393: Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge Su Xinyi
Chapter 392 393: Crossing the river and burning the bridge Su Xinyi
Zhu Chanyi looked at the queen and then at King Rong, and then thought about Su Xinyi's words, and her heart also aroused.
Yan Qiongsi is the Queen's beloved niece and the cousin whom King Rong has always protected. However, the relationship between Yan Qiongsi and the Crown Princess is very bad.
Now that something like this happened, the Crown Princess was on good terms with the Jiang family and would definitely be on the side of the Jiang family, but the Queen and King Rong would definitely feel more sorry for Yan Qiongsi.
As for her, of course she is on the side of the Crown Princess. With Yan Qiongsi's temperament, whoever gets it will be unlucky.
However, Zhu Chanyi cautiously did not speak. She had just married Prince Rong and had not gained the Queen's trust yet. If she helped the Crown Princess to speak, not only would she not be able to help her, but it might actually harm her.
I was anxious in my heart, but I couldn't show it on my face.
At this moment, Zhu Chanyi heard the Crown Princess speak again.
"Mother, I know that you feel sorry for Princess Runyi. Although there was some unpleasantness between the princess and I, when my brother was injured, I still accepted the princess's guidance, and all the previous grudges were gone. Besides, now, I am deeply grateful that the queen protects me like this, and I naturally hope that the princess can have a good marriage, which also relieves the queen's worries about the princess. "
Zhu Chanyi:......
I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be so good at talking. The last time they talked in private, she didn't have such affection for Yan Qiongsi. She had to learn from the Crown Princess.
Seeing that the expression on the queen's face softened, Zhu Chanyi glanced at King Rong again. Sure enough, King Rong's face looked much better.
admire.
Su Xinyi didn't know what Zhu Chanyi was thinking. She looked at the Queen seriously and then said: "But Queen Mother, think about how this marriage came about. I am now more inclined to believe that Master Jiang does not know the inside story. Mrs. Jiang Maybe he is still hiding it. Mr. Jiang has been in charge of the household department for many years, and the emperor has always trusted him. It is because of Mr. Jiang's character. If Mr. Jiang knows the truth, I think Mr. Jiang will fight for his father. Huang Qian reprimanded him angrily, but he would not let his son suffer such injustice. If it really comes to that, who do you think will be the most embarrassed? "
The queen's face stiffened slightly when she heard this. She knew her own family affairs. Of course she knew that Qiongsi's reputation in the capital was not very good now, and it was all related to Shang Junyan.
But the queen cannot be unconscionable and say that it is all Shang Junyan's fault. Now that Qiong Si and the Jiang family are engaged, the queen of the Jiang family is very satisfied, and she is even more satisfied with the second son.
She was satisfied, but she also knew that this marriage was a bit strange. Although her sister came to the palace and spoke very grandly, her son made it clear to her.
She originally thought that even if the Jiang family was suspicious, but the matter had reached this point and the two families had negotiated the marriage peacefully, the matter was considered stable.
Now that Su Xinyi said this, the queen's heart started to beat.
She had never dealt with Jiang Jun before, but she knew one thing. Being able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years showed how deep His Majesty's trust in him was.
Based on this, if the two families really got into trouble, she couldn't say how His Majesty would deal with it.
In the final analysis, the Prince of Guangping County is just an idle royal family. A few days ago, he was ordered by the emperor to reflect at home. Although the Princess of Guangping County is his sister, His Majesty will not easily engage in official favoritism before encountering a real big event.
If...if what Su Xinyi said is true, if Jiang Jun really doesn't know the inside story now, then when he learns the inside story, he will definitely fight back.
The queen had a terrible headache, a terrible headache.
She didn't understand why Jones' marriage was so twists and turns.
Moreover, Su Xinyi also told her that there seemed to be no connection between Qiong Si, Xu Yurong and Fu Yun, but Yuling Temple made her uneasy.
Not to mention the hunting grounds, this is where King Yi and Ji Shilang met. Choosing this place was frightening.
The queen's thoughts were racing, and she was a little upset for a while.
King Rong was more direct. He looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you mean Jiang Jun will object to this marriage?"
Su Xinyi knew that King Rong's thoughts were different from those of ordinary people. He was also a bit protective of his shortcomings. He probably grew up with his cousins from the Guangping County Prince's Mansion and had a deeper relationship, so even though he knew that Yan Qiongsi had done something wrong, he was still willing to do so. Dealing with her several times.
When Su Xinyi thought of this, she looked at King Rong and smiled, "Seventh brother, let me ask you, if your son wants to marry a woman who has a bad reputation and uses shady means to settle the marriage, will you do it? ? You say with conscience, if you think about it carefully, you and your seven siblings raised a son in the palm of your hand, and you wish you could give the best things in the world to your child's father. Would you be willing? "
Prince Rong's words of willingness were instantly pushed back. He glanced at his princess subconsciously and saw her staring at him with a half-smile.
At this moment, King Rong suddenly overlapped the face of his princess with the old face of Jiang Shangshu.
Both of them have bad tempers.
If...if he really made such a decision, there would probably be a turmoil in the family.
Looking at King Rong's face that was changing all the time, Su Xinyi thought that there was still hope. Although King Rong was too protective about Yan Qiongsi's matter, now that he was also a married man, he naturally had more things to do. Very scrupulous.
"Seventh brother won't agree, right?" Su Xinyi's voice became softer. "Mrs. Jiang and Lord Jiang chose the marriage for their eldest son. I think seventh brother also knows who it is. Why did they choose a family that is not an official in the court instead of the noble Jiang family in the capital? Now that the second son of Jiang has been plotted against, how can Lord Jiang let it go if he knows the truth?"
Speaking of this, Su Xinyi glanced at the queen and said meaningfully: "Besides, this marriage... Mother, it is most important to think carefully about what Princess Runyi thinks."
The queen was silent.
Prince Rong's brows tightened and he asked directly: "Do you suspect that Qiong Si has a relationship with Prince Yi?"
Zhu Chanyi was shocked. Just asked like that?
Su Xinyi glanced at Prince Rong and replied straightforwardly, "I'm not sure. My seventh brother will have to investigate this matter. If Prince Yi has nothing to do with the granary case and the assassination of the caravan, Princess Runyi has nothing to do with Prince Yi's residence. But..."
At this point, Su Xinyi sighed, without looking at Prince Rong, but turned to look at the Queen, "Mother, it was my seventh brother who took the initiative to expose the granary case and repeatedly asked my father to investigate it thoroughly. If it is really related to Prince Yi, what do you think Prince Yi will think of my seventh brother?"
Of course he hates him to death!
The Queen's expression finally stopped hesitating at this moment. When it comes to Prince Rong's safety, even Yan Qiongsi has to step back.
"Do you suspect that Prince Yi deliberately approached and used Qiongsi to retaliate against Prince Rong?" The Queen looked at Su Xinyi and asked in a deep voice.
Su Xinyi shook her head, "It's hard to say now. Your Highness is not in the capital, and my daughter-in-law is pregnant. Many things cannot be checked in person. And when Your Highness is not here, people in the East Palace cannot be moved."
This is of course not entirely true. It can be moved, but in order to confuse people, no one on the surface can be moved. As for privately, it depends on Zhang Jian, the general manager.
However, it is related to the secrets of the East Palace, and Su Xinyi cannot explain it to the queen.
As long as the prince is still the crown prince and has not ascended to that position, the queen's position will have certain variables, and the foundation of the East Palace cannot be known to the queen.
Besides, the queen cannot interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. How will the queen think that she, a princess, can mobilize the prince's people?
Su Xinyi cannot take risks and can only be cautious.
Zhu Chanyi is extremely uneasy at the moment. She didn't expect that there would be such a big relationship behind this. She subconsciously went to see the princess.
Su Xinyi turned her eyes to meet Zhu Chanyi's and blinked calmly.
Zhu Chanyi's eyes lit up slightly. The two had been friends for so long, so they had a tacit understanding.
Before she married Prince Rong, her family had told her in detail that the Zhu family supported the royal orthodoxy, that is, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Prince Rong is now on the same boat with the Crown Prince, which is the best thing. After she married Prince Rong, she worked hard to maintain the interests of her natal family and her husband's family.
Isn't this her best opportunity?
Zhu Chanyi calmed down and said, "Mother, the Crown Princess's concerns are right, and your daughter-in-law also thinks that there may be other hidden secrets in the matter of the Princess. How about this, your daughter-in-law asks her family to investigate on her behalf, what do you think?"
The current situation is that Su Xinyi pretends that she can't come forward, and the Queen is even more embarrassed. Her natal family has become a commoner, and the person being investigated is her sister's niece. Naturally, she can't let the Princess of Guangping County come forward, and then she will face a situation where no one is available.
As for Prince Rong, Prince Yi must be keeping a close eye on him now, so it is not easy for Prince Rong to take direct action. On the contrary, Zhu Chanyi, a newly married bride, would naturally not know or dare to intervene in such matters until she has established a firm foothold in the palace.
Therefore, if Zhu Chanyi asked the Zhu family to investigate privately, it would be a case of the dark under the lamp.
Zhu Chanyi was investigating the marriage between Yan Qiongsi and the Jiang family, and Su Xinyi could use this to make Prince Yi feel apprehensive, and there might be unexpected gains.
Prince Rong was overjoyed, "Yes, it would be better to let my father-in-law come forward. Prince Yi would not think of this."
The queen had no other choice at the moment. Although this matter was not very glorious, she had to let the Zhu family investigate. So she looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "It would be best if the Duke of Zheng's Mansion was willing to help. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Chanyi smiled generously, "Mother, since I married the prince, I will naturally think about the prince everywhere. The prince's affairs are my affairs. Don't worry, mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely do a good job."
The queen was very satisfied with the attitude of Zhu Chanyi, her daughter-in-law, and her expression was a little relaxed.
In the first half of her life, she was on par with Concubine Li. After fighting for so many years, she could not tell the winner, but the next generation would be different.
Prince Xiang married You Xiangru, but she was not as considerate and capable as his daughter-in-law.
The Queen looked at the Crown Princess, "What do you think?"
Su Xinyi met the Queen's eyes and said gratefully, "That's great. I just feel guilty that the Duke of Zheng's Mansion has made so much effort for the seventh brother's wife, who has only been married for a short time."
The Queen smiled after hearing Su Xinyi's statement, "We are all family, so there is no need to be so polite. How can you, as a sister-in-law, let her suffer a loss?"
"Of course not." Su Xinyi laughed heartily, "My mother and my seventh brother are so considerate of Your Highness. When Your Highness returns to Beijing, I will definitely talk to Your Highness about it."
The Queen was satisfied. If the Crown Prince didn't know about her doing so much, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to flirt with a blind man?
Prince Rong was also satisfied. There were not many people who could make Su Xinyi grateful, but his wife did it.
After coming out of Yuanhui Palace, Su Xinyi said to King Rong unceremoniously: "Seventh brother, I have some things to discuss with my seventh brother and sister. Why don't you go back first?"
King Rong:?
It's Su Xinyi who is talking about burning bridges across rivers, right?
King Rong left angrily.
Zhu Chanyi followed the Crown Princess to the East Palace and said with a smile as she walked, "The Crown Princess is still awesome."
Su Xinyi was also happy, "When we are talking, there is no need to call me Crown Princess, which is too unfamiliar. In private, you still call me by my name, I think that is cordial. Speaking of which, even though you are married to Prince Rong, you are still a foreigner. They married my younger siblings, but we were friends before we married their brothers.”
Zhu Chanyi agreed immediately without any hesitation, "I have really been the most ladylike time in my life. I am so suffocated."
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way into the East Palace, as if they were back to the time when they got along before getting married, and they were extremely comfortable.
Su Xinyi took Zhu Chanyi to the inner hall. The two sat on the large clinical couch, served refreshments, and chatted while eating.
Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Do you think Yan Qiongsi really doesn't know or is he pretending not to know?"
Su Xinyi sighed, "The Queen really loves her, she really treats her like her own daughter, and King Rong also treats her as his own sister. It's a pity, I think Yan Qiongsi will let down the love of the Queen and King Rong." ”
Zhu Chanyi's expression was ugly, "Do you think she knew about it?"
Su Xinyi knew that if Zhu Chanyi or Duke Zheng's mansion could really find out something, he had to say what he should say, "There is something that I did not explain directly in front of the empress."
"What's going on?" Zhu Chanyi asked.
"I told my empress that Yan Qiongsi reminded me before, do you still remember?"
Zhu Chanyi nodded, "I remember, but does it have anything to do with the Jiang family's engagement?"
"Forsythia, bring a pen and paper." Su Xinyi shouted outside the hall.
Forsythia quickly handed over the pen and paper, then bowed and retreated.
Su Xinyi picked up the pen and wrote Yan Qiongsi's name on the paper, and then wrote King Yi in the other corner, "Look, on the surface, Yan Qiongsi and King Yi have nothing to do with each other, but they have one thing in common."
Zhu Chanyi said: "I know, Yuling'an."
Su Xinyi nodded and wrote Yuling'an between the two, "There are two other people related to Yuling'an."
"Xu Yurong and Aunt Fu?" Zhu Chanyi remembered saying this to Su Xinyi in Yuanhui Palace.
Su Xinyi nodded and added the two names. She explained to Zhu Chanyi, "When it came to the hunting ground, people from the Ministry of Punishment asked Fuyun why he went to Yuling Nunnery. Fuyun said that someone from her hometown became a monk and became a sister-in-law at Yuling Nunnery. , called Master Minghui, so when she missed her hometown, she went to Yuling Temple to talk to Master Minghui.”
Zhu Chanyi didn't know this, so she said, "It sounds reasonable."
Su Xinyi didn't want to say too much about Fuyun now, as it involved Prince Xiang, and there was a lot of friction between Concubine Li and the Queen because of Prince Xiang's upcoming marriage. She was also worried that saying too much would upset Zhu Chan. Yi has a bad understanding of what is wrong.
Moreover, the focus now is not on Fuyun, but on Yan Qiongsi.
"One thing is that Yan Qiongsi got the medicine from Xu Yurong at the hunting ground, which led to King Xiang's gaffe, which in turn led to the marriage between King Xiang and You Xiangzhe. The person who provided the medicine to Xu Yurong was the shopkeeper of Yubaozhai , the shopkeeper’s name is Chen Sheng, who was born in Suizhou.”
Zhu Chanyi's expression suddenly became serious, "Sure enough, it has something to do with King Yi."
"It's not possible to make a complete conclusion based on this alone. After all, there was Xu Yurong in the middle. His Highness sent people to Suizhou to investigate Chen Sheng, but before they could find out the details, Chen Sheng died suddenly after returning to Suizhou for half a month."
"Then the clue is broken, isn't it?"
"They are still investigating over there. Chen Sheng is dead, but he still has family members, so there can always be some clues." Su Xinyi said slowly, "It's just that the process will be slower. Your Highness is not in the capital now. What's going on in Suizhou?" The news is not known yet. However, it can be seen from this that Suizhou is not peaceful and King Yi is unusual. What I am more worried about now is, if King Yi really takes advantage of Yan Qiongsi, who do you think he is targeting in the end. ?”
Who is the closest person to Yan Jones?
Queen mother and son!
Zhu Chanyi felt a little unable to sit still, and her face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
"It's fine if Yan Qiongsi doesn't know the truth, but if he still does it after knowing it..." Zhu Chanyi also had a murderous look in his eyes, which means he is not only ungrateful, but also has no conscience.
Su Xinyi sighed, "Now you understand why I can't speak so clearly in front of the Empress and Prince Rong, because to Yan Qiongsi, the Empress and Prince Rong treat each other sincerely, so before you have real evidence, you Don’t lie either.”
Zhu Chanyi knew that Su Xinyi was trying to encourage her. When her new daughter-in-law came in, she wanted to sow discord between her aunts, nephews, and cousins. Isn't this asking for death?
"I didn't expect that marrying into the royal family would be so complicated." Zhu Chanyi said with a slumped face.
She finally understood why Xin Yi did things so thoughtfully and meticulously. It was all because of force.
Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Actually, the Queen is pretty good as a mother-in-law, and Prince Rong is also qualified as a husband. As long as you don't make any mistakes, your life will be easy in the future."
Zhu Chanyi smiled, and the Crown Princess also said that she had to make sure nothing went wrong. With her temperament, she couldn't be held back to death.
"Then what should I tell my family?" Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and asked, with so many things going on, where to start?
Su Xinyi said carefully: "You tell Duke Zheng everything, and let the Duke decide how to let the family take action, and don't worry about it."
Even if Zhu Chanyi married Prince Rong, she is still a junior in the family. The Duke Zheng's Mansion is different from the Duke Qi's Mansion.
The old man of the Duke Qi's Mansion has handed over the power a long time ago, and now he is raising flowers and playing with birds to enjoy his old age.
Duke Zheng is different. He is still the Duke of Zheng. He led the army to war a few years ago. He is younger than the old man of the Duke Qi's Mansion, so the Duke Zheng is still the head of the family and holds the power.
Su Xinyi knows Duke Zheng. When he led the army to war, he was not only good at leading soldiers, but also had a lot of experience in being an official.
Today's update is sent, mua mua, my little cuties.
