430: Uncover the Truth
"Prince Yi?" The Queen looked at Su Xinyi suspiciously, what does this mean?
The Princess of Guangping was stunned at first, then looked at Su Xinyi and said angrily: "What does the Crown Princess mean by this? What is the relationship between our Qiongsi and Prince Yi? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Beijing. You are slandering people, and you really grew up in the countryside..."
"Shut up!" The Queen's forehead throbbed as she looked at her troubled sister.
The Queen knew better than anyone what kind of character Su Xinyi was. Since she dared to say that, she would definitely not say it without evidence.
Her eyes fell on Yan Qiongsi. She looked at her shocked sister again, and finally looked at Su Xinyi who was calm as usual. The Queen's eyes were burning, and her face was no longer relaxed as before.
"Qiong Si, what do you have to say?"
Yan Qiong Si raised her head, met the Queen's eyes, and slowly said: "Aunt, what the Crown Princess said is really ridiculous. I have never met Prince Yi, let alone known him. How could I have any intersection with him? I really don't know what the Crown Princess's intention is to frame me like this. I also want to ask the Crown Princess."
The Queen's heart sank when she heard this. If it were in the past, she would definitely believe her sister and niece, but Su Xinyi's other strengths are hard to say, but she knows that this person never tells lies.
Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, the Queen couldn't help but think of Su Xinyi's several implicit reminders to herself, and her heart was full of disappointment.
She has been fighting with Concubine Li for so many years, and she also spent a lot of effort to support her sister and let her marry the Prince of Guangping, just to have an arm.
What's the result?
After the Queen was furious, she calmed down and looked up at Su Xinyi, "Crown Princess, what do you say?"
Su Xinyi met Yan Qiongsi's eyes, "The princess is very curious? I think you should want to know where Xu Yurong is now, right?"
When mentioning Xu Yurong, Yan Qiongsi's expression really changed slightly. Even if she tried her best to cover it up, how could the Queen, who had been fighting in the harem for a lifetime, not understand it.
"Xu Yurong?" The Princess of Guangping County looked at Su Xinyi, "Why mention her? She divorced Xue Bo a long time ago. She shouldn't have been allowed to enter the house in the first place. She is simply a jinx."
The Queen looked at her sister and still didn't grasp the point. She kept talking about the old things of the past. What else can she expect from her?
Su Xinyi came here to destroy the Princess of Guangping County and her daughter. It was clear from what she said that the Princess of Guangping County was unaware of it. It seemed that if Yan Qiongsi and Prince Yi really had a deal, it was hidden from the family.
"Princess, you should ask your daughter what kind of deal she had with Xu Yurong regarding the hunting grounds." Su Xinyi reminded her.
Princess Guangping looked at Su Xinyi with anger on her face, "What are you talking about? The Ministry of Justice personally inquired about the hunting grounds, but my daughter Qiong Si returned home safely, which shows that she has no problem at all. I think the Crown Princess has ulterior motives. Is she trying to slander others by bringing up these old things? Fortunately, the Ministry of Justice is fair, and it is not the Crown Princess who has the final say."
"Princess, you are right. Under the laws of the court, no one is allowed to break the law knowingly. Let me remind you again, was it Princess Runyi who took the initiative to mention the marriage with the Jiang family?"
Princess Guangping looked at Su Xinyi in surprise. She was right. This marriage was indeed chosen by her daughter.
Facing the surprised face of the Princess of Guangping County, Su Xinyi added, "Aren't you surprised that Princess Runyi fell in love with the Second Young Master Jiang? Logically, they have nothing in common, and the Second Young Master Jiang's personality is not what the Princess likes."
The Princess of Guangping County really didn't think about it carefully. She just thought that the Jiang family had a good family background, and it wouldn't be wronged for her daughter to marry into the family.
Su Xinyi sneered, "It seems that the Princess of the County has to have a good talk with the Princess."
The Princess of Guangping turned to look at her daughter, "Qiong Si, is there really another hidden story behind the Jiang family's marriage?"
"Mother, how can you listen to one-sided words from others..."
"One-sided words? The Princess doesn't seem to know that the Crown Prince has returned to the capital, and the granary case has been finalized. What do you think will be the result?"
"The Crown Princess is really joking. What does the granary case have to do with me? I am just a little girl and don't care about these court affairs. I am not as eager as the Crown Princess."
Listening to Yan Qiongsi's ridicule of her involvement in politics, Su Xinyi smiled and did not take up the topic. Instead, she continued with the previous words: "Except Xu Yurong, I think the Princess hasn't seen her for a long time. Master Minghui, right?"
Yan Qiongsi stared at Su Xinyi, "Crown Princess is really interesting. Master Minghui has nothing to do with me. She is just a nun in the nunnery."
"Yes, the princess is right. It's a pity that this nun has a close relationship with Prince Yi's biological mother."
Yan Qiongsi's expression finally changed at this moment, and his eyes became much sharper. He stared at Su Xinyi closely, "Crown Princess, some words can't be said nonsense."
"You are right. Some people do evil things but ask others not to talk nonsense. It's really funny."
The queen finally understood after hearing this. Master Minghui and Xu Yurong have a relationship with Prince Yi, and her niece also has contacts with these two people, but it can't prove that she has a relationship with Prince Yi.
As for the marriage of the Jiang family, what can it prove?
However, Su Xinyi said that there is a relationship, so there must be a trick she doesn't know.
When the queen thought of this, she felt dizzy. She hadn't noticed anything wrong when His Majesty summoned Prince Yi back to Beijing, but later His Majesty was not very warm to Prince Yi after he arrived in Beijing, and even had a hint of indifference. She guessed that something was wrong.
Later, Su Xinyi secretly reminded her that she should not have too much contact with Prince Yi.
Who knew that she was careful, but what about her family?
If Qiong Si really had a good relationship with Prince Yi...
The queen's mind was jumping, and for a moment she felt that her mind was blank.
Su Xinyi had said everything she should say, and it depended on what the queen would do.
She naturally couldn't interfere in the queen's family affairs, so she stood up and said goodbye.
"Is the Crown Princess afraid?" Seeing Su Xinyi was about to leave, the Princess of Guangping County thought that she must have framed her daughter, otherwise why would she run away?
The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said directly: "The prince has just returned to Beijing. There must be a lot of things in the East Palace that need your attention. You should go back first."
Su Xinyi ignored the Princess of Guangping and left with a smile. As soon as she left, the queen's face immediately darkened, and she looked at Yan Qiongsi with a pair of eyes, "Qiongsi, let me ask you, do you have any contact with Prince Yi?"
"Aunt, don't listen to the slanderous words of the princess. How could I have any contact with Prince Yi?" Yan Qiongsi replied immediately.
The queen looked at Yan Qiongsi and didn't want to deny it directly, and didn't even think about it seriously before answering her.
Until this moment, the queen calmed down.
As soon as her son returned to Beijing, he went to the Jiang family to ask for punishment. Concubine Li stared at them mother and son with a covetous look. She was cautious in the palace. Qiongsi was still young before and didn't understand the hardships here.
But now?
Until this moment, she still denied it.
The queen regretted it very much. She had been too tolerant and fond of Shang Junyan for so many years. She felt that it was probably related to Shang Junyan.
She knew that Qiong Si liked Shang Junyan and had hoped that she could ask His Majesty for permission. However, the marriage between the two princely mansions in the capital was backed by her, the queen, and the Guangping princely mansion. What would His Majesty think?
Did he think that she, the queen, wanted to win over the court officials?
Given Qiong Si's reputation for pursuing Shang Junyan, what benefits would she get after marrying him?
She said all the good and bad things at that time, but what did she get in return?
What she got in return was that her niece went behind her back and joined forces with the King of Yi, whom His Majesty disliked and hated.
She still denied it until now, which was what disappointed the queen the most.
Suddenly, she didn't want to say anything.
At this point, she knew that it was useless for her to say anything.
Her niece wouldn't listen.
"Qiong Si, your aunt has loved you for so many years and has also protected the Guangping County Prince's Mansion. You have to think clearly about how to go in the future. It doesn't matter if you are tired, you have to think about your parents and your brother."
"Sister, how can you say that? Qiong Si said it has nothing to do with Prince Yi, why don't you believe her and believe Su Xinyi's instigation..."
"I'm tired." The queen waved her hand to stop her sister from continuing, "You go back too."
Until now, I haven't heard my sister say a word to worry about Prince Rong. Who is going to the Jiang family to ask for punishment?
The queen got up and walked towards the inner hall. The Princess of Guangping County stared at her sister's back in a daze, then turned her head to look at her daughter.
Yan Qiong Si lowered her eyes and said softly: "Mother, let's leave the palace first."
"Just leave like this?" The Princess of Guangping County frowned. How could this be possible? The matter was not explained clearly. How could Su Xinyi change completely after a few words?
It was obviously not like this before.
Yan Qiongsi walked out, and the Princess of Guangping followed her. On the way out of the palace, the Princess of Guangping thought about it, and then her expression changed again and again.
After getting on her own carriage, she looked at her daughter and asked, "Tell me the truth, do you have any contact with Prince Yi?"
Yan Qiongsi got on the carriage, and her face was finally no longer tense. Hearing this, she looked at her mother, "What if there is, what if there is not?"
The Princess of Guangping felt like thunder and lightning, and she stretched out her hand to hit her, but after all, she was her beloved daughter, so she couldn't do it. She gritted her teeth and said, "How can you do this? Your aunt said not to have anything to do with Prince Yi, why don't you listen to it?"
Yan Qiongsi sneered, "Auntie is right. Listen, you treated me like a daughter. It was my aunt who forced me not to marry Shang Junyan. Have all these mothers forgotten? "
"You are talking nonsense. It is obvious that Shang Junyan has no interest in this marriage. How can you say it is your aunt's fault?"
"Mother, what if this matter is changed to Prince Rong? Do you think your aunt will ask for grace from His Majesty for Prince Rong?" Yan Qiongsi's voice was cold, "I think you can guess that your aunt loves your cousin so much, she will definitely go, right?"
The Princess of Guangping County wanted to say how can you compare with your cousin, he is not only the son of the Queen, but also the son of His Majesty.
How can they be the same?
But seeing her daughter's sad expression, the Princess of Guangping County could not say anything, and only said: "You should quickly sever your relationship with Prince Yi, and wait until the matter of breaking off the engagement with the Jiang family is out of the spotlight. Mother will definitely choose a good marriage for you and marry you off in a grand manner."
"I won't marry!" Yan Qiongsi's eyes were filled with flames, "I won't marry anyone except Shang Junyan. Mother, Prince Yi said that he would help me marry Shang Junyan."
"How can you believe what he says?" Princess Guangping slapped her daughter hard, "This is really crazy. You believe him just by opening his mouth?"
Yan Qiongsi closed his mouth when he heard this and simply said nothing.
The princess of Guangping County is really panicking now. What should I do?
She suddenly lost her opinion and thought about talking to her husband, but then she remembered that her husband's career was not going well because of her daughter, and the relationship between the couple was not very good now. How should she talk about this?
The princess of Guangping County racked her brains to think of how to fill in this matter. On the other hand, Su Xinyi got a letter from Zhu Chanyi, which reassured her that she took Prince Rong home.
Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, King Rong had married a good wife.
She was just relieved when her mother came to pick up the two children.
The fourth lady saw her daughter smiling and said, "His Royal Highness is back, you can feel more relaxed."
Su Xinyi first asked someone to take care of the two children and asked the mother to sit down. Then she smiled and said, "Why are you here now? I was thinking of sending them back tomorrow."
The fourth lady looked at her daughter lovingly, "Your eldest aunt said that His Highness has a lot to do when he returns to Jingdong Palace, so I won't let you worry about this little thing. Besides, your eldest sister and brother-in-law are coming soon, and they will definitely want to see their children when they come back."
"Any news?" Su Xinyi asked with a smile.
"The house has just received your eldest sister's letter, which will arrive the day after tomorrow." The fourth lady smiled, "Now everyone feels at ease, and your second sister-in-law wants to thank you, but it's not a good time to come to see you. "
Su Xinyi said: "The Zhao family is also responsible for our family, and it is right to do this. You tell the second sister-in-law not to be so polite, and we will be a family from now on."
"When I get back, I will convey this to your second sister-in-law, as well as to Aunt Weng. Your third aunt has already asked people to clean up the yard where Aunt Weng used to live. I think Aunt Weng may be returning home soon. , is the matter over there almost over?"
Su Xinyi was quite surprised. She didn't expect that it was her third aunt who asked her to take care of her. As soon as her mind changed, she responded to her mother's words, "It should be soon. If the fifth sister cooperates, the Weng family won't be able to cause trouble."
The main thing is to see if we can get evidence about King Yi from the Weng family. If there is, it would be the best. Lu Minglin took over the granary case and wanted to use it to determine King Yi. It is not easy to commit the crime, so we can only find other evidence.
"It's best if things end as soon as possible and everyone can live peacefully." The fourth lady said, "By the way, I received a message from Pingjing County Prince's Palace. The old princess of Pingjing County Prince's Palace is celebrating her birthday. You asked me to go Not going?”
Su Xinyi's face darkened slightly. What did the merchant want to do?
