth, many things had changed. Now she couldn't just rely on the experience of her previous life. Xu Yurong's incident could also be regarded as a lesson.

Yan Junchu finally came back during dinner time. The lights were on in the study. He didn't let anyone in the palace know and walked in directly.

When Su Xinyi heard the footsteps, she looked up and saw His Highness raising the bead curtain and coming in. When he saw His Highness's face, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

I just never expected that His Highness would be such an elegant young man...

Su Xinyi immediately retracted his thoughts, unable to think, unable to think.

Yan Junchu looked at his princess with wandering eyes and didn't dare to look at her. She felt funny in her heart. She might have really annoyed her. He still had a serious look on his face and walked up to her. Then he slowly said, "You said it." I have already ordered people to investigate the matter, and there will be results soon."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as His Highness doesn't mention what happened last night, they can talk well.

When it came to business, Su Xinyi's expression immediately became serious. He looked at His Highness and said, "It has something to do with Suizhou. Your Highness, there is only one King Yi in Suizhou. Do you think this matter has anything to do with him?"

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and said, "The old King Yi died three years ago, and the King Yi who inherited the title is his eldest son."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Doesn't the old King Yi have a legitimate son?"

If there is a legitimate son, the legitimate son will be appointed, and if there is no legitimate son, the eldest son will be appointed.

"Yes." Yan Junchu nodded, "It's just that the eldest son of King Yi injured his leg many years ago, and his movements are unsightly. The old King Yi personally submitted a memorial to ask the emperor to appoint his eldest son as the crown prince, so he inherited the title legitimately."

Su Xinyi was silent and became a cripple. The royal family has always valued face. It is indeed a bit reluctant for a crippled person to inherit the title of King Yi.

Not to mention the royal family, even ordinary famous families, if the eldest son becomes a cripple, the right to inherit will be revoked.

"What kind of person is this King Yi, has your highness seen him?" Su Xinyi was very unfamiliar with this King Yi, so he looked at the prince and asked directly.

Yan Junchu stepped forward and held Su Xinyi's hand, looking at her and smiling, "Let's have dinner first, and then we can talk slowly."

Su Xinyi then remembered about dinner, and suddenly felt a little hungry.

The meals in the East Palace have always been rich, but Su Xinyi doesn't like to waste. After she took over, the daily meal list was re-determined, so there were eight dishes and one soup on the table at this time, and the portions were not too much, just right for two people.

The two of them ate half full, and Su Xinyi resumed the previous topic.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I have only met the current Prince Yi once, when he followed the old Prince Yi to Beijing to ask for a title. He looked gentle and gentle."

The words "look" are very spiritual. Su Xinyi's eyes flashed, "Look?"

Yan Junchu smiled when he heard Su Xinyi grasp the key point, "At least during the time he was in the capital, I didn't find anything wrong."

Su Xinyi heard the implication of the prince's words. The eldest son had a leg injury, the eldest son was outstanding, and there was a big event like inheriting the title. There might be some inside stories that they didn't know.

"Didn't the court investigate it at the time?" Su Xinyi looked at the prince and asked.

"No one complained."

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment. If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate it. What if the family is really upright?

However, now that Xu Yurong's incident happened, Su Xinyi always felt uncomfortable. She looked at His Highness and said, "When we find clues about the assassins in Huaining, maybe we will have the answer."
