After the prince enters the play

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: The Queen's Reward
Su Xinyi took Zhanqiao and Cao Qing back to the mansion, and went directly to the backyard to change and wash. His clothes were all soaked through. Although it was early summer, it was still a bit cold.

Zhanqiao and Cao Qing lived in the inverted room in the front yard, which was specially prepared by the old man for them to go out with Miss Six.

Just after washing up, the two of them were about to go to bed when they were invited by the young man next to the old man.

The two entered the Songhe Hall and saw the old man sitting on the top chair, so they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have seen the old man."

The old man opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, "Going home so soon? Didn't you tell the six girls to follow the salt merchant's private treasury?"

Cao Qing and Zhan Qiao looked at each other, and he immediately said: "If you go back to the old man, I caught a group of people who were going to deliver the goods tonight."

The old man's eyes suddenly flashed a sharp light, "Caught it?"

"Yes." Cao Qing didn't dare to hide anything, so he recounted what happened tonight carefully.

The old man's expression became serious when he heard this. He knew how to look at the sky and knew how to use the terrain. Hearing what Cao Qing said, when Xin Yi made a move, the moves that touched the vitals of people were all killer moves.

Now the old man is suspicious of Xin Yi's biological mother. This is not a child raised by an ordinary rural peasant woman. Someone is teaching this child with heart.

The old man knew that Xin Yi knew some kung fu, and also knew that she was a bit fierce, but outsiders watched the fun and only knew that Xin Yi beat people badly, but those who came out of the Su family army could see how important these kung fu were.

"My subordinates have checked carefully. Miss Six's wounds are all at the vital point, which can make the enemy lose their fighting power without losing their lives. Only veterans can do this kind of skill." Cao Qing said in a deep voice, "And The subordinates don't seem to know how powerful they are when they observe Miss Six, old man, the subordinates feel that they should send someone to find out who taught Miss Six kung fu back then."

Although Zhanqiao was taciturn, he also said at this time, "My subordinates also think that Miss Liu's way is a bit like our Su's army's way, but it's not all the way, so it's very strange."

The old man nodded slightly, "Go down and rest, you have worked hard tonight."

The two of them hurriedly said that they didn't dare, so they bowed and retreated.

The old man didn't move, he was still sitting on the top chair, looking down in thought.

Chen Hai walked in lightly, looked at the old man and said, "You should rest, staying up late in the middle of the night hurts your health, it's never too late to think about anything tomorrow."

Chen Hai has been with the old man all his life, and he is most loyal.

The old man looked at Chen Hai, "How can there be so many coincidences in this world? Who do you think is Xin Yi's biological mother? When the fourth child came back, do you remember that he mentioned her?"

Chen Hai thought about it seriously, and then he looked at the old man and said: "The fourth master was rescued by Miss Six's biological mother back then. I refused, and I didn't say much else."

Hearing what Chen Hai said, the old man knew that he remembered correctly, "The fourth child didn't even know that there was this child. Xin Yi's biological mother would rather bring up the child by herself, so it can be seen that no one will know who her biological father is, so as not to let others know who her biological father is. If the Duke's Mansion is robbing her of the child, then the origin of the child's abilities is somewhat suspicious, so investigate carefully, but don't alarm anyone, go quietly."

Chen Hai nodded, "Yes, this subordinate has remembered."

The old man stared at the dark night sky outside, and said as if he was talking to himself: "Xin Yi is lucky, the salt merchant's private treasury, His Royal Highness, has not caught anyone for so long, and Xin Yi will go tonight When it rained, the salt merchants thought that the heavy rain was just covering their tracks, so they took advantage of the rain and ran into Xin Yi, who was betting with King Rong..."

Chen Hai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "What the old man said is that Miss Six's luck is really good."

The old man didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes drifted, and he finally sighed, "The time and place are right for people... as long as this person is in the same place, the road in this life will be easy."

Chen Hai didn't dare to start a conversation, he stood aside and listened quietly, he knew that the old man didn't need him to answer.

"Back then, the fourth child had the right location and people, but was a bit unlucky in the weather..." The old man's voice was almost silent, and he murmured softly.

People who march and fight must pray to heaven and earth before going out to fight, just to borrow some righteousness from heaven and earth to strengthen our army's morale.

Luck in the dark... This is the most elusive.

The right place and people can be planned by people's hearts, but only the right time can't be calculated.

****
Su Xinyi slept heavily, but woke up in the morning with a buzzing head and a stuffy nose, probably because of the heavy rain last night.

Fortunately, she has always been strong, so she didn't take this minor illness to heart, but as soon as Forsythia came in to help the girl get up, she heard the girl's voice and hurriedly asked someone to report to Madam.

The Fourth Madam came very quickly, looked at Su Xinyi and hurriedly said: "Don't get up, lie down quickly, I'll send someone to invite the doctor."

"Mom, I'm fine. I'll be fine after pouring a bowl of ginger soup, but I'm just catching a cold." Su Xinyi was a little embarrassed, it's really not a serious illness.

"It won't work." The Fourth Madam pushed her back, put her hands on her daughter's forehead behind her back for a try, and then withdrew her hand in peace, "You can't be careless even if you have a minor illness."

Mammy She came in, holding a bowl of soup in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the cold-dispelling soup that the old slave asked the kitchen to make. I used to drink it in the palace. Miss, first drink a bowl of cold-dispelling soup." .”

The fourth lady took the bowl, and Su Xinyi hurriedly sat down on the soft pillow and finished the soup bowl, "Mom, I'll do it myself."

The Fourth Madam handed her the bowl, watched her pour down the whole bowl of soup, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "You are still young, and there are some things you don't understand. A girl's body is very delicate, so take good care of it." , you can’t catch the cold, otherwise you will suffer in the future.”

The Fourth Madam's face was sad when she mentioned this, she herself is not easy to conceive because of her cold body.

As soon as Su Xinyi saw her mother like this, she immediately said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and won't let my mother worry."

The fourth lady smiled slightly, "It's good to be obedient, is there any discomfort now?"

"No, it's just that the nose is a little stuffy." Su Xinyi said.

After speaking, the doctor arrived, Lian Qiao hurriedly got off the bed curtain, put the girl's hand outside the tent, put another handkerchief on her wrist, and then invited the doctor to sit down.

The fourth lady was watching from the side, listening to the doctor saying that there is no serious problem, but the expression on the face of the cold eased.

The doctor wrote a prescription and told how to make the medicine, and he left after receiving the consultation fee.

The delphinium went to get the medicine to boil, and Lianqiao hurriedly tidied up the house. Madam She said to the fourth lady, "Madam, don't worry, if you drink this medicine from the doctor, the girl's illness is mild, and she will recover soon."

The fourth lady nodded, "I have to trouble Mama to take care of her." She said and looked at Xin Yi again, "You rest, I'll go and tell your grandmother, don't go over there today to say hello."

Su Xinyi agreed. Mrs. Tai is old after all, and it is really difficult for her to get over her illness.

As soon as the fourth lady left, Lian Qiao had already brought breakfast, and put it directly on the small table beside the bed, "Girl, let's make a living here."

Su Xinyi: ...

She was just a little cold.

After breakfast, Su Xinyi took the medicine again and felt drowsy. Madam She told her to lie down and sleep peacefully. She should be much more refreshed after waking up.

When Su Xinyi was sick in the countryside, she would drink a bowl of medicine and fall asleep immediately. She felt much refreshed after sweating, and most of her illness was gone, so she covered her brocade quilt and fell asleep.

When Mrs. Zeng heard that Su Xinyi was ill, she came to visit with a few sisters-in-law. Knowing that she had taken the medicine and fell asleep again, she left without disturbing her.

At this time, Pang Lan in the East Palace had already reported the situation in the private treasury to His Highness the Crown Prince in detail, and all the captured people were sent to prison to wait for interrogation.

Yan Junchu listened to Pang Lan's words and didn't speak for a long time. Counting this time, this is the second time for Su Xinyi to save King Rong.

"Your Highness?" Pang Lan looked at His Highness in a daze, and reminded him, "Do you want to interrogate now?"

"Is it all private salt that was intercepted in the carriage?" Yan Junchu asked after recovering.

Pang Lan thought about it for a while and said, "It's hard to say whether it is a private salt or not. I haven't seen the salt quotation yet. If there is no salt quotation, it must be a private salt. If there is a salt quotation, we can only continue to investigate this matter."

If there is a salt guide, this batch of intercepted salt belongs to the owner, so it is natural to be more cautious in handling it.

"Did Qin Guogong explain it?" Yan Junchu asked with a more serious expression.

"Not yet, Lord Qin insists that he has no relationship with Ma Rude in private, and his subordinates are still investigating the evidence. At present, there is no evidence to prove that Lord Qin has a relationship with Ma Rude, only the Duke of Qin's mansion has some intersection with Ma Rude's daughter, that is, entering the mansion as a concubine Because this matter involves the back house, Mrs. Qin Guogong insisted that this matter is all her idea, so I have to investigate again." Pang Lan is very headache, the more troublesome the matter is, the more people are involved, the more cautious they should be .

"Arrest Ma Rude as soon as possible, the only way is to arrest him and testify against him." After speaking, Yan Junchu looked at Pang Lan, "How is the interrogation at An Jingqi going?"

"An Jingqi is now only willing to admit the matter of alchemy and test medicine, Yan Yin case categorically denies it. His subordinates are working with Taoist Guanzhu Wuwei of Wuji Taoist Temple to see if they can find any clues." Pang Lan said.

Yan Junchu nodded, "Send a letter to Princess Dongli, telling her about An Jingqi's arrest."

Pang Lan's eyes lit up, "Yes, as long as Concubine An knows that her brother has been arrested, she may make some moves in a hurry, and her subordinates must keep a close eye on him."

Yan Junchu nodded, "Go."

Pang Lan walked away excitedly, as if stepping on the wind under her feet.

The movement of the arrest in the south of the city was not small, and it was faintly spread the next day, especially the people in the south of the city were talking about it. Although it was washed away by the heavy rain, the swords and swords were still cut on the walls in the alley the next day. trace.

The house that everyone had always hated before was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one dared to surround it, so they could only discuss it from a distance.

Tian Zao and Bao Datong shuttled through the crowd, and it took most of the day to leave quietly.

Bao Datong followed Tian Zao, each of them carrying a small burden, walked from the south city to the direction of the imperial city on foot.

"Tian Zao, are you saying we are really going to Duke Qi's mansion?" Bao Datong was a little timid, what is the Duke's mansion, can people like them go there?

Tian Zao hurried on his way, and after hearing Bao Datong's words, he replied, "We won't eat rice in the Duke's Mansion, and we will leave after staying for a year or so. What are you afraid of?"

"Can you not be afraid?" Bao Datong's voice was mournful. He suffered a lot in the early years, so he was a little hesitant about the unknown.

"What's the use of being afraid? You don't want to take revenge? It was a deal between Master Zeng and Miss Su Liu when we went to the Duke's Mansion, and Miss Su Liu didn't take us in for nothing." Tian Zao pursed her lips, "Sooner or later we will Let’s go, go to the Duke’s Mansion and just be obedient if you don’t cause trouble, don’t be afraid.”

Hearing Tian Zao's words, Bao Datong felt the same, and slowly relaxed.

"Aren't you going to the Duke's Mansion? Is this the wrong way?" Bao Datong hurriedly grabbed Tian Zao, "Where are you going?"

Tian Zao stood still and looked at him, "You are not allowed to submit a certificate when you enter the mansion?"

"I have to pay this too?" Bao Datong was startled, "Didn't you say Master Zeng made a deal with Miss Six?"

"That's Master Zeng's ability, not ours. We have to let Miss Su Liu see our ability. I will go to the guard in the future, and I will go to the northern guard. If I have no ability, I can't go there." Tian Zao pressed hard. Putting the burden on him, "Master Zeng told Miss Six about the private treasury in the south of the city, but what Master Zeng didn't say was the details of the people guarding the private treasury. This is reserved for us to make meritorious service."

Bao Datong was a little confused, as if he didn't quite understand.

Tian Zao saw it and said directly: "Don't think about it, just follow me."

"That's fine." Bao Datong immediately agreed, making him think that these are really terrible.

Tian Zao took Bao Datong and disappeared behind a gate of Shangsanfang. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Su Yi walked back to the house in the dark, anxious all the way, when he entered the house, he went back to his own yard first, and when he saw his wife coming up to meet him, he asked, "Sister Six, are you okay?"

He only found out about Xin Yi's bet with King Rong today, and he rushed back after he left the Yamen.

Zeng followed her husband into the door, and said as she walked, "It rained last night, and today I feel a little uncomfortable. Is your husband looking for Sixth Sister?"

Su Yi let it go as soon as he heard it, "Let her take care of it first, the matter is not urgent for now."

As soon as Zeng heard it, she said, "Then shall I tell Sixth Sister tomorrow?"

"No need." Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mrs. Zeng and asked, "How is Eldest Sister?"

"It's good. With my eldest sister at home, it's much easier for me to help my mother with the housework." Zeng said with a smile. In the past, her mother-in-law always looked down on her, so she would inevitably make things difficult for her. Now that the eldest sister is back, The mother-in-law didn't have much thought to embarrass her.

Moreover, with the elder sister speaking for her in the middle, she always felt that her mother-in-law was kinder to her than before.

Su Yi nodded when he heard the words, "Eldest sister has always been good-natured, you can get along with her."

Mrs. Zeng agreed with this very much, so she talked about the affairs of Su Baiwei's mother and daughter in the mansion, especially when sister Yun was pleasing people at this time, the two husband and wife enjoyed themselves happily and talked at night after closing the door.

On the other side, Su Xinyi slept for a whole day, took medicine and slept for another night. When she woke up the next day, she felt alive and well. She didn't know that King Rong was called into the palace by the queen, and he was scolded face-to-face.

As soon as Su Xinyi recovered from her illness, she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai asked a few words with concern, and felt relieved knowing that she was fine.

Su Jingmo and the others were curious about what she was doing out at night, so they pulled her aside and muttered.

Madam Tai looked at Da Furen and said: "The Palace of Dongli issued an invitation card, saying that it is to congratulate Princess Dongli on her recovery from a serious illness. You can go for a walk then."

The eldest lady remembered that Dongli Palace had some grievances with the fourth sibling and Xin Yi, so she turned to look at the fourth lady, "Fourth sibling, what do you think?"

The fourth lady said: "Sister-in-law, you can go."

The grievances between Sifang and Dongli Palace cannot drag Dafang into the water.

Da Furen nodded, looked at Tai Furen and said, "Mother, then I'll go through the motions and find an excuse to come back."

"You can do as you see fit." Mrs. Tai is not too involved in these things now, "However, there are a lot of things going on in the Dongli Palace recently, so you should avoid it after you go."

There has been a lot of limelight in their house recently, so it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and provoke right and wrong.

On the other side, Su Xinyi also heard these words, thinking in her heart that Princess Dongli's illness has recovered, and whether the investigation of the affairs of the Palace of Dongli is almost done?

If that's the case, Concubine An doesn't know what to do.

The case has not been announced to the public, and it is impossible for Su Xinyi to tell the aunt that Concubine An is one of the culprits who killed the elder sister and Li, so she can only wait.

The family left after having lunch at Mrs. Tai's place. Su Xinyi went back to her yard. Before she had a rest for noon, she was called up by the people around Mrs. Fourth.

"Girl, get up quickly, someone is coming from the palace."

Su Xinyi froze for a moment, "In the palace?"

"Yes, it is said that it is the nanny in charge in front of the empress, Madam asked you to go to Madam Tai immediately." Lian Qiao said quickly.

Su Xinyi had no choice but to change her clothes and return to Rongxi Hall. When she arrived, she saw Mrs. Tai talking to a woman with a round face and a light brown palace dress. hello.

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "Nurse An, this is my sixth granddaughter. The child has just come back not long ago, and I want to show it to the empress in a few days."

The woman called Mother An stood up, smiled at Su Xinyi and said kindly, "This old slave has seen Miss Six."

Su Xinyi was no stranger to Nanny An, but now she took a look with just enough curiosity, "Nurse An."

Madam An secretly looked at this Miss Su Six, who had recently gained a lot of fame, and only looked at her wearing a purple double-breasted jacket skirt, which lined her skin like creamy skin, which made people a little surprised. This Miss Six really didn't look like a country girl. so rough.

Moreover, the eyes were black and white, bright and shining, and he stood there upright, with a heroic spirit, no wonder he was able to save His Highness Rong Wang twice.

The smile on Mother An's face deepened when she thought of this, "Last time in the hunting ground, the six girls helped His Highness Rong Wang. Your Majesty has long wanted to see the girl, but she was not feeling well a few days ago. I didn't expect this time The girl saved His Royal Highness Rong Wang again, the old lady has not recovered from her old illness and announced the girl to enter the palace, so I can only let the old slave come to see the girl."

After speaking, Madam An asked someone to lift up the two big boxes that had been prepared. The sound of the boxes falling to the ground was heavy and powerful, which showed that the contents in the boxes were definitely not light.

"This is the Queen's reward for the sixth girl." Nanny An said with a smile.

With a smile on Su Xinyi's face, he actually sneered in his heart. The queen was afraid that she would be in favor of King Rong, so she rewarded so many things, and it was a warning to herself to know how to measure.

This person has always been so unwilling to go straight when doing things, and always wants to stretch his mind around corners.

Su Xinyi kowtowed in the direction of the palace, then got up and stood aside with a smile and said nothing.

Mother An was amazed when she saw it, if she didn't know the words and deeds of the sixth girl, she would think she was a lady.

Mrs. Tai is old and refined, how can she fail to see the meaning behind the queen's reward, not only a reward, but also a beating on the Duke of Qi's mansion.

The fourth lady's complexion is not very good-looking, the second lady has a good temper, and she is also slightly displeased at this time, only the third lady's eyes are rolling on the two boxes.

The eldest lady held her breath in her heart, but she couldn't commit disrespect to the empress, she had to greet her with a smile.

After sending the person away, the Da Furen looked at the Tai Furen and said, "Mother, what the empress did is really chilling."

Mrs. Tai glanced at Mrs. Tai, looked at Su Jingmo and the others and said, "You guys go back too, Xin Yi stays."

Su Jingmo hurriedly left obediently, and before leaving, he secretly gave Su Xinyi a wink, which meant to tell them back.

Su Xinyi: ...

After the children left, Mrs. Tai looked at everyone and said, "Open the box."

Mama Yu, who was beside Madam Tai, took Yao Huang and other maids and rushed forward to open the two big boxes. Everyone felt that their eyes were shining brightly.A box is full of all kinds of glittering jewelry. If you look closely, you can see that hairpins, hairpins, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces are all there, and they are all in a set.

The other box is filled with all kinds of satins newly received in the palace this year, all of which are the best cloth, as beautiful as the streamer.

It's all for girls, let's say it's expensive, it's precious, but it's not too expensive, let's say it's not expensive, it's all rare and rare, here is a piece of jewelry, all of which are imprinted with the seal of the palace, It looks very long when worn out.

Not everyone can get the queen's reward.

Just because these things are precious, it can better explain the Queen's attitude, and the grace of saving lives is settled with money.

Su Xinyi has dealt with the queen many times, so he knows her temperament very well, so he said with a smile at this time: "Grandma, let me divide all these things."

Su Xinyi's unimportant attitude made Mrs. Tai very satisfied, and said: "Then let's divide it up. It's just something outside of the body, and it's nothing."

Su Xinyi just laughed, Mrs. Tai is so angry, these words are really not polite at all.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Mrs. Tai looking at her and said: "Since the Empress has rewarded you, our family has to thank you. Tomorrow, you can hand in the post and enter the palace."

The eldest lady would have been unwilling before, but now she agrees without saying a word.

Thank you?

Mrs. Tai still wants her to publicize the matter.

　The [-]-word update is complete, so cute, please ask for a monthly ticket to dig, thank you everyone.
