405: Isn't This Putting Her on the Spot?

As Hu Siyi arrived at the Purple Palace, he asked the Crown Princess to wait for a moment and then went into the main hall to report.

Su Xinyi waited outside the palace gate. At this time, the Purple Palace was quiet, with guards standing on both sides, and the figures of the six ministers could be seen in the distance.

Soon, Hu Siyi walked out of the palace, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Crown Princess, His Majesty summons you to come in."

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, and walked into the hall.

The palace was as quiet as last time, with palace servants standing by with their hands down, and the smell of ambergris spread in the palace.

"The daughter-in-law pays homage to the emperor." Su Xinyi stepped forward to salute, looking at the ground, not daring to overstep the line.

"Get up."

The emperor's voice came from above, and Su Xinyi heard that it was not as strong as before, and it was faintly a little tired. At this moment, her heart suddenly sank, yes, His Majesty should be in a bad state at this time.

Su Xinyi stood up and stood aside respectfully. She didn't know why His Majesty summoned her. She was unsure and didn't dare to speak easily.

On the throne, the emperor looked up and looked at Su Xinyi's respectful and restrained appearance. He smiled and said, "Did the prince send you a letter?"

Su Xinyi was stunned. What did His Majesty mean by asking her this?

Did he want to know something?

Or maybe His Majesty actually knew that His Majesty had sent her a letter. She knew that His Majesty was not easy to fool, and the father-son relationship between His Majesty and His Majesty was closer in this life than in the previous life, so she decided to tell the truth.

Prince Yi was still in the capital, and she couldn't say anything to mislead His Majesty.

"Replying to Father, His Majesty sent a letter to his daughter-in-law." Su Xinyi replied.

The emperor nodded slightly, "Do you know everything about the south?"

Su Xinyi: ...

How should I answer this question?

Know or not?

As she hesitated, she heard His Majesty's laughter, "I understand."

Su Xinyi wanted to cover her face. Yes, when she hesitated, wasn't she telling His Majesty that she knew?

It was rare to see Su Xinyi in such an embarrassing state. The emperor was obviously in a good mood and said with a smile: "I am very happy that you and the prince and his wife are in harmony."

Su Xinyi blushed slightly, coughed lightly and said: "Thanks to my father for granting marriage to my daughter-in-law, I can have a good life today."

The emperor glanced at Su Xinyi, and then slowly said, "Prince Rong always said that you have a bad temper and fight and kill at every turn. I think you are not bad now."

What does "not bad" mean?

Su Xinyi felt that this word was not a good word. This word seemed to praise her, but she felt that it should be more of a disservice to her.

So, she was silent, not knowing how to respond.

The emperor did not seem to expect Su Xinyi to reply, and continued, "The granary case may not be closed before the end of the year, and will be delayed until after the new year. The crown prince and Prince Rong cannot return to the capital before the end of the year, and I have something for you to do."

Su Xinyi herself had guessed that the crown prince would not be able to return before the end of the year. With the discovery of Jie Jinglue and Mu Xing, there should be great progress in the granary case. Under such circumstances, the crown prince would surely take down the case in one fell swoop.

However, she didn't know what His Majesty would give her to do, so she looked up with a puzzled look, "Father, just tell me if you have something to do, I will do my best."

"I know, you are also investigating Prince Yi."

Su Xinyi's heart trembled, she knew that she could hide it from others but not from His Majesty, so she immediately said: "Father is wise, I am indeed investigating this matter, because I found that many things in the Duke of Qi's Mansion seemed to be related to Prince Yi, and I was shocked and secretly investigated. Please forgive me."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, he thought Su Xinyi was investigating Prince Yi for the granary case, and never expected that it would be related to the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

Then, the emperor came back to his senses and said calmly, "Tell me, how is the matter of the Duke of Qi's Mansion related to Prince Yi, this is a bit surprising."

The emperor's tone was too calm, and Su Xinyi couldn't figure out whether His Majesty knew or not.

However, she said without hesitation, "Father, I really have no choice. Someone has reached into the Duke of Qi's Mansion and actually wants to encourage my fifth sister to take her aunt out of the Duke's Mansion..."

Su Xinyi's mind turned quickly. Since she mentioned the Duke of Qi's Mansion, she naturally had to start with family affairs. In the long run, whether it was the Su Yi incident or the Shi family incident, there was not enough evidence to prove that it was related to Prince Yi.

Su Xinyi was just suspicious of the Shi family incident. Now that her family has fallen out with Shi Zhongqian, she will definitely not get the information she wants from him, so she can't mention it.

The matter of Aunt Weng and her daughter is just right.

Su Xinyi knows the whole thing very well. The topic starts from the last time she went back to her parents' home and heard that Su Xixian wanted to take Aunt Weng to her farm. From this point of view, it is reasonable.

In fact, when Su Xixian wanted to take Aunt Weng away, Su Xinyi did not have too many doubts. She just thought Su Xixian was filial. It was only when she heard her family mention that Aunt Weng had an accident that she made the connection.

Of course, these words also involved other things. Su Xinyi couldn't explain them all, so she could only say everything she could.

After listening to it, the emperor frowned slightly and looked up at Su Xinyi, "So you suspect Prince Yi? Where is the evidence? What you said does not have any evidence directly related to Prince Yi."

Su Xinyi sighed lightly and showed a helpless smile, "Father is right. Your daughter-in-law didn't expect to have a relationship with Prince Yi at the beginning, but when she found out about this matter, she accidentally discovered another thing..."

When Su Xinyi said this, he hesitated, and his face changed. He looked hesitant and embarrassed.

Just as the emperor was about to speak, he saw Su Xinyi's expression change, and then he heard her say: "Although my grandfather told me not to talk nonsense outside, my father is not someone else, and my daughter-in-law is upset because of this matter. It just so happens that my father. When the emperor asked, the daughter-in-law simply asked her father for advice. "

emperor:……

Hu Siyi:......

Hu Siyi hurriedly lowered his head. What the Crown Princess said was more than bold. No royal daughter-in-law dared to ask for your Majesty's advice so boldly. It was the princes who, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Rong, which one of them was under Your Majesty's command? Speaking so bluntly in front of me?

The emperor felt a little itchy at all. Su Xinyi's arrogant look was really the same as that of her father back then.

Although Su Xinyi did not grow up with Su Chun, and even Su Chun did not know that she had a daughter, the nature of blood relationship was so wonderful.

The emperor forced a smile and said, "You tell me and I will give you the details."

Su Xinyi looked frank, fearless and ignorant on her face, but she was very nervous in her heart. After hearing His Majesty's words, she felt happy, but she didn't dare to show any clues on her face. She only showed an appropriately surprised smile. He said: "Thank you, Father. If you give me some advice, I will tell you the truth."

"You tell me, I'll listen." The emperor coughed lightly. Unexpectedly, Su Chun could hear the gossip of the Duke of Qi's mansion after being away for so many years.

It's just...a weird feeling.

Su Xinyi felt that something was wrong with the emperor's expression, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. There was no time for her to figure it out at the moment. All she could think about was how to drag King Yi down in a reasonable way from the matter of Aunt Weng and Su Xixian. .

Her mind was spinning very fast. Although this matter was a bit surprising, she had to say that this was also a good opportunity to go to Datian to hear. Before, matters in the Duke's Mansion had been carried out in secret. If it could be passed in front of His Majesty, If you have a clear path, things will be a little easier in the future.

Su Xinyi narrated how the family discovered that something was not right with the people around Aunt Weng. Later, Chun Cao persuaded Su Xixian to take Aunt Weng out. Finally, she mentioned that someone from the Weng family joined forces to plot against the Duke of Qi. Of course, the Weng family Su Xinyi has not yet received accurate information from Third Master as to who Bian is joining forces with, but according to her estimation, it must be closely related to King Yi.

"...This is basically what happened. My daughter-in-law, San Bo, once found out that Chuncao, the girl next to my sister, had met privately with the shopkeeper of Wantong Tea House. Wantong Tea House came from the same source as the original Yubaozhai. My daughter-in-law was really worried, so she secretly investigated the matter."

After Su Xinyi finished speaking, she looked at His Majesty calmly. All her words were true, except for one thing: the relationship between Wantong Tea House and Yubaozhai was not yet certain.

But both of these matters are related to King Yi. Although she has no evidence, she is sure that King Yi is definitely related. As long as Wantong Tea House and Yubaozhai are connected, His Majesty will naturally know the importance.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had carefully discussed the matter of Yubaozhai with His Majesty.

After hearing this, the emperor glanced at Hu Siyi and said, "The name Yubaozhai sounds familiar."

Hu Siyi immediately bent down and replied: "Your Majesty, what happened at the hunting ground was the medicine provided by Yubaozhai."

The emperor remembered it instantly, his face darkened, and he looked back at Su Xinyi, "Are you sure that these two shops are related?"

Of course Su Xinyi was not sure, but looking at His Majesty's expression, she couldn't just say that at this moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Father, my daughter-in-law is sure."

"Then what are your plans?"

Listening to the emperor's questions, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Su Xinyi's palms, and she said slowly: "Back to my father, my daughter-in-law is pregnant now. I really can't help with this matter. I can only wait for my family to deal with it." News. As for how to check at home, I’m not sure yet.”

The emperor was not surprised when he heard this. Although Su Wei was not as talented as Su Chuntian, he had done a good job in the Imperial Guard Army for so many years. It was a pity that he had already been appointed as a commander and had no great achievements. Now a commander has reached the top.

"Why did King Yi target the Duke of Qi?"

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out now, why King Yi targeted the Su family in her previous life, but she still hasn't figured it out in this life. When she heard His Majesty ask this, she was also full of doubts, "My daughter-in-law really doesn't know, and the family doesn't understand either. Our Su family has no grudges or interactions with King Yi, and we really don’t understand why we were plotted against by King Yi.”

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi with a confused face. It really didn't look like he was pretending. Su Xinyi didn't understand, but he, the emperor, understood something.

Huaining is adjacent to Suizhou. The Su family sits in Huaining. Although they have no official position, the Su family has a deep foundation and is quite prestigious in Huaining. If King Yi is in Suizhou, if he really has evil intentions, how can he allow others to snore next to his bed? , Huaining Su family is naturally a thorn in King Yi's side.

The emperor felt dizzy and his heart trembled. He forced himself to steady himself, then looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Does anyone else know about this?"

"Father, only my daughter-in-law and family members know about this matter, and it has never been spread outside." Su Xinyi replied.

The emperor nodded slightly, "I will summon Su Wei for questioning."

"Thank you, Father." Su Xinyi's guess was correct. His Majesty would indeed ask. In this case, although there are advantages and disadvantages, overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "Father, you said before that you had something to tell your daughter-in-law. I wonder what it was?"

"The marriage between the Prince of Guangping County and the Jiang family cannot happen. I know that you also know about it."

Su Xinyi: ...

It seems that Minister Jiang has complained directly to His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty would not have the time to pay attention to the marriage of a minister's second son.

Su Xinyi showed an embarrassed look, and said with a little guilt, "Father, did Minister Jiang complain to you? Although I know something about this matter, I really didn't get involved."

She just gave a few instructions, and it's true that she didn't do anything.

The emperor looked unbelieving, glanced at Su Xinyi, and said slowly, "Then I will give you a chance to get involved, you can do it. Jiang Aiqing is really pitiful. His son's leg was broken in order to refuse the marriage."

Su Xinyi froze, looked at His Majesty and said quietly: "Father, if this marriage is really cancelled, how do you let your daughter-in-law explain to the Queen Mother?"

Isn't this putting her on the spot?

"I see that you and the Queen get along well, so this matter is probably not difficult for you." The emperor looked at Su Xinyi's dark face and felt happy all of a sudden.

What else could Su Xinyi say? She had to accept it.

"My daughter-in-law obeys your order. I will definitely handle this matter well." Su Xinyi said with a forced smile, but she was thinking that she had been working hard to improve the Queen's favor and lay the groundwork for the marriage between the two families. She told the Queen a lot of pros and cons for the marriage between the two families. Now that she took over openly, the Queen would not kick her out all of a sudden.

His Majesty is really shrewd. He sympathizes with the fate of his ministers, but lets her go out to take the blame.

He is really the prince's biological father.

What can she do.

Fortunately, she is smart and always likes to leave a way out for herself when doing things.

Look, isn't it used now?

Su Xinyi just couldn't figure it out. It would be better for the Queen to come forward for this kind of thing. Why would His Majesty let her do it?

Even if she knew more about this matter, or said that she did something, she was only the Crown Princess, and there was still the Queen in the harem.

Is it because Yan Qiongsi made His Majesty unhappy?

After thinking about it, there is only this point. If this is the case, Su Xinyi's heart trembles. If His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Queen, Concubine Li will rise with the tide. This is not the situation she wants to see.

She has to think of a way.
