$395: Letter From the Prince

It was the second day that Su Xinyi received the news from Zhu Chanyi. She was relieved. If Duke Zheng took action, it would not be too difficult for Yan Qiongsi to find out the truth.

Madam Jiang...

Su Xinyi hesitated whether to pass the message. She sat in the palace and thought carefully. It involved Prince Rong. Behind Prince Rong stood the Queen, who was currently protecting Yan Qiongsi.

After thinking about it, she couldn't tell Duke Zheng directly, but she still had to inform Madam Jiang.

If both sides were to move, it would be bad if they went in opposite directions.

Su Xinyi called Cui Que and said to her, "Go to the Jiang family."

Madam Jiang was a smart person. If she let her know a little, she would know what to do.

Cui Que nodded repeatedly after hearing what the Crown Princess said, "I'll go right away."

"Don't be too shy. If you accidentally meet someone, just say I asked you to ask about Madam Yue's news." Su Xinyi reminded.

Cuiqiao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Jiang has been married to the Yue family for so long, and I don't know how she is doing there. You are good friends with the young lady, so it's normal to ask Madam Jiang."

Su Xinyi pointed at Cuiqiao in the air, "Go quickly."

"I'll go right away." Cuiqiao smiled and left.

Just as Cuiqiao left, Lianqiao hurried in, "Crown Princess, the letter from the prince has arrived."

Su Xinyi was stunned, then looked at the letter in Lianqiao's hand, and immediately reached out to take it. The envelope was not thick, and she couldn't wait to tear it open. There was only a thin page of paper, and the handwriting on it was a little messy. She took a closer look and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although the prince went south to understand the disappearance of Jinglüe, he couldn't go directly under this banner, otherwise the commander of Fengping Guard would be on guard.

So, the prince went to Shang Junyan first, in the name of inspecting by the emperor's order, but he didn't expect Mu Xing to be missing too.

After Jie Jinglue disappeared, Shang Junyan asked Mu Xing to investigate the matter secretly, but he didn't expect Mu Xing to never return.

Su Xinyi felt heavy in her heart. His Highness had sent a memorial to His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty would let Prince Rong bring people to the south to assist.

Things were more complicated than she thought. If Prince Rong also went south, I'm afraid the capital would not be peaceful.

Su Xinyi held the letter for a long time without moving. Lian Qiao was very worried and called softly, "Crown Princess, are you okay?"

The Crown Princess's face was not good, and Lian Qiao was almost worried to death.

Su Xinyi came to her senses after hearing the voice, and she shook her head, "I'm fine. You go down first, I'll stay alone for a while."

Lian Qiao was a little worried, but still nodded, "I'll be guarding outside the palace, Crown Princess, call me if you have anything."

"Go." Su Xinyi waved her hand.

After Lian Qiao left, Su Xinyi stood up and paced slowly in the hall. She had received the letter, so the memorial presented to His Majesty must have been delivered. I wonder what decision His Majesty will make.

Prince Rong has already married, so there will be no problem if he goes south at this time, but will His Majesty let Prince Rong take risks?

Su Xinyi knew Mu Xing's ability. If he just wanted to escape, few people could easily catch him, unless he encountered a net specifically targeting him, or he didn't want to escape.

His Majesty didn't say in the letter whether he would go to Fengpingwei, probably because he didn't want to make her worry.

Su Xinyi is now far away in the capital, out of reach, Fengpingwei... Who would have thought that such a small Fengpingwei would have such a thing.

Su Xinyi went to the study, took out the map and spread it on the table, her fingertips fell on the three words Fengpingwei, followed the route south, paused on the words Pingningwei, and then went south to Suizhou.

Xie Jinglue is missing. It is unknown whether Fan Pengchi is guarding Pingning Guard now. If Fan Pengchi is not there, who is in charge of Pingning Guard now?

If Pingning Guard loses both the commander and the assistant commander at the same time, then the commander who can control Pingning Guard is the deputy commander. She vaguely remembers that the deputy commander of Pingning Guard is a man named Jiang You.

She is not familiar with this person. Neither Xie Jinglue nor Fan Pengchi mentions him very often.

However, this person has become a crucial person now.

Your Highness must know this. Pingning Guard is an important place separating Fengping Guard and Suizhou, and it cannot be lost.

So... Your Highness asked Prince Rong to go south...

Su Xinyi's heart shuddered. Prince Rong is a man of no mean temperament. If he goes south, if the deputy commander of Pingning Guard is problematic, it would be reasonable for Prince Rong to deal with him.

If it were someone else, no matter which minister in the court, they would not act as easily as Prince Rong.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, and calmed down a little after thinking about this. She waited for the news from His Majesty.

Su Xinyi had no appetite, but for the sake of her child, she forced herself to eat a bowl of rice. As soon as she put down the bowl, Yinzhi from Yuanhui Palace came over in person.

When Su Xinyi saw her, Yinzhi stepped forward to greet her, "Crown Princess, the Queen asks you to go over."

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Yinzhi trying to act as if she didn't know anything, and said with a smile, "You asked me to go over now, but what's going on with the Queen Mother?"

Yinzhi shook her head, "I don't know."

"Then wait a moment, let me change my clothes." Su Xinyi smiled and went into the inner hall.

Lianqiao hurried forward to serve, and Cuique also came back at this time. When she saw Yinzhi outside, the two greeted each other, and Cuique went into the inner hall.

"Crown Princess." Cuique greeted.

Su Xinyi looked at her and asked, "Why did you take so long to come back?"

Forsythia chose a lake-green palace dress and carefully served the princess to change.

Delphinium hurriedly stepped forward to lend a hand and said: "Mrs. Jiang was not in the house when I arrived. I spent some time waiting for Mrs. Jiang to return to the house. I have already given the message to Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang asked me to convey her gratitude to you. . Rest assured, she knows what to do.”

Su Xinyi said: "Did Mrs. Jiang say anything else?"

"Mrs. Jiang said that just yesterday, the Princess of Guangping County had people come to her door to ask about the wedding date. Mrs. Jiang used the excuse that the eldest son Jiang was not married yet, and said that she would at least wait until the eldest son Jiang got married before discussing the wedding date of the second son Jiang. However, Guang Princess Pingjun is pressing hard, and Mr. Jiang’s wedding cannot be postponed until the end of the year. Mrs. Jiang means that this matter must be resolved before the end of the year. "

Su Xinyi really didn't expect that the princess of Guangping County would press so hard. If her guess was correct, did it mean that King Yi was a little anxious?

Thinking of Mu Xing's disappearance, Su Xinyi vaguely felt that it must be related to this matter.

She changed her clothes and followed Yinzhi with Forsythia to Yuanhui Palace.

When the Queen of Yuanhui Palace saw Su Xinyi coming, she hurriedly said, "Sit down. You don't need to be polite when you're pregnant."

Su Xinyi still saw the gift, then sat down, with a slow smile on her face, and said: "Thank you for your understanding, mother, but the gift cannot be discarded. You asked your daughter-in-law to come over, but you have something to give me?"

The queen waved her hand and asked everyone in the palace to retreat, leaving only Aunt Zhao. Then she looked at Su Xinyi and said: "Your Majesty suddenly sent an order to let King Rong go south. I was a little panicked, so I asked you to come and ask if it was possible. Do you know what's going on?"

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat. Your Majesty didn't tell the queen why.

His Majesty wanted to hide the truth from the Queen, so she naturally couldn't let him know, so she shook her head with a confused expression, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know either, but she thought, isn't this a good thing? When His Highness went south, he wanted to take his seventh brother with him to give him a lesson. Second, the seventh brother was not married at that time and could not make the trip. Now that he is married, he can naturally leave the capital. "

When the queen heard what Su Xinyi said, she felt that it made sense, and then sighed and said, "As I get older, I really can't help but worry when something happens."

"My son has traveled thousands of miles, and my mother is worried. Mother, you love your seventh brother." Su Xinyi couldn't tell the truth to the queen, but she was also afraid that something might happen to King Rong. How would she explain it to the queen then?

Thinking of this, she said with a smile: "The seventh brother was the first to be discovered in the granary case this time. Maybe His Highness has some new clues. My daughter-in-law thought about how the caravans were attacked before. This time when the seventh brother went south, it was still... Bring more guards to protect you just in case.”

The queen nodded when she heard this, "What you said is that it is better to bring in more talents. This time, Prince Xiang's marriage cannot be kept up with. If Concubine Li knows about it, she may not be able to eat."

The marriages of the previous princes were basically settled, but when we came to King Xiang, the prince was not in Beijing, and King Rong was leaving now. Although he said he had errands, in the eyes of others, His Majesty did not think highly of King Xiang. The rumors are only getting worse.

Thinking of this, the queen became less worried about the news of her son leaving Beijing.

"Now that Prince Rong is going to meet the prince, do you have anything or a letter for the prince that he can take with him?" the queen said with a smile.

When Su Xinyi heard this, his eyes lit up and he was full of joy, and said, "Then I'll trouble my seventh brother."

"We are all a family, so don't say these kind words." The queen changed her tone at this point, "Wang Rong will leave the capital just after getting married. Princess Rong and you have always had a good relationship. Please give her a few words of advice on my behalf, don't Let her think more."

Waiting for her here, Su Xinyi naturally agreed, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will invite my seventh younger brother and sister to the East Palace to talk later."

The queen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Duke Zheng, do you know?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "The seventh brother and sister gave me the news. This time they all relied on the queen mother. If you hadn't nodded, how could the seventh brother and sister dare to ask Duke Zheng's government to help."

The queen couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she thought of Yan Qiongsi, but compared with King Rong, Yan Qiongsi naturally took a step back. She didn't want to think about it anymore and just wanted to wait for the news.

"I asked you to make this trip, and you should go back and rest. If there is any news over there, please remember to inform me."

"Even if there is news, the seventh brother and sister will definitely report it to the Queen Mother first, and the daughter-in-law will just wait for the letter from the Queen Mother."

The queen was happy, and looked at Su Xinyi who was also convinced. She couldn't even say a word, and she didn't know how she had such an exquisite heart with seven orifices.

When Su Xinyi came out of Yuanhui Palace, the queen was actually a little worried about her. When it came to Yan Qiongsi, she was right to be more cautious.

After all, Yan Qiongsi is the niece that the Queen has loved for so many years. Even if she cannot be compared with King Rong, she believes that as long as she does not touch King Rong, the Queen will definitely be willing to take advantage of Yan Qiongsi.

However, how could she allow this to happen? She had put so much thought into it, laid out the situation for so long, and mobilized so many people. How could she let Yan Qiongsi, a scourge, slip away?

The Queen's efforts were destined to be in vain, but she had to be careful not to make the Queen dissatisfied with her because of this matter, so she could not be caught by the Queen without any reason.

People are always close and distant. Su Xinyi understands this very well, so she doesn't blame the queen.

After returning to the East Palace, Su Xinyi handed Zhu Chanyi a message and asked her to meet after King Rong left the capital. Zhu Chanyi happily agreed.

The news of King Rong leaving the capital did not spread widely until King Rong rushed out of the city gate through the royal road with a large number of guards.

The capital instantly became lively again because of this incident.

At this time, Zhu Chanyi was drinking tea in the East Palace, "Xin Yi, you don't know that when King Rong walks in front, I will receive the message from Princess Wu on the back."

Su Xinyi paused while pouring tea, "Princess Wu?"

"No, if I didn't know about the relationship between Ji Shilang and King Yi, how could I have thought of what she asked me to do? I was so scared that I hurriedly came to your place."

Su Xinyi was amused, "Are you still afraid of her?"

"Are you afraid? It's not that you're afraid of trouble." Zhu Chanyi sipped her tea and said suspiciously, "What do you think Ji Yun is thinking about? Concubine Ruan Ming just set the rules a few days ago, and now she's taking care of these things. Is it possible? Aren’t you afraid of being taught a lesson by Ruan Mingfei again?”

Su Xinyi naturally knew why. She was afraid that it was the truth that King Yi wanted Rong Wang to go south. She looked at Zhu Chanyi and said: "First find an excuse to refuse once. If she invites you again, or comes to visit you and asks about Rong Rong, Regarding Wang Nan’s trip, you vaguely told her that it was about the granary.”

"Isn't it about the granary?" Zhu Chanyi asked suspiciously.

Su Xinyi nodded, "I don't know what King Yi is going to do now, but we must not let him know the truth about the seventh brother going south." After saying this, he noticed something was wrong and looked up at Zhu Chanyi.

Zhu Chanyi looked back at Su Xinyi with a confused expression.

Su Xinyi held her forehead and said thoughtfully: "The information I got here is not very comprehensive. There is indeed something going on in the granary, but it is not all."

Zhu Chanyi nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, is there any danger?"

Although she and Wang Rong had only been married for a short time and didn't have much affection, they were a couple after all, and they still cared about them.

Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and smiled helplessly, "Chanyi, how do you want me to answer you? I can't even guarantee whether His Highness the Crown Prince is in danger."

Zhu Chanyi looked stern, "If I had known earlier, I should have gone south with His Highness."

Su Xinyi didn't say anything, just because it wouldn't work. Zheng Guogong never touched His Majesty's bottom line and would not let his granddaughter do such outrageous things.

After all, Zhu Chanyi has a good reputation in the capital. Although she practices martial arts with her elders in the family, she never bullies the weak, nor does she do anything that violates etiquette and law because of her martial arts practice.

She is different from Chanyi. When she first came back from rebirth, she was thinking about how to live happily and make up for the suffering she suffered in her previous life. She wanted to let her aunt live healthily, so she could only stand up. .

She accidentally found an unusual path for herself, because after returning to Beijing, she acted so fresh and refined, which was contrary to the ladies of the capital.

Everyone was shocked and disapproved at first, but as she would not change due to other people's opinions, and she was good at using the rules, she would not be caught with her fatal weakness, and instead opened a new path for herself. .

Therefore, if she followed the prince south, others might not agree, but they wouldn't be surprised.

Zhu Chanyi is different, because she has never done such a thing before, and if she suddenly does it, there will be a lot of criticism on her.

Zhu Chanyi probably thought of this in hindsight, smiled bitterly, and whispered: "I really envy you now."

Su Xinyi smiled. If she knew all the truth, she wouldn't envy herself.

Resurrection from the ashes is not a happy thing.

"Don't talk about it." Zhu Chanyi is a free and easy person. He knows that he can't change, so he doesn't worry about it. He looks at Su Xinyi and speaks in a low voice, "My grandfather sent me the news, which is a bit confusing. It's not easy to talk about this matter." It has something to do with the second master of your house."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Is it related to my second uncle?"

"Did Master Su ask his men to look for something the past few days?"

Su Xinyi's eyebrows twitched, "How did the Duke know? This is indeed the case."

When she told Zhu Chanyi that she knew the news about the meeting between King Yi and Ji Shilang at Yuling Temple, she didn't say where it came from. Unexpectedly, after going round and round, Zheng Guogong actually touched the fur.

Zhu Chanyi smiled and said: "There is something going on in the 24th Guards in the capital. How could my grandfather not know about it?"

Su Xinyi laughed, "Yes, Zheng Guogong has a very high prestige, and the movements in the capital guard station can indeed be hidden from others, but not from him."

Zhu Chanyi was also happy, "My grandfather didn't make any announcement about this matter. Mr. Su is very cautious in doing things. If my grandfather hadn't been investigating Princess Runyi's affairs, he wouldn't have discovered it."

"What news did the Duke find?" Su Xinyi asked immediately.

Zhu Chanyi glanced at Su Xinyi with a complicated expression, "You didn't expect, and I didn't expect, who Yan Qiongsi met before going to the Jiang family banquet."

"Who?" Su Xinyi knew that Yan Qiongsi would not target the Jiang family for no reason. There must be a reason. "If you ask me like this, you must not be King Yi."

"You are indeed smart. You are indeed not King Yi. Zhu Chanyi also went to Yuling Nunnery. It seems that she is Fuyun's fellow Minghui Master. Unexpected, right?"

Su Xinyi really didn't expect it. She nodded, looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "Yan Qiongsi went to see Master Minghui. When she was in the Ministry of Punishment, she never said she had any interactions with Master Minghui."

"My grandfather also suspected this, so he secretly read the files of the Ministry of Punishment and found a suspicious point in the files."

"Suspicious points? About the hunting ground?" Su Xinyi couldn't think of any suspicious points for a moment. She and His Highness had discussed the hunting ground matters several times. What other suspicious points could there be?
