$398: Broken Leg

King Rong swallowed the cake in his mouth, stared into the distance, drank some water to smooth his throat, and then said: "Go to the junction of Huishan and Fengpingwei."

Yang Jin was stunned, "Your Highness?"

King Rong said slowly: "Mu Xing is very skilled. He is a person who can compete with Su Xinyi. Don't forget that he is a killer and his hiding skills are better than ordinary people. He is very skilled and good at hiding, but now he is missing." Well, there are only two explanations.”

Yang Jin frowned when he heard this, "Either Mu Xing found the commander and they were trapped together, or they escaped together, or it was true..."

Dead.

"When the caravan was walking outside the Great Wall, Mu Xing was always the one exploring the way. If he really died, some people would feel uncomfortable." King Rong snorted.

Su Xinyi is a very strange person. In her eyes, there is no difference between the three religions and the nine classes. For example, the beggar leader or that old man, she can squat on the street and chat happily with others.

Mu Xing had killed her before, and she could think of a way out for him when she turned around.

He is obviously extremely cruel, but his heart is extremely short-tempered.

Cheer, the benevolence of a woman.

However, because of Su Xinyi's kindness as a woman, he is now here to find someone for her. So, isn't he the most pitiful person?

He couldn't get anything, so he had to work as an errand boy for her.

King Rong couldn't think anymore and went to sleep.

Yang Jin arranged for someone to keep vigil at night. He held the knife and leaned against the bonfire and closed his eyes. But in his mind, how long would it take to reach the junction of Huishan and Fengpingwei from here?

What places will they pass along the way? Huishan County was also one of the places where the granary accident happened. When they came to rescue people this time, they couldn't alert the snake. How to plan the route without alerting the Huishan County Magistrate...

Also, what if you can’t find anyone?

Where to go next?

If you want to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, where is the safest place to start...

With his mind full of things, Yang Jin had an uneasy sleep. Before the time came, he rubbed his eyes and sat up.

The bonfire had mostly been extinguished, and the guarding soldiers had also changed their shifts. They were quietly preparing breakfast. When they saw him getting up, they hurriedly greeted him.

Yang Jin waved his hand. This dry pancake was really hard to eat.

Their prince used to not even look at such things, but now there are more of them, and the food is much harder to eat. Even having pancakes to eat feels like a good thing.

Yang Jin smiled when he thought of this, and asked someone to boil a large pot of water to cool down, and then poured it into a cowhide water bag to drink on the way.

King Rong got up without waiting for anyone to call him. He ate the slightly soft pancakes with everyone, swallowed them with water, and set off again under the morning dew.

On the other side, Su Xinyi in the East Palace was having breakfast, listening to Forsythia's reply from the side while eating.

"The third master has sent a letter here. Aunt Weng has made arrangements for you, so you don't have to worry. In addition, the third master has informed the fifth girl that it is not convenient for the fifth girl to come to the East Palace to see you now. Please let the third master I conveyed my thanks."

Su Xinyi was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that San Bo would move so quickly, and that Su Xixian's side had already made arrangements.

Forsythia looked at the Crown Princess who looked okay, and then continued: "Zhan Qiao said there seems to be new news from Zeng Liang, and he will go there today."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly when he heard this, "Didn't Zeng Liang go back to Qingjinfang?"

"I have gone back, but it seems that there are still people staying. My slaves don't understand this very well. Zhan Qiao said that beggars all over the world belong to the same family. It seems that Zeng Liang is connected with beggars from other places."

Su Xinyi:......

In just a few days, if Zeng Liang were ten years younger, he would have dragged all the beggars in the capital over.

"I'm afraid King Yi will keep an eye on him and tell him to be careful." Su Xinyi was quite worried. Zeng Liang was already old, so if he risked his life by working for her, then she would really be wrong. Live him.

"Prince Concubine, don't worry. Zhan Qiao was worried at first. Later, he found out that Zeng Liang was haunted. The cunning rabbit has three burrows. Zhan Qiao said that Zeng Liang was afraid that he had eighteen burrows."

Su Xinyi was immediately amused, "Did Zeng Liang tell him?"

"That's not true. It's just that Zhan Qiao met Zeng Liang recently, and the place was different every time. It shows that he is cautious."

People become better with age. People like Zeng Liang, who can live to this age, have experienced many things and met many people, naturally have their own set of things to pay attention to.

"Then tell Zhan Qiao to be careful." Su Xinyi paused here, "Don't let people from King Yi find out that we have recent contact with Zeng Liang. This will be detrimental to Zeng Liang."

People like King Yi didn't dare to attack the East Palace blatantly, but they didn't have that much worry about Zeng Liang.

Moreover, as Zeng Liang, if something really happened, she wouldn't be able to stand up for a beggar for no reason.

It is better to be careful in everything than to regret later.

"Yes, then, slave, go now. Zhanqiao will be leaving soon."

"Go ahead."

Forsythia hurriedly turned around.

Su Xinyi finished her breakfast and walked slowly under the eaves. Delphinium and a few little palace maids were packing things in the East Palace. Now that winter is approaching, some things that are not needed in autumn can be dried and sealed. The box is put away.

Because of this, it was very lively outside, so she stood under the eaves and looked at them, feeling happy.

Aunt She walked along the corridor, holding a basic booklet in her hand. She saluted the Crown Princess and said with a smile: "This is the account of the East Palace for the past ten years. The Crown Princess has passed it by."

Su Xinyi didn't want to look at it for the time being, so she said to Nanny She: "Please keep it for now, I'll look at it later."

Nanny She nodded, "Although there are many things to do in the East Palace, it has always been well managed, and the Crown Princess can look at it later."

"With Nanny here, I don't have to worry much." Su Xinyi said happily.

Nanny She also smiled and said softly: "I just got the news that Concubine Li asked to see Your Majesty last night, and Your Majesty went to Zhaoyu Palace and stayed there."

Su Xinyi was a little surprised to hear this. Recently, Your Majesty has not stayed in the harem very often, and it has been rare to see Your Majesty at Concubine Li's place in the past one or two months.

Now Your Majesty has gone to Zhaoyu Palace again and stayed there. Is it because Prince Xiang is about to get married, or is Your Majesty thinking about Concubine Li again?

This is not good news for Su Xinyi.

"Where's the Queen?"

"Everything is normal in Yuanhui Palace, but Concubine Ruan Ming has been going to Yuanhui Palace more frequently recently." Nanny She paused and said, "Princess Wu has been visiting the palace more often recently."

Su Xinyi frowned when she thought of Ji Yun. She knew that there was something wrong with the Ji family and Ji Yun, but Concubine Ruan Ming didn't know.

I don't know if the Queen will give Concubine Ruan Ming a hint. This matter has not been put on the table yet. I'm afraid the Queen will not make it public to avoid alerting the enemy.

Seeing the Crown Princess frowning, Nanny She said, "Are you worried that Concubine Wu has other plans?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes."

"This kind of thing is easy to deal with. Just keep Concubine Wu from leaving the Wu Palace." Nanny She smiled.

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Can't leave the Wu Wang Mansion?"

Madam She nodded, "The Crown Princess has always been upright and honest, and is unwilling to use those unpresentable means, but such means are common for married women."

Su Xinyi understood what Madam She meant in an instant. Yes, didn't the Princess of Pingjing County use these means to embarrass herself in her previous life?

It is precisely because she herself has suffered such hardships that she never thinks of using such means to embarrass others.

Seeing the hesitant look of the Crown Princess, Nanny She said softly: "Crown Princess, just asking Princess Wu to stay in the Wu Palace and not cause trouble is already a very gentle measure. If Princess Wu really makes trouble in the palace, I'm afraid things will get out of hand."

After listening to Nanny She's words, Su Xinyi knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted, so she nodded and said: "Madam, you are right. It's not easy for Concubine Ruan Ming. If she is really implicated by Concubine Wu, that would be... But how to deal with this matter, we have to think about it carefully."

"Crown Princess, I think that Concubine Ruan Ming herself has also noticed something, otherwise she wouldn't run to Yuanhui Palace so diligently." Nanny She said.

Su Xinyi seemed to be thinking about something. Nanny She made sense, but she didn't think of it for a while.

"That would make things easier. Concubine Ruan Ming is always cautious. If she guesses something, she will arrest Princess Wu herself without anyone else's help."

Su Xinyi said this and looked at Madam She, "Madam, can you get in touch with the housekeeper Madam that Concubine Ruan Ming sent to the Wu Palace?"

"Madam Xu?" Madam She thought for a moment and shook her head, "I'm not familiar with Madam Xu, but it's not easy to get in touch with her now, but it's not difficult to pass on the news."

Su Xinyi said, "Then Madam, go do this, and let Madam Xu Knowing that the Princess of Wu has ulterior motives and married the King of Wu for other purposes, don't make it too clear, but it is enough to let Madam Xu be sure that this matter is not groundless. "

"This is easy to do." Madam She immediately agreed, "Each mansion has people who buy goods, and the news spreads the fastest. I will do it now, and I will keep Madam Xu's news tomorrow."

"Then thank you for your hard work, Madam."

Not long after Madam She left, Su Xinyi basked in the sun for a while, and Lian Qiao came back. Seeing that she looked a little strange, Su Xinyi sat up straight.

"Crown Princess, something happened."

"What happened?"

"Just now I went to see Zhan Qiao, and Zhan Qiao just got the news that Mr. Jiang was beaten up last night. He was beaten so hard that one of his legs was broken."

"Jiang Zhongnian was beaten up?" Su Xinyi really didn't expect it. "What happened?"

"Last night, Mr. Jiang was buying books with a few friends in a bookstore. A few thugs came out from nowhere and insisted on buying books with them. They wanted to buy whatever Mr. Jiang bought, and the two sides started arguing. I don't know who started the fight first."

"Then what happened?" Su Xinyi asked again.

"In the chaos, Mr. Jiang was kicked by someone. The kick was so strong that his leg was broken on the spot." Lian Qiao's face turned pale as she spoke, "How could it be so coincidental? I wonder if this was intentional?"

It's not whether it was or not, but the broken leg must have been intentional.

But who did it intentionally, Su Xinyi can't tell now.

Madam Jiang said there was a way before, could it be this way?

However, if the broken leg is not healed properly, if there is any flaw left, Jiang Zhongnian's career will be cut off. The selection of officials in the court must have healthy limbs and a good appearance. Those who are too ugly or have problems with their hands and feet cannot be selected, even if they are talented.

If it is not Madam Jiang, who could it be?

A gangster?

Su Xinyi's mind flashed, and Zeng Liang's face was directly in front of her.

If it was Zeng Liang, he would have no reason to attack Jiang Zhongnian.

If it wasn't Zeng Liang who used such unflattering means, she would have suspected that it might be King Yi.

But why did King Yi attack Jiang Zhongnian at this time?

There's no reason either.

Su Xinyi's mind was spinning rapidly, and she couldn't figure out the reason for a while, but one thing she knew was that it was definitely not as simple as a broken leg.

Suddenly, Su Xinyi thought of Mrs. Zhu and immediately looked at Forsythia, "Go to Prince Rong's Mansion in person and ask Princess Rong to come over."

"Hey, slave, let's go right now." Forsythia turned around and left.

Su Xinyi asked someone to move the wicker chair out, and she sat under the eaves of the corridor to bask in the sun, slowly waiting for Zhu Chanyi.

The third uncle said that Aunt Weng's side was well prepared. Not long after this news came, something happened to Jiang Zhongnian's side. Are the two related?

There are many things involved, but in the final analysis they all have something to do with King Yi. Because there are so many threads, Su Xinyi must be more cautious when doing things, so as not to accidentally touch King Yi.

Not long after, Forsythia arrived with Princess Rong.

Su Xinyi looked at the two of them in surprise.

Forsythia opened her mouth and said: "My servant has not yet arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion, but I met Princess Rong on the way and we came together."

Zhu Chanyi came forward to greet him.

Su Xinyi stood up and said with a smile: "I was bored here for a while, so I invited my seventh younger brother and sister to come over and talk. Unexpectedly, we actually thought of going together."

Zhu Chanyi said yes with a smile and followed Su Xinyi into the inner hall.

After entering the door, Forsythia stood up and served tea, then went outside to guard the door.

Here, Su Xinyi asked Zhu Chanyi to sit down, and then said: "Do you know what happened about Jiang Zhongnian's broken leg?"

Zhu Chanyi's face turned pale.

As soon as Su Xinyi saw it, he knew that his guess was correct. Mrs. Zhu must know the inside story, and Zhu Chanyi also gained confidence.

"That's why I came here. It happened so suddenly. My mother and Mrs. Jiang changed their minds at the last minute. It was just pity that Mr. Jiang suffered such a fate."

Su Xinyi's expression was very subtle when she heard this. She actually guessed it right at the first reaction. It was really related to Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang really hates Yan Qiongsi as her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't hesitate to be cruel to her son. I'm afraid she is the one who will suffer the most at this moment.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Su Xinyi knew that this matter had changed, and it must be something serious, otherwise the two ladies would not be forced to make such a decision at this time.
