451: This Is More than Just Shameless

This year was destined to be difficult. The prince took action one after another, making King Yi's situation suddenly fall into a passive position.

In addition, there is another thing that people cannot ignore, that is, the Li family, which was dragged out because of Li Ji's incident, was already on the cusp of the storm. But at this time, Mrs. Li Er wanted to sue Mrs. Li. , this time it was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a hot oil pan, and it exploded instantly.

Mrs. Li Er is different from the sociable Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li has always been very low-key, and since Li Ji's accident, the second wife of the Li family has become even more low-key. Even Li Qingyi, a niece who is loved by Concubine Li, has been keeping a low profile. I rarely go out to visit friends when I am in the house.

Didn't everyone feel surprised that the fierce second Mrs. Li suddenly jumped out to sue Mrs. Li?

What's more important is that Mrs. Li did not complain to Concubine Li, but to the Empress, which is even more strange.

Although the Queen Empress and Concubine Li seem to be in harmony on the surface, the two have been having constant undercurrents for more than ten years, and they often fight in private.

So what's going on with the Li family now?

Internal strife?

Or was he incited to rebel?

Opinions abound and suspicions abound.

At this time, Su Xinyi also got the news.

"Your Majesty rarely has free time today and is dining with the Queen in Yuanhui Palace. It was at this time that Mrs. Li handed over the notice of entering the palace and cried in front of His Majesty that Mrs. Li was so crazy that she forced her daughter to marry and wanted to have her Marry a commander who is good enough to be a father to Miss Li. I heard that the commander’s son is older than Miss Li.”

Su Xinyi listened to what Grandma She said and asked, "Just this one thing? This is considered a family matter of the Li family. Even if it is reported to His Majesty, it will be a household dispute at most and of little use."

When Grandma She heard this, she said: "What the Crown Princess said was that Mrs. Li's second wife broke the cauldron and sank the boat. Naturally, this is not the case. This is just the introduction at the beginning."

Su Xinyi understood. Mrs. Li completely lost her mind and wanted to break up with Mrs. Li because her daughter was forced to regret her marriage and marry an old man who was over fifty years old. This reason was reliable and she was strong as a mother.

"Then what?" Su Xinyi asked again.

Now that Mrs. Li Er has boarded the Queen's ship, given the Queen's temperament, if she doesn't give Concubine Li a harsh blow this time, wouldn't she be wasting this opportunity? The Queen will definitely make good use of it.

"In order to seek justice for her daughter, Mrs. Li Er also took out an account book. The account book contained secret accounts that were not discovered when the court raided Li Ji."

Su Xinyi became interested, "Secret account? This is quite interesting. Mrs. Li Er has indeed been prepared for a long time."

"Yes, Princess, you would never have imagined that this secret book is actually related to King Yi."

Su Xinyi was surprised, "Is it related to King Yi?"

"Yes, according to the information obtained by this servant, when Li Ji was sent to prison, the Ministry of Punishment said that some of the accounts were unclear, but Li Ji covered it up because he was old and the accounts were damaged. At that time, Concubine Li Sheng Chong, please plead for Li Ji in front of His Majesty, and the matter will be settled."

Su Xinyi really didn't know so clearly. After Li Ji was imprisoned, she no longer cared about it. Naturally, she didn't know what was going on here. Now when she heard Grandma She mention it, she said suspiciously: "So, that confused person at the beginning It’s not that the accounts are really old and damaged, but there is another reason, and it has something to do with King Yi?”

"Yes, I heard that the salt that was missing from the accounts was given to King Yi privately by Li Ji."

Su Xinyi was startled. Li Ji and King Yi had a secret connection, so King Yi secretly supported King Xiang?

If that's the case, it seems to make sense.

So in the previous life, the plan to have King Rong stand in front of King Xiang should have been a joint effort between Li Ji and King Yi.

King Yi's choice of King Xiang was indeed not random.

Su Xinyi breathed a long sigh of relief. No wonder she had never figured out why King Yi chose King Xiang in his previous life. This was the reason.

"Crown Princess?" Seeing that the Crown Princess didn't look well, Grandma She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It's okay. How will your Majesty handle this matter?" Su Xinyi asked. This is no small matter now.

Aunt She shook her head, "I haven't found out yet."

Su Xinyi was thoughtful, Mrs. Li came to the palace to complain, just in time for His Majesty to have dinner in Yuanhui Palace. This timing must have been the work of the Queen.

Therefore, the Empress's move was very cruel, just to make His Majesty have to face up to the problems of the Li family.

Su Xinyi smiled, and as expected, as long as the Queen Empress let go of the princess and her daughter of Guangping County, she would have no worries when dealing with Concubine Li. This move was not a fatal move, but it was It was very powerful and dealt a heavy blow to Concubine Li.

It depends on how Your Majesty handles it.

Otherwise, the queen's considerateness was very comforting. Su Xinyi only got the news, and then Aunt Zhao came.

Su Xinyi stood up and said with a smile: "Why are you here? But what are your orders?"

Aunt Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to greet the Crown Princess and saluted, and then said: "The Queen asked the old slave to come over and report to the Crown Princess. I am afraid that there are many people in the palace these days. The Crown Princess is pregnant, so just stay here." Please take care of the pregnancy in the East Palace, and wait until you are free for a few days before inviting the Crown Princess to come over and talk."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up. The queen was so kind. She wanted to take it out, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Su Xinyi coughed lightly, looked at Zhao Mama and said with some worry, "I heard that Madam Li Er entered the palace. Is my mother okay?"

Zhao Mama looked at the Crown Princess and heard what the Crown Princess asked. She first said that she knew that Madam Li Er entered the palace to complain, but she didn't ask how the complaint went. She just asked if the queen was okay. She was worried that His Majesty would vent his anger on the queen.

The smile on Zhao Mama's face became more and more sincere, "Don't worry, Crown Princess, the queen is fine, but things are not going well in Zhaoyu Palace."

Su Xinyi understood and said with a smile, "The queen has always been very caring for her family. This time, such a big thing happened, so she is naturally very anxious."

"That's right, the queen asked me to tell you, and let Princess Rong talk to you later."

Huh?

The queen wants Zhu Chanyi to pass on the news to her. It's really an exclusive insider news. Isn't the queen a little too considerate?

Su Xinyi always thought that the queen could sit firmly on the throne, firstly because her family was in decline, and secondly because she was smooth in dealing with things and was not easy to be caught by others, but now it seems that she is a little narrow-minded.

Who doesn't like people who can make people happy by doing things like this?

Su Xinyi looked at Zhao Ma and said seriously: "Ma, please go back and thank my mother for me. I will go to pay my respects to her in a few days."

Zhao Ma smiled and agreed, hesitated for a moment, obviously there was something.

Su Xinyi said: "Ma, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Zhao Ma looked up at the Crown Princess, thought about it and nodded, "Yes, there is one more thing. The queen originally wanted me to tell the Crown Princess in a few days."

Su Xinyi had already vaguely guessed what it was, so she said: "I know Ma's good intentions, just tell me."

Zhao Ma no longer hesitated after hearing this, "There is nothing else, it's just the spring selection, the Crown Princess should have a plan in mind in advance."

It was indeed for this matter.

Su Xinyi looked at Madam Zhao, "Madam, does the Queen Mother have any plans?"

"The Queen is thinking about the Crown Princess. You are pregnant now. The most important thing right now is to give birth to the child safely. Nothing else matters."

Su Xinyi understood that Madam Zhao was telling her that the Queen would not send anyone to the East Palace. "I understand, but I can't make the decision on this matter. It depends on the opinions of the Emperor and His Highness."

Madam Zhao certainly knew that it was not because of the Li family's incident that the Queen Mother was afraid that there would be another setback in the selection of the selection. This is why the Queen Mother asked her to remind the Crown Princess in advance.

"The Crown Princess is right. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."

"Thank you for making this trip, Madam." Su Xinyi smiled and glanced at Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "I will take Madam out."

When they were outside the palace, Lian Qiao took out a thick purse and stuffed it into Madam Zhao's hand. Madam Zhao hurriedly declined, and Lian Qiao said: "Madam treats the Crown Princess very well, and the Crown Princess knows it in her heart."

Madam Zhao accepted it with a smile, looked at Lian Qiao and lowered her voice and said: "Miss Lian Qiao, you still have to remind the Crown Princess that there is only the Crown Princess in the East Palace now, and there are so many people watching. The Queen has blocked everything she can for the Crown Princess, but the rest is up to the Crown Princess herself."

"Thank you for the reminder, Madam. I'll remember it and report it to the Crown Princess."

Madam Zhao smiled and nodded. The people in front of the Crown Princess were all good, so she didn't need to say much, so she walked away.

As soon as Madam Zhao left, Lian Qiao went in and replied, saying with a worried look, "Crown Princess, will there really be a new person coming in at that time?"

Su Xinyi looked at Lian Qiao's expression and said with a smile, "It's hard to say."

"What can we do then?" Lian Qiao thought that what the Crown Princess said made some sense. In addition to the Crown Princess, there will be Liang Di, Cheng Hui and other positions in the Eastern Palace. I dare not say that there should be one or two more.

Su Xinyi was happy, "I'm not anxious, why are you anxious?"

"How can I not be anxious? With your character of not arguing about everything, if someone who is more thoughtful really comes in, then you will be at a disadvantage. I have to think of a solution for you."

"Okay, then you think about it for me first." Su Xinyi was happy.

Lian Qiao: ...

Hey, with the character of their girls, how can they not think more as servants?

The waves caused by Madam Li Er's lawsuit against Madam Li Da were far more serious than Su Xinyi thought. The lawsuit was just a trigger, and the incident of Li Ji secretly transferring salt permits to Prince Yi was the first direct confrontation.

The salt permit case was handled by the crown prince, and now it was turned up again. When the Ministry of Justice reviewed the case, it was found that the crown prince had marked on the case file that some salt permits were missing. Now that they were turned up again, everyone was sweating coldly.

How was the case closed at the time?

First, Li Taishi used his power to run for his son, and second, Concubine Li pleaded for her brother in front of His Majesty.

So the case was closed a little hastily at the time. At that time, everyone thought that the salt permits that were not found were squandered by Li Ji, but who would have thought that they were actually sent to Prince Yi.

Isn't this a bolt from the blue?

One by one, in order to redeem themselves from their crimes, these people wanted to dig up all the things Li Ji had done and examine them again and again, fearing that His Majesty would take out His Majesty's anger on them and put their heads on the line.

Su Xinyi didn't know how panicked the Ministry of Justice was at this time, but she knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not returned to Deyang Palace for three consecutive days, so Su Xinyi stayed in the East Palace for three days without going out.

Then, she waited for Zhu Chanyi to come.

As soon as Zhu Chanyi entered the room, she took off her cloak and handed it to the palace servant. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "It suddenly snowed halfway through the journey. The snow came so fast and suddenly that it really caught people off guard."

Su Xinyi heard her words and said, "Warm yourself up first." Then she handed over a hand warmer.

Zhu Chanyi took it without hesitation, then sat down, looked at Xinyi and said, "It's better for you to stay in the East Palace. There's going to be a big fuss outside."

Su Xinyi immediately became interested because it was related to Concubine Li's affairs. In order to avoid being caught by someone, Su Xinyi would not let anyone take the initiative to inquire about the movements of the harem. Moreover, His Highness has been so busy these days that he has not even seen his shadow. She really doesn't know much about the situation outside.

"Really? Then tell me." Su Xinyi said immediately.

Zhu Chanyi looked at Xinyi and rolled her eyes, "Guess what happened to Madam Li Er after she complained?"

Su Xinyi looked at her, and saw that she was glowing, and it didn't look like Madam Li Er had suffered a big loss. Moreover, she had already informed her family and His Highness in advance, and they would take care of what they should take care of.

However, since it was related to the internal strife of the Li family, they could not help too obviously in case the old fox Li Taishi saw the clues.

"There are only two situations, either Madam Li Da will take on everything, or Madam Li Er will take on everything." Su Xinyi said.

Zhu Chanyi looked at her in astonishment, "You can guess this? How did you expect the Li family to push Madam Li out?"

"It's so obvious. Although Grand Tutor Li is a veteran of three dynasties, you can see that Li Ji has been exiled, and after this setback, he will never be able to return to Beijing in the rest of his life. Master Li Er was disappointed because Grand Tutor Li favored his eldest son, so Madam Li Er complained. In fact, the Li family has been completely divided. At this time, Grand Tutor Li did not do this for his face, for the future of the Li family, or for the imperial concubine in the palace. Whether it's the mother and son of Prince Xiang, one will be pushed out as a scapegoat. Madam Li Er has her husband and children behind her, so it's clear who can be sacrificed. "

Zhu Chanyi admired her very much, "No wonder my grandfather always said that you look like Master Su Si, today I am finally convinced. You are right, Li Taishi personally went to the palace to ask to see Your Majesty, saying that he had no idea what Madam Li did, and also blamed Madam Li for joining forces with Prince Yi. "

Su Xinyi: ...

I still underestimated Li Taishi, this is not only shameless, this is simply shameless.
