177: King Rong Lost Miserably

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Su Xinyi also felt that this matter was weird, and the queen just called her here. What does this matter have to do with herself?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the prince's quiet voice saying: "Firstly, this incident happened in Xiaoyuqing Pond. Secondly, it was at the time when the crown prince was selected. I have already reported it to my father. The queen can rest assured that this matter will be investigated thoroughly." ”

The queen never thought that the prince would interfere with her. The smile on her face immediately disappeared and she said calmly: "The prince is often busy with errands, so you don't need to worry about this matter. I will handle it properly. I won't." Delay the prince’s choice of concubine.”

It was as if the prince was doing this for the sake of women. The queen always spoke in a soft and yet prickly way, which made her very uncomfortable.

"If the Queen has any objections, she can report it to the Emperor. I was just ordered to investigate the case." The prince dropped these words and turned to look at Su Xinyi, "Mr. Yong'an County, you said before that you were following the Queen's edict. Come on, you should know that there was a murder in Xiaoyuqingchi, and you should stay in Yangde Palace now."

When Su Xinyi heard this, he immediately knew what the prince was going to do. He put on a puzzled look on his face and looked at the prince and said, "Back to your highness, the maiden is also very frightened. At this time, people in Yangde Palace are in panic. There are endless rumors, but at this time, the Queen Mother issued an edict to the minister. Not only the minister is surprised, but everyone in the Yangde Palace is also surprised. "

After saying this, Su Xinyi turned to look at the queen and asked with a sincere face: "I am presumptuous, I wonder what the purpose of the imperial edict is for this?"

The queen's eyes lingered on Su Xinyi and the prince. The two men seemed very measured in their words and deeds. They didn't look familiar, but she always felt that there was something wrong with what they said.

The queen originally planned to ask Su Xinyi to come over and let her see clearly who the deceased was before she would have anything to do with Zhang Huiming's death.

After all, it was Zhang Huiming who led the way for Su Xinyi on the first day he entered the palace. She was also taken away after a dispute. As for how he died and why he died in Xiaoyuqing Pond, what does it have to do with it? As long as Su Xinyi is related to the deceased. enough.

But now that the prince is here, and the prince does something that is difficult to figure out, the queen is not willing to risk it easily. Even if she is angry, she just smiles and says: "There is nothing important. Originally, today I wanted to take a test on the chess, calligraphy and painting skills of the noble ladies of the Imperial Palace, but something like this happened early in the morning. I was afraid that everyone would be frightened, so I thought that the Lord of Yong'an County was skilled in bow and horse, so I didn't know if I could take everyone to the polo field to relax. ”

Of course, Su Xinyi knew that the queen was telling lies, but since the queen retracted her outstretched paw, although it was a pity, she could not be rash and said immediately: "The queen can let someone pass the message on for such a trivial matter, and the minister will naturally willing."

The queen smiled and nodded, "Then thank you Lord Yongan for your hard work." After saying that, she looked at the people around her and said, "Peiyu, today you will stay with the Lord and listen to the Lord's instructions."

The palace maid in blue immediately stood up and said, "Yes, I obey my order." After saying that, she looked at Yong'an County Master to greet her, "My slave Peiyu has met the County Master."

Su Xinyi smiled, "No need to be polite, I have a hard day today."

"Don't take it seriously, this is what a slave should do." After Peiyu said that, he walked quickly behind Yong'an County Master and stood silent.

In this way, Su Xinyi looked at the queen and said, "If the queen has no other instructions, I will leave first."

The queen nodded slightly, "Go."

Su Xinyi saluted, turned around and saluted the prince again, and then left with Peiyu.

During the whole process, Su Xinyi and the prince did not have much words or contact. The queen frowned slightly and sent away Su Xinyi. There was also a prince who was more difficult to deal with. Everything was really going wrong today.

However, it was her own son who caused all these troubles, and the queen felt even more breathless when she thought about it.

This bastard has become more and more out of character and unruly since he got together with Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi took Peiyu away, knowing that His Highness the Crown Prince was afraid of another confrontation with the Queen, but she could not intervene or talk too much, otherwise she would not be able to help the Crown Prince and would cause him trouble.

Su Xinyi rolled her eyes, looked at Peiyu behind her, and asked with a smile: "Miss Peiyu, I wonder if I could ask who was the one who accidentally fell into the water and died this morning?"

Peiyu didn't expect Yong'an County Lord to ask her about this matter. She hesitated, but told the truth, "I don't think I know the County Lord when he first entered the palace. She is a female envoy from the palace. Yesterday, she went to Yangde Palace." I was helping with the reception, but who would have thought that this morning..."

Su Xinyi listened to Peiyu's half-truths and half-false words. Just like in her previous life, she was still scheming and cautious in what she said and did. There was a bit of surprise on her face, and she deliberately acted like a country girl. Angrily, he said: "That's really pitiful, but I don't think all the people in this palace are good people. The one who came into the palace to greet me yesterday had a dark heart."

Peiyu's heart skipped a beat and she raised her eyes to look at the famous Yong'an County Lord. She didn't know whether she was speaking to her or if she was really speaking outright. As soon as her mind changed, she said with a smile: "County Lord, if this happens to you, All you have to do is tell the Queen the Queen, she will definitely make the decision for the County Lord. How can the inner palace envoy Qu Qu dare to make things difficult for the County Lord? "

Su Xinyi was happy when she heard this. As she expected, she knew she would say this, so she said more "directly": "It doesn't matter, I happened to meet His Highness King Rong. His Highness took people away when there was injustice on the road. I'm going to be interrogated, but His Highness said he would send me a message after the trial. I haven't received any news yet. I'm afraid it hasn't been out yet. Miss Peiyu, don't worry, His Highness Prince Rong is very powerful and can naturally handle such a small matter. "

Peiyu's footsteps trembled when she heard this. She suppressed the ups and downs in her heart and squeezed out a smile: "What the county master said is that His Highness Prince Rong has always been like this and does not want to see others suffer."

No wonder Zhang Huiming could not be found yesterday and was taken away by His Highness King Rong. But since he was taken away by His Highness, why did her body appear in Xiaoyuqing Pond this morning?

Su Xinyi said this with the intention of testing. Looking at Peiyu's appearance, a thought suddenly came to his mind. He was afraid that the person who died in Xiaoyuqing Pond was Zhang Huiming!

Now it makes sense why the queen wanted to order her to come. The emotional queen dug a big hole for her.

Su Xinyi was so disgusted that she sneered in her heart, now it's better, it's the queen who has the headache.

But Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out. Why did Zhang Huiming's body appear in Xiaoyuqing Pond?

That fool like King Rong would never frame his own mother. What happened here?

And His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appeared. What did His Highness do here?

Soon, we returned to Yangdeok Palace.

Su Xinyi was about to enter with Peiyu, when she heard a slightly sharp voice coming from inside, "There are so many ladies in Yangde Palace, why is it that the empress is biased against the Lord of Yong'an County, and another life happened to be lost? I'm just reasonable Just a suspicion, what is Miss Wang doing with such an atmosphere?"

She knew the person who spoke, it was Xu Yuru, and the Miss Wang she was talking about was probably not Wang Yingyao.

Sure enough, Su Xinyi heard Wang Yingyao's voice right after, "Miss Xu San, I advise you to be cautious about your words and actions. This matter is related to the reputation of others' innocence. If you have any reasonable suspicion, the Lord of Yong'an County will be punished." The reputation is damaged. According to what you said, I have reasonable suspicion that this matter is related to you. "

"That's right, Red Mouth and White Teeth opened his mouth and said, since you swear so much, you should provide evidence. Do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, it is slander and slander! After all, she is also a girl from the Hou Mansion. Isn’t it possible that no one can teach you such a simple truth?”

When Su Xinyi heard Jiang Ruolan's voice, she was obviously very angry, and her words were trembling.

"Miss Jiang, you also said that you need evidence in everything, so do you have evidence that the Lord of Yong'an County did not do such a thing?"

Oh, it's Shu Siyang's voice.

"Miss Shu, don't you think what you are saying is ridiculous? Let innocent people prove that they did not kill anyone. According to what you said, no one here can escape. The whole country has to prove that they did not kill anyone. Even Shu Girl, you have to prove it too!”

Su Xinyi heard Zhu Chanyi's voice again. Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan had known her for a long time and it was not surprising that she spoke to her. She did not expect that Zhu Chanyi would also be on her side. After all, this time it was about human life. There was no clear evidence. Under such circumstances, one should not take sides easily.

But she stood.

"Okay, everyone, please stop arguing. The Lord of Yong'an County was just invited by the Queen. We don't know whether it was because of this matter, so why should we quarrel here. Besides, what happened last night, we all They live together. Miss Wang and Miss Pei live in the same room as County Master Yong'an. They should know whether County Master Yong'an has ever gone out. "

Li Qingyi's words were interesting. They sounded both offending, but Wang Yingyao and Pei Nianwei were asked to testify. Wang Yingyao had a good relationship with her, but Pei Nianwei had a normal relationship with her.

"I can testify that the Lord of Yong'an County did not go out last night." Wang Yingyao said immediately.

After a while, Pei Nianwei slowly said, "I always sleep deeply at night, but I don't know if anyone has gone out."

Wang Yingyao's face turned pale when she heard this. Last night was the first time for them to spend the night outside, and it was in a place like the palace. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She could clearly hear that it took Pei Nianwei a long time to fall asleep. How could she not? Know?

Wang Yingyao looked at Pei Nianwei, but she didn't know that Pei Nianwei didn't even look at her. She stared at the ground with her eyes slightly lowered, as if she could see a flower.

Shu Siyang was happy when he heard this. He looked at Wang Yingyao and said: "Miss Wang, everyone present knows that you have a good relationship with Yong'an County Lord. What you said is not convincing. From this point of view, Yong'an County Lord is quite……"

Before Shu Siyang could say the next words, Su Xinyi saw Peiyu go out and open the door. The sound of the door opening instantly interrupted Shu Siyang's next words.

Su Xinyi looked at Peiyu's back and sneered in her heart. She was afraid that Shu Siyang would slap him in the face and was anxious to protect her.

As soon as Peiyu entered, she immediately turned around and looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile: "County Lord, please."

Su Xinyi then walked in, and everyone present looked particularly wonderful when they saw her.

Wang Yingyao and others looked relieved and very happy, but it was hard to say for others.

"Peiyu? Why are you here?" Shu Siyang asked in surprise.

Peiyu immediately stepped forward and replied: "The Empress knows that Yong'an County Lord is very good at golf, so she asked the County Lord to come over. She wants the County Lord to take all the girls to play on the golf course."

"What?" Shu Siyang couldn't believe his ears.

Peiyu chuckled lightly, "If you girls have nothing else to do, how about we go to the stadium together?"

Who wants to play ball in this cold weather? Why not just have tea and enjoy the flowers in the palace?

Pei Nianwei didn't want to go and immediately said, "I don't feel very well today. It's freezing outside so I won't go."

The smile on Peiyu's face froze. Facing the cousin of the former Queen's family, she became more cautious and said with a smile: "Where is Miss Pei feeling uncomfortable? I asked the imperial doctor to treat the girl. The Empress." I have given you countless instructions, and I will never let you girls suffer any injustice.”

Pei Nianwei glanced at Peiyu and said coldly: "No, I'll just lie down and be fine." After saying that, she turned around and left without giving anyone a chance to speak again.

The smile on Peiyu's face was a bit unbearable, but she returned to normal as soon as possible, "Ladies, how about leaving now?"

Shu Siyang didn't want to go. It was so cold to blow the wind. His face didn't look very good, but he couldn't discredit his aunt, so he could only admit it while holding his breath.

Li Qingyi frowned, obviously unwilling to go, but her aunt was Li Guifei, so she smiled and said nothing, but looked sideways at Wang Yingyao and the others.

Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan also didn't look good, but they couldn't object verbally, and their expressions were very subtle.

The ones who were happy were probably Zhu Chanyi's group of military generals' daughters. They were all very happy and gearing up.

Everyone:...

Su Xinyi herself was not afraid, so she looked at Peiyu and said, "Since we are going to the racecourse, it is difficult to dress like this. Why don't we let everyone change clothes first and then go after half an hour."

In half an hour the sun will rise high and it won't be so cold anymore. The weather in February is still very warm at noon.

Naturally, Peiyu couldn't say no, so she agreed with a smile.

As Su Xinyi walked forward, Zhu Chanyi and others strode over. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they accidentally knocked Xu Yuru away. Xu Yuru's face turned dark with anger, but she did not dare to provoke Zhu Chanyi. Waiting for others, I had to leave with a dark face.

As soon as Zhu Chanyi came over, he looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I happened to bring Hu clothes. If you don't bring one, I will lend you one to wear."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "I happened to bring it with me too. Let's go change clothes first."

Everyone chatted and laughed with Su Xinyi and walked out. Peiyu frowned slightly at this scene. After everyone left the hall, she walked out. She had to find someone to tell the Queen about the incident of Prince Rong taking away Zhang Huiming.

Peiyu hurriedly left the Yangde Palace, reached out to call a female servant and whispered to her. The female servant nodded and left in a hurry.

Su Xinyi went back to the west hall and changed her clothes. She has always been a person who takes revenge. Shu Siyang and Xu Yuru were slandering her behind her back. When they get to the court, if they dare to play, see if she doesn't scare them to death!

Wang Yingyao changed her clothes, straightened her clothes, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Before entering the palace, my mother asked me to bring a set of Hu clothes. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but I didn't know that I would actually use it."

Su Xinyi chuckled lightly, "A gentleman still has six skills. We girls have learned a lot, and we have many skills."

"Xin Yi, have you learned it too?"

Su Xinyi was stunned when she heard this. She had suffered enough from learning in her previous life.

Wang Yingyao saw something wrong with Xin Yi's expression, and was a little annoyed that she had said the wrong thing quickly. Just as she was thinking about returning from Zhou Xuan, she heard Xin Yi say: "As a country girl, you don't learn much, but we often go to the market. In many places, I will also learn from it.”

Pei Nianwei next door was lying on the bed reading a book. When she heard these words through the curtain, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. Can what they learned in the countryside compare to their more than ten years of hard work?

Since the Yong'an County Lord returned to the Duke of Qi's mansion, she has also been involved in evil affairs. The whole day has been her business. Today she has a fight with King Rong, tomorrow she kicks down the door of the Duke of Qin's mansion, and the next day she gets involved in something. case, and later went to the border gate, and she was actually fooled into thinking that she was the county chief, and she was very angry.

Pei Nianwei couldn't stand it anymore when the two people next door walked out. She entered the palace with the expectations of her family, naturally hoping that she could win the position of Crown Princess.

But she knew that it was probably not possible. If His Majesty really looked at the Pei family differently, he would not choose a princess and just issue the decree directly.

However, she would not be willing to give it a try. If she really couldn't be a princess, she would at least have a concubine.

The prince is indifferent to the Pei family, but what does it have to do with her? She is just a girl from the Pei family who cannot make the decision. After she enters the East Palace, she will always have time and opportunity to reconcile with the prince's cousin.

This is what she thinks and does. She has been keeping a low profile since entering the palace, but for some reason, ever since she entered the Yangde Palace, she has rarely been as patient as when she was in the Pei family, especially when she saw Su Xinyi. Even more so.

She obviously had nothing to do with her, and they neither knew each other nor had any grudges, but that kind of unpleasant rejection always shook her heart and made her upset.

She suppressed her annoyance and focused on what happened this morning. Who was the person in Xiaoyuqing Pond?

How did he die? Did he fall into the water or was he murdered?

If he killed him, was it related to Yuan Huigong?

It would be great if it had something to do with Yuan Hui Palace.

The queen made a last-minute decision to play polo today, so after a group of girls arrived at the stadium, she happily went to pick out horses first.

Zhu Chanyi excitedly grabbed Su Xinyi and walked away, saying as she walked: "I heard that the polo match at the Guangping County Prince's Mansion was very exciting, but it was a pity that I didn't have the chance to watch it. I didn't expect that I could play polo with you today. Finally, my wish has come true."

Su Xinyi: ...

A group of people came to pick horses in a mighty manner. The girls were dressed in fancy clothes and were very pleasing to the eye. Regardless of whether there were grudges or not, at least everyone's excitement at this moment was real.

Xu Yuru was not very happy because she was not very good at riding a horse, let alone playing polo. Their Anding Marquis Mansion had long been in decline, and the family could not afford to raise a horse, nor would they have spare money for their sisters to learn this all year round.

Playing polo is simple, but there are many things behind this skill, such as buying a good horse, feeding it carefully, and having a horse slave who knows horses to take care of it, all of which cost money.

Xu Yuru was very angry when she saw Su Xinyi standing in front of the stable and choosing a horse. She was a country girl who grew up in the countryside and was born to a concubine who didn't get married, but her life was much more glorious than those of them who were born to legitimate wives.

Although the Duke of Qi's Mansion has not been so glorious since the death of the Fourth Master Su, the family has a strong foundation. The sons of the family not only have fine horses to choose from, but also have their own martial arts arena. It's not like their family who can't bear to buy a horse.

Zhu Chanyi picked a red horse, and Su Xinyi took a fancy to the blue horse, but it was taken away by Shu Siyang first. Looking at her proud eyes, she knew that she had been staring at her, and she must have come up to grab it when she saw that she liked this one.

Su Xinyi ignored Shu Siyang's protest, just don't cry later.

Xiong Yanhua frowned and whispered, "This guy is really... a bit annoying. Xinyi, I think the brown one over there is not bad either."

The horses raised in the polo field are not too bad, after all, they are provided for the royal family. She nodded casually, "Okay, let's choose that one."

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Qingyi on the other side walked over and picked it.

Xiong Yanhua:...

Su Xinyi:...

Li Qingyi came from the other side and obviously couldn't hear their conversation, but she still liked that horse.

This luck is really not very good.

Xiong Yanhua was silent, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I'll pick another one for you."

She didn't believe it!

Su Xinyi grabbed her hand, "Don't pick, wait until everyone has chosen before I choose."

Everything is not going well today.

Suddenly she remembered the stick in Daling Temple that day. She didn't care much about it, but things have been unsuccessful recently.

Su Xinyi waited until everyone had finished choosing, then she went up and randomly led a white horse with brown spots. It was not very tall, and looked a little different from those tall horses.

The news that the ladies were going to play polo spread quickly. The polo field was in the East Inner Courtyard, and across the wall was the East Court Hall, which was next to the Xuanzheng Hall. It didn't take long for the news to reach the emperor's ears.

"What's going on?" the emperor asked.

As the chief steward of His Majesty, Hu Siyi immediately stepped forward with a smile and replied: "Your Majesty, today the Queen Mother arranged for the ladies of Yangde Palace to play polo on the court of the East Inner Courtyard, so it is very lively there now."

The emperor paused, looked up at Hu Siyi and asked: "I remember that Prince Rong had a match with Princess Yong'an, and lost miserably."

How could Hu Siyi dare to make fun of Prince Rong, and immediately said: "I heard that Prince Rong lost, but I haven't heard the details."

Hu Siyi knew that Prince Rong lost, and lost miserably, but could he say that?

Your Majesty loves His Royal Highness Prince Rong so much, so he naturally can't say a bad word about him.
