407: Danger Signal

Hearing this, the Queen knew that Concubine Li had come with more than ill intentions. She was clearly planning to bring about a storm.

She looked up at Concubine Li, with a smile on her face, a soft voice, and even a look in her eyes. She just sighed gently and said, "Concubine Li, it stands to reason that Prince Xiang is also my child, and I do have to take care of him. But as you can see, I don't interfere with the affairs of Prince Rong's mansion. Let the children solve their own problems. You also have to let Prince Xiang learn to manage his own affairs."

Seeing Concubine Li's expression change slightly, the Queen continued with a sincere look, "Prince Xiang is not young anymore. You see, Prince Jing and Prince Wu both have jobs after they got married, and Prince Xiang is still unemployed. We should take care of him. When will he be able to establish himself in the palace? It's okay for others, but he used to go out with King Jing to do errands. Look at him now? "

Li Guifei was hit in the heart instantly, and looked at the queen and said, "Queen, when Fu Yun came to Beijing, I didn't want her to enter the palace..."

"If I were to say, you shouldn't have stopped this matter at the beginning. King Xiang is a man of temperament, and his lifesaver is not an ordinary woman. The more you stop him, the more he cares. You should let Fu Yun enter the palace openly." The queen said this, thinking that if it was King Rong, she would have to stop him, because Fu Yun's birth was too low.

However, now it was Li Guifei's matter, so she naturally sang a high-profile tone and deliberately made things difficult for Li Guifei.

Wouldn't Li Guifei be angry after hearing this?

But now she couldn't show it in front of the queen, so she had to hold it in and said slowly: "It has happened. Now it has become like this. I really have no choice. I came to ask the queen for help. Please lend a hand."

Li Guifei simply stopped beating around the bush. The queen deliberately beat around the bush with her. She knew it in her heart, so she just pointed it out to see what the queen could do.

The queen glanced at Li Guifei, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly, then said: "Now that the prince of Xiang has married, at least the princess of Xiang has not done anything wrong. Logically, she should be in charge of the affairs of the prince of Xiang's mansion."

Li Guifei thought of You Xiangru, and her heart felt like she had eaten a fly. No matter whether it was You Xiangru or Fu Yun, neither of them suited her mind.

The Queen's move was clearly to use You Xiangru's hand to suppress Fu Yun. She smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. It's time to let go of the child's affairs. I will listen to you this time. Let them handle the affairs of Prince Xiang's Mansion themselves."

The Queen thought that Concubine Li must have the same idea, but she had to say it through her mouth. However, she was not afraid even if these words came to His Majesty, so she picked up the teacup.

After saying that, Concubine Li should leave. It was annoying to see her.

This time, Concubine Li was sensible and got up to leave without staying for long.

After Concubine Li left, Madam Zhao spoke up, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li clearly has some plans, why are you still asking for this? What if she uses it as a handle?"

The Queen turned to look at Madam Zhao, "Look at the mess in the Prince Xiang's mansion, and You Xiangru is from a poor family. Once she gets the Prince Xiang's mansion under her control, she'll have a hard time. Let her fight with Fuyun. As for Concubine Li, no matter what she's planning, I'm being fair. What's there to be afraid of?"

Madam Zhao thought it made sense, so she said, "Your Majesty was so calm before, but now she's in Xiang It is always hard to figure out what to do when it comes to the prince's affairs. If I were to say, Concubine Li is also somewhat responsible for the chaos in the Prince Xiang's Mansion. "

The queen sneered, "Concubine Li, I have been dealing with her for so many years, and I know that she is the most competitive and competitive in her bones. The Prince Xiang is her only son, and she wishes she could control him all the time. Such a person, the more gentle and kind on the surface, the more competitive and paranoid in her bones, let's wait and see."

The queen stopped talking after she finished speaking, and only thought about one thing, whether Concubine Li came to her at this time, would she have other thoughts?

She started with the matter of His Majesty summoning the Crown Princess, but in the end she turned it over roughly, which did not seem to be a provocation, but it also had some meaning.

After thinking about it, the queen could not figure out Concubine Li's true intention, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Whether it was a human or a ghost, there would always be a time to reveal clues.

On the other hand, Su Xinyi was still thinking about the cancellation of the engagement. The Jiang family wished they could cancel the engagement immediately, but the key point was the Prince Guangping's Mansion.

The Queen is behind the Prince Guangping's Mansion. In the final analysis, the problem still lies with the Queen.

Su Xinyi went back to the East Palace and thought about it, then she got up and went to Yuanhui Palace.

Since the Emperor handed the matter over to her, he must have found out that she was fanning the flames. He did not blame her after finding out, but instead handed the matter over to her. This can only mean one thing: His Majesty is really impatient with the Prince Guangping's Mansion, but he does not want to offend the Queen, so he let himself mediate.

Not to mention that Su Xinyi was already in this vortex before, and it was impossible for her to get out. As long as Prince Yi's malice towards the Su family did not decrease, she and him could not live in peace.

Su Xinyi's mind was full of how to tell the Queen about this. She walked slowly forward on the palace road and turned to the intersection leading to Yuanhui Palace. She didn't want to see someone walking towards her. She looked closely and found that it was Ji Yun.

Prince Xiang's wedding lifted her house arrest. Why did she enter the palace again instead of staying in Prince Wu's Mansion?

Ji Yun was in a hurry and didn't expect to meet Su Xinyi here. He stopped for a moment, then recovered and greeted Su Xinyi, "Greetings, Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi listened to her unfamiliar address and nodded with a smile. There were eyes everywhere in the harem. Ji Yun could be rude, but she couldn't. Otherwise, if it got out, her reputation as a crown princess would always be fierce, but she was afraid that it would be bad for His Highness.

"No need to be polite, Third Sister-in-law. Are you going to the palace to pay respects to Concubine Ming?" Su Xinyi asked casually, and she only waited for Ji Yun to answer yes, and then she and her went their separate ways.

But Ji Yun didn't play by the rules. Su Xinyi only heard her say with a smile: "I've always heard mother mention the Crown Princess's care..."

Su Xinyi frowned and interrupted her immediately, "Third sister-in-law, I'm afraid you heard it wrong. The Queen is in the palace, and Concubine Ming has always been a kind person. There is no need for me to take care of her."

Ji Yun looked up at Su Xinyi and was about to speak, but she heard her say again: "I have something else to do here, so I won't chat with you. See you later."

Su Xinyi directly took Lian Qiao's hand and left. This time she didn't give Ji Yun any face at all.

Listen to what she said, Concubine Ruan Ming needs her care, is it dead for the queen?

Or is the queen treating Concubine Ruan Ming harshly?

Besides, this is His Majesty's harem. As a Crown Princess, can she take care of His Majesty's concubine?

Does she think her life is too long?

If she dares to agree, I'm afraid Ji Yun will make a big deal for her and put a big hat on her.

Ji Yun stared at Su Xinyi's back for a long time before turning around and leaving. Her expression remained the same, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were a little more gloomy.

Su Xinyi arrived at Yuanhui Palace, and the queen was busy. As the year was coming to an end, the harem had a lot of things to do, and she couldn't handle it at all.

Su Xinyi entered the palace, and the queen waved to her, "Sit down by yourself, I'll be busy here for a while, and ask someone to bring you a bowl of bird's nest."

Madame Zhao responded quickly and said to Su Xinyi with a smile, "The little teahouse here can make this, and the Crown Princess can use it without worrying about it."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "The little teahouse here didn't make this before, and I'm sorry to trouble you, mother."

Madame Zhao heard that the Crown Princess understood what she meant, and said with a smile on her face, "The queen said that it's not just the Crown Princess, but Princess Rong will also be able to use it in the future, so it's better to prepare it earlier. Crown Princess, please sit down, I'll be back soon."

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, and looked at Yunyan and Yinzhi, each holding a stack of account books. When the queen asked where they were, they quickly explained the matter.

Su Xinyi heard that the queen was checking the accounts of the inner court. Prince Rong went south, and it seemed that the queen was sharing some of the burden for her son. Although Prince Rong had left the capital, he had not been relieved of his duties in the Inner Court. If the accounts of the harem and the Inner Court did not match, Prince Rong would still be the one to suffer.

Nanny Zhao personally brought back the bird's nest soup. The Queen was almost done with her work, so she asked Yunyan and Yinzhi to go downstairs. She took a sip of tea and looked at Su Xinyi and said, "The Inner Court's accounts are well done. Mr. Huang is very capable."

Huang Zhongsheng is the prince's man.

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "My seventh brother is not in Beijing, and I can't help my mother with the affairs now. It's better to let my seventh brother's wife help you."

The queen waved her hand, "That won't work. You are the crown princess, and His Majesty has given an order. If I let Princess Rong intervene, what about the other princesses? At my age now, it's better to have less trouble than more."

After that, the queen looked at Su Xinyi, "You must have something to do when you come here now. What happened?"

Su Xinyi heard that the queen didn't ask a single question about His Majesty summoning her, so she knew that the queen was avoiding suspicion. There was no one else in the palace, only Zhao Ma Ma serving.

She took a bite of the bird's nest soup, sorted out her thoughts, and then said, "Mother, I do have something to tell you."

The queen saw that Su Xinyi's expression was different from the past, so she looked at her and said, "Did someone embarrass you? Who is so bold?"

"That's not the case." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

The queen thought so too. Although Su Xinyi had not done anything out of the ordinary since she married, she was so famous before that most people would not want to provoke her, lest they lose more than they gain.

"That's something else. Tell me." The queen breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay as long as it wasn't a big deal.

"You know that the emperor summoned his daughter-in-law today?"

The queen was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Su Xinyi to take the initiative to talk about this. She said, "You are the crown princess, and you are naturally different from other princesses. It's not strange that His Majesty summoned you."

"Alas." Su Xinyi sighed, "My father summoned my daughter-in-law, but gave her a difficult task. I have no choice but to ask for help from my mother."

Queen: ...

His Majesty also gave Su Xinyi a task?

What does this mean?

"Just do the task that His Majesty gave you." The queen said.

"This matter cannot be done without your approval and help." Su Xinyi's face became even more bitter, as if she had eaten a pound of coptis.

The Queen instantly became interested, "What's the matter? Tell me. I can help you if I can, but what is it that you need my help with? Is there anything you can't do with your ability?"

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, thinking that the Queen was praising her.

The Queen looked at Su Xinyi's expression and laughed, "Okay, I'm just joking with you. Tell me, what problem have you encountered?"

Su Xinyi didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "My father asked me to help the Jiang family cancel the marriage with the Guangping County Prince's Mansion."

"Marriage? What marriage..." The Queen's smile froze, Guangping County Prince's Mansion, Jiang family...

Seeing the sudden change in the queen's expression, Su Xinyi sighed, "Mother, what do you think I should do about this?"

The queen's face turned black, "Why would His Majesty let you do this? Why would His Majesty care about such a small matter?"

Su Xinyi shook her head, "I don't know, but it can be heard by the emperor. I think it must be Lord Jiang who asked my father. After all, the Princess of Guangping is your sister. I think my father doesn't want you to be embarrassed, so he asked me to do it, but I don't have any good way, so I can only ask you."

The queen's face changed again and again. She looked at Su Xinyi, wanted to say something but swallowed it back, and finally took a deep breath, and then said: "I said this marriage was not a good match at the beginning!"

Su Xinyi looked at the queen's expression and thought that this should be sincere, but considering that the queen has loved Yan Qiongsi for many years, Su Xinyi didn't want to test her relationship with the queen.

After all, she and the queen had no blood relationship. After thinking for a while, she said softly: "I'm afraid that my father has already known how this marriage came about. Mother, you have to think carefully about how to deal with this matter. Think about it, it is reasonable that my father should let you do this, but he asked me to do it. I dare not think about it now. There is still a Concubine Li in this palace."

Su Xinyi could not mention Yan Qiongsi and the Princess of Guangping. No matter how bad they were, they were the queen's sister and niece. The queen could say that they were not good, but she could not.

However, it was nothing to mention Concubine Li. Concubine Li had been staring at the queen, wishing that she could catch the queen's handle at any time.

Not long ago, His Majesty went to Zhaoyu Palace to stay overnight, which was also a dangerous signal for the queen.

Sure enough, the Queen's expression was more solemn than before. After a long while, Su Xinyi heard the Queen ask, "What do you think should be done about this matter?"

Su Xinyi shook her head, "I am still young, and I have experienced many things. It is precisely because I have no other choice that I came to ask for your advice. This is related to you and the Princess of Guangping County. I think the best policy is to handle this matter in a decent and thorough manner."
