$335: Arrest

Su Xinyi looked at the wife of Marquis Wu'an with indifference, her eyes revealing her contempt without any concealment.

When the wife of Marquis Wu'an met Su Xinyi's eyes, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and then she felt a little annoyed. What was she afraid of? After all, her family was the prince's in-laws.

"Madam, are you treating everyone as fools?" Su Xinyi didn't intend to save her face. It was really a waste for her to have a face on her.

"What?" The wife of Marquis Wu'an looked at Su Xinyi in astonishment. What did this mean?

"Miss You came from Luzhou and ran into His Majesty outside the city. What a coincidence. Later, she was brought to the palace to ask the Queen to allow her to attend the summer banquet. As a result, she broke a cup at the banquet and attracted His Majesty's attention. Yesterday, Miss You had another accident. It happened again and again. One person did it again and again. It's either a coincidence or an accident. Do you really think that others don't know your plan?" Mrs. Wu'an's face seemed to be burning, and then it was covered with a layer of black. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "What does the Crown Princess mean by this? I really don't understand. I just asked the Crown Princess to pass on a message for the sake of the relationship between the two families. If the Crown Princess doesn't want to speak directly, then why be so embarrassed? Insulting the minister and Xiangru. "

Su Xinyi couldn't help but sneer when she heard the righteous words of the wife of Wu'an Marquis, "Madam, I don't know whether you believe it or not." After speaking, she glanced around. Even if there were people in the distance, no one approached her without knowing the tact. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the wife of Wu'an Marquis, lowering her voice and said, "If you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself. I don't know how the Empress, who is the Marquis of Wu'an, will face you in the future. For the sake of future interests, she actually wants to send You Xiangru to the dragon bed. She is so shameless!"

The wife of Wu'an Marquis: ...

Su Xinyi raised her head immediately after scolding people, and the smile on her face was still warm and gentle. She didn't wait for the other party to fight back and walked away, suffocating her.

The wife of Wu'an Marquis was so angry that her eyes went black for a while, and then she recalled Su Xinyi's words and felt cold from beginning to end. She dared to say that, and the prince must have known it.

Mrs. Wu'an felt cold hands and feet. Although they had never been close to the prince, they were still somewhat fearless after all, as the prince's in-laws. But now Su Xinyi dared to say such ruthless words, which meant that the prince was very dissatisfied with Wu'an Marquis's mansion.

At this moment, Mrs. Wu'an felt a chill on her back, and she was so scared that she broke out in a sweat.

There were people coming and going around, and Mrs. Wu'an didn't want to be discovered that their relationship with the prince had fallen to the bottom, so she forced a smile and walked back slowly.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Before, they thought that even if Xiangru entered the palace, what would happen? Throughout history, many sisters entered the palace together, and there were not a few aunts and nephews entering the palace. What would happen to aunts and nephews?

If the former queen had not died young and the prince was cold by nature, why would they bother to deal with it so much?

Mrs. Wu'an became more and more angry as she thought about it, and her previous fear slowly dissipated.

Su Xinyi scared the wife of Marquis Wu'an, and she was in a very good mood. The depression she felt last night was relieved a lot. She even greeted several ladies she met along the way.

What happened last night had spread throughout the camp a long time ago. Today, everyone's expressions were full of gossip. Even when they met the Crown Princess, some people asked about it.

Su Xinyi naturally would not reveal anything easily. She always said she didn't know. Who dared to catch her and ask questions?

Soon, His Majesty ordered the camp to be moved back to Beijing.

Su Xinyi took advantage of the time when Lian Qiao and the others were packing up to meet her aunt and mother, and happened to meet several brothers there.

Su Bei looked at Su Xinyi and smiled, "Sixth sister, you came at the right time. The things you asked us to do have been arranged. Now we have to move the camp back to Beijing. I will let people notify Zhan Qiao about the follow-up matters after we get the news back to Beijing."

Su Xinyi nodded, "I am naturally relieved that the third brother is doing things."

The eldest lady said on the side: "I didn't expect that there would be so many involvements in what happened last night. I have to inform your grandfather and uncle after I go back."

"Thank you, aunt. Even the King of Xiang was plotted against last night. It can be seen that there must be a mastermind behind the scenes. We have no idea who the enemy is now. Please be careful, family members." Su Xinyi said hurriedly.

The fourth lady was worried and looked at her daughter and said softly: "Your eldest brother is still in the south, and I don't know if he will be in danger. I remember that you said that King Rong would return to Beijing soon. Why is there no news now?"

If King Rong returns to Beijing, Su Yi will naturally be soon.

Su Xinyi shook her head, "I'm not sure now. I'll ask His Highness and then tell my family."

The first lady looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Your elder brother is so old now. He knows how to take care of himself. If it's inconvenient, don't ask. How can I trouble His Highness the Crown Prince for everything?"

The first lady was worried that there were too many things to do in her family, and Xinyi would lose face in front of the Crown Prince.

Soon, Cuiqiao came to urge her, and Su Xinyi had to say goodbye to her family and leave.

The fourth lady sighed softly at her daughter's back, and the first lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, my fourth sister-in-law. I see that Xinyi has her own ideas in her heart, and she will definitely be fine."

The fourth lady said, "Sister-in-law, who did the black hand last night?"

The first lady shook her head, "It's hard to say now. This situation is a bit hard to see through."

I originally thought that Concubine Li and her son had joined forces with the Marquis of Wu'an, but now it is Prince Xiang and You Xiangzhe who are unlucky. They cannot harm themselves. There must be another hand behind this, but we don't know who it is. .

The eldest lady is very worried. The enemy is not scary. What is scary is the invisible enemy, like a knife hanging from the top.

On the way back to Beijing, Su Xinyi did not ride a horse this time, but sat calmly in the carriage. The prince accompanied his majesty in the carriage, and the two couples looked at each other from a distance.

After entering the city, the prince escorted His Majesty back to the palace first. Su Xinyi's carriage turned in the direction of the East Palace. The ladies from other mansions naturally went back to their respective mansions. Only a few important ministers were summoned to the palace by His Majesty.

It seemed that there was a hint of tension in the air. After returning to the East Palace, the tense nerves slowly eased. Su Xinyi changed into regular clothes and entered the study after a brief familiarization.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Jian came with a letter.

Su Xinyi didn't expect that the letter was for her. The signature on the envelope made her eyes light up. She immediately opened the letter. The letter was written very simply. It was not like King Rong's style. In the past, it would have been nagging for several pages. He was willing to give up, but now he only had one page and only wrote two things. The first was that he was about to arrive in the capital. The letter was sent two days before his departure. It was estimated that he would arrive in the capital in about two days on the road. The second thing was Talked about the current situation in Zhangping Mansion.

The aftermath matters were numerous, complex, and very trivial. King Rong did not claim credit this time. He only said that the new magistrate sent by the imperial court was very capable. When Su Xinyi saw the last thing, King Rong mentioned that before setting off, he took people to go outside the customs. After walking around, they couldn't wait for Suden and others' caravan to return to the city.

Su Xinyi sighed softly, the battle with the Tatars was all in chaos, and he didn't know if his cousin's caravan was affected. The situation on the grassland must have changed a lot. I hope they have a safe journey.

Fortunately, they had been heading west. As long as they were not in Tatar territory, there should be no big problem with their safety. This was the only thing Su Xinyi could comfort herself with.

Now King Rong said that their caravan has not returned to the city yet, which is good news for Su Xinyi. Not returning to the city means that they have gone very far. The further they go, the farther they are from the war. When they return to the city, , the Tatar side will not be as tense as just after the war.

Moreover, Pang Lan and Mu Xing are still there. In order to avoid risks, they may take a detour.

If you take a detour, the time will inevitably be extended.

Su Xinyi put the letter away, changed her clothes, and went to Yuanhui Palace to inform the queen.

After walking all the way with Delphinium, Su Xinyi hadn't arrived at Yuanhui Palace yet, but on the way he saw Concubine Qi Xian coming from the Imperial Garden with a look of surprise.

Now that they have met, they have to come forward to greet them.

Concubine Qi Xian was stunned for a moment when she saw Su Xinyi, then she calmed down her expression and said with a smile, "Where are you going, Crown Princess?"

Su Xinyi and Concubine Qi Xian had never had much contact. They usually met at Yuanhui Palace. However, Concubine Qi Xian was paying greetings to the Queen, and Su Xinyi had not said a few words to her.

"We are going to Yuan Hui Palace." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Concubine Qi Xian looked at Su Xinyi, smiled, and then said: "I'm afraid it's unlucky that the Queen is not in Yuanhui Palace at the moment."

Su Xinyi smiled when he heard this, "In that case, it's an unlucky time for me to come. Thank you, Concubine Xian, for informing me."

Concubine Qi Xian said: "It's just a matter of words, what can it do? But this hunting of the Crown Princess became a blockbuster. You are indeed very capable."

Su Xinyi couldn't figure out what Concubine Qi Xian meant when she said this, so she humbly said, "It's just a coincidence. If Concubine Xian has nothing else to do, I will take the first step."

Concubine Qi Xian then stepped out of the way and said, "Prince Concubine, please do as you please."

Su Xinyi said goodbye to Concubine Qi Xian with a smile, but did not return to the East Palace. Instead, she continued to move forward. The empress was not in Yuanhui Palace, so she left the message to Aunt Zhao.

What's more, when Concubine Qi Xian came from the Imperial Garden just now, she obviously looked not in a good mood. She didn't know what happened in this short period of time.

It's just bad luck that not only the queen is not here, but also Aunt Zhao. When Su Xinyi saw her, she didn't leave a message and planned to come back tomorrow.

On the other hand, Concubine Qi Xian returned to her Zhaoyang Palace with a sullen face. She got angry halfway and thought about it before turning around and heading to Chunze Palace.

Concubine Ruan Ming did not expect that Concubine Qi Xian would come over at this time and welcome people in. Seeing that Concubine Qi Xian didn't look well, she immediately became a little more careful and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Concubine Xian?"

After Concubine Qi Xian sat down, she looked at Concubine Ruan Ming and said: "People are really incomparable. You said something happened to Prince Xiang. What does it have to do with us? Didn't I feel a little depressed when I came back from the car, so I went to the Imperial Garden? I didn't want to meet Concubine Li, but I was scolded by her. "

Concubine Ruan Ming was really shocked by these words and said: "Concubine, if you are not busy with Prince Xiang's affairs now, are you still in the mood to go to the garden?"

This is unlikely, right?

Prince Xiang is the lifeblood of Concubine Li, so how could he ignore her?

After listening to Concubine Ruan Ming's words, Concubine Qi Xian sighed, "It's not my luck. Concubine Li asked to see your majesty but your majesty refused. She turned around and called the empress. You said Concubine Li was holding back her anger. ”

She was unlucky today. She could encounter such a thing while walking in the garden. How could she explain it?

Concubine Ruan Ming sighed after hearing this, "There's nothing we can do about it, we can't compete."

What can't be compared?

They both knew it well.

When they first entered the palace, they were both pretty girls and had their days of glory, but they couldn't stand up to Concubine Li's skills, her ability to invite favors and be a good person, so they were compared to dregs. Fortunately, the two of them were lucky, and the days of being favored did not last long. However, the pregnancy came early, and they gave birth to sons one after another. Only then could they become concubines and establish themselves in the harem.

However, although she is a concubine, she is far inferior to the favored Concubine Li and lacks confidence.

"Humph." Concubine Qi Xian's face was not so good, "It's okay if we can't compete, but it's hard to tell the children." At this point, she rolled her eyes and lowered her voice: "You said Prince Xiang and You Xiangzhi were blocked this time In the tent, I heard that if someone is disheveled, then he should be married off, right? "

Concubine Ruan Ming was startled, "Marry her home? Impossible, then You Xiangzhe is just the daughter of the tea horse ambassador, how can she be Princess Xiang? One Aunt Fu in Prince Xiang's Mansion is enough to quell Concubine Li's anger, and another You Xiangzhe Xiangzhi still can’t shake the world?”

After hearing Concubine Ruan Ming's words, Concubine Qi Xian had a slightly cold smile on her face, "There is a Marquis of Wu'an Mansion behind You Xiangzhi. You said that the Marquis Wu'an Mansion spent so much effort to get people here this time. She can't squeeze in, and she can't fight. I think they must keep an eye on Princess Xiang's position. "

Ruan Mingfei was silent, her mind was spinning rapidly, she paused for a while, and then slowly said: "I'm afraid it's impossible for the main concubine, but there is still hope for the side concubine."

Concubine Qi Xian pointed in the direction of the East Palace and sneered, "Concubine? I'm afraid she won't be so lucky either."

Ruan Mingfei was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Sister Xianfei is right. With Miss You's face, it's impossible. Either she is a real concubine or she doesn't come in."

That face was very similar to that of the late empress. It would be very uncomfortable to have such a face as a concubine for Prince Xiang.

The two of them are like this, not to mention what His Majesty is thinking about in the East Palace.

"I'm afraid your concubine may be in trouble this time." Concubine Qi Xian sneered.

Concubine Ruan Ming said sadly: "What's the point of fighting? It's not as relaxing as us."

Concubine Qi Xian:...

It's not that she doesn't want to fight, but she doesn't have the ability. If she has the means and family background of Concubine Li, she will naturally fight for her son.

Not only Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming are paying attention to You Xiangzhe's whereabouts, but many people inside and outside are also paying attention.

At this time, Yan Junchu was meeting the saint.

He had some confessions in his hand, and coupled with the previous testimony provided by Mrs. Andinghou, even he himself was a little doubtful about the direction of the matter.

The more times like this, the less likely Yan Junchu will hide anything. He and his father are father and son, and they are also emperor and minister.

"My son, I looked at the several pieces of evidence together and found that the matter was very subtle. I also asked my father to take a look at it." Yan Junchu offered his mouth.

Hu Siyi hurriedly walked over and bent down to take it. Then he turned around and walked to His Majesty. He placed the confession on the imperial desk, then bent down and stepped aside.

The emperor did not go to get a confession, but looked at the prince, "What do you think?"

Yan Junchu met his father's gaze and said without hesitation: "The imperial doctor checked his pulse and found that there were indeed traces of the medicine in Jiu Di's body, which shows that his statement is correct. He did take the drug by mistake, which made him excited for a short time and slightly lost his mind. Drugs. Under such circumstances, what he did to Miss You was beyond his control and was understandable.”

The emperor lowered his head slightly and did not know what he was thinking about but did not speak.

When Yan Junchu saw him, he paused and continued, "As for the source of the medicine that the ninth brother mistakenly took, according to the clues provided by Mrs. Andinghou, the matter is related to Xu Yurong, but Xu Yurong is now practicing in Yuling Temple, She is usually not allowed to go out easily. Whether this medicine came from her still needs to be summoned and interrogated. In addition, even if this thing belongs to Xu Yurong, then whose hands did she give the medicine to King Xiang, and who is the guard who showed Miss You the way? The purpose and the master behind it need to be continued to be traced.”

The emperor finally raised his eyes and looked at the prince, "Then the guard committed suicide after being caught?"

"Yes, we haven't caught him yet. I just saw someone summoning him, so he took poison and committed suicide." Yan Junchu sighed softly, "Father, this man despises his own life so much, it shows that he should be trained to die. "

"Is this where the clue ends?"

Yan Junchu nodded, "Yes, if we can still find a breakthrough, we can only interrogate Xu Yurong."

The emperor suddenly said: "This Xu family seems to have had some relationship with the queen?"

"Yes, Mrs. Xu was once the queen's niece and nephew," Yan Junchu said.

Seeing that the emperor was still frowning, Yan Junchu added, "Last time, because of Liang Ju's case, the Shu family was also implicated in it. Mrs. Xu and Shu Xuebo reconciled, and after returning to her natal family, she was rejected and kicked out of the house. , Later, Xu went to Yuling Temple to teach him. "

Thinking of this old case, the emperor's face darkened, "It seems that this Xu family is indeed not a law-abiding person. Let's arrest him for questioning."

Once the guard who pointed the way died, all the clues were cut off. If you wanted to find the person behind the scenes, you had to catch the person who provided the medicine. Xu Yurong couldn't escape this time.

"Yes, I will send someone to Yuling Temple right now." Yan Junchu responded decisively, and after a slight hesitation, Taiyou looked at His Majesty and hesitated to speak, "Father, the matter between Ninth Brother and Miss You... There are a lot of rumors outside now, and if it can’t be dealt with as soon as possible, I’m afraid that Ninth Brother’s reputation will also be affected.”

The emperor met the prince's frank gaze. When he mentioned You Xiangru, it was as if he was talking about a stranger. The emperor slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "You go and do your own thing. I have my own plans."
