480: Thorough Investigation

"Crown Princess, the Queen Mother asked you to hurry over."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly. They were about to arrive at Yuanhui Palace, and the Queen Mother was still urging them, "Did something happen?"

Madame She nodded slightly, "Princess Wu brought the eldest son of His Royal Highness Xiang into the palace, but she rolled off the couch and her forehead was bleeding."

After this, the expressions of the first lady and several others were not good. It was really unlucky to see blood on a good day.

The first lady suppressed her displeasure and said to Xinyi, "You should go over first and take a look. We will follow you later."

Su Xinyi was naturally unhappy, but she didn't want to make them worry in front of her family, so she smiled and said, "Aunts, just take your time." Then she looked at the fourth lady, "Mother, I will inform Princess Rong later, and you can find her when you arrive at Yuanhui Palace."

"Don't worry about us, just go and do your thing, you have to be careful." The fourth lady said with some concern.

Su Xinyi nodded in response, said goodbye to her family and went to Yuanhui Palace first.

As soon as Xinyi left, the first lady looked at the fourth lady and said immediately: "You and the third sister-in-law go to Yuanhui Palace to find Princess Rong first, I will take the second sister-in-law to inquire about the news."

The second lady said after hearing this: "Princess Wu has a bad character. Before, the concubine Zhou who gave birth to a child in the Wu Palace was often troubled by her. Now she brought this child into the palace. It is really a bit strange. It is better to ask clearly."

She broke her head for no reason. The child can't walk yet, and there will be a wet nurse and a maid watching him. How could she break her head?

The third lady always doesn't suffer any loss in words. At this time, she suppressed her voice and sneered, "Princess Wu has always been at odds with our Xinyi. She always wants to compete with her. Today is the first birthday of the emperor's eldest grandson. Is she deliberately making trouble?"

No matter what, as the mother's family, they can't watch Xinyi being bullied.

The fourth and third wives went to Yuanhui Palace, and the first wife took the second wife to the place where the wives of the families gathered.

When Su Xinyi entered Yuanhui Palace, at least on the surface, she looked normal. Madam Zhao came out to greet her and said with a smile: "Crown Princess, please go in. The queen has been talking about you since she got up this morning."

Su Xinyi looked at Madam Zhao's smiling face, and her heart was actually raised, but she said: "I was delayed in the East Palace for some time, which made my mother worried. It's my fault."

"The East Palace has a lot of affairs, so the Crown Princess must not say that." Madam Zhao led the way in front, talking and laughing loudly to lead people in. When she walked to a place where she was away from people, she quickly spoke and whispered: "Crown Princess, the queen said that something was a bit strange today, so you must be careful."

There were people everywhere in Yuanhui Palace, and some things were hard to say, and there was no time to explain them clearly, so she could only hurry up to remind them.

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your reminder, Madam."

Madam Zhao hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and led people into the main hall.

The only thing Su Xinyi was thankful for was that Hu Siyi had taken Yan Heng to the Purple Palace early this morning, otherwise if her son was here today, who knows what might have happened.

The concubines of the harem were already in the main hall. The queen sat on the throne and laughed with them. Seeing Xinyi coming in, the queen said without waiting for her to greet her, "Crown Princess, you came at the right time. You have taken care of children before. Go and see Yan Fen's child."

Su Xinyi didn't expect that the queen would ask her to see the child first after seeing each other. She thought about it and said with a smile on her face, "My daughter-in-law will go and see it now. Speaking of which, I haven't seen the eldest son in front of my third brother. I heard Concubine Pei once say that this child is good-looking and strong. It's just right to wait until he grows up to play with Heng'er."

"The eldest grandson of the emperor is as precious as gold and jade, and Yan Fen is just a bastard. The Crown Princess is too proud of him."

Su Xinyi heard Concubine Li's obviously provocative words and was about to speak, but heard the queen say with displeasure, "According to Concubine Li, So, the Prince of Xiang is also a concubine's son, so should he be promoted?"

Li Guifei's face darkened, "What does the Queen mean by this? How can my son be the same?"

"It's either legitimate or illegitimate, what's the difference?" The Queen said coldly, "Your Majesty and I have never taken the legitimate or illegitimate son to heart, but I didn't expect that Li Guifei would think about it all the time. If Your Majesty knew what Li Guifei said, I don't know what he would think."

"Why did the Queen deliberately misinterpret my words? You can always find excuses to accuse me."

"There are so many people in the palace, and everyone has ears. It's not up to Li Guifei to determine whether it's a false accusation." The Queen stopped looking at Li Guifei and looked at Xinyi again, "Just go and do your own thing. Today is Heng'er's great day. Nothing is more important than this matter."

Su Xinyi smiled and agreed, then turned and left.

Su Xinyi did not go directly to see Yan Fen, but asked someone to find out where Ruan Mingfei was, so she didn't see her in the palace just now.

Cuique was familiar with Yuanhui Palace, and soon got the news, "The Concubine Ming is in the back hall, and the Princess Wu and Young Master Fen are also there."

The children of each palace are arranged according to the order of succession, and because the children have not been rewarded, they can only be called this way for the time being.

Yan Heng is naturally different from his cousins. First, he is the son of the prince and the eldest son, and he is also the first grandson of His Majesty, and the eldest grandson. Since he was born, he has been noble with a golden border.

So everyone calls him the eldest grandson of the emperor, which is a respectful title and a tacit consent in status.

However, children born to concubines like Yan Fen are not as high-ranking as the princess and concubine, but he is the first son of the King of Wu, so it is appropriate to call him Young Master.

Su Xinyi took a deep breath and then walked into the back hall.

The atmosphere in the palace was a bit depressing. As soon as she entered, she could feel the tension rushing towards her face, which was uncomfortable.

"Why is the Crown Princess here?" Concubine Ruan Ming didn't expect Su Xinyi to come back at this time and hurriedly stood up and asked.

"How are you, Concubine Ming?" Su Xinyi smiled in greeting, pretending not to see Ji Yun's late mother-in-law face, and just joking with Concubine Ming, "I heard that Yan Fen was injured in a fall, so I came over to see how the child is doing now. Like? It’s really heartbreaking to suffer such a crime at such a young age.”

Speaking of this, Concubine Ruan Ming's heart skipped a beat and she immediately said: "It's just a bump. It's normal for children to be naughty, but it makes the Crown Princess worried."

Su Xinyi listened to Ruan Mingfei's opening and attributed the child's injury to her own naughtiness. What could she know about a child who couldn't leave yet.

However, she still followed Ruan Mingfei's words and said with a smile: "What Concubine Ming said is that when Heng'er was this old, he was also very naughty, crawling all over the house, so people around him should be more careful."

"What the Crown Princess said is that I have already asked someone to punish the nanny girl." Ruan Mingfei said with a slight sigh of relief and a smile.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Would you like the imperial doctor to come over and take a look? Even though he is a boy, he should be more careful."

"I've already seen it. The imperial doctor said it's fine. Just put some ointment on it and it'll be fine in a few days."

"That's good." Su Xinyi smiled reassuringly.

Ji Yun looked at Su Xinyi's pretentious expression with a livid face, and could not stop the sarcasm on his face, "The Crown Princess is kind-hearted. If she is really worried, she would have come to visit earlier."

"Shut up!" Concubine Ruan Ming shouted, looking at Ji Yun like a knife.

Ji Yun has no expression on her face, not even a trace of fear. King Wu is now being disciplined by Concubine Ruan Ming and has separated from her. What should she be afraid of when her natal family is gone?

If she is not having a good time, then no one should be able to have a good time.

"Princess, please don't take it to heart. She has lost her mind and gone crazy. I will discipline her well." Concubine Ruan Ming said hurriedly and carefully.

Su Xinyi was about to speak, but heard Ji Yun say again: "I'm not crazy about gains and losses, but the mother-in-law said this because she hoped that I would get it immediately, so as to make room for King Wu and let him marry a bride."

Su Xinyi didn't expect that Ji Yun would dare to contradict Ruan Mingfei like this now. Her face completely darkened. Remembering that today was a good day for her son, she suppressed her anger again and again. Then she looked at Ji Yun and said, "Wu Princess is marrying After being in the palace for so long, everyone in the capital knows what you have done, so you don’t need to confuse right and wrong, there will be people to judge what is right and wrong. "

After saying that, he stopped talking to Ji Yun, a lunatic, and looked at Concubine Ruan Ming with a smile, "Concubine Ming, don't worry. Since the child is fine, just relax and go to the banquet. I think this Princess Wu has an old illness, so she'd better rest in the back hall." ”

Concubine Ruan Ming heard that the Crown Princess did not allow Ji Yun to show up. She was also afraid that Ji Yun would cause trouble again, so she naturally agreed.

Ji Yun's expression changed drastically, "Su Xinyi, I knew you were targeting me deliberately."

"What did Princess Wu do to make me deliberately target you?" Su Xinyi looked at Ji Yun's red eyes, "You were once a noble lady, you also learned etiquette, justice and shame, and you know right and wrong. Now you are doing things Come, it’s better to come from the countryside.”

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you help Princess Wu to go down and rest?" Concubine Ruan Ming said angrily with a livid face.

The maids and palace attendants around him immediately swarmed up to him, forcibly helped Ji Yun and walked back.

Ji Yun wanted to say something else, but a nun quickly took a handkerchief and covered her mouth, "Is the princess catching a cold? I will help you down right now."

Ji Yun twisted his body and refused to give up, staring at Su Xinyi with red eyes.

Su Xinyi's cold eyes fell on hers, and then she moved away carelessly.

Ji Yun was furious at this sight. Su Xinyi is a village girl, why...

After dragging the person down, Ruan Mingfei was silent for a long time and said: "Let the Crown Princess see the joke."

"Concubine Ming, please don't say that. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it's not easy for you either." Su Xinyi felt pity for Concubine Ruan Ming. She was really dragged to death by Ji Yun.

Concubine Ruan Ming's eyes turned slightly red when she heard what Xin Yi said. She quickly took a handkerchief to cover it, and then said calmly: "Today is a good day for the emperor's eldest grandson. The princess must be busy with a lot of things, so I won't delay you." It’s time.”

Su Xinyi always felt that Concubine Ruan Ming had something to say, but since she didn't say it out loud, it was hard for her to ask further, "I'll go see the child and then leave."

"Wait a moment."

Su Xinyi was startled by Concubine Ruan Ming's slightly sharp voice, "Concubine Ming, what's wrong?"

Ruan Mingfei's face froze, and then she showed an embarrassed smile, "Princess, please forgive me, Yan Fen just fell asleep, and the child cried a lot before."

Su Xinyi suddenly realized, "Then I won't go over and disturb the children."

Concubine Ruan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "I will send the Crown Princess out."

Su Xinyi followed Concubine Ruan Ming out, and when she reached the door, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, stay here."

Concubine Ruan Ming breathed a long sigh of relief as she watched the Crown Princess leave, then turned around and returned to the back hall. She looked at Nanny Luo and asked, "Has the matter been cleared up?"

Aunt Luo's face was tinged with ashen color and she was a little scared, "Mother, there's nothing wrong with the inner garment that Young Master Fen is wearing, but there is something wrong with the middle garment. It's because of your sharp eyes that you can see the cuffs at a glance. strange."

"What on earth is it?" Ruan Mingfei's voice was trembling.

"The doctor said that there is no way to find out for the time being, and the earliest news will be tomorrow." Nanny Luo said softly.

Concubine Ruan Ming's eyes were a little straight. How did His Majesty's second prince die back then?

She vaguely remembered that she vomited a lot when she was pregnant with the King of Wu. But that day, she had a very good appetite. After eating a full stomach, she went out for a walk to digest the food. She happened to meet Concubine Fang who was taking the second prince out.

The second prince was only a little big at that time, and he couldn't walk steadily. He fell to the ground. She wanted to help him up, but she saw that there was some dirt on his sleeves and subconsciously withdrew her hand.

Thinking of these past events, Ruan Mingfei had a headache. She gritted her teeth and looked at Nanny Luo, "Have someone send Princess Wu back to the palace and keep her under guard. Don't let her step out of the yard."

"My queen?"

"Madam, do it. And all the people who served Yan Fen today should be locked up. No one is allowed to escape." After saying this, Ruan Mingfei sat down gently on the chair, "We also need to investigate Zhou."

Nanny Luo's hands also trembled. If it was true, then Princess Wu would have to bring Yan Fen to the palace today... Thinking of the emperor's eldest grandson, she felt her legs go weak.

"I'll do it right away."

"Go." Ruan Mingfei waved her hand weakly.

Nanny Luo was afraid that Princess Wu would make a scene, so she simply drank a bowl of calming tea, threw her into the carriage, and left the palace, taking Yan Fen and the people who served Yan Fen back to the Wu Palace.

On the other side, Su Xinyi's eyes flashed after hearing Lian Qiao's words, "Did you see it clearly?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Crown Princess, do you still want to follow?" Lian Qiao also felt that something big had happened, but now she didn't know what was going on here.

"Follow." Su Xinyi's voice was light but full of force, "We have to ask the Imperial Hospital as well."

"Xinyi, why are you hiding here? I'm looking for you."

Su Xinyi saw Zhu Chanyi coming over and glanced at Lian Qiao, who nodded and left.

"What do you want to see me for?" Su Xinyi smiled and went to meet him.

"You are the most glorious today, so why are you hiding here? Come on, everyone is waiting to see you." Zhu Chanyi didn't notice that Su Xinyi and Lian Qiao were not right, so she grabbed them and walked out, and said excitedly as she walked, "You Xiangru and Pei Huiran almost had a fight, come with me to watch the fun."
