486: His Majesty Fainted
Su Xinyi took refuge in the East Palace. The queen made sense. If the East Palace could not interfere, then of course she should not interfere. If she was needed to testify, she would just go out.
Moreover, according to the Queen's wishes, this incident should also weaken her influence in it. This kind of thing is like a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages, but for Su Xinyi, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The Duke of Qi sent a letter, written by Su Yi. Su Xinyi was thoughtful after reading it.
She could predict that this incident involving the Li family would cause an uproar, but she did not expect that the matter would progress so quickly, and the Li family would have more enemies than she expected. Yan Fen suffered from smallpox and murdered the royal heirs, so it would definitely be a big blow. After that, the Li family, even with Taishi Li, a veteran of three dynasties, could not resist the censor's impeachment.
Su Yi said in the letter that the second master Li was also affected, and everything the Li family had done was uncovered, especially Li Ji who bore the brunt, and then the last time when Taishi Li colluded with King Yi, and even even further Things like the Li family's embezzlement of people's property were brought out one after another. Su Xinyi didn't expect that there would be so many hands behind Li Ji's money-making in the salt administration. Blended.
At the time of the Yanyin case, neither the Crown Prince nor His Majesty wanted to cause too much trouble, lest it cause too much suspicion and turmoil. Therefore, as long as officials who were not deeply involved and had a good attitude of pleading guilty were actually dismissed.
But this time the turmoil brought by the Li family was too great. The plot to kill the emperor's heir was especially targeted at the emperor's eldest grandson, and the borrowed knife was Yan Fen, the second grandson. It was also said to be a tragedy.
Even King Jing was implicated, because something happened to the emperor's eldest grandson and second grandson. After the entire army was wiped out, the third emperor's grandson, Xing San, was the one who benefited.
King Jing was so frightened that he asked the court to plead guilty and asked His Majesty to investigate thoroughly. This was a murderous pot sent from heaven. He had done nothing, so how could he be charged with such a crime?
It's simply unreasonable.
Su Xinyi saw things rushing in a direction beyond her control, and she felt a little scared for a moment.
Waiting for His Highness to come back at night, I asked him about it.
Yan Junchu has been really busy recently and has not been to Xinyi for more than ten days. Hearing her worries and the fear on her face, he hurriedly held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, everything is under control. "
Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing His Highness's gentle words and his confident words, "This is really scary. These courtiers are so capable of pulling things together. How come they can pull all kinds of mess together?"
"That's how it is in the court, either you die or I live." Yan Junchu didn't take it seriously. Looking at Xin Yi's worried look, he gently pulled him into his arms, "I thought you wouldn't be afraid."
If he knew that she was so worried, he should have come back to take a look in the next few days. It would not be good to discuss matters with the staff and ministers until late at night.
"I wasn't afraid in the first place." Su Xinyi has always been very courageous. This time, he was not afraid at first, but he couldn't stand these courtiers. Now he was about to rush to eradicate the Li family and avoid getting involved with the Li family. She rushed forward with a swoop and refused to give up, killing all the courtiers. Could she not be afraid? "I'm just worried that the involvement will be too wide. When times change, everyone will be angry with you, the crown prince, for being too harsh."
This kind of thing is not uncommon. It is not only those in high positions who cross rivers and demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys.
Yan Junchu knew that Xin Yi had always been smart, but he didn't expect that this incident would make her think so much, let alone that she could think so thoughtfully.
"There are so many ministers and staff in the East Palace who are not free earners. They will naturally discuss these matters. Besides, Taishi Li really cannot let him escape this time, otherwise he will have no chance."
Su Xinyi heard what Yan Junchu meant. Taishi Li's body was already at the end of his strength. As long as he was completely convicted, Concubine Li and Prince Xiang would not be able to use this veteran of three dynasties as their backer in the future.
If Taishi Li escapes again this time, and if Taishi Li really dies of illness, Your Majesty, for the sake of death, if Concubine Li makes a gesture of admitting her guilt and showing weakness, she will most likely survive this disaster again.
Even if the prince wanted to raise his hand, the ministers who supported the prince would not agree.
To this day, Yan Junchu cannot retreat or retreat.
Besides, the Li family's sword pointed at Yan Heng, which also offended Yan Junchu's bottom line. If he didn't kill the chicken to scare the monkey this time, would anyone dare to attack Yan Heng in the future?
Su Xinyi didn't sleep well that night, and she could feel that the prince beside her didn't sleep well either, but she didn't dare to move, for fear that His Highness would not be able to rest well because of her.
Before dawn, there were people walking gently outside. Zhang Jian and his people were waiting to serve His Highness before the court.
Su Xinyi also stood up. Yan Junchu looked at her and said, "It's still early, so don't get up."
"I can't sleep anymore, so I'd better get up." Su Xinyi didn't feel sleepy, and her heart was agitated.
"Don't worry, the dust will settle in a few days." Yan Junchu saw that Xin Yi's eyes were turning blue, stretched out his hand to caress her face, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will protect my son and you, never again. Nothing like this will happen."
Su Xinyi was stunned, and was about to say something when Zhang Jian was already urging him outside. Su Xinyi hurriedly tied the belt for His Highness, without even thinking about what to say, she watched His Highness strode away with Zhang Jian.
Su Xinyi had a simple breakfast and went to see her son.
Yan Heng was very happy to see his mother and ran over with his broken legs. Su Xinyi hurriedly knelt down and picked her up, and the mother and son laughed together.
"Let's go, let's go..." Yan Heng was a person who couldn't stay still. When he got into his mother's arms, he pointed to go outside.
Su Xinyi was also bored in the house, so the mother and daughter went to the martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena was large and spacious, and Yan Heng could play however he wanted, so he would come here to have fun when he had nothing to do during the day.
Su Xinyi asked someone to plant a row of smaller plum blossom piles for him. They were not really plum blossom piles, but wooden blocks buried in the soil with slightly different heights for the child to crawl on and play.
Now that he has just learned to walk, it is not easy to get on and off the wooden blocks. If he is not careful, he will fall on his buttocks.
Yan Heng cried when he fell at first, but Su Xinyi did not let anyone comfort him. He got up by himself when he fell. If he cried now, wouldn't he become Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall if he practiced martial arts in the future? This is unacceptable.
Yan Heng was also smart. He wasted his voice and no one cared about him. He knew that crying was useless. From then on, he didn't cry when he fell.
Now, he can climb on the wooden block skillfully, but it is a waste of clothes.
The wet nurse and others dared not leave the ground and followed. Su Xinyi followed her son's crawling route slowly behind, but she was thinking about when the matter of Li Taishi would end.
Su Xinyi did not wait until the case of Li Taishi was settled. She first waited for the news that His Majesty fainted in the court after being quarreled by important officials. Her face turned pale immediately.
She knew that His Majesty was not very well at this time in his previous life. She had been taking good care of him in this life, and thought he could hold on for a few more years, but he suddenly fell down now.
Su Xinyi asked Madam She to take care of Yan Heng, and she went to Yuanhui Palace immediately.
In Yuanhui Palace, she did not see the Queen Mother, and Madam Zhao was not there either. Peiyu said that the Queen Mother took Madam Zhao to the Purple Palace.
Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. It was normal for the Queen Mother to go there when His Majesty fainted. With the Queen Mother there, the Purple Palace should be stable.
Su Xinyi did not leave, but waited for news in Yuanhui Palace. Soon, Zhu Chanyi came.
When Zhu Chanyi saw Su Xinyi's face was as white as paper, she grabbed her hand and said, "Our prince rushed into Zichen Palace like crazy after hearing the news. I couldn't stop him, but I was afraid of causing trouble, so I hurried to Yuanhui Palace."
"Don't worry, mother is in Zichen Palace."
Zhu Chanyi was relieved, and then she felt her feet a little weak. She breathed a sigh of relief and fell into the chair.
Su Xinyi hurriedly asked someone to bring tea, looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "Have a sip of tea to calm down."
Zhu Chanyi thanked her and then picked up the teacup. Her hands were still shaking, and she couldn't even hold the teacup.
Su Xinyi saw her like this for the first time, so she slowed down her voice and said, "With the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital here, father will be safe."
"Yes, he will be." Zhu Chanyi hurriedly repeated. She didn't want His Majesty to be in trouble. The Li family's affairs had not been finalized. If His Majesty got into trouble at this time...
Zhu Chanyi was very upset. Seeing that Su Xinyi was still able to keep calm, she sighed in her heart. She always thought she was a powerful person, but now it really came to a critical moment, she was still not as prudent as Xinyi.
Zhu Chanyi didn't know that Xinyi was also uneasy at this moment, but seeing Zhu Chanyi like this, she naturally couldn't show any inappropriateness, lest Zhu Chanyi get more flustered.
The news spread quickly, and soon, Tu Jingjia also entered the palace. Ji Yun, who was imprisoned, did not show up, and You Xiangru, who was at the center of the storm, did not show up either.
Tu Jingjia was relieved when she saw Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi. After sitting down, she didn't know what to say. She held the handkerchief tightly, and even her breathing felt a little heavy.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xinyi suddenly heard Tu Jingjia say, "I passed by the Prince of Xiang's mansion before I came here, and I saw that the gate of the mansion was closed, so I didn't go to disturb them."
It was not surprising that the gate of the Prince of Xiang's mansion was closed at this time. After all, the court officials impeached Li Taishi and Li Guifei, and even the Prince of Xiang was dragged into the water.
Zhu Chanyi said, "You are right not to go. No one knows what is going on in the Prince of Xiang's mansion now. The Princess of Xiang is a person with her own ideas. She hasn't come yet. I guess she is either tripped up by something in the mansion or she doesn't plan to show up."
Su Xinyi felt that what Zhu Chanyi said made sense. You Xiangru was not a weak person. At this time, she would go to the palace to show her filial piety for herself.
But You Xiangru has not shown up yet, and it is estimated that something may have really happened in the mansion.
The three looked at each other and didn't mention this matter again. No matter what You Xiangru was like, the safety of His Majesty was the most important thing at the moment.
It was not until the sun was high that Nanny Zhao hurried back and greeted several people.
"Nanny, no need to be polite, get up and talk." Su Xinyi said.
Nanny Zhao stood up and said respectfully: "The Queen guessed that the Crown Princess and several princesses would come, so she asked me to come back and send a message when she had time. His Majesty has woken up."
Su Xinyi was overjoyed, and Zhu Chanyi and Tu Jingjia were also relieved. It was really great.
Nanny Zhao lowered her voice and said: "Although His Majesty has woken up, the current situation is not good. The imperial physician said that His Majesty should not be angry again."
Su Xinyi's heart sank, and he could not be angry anymore. This time he was really angry.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been ordered to supervise the country. The affairs of the Li family are being watched by countless people inside and outside. The Queen asked me to tell the Crown Princess to return to the East Palace to take charge of the situation." Nanny Zhao said hurriedly.
Su Xinyi was stunned at first, then she understood and immediately stood up and said, "Madam, please greet my mother for me. I will go back to the East Palace now."
Madam Zhao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely pass on the message." Then she looked at Princess Rong and Princess Jing, "The Queen also said that the two princesses should also leave the palace. Don't come back for no reason. If there is anything, the Queen will summon them."
Zhu Chanyi and Tu Jingjia immediately agreed after getting the promise. Seeing that Madam Zhao left in a hurry, the three of them looked at each other, and Su Xinyi said to them, "Go back first."
Su Xinyi went back to the East Palace first. Tu Jingjia and Zhu Chanyi left the palace together. Halfway through, Tu Jingjia whispered, "Nothing will happen, right?"
Zhu Chanyi shook her head gently, "Who dares to say that, but with the Queen and the Crown Princess here, we will just listen."
Tu Jingjia nodded gently, "These days are really scary. Our prince is really sitting and standing Uneasy, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took care of the prince, so it was okay. "
Zhu Chanyi knew that Tu Jingjia was talking about the innocent implicated King Jing. She looked around and then said in a low voice: "This kind of thing is innocent. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows it in his heart, and naturally cannot watch King Jing being framed. In my opinion, this is the desperate Li Taishi family, thinking of dragging people into the water to fish in troubled waters. "
Tu Jingjia thought that what her mother's family said to her was also the same, so she whispered to Zhu Chanyi: "What you said makes sense, but even so, I am still afraid. Now that such a thing has happened again, no one dares to say what will happen next. I really can't let go of this heart. Your Majesty is not in good health, but I don't know when the Li family's affairs will be settled. "
It's even more frightening to keep it hanging like this, especially for King Jing who is innocently implicated, and I wish there would be a decision immediately.
"Now we can only wait." What can Zhu Chanyi do about this kind of thing, even her grandfather can't do it.
"Yes, we can only wait." Tu Jingjia sighed softly, hoping that His Majesty would recover soon, otherwise the day would be dark.
At this time, Prince Rong in the Purple Palace had a dark face and a slap mark on his face, which was caused by the Queen.
Yan Junchu was not here, but was discussing matters with the court officials in the side hall. Prince Jing was like a quail, wishing he could learn the earth escape technique and run away immediately.
