$452: Eat when You Should, Drink when You Should
"Does Madam Li have the temperament to admit all this?" Su Xinyi thought it was impossible. Judging from the fact that after Li Ji was exiled, Madam Li still controlled the middle son of the Li family, this was not a person who simply gave up.
"Of course not." Zhu Chanyi sneered, "But Mrs. Li also has children."
Looking at Su Xinyi's expression, Zhu Chanyi said: "Mrs. Li would have never imagined that the method she used to control the second wife's children would now be used on herself. Only she can understand the feeling."
Su Xinyi said: "Does that mean Mrs. Li compromised?"
"It's still unclear because Mrs. Li has not come forward to plead guilty, but Li Ji cannot return to Beijing. Mr. Li has a falling out with the Li family. Mrs. Li and her children only rely on Taishi Li, but Taishi Li is already old. Gao, my grandfather said that Mrs. Li should know very well that she doesn’t have much choice. "
Su Xinyi said: "If Mrs. Li could be more lenient and not take things seriously with her second wife, with the honest nature of Mrs. Li and her husband, none of her children would fall to the ground. But now it's hard to say. "
"That's what you're doing." Zhu Chanyi frowned and said, "She actually wants Li Qingyi to marry someone who is about the same age as Mr. Li Er. Don't you think this is heartless? Why doesn't she let her daughter go? What's wrong with her? In the final analysis, Fang’s loss of power is not about reluctance.”
"What you are saying is that no matter whether it is good or bad, you must continue on the path you are on." Su Xinyi understood it deeply.
"I heard that Master Minghui also had some unexpected gains, but the details are not very clear yet. Xin Yi, you said that if Master Minghui also confesses, King Yi really won't be able to stand up this time, right?" Zhu Chanyi said .
Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi, "Is there anyone in the court who can speak for King Yi now?"
"Yes, but it's all roundabout. It's hard to say this kind of thing. For example, the censor may have something to say, but not all of them are secretly related to King Yi. It's difficult to deal with this situation."
"Censor?"
"Yes, some censors mentioned King Lao Yi, saying that King Lao Yi had made great contributions to the imperial government and wanted to take away his merits. Isn't this nonsense? What crime did King Yi commit? Selling national grains and selling salt. , or even interfering in the administration of officials in the surrounding counties of Suizhou. Every one of them is a crime of beheading. How much can you change the death penalty to exile? "
Listening to the deep sarcasm in Zhu Chanyi's words, Su Xinyi asked thoughtfully: "Isn't Princess Yi doing nothing?"
"Oh, you don't know yet?" Zhu Chanyi clapped her hands, "I forgot to tell you, the day after King Yi was invited to leave by the Ministry of Punishments, Princess Yi followed him in. Don't talk about these granaries and Yanyin's government affairs. The big thing is how King Yi murdered Yan Ling, his legitimate son, to win the title of king, which is enough for the Ministry of Punishment to give him a good trial." After saying this, he looked up at Xin Yi, "Yan Ling also went to the Ministry of Punishment, and he was there. King Yi is afraid that he will feel guilty."
Su Xinyi thought about it and said, "How many confessions has King Yi made now?"
"I don't know about this. However, our prince went to the Ministry of Punishment and heard that King Yi had a very tough mouth and it was not easy to pry him open." Zhu Chanyi shook her head and said.
"Didn't Yan Ling say there is sufficient evidence?"
"Then we can only admit that Yan Ling was a loser in the battle for the king's title. What's more, the old King Yi personally applied for the title of King Yi. This is a sure thing. Even if there is an inside story, there is a difference in severity."
Su Xinyi understood. If King Lao Yi had not personally asked for the seal, King Yi would not be so harsh today. Even if it is now found out that there was an inside story about the king's inheritance, the request for sealing the seal is still true. This amount The punishment would not be as severe as she thought before.
No wonder when Yan Ling arrived in the capital before, there was not much movement from King Yi. This was because he was confident.
Zhu Chanyi only knew so much. She mentioned more about the Li family to Xin Yi, and finally mentioned the Ji family in passing.
"Ji Gang pleads guilty. He can't keep his official position. I heard he might be executed."
Su Xinyi was a little surprised, "Wenzhan? He also has a daughter who is a princess. Considering this, maybe he can save his life. However, what did he do for King Yi to reach the point of asking Wenzhan?"
"Selling an official position and getting a title."
"Can Shilang Ji's official position achieve this?" Su Xinyi asked suspiciously.
"I heard from the prince that there is not only one Jigang." Zhu Chanyi shook her head.
Su Xinyi understood that His Highness the Crown Prince was using Ji Gang as bait to fish out all the people behind him.
When His Highness first came back, he told her to take good care of the baby and not to worry about anything, but now he really doesn't let anything bother her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
"Xin Yi, my prince said you asked Mu Xing to go to Fengping Guard?"
"Well, there may be some evidence over there." After saying this, he turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Chanyi. Unexpectedly, King Rong told her all these things. It seems that the relationship between the young couple is getting better and better. This is true. Good thing.
Zhu Chanyi didn't notice Xin Yi's cryptic eyes and said, "That's great. I really feel a headache when I hear the word "Yi Wang" now. I just hope that this matter will be over soon, and everyone will be happy in the future." It’s a bit more relaxing.”
Su Xinyi also felt that it was right. She was in a very good mood now. In the previous life, these things had to happen later. At that time, His Majesty's health was already getting worse, so King Yi had the courage to stretch his hand longer and longer.
The time has come earlier in this life. Your Majesty at least looks healthy now. As long as the hidden danger of Prince Yi is removed, other things will be easy.
"By the way, I heard from Yan Qiongsi that the Princess of Guangping County went to ask to see the Queen again, but it's a pity that the Queen didn't see her."
Hearing Zhu Chanyi's tone of gloating, Su Xinyi also curved her eyebrows, "The Queen can't see her. Once she sees her, she will be soft-hearted. After all, she is the niece she has loved for so many years. Did something happen to Yan Qiongsi again?"
"I haven't heard about this." Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi with surprise, "Don't you think it's strange? Yan Qiongsi has been making a fuss about seeing the prince a few days ago, but I haven't heard that she has been making a fuss about seeing anyone in the past few days. I'm not used to her suddenly stopping."
Su Xinyi:...
Perhaps Su Xinyi's eyes were too straightforward, Zhu Chanyi coughed lightly, "It's not that I have no choice. You know that Prince Rong has always been very good to this cousin and aunt. I'm afraid that he will make a mistake, so I keep an eye on him."
It's not easy for her either. If she keeps a close eye on him, if he really makes a mistake, she can still make a profit in time.
"Apart from these, is there any other news? I haven't heard whether Yan Qiongsi has any intention to explain?"
Zhu Chanyi shook her head, "I haven't heard about this, but you know Yan Qiongsi's personality. I think she will definitely not give up just like that. I just don't know what she is thinking about. However, Xu Yurong is much smoother. I heard from my grandfather that she is willing to cooperate in defrauding Master Minghui. It seems that she really doesn't want to die."
"Xu Yurong has always been flexible, which is not surprising. She was cruel enough to marry Shu Xuebo back then. Speaking of which, Shu Xuebo also played a role in Xu Yurong's matter this time, right?"
"Yes, these two people have been husband and wife after all, and Shu Xuebo still has some ways to deal with Xu Yurong." Zhu Chanyi's mouth twitched when he said this, "But these two people are really a perfect match."
"What's wrong?" Su Xinyi asked with a smile. She just asked casually and didn't have much interest in Shu Xuebo.
"Our prince asked Shu Xuebo to persuade Xu Yurong to cooperate with the government, but Shu Xuebo took the opportunity to raise conditions and asked if he could get the title back. Isn't this a joke?"
Su Xinyi held her forehead, and it was indeed a bit whimsical.
"If he had enough knowledge, or a strong body, or at least could do something down to earth, it would be fine. This young man who only knows how to ask for money still dreams of ascending to heaven in one step. I really don't know what to say."
Speaking of this, Zhu Chanyi may have really gotten angry. After all, Shu Xuebo is also the nephew of the Queen Mother, and the relationship is very close. Zhu Chanyi can't avoid it.
"Since being demoted to a commoner, it was the Princess of Guangping who helped them father and son. Of course, the prince also secretly paid a sum of money for the family management. What was the result? He didn't know how to work hard, but just spent his days eating and drinking. For such a person, even if the broad road was in front of him, he would not be willing to take the trouble to move forward."
"He didn't seem to be such an unmotivated person before." Su Xinyi hadn't seen Shu Xuebao for a long time. She remembered that the Shu Xuebao she had seen was still somewhat ambitious.
"You also said that was in the past. Since becoming a commoner, you probably gave up on yourself. Not only did you not strive for progress, but you also spent all day hanging out with all kinds of people. It's really not good." Zhu Chanyi shook her head and said, "It's really not right to take credit for this matter before it's done. I'm afraid it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Su Xinyi understood Zhu Chanyi's concerns. Shu Xuebo and Prince Rong were cousins, and this relationship was inevitable. What's more, there was the Queen. If the Shu family really wanted to continue like this, Zhu Chanyi would indeed be in a difficult position.
"Shu Xuebo and Prince Rong are cousins, let him handle this matter. If you want your help, at least wait until Shu Xuebo gets married."
"With his current situation and the people around him, it's easy to get a wife, but I'm afraid the one who gets married won't be easy to get along with, which will be more troublesome."
Su Xinyi couldn't respond to this, and looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "And the Queen, let the Queen check it out when the time comes."
"That's the only way."
Every family has its own problems. Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi and said thoughtfully, "Instead of letting Shu Xuebo mix with those people, it's better to send him to the barracks for some training."
"Can he bear that hardship? ? Definitely not. "
"Then you are not ruthless enough. If you want people to become useful, you have to be ruthless. Throw people to the farthest and most remote outposts and don't allow people to take care of them privately. You see, they will learn their lesson in less than three months."
Zhu Chanyi clicked his tongue, "I can't say such an idea. If something happens to people, we can't afford it."
"That's the truth. I was just joking with you."
Zhu Chanyi smiled helplessly, "I know you want to comfort me, but I always think it through. I just nag you about this matter. I won't say a word to others."
Su Xinyi was amused.
Seeing Su Xinyi's expression, Zhu Chanyi said, "You don't believe it, right? Let me tell you, we who are princesses have countless people outside who are jealous. Seeing that the selection is about to begin, everyone is rubbing their hands and rubbing their fists. Just wait and watch the excitement."
Speaking of this, Zhu Chanyi suddenly thought of something, raised her head and looked at Xinyi, coughed lightly and said, "I just said it casually. Xinyi, don't worry, His Highness treats you so well, the East Palace..."
"I know." Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi with a somewhat apologetic look, "This is something everyone knows, so there is nothing to be afraid of saying it. Besides, this is also a long-standing practice, that is, the queen is the harem. Lord, you have to take care of three thousand beauties."
Zhu Chanyi felt relieved when she heard that Xin Yi was really not angry. She was just used to being with Xin Yi, so she couldn't say anything out of her head.
Now hearing what Xin Yi said, she asked, "Donggong, do you really want to add people?"
Su Xinyi shook his head, "I don't know about that. It's not yet time for the draft, and His Highness is busy with official matters now, so how can he take care of this. When King Yi's case is almost settled, the draft will also begin. Wait until then Let’s talk about it later.”
Zhu Chanyi didn't seem to care much when she heard Xin Yi's words. She had complicated thoughts. She sighed and asked, "Xin Yi, you... don't you care? Although our prince and I didn't like each other at first. , but after these days, if he really brings a concubine into the house, I will really feel uncomfortable. If you have such a good relationship with His Highness, can you really let go? "
Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi, "Sitting in my position, what choices do you think I can make? I think all the women in the capital who want to enter the East Palace would like me to act like a jealous woman, but I am not as proud as them. , so that they can get the opportunity to ruin my reputation. Besides, this will happen sooner or later. I will never be the only one around His Highness. Even if His Highness agrees, and there are courtiers, wouldn’t it be a disaster? "
Zhu Chanyi thought that this was really the case. The royal palace was different from the East Palace. If their prince really did not accept his concubine, His Majesty would at most scold him. But if the prince only favored Xin Yi, I am afraid that His Majesty would Can’t pass the test?
Thinking of this, Zhu Chanyi looked at Xin Yi and said: "You are right, we should eat and drink, and we must not wrong ourselves. Even if someone insists on squeezing in, she will be wronged. ”
Su Xinyi:......
The prince across the door:...
He didn't mean to eavesdrop. Princess Rong's voice was actually a bit loud, and it would be difficult for him not to hear her.
However, if it weren't for this voice, he really wouldn't have thought that there would be a draft in the spring.
