Once the Crown Prince Joins In

471: Divorce Letter

Su Xinyi didn't expect Concubine Li to do this. She gave the child to the nurse and went to the inner hall to change her clothes and make up before heading to Yuanhui Palace.

Yuanhui Palace was bustling with people. Not only Concubine Li, but also Concubine Ruan Ming was there. Her eyes were red and she looked very haggard.

Su Xinyi lowered her eyes. Concubine Ruan Ming came to the Queen to cry, but she was waiting for her to come. She didn't know what that meant.

"The daughter-in-law greets the Queen Mother." Su Xinyi strode in and knelt down.

"Get up quickly." The Queen looked at Su Xinyi and spoke.

Su Xinyi greeted Concubine Li and Concubine Ruan Ming again before sitting aside.

The Queen looked at Su Xinyi, "Did you know about Concubine Pei's miscarriage?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "I just got the news."

At this time, Concubine Li looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Crown Princess, Concubine Pei was fine, how come she had a miscarriage after you went to the Prince Wu's Mansion? You have to give everyone an explanation for this matter."

Su Xinyi looked up at Concubine Li and nodded seriously, "What the Concubine said is that we need to find out, explain it clearly, and find out the truth. Otherwise, if it's unclear, you are so old. Putting a hat on my head, that's really reasonable but nowhere to say. "

After Su Xinyi finished speaking, she didn't look at Concubine Li's expression, but looked directly at Concubine Ruan Mingfei and said: "Concubine Mingfei, I brought a lot of people with me to the Prince of Wu's Mansion yesterday, not only people from the Eastern Palace, but also people from the Imperial Hospital. Besides, there are so many people in the Prince of Wu's Mansion. What I said and did after entering yesterday, I think it will be soon clear. "

Concubine Ruan Mingfei was stunned. She didn't expect the Crown Princess to say this. She was always tactful, and she was speechless for a while.

Concubine Li said, "Crown Princess, what you said is inappropriate. You brought the people from the Imperial Hospital with you, so they will naturally help you speak."

Su Xinyi nodded, "What the Concubine said is right. There are so many people from the Wu Wang Mansion present. According to your meaning, they will naturally sell out their masters and help me, the Crown Princess, speak."

"You..."

"Concubine, don't rush to throw dirty water on me. Who is right and who is wrong will be determined by themselves. What we say is all empty talk. In my opinion, we should ask the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation. Concubine, you can't say that the adults in the Ministry of Justice will also lose justice, right?" Su Xinyi said sarcastically.

The Queen hasn't seen Su Xinyi scolding people for a long time. It's really refreshing to see her. She has long disliked Concubine Li, but she is the Queen, so it's not good to do such things. It's too embarrassing.

"Concubine Li, some words can't be said casually. If it gets to His Majesty's ears, how will you explain to His Majesty?" The Queen frowned and scolded.

Concubine Li only thought that this was a matter of the harem. Who knew that Su Xinyi would drag the Ministry of Justice into it? Isn't this equivalent to everyone fighting each other and asking for external help?

This is too much.

"Empress, I'm just telling the truth. There's not a single word of falsehood in my words. Did Concubine Pei have a miscarriage after the Crown Princess visited the Prince Wu's mansion?" Concubine Li looked at the Queen, "I dare to say this even if I'm in front of His Majesty."

Su Xinyi listened to Concubine Li's nonsense, smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is right. If that's the case, shouldn't you also give an explanation for the matter of Prince Yi?"

"Crown Princess!"

"What does your Majesty want?"

"You're so bold!"

"I'm really terrified. I'm just following your example. Your Majesty is so angry. Do you think your previous words are unreasonable?"

Concubine Ruan Ming was so scared that her face was even paler than when she heard that Concubine Pei had a miscarriage. If she wasn't the victim today, she would have wanted to run away immediately.

Su Xinyi met Concubine Li's gloomy eyes and didn't avoid them at all.

She knew that the two words "Prince Yi" were the Achilles' heel of the Li family. It was not easy for Grand Tutor Li to help the Li family escape a disaster due to illness, so Concubine Li naturally did not want anyone to mention this matter.

It was just that Concubine Li could arrogantly and proudly throw dirty water on her, but why couldn't she fight back?

Su Xinyi would eat anything in this life, but she would not be angry.

This life was completely different from the previous life. In the previous life, Prince Xiang had Prince Rong in front to take the blame for him and go against the prince, and later he had Li Ji, his uncle, and Prince Yi to assist him. At that time, Concubine Li had a basis for advance and retreat, and she was confident, even when she faced the queen.

But this life was different. First, Li Ji's downfall made Concubine Li feel short of breath in front of the queen, and then the matter of Prince Yi was exposed, and the addition of Fu Yun made Prince Xiang lose face several times in front of His Majesty to protect her. With all these accumulations, Concubine Li was naturally not as relaxed as in the previous life.

But Su Xinyi is just the opposite. She was personally selected by His Majesty as the Crown Princess, and she successfully gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Emperor. In addition, she has a harmonious relationship with the Crown Prince and is on good terms with the Queen. She has a solid foundation and is cautious in her work. In addition, she has always been high-profile and straightforward since her rebirth. Even if she confronted Concubine Li at this time, others would only think it was normal. After all, she is just like that.

If Concubine Li had not pressed her step by step today, Su Xinyi would not want to fight her hand to hand, but since Concubine Li wanted to use her for surgery, could she still lie on the chopping board and let her chop her as she wanted?

That was impossible.

At this time, the two were deadlocked, and the Queen had no intention of reconciling. Concubine Ruan Ming really regretted it. If she had known this, she should not have come to Yuanhui Palace. Now she is in a state of panic.

When Concubine Ruan Ming thought about it, she couldn't help but vent her anger on Ji Yun and Pei Huiran. None of them were worry-free.

Ji Yun had already given up, but Pei Huiran looked stable and generous during the draft. How could such a thing happen with just one mistake?

Concubine Ruan Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad. Her luck in choosing her daughter-in-law was really not good. She has obviously been cautious all her life, tolerated as much as she can, and been kind to others all her life, so why is she so unhappy with this matter?

Concubine Ruan Ming was in a daze when she came out of Yuanhui Palace, and when she arrived at Chunze Palace, she couldn't hold on and collapsed.

Even though Concubine Ruan Ming was ill, she did not dare to announce it. Aunt Luo, who was beside her, quietly handed a letter to King Wu, who immediately came to the palace to visit her.

Concubine Ruan Ming had a forehead wipe wrapped around her forehead and her face was pale. She still managed a smile when she saw her son, "Why are you here? Now you are on an errand, so you can't be as careless as before."

"Mother and concubine, my son knows, why are you suddenly sick? What's wrong with you? My son asked the imperial doctor to come." King Wu's face was full of concern with a bit of worry in his eyes.

Concubine Ruan Ming motioned her son to sit down and sighed softly, "Don't be sad about Concubine Pei's miscarriage."

King Wu was silent for a moment, and then said: "My son knows, so don't be sad."

King Wu thought that his mother-in-law fell ill because of this incident.

Concubine Ruan Ming looked at her son's expression carefully and did not see any sadness at all. At this moment, she also felt some unspeakable emotions.

After a moment of silence, Ruan Mingfei slowly spoke: "When you insisted on marrying Ji Yun, my mother-in-law was willing to fulfill your wish and let you marry someone you like."

When King Wu heard what his mother-in-law said, he felt uneasy for a moment and lowered his eyes slightly.

Concubine Ruan Ming pretended that she did not see her son's discomfort and continued in a soft voice: "Looking back now, how have Ji Yun been to you in the past few years since you were married? How have you managed the palace? How have you gotten along with the other princesses? As your Even if my wife can’t be your good wife, at least she can’t hold you back, but she doesn’t do what a wife should do internally or externally, or even to you.”

King Wu's face was very stiff and embarrassed, and he was even on pins and needles.

"Mother concubine..."

"Listen to my concubine first. If you don't say anything today, I don't know if I can say it again in the future." Concubine Ruan Ming stopped her son's words and did not look at him. For fear of being soft-hearted, she looked up at the top of the tent and said, "Concubine Concubine will never do anything in her life." Life in the palace was not satisfactory, it was like walking on thin ice. It was precisely because I was unhappy that I wanted you to live a happier life, so I agreed to marry Ji Yun. "

King Wu felt uncomfortable when he heard his mother and concubine say this. He still remembered the difficult time when he and his mother and concubine were trapped between the queen and the noble concubine when he was a child.

"However, the mother-in-law regrets it now. They say that marrying a virtuous wife is a good idea. I should have refused this marriage just because I wanted to make you unhappy. Princess Jing was chosen by the virtuous concubine. The Tu family has always been upright in the court. Fate, the daughter of the Tu family has a good reputation in the capital. You see, after Princess Jing got married, she managed the palace in an orderly manner.

Princess Rong was born in the palace of Zheng Guogong, a family of military generals. Everyone thought that Princess Rong had an unruly temper and would definitely not be able to manage the family well, but what was the result? Princess Rong not only managed the house well, but she was also able to restrain Prince Rong.

Needless to say, Princess Xiang, this marriage was not very honorable. Even so, you see that Princess Xiang can protect herself in the quagmire of Prince Xiang's Mansion, and she can also subtly subdue Fuyun. This method is no better than that of your wife. ?

It stands to reason that your daughter-in-law is originally from a good background, and the Ji family is considered a well-known family, but it is a pity that her heart is not with you. She neither wants to take care of the palace for you, nor does she want to do anything for you. She spends all her time working for the Ji family. Things were running wild, and even interacting with people like Princess Yi almost got you involved. These things have passed and I won’t mention them anymore, but she still doesn’t know she was wrong. Do you know why? "

King Wu's throat moved.

He knew what his mother-in-law meant, and his face darkened, "It's all the son's fault."

"You understand in your heart, right? Ji Yun dares to act so recklessly because of your tolerance for her. This time about Concubine Pei's miscarriage, you'd better go back and investigate carefully. This matter has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. No, you go ask and check to see what your princess and concubine did and said. "

Looking at his mother's disappointed and helpless look, King Wu couldn't help but feel a little sad. He stood up and said, "Concubine, don't be sad. My son will investigate carefully."

"Mother-in-law is not sad, she is just worried. The house is unclear and the internal affairs are unclear. In the long run, you will end up with a bad reputation for running the family. How can you behave externally in the future? How will the courtiers view you and how will your father view you? If you continue like this, you will be ruined.”

Concubine Ruan Ming couldn't hold back her tears at the end. "Concubine, I don't expect anything in this life. I only hope that you will have a smooth life and everything will go as you wish. But if your future is unclear because of Ji Yun, this marriage is mine." I promised to work for you, but I won’t rest in peace even if I die.”

"Mother and concubine!" King Wu immediately knelt down after hearing this. "It's all because of the unfilial piety of the son, which makes the mother and concubine sad."

Concubine Ruan Ming waved her hand, "Get up, go back, and think about what to do in the future. It's all useless because of the mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law can be favored like a noble concubine, this little thing doesn't matter. It's a pity that the mother-in-law is incompetent..."

"Concubine!" King Wu was really panicked. He could make his concubine say such words, which shows that he really made her sad.

"Go back. If you can't figure it out and can't manage the palace, don't come to see me." Ruan Mingfei gritted her teeth and said that she couldn't let her son be willful anymore. They didn't have the confidence to be willful.

After leaving the palace, King Wu went back to the palace. He sat in the study for a long time without seeing anyone. After opening the door of the study, he asked someone to call Xu Ma to question her.

Xu Ma was originally a person who came from Mingfei to manage the palace's food. She had no interest in other people in the palace, so it was fair for her to answer.

King Wu had been listening quietly. From the time the Crown Princess came to visit on the Queen's order until the Crown Princess left, nothing happened that could cause Pei Huiran to have a miscarriage. However, after the Crown Princess left, the conversation between Ji Yun and Pei Huiran made King Wu unable to recover for a long time.

He couldn't believe that Pei Huiran's miscarriage was caused by her quarrel with Ji Yun, and her anger led to the miscarriage.

Thinking of Pei Huiran and Ji Yun's ambiguous words, they both seemed to want to transfer the matter to the Crown Princess...

The King of Wu slowly stood up, looked at Madam Xu and said, "Madam, please go down."

Madam Xu saw that the Prince's expression was not right, but she did not dare to say anything at this time, and retreated with worry.

The King of Wu went to Ji Yun's yard. Ji Yun was sick and was recuperating. The people in the yard were also very quiet. He didn't see many maids when he went in.

When he entered the room, Ji Yun was sitting on the couch flipping through a book. She was wearing a plain white dress. Her face was no longer as rosy as before, but a little sallow.

Hearing the sound of his footsteps, Ji Yun raised her head and took a look, then lowered her head and continued to read.

If it were before, the King of Wu would not care too much about these, but today he knew that his mother's words were right. Ji Yun didn't have him in her heart, so she didn't care about him.

The King of Wu stopped and didn't walk to Ji Yun's opposite side and sit down to talk to her actively as before.

Ji Yun waited for the King of Wu for a long time, and couldn't help but raise her head. She met the King of Wu's eyes looking at her, and for some reason her heart skipped a beat.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the King of Wu suddenly felt that it was meaningless. Those things that he couldn't let go of before, suddenly let go at this moment.

"Since you don't like being the Princess of Wu, I will give you a divorce letter and let you go."

Ji Yun's mind exploded when she heard this, and she was no longer calm and composed as before. She stood up and said angrily with a dark face: "What do you mean by this? Now you want to drive me out because my family is ruined?"
