232: King Rong Was so Angry that He Could Spit Out Fire
Every year, the military patrol pays the most attention to the generals, while the civil officials do not care. However, this year, because Su Yi was seriously injured, everyone suddenly paid attention.
Everyone was not surprised to learn that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the imperial physician. After all, Princess Yong'an is the future Crown Princess. Even if it is just a show, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot ignore it.
Seeing the Duke of Qi's Mansion investigating the specific matters of the competition, it makes people feel a little bit subtle. Therefore, the Duke of Qi's Mansion has been very low-key since Su Chun died in the battle. Now it is suddenly so high-profile, and there is a feeling of impending storm.
Thinking of this, everyone thought again that in the past year or so, it seems that the Duke of Qi's Mansion has always appeared in everyone's conversation. It is really because Princess Yong'an is too troublesome. Since she came back, she always makes some noise every few days.
One by one, it is not something that an ordinary woman can do.
When Su Baiwei and the Shi family divorced, Su Xinyi challenged the Duke of Qin's mansion alone with a gun. In the end, Su Baiwei successfully divorced, and there was no Duke of Qin's mansion in the world.
Now that Su Yi was injured, I don't know what the county lady will do.
After Su Xinyi heard that her brothers knew that she couldn't go out for the time being, her gloating expression was too obvious.
Especially Su Qi laughed so happily that even Su Yi, who was on the sickbed, laughed so hard that his injury was almost affected.
Su Chu said cheerfully, "This is a good opportunity for the sixth sister to take a break. As brothers, we have to give her a chance to help."
Su Xinyi said, "Fifth brother is still the best. As sisters, we are waiting for good news from the brothers."
Su Qi sighed, looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Let's check the information we found and see what happens."
Whether it is Wu Daohong or Liang Ju, they have not been able to find any useful information. Su Xinyi's news about Yan Qiongsi is a breakthrough. Su Xinyi has not been able to find any useful information about Li Muyan, and Luo Shaodeng has not had time to check.
Su Qi took a pen and paper and listed them one by one. Su Xinyi didn't expect that one day she would be too big to go out. She pointed at Li Xiangxiu's name and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with Li Muyan and his sister. I couldn't find anything from Li Muyan. Let's see if I can get useful information from Li Xiangxiu." At this point, she paused and looked at her brothers, "Li Xiangxiu married Luo Shaodeng, and Luo Shaodeng's aunt is the Princess of Pingjing County."
Several people discussed how to act carefully. Su Xinyi took a breath and looked at her eldest brother and asked softly, "Brother, when you were fighting with Wu Daohong, you really felt something was wrong, right?"
Su Yi nodded, "I was indeed prepared. He is very familiar with my moves and restrained me everywhere. Obviously, he prepared in advance. Moreover, I can feel that he slightly withdrew his strength when he hurt me at the end."
Su Xinyi said in a deep voice, "This does not mean that he has a guilty conscience. He just doesn't dare to really take the eldest brother's life. You can still say that the serious injury is a mistake in the competition, But he couldn't explain his killing in public unless he was really mad with rage."
Su Yi nodded slightly, leaning against the soft pillow and recalling carefully, and after a while he said: "This year's competition is different from previous years. This is my second year participating. Compared with last year, this year's competition seems to be more intense than previous years."
"Why?" Su Xinyi asked with great interest.
Su Yi thought for a while and said: "It's like last year everyone stopped at a certain point and decided who was better. But this year I'm not the first one to get hurt. It seems that it's not possible to decide who is better this year. I can't explain it clearly, but I can feel that the commanders above seem to be competing secretly. "
Not only Su Xinyi, Su Qi and others also turned their heads when they heard this.
Su Bei immediately said, "Brother, have you told my uncle about this?"
Su Yi shook his head, "It was only when my sixth sister asked me that I suddenly remembered it."
Su Qi said, "Then we should report it to the elders. If your feeling is correct, then things may be worse than we think."
Su Xinyi felt that what her second brother said made sense. She looked at her brothers and said, "I plan to go out tomorrow night to test Wu Daohong's skills."
Hmm?
Several people were stunned at the same time, and Su Qi immediately said: "Sixth sister, what do you want to do? Don't be impulsive."
Su Yi also said: "Sixth sister, no."
Su Bei said with a heavy face, "Sixth sister, if you take action at this time, everyone will know that it was you who did it. Isn't this just covering one's ears and stealing the bell? Calm down."
Su Xinyi looked at her brothers solemnly, "Now we can't get evidence. We know that Wu Daohong did it, but there is no way to bring him to justice. If we continue to investigate like this, maybe they can even destroy the last evidence. So instead of waiting for evidence, it's better to use their own spear to attack their shield. Let's give them no evidence!"
Su Qi has always been the smartest. He vaguely understood the sixth sister's method, but he still asked uncertainly: "Are you sure you can find someone to guarantee you?"
Su Xinyi felt that with the friendship between her and King Rong who had shared hardships several times, she should be willing to give false testimony for herself.
"Yes." Su Xinyi said decisively. She didn't do anything evil, she just wanted to find the truth.
Prince Rong is the best candidate.
"So what are you going to do?" Su Qi was in a headache. He decided to first ask about the plan and then check for any deficiencies.
Su Xinyi looked at the brothers and said, "You have to cover this matter for me. The elders will definitely disagree if they find out about it. Let's keep it secret and let Wu Daohong suffer a hidden loss first. Let's vent our anger first."
Su Yi:......
"Xiao Liu, you don't have to be like this." Su Yi is the eldest brother and has always protected his younger brothers and sisters. But since he met the sixth sister, he always seems to be the one being protected and feels very guilty.
"Brother, I can't suffer any loss. Although you are not in danger of life, but you have three broken ribs. Doesn't it hurt? Your recuperation will take at least half a year. You said you can't go on errands for half a year. Your Will you be blamed for your errand? Since you can’t find out for the time being what the purpose of others is to hurt you, then I will fight him for ten seconds. I want to see Wu Daoen, this bitch, fall down. What will the master behind do?"
As soon as Su Xinyi said this, Su Chu immediately said: "Sixth sister is right, we can't just swallow this loss. They know that we can't find any evidence, so they want us to admit our loss."
Su Ju swallowed his saliva, "Do you really want to do this? After what happens, I'm afraid we all have to go to the ancestral hall."
"Fourth brother, are you scared?" Su Chu asked back.
Su Ju looked at his younger brother, "I'm not afraid. It's just the first time I've done something like this, so I'm a little panicked."
Su Qi advised seriously: "It's okay. Since we abandoned literature and practiced martial arts, you will gradually get used to this kind of thing."
Su Ju:......
Of course, I don’t really want to get used to it.
He has started practicing martial arts, but after studying for so many years, he still thinks like a scholar. For a while, he was a little acclimated to Sixth Sister's style of taking action whenever she disagreed.
Now he finally understood how his second brother felt when he escorted his sixth sister back to Huaining.
Su Bei, who has always had a gentle temper, also said at this time: "I think it is feasible, but our plan is careful. Sixth sister, you first said that you want to create evidence of alibi, who will vouch for you? This person must have weight, You have to be willing to help you. Our family is definitely not good enough, and others won’t believe it.”
Su Xinyi said: "I'm going to see His Highness Prince Rong and ask him for a favor."
"His Royal Highness King Rong? Are you so familiar with His Highness? Do you dare to vouch for this kind of thing?" Su Bei was shocked.
Su Xinyi was not completely sure, but he was about 70% to 80% sure, so he nodded, "Absolutely. Don't look at His Highness Rong Wang showing off like a big rooster, but he is actually somewhat righteous. And he is somewhat like me. Friendship, if our family encounters such misfortune, His Highness Prince Rong will probably take action. "
"What if His Royal Highness Prince Rong doesn't agree?" Su Qi felt that this matter was too suspenseful, "This would also expose your plan."
"I'll go find out first." Su Xinyi looked at everyone and said, "If I can convince His Highness Prince Rong to eliminate harm for the people and act righteously, then I will have to ask my brothers to cover things at home for me."
Su Chu was still a little uneasy. He looked at his elder brother and said softly: "Brother, if the sixth sister really succeeds, I think the follow-up is the most important thing. Have you figured out how to confess to your family?"
Su Yi, an honest man, said with a smile at this time: "As a person who is bedridden and recuperating, I probably don't have to face such a storm."
Brother, you have changed!
Su Qi covered his face and looked at what their honest and honest eldest brother had been taught by his sixth sister.
Su Bei, Su Ju and Su Chu were all defeated by the eldest brother's shamelessness. Can this still happen?
Su Xinyi felt the extension of several brothers looking over, "What are you looking at me doing?"
She didn't do anything?
After everyone discussed it, they split up. Su Xinyi first asked Zhan Qiao to deliver a letter to King Rong and ask him to meet him. Then she acted like she was staying at home. When the time was about to come, Su Ju, an honest man, invited Su Xinyi to the study. Su Xinyi changed into men's clothes from the third brother's side and went out.
It was the first time in Su Ju's life that he had done such a thing. He was so nervous that he sent the person away. It took him a while to recover.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to do bad things.
King Rong looked bored, so he took Su Xinyi's letter without thinking too much and strolled to the appointment.
When they arrived at the place, everyone was shocked after hearing Su Xinyi's words, "What did you say? Say it again!"
"I know that Your Majesty has always helped the poor and those in need, and has a righteous heart. Now that my elder brother has suffered such injustice, His Majesty will definitely help him, right?"
It was rare for King Rong to be praised by Su Xinyi. When he heard what she said, although he knew that she had no good intentions, he still couldn't help but feel proud. He looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Is Su Yi okay?"
Su Xinyi had a serious look on his face, "I have three broken ribs, and I will have to stay in bed for at least three months and recuperate for half a year to recover. My lord, think about it, if your relative suffers such a crime, don't you want to seek justice for him?"
King Rong felt that he would definitely want it, but it didn’t matter who it was. If it were King Xiang, he would want to watch the excitement even more.
But as for Su Xinyi, his future sister-in-law, he now has a good relationship with his eldest brother, who is quite protective of him, and even spoke for him in front of his father last time.
For the sake of my eldest brother, it’s not impossible.
"Then you have to tell me clearly first. Who do you suspect when Su Yi is injured?"
Su Xinyi glanced at King Rong, held it in for a long time and said, "I suspect it has something to do with Concubine Li."
"Stop talking, I will testify for you." King Rong decided directly. As long as King Xiang was not happy, he would be happy.
Su Xinyi looked at the joy of Prince Rong and suddenly felt that she was going in the wrong direction. She shouldn't have said so much nonsense and should have just brought up Prince Xiang directly.
"Speaking of which, where are you going to start?" Prince Rong suddenly thought of a question, "Wu Daohong should not be able to go home now, the military patrol has not ended yet."
Su Xinyi said, "I have already inquired about it. After Wu Daohong competed with my eldest brother, he has basically determined the final winner of the affiliated imperial guards. He will participate in the final competition of each guard after getting the quota, so he doesn't have to stay in the army all the time and can go home every day."
After finding out so clearly, Prince Rong knew that Su Xinyi had made up her mind. He looked at Su Xinyi again, "Are you sure you can beat Wu Daohong? You have to know that Wu Daohong is the winner among the more than 20,000 guards of the four guards of the imperial guards. Don't brag. It will be embarrassing to get beaten instead of revenge."
Although Prince Rong wanted to see Su Xinyi embarrassed, he was a little entangled when he thought that her embarrassment was his eldest brother's embarrassment.
The fake brotherhood in the past has now become a bit of real affection, and he still has to protect his elder brother's face.
Thinking of this, Prince Rong's mind turned quickly, and without waiting for Su Xinyi to answer, he immediately said: "Besides, no matter what weapon you use, if you use a spear or the soles of your feet, everyone will doubt you. If you use a knife, many people have seen your knife skills."
Su Xinyi said: "Don't worry about this, Your Majesty, I have my own way."
Prince Rong looked at Su Xinyi's confident look, and couldn't help but complain in his heart. She really didn't take Wu Daohong seriously. If she looked at it this way, Wu Daohong, the first of the Imperial Guards, didn't seem to be that good.
"When are you going to do it?"
"Tomorrow night."
Prince Rong slapped the table, "Okay, then meet at Changxing Bridge tomorrow night?"
Wu Daohong lived in Yongningfang and happened to pass by Changxing Bridge.
Thinking of Changxing Bridge, Su Xinyi couldn't help but think of Yan Qiongsi, so she said, "Your Highness, if you go to Changxing Bridge, what will you say when others ask you?"
"Of course, I'll go for a drink. The Yuhelou wine at Changxing Bridge is very famous." Prince Rong looked at Su Xinyi smugly, "You don't know this, right? You and I met by chance at Yuhelou, so it's only natural for me to treat you to a glass of water and wine."
Su Xinyi shook her head, "No, Changxing Bridge is too close to Yongningfang. It only takes a cup of tea to get from Changxing Bridge to Yongningfang. Others will definitely doubt that I have time to run back and forth."
Prince Rong thought so too, "Then where do you want to stay?"
"Yuande Opera House in Huangjinfang, Your Highness goes to listen to opera, and I also go to listen to opera, it's really normal to meet by chance." Su Xinyi said.
Prince Rong was stunned, "If this is set in Huangjinfang, you will have to cross most of the capital. Will you make it in time?"
"In time." Su Xinyi had already planned the time, "Please go to Yuande Theater at 2:30 tomorrow."
"Okay." Since Prince Rong agreed to help, he didn't think it was troublesome. "You will owe me a favor after the matter is done. If I need your help in the future, you must help me."
Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong intently, "As long as it is not murder or arson and violates the law, I will definitely help."
Prince Rong was angry, "Do you have a conscience when you say this? Am I not helping you kill people?"
"Correction, I just want to beat people, not to kill people."
Prince Rong angrily threw his sleeves and left. Well, anyway, he couldn't beat him or talk him out, so he couldn't leave?
Halfway through the journey, Prince Rong was still angry, and turned a corner when passing by the East Palace. He couldn't beat him or talk, so could he not complain?
Su Xinyi quietly returned to the mansion without disturbing others. She went to her fourth brother's place to change clothes, told him what happened, and then returned to her own courtyard.
The next day, Su Xinyi went to the martial arts field to practice martial arts as usual, then went to pay respects to her grandmother, went to her grandfather's place, and finally visited her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law to chat for a while, and teased Yan Ge'er before returning to her own courtyard.
Because Su Yi was injured, the elders in the family were very busy. Even the eldest master only told Xinyi not to go out recently. I didn't expect that she would plan so carefully to do bad things.
Su Xinyi read books in the study for a whole morning. After taking a nap, she went to study again. After reading for a long time, she greeted the people in the courtyard and said that she was going to her eldest brother's place to accompany him to relieve his boredom.
Because Su Xinyi and Su Yi had a good relationship, no one suspected it.
When Su Xinyi came to Su Yi's place, she immediately changed into the servant's clothes, fiddled with the mirror for a long time, painted her face slightly black, and then slightly thickened her heroic eyebrows. When she came out, Su Yi was stunned.
"How is it, big brother."
"Okay, I can't recognize you if I don't look carefully." Su Yi's mouth twitched. The long-serving servant beside him didn't seem so ugly.
Su Xinyi walked directly from the big brother's yard. It was the long-serving servant beside the big brother who led her out. The doorman didn't look carefully when she went out.
After Su Xinyi came out, she went to a ready-made clothing shop on the way and bought a black robe that was the most common on the street. She stuffed it into her bag and went to the private room she had asked Wu Shun to book in advance when she arrived at Yuande Theater.
After entering the private room, she changed into the clothes she bought, carefully arranged her appearance in front of the mirror, thought about it, and took out the mustache and slowly glued it on. After gluing it, she took the small scissors and carefully trimmed it. Then she nodded in front of the mirror with satisfaction.
After packing up, she went out and took a leisurely stroll. Soon she saw Sheng Siming, the guard beside Prince Rong, and she walked over.
Sheng Siming stretched out his hand to stop the person who came over, "His Royal Highness Prince Rong is here, no one is allowed to approach."
Su Xinyi subconsciously touched his face, coughed lightly, and said, "Master Sheng, didn't you recognize me?"
Sheng Siming looked at the person in front of him in astonishment, "County... County Lord?"
Su Xinyi nodded, "Can I go in?"
Sheng Siming nodded subconsciously, and waited until the Princess of Yong'an County went in, and then he suddenly came to his senses. He really didn't recognize her!
Su Xinyi smiled and walked in. When he raised his head, the smile on his face froze. He couldn't believe who he saw.
Yan Junchu was originally a graceful and elegant young man, born with a heavenly appearance. At this time, he sat by the window. The warm light of the setting sun set off his elegant and cold jade-like face, which made him more handsome and graceful.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dressed in white, with cold eyebrows and eyes. Compared with Su Xinyi's black clothes, it was simply inhumane.
Prince Rong couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea, and then burst into laughter, which was simply unstoppable.
Su Xinyi: ...
Prince Rong met Su Xinyi's cold eyes and stopped laughing. This couldn't be blamed on him, right?
He went to the East Palace to complain, but who knew that his elder brother would ask him all his secrets in a few words. If his elder brother wanted to come, what could he do?
"What are you standing for? Sit down and talk."
After hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Su Xinyi had no choice but to walk over and sit down. He was really like an ant on a hot pot.
Seeing Su Xinyi's nervous look, Yan Junchu lowered his eyes slightly, and then looked at Su Xinyi again, "There is still time, tell me what you want to do. Didn't I tell you not to be anxious and wait?"
Although Su Xinyi felt guilty in front of His Royal Highness, she couldn't help but said after hearing what His Royal Highness said, "I want to see if they can react. It's not easy to find out the real evidence in a short time, so I thought it would be better to take the initiative instead of waiting."
Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi who was obviously guilty, but still insisted on explaining herself, and sighed slightly in his heart. He just felt that for such a matter, she would rather ask Prince Rong for help than to think of looking for him.
Yan Junchu smiled, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "If you have such an idea, why don't you discuss it with me?"
Su Xinyi said in surprise, "How can His Royal Highness get involved in such a shameful thing?"
Prince Rong:?
What do you mean?
"Su Xinyi, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by not being able to see the light? You're still looking for me when you can't see the light?" Prince Rong was so angry that his eyes could spit fire.
This person can't be treated, his mind is not right! Good guy, her family's prince can't get involved, it seems that he is just her stepping stone.
Su Xinyi immediately said: "Don't get me wrong, my lord, I'm just thinking that among the three of us, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most powerful. Even if what we did is exposed one day, the only one who can save us is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you think? So protecting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is protecting ourselves."
Prince Rong's expression eased when he heard this, as if there was some truth in it.
Then he thought again, no, what does it mean to be exposed one day?
Su Xinyi immediately turned her head to prevent Prince Rong from seeing the guilt on her face. Yan Junchu lowered his head and smiled lightly, and Prince Rong was so angry that he kept throwing his luck.
"Okay, you're really good. I tell you, you have to help me twice today, otherwise I won't do it." Prince Rong wanted to flip the table, but he didn't dare to do it because his elder brother was here.
Su Xinyi thought that he was so easy to coax, so she agreed immediately.
Yan Junchu looked at the two of them and asked slowly: "Help me twice, what's the matter?"
