447: Your Highness, Please Pay Attention

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Lu Minglin's sister?"

Mu Xing nodded calmly. What he said was the truth, not a single word was false. As for how Jie Jinglue explained to the Crown Princess, that was his business.

I'd rather die than die with my friend.

"Doesn't Lu Minglin's sister know that Jie Jinglue had a hand in her brother's death?" Su Xinyi asked again in astonishment.

Mu Xing was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm not very clear about the details, but I know one thing, Lu Yunhua and Lu Minglin are not siblings, and their relationship is not very harmonious."

Su Xinyi:...

This is really a mess, and there are all kinds of things. If that's the case, Lu Yunhua's purpose of pursuing Jie Jinglue is probably not simple.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi looked at Mu Xing again, "At the beginning, you two deliberately got injured to lure Lu Minglin into the trap..."

Mu Xing's expression moved when he heard this, and his eyes unconsciously turned around.

Su Xinyi almost laughed out of anger. It was rare for her to feel guilty. She continued, "As a result, Lu Minglin is more cunning than you thought. He must have learned a lesson this time."

Mu Xing said nothing.

Su Xinyi knew that too much is as bad as too little. She sighed in her heart and did not say anything more about it. Instead, she changed the subject, "You are idle at Zeng Liang's place now, and I have something to give you."

Mu Xing's mouth twitched, "Can't we wait until after the New Year?"

"You are trying to make up for your crime now."

Mu Xing shut up immediately. Since he boarded Su Xinyi's black ship, he knew it would not be easy to get off.

"You've heard about Wu Shun just now. I'm not sure who Xu Yurong should be entrusted to. You don't need to intervene in Yan Qiongsi's affairs, but there must be a deal between Xu Yurong and Yan Qiongsi that we don't know about. I want you to find out about this matter. Can you do it?"

Su Xinyi felt that although His Highness thought that Xu Yurong had no value, and her last value was to set off Jiang Moyang, she had memories of her previous life, and she always felt that someone like Xu Yurong would definitely leave a way out for herself, and there would not be only one way.

The people under His Highness couldn't pry open Xu Yurong's hand, and they might be fooled by Xu Yurong's disguise, but she felt that Xu Yurong shouldn't be convicted just like that.

However, who should be asked to interrogate Xu Yurong was a difficult problem, but it was solved now.

Mu Xing was silent for a long time this time. He didn't expect that he would be a sentinel, a guard, an assassin, and a slave for Su Xinyi, but now he had to do the job of interrogating a jailer, which was a bit beyond his business scope.

"You should know, I'm just an assassin."

"I know, you added a little less, in my heart you are an omnipotent assassin."

Mu Xing turned and left. If she continued to fool him, he felt that he might really become a big fool, and he would do whatever she said.

"Are you going or not?"

Su Xinyi's unhurried voice came from behind, and Mu Xing wanted to say, no!

But with Su Xinyi's skinning personality, if he didn't go, she would probably ask Zeng Liang for help. Thinking about how hard it was for old man Zeng to take care of him these days, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

Su Xinyi was so cunning, she must have taken this into account. Why didn't she ask him to do anything when he just came back to recuperate?

Mu Xing left with a dark face, and Su Xinyi was also slightly relieved. She didn't expect it to be so smooth. She thought that Mu Xing's personality would refuse it. It seems that it is a good idea to let him go to Zeng Liang.

This person will always be affected by others after being with others for a long time. Mu Xing is now stained with some of Zeng Liang's fireworks, which is also a good thing.

When Yan Junchu came back, Su Xinyi told him about this with a smile. He was stunned at first, but then he smiled, "Thanks to you for coming up with this idea. I originally planned to let Zhang Jian go to question her in person."

"Do you also think Xu Yurong is still valuable?" Su Xinyi was quite surprised, "Last time I heard you say that, I thought it was over."

"The Ministry of Justice is trying Yan Qiongsi and encountered some obstacles, so they came to discuss with me." Yan Junchu changed into his casual clothes and sat next to Xinyi and said slowly.

Su Xinyi was not surprised at all, "Yan Qiongsi has always been very self-righteous in the capital. It is not difficult to get her to cooperate or confess. She is probably still looking forward to the Queen and Prince Rong to get her out."

Yan Junchu let out a long sigh, leaned on the soft pillow, and pulled Xinyi into his arms, "Yan Qiongsi is still the title of Princess. The Ministry of Justice cannot use torture to get her to confess, so they can only keep wasting time with her. But Prince Yi wants to get rid of the crime, and it is estimated that Yan Qiongsi may have something real in her hand and wants to take action against her."

Su Xinyi was shocked, "Prince Yi can also buy off the people in the Ministry of Justice? This is impossible, right? He has too many hands. At his age, how can he have so many connections for him to use?"

If Prince Yi really has such great power, how could she have never heard much about him until her death in her previous life.

If such a person really has such power, he would not be willing to remain silent, right?

"It's not his connections, it's left by the old Prince Yi." Yan Junchu pinched Xinyi's fingertips.

"The old Prince Yi?" Su Xinyi thought for a moment, "Oh, I understand. I heard that the old Prince Yi was the favorite youngest son of the late emperor, and the late emperor wanted the youngest son to take the position of crown prince."

"Yes." Yan Junchu nodded slightly, "It's a pity that King Lao Yi was too old than his brothers at that time. In addition, the late emperor was old and did not have enough time to support his younger son. Even some courtiers supported it, but you also know that my father Although there was some luck in ascending to the throne, it was indeed very difficult.”

Su Xinyi knew better, "That's why King Lao Yi chose to support his father's ascension to the throne and leave a way for himself to survive. After his father ascended the throne, in order to remove his suspicion, he immediately decided to go south to Suizhou to express his position. However, Isn’t it possible that King Lao Yi didn’t hand over all the connections that the late emperor left to King Lao Yi?”

Yan Junchu smiled, "What you are saying is that now King Yi should be using the connections that the old King Yi wants to leave to his legitimate son, but these connections will be used less often unless King Yi can be reused by his father. Unfortunately, right now It’s impossible.”

Having said this, he looked at Xin Yi, "If the matter in the granary had not been discovered in advance and King Yi had surfaced early, it would be hard to say what would have happened in a few years when King Yi made a comprehensive plan."

Su Xinyi was frightened when he heard this. In his previous life, King Rong had always been against the prince, and King Xiang was adding fuel to the fire behind his back. It was not that King Yi didn't take action, but because he hid it deeply enough, he had always hidden the matter in the granary well, so Only then can you always hide in the dark.

Therefore, it was right that she didn't hear much news about King Yi in the capital, because King Yi didn't want to let himself stand in the sun. It was enough for King Yourong and King Xiang to jump out.

Besides, in his previous life, King Rong was impulsive and King Xiang had no independent opinions. No matter which one of these two ascended to the throne, it would be a good thing for King Yi because they were both easy to control.

In his previous life, every step King Yi took was right, but in this life, due to some mistakes, because of his unintentional push, King Rong found out about the granary earlier, thus disrupting King Yi's plan.

Although King Yi has made up for it as soon as possible, with the prince's keenness, he will definitely investigate if he finds something wrong with King Yi, so things in this life will definitely go differently.

"what's on your mind?"

Su Xinyi suddenly came back to her senses, raised her head to meet the concerned gaze of His Highness, she composed herself, and then said: "I just can't guess what King Yi is going to do. His purpose in planning all the famous things is to look at the throne? But with his status, he has absolutely no destiny for that position.”

Su Xinyi still felt that His Highness should know what she was thinking. Although it might not be very accurate, it would make His Highness more alert to King Yi.

Yan Junchu smiled when he heard this, "We'll find out when we arrest him and question him."

Su Xinyi:......

This answer is also correct.

Yan Junchu looked at Xin Yi, "Is there nothing going on at today's banquet?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "It's nothing big, but I think King Wu's side is not very peaceful. How is Ji Gang's side?"

"His threat to the Zhao family is definitely unsolvable, but he is still hiding the source of the threat to the Zhao family and refuses to fully explain it. However, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely continue to investigate and it will not take too long."

"Master Jiang won't sit idly by and ignore it, right?" Su Xinyi asked.

At first Yan Qiongsi plotted against Jiang Zhongnian, but now Ji Gang and Yan Qiongsi are the same species. Jiang Shangshu will definitely not miss this opportunity.

"Of course, but Jiang Shangshu has a scholarly character and doesn't bother to do some things."

Su Xinyi understood that it would still take time.

"Are you going back to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow?" Yan Junchu looked sideways at Xin Yi, "I'll go back with you."

Su Xinyi did not refuse this time. When she returned to her parents' home after the New Year, it was not like a normal day. She smiled and said: "Okay, you can help me try out the scripture interpretation strategy. I heard from Mu Xing that Lu Minglin's sister Lu Yunhua is chasing after her." Him, ask what’s going on.”

Yan Junchu looked at Xin Yi in surprise, "Mu Xing also reported this kind of thing?"

Su Xinyi looked at Yan Junchu, "It turns out that His Highness has known about it for a long time."

Hearing the profound meaning of Xin Yi's words, Yan Junchu immediately added, "Why are these trivial things worth your trouble? Besides, I know how the historian fell down in the first place. Lu Yunhua didn't talk about chasing after him, even if he chased him to the capital, He didn’t dare to take another look with his eyes.”

Su Xinyi:......

Is this a compliment to her?

Seeing Xin Yi's speechless look, Yan Junchu laughed, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I do know what Mu Xing said, but I don't think Jinglue will do anything wrong. After all, he has reached this stage now. It’s not easy, and a man who has a harmonious relationship with his eldest sister and knows what he wants will firmly abandon anything that can hinder him.”

Su Xinyi believed this and looked at the prince, "I was just joking. Your Highness doesn't need to mention this matter tomorrow, and I won't mention it in front of eldest sister."

Yan Junchu was happy, "I know you are a person who takes good care of your family."

"Does His Highness also have to go to the dinner party?"

"My father will not be attending the dinner."

Su Xinyi understood that if His Majesty did not show up, His Highness would naturally take charge of the overall situation. "Then please take a rest, Your Highness. I will call you when the time comes."

"You stay with me." Yan Junchu knew that Xin Yi would not have an easy day, so he simply asked her to come with him.

"I can't sleep for a while, so I'll stay with you here. I just want to read something."

Yan Junchu didn't say anything this time, and slowly closed his eyes against the soft pillow.

Su Xinyi got up and went to the study to get the map. His Majesty would definitely let them set off again when the trade route opens in the new year. This trip is different from the past. After recuperating, I wonder if there will be any changes in the Tatar side. .

Originally, if there hadn't been this accident with Prince Yi, Su Xinyi was planning to completely open up the trade route this year, dividing the Tatar tribes and preventing them from uniting.

However, because of Prince Yi's rebellion, this matter was delayed. As a result, after such a long period of recuperation, the Tatars might not be willing to settle down next year, but they certainly wouldn't raise troops on a large scale. It would take another year to restore their previous combat power.

In this case, the places in Yulinwei would have to strengthen their vigilance next year, whether it was the storage of troops, the supply of food and grass, or the people at the border, they would have to make preparations in advance.

Moreover, the grain in the granary was emptied, and it would take another half a year for the new grain to be stored in the warehouse, and it would take another half a year, and it would be difficult to transfer grain.

It would be great if we could find the place where Prince Yi hid the grain.

Su Xinyi put away the map, and seeing that it was almost time, she called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and sent someone in to serve and wash.

The Queen allowed her not to go to the dinner at Yuanhui Palace, so she could relax a little.

After getting familiar with the place, Yan Junchu changed into formal clothes, walked over and looked at Xinyi and said, "You don't have to wait for me at night, you should go to bed early."

"I know, your highness should drink less." Su Xinyi reminded him.

Yan Junchu nodded as he walked, and when he reached the door, he stretched out his hand to press Xinyi's shoulder, "Don't go out, it's cold at night."

The winter night came early, and the palace lanterns hanging under the palace eaves reflected Yan Junchu's eyebrows and eyes, which were particularly soft.

Su Xinyi was really not afraid of the cold, but she did not refuse, and smiled, "I will listen to your highness." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to tie the belt of the cloak for your highness, watched him slowly step down the steps, and watched him go away.

Yan Junchu started to go down the steps, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back.

Under the bright lights of the East Palace, Su Xinyi stood straight and stared in his direction, with a relaxed and comfortable smile between her eyebrows, and her eyes were even more shining under the light.

Yan Junchu suddenly wanted to go back, and he did so.

He had never felt that the light of the East Palace would be so warm. He knew that it was because there was someone he liked under the light.

Su Xinyi was hugged tightly by Yan Junchu. Su Xinyi was startled by his sudden action. Then she heard the sound of a palace servant gasping softly, and her face turned red.

Even though she felt that she was quite thick-skinned after her rebirth, she still felt that it was a little thin at this moment.

"Your Highness..." Su Xinyi reminded him, you should pay attention, you are the crown prince.

Yan Junchu whispered softly in Xinyi's ear: "I hug my wife, they are just envious."

Su Xinyi: ...

Perhaps, she is not the one with the thickest skin!
