457: Tip Off

"The face of the eldest daughter of the Pei family?" Su Xinyi asked, looking at the delphinium.

Delphinium shook her head hastily, "No, it's Miss Pei."

Miss Pei?

Su Xinyi frowned slightly and was not very impressed. She only remembered that Pei Nianwei seemed to have mentioned this sister again, and her name was... Pei Huiran?

Seems to be.

Huh?

This time, Mrs. Wu'an Hou did not bring Pei Nianwei with her to the palace, but brought her second daughter Pei Huiran with her. However, she did not hear about Pei Nianwei's engagement, which was really strange.

"How is the injury?" Su Xinyi asked.

"I don't know yet. Once I get the news, I'll report it to the Crown Princess first."

"Inquire quietly." Su Xinyi ordered, "Ask Princess Wu why she had a dispute with Princess Rong, how Miss Pei was involved at that time, and find out where Mrs. Wu Anhou was at that time."

"Yes, slave, go right away." Delphinium hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Su Xinyi did not expect that Ji Yun would fight with Zhu Chanyi. Although Zhu Chanyi was a bit more straight-tempered, she was on guard against Ji Yun and would definitely not take the initiative to do anything. But if Ji Yun was plotting against Zhu Chanyi, the reason was What?

Generally speaking, Ji Yun and Zhu Chanyi have no direct interest in each other, so this kind of thing should not happen, and the consequences will hurt a third person, who happens to be from the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

This is very subtle.

It is true that Su Xinyi has no good impression of Mrs. Wu Anhou at all, and none of the girls from their family have a good life.

Pei Nianwei's marriage has not been settled so far, and You Xiangzhe married Queen Xiang. Her life was very frustrating to outsiders at least, and her reputation was ruined. Although she turned around this time because of King Yi's incident, where is her foundation? It is impossible to return to a flawless state.

Now that Pei Huiran, the second girl from Wu'an Hou's residence, has come out, Su Xinyi has to think too much. Anyway, she cannot trust the character of Wu'an Hou and his wife.

I am also a little worried that Zhu Chanyi will be really plotted this time. After all, if Pei Huiran's face is really injured, then someone must be responsible for her future. Who will it be?

Either King Wu or King Rong.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi suddenly shuddered. Could it be that the Wu'an Hou Mansion had this idea and wanted their second daughter to enter the palace?

With their family's reputation, although they could attend the Shangyuan Festival palace banquet, it was absolutely impossible to get their daughter into various houses, and they had to take the wrong approach.

Su Xinyi immediately called someone, "Forsythia."

"My servant is here." Forsythia hurriedly walked in, "Princess, what are your orders?"

"You should immediately go to Yuan Hui Palace to find Aunt Zhao and pass a message to her." Su Xinyi said to Forsythia.

"Yes, what's the message?"

"You tell Aunt Zhao and ask her to report back to the Queen. The Pei family may be targeting Prince Rong. No matter what, the responsibility for this matter must not lie with Princess Rong."

Forsythia nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he was a villain.

If the daughter of the Pei family enters Prince Rong's Mansion, Zhu Chanyi will not have an easy life in the future. Pei Nianwei has not yet entered the East Palace at that time, and the Marquis Wu'an Mansion will be able to do so many things, and Pei Nianwei herself is quite capable. Su Xinyi had never seen Miss Pei's character and dare not say for sure, but it was indeed shocking to be able to hurt her face at such a banquet.

If it's unintentional, that's it. If it's intentional and you're so cruel to yourself, what about others?

Zhu Chanyi and Su Xinyi are different. Su Xinyi looks straightforward, but in fact she is very measured in her heart. Her straightforwardness, recklessness, and fierce temper are to some extent a layer of protection she gives herself.

Zhu Chanyi is different. This girl is really honest and honest. If Pei Huiran is really such a scheming person, Zhu Chanyi is really no match for her.

And Ji Yun, Su Xinyi's eyebrows couldn't relax. The Ji family was destined to be unable to stand up. Ji Yun, Princess Wu, had become a joke in the local area. If she wanted to find a way out, it might not be impossible to secretly join forces with the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

No matter what, this matter left Su Xinyi with a lump in his throat, unable to come up or go down. It was so uncomfortable.

Before the delphinium came back, the forsythia came back first.

"Princess, Aunt Zhao said that you can rest assured that the Queen has already restrained everyone."

After listening to Delphinium's words, Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, "What else did Aunt Zhao say?"

"Mama Zhao also told the slaves that the Queen prepared today's banquet very early, and the palace servants inside and outside have repeatedly followed the rules. It is not an accident that such a thing happened. What exactly happened, we still have to ask. We can only confirm after talking." Forsythia replied.

Su Xinyi knew how the empress could be so careless in such a matter after being in charge of the harem for many years. If something unexpected happened, there must be a mole.

Who is this mole? Su Xinyi thought of Ji Yun who had an argument with Zhu Chanyi, and now she was worried that Concubine Ruan Ming would kill her daughter-in-law.

Seeing that the Crown Princess looked unhappy, Forsythia hurriedly spoke to comfort her: "Prince Princess, don't worry. This servant specifically glanced at Princess Rong from a distance. The Princess looks good, and she seems to have a plan in mind."

"Princess Rong has some skills and should be able to avoid danger. However, Pei Huiran still hurt her face. There is only one possibility. She must have had no time to care about being entangled at that time."

"With the Queen and His Highness Prince Rong here, Princess Rong will not suffer any loss, so don't worry.

The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched. It was because of King Rong that he was even more worried.

Before Su Xinyi and Forsythia had finished speaking, Delphinium also came back, stepped forward to greet her, and then replied: "Princess, my servant heard about it and said that Princess Rong was talking to someone at that time, and Princess Wu took Pei with her. The second girl passed by. Princess Wu said she had something to say to Princess Rong alone, but the others wisely avoided it. Who knew that after a while, everyone heard the screams of the second girl Pei and turned around. Look, you can see that the person has fallen down with her face covered. At that time, Princess Wu was grabbing Princess Rong’s hand and loudly saying why Princess Rong wanted to hit the person. Fortunately, Princess Jing was not far away at that time and took her with her immediately. People surrounded Miss Pei and asked the imperial doctor immediately. Mrs. Wu Anhou also wanted to take her daughter away, but Princess Jing did not agree. "

Su Xinyi was surprised that Tu Jingjia actually intervened in this situation. The Tu family was always fair in doing things and rarely expressed their stance immediately. Tu Jingjia had always done this after she got married.

But this time, Su Xinyi had to say that Tu Jingjia did a good job. If Mrs. Wu Anhou had taken advantage of the chaos to take her daughter away, it would have been unclear afterwards.

It was right to take the person into custody, and it was also right to call in the imperial doctor immediately.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to worry this time. The Queen should be able to control the rest.

After such a delay, Su Xinyi felt hungry and asked someone to prepare a meal. Now she had an appetite to eat.

Forsythia hurriedly passed around the meals, laying out dishes and picking up vegetables, trying to coax the Crown Princess to be happy.

Before I had a few bites, Zhanqiao came.

Su Xinyi immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, cleaned up briefly and went to the side hall to meet people.

Zhan Qiao saw the Crown Princess coming out and immediately stepped forward to salute, "My subordinates pay their respects to the Crown Princess."

"Get up quickly, why are you here now? Is there something going on in the house?" Su Xinyi asked with concern.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his subordinates to come down and deliver a message to the Crown Princess. At tonight's banquet, Mr. Shang will present evidence that King Yi resold the granary. Mu Xing has arrived safely and obtained the specific address of King Yi's granary. There is another happy event. The food has not yet been shipped to Dogan.”

Su Xinyi looked happy. This is really good news. Southern Qi was already short of food. Now that the food in the granary has not been transported, it can finally alleviate the food shortage in the south.

"Where is the granary?" Su Xinyi asked. His Highness had told her about her suspicions before, and now she wanted to verify whether they were correct.

"Princess, the granary is in Quchuan County."

Sure enough it's there!

The last doubt in Su Xinyi's mind was finally solved. She still couldn't figure out why King Yi targeted the Su family. She thought it was because the Su family was in Huaining, which was a stumbling block that hindered King Yi and Lu Minglin from selling food, but she wanted to It doesn't make sense. Although this reason is reasonable, it is not enough to kill someone.

After all, if King Yi was transporting grain with Lu Minglin, he could actually avoid Huaining by taking a longer route.

But now it is clear, because the granary is in Quchuan, right under the eyes of the Su family in Huaining, as long as King Yi makes a bigger move, he will definitely be discovered.

Therefore, this is the reason why King Yi worked so hard to eradicate the Su family.

Su Xinyi's breath kept rising and falling in her chest. In her last life, it was because of this that the people of the Su family were unlucky one after another.

Who can avoid it if he calculates mentally but not intentionally?

This bitch, King Yi, would make it impossible for her to swallow her breath without sacrificing her life!

"Is there anything you need my help with?" Su Xinyi asked, looking at Zhan Qiao.

"His Highness said that the Crown Princess should have a rest early. There is no need to wait for His Highness to come back. It is very likely that His Highness will stay in the front hall tonight." Zhan Qiao replied.

Su Xinyi nodded. Although the evidence was conclusive, he still had to confront King Yi. After all this trouble, no one would be able to sleep tonight.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi looked at Zhan Qiao and hesitated. Should Zhan Qiao inform His Highness about the harem?

After thinking about it, I think I still have to say it, at least let His Highness give King Rong a few words to stop him from being impulsive.

Su Xinyi explained the affairs of Zhu Chanyi and others in detail, and then said to Zhan Qiao: "Tell His Highness that if someone from the harem goes to send a message to King Rong, you must ask His Highness to keep them. There is a queen in the harem. Now, things will be handled properly. If King Rong goes to the harem rashly, he will be easily taken advantage of. "

King Rong's temper that explodes at the slightest moment is really nerve-wracking.

Zhan Qiao didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he resigned immediately.

As soon as Zhanqiao left, Su Xinyi breathed a long sigh of relief, now feeling stable.

As night fell, the palace lanterns in the East Palace were lit, and Su Xinyi was not in the mood to go out to look at the lanterns. She stood under the eaves for a while, but her thoughts continued to drift away with the snowflakes flying in the sky.

I hope everything goes well tonight.

Don't let King Yi escape the court's orders, don't let Ji Yun and Mrs. Wu Anhou succeed.

In the new year, may everything go well, be safe and auspicious.

That night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come back. When he slept until midnight, he vaguely felt someone talking outside. Su Xinyi got up alertly, reached out to lift the bed curtain, got up, put on his shoes and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, he saw a person lifting his head. The feet came in.

Under the dim light, Su Xinyi saw His Highness walking in slowly, covered in snowflakes. He probably didn't expect to disturb her, and His Highness saw a bit of surprise on her face.

"Did I bother you?" Yan Junchu did not come over. Instead, he took off his cloak and coat first and dispelled the chill in front of the fumigation cage. Then he walked to Xin Yi.

Su Xinyi looked at His Highness coming over, and then she replied, "I was thirsty and wanted to get up and drink some water. I came to see you when I heard the sound. Your Highness, aren't you not coming back? It's so snowy outside, you can just rest in the front hall."

Yan Junchu looked at Xinyi's disapproving expression, smiled and grabbed her hand, and said softly, "I just wanted to see you."

Su Xinyi was speechless and asked softly, "Your Highness, do you want to have some midnight snack?"

Yan Junchu was about to refuse, but heard Xinyi say, "It just so happens that I'm a little hungry too, let's eat together."

Yan Junchu said, "Okay."

Su Xinyi called someone in and gave the order. I'm afraid that His Highness would not be in the mood to eat tonight. If she just told him to eat, he would definitely not eat because it was too troublesome.

The midnight snack was simple. She made four side dishes and two bowls of fresh meat wontons. The two of them sat around the table, with a palace lantern in the corner, which made them feel more comfortable than during the day.

After finishing the meal, Su Xinyi went into the inner hall to talk with His Highness.

"Your Highness, how is Prince Yi's matter going?" Su Xinyi asked with concern.

Yan Junchu looked at Xinyi and said, "He will be punished for multiple crimes. He can't get away this time. People related to Prince Yi can't get away either. The evidence brought back by Shang Junyan and Mu Xing is very important. Prince Yi can no longer quibble."

"Why did Prince Yi do this?" Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out. "Since the old Prince Yi chose to support his father, he should have behaved himself after going to Suizhou."

Yan Junchu smiled. "People's hearts are always hard to satisfy. The old Prince Yi bowed to his father not willingly, but to save his life. Later, his life was saved. He was the favorite youngest son of the late emperor. He was always dissatisfied, so he plotted secretly. Unfortunately, man's plans are not as good as God's. He got a serious illness and couldn't get what he wanted."

Su Xinyi didn't know how to express her feelings when she heard this. "Then Prince Yi and Yan Ling competed for the title. Did the old Prince Yi know about it?"

"Of course."

"He thinks he is a kind father." Su Xinyi shook her head in disagreement.

"Yan Ling's temperament is comfortable and he didn't show it when he was young. When Prince Yi noticed it and wanted to correct it when he was older, it was too late, so he noticed Yan Bo. Yan Bo and his mother are ambitious and have been patient for many years. They have grasped what the old Prince Yi wants, so they can naturally win. The old Prince Yi spared his son's life with the title of prince, which he thought was very kind."

"Yan Ling also broke his leg." Su Xinyi said.

"Yes, he couldn't inherit the title because of his broken leg."

Su Xinyi was speechless. Yes, if he wanted to save his son's life, he had to make it impossible for him to inherit the title.

"Then, how did the father deal with it?" Su Xinyi looked at the prince and asked.
