435: Killing without Bloodshed

The prince's prediction was correct. Yuanhui Palace did invite Su Xinyi over.

When Su Xinyi saw the queen, she could clearly see that she looked haggard, and there was a kind of thought between her eyebrows that she could not see clearly.

The queen at this moment was somewhat similar to the queen in her previous life.

She cheered up.

"Daughter-in-law greets mother." Su Xinyi stepped forward to greet her.

The queen waved her hand, "Sit down."

Su Xinyi sat down, and Zhao Ma immediately served tea, smiling and saying, "Crown Princess, this is made for you by the small kitchen specially made by the queen."

Su Xinyi was pregnant, so she was very careful about what she ate. The tea served was called tea, but it was actually the daily warm tea prescribed by the imperial physician at the Imperial Hospital.

Su Xinyi took a sip and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, mother."

The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said, "It's all thanks to you that Prince Rong was helped. If it weren't for you, I don't know what kind of trouble would have happened this time."

Su Xinyi thought about it and said, "I just talked a lot, but it was still the seventh brother's wife who had to work hard. Fortunately, the seventh brother is much more stable than before, otherwise no one could persuade him with his temper. The seventh brother still respects the mother, and he took your words to heart."

Anyway, Su Xinyi was just praising, praising Prince Rong for his progress, praising Zhu Chanyi as a daughter-in-law for her dedication, and praising the queen as a mother for her great support. The queen must not feel embarrassed in front of her, otherwise she would definitely not want to see her in the future.

Seeing that the queen's expression had indeed eased, Su Xinyi heard the queen sigh first, and then said, "I have something to ask you."

"Mother, please tell me." Su Xinyi spoke very sincerely.

"Have you heard the rumors about Qiong Si?"

Su Xinyi thought that it was indeed because of this matter, and she showed some embarrassment on her face, and then said: "Mother, do you know about it too?"

The queen's face was not very good.

Madame Zhao immediately explained to the Crown Princess, "Today, Concubine Li came to pay respects and mentioned it."

Su Xinyi understood instantly, what did she mean by mentioned? Concubine Li must have ridiculed the queen with this matter, wanting to anger her and stimulate the queen to do something bad.

Su Xinyi's expression suddenly became serious, and she looked at the queen and said: "Mother, you must be cautious about Concubine Li's words."

The queen looked at Su Xinyi with a complicated expression, and then said helplessly: "So I asked you to ask."

Who can she ask about this matter?

Ask Zhu Chanyi, the daughter-in-law? The queen knew the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law very well. Zhu Chanyi was afraid that she would only report good news but not bad news. Ask her son? That's even more impossible. Do you think her son hasn't caused enough trouble?

After thinking about it, I can only ask Su Xinyi, after all, they are in the same boat.

Su Xinyi looked at the queen with a face that was difficult to describe, "Mother, I am a straightforward person. Some of the things I say may not be pleasant to hear, but I mean well. Just listen to them casually and don't forget them."

Queen:...

You have said all the good and bad things, what else can she say?

"You say it, I don't blame you."

"Mother, the last time the Princess of Guangping County and Princess Runyi came to the palace, I know you have tried your best to persuade them, and your daughter-in-law also said it clearly that day, but look at what the princess did? She met with the Princess of Yi in private."

At this point, Su Xinyi sighed again, "In fact, before this incident was exposed, Princess Runyi went to the house rented by the subordinates of Prince Yi, and this incident happened to be seen by others. I was afraid that you would be sad and angry if something happened, so I suppressed the matter."

"There is also this matter?" This time the queen really didn't know.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, I dare not say anything nonsense about such things."

The queen's face was uncertain, and her chest rose and fell obviously, obviously she was very angry.

Madame Zhao advised: "My queen, anger is harmful to your health, you should take care of yourself."

Su Xinyi also said: "Yes, mother, my seventh brother has just got married, and he will give you grandchildren in the future. You have to take good care of the children. I think you have done your best for Princess Runyi. You have been involved in many things for her. Even if you are her aunt, you have done enough. Since Princess Runyi insists on stepping into the mud pit, I have something unpleasant to say. If you pull her hard again , It's not impossible, but I'm afraid that my seventh brother will really be dragged into the water. "

"Yes, Madam, the Crown Princess is right, you have to think about His Royal Highness Rong. Fortunately, you reacted quickly to His Royal Highness Rong's visit to the Jiang family this time, otherwise it's hard to say what the result would be. Concubine Li has been watching, otherwise she wouldn't have said such words in front of you today. Madam, think twice. "

Su Xinyi felt that Madam Zhao was really loyal. She dared to say such words. She was really not afraid of being resented by the Princess of Guangping County and her daughter.

The queen leaned against the soft pillow somewhat dejectedly, then looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Xinyi, this time the matter of Prince Yi..."

Su Xinyi shook her head, "Mother, I don't ask a word about the important affairs of the court."

The queen sighed, "I know, I heard that the prince intends to let Prince Rong return to the inner court?"

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, "The inner court is indeed busy this year. Although Huang Zhongsheng is the eldest, he is still the seventh brother as the chief steward. If the emperor knew that the seventh brother neglected his duties, she could still explain it now that she has just returned for a few days, but in a few days, I am afraid that Concubine Li will take action."

The queen knew that she couldn't have it both ways, so she sighed lightly, "Then let's do it this way, detain him in the inner court."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief and detained Prince Rong. This meant that the Queen was shocked and decided to abandon the Princess and her daughter of Guangping County.

It's so refreshing.

As long as the Queen no longer helps, Yan Qiongsi will never be able to tremble again.

King Yi knew that Yan Qiongsi had no use value, so he didn't know what he would do.

The queen did not embarrass Su Xinyi. Even though she knew that Su Xinyi and Yan Qiongsi were not on good terms, at least Su Xinyi did not do anything excessive on the surface. As for whether he was adding fuel to the flames in private, she could not determine without evidence.

However, she knew that Su Xinyi must have done something, but now she could only turn a blind eye. At least Su Xinyi and the prince had good intentions towards her son.

People always have to make choices.

She understood this truth soon after she took the post.

Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace. Aunt Zhao helped the queen into the inner hall. Seeing that the queen was not in a good mood, she didn't know how to persuade her.

The queen sat on the big couch by the window, leaning on the soft pillow, and then said softly: "Mommy, do you think I did something wrong? I shouldn't have indulged Jones like this, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. situation."

Aunt Zhao's heart was trembling, and she immediately said: "Mother, how can you think like this? Your Highness, Prince Rong, is still your biological child, and you raised him in this way. His Highness has never done anything to embarrass you. What a disrespectful old slave. If your Highness encounters something that embarrasses you, he would rather embarrass yourself than really make you feel uncomfortable. But what about the princess and the princess? I feel aggrieved for you, as long as I think about you. With your current situation in the palace, they can't cause you any trouble like this."

The thing that the queen cared about most was exposed by Aunt Zhao's words, and this was what made her most sad.

Aunt Zhao was afraid of going wrong, so she refused to go on to say anything wrong with the Princess of Guangping County and her daughter. Instead, she said with a smile: "I think the Princess is right. Now that His Highness has returned to Beijing, maybe next year Your Majesty will be able to hold your grandson, and you will be busy by then."

Think more about your own children and forget about other people’s.

Dog meat cannot stick to sheep. This has been true since ancient times. Just understand it.

The queen also smiled and said, "Mommy, I really tried my best, they don't blame me."

"Mother, why do you think so? I can only be grateful to anyone else." Aunt Zhao said hurriedly.

The queen smiled, did not speak again this time, and waved her hand to Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao bent down and retreated, and spat in the direction of Guangping County Prince's Mansion under the eaves.

The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, and the end of the new year is the busiest time in the capital. Unexpectedly, things about King Yi were exposed one after another, especially the private meeting between Princess Runyi and Princess Yi after Yan Ling's complaint. The matter also spread like wildfire, and soon after it was revealed that King Yucheng Xiang was forced to marry You Xiangzhe, and it was Yan Qiongsi's handiwork, and the matter suddenly exploded.

Yan Qiongsi was pushed to the forefront, and life as her direct aunt, the Queen, became a bit difficult. Everyone knew that the Queen loved her niece as her own daughter.

As things progressed step by step, Su Xinyi clearly felt that something was not right. Where was Xu Yurong?

What happened at the hunting ground was that Xu Yurong and Yan Qiongsi teamed up. Why are they now targeting Yan Qiongsi, while Xu Yurong seems to have disappeared?

Yan Junchu returned to the East Palace after a busy day. After listening to Su Xinyi's confused words, he explained to her: "Master Li took action. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to push the queen down, so they talked about preparing Yan Qiongsi."

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, "I should be able to think of it. What does King Rong think now?"

"Him?" Yan Junchu snorted, "I probably still think Taishi Li and others are going too far."

Su Xinyi:......

Faced with Xin Yi's look, Yan Junchu smiled, "But fortunately there is still hope. What Yan Qiongsi did did really hurt King Rong this time. If it had been before, he would have made a fuss about saving people, but this time he didn't do anything. "

Su Xinyi said: "What you do now is what you make wrong. It concerns the Queen. Naturally, King Rong has to carefully consider it. If he saves Yan Qiongsi, what will happen to the Queen? Given what Yan Qiongsi is doing now, it should not only be Taishi Li who takes action, but also Jiang Shangshu. I'm afraid they will also help, after all, my son has a broken leg."

King Rong is not really stupid. In the current situation, the only way to save the queen is to cut off one arm. If King Rong still makes trouble to save Yan Qiongsi at this time, I am afraid that he will really anger the courtiers and His Majesty, and the queen's situation will be even more difficult.

"Don't worry, I will let Jiang Mopan throw Xu Yurong out, and then let out the Li family's plan to get Li Ji back to the capital with the help of King Yi. Then the Li family will have no time to take care of themselves and will not have time to pursue the queen. Fight, once the two sides are balanced, King Yi will not be able to fish in troubled waters, and he will not be able to escape this time. "

"When will the Weng family come forward?"

"After King Yi comes to the surface, not only the Weng family's affairs, but also the granary case must be taken forward at the same time. We must not allow King Yi to retreat."

"Didn't Lu Minglin take over the granary case?"

"That's what I said, but when it comes to several counties in the south, Lu Minglin is very loyal, but other people still have to try their best to atone for their crimes in order to protect themselves. This gives us an opportunity."

Su Xinyi understood that His Highness the Crown Prince must have secretly persuaded the magistrates of several prefectures and counties in Yuning and Cangnan to come forward and testify.

Just thinking about this, Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Zeng Zhifu is really thoughtful. He sits firmly in Huiqi's position, controls the contact between Huishan, Nanshang, Yuning and Cangnan, and withstands Lu Minglin's threats. He even got a letter that is suspected to be written by Lu Minglin to King Yi."

"Really?" Su Xinyi asked in surprise.

"It's hard to say whether the letter is true or not, but it is on the way to the capital and will probably arrive tomorrow night. If the letter is true, Lu Minglin died in vain."

Su Xinyi thought that this was a fatal blow to her sister-in-law's father. No wonder His Majesty asked him to stay in Huiqi's territory without moving. Ordinary people really can't stand this place.

If you think about it this way, is it possible that His Majesty has long been on guard against Suizhou, otherwise Zeng Zhifu would not have been able to do nothing for more than ten years.

Thinking about it this way, Su Xinyi felt that there was a lot of room for improvement in King Yi's affairs.

She looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid that you won't be able to stop writing before the New Year this time."

Last year, His Majesty stopped writing at this time, and the court officials all went home to enjoy the New Year holiday and have a good holiday. However, this year, Yan Ling's complaint to the emperor delayed the time of stopping writing. Now such a big thing has happened. If it is not resolved in the court, I'm afraid that there will be no stopping writing.

So, His Royal Highness the Prince really asked Yan Ling to stand up, intending not to stop writing before the New Year and not to give King Yi a chance to breathe.

Yan Junchu didn't notice Xinyi's eyes, thinking about tomorrow's affairs, and suddenly raised his head and said: "Go to the Queen tomorrow, call Princess Rong, don't give Concubine Li an opportunity to take advantage of it, and try your best to appease the Queen to be patient for a day or two."

"Okay, leave it to me." He smiled at this, "Your Highness asked me to bring my seventh brother's wife, is it because Duke Zheng wants to do something?"

Yan Junchu was happy, "You can guess this?"

"I just asked casually." Su Xinyi said.

Yan Junchu smiled and nodded, "Duke Zheng has been keeping an eye on Master Huiming for so long, it's time to let her out for some fresh air."

Su Xinyi was silent. Once Master Huiming showed up, Prince Yi would be really restless. She sighed, "It's a pity that Master Huiming refused to speak up. It would be great if she could testify."

Yan Junchu laughed when he heard this, "Why does she need to speak up? As long as she is alive and can stand up, she will have made a contribution."

Su Xinyi thought to herself when she heard this, I'm afraid that Huang Zhongsheng and his men will give His Highness some ideas to kill people without bloodshed.
