453: The Prince's Stratagem

Chapter 452 Chapter 453: The prince’s plan

Su Xinyi couldn't stop laughing, looked at Zhu Chanyi and said: "You are right, if the sky falls, there will be tall people who can hold it up."

Zhu Chanyi also laughed, but she knew that neither she nor Xin Yi actually wanted to have another woman, but there was really no good way.

She felt that Xin Yi was unhappy because she took the initiative to bring it up, so she told her a joke about many people in the capital during the Chinese New Year, making them laugh, and then she felt relieved and stood up to leave.

Su Xinyi felt even more happy when she thought about sending Zhu Chanyi away. Tsk, who said that the girl from the military general's family was careless.

When she came back, she saw that Forsythia didn't look right, so she looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Forsythia lowered her voice and said, "Princess, Your Highness has been back before."

Su Xinyi was a little surprised, "When?"

"Just...just when Princess Rong says it's time to eat and drink."

Su Xinyi:......

Okay, I know how to pick my timing.

"Did your Highness leave a message before he left?" Su Xinyi asked.

Forsythia shook her head.

Su Xinyi nodded and entered the palace. Is His Highness angry?

It shouldn't be.

That was because Zhu Chanyi was here and he might be embarrassed to come in. After all, the topic they were talking about at that time was really not convenient for him to come in.

When Su Xinyi thought about it, she felt that it was right, so she stopped worrying. She was right. Could she stop this kind of thing casually?

cannot.

If she married an ordinary person, she could still stop her from an ordinary noble family, but that was His Highness the Crown Prince. In this position, they couldn't do some things as they wanted.

Although Su Xinyi told herself this, he was still a little restless and impatient, so he simply took a book and read it carefully.

She lived too seriously in her last life, so she suffered as well as her aunt. She didn't want to live so tiredly in this life.

Besides, His Highness is kind to her, how could she let His Highness be accused by the courtiers and be taken advantage of by those who are interested because of her selfish desires?

Those people like Taishi Li are not easy to get along with.

Especially this time regarding Li Ji, they had completely become enemies, so naturally they had to be even more careful.

Su Xinyi thought of this and stretched out her hand to touch her belly gently. Who doesn't like to live together forever?

She likes it too.

It's just that this love is too heavy. She can afford it, but His Highness cannot.

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Su Xinyi suddenly heard Yan Junchu's voice. She was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and turned to look at him, "Your Highness."

"Your face doesn't look good." Yan Junchu frowned and looked at Xin Yi. She and Zhu Chanyi were chatting and laughing in the afternoon, so she might not really care.

"Maybe he is thinking about something." Su Xinyi said immediately, "How is the matter handled by His Highness?"

Listening to Xin Yi's questions, he sat down next to her and then said, "The evidence brought back by Shang Junyan is very important. There are some account books and confessions from when King Lao Yi was still alive."

"King Lao Yi is still alive?" Su Xinyi was surprised. "Your Highness, you mean that King Lao Yi had this kind of thoughts when he was still alive?"

"I'm afraid that's how it should be."

"Then he still supported his father's ascension to the throne?"

"People's thoughts will always change. Maybe after arriving in Suizhou, the more I think about it, the less willing I am."

After hearing Yan Junchu's words, Su Xinyi looked a little sad, "If King Lao Yi is involved, then this matter will be much more complicated."

"I have already submitted the evidence in Shang Junyan's hands to my father. Mu Xing's flying pigeon sent a message back. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back until after the Lantern Festival."

Su Xinyi counted the time and said, "That means we have to travel day and night, as long as we can make it in time. I heard from Princess Rong that there is progress on Master Minghui's side, is it true?"

"That's right. Master Minghui had a handkerchief with King Rong's biological mother. Later, she suffered a betrayal in marriage and became a nun. At that time, it was King Rong's biological mother who helped her, so she has always been grateful to her. Heart."

"No wonder, Master Minghui sincerely wants to repay such kindness, but unfortunately she went the wrong way. So, why is she willing to testify now?"

"In the final analysis, people are still selfish. Master Minghui is an ordinary person after all. Even if she becomes a monk, she has not learned to put life and death aside."

Su Xinyi wanted to laugh when he heard this, and said: "That's human nature, who wants to die if he can live. In this way, an opening will be opened for King Yi. Master Minghui should know a lot of things, Your Highness Have you asked?"

Yan Junchu raised his eyes to look at Xin Yi, grabbed her hand and held it tightly, saying, "She only told one thing right now, where do you think the granary of Prince Yi's Mansion is?"

Su Xinyi thought about it seriously, and suddenly the things that King Yi had done against the Su family flashed through his mind. Many things were definitely not aimless. King Yi wanted to get rid of the Su family quickly. It must be the Su family that was in his way. Son.

She had always thought that the Su family was in Huaining, blocking King Yi's road to Duogan. After all, King Yi secretly sold grain to Duogan, and presumably made a lot of profits.

The Su family was blocking the way, so it was a matter of course for King Yi to get rid of them.

But now His Highness suddenly mentioned King Yi's granary, and a flash occurred in her mind. It seemed a bit fussy for King Yi to kill the Su family just because it blocked the road. King Yi could also take a detour, such as from Fengpingwei. Walk.

But what if Prince Yi's Mansion places the granary not far from Huaining? What if this place has something to do with the Su family? As soon as this idea came up, Su Xinyi couldn't hold it back.

She looked at His Highness, "Isn't it placed in Huaining?"

Yan Junchu was stunned for a moment, but then he became happy, "King Yi is not that bold, so of course he is not."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, that's good. If it's not in Huaining, then where is it?

It is difficult to find a place that is within easy reach of the Su family and makes King Yi jealous, and allows King Yi to hide food easily without being discovered, and also allows him to transport food out at any time.

Su Xinyi could only shake his head, "Then I can't guess, Your Highness, where is it?"

Yan Junchu pinched Xin Yi's fingertips and then said: "A place you can't think of, Quchuan County."

"Quchuan?" Su Xinyi frowned, what is the relationship between Quchuan County and the Su family?

Perhaps sensing Xin Yi's doubts, Yan Jun nodded on the table and said, "Sacrifice to the fields."

Su Xinyi was startled. She didn't know that the Su family's sacrificial field was in Quchuan County.

"You have only known each other for a few years, so some things at home are unclear. The Su family's sacrificial field was not originally in Quchuan, but was moved there later. King Lao Yi once had a very loyal old slave, who later brought King Yi to The reward and honor of returning to your hometown for retirement is Quchuan.”

"So it was an illusion that the old slave returned home in fine clothes, and the truth was that he was building a granary for King Yi?" Su Xinyi asked.

Yan Junchu nodded, "King Yi bought a slightly remote piece of wasteland for the old slave, and he built a granary there. It was a coincidence that within a few years, the Su family moved the sacrificial field there, but The Su family bought fertile land, but it’s not too far apart.”

"How did the current King Yi know about the things that King Yi did when he was still alive? And if he could successfully take over these things, it must not have been done overnight." The more Su Xinyi thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

"Yes, this matter is indeed very suspicious." Yan Junchu said.

Su Xinyi raised his eyes and looked at His Highness, and asked: "Your Highness, you must know, why? Is it true that Prince Yi's title seizure is all fake? But if this is the case, the old King Yi's love for his legitimate son is also fake?"

This is a bit hard to accept.

If it is true, then King Lao Yi really likes his concubine rather than his legitimate son, and his legitimate son has always been a cover for him?

"You can't be so arbitrary." Yan Junchu lowered his head and looked at Xin Yi. He knew that Xin Yi grew up in the countryside and didn't have so many scheming and cunning tricks, and the same was true in doing things. She was straightforward and straightforward, so how could he understand the old King Yi? thoughts.

"Why is that?" Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out. Although there is a difference between concubine and concubine, some families don't value it very much, especially families with military generals, because once there is a war, the men in the family will be in danger once they go to the battlefield. Basically, Children who go to a military commander's home are equally well-educated, regardless of whether they are direct children or concubines.

Because when you go to the battlefield, you get your military exploits based on your own abilities, so things are generally balanced in many cases.

But why did King Laoyi do this?

It is well known that he loves his legitimate son, is this also a lie?

Then he is too good at pretending.

"The human heart is inherently complicated, Ah Yuan."

Su Xinyi couldn't help but freeze when she saw His Highness's serious expression. Just when she was about to say something, she watched His Highness look away and looked into the distance, and listened to his very calm words, "There is nothing or anyone in this world that will not happen. Changes, you have to know that people have feelings. Once you have been with someone for a long time, it is difficult to control the changes in feelings. "

When Su Xinyi heard this, she suddenly remembered what Forsythia said that His Highness heard her talking to Zhu Chanyi outside. There was something in these words. What did His Highness want to tell her?

Su Xinyi's body tensed slightly, and the smile on her face faded unconsciously. She stared at Yan Junchu with a pair of dark eyes.

Yan Junchu did not look back at Su Xinyi. He continued: "King Lao Yi really liked Yan Ling at first, the eldest son and the legitimate heir. If Yan Ling grows up to be smart and capable, he will be perfect. But this There are so many pleasant things in the world. Yan Ling grew up slowly, and King Yi Yan Bo also grew up. The two brothers were almost the same age at first, but as they grew up, the gap in academics and strategy naturally became apparent. …”

Su Xinyi's heart sank when he heard this. Although Yan Ling was the eldest son, his thoughts were not on these things. On the contrary, Yan Bo was getting better and better. Since King Lao Yi was a person who built granaries in advance, he naturally had other small thoughts. , Yan Ling naturally cannot achieve his thoughts.

What King Laoyi needs is a son who will inherit his legacy, not a son who is incompetent.

"...So, Your Highness, it was King Lao Yi who acquiesced to Yan Bo's attack on Yan Ling? That's why King Lao Yi took the initiative to write a letter asking Yan Bo to be granted the title of King Yi. This makes sense. Why would Yan Bo stay? Yan Ling is no longer a threat, and it is a good thing for King Yi that he is alive and well. "

"That should be the case. Although Yan Bo has not confessed yet, from what Master Minghui and Xu Yurong told us, we can slowly piece together the truth." After Yan Junchu finished speaking, he looked at Xin Yi, "Yan Bo's biological mother Mrs. Fu is a very smart woman. She has been living in seclusion during the years when Princess Lao Yi and King Lao Yi had a strong relationship. According to Master Minghui, the rumors spread outside that King Lao Yi was mean to Queen Yi's mother and son are also true. Fake."

"Why did she spread such rumors? What's in it for her?" Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out. If Fu was trying to win favor, she should say that the old Yi Wangfei was mean to them.

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone."

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Su Xinyi repeated in a low voice. Whose knife should be borrowed to kill whom?

Su Xinyi's mind was spinning fast. Suddenly, her eyes condensed and she looked up at His Highness, "Your Highness, Fu wants the old Yi Wang to suspect the old Yi Wangfei's actions and wants to alienate the relationship between them?"

Yan Junchu nodded slightly, "When the old Yi Wangfei married the old Yi Wang, it was the most difficult time for the old Yi Wang, so he had different feelings for his wife. It's not easy to alienate a couple who have been through hardships together. Fu waited until her son showed his talent for studying and noticed the old Yi Wang's disappointment in Yan Ling, the legitimate son, and then she took the opportunity to strike."

Su Xinyi's heart stagnated for a moment, and her mind was like a mess of twine.

She knew that His Highness was not simply telling her about the family affairs of Prince Yi's Mansion when he was talking about these things in such detail. He was reminding herself implicitly.

If she really did what she wanted with the selection, His Highness...

Su Xinyi was now in a difficult situation. People said that men liked wives who were generous and magnanimous the most. Why was it so difficult for her?

Of course, she didn't like magnanimity, but His Highness treated her differently. He was both her husband and her benefactor. If he was just her husband, she would naturally be willing to be a jealous woman and grow old with him.

But he was still her benefactor. Of course, she couldn't watch her benefactor fall into a vortex because of her. Since the beginning of this dynasty, she had never seen a crown prince with only one woman, the Crown Princess.

Su Xinyi immediately felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if her butt was sitting on a flame, which made her very tormented.

Reason and emotion swung back and forth, but at this time, His Highness refused to speak again, forcing her to express her position.

Su Xinyi felt her heart beating hard. How could she be cornered by His Highness without realizing it? She had never felt so sad even when she tried to commit suicide in her previous life.

Why did something seem wrong? Were their positions reversed? Shouldn't the wife demand the husband?

Su Xinyi's eyes gradually became weird. She looked up at His Highness and saw him sitting there calmly, but his five fingers were slightly curled up. If you look closely, his body seemed a little stiff.

So, how should she answer?

Today's update is complete. The unblocking is nowhere in sight. In silence, the children didn't go to school for a few days in the second half of the year. Every day, I have to wait until the second child goes to bed at night to write. When the eldest child is doing homework, he stays up late and his eyes are as good as the national treasure. It's not long before the winter vacation. This year is about to pass. Dark circles are my biggest achievement this year! Thank you for your support, little cuties, come on!
