Once the Crown Prince Joins In

484: Sue Concubine Li

King Wu watched Nanny Luo return to the palace, and then looked back. Ji Yun was still lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was crying or trembling with fear.

This time, King Wu did not show any mercy. He looked at her deeply and turned away.

It turned out that everything was a joke. He thought she liked him to some extent, but the truth was so vulnerable.

"Your Highness..."

King Wu looked at the attendant who had followed him for many years. He raised his head and handed him the letter he had just written. "You go to see the prince in person and hand the letter to His Highness."

"Yes."

"Go." King Wu waved his hand.

For so many years, his mother had suffered so much to raise him and protect him. He could not watch Ji Yun harm his mother, nor could he let the Wu Palace be implicated and let himself fall into the quagmire.

Now that Ji Yun is a heartless person, if the Li family had not instigated her from behind, how could she have thought of these means to harm others.

Yan Heng is the eldest grandson that his father likes the most, and the eldest son of his elder brother. And the Crown Princess has a bad temper. If things really get out of hand, I'm afraid that neither he nor his mother will be able to get away with it.

The only thing he can do now is to choose a position immediately. Since it was the Li family who did it and Concubine Li who did it, then they can only let them settle the matter.

The more King Wu thought about it, the colder he felt in his heart. He didn't know how he had gotten through the past few years. He was standing still for a woman who didn't like him and had someone else in her heart.

It shouldn't be like this.

His mother had always said that he was confused, and he never admitted it, but now he wanted to slap himself in the face. Just because of his indulgence and carelessness, his mother was now in danger.

King Wu stood up suddenly. He wanted to make meritorious deeds while atonement for his crime. He remembered an old story. He didn't know if it was related to what happened today, but what if it was?

The King of Wu led his men out of the palace in a hurry, and soon entered the palace to see Concubine Ruan Ming. The mother and son talked for a long time behind closed doors, and then the King of Wu left the palace again.

On the other side, Su Xinyi also received the news sent by Zhu Chanyi, and she was really breathless.

She said that Ji Yun looked at her with a strange look, and it turned out that the root was here.

It was a pity that even though she was a fairy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take her seriously, not to mention that her appearance was far inferior to his.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi was so angry that she laughed at herself. She was really confused and got angry with Ji Yun over this.

It can be seen that no matter how calm and self-controlled a person is, when he meets someone or something of his own, he will lose some reason.

When the Crown Prince came back, Su Xinyi asked him if he knew about this? She saw that the Crown Prince looked at her with a little discomfort.

The couple looked at each other, and Yan Junchu sighed, "This is such a big pot, it has nothing to do with me, I don't even remember what she looks like."

This is not false, before Ji Yun married the King of Wu, Yan Junchu didn't know this person, after she married the King of Wu, she was his sister-in-law, and he would not worry about her anymore.

This big pot fell on his head, and the prince felt that he was really wronged.

Su Xinyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Of course I know it has nothing to do with Your Highness, but now that the matter has been exposed, the only way now is to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise even if it has nothing to do with Your Highness, this quagmire will be stained with some black mud."

"That's the reason, the King of Wu sent me a letter, you can take a look first." Yan Junchu took out the letter and handed it over.

Su Xinyi took it and opened it. After a closer look, she was very surprised. "If the suspicion of the King of Wu is true, this will really make things worse. Your Highness, was there really another reason for the death of the second prince?"

"I was still young at that time, and I don't know many things very well. But since the King of Wu said so, he must have got some news from Concubine Ruan Ming." Yan Junchu said.

He is the crown prince. He has never cared about or asked about the affairs of his father's harem. One is to avoid suspicion, and the other is to avoid danger.

When his second brother died, he vaguely heard some news, but with the Queen and Concubine Li around, the news was quickly suppressed. At that time, he had no time to take care of him, so naturally he couldn't take care of others.

Su Xinyi felt that what the prince said made sense, so he said: "Then should I report this matter to my father first?"

After all, it involves smallpox. If he waits until the matter is investigated before reporting, Su Xinyi is worried that His Majesty will get angry and hurt himself.

Yan Junchu was obviously thinking about this, looking at Xinyi and said, "Let me think about it, after all, it involves the Li family."

Su Xinyi understood the prince's concerns. His Majesty had spared the Li family several times before. If he let the Li family escape again this time, it would be really frustrating.

"It's the first time, but not the third time. Father is doing this for the sake of Li Taishi's face. But it can't be like this every time. Besides, smallpox is a serious matter. If we find out the truth and then tell your father, he will be furious and hurt himself. It would be us who are unfilial." Su Xinyi was very worried about the emperor's health. Compared with that, the emperor's safety was naturally more important.

As for Li Taishi, to put it bluntly, he won't live long. At this juncture, His Majesty is naturally more important.

Yan Junchu patted Xinyi's hand, "I know, don't worry."

Su Xinyi leaned against His Highness and said slowly, "This matter is very serious, involving the private affairs of the harem. You are the crown prince of a country, so it is not easy for you to intervene directly. I think I should mention it to the Queen."

It is natural for the Queen to come forward.

Yan Junchu knew that Xinyi had thought about him carefully. "I thought so too, but the Queen and Concubine Li have a deep grudge. This is a great opportunity. You should also be careful that the Queen takes too big a step."

"I understand what your Highness means. I will make it clear to the Queen."

"Then let's do this for now. The King of Wu has already checked the evidence from the Li family. Wait until the certification evidence is complete before you take action."

"Okay, in this case, Yuzhao Palace should be more careful and not let the news leak out."

The two discussed how to handle the matter properly. In fact, if they were not worried about the health of the emperor, they would not have to be so cautious. They would just wait until the evidence was complete and arrest the person directly.

The couple did not sleep well that night. In the morning, they sent the prince to court and said goodbye at the gate of the palace. Yan Junchu squeezed Xinyi's hand and strode away.

Su Xinyi had a simple breakfast, and then asked someone to pass the message to Yuanhui Palace. Soon the Queen let her go.

When they arrived at Yuanhui Palace, the Queen said to her, "I wanted to ask someone to invite you here today, but you came here first. What a coincidence."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "It shows that my mother and I are in tune with each other."

The Queen was amused and asked Xinyi to sit down. She only left Zhao Ma to serve her and sent the other palace people out. She looked at her and said softly, "You know everything, right?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "I know a little, so I want to ask my mother for advice on how to deal with this matter now."

The Queen glanced at Xinyi, "Don't you have any ideas?"

Su Xinyi also laughed, "If this were left outside, I would be alone. I know how to deal with it, but here I will naturally listen to my mother. "

The queen was happy to hear this, and said to Xinyi: "I know that this matter has wronged the prince and you."

Su Xinyi hurriedly said: "What kind of grievance is this? Your Highness and I know nothing. It's all Ji Yun's own fantasy. It's just that King Wu is more pitiful."

"Ruan Mingfei came to me and cried last night. She looked very pitiful."

Su Xinyi heard this and thought that Ruan Mingfei was smart and knew to strike first. But it's good this way. They are the victims. They showed weakness to the queen first, and then things will go smoothly.

As long as the queen is willing to protect a little, this disaster can be halfway through.

"Mrs. Mingfei has indeed suffered this unprovoked disaster." Su Xinyi said softly.

"There are many pitiful and wronged people in this world. The reason why King Wu encountered such a disaster was that he had feelings for Ji Yun. You see, it was Concubine Xian who arranged King Jing's marriage for him. The couple now live in harmony and have children." The queen was also upset when she talked about this matter. Concubine Ruan Ming was not as good as Concubine Qi in this respect.

Su Xinyi couldn't say anything about this matter, and immediately said: "You will know the pain after falling down once. In the future, the marriage of King Wu may have to be checked by your mother."

The queen smiled but didn't respond to this. Su Xinyi knew that the queen was also angry with Concubine Ruan Ming. Ji Yun's marriage did cause a lot of trouble.

The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Chan Yi has explained everything clearly, and Ruan Mingfei also came to cry. What are your plans for the Li family?"

Su Xinyi thought about it seriously, looked at the queen and said carefully, "Mother, it's not that your daughter-in-law wants to stand by and watch, but this matter also involves Fang Jieyu and the second prince who died young. I am a junior, so it's not easy for me to make suggestions. I will listen to you, mother, and do whatever you tell me to do. But if this incident is really related to Concubine Li, mother, you have to be careful."

The queen naturally knew how to deal with it, but she was worried that her ideas were different from those of the East Palace, so she called Xinyi over to ask. It sounded like Xinyi meant that Concubine Li should not be allowed to break free again. If there was no conflict with her, it would be easy to deal with.

"We have already checked. If we want to make it clear, we must at least have physical evidence. Ji Yun is under surveillance. You don't need to worry about other things. There is only one thing. You should go and see Yan Fen when he broke his head that day. If His Majesty smells it, just tell the truth."

Su Xinyi nodded, "What the queen mother said is right."

This truth is that she found something strange about the child. In this way, this line started from her, which is indeed a matter of great importance.

"Think about it yourself."

Su Xinyi nodded in agreement.

The queen looked at Xinyi's solemn expression and smiled softly, "Now we have the right time, place and people, so there is no need to worry."

"With you here, your daughter-in-law will naturally rest assured."

The queen laughed and looked at Xinyi and added, "Don't involve the prince from beginning to end. I will let Prince Rong handle other things. As for whether Prince Wu can pass this time, it depends on Your Majesty."

The queen will not add insult to injury, but she will not deliberately reach out to help Concubine Ruan Ming and her son.

Su Xinyi didn't think the queen was cold-blooded, but she thought she was clear-headed. If the queen and Ruan Mingfei and her son joined forces, His Majesty would feel sorry for Concubine Li again. It was obvious that the queen knew His Majesty's thoughts.

Coming out of Yuanhui Palace, Su Xinyi looked up at the sky. This time, the Li family couldn't escape.

It was not easy to investigate the affair between Fang Jieyu and the second prince. Yan Junchu naturally didn't intervene. Ruan Mingfei and the queen were investigating the matter in the palace, and Prince Rong and Prince Wu were running errands outside the palace. In addition, the Li family had a smallpox this time, so there was always a trace to follow.

Although things were progressing a little slowly, Su Xinyi was not in a hurry.

Turning to July, the weather was stuffy and hot, making people a little breathless.

Su Xinyi was playing with her son in the small garden. Since the little guy could run fast, he refused to stay in the house and spent most of the day playing outside.

Su Xinyi didn't want her son to have a body that would pant after walking a few steps. The mother and daughter were having a lot of fun. If the prince came back early one day, he would have to look for someone outside, and the mother and daughter would not be seen in the house.

"Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi had just taken her son down from the plum blossom pile. Since the little guy discovered this fun place that day, he wanted to come here every day. Now Zhan Qiao and a few eunuchs were watching him all day, fearing that Yan Heng would climb up by himself if they missed him. This plum blossom pile was originally used for Jie Kun, and even so, it was a bit too high for Yan Heng.

Zhan Qiao came over immediately and took the young master to play in another place. Su Xinyi took a breath and looked at Cui Que, "What happened?"

"Ruan Mingfei sued Concubine Li."

"What?"

Su Xinyi was shocked

Cui Que nodded hurriedly, "It's true. This morning, when the ladies went to pay their respects to the Queen, Ruan Mingfei accused Concubine Li of instigating Concubine Wu to use the concubine Yan Fen to murder the emperor's eldest grandson."

Su Xinyi:...

Good fellow, Ruan Mingfei is not making a sound, but making a big splash, poking a hole in the sky.

"Want me to go to Yuanhui Palace?" Su Xinyi asked immediately.

"Yes, Madam Zhao came in person and asked me to tell you not to panic, just say what you should say." Cui Que said softly.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Let's go."

She asked Zhan Qiao to look after Yan Heng, and asked someone to pass a message to His Highness. She returned to the main hall, changed her clothes, and then went to Yuanhui Palace in a sedan chair.

Yuanhui Palace was bustling. Concubine Li's voice could be heard through the door of the palace. In the interval, Concubine Ruan Ming could be heard sobbing. She stamped her feet, sorted out her expression, and then stepped onto the steps and entered the main hall.

As soon as Su Xinyi entered, the palace was quiet, and everyone's eyes immediately looked over.

Su Xinyi saw that the people present were quite complete, and Concubine Zhao and Concubine Chu did not retreat. It seemed that the queen really intended to make a big deal.

Concubine Qi was still in a daze, and her face was dazed. She probably had not yet woken up from the storm of Concubine Ruan Ming suing Concubine Li.

Yes, Concubine Ruan Ming was the most cautious person in the palace. She never dared to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, she did something big this time.
