446: Chasing Back Jie Jinglüe

Su Xinyi's suggestion not only moved the Queen, but also made Zhu Chanyi excited. That's right, they can also cause trouble for the Li family. Why didn't they think of it before?

Zhu Chanyi thought more and more that it made sense. She looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "If the Queen Mother wants to intervene in Li Qingyi's affairs, it would be too obvious, wouldn't it?"

She has a legitimate reason.

"Seventh brother's wife has a point. Indeed, it is not appropriate to ask rashly." Su Xinyi nodded slightly and turned to look at the Queen Mother. "Mother, what if Madam Li Er comes to you to appeal for her daughter's grievances?"

The Queen Mother looked at Xinyi after hearing this, "Madam Li Er may not dare to do so. Li Taishi is still alive."

"My daughter-in-law can give it a try. If Madam Li Er is willing to redress her daughter's grievances, as long as you, the Queen Mother, can take care of it, this matter will be a matter of course." Su Xinyi said.

Zhu Chanyi said hesitantly: "If Madam Li Er really does this, Master Li Er will not be able to pass it."

"That's what Madam Li Er has to do. As long as she is willing to pave a way for her daughter, we will give her this opportunity."

Other matters related to the internal affairs of the Li family are naturally resolved by Madam Li Er herself.

"You are right. This palace can't sit idly by when something like this happens. As long as Madam Li Er comes to complain, I will naturally support her." The queen breathed a sigh of relief. This time, I don't think she will make Concubine Li angry.

As long as she thought about it, the queen felt that even if there were some risks in this matter, she was willing to do it.

The queen was in a good mood, so much so that during the lunch, Concubine Li frowned and looked over frequently, but it was a pity that the queen didn't even look at her, and only talked to Concubine Qi Xianfei and Concubine Ruan Mingfei.

Concubine Li was so angry that her face turned black, but she couldn't get angry. She had to hold her breath and couldn't help but guess that the queen had encountered something good.

During the lunch, His Majesty was in the Purple Palace with several princes, and the Queen was in the harem with her female relatives. Zhu Chanyi sat next to Su Xinyi. The two of them were very supportive of the Queen during the meal, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Tu Jingjia has always been a calm person. She sat next to Concubine Qi, well-behaved and polite, and would occasionally answer a sentence or two thrown by the Crown Princess. Concubine Qi was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Especially seeing that Concubine Li and her mother-in-law were very angry, and Concubine Ruan Ming had a stiff atmosphere between her and her mother-in-law, in comparison, she felt that her daughter-in-law was not as good as the Crown Princess and Princess Rong, but she was also very good.

Ji Yun didn't eat a few bites of food throughout the meal, and didn't say a word of praise. She had a wooden face, as if someone owed her hundreds of dollars. Concubine Ruan Ming used to cover up in front of everyone and give this daughter-in-law some face, but today she really didn't give her any face at all. She didn't say a word to Ji Yun during the whole banquet. The cold atmosphere between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was really not suppressed by strong liquor.

After the lunch, the queen asked everyone to leave. Looking at Su Xinyi, she kindly told her, "You are pregnant. Don't run back and forth these days. Just stay in the East Palace to take care of your baby."

There are many palace banquets this year, and the queen can be regarded as giving Su Xinyi special care. Su Xinyi immediately stood up to thank the queen. The close relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law made Li Guifei so angry that she couldn't stay any longer. She took You Xiangru and left.

The queen didn't care about Li Guifei. She sent everyone away, leaving only Ruan Mingfei to talk.

Ruan Mingfei's heart was beating. When there was no one in the palace, she looked at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, I..."

The queen waved her hand, and Ruan Mingfei swallowed the rest of her words. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

The queen sighed softly as she looked at Ruan Mingfei's obviously thinner figure, "Mingfei, you have been in the palace for so many years, and I have always been worry-free. I know this matter has made you embarrassed."

Ruan Mingfei's eyes were red, "Your Majesty, thank you for your understanding. You know I really have no choice. It's not that I don't understand my daughter-in-law Ji Yun, nor that I hate her, but the things she did... I am really scared. Your Majesty, what do you think I should do about this matter?"

"Mingfei, I'm telling you the truth, you can't help it either. Knowing that Qiong Si is also involved in the affairs of Prince Yi, even I dare not protect her now. If she really violates the law of the country, I can only let the court deal with it fairly. As for Ji Gang, I am afraid that Ji Gang's current affairs will have a result in a few days. At that time, it depends on whether Princess Wu is involved. If she is really involved, I hope you can figure out what to choose at that time, just like me. "

The expression on Ruan Mingfei's face was stunned. She was about to ask for clarification, but she saw the queen waved at her with a little fatigue.

Ruan Mingfei had to get up and leave. After leaving Yuanhui Palace, her mind was full of the queen's words just now. So what would the queen choose? It sounds like she is on the side of the court law, so what is the queen hinting at?

Ruan Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, and her pace couldn't help but speed up a bit. When she returned to Chunze Palace, she immediately asked someone to watch in the front hall, and invited people over when the king of Wu came out.

The banquet in Zichen Hall was to be held later. Concubine Ruan Ming waited for half an hour before her son arrived. Seeing that her son looked calm, she breathed a sigh of relief. Smelling the alcohol on his body, she hurriedly asked someone to bring the prepared sobering tea.

The King of Wu drank the sobering tea and looked at his mother and said, "You asked your son to come here. Is there anything you want to ask?"

Concubine Ruan Ming said distressedly, "Yes, there is something, but why did you drink so much? Take care of your body."

"Don't worry, mother, he didn't drink much. My son is very clear-headed." King Wu smiled.

Looking at her son's smiling face that was uglier than crying, Concubine Ruan Ming felt heartbroken. She sighed slightly and then said, "What else can my concubine do to you? Since Mrs. Zhou is pregnant, you need more Just take care of her, she's carrying your child too."

King Wu was silent, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother and concubine, my son knows what's going on."

"Concubine Mother knows that you are different from Ji Yun, but do you think Ji Yun looks like he wants to live a good life with you? Which of the royal princesses is as perfunctory as she is? Today I am in Yuanhui Palace When attending the banquet, she kept a straight face throughout the banquet, and none of the other princesses spoke. It can be seen that she usually doesn't think about sharing the burden for you. Princess Xiang's reputation has become like that, but today she is not affected by Li. When the imperial concubine saw her, she took the initiative to talk to the princess and the others. My dear, it’s a good thing that the empress is so generous. Otherwise, wouldn’t she be blamed?”

King Wu's face was grave. He knew what his mother and concubine meant, so he pursed his lips and said, "Let her be."

"How can you let her go? You haven't thought about it. If the Ji family is really involved with King Yi, do you think your wife can get away?" Ruan Mingfei was a little anxious, "You can't just have this daughter-in-law, you also have to take her place. Mother and concubine, think about it. If you focus on protecting her, if you anger your father, how will you let me behave in the palace? "

When King Wu heard this, he wiped his face vigorously and said, "Concubine, have you heard anything?"

"If Ji Yun is really a good person, my concubine will definitely help you protect her, but you know better than me how she treats you, and whether there is anything going on between her and Prince Yi's Mansion. I think you are not a fool, and my concubine will not ask for anything. Otherwise, I just ask her not to cause trouble to you. It’s not easy for a mother-in-law to raise you like this in the palace. As a mother, she naturally hopes that her son will be safe and sound. "

After hearing this, King Wu knew that Ji Gang would definitely not be able to fish him out, and maybe Ji Yun would also get involved. His mother-in-law wanted him to think about it beforehand and be prepared.

Seeing the desolate look on his mother-in-law's face, her eyes looking at him, as if she had countless things she wanted to say but couldn't, he felt really uncomfortable.

No one knows better than him how his mother and concubine came to be here all these years.

King Wu stood up suddenly, "Mother, my son knows what to do, don't worry."

Concubine Ruan Ming felt relieved when she heard her son's words. She stood up and walked to her son. Then she looked at him and said softly: "Don't blame me for being cruel. Concubine only has a son like you, so naturally you are the most important thing in everything."

"Son, I know, you should rest early, I will go back first."

"Go ahead."

Concubine Ruan Ming looked at her son's leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief, finally removing the big stone.

***

In the East Palace, Su Xinyi finally met Mu Xing, but she did not expect that Mu Xing would come to see her at this time.

When she saw him, Su Xinyi was surprised. He was followed by Wu Shun. Why did these two people get together?

Mu Xing and Wu Shun came forward to greet them, and Su Xinyi asked them to stand up and talk.

Seeing that Mu Xing looked good, she smiled and said, "It seems that he has recovered well from his injuries at Zeng Liang's place. Now that you have found out your conscience, you have come back to admit your mistake?"

Mu Xing:......

He knew he couldn't avoid this.

Still with a dull face, he stretched out his hand to push Wu Shun forward.

Wu Shun:......

Su Xinyi's eyes fell on Wu Shun, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Wu Shun hadn't seen the Crown Princess for a long time. Since he had a vivid memory of the first time they met and fought, he felt particularly nervous every time he saw the Crown Princess.

"To return to the Crown Princess, I have something to report to you."

"Tell me what it is." Su Xinyi couldn't think of anything Wu Shun could ask her about.

"It's not my matter, it's something that Uncle Dong Li asked his subordinates to convey to him," Wu Shun replied.

Dong Libo?

"Did Uncle Dong Li ask you for help?" Su Xinyi asked curiously.

When Dongli Prince's Mansion became Dongli Bo Mansion, Wu Shun was the first to light the fire. Jiang Mopan always retaliates, and Wu Shun will definitely appear repeatedly in his little book of revenge.

As a result, Jiang Mopan now asked Wu Shun to deliver a message to her?

This... I really didn't expect it.

"Yes." Wu Shun nodded.

"Then what do you want to say first?" Su Xinyi said.

Wu Shun paused for a moment and then said: "Dong Libo asked his subordinates to tell the Crown Princess that he found a roster from Xu Yurong and asked his subordinates to pass it on to you."

After Wu Shun finished speaking, he took out a thin booklet and handed it over with both hands.

Forsythia stretched out her hand to take it, turned around and handed it to the Crown Princess.

Su Xinyi took it. The book was very thin, with only five or six pages, and the cover was blank. She reached out and opened a page, and saw that there were more than a dozen names written on it, but she didn't recognize any of them. When she turned back, there were More detailed information about these people, such as where each person is from and what they are doing. In addition, the last column also indicates where the work is done.

Su Xinyi looked at the names of teahouses and wineries scattered around, and couldn't help but think of the former shopkeeper of Yubaozhai. Her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Wu Shun, "Does Uncle Dongli have anything else to say?"

"Uncle Dong Li said that it was not easy to find the booklet, and it was not convenient for him to hand it to His Highness the Crown Prince in public, so he asked his subordinates to send it to you."

Su Xinyi chuckled, it was true that the prodigal son had turned back. Jiang Mopan, who had all the five poisons at the time, was doing things really differently now.

"I know about this matter. I will give this book to His Highness the Crown Prince. You go and reply to Uncle Dong Li to reassure him."

Wu Shun hurriedly bowed in response, then turned around and pushed it down.

Mu Xing watched Wu Shun walk away cleanly, and was silent for a moment, suppressing the thought of retreating with him. He still wanted to keep his legs.

Su Xinyi put the book away, and then looked at Mu Xing, "You and Jie Jinglue were really so powerful at the beginning. You said you were missing and disappeared, which was clean and neat."

Mu Xing knew that he was in the wrong in this matter, and he coughed lightly and said, "The situation was urgent at that time, and it was impossible to spread the news. Moreover, Lu Minglin personally led people to hunt us down. In order to avoid being seen, we released the news that we were seriously injured and hiding. In fact, although we were indeed injured, it was not serious."

"As long as the person is not dead, it is not serious for you."

Mu Xing was confronted, he coughed lightly, and then said, "Fengping Guard was escorting a batch of official grain at that time. I just got some news and wanted to chase them to see, but I didn't expect to alert the enemy."

Su Xinyi was stunned, " Escorting official grain? When did Fengping Guard have this job? "

"It is the grain that was taken out from the granary and sent out in the name of escorting official grain for the court."

Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing, "Does your highness know about this?"

"I reported this matter after meeting the crown prince. Before that, I also consulted with Commander Jie. It was because Commander Jie knew about this that he pretended to be seriously injured and hid, but sent a message to let Fan Chenshi lead his troops to rob military grain, so Lu Minglin bit us like crazy. "

Su Xinyi was silent. No wonder when she first met Jie Jinglue, he was a little vague about the injury. It turned out that he stabbed Lu Minglin in the back. Your highness didn't mention this. I'm afraid he saved face for Jie Jinglue?

It really made me laugh.

She looked at Mu Xing, "Apart from this, is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

Mu Xing answered too quickly, Su Xinyi became suspicious. She carefully looked at his expression and saw that Mu Xing's eyes refused to look at her, so there must be something fishy.

Su Xinyi said "Oh" and said slowly: "I haven't seen old man Zeng for a long time. I asked Zhan Qiao to go to him to wish him a happy new year during the New Year."

There was nothing Zeng Liang couldn't get out of him.

Mu Xing's face turned black. This was a naked threat.

He finally looked at Su Xinyi, took a deep breath, and said: "Does it count if Lu Minglin's sister pursues Jie Jinglue?"

Hmm?
