After the prince enters the play

Su Xinyi didn't have lunch in Yuanhui Palace, the queen let her join her, but Su Xinyi thought that this was the first family dinner between the queen and her son and daughter-in-law, so she didn't want to join in the fun.

After returning to the East Palace, just as Su Xinyi sat down to rest for a while, Delphinium lifted the curtain and came in, "Crown Princess, Zhanqiao is here."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "Let him in."

Zhanqiao came in very quickly, and saluted first when he saw the princess, "My subordinates pay their respects to the princess."

"Get up." Su Xinyi looked at Zhan Qiaodao, "But is there any news?"

There was a bit of a smile on Zhanqiao's face, "The princess is really powerful. The people under Zeng Liang really have some skills. Cao Qing really found something by cooperating with him."

Su Xinyi regained his energy immediately, "Tell me what's going on carefully."

"After Yi Wang came to Beijing, he hardly walked out of Yi Wang's mansion. I didn't see him go out to visit friends or others, and he never attended a banquet in other provinces. At least on the surface, he seemed to be very well-behaved."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, Yiwang and his wife seem like honest and cowardly people."

"Rumours are spreading in the capital now, and King Yi finally can't sit still." Zhanqiao also thought it was a bit funny when he said this, His Royal Highness Rong Wang's trick was messy, but it worked.

Su Xinyi also smiled when he heard the words, looked at Zhanqiao and said, "It's a bit of a surprise."

At the beginning, King Rong acted out of anger, but she thought that judging by the way King Yi acted after he entered Beijing, it was likely that he would not make a move, and he might continue to hold back, or he might be honest.

Unexpectedly, King Yi moved.

Hearing Zhanqiao say that Su Xinyi only knew that after the rumors spread, all kinds of suspicions about King Yi surged up in the capital in an instant. With such a huge momentum, there must be a pusher behind it. Now Zhanqiao has not found out who it is, but it is not It does not prevent King Yi from being uneasy.

"King Yi asked Ji Shilang to meet?" Su Xinyi was still surprised, Ji Yun went to Princess Yi's banquet, and now Yi Wang met Ji Shilang privately again. "From this point of view, there may be some kind of communication between Yi Wang and Ji Shilang."

"The place of the appointment is very secret. King Yi changed into the clothes of the guards on the day he left the mansion. If it weren't for the little beggar next to Zeng Liang, everyone who came out of King Yi's mansion would follow, and they might be deceived." Zhanqiao said Said, "Not only changed the clothes of the guards, but also made some makeup on the face, so our own people stared at it for a while and didn't notice it."

Su Xinyi was silent for a while, and then said: "It's true that people can't be judged by appearances. In this way, this rumor made King Yi so abnormal. Maybe there was something hidden about him being able to get this title in the first place."

Don't be afraid of rumors.

"This subordinate also thinks so." Zhanqiao said immediately.

"Where did they meet?" Su Xinyi asked again.

After Su Xinyi asked, she saw that Zhanqiao had a strange look on her face. She changed her mind, suddenly remembered a place, and blurted out, "Could it be Yuling Nunnery?"

Exhibition bridge: ...

"Prince Princess, it is Yuling Nunnery."

Su Xinyi sneered, "It's not surprising at all. Do you remember the guard who committed suicide in the paddock?"

Of course Zhanqiao remembered, "Yes, that guard was entrusted by Xu Yurong to enter the hunting ground of Princess Runyi."

When Su Xinyi heard Zhanqiao mention Yan Qiongsi, his heart couldn't help but tremble. Was Yan Qiongsi really deceived by Xu Yurong in this matter, or did she actually know something?
Thinking of Yan Qiongsi's sudden plan to marry Jiang Zhongnian...

Su Xinyi's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing that the Crown Princess looked bad, Zhanqiao didn't know what was going on for a while, "Prince Princess..."

Su Xinyi looked at Zhanqiao, "Did you know about Yan Qiongsi's engagement to Second Young Master Jiang?"

Zhanqiao nodded, "It has been spread all over the world now, who still doesn't know."

"Was it spread?" Su Xinyi was quite surprised, "It's just a recent incident, why did it spread?"

Zhanqiao shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know what's going on. I've been on errands for the past few days, and when I'm staying in restaurants and teahouses, I can always hear people mentioning this marriage."

"The Jiang family is definitely not willing to publicize this marriage. Yan Qiongsi's reputation is not very good." Su Xinyi thought about it and said, "Then the news must have come from the Guangping County Prince's Mansion, but I don't know it's from the Bare Butt County Prince's Mansion It means that Yan Qiongsi did it himself."

"Then go check it out?"

"No need." Su Xinyi shook his head, "At the beginning, because of the dead man, His Highness and the mansion sent people to visit Suizhou, but I didn't expect King Yi and Ji Shilang to meet at Yuling Nunnery this time. Could it be that there is no 300 taels of silver here?"

Zhanqiao's expression was not good, "If that guard really belonged to King Yi, why did he plan on marrying the daughter of You's family to King Xiang?"

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out now, but she had a faint feeling that the Jiang family couldn't let it go. She and Jiang Ruolan were friends, and she couldn't just watch the Jiang family being dragged into the quagmire by Yan Qiongsi.

If the Jiang family is forced to side with King Yi, it will not be a good thing for the prince.

"Go to Jiang's house quietly, I want to meet Mrs. Jiang." Su Xinyi looked at Zhanqiao, "It's always inappropriate to make an appointment outside, just like King Yi went to see Ji Shilang, and he was not caught by Zeng Liang's man." Find the flaw. In this way, you first pass a letter to Madam Jiang, so that she will know, and I will ask Madam Xiang to come forward and invite Madam Jiang to drink tea."

Zhanqiao heard the words and said hesitantly, "If the third lady knows about this, I don't know if she is willing or not."

The third wife in the mansion has always had a bad temper. Mrs. Xiang is her natal family's sister-in-law, so she may not be willing to get involved with her natal family.

Su Xinyi thought for a while. If it was about making appointments with female relatives, only Mrs. Xiang was the most appropriate one on her side, because she didn't have much contact with Mrs. Xiang on weekdays, and Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Jiang drank tea, and no one would think of her when they saw the two of them. .

However, the third lady...

"Then let the third uncle come forward and inform Mrs. Xiang that the Xiang family and Duke Qi's mansion are related by marriage, and they are on the same boat as the East Palace. Mr. Xiang will not shirk this kind of thing." Su Xinyi had a good impression of Mrs. Xiang. With a move here, with Mrs. Xiang's intelligence, she must know that she must have something to do.

Zhanqiao thought that it would be much better for the third master to come forward. Moreover, Mr. Xiang and Mr. Jiang are both civil servants, so it is normal for their family members to have contacts.

Zhanqiao immediately went to do this, and first went to the Fuwei Army to find the third master.

The third master was busy at the moment, when he heard that Zhanqiao was coming to see him, he looked at his son-in-law Yin Ru and said, "Go over and greet me first, I'll be there in a while."

Yin Ru immediately stood up and responded, "Yes, my lord."

In the yamen, Yin Ru has always been business-like, and after receiving the order, he turned around and walked out.

When Zhanqiao saw Yin Ru, he stepped forward to salute and said with a smile, "Fifth Young Master is well."

Yin Ru seldom dealt with the people on the side of the crown princess, so he nodded, "You don't need to be too polite for the guards, the commander is still busy with official duties, let the subordinates come over and take you there first."

Zhan Qiao said Xie and followed Yin Ru in, and sat down in the side hall of the yamen. He and Yin Ru were not familiar with each other, but Zhan Qiao was very good at business, and chatted enthusiastically with Yin Ru in a few words.

However, Zhanqiao didn’t mention anything about King Yi. He only said that the granary case was often discussed in the capital recently. Shang Junyan’s southward trip was proposed by the prince. Now His Royal Highness did not show up at King Jing’s wedding, so the news of the southward trip I can't hide it anymore.

Talking about this matter with Yin Ru now, there is naturally something to talk about.

"The disappearance of the eldest son-in-law is related to Fengpingwei, and may be involved in the case of the granary, so His Highness asked for an order to go south." Zhanqiao said.

There is nothing that cannot be said about this matter, and Zhanqiao will naturally not hide it.

Yin Ru was thoughtful when he heard the words, but he didn't expect Zhanqiao to tell him so happily, which was quite surprising.However, he is brother-in-law with Xie Jinglue, and he is indeed very concerned about his safety.

While talking, Zhanqiao saw the third master coming, and hurriedly got up to salute, "This subordinate has met the third master."

Yin Ru also got up to salute, thinking that the two of them must have something to do, so he took his leave.

After Yin Ru left, the third master looked at Zhanqiao, "Why did the princess ask you to come?"

Zhanqiao immediately talked about the matter, "...the third master should take care of this matter."

The third master's complexion is very bad, "King Yi and Ji Shilang have a private meeting?"

Zhanqiao nodded, "So the Crown Princess suspects that Princess Runyi intervened in the hunting ground incident, whether it was innocent or intentional, and the Jiang family and Princess Runyi just got engaged. This incident happened suddenly, and the Crown Princess got something News, there is something hidden about this marriage, the Jiang family has always been friendly with the East Palace, and I am also worried that the Jiang family will be implicated by Princess Runyi."

When the third master heard this, he understood, and the expression on his face fluctuated, and he said after a long while: "It's really not appropriate, okay, you go back and tell the princess about this matter, I will handle it myself, and I will write back to the princess after it is settled." .”

Zhanqiao got up and said goodbye when he got the right words, and the third master waved him to leave.

As soon as Zhanqiao left, the face of the third master became even uglier. At the beginning, the family suspected Suizhou about the dead man, but there was no evidence that it was related to King Yi. Su Qi stayed in Suizhou for so long because of this matter. .

Unexpectedly, King Yi went all the way to Beijing after going round and round, but the princess caught the clue.

However, why did King Yi plot against King Xiang's marriage in the first place?
King Xiang and King Yi have no grievances or enmities, there must be a reason.

The third master also couldn't figure it out, so he asked the long follower beside him to inquire about his uncle's whereabouts first, and then went to find someone in person when he got the news.

Mr. Xiang came down from the yamen, but was blocked by his brother-in-law, and he walked over when he saw someone, because of Aunt Weng, the relationship between the two of them was not harmonious.

However, since Aunt Weng went to the Zhuangzi, Mr. Xiang saw that this brother-in-law was more pleasing to the eye than before, so he was willing to give some face at this time.

"Brother." The third master came forward to say hello with a smile, the leader had a thick skin, and the third master pretended not to see the black face of the uncle.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

The third master had the cheek to follow Mr. Xiang all the way to Xiang's mansion, and only after he entered the door did he explain the purpose of his trip.

Lord Xiang was very surprised, "King Yi and Ji Shilang?"

Although the third master has never been serious, the expression on his face became serious when he was doing business. He nodded at this moment, "Yes, the news from the East Palace is not wrong. The place where they made an appointment is Yuling Temple. Brother, don't you Will you forget about the hunting ground?"

Mr. Xiang's face was ups and downs. Of course, he remembered that many people were involved in the incident at the hunting ground. Among them were many female relatives, such as Xu Yurong, the daughter of the Marquis of Anding who was expelled from the house, and Princess Runyi. However, Xu Yurong fled abroad, and Princess Runyi was found to be innocent after investigation. He was only entrusted by Xu Yurong to bring someone along.

However, now it seems that things were not that simple back then.

If Princess Runyi is not innocent, then the Jiang family...

Mr. Xiang's expression is ugly. He has a good relationship with Jiang Shangshu. Although they are officials in the same dynasty, there is no friction between the two political views. Mr. Jiang will meet more often.

After hearing his brother-in-law's request, Mr. Xiang agreed after thinking about it, and immediately sent someone to invite his wife over.

Mr. Jiang is a good official. If someone framed him because of this matter, he can't just sit idly by.

It's not easy to intervene in other things, but the princess asked him to help.

Mrs. Xiang came very quickly, and greeted the third master with a smile, "Why didn't my sister come back with you?"

The third master smiled and said the reason, and Mrs. Xiang's expression also became serious. She looked at her husband and brother-in-law and said, "Recently, I also heard that the marriage between the princess Runyi and the second son of Jiang came suddenly, and I heard some inside stories. I didn't take it to heart, but if I heard what my brother-in-law said, then Princess Runyi..."

Too not a thing.

Mrs. Xiang agreed to the matter without refusing, "I will send a message to Mrs. Jiang first, and then send the letter to my brother-in-law after an appointment is made."

The third master naturally agreed, and left after having lunch in Xiang's mansion. He always had to do everything.

It was the next day that Su Xinyi got the news, so it was inevitable that someone would find out. It was the mother in charge of the third wife who sent the news.

On the day when Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Jiang met, Su Xinyi calculated the time and left the East Palace. This time, she changed into an ordinary woman's ordinary clothes, and took a carriage to go out.

The meeting place was at Yiyuan Residence. When Su Xinyi arrived at Yiyuan Residence, he could smell the familiar smell of drunken duck, and he felt a little greedy for a while.

The girl next to Mrs. Xiang had been waiting for a long time, seeing that the Crown Princess looked like she had entered Yiyuanju to buy drunk duck, she pretended to meet her by chance and went forward to salute.

When Su Xinyi saw the girl next to Mrs. Xiang, she naturally greeted Mrs. Xiang, knowing that she was here to meet and say hello, so it was logical.

Because there was not much movement and no one else's idea, Su Xinyi went to the box on the second floor, opened the door and went in. Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Jiang were already waiting for her.

"The minister's wife has seen the crown princess."

"You two ladies don't need to be polite, please sit down." Su Xinyi said hastily.

After Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Jiang waited for the crown princess to take their seats, they sat down one after another.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know what was going on, she only knew that the Crown Princess wanted to see her, and she wondered if it was because of Princess Runyi's marriage with her son. She knew that the Crown Princess and Princess Runyi had always been at odds, but she thought You wouldn't call yourself out to find out why you got married because of this, would you?

The Crown Princess is not such an impolite person. Because of this, Mrs. Jiang is still a little uneasy.

Mrs. Xiang glanced at the Crown Princess, then said with a smile: "The Crown Princess and Mrs. Jiang are talking first, and I will come as soon as I go."

Su Xinyi knew that Mrs. Xiang wanted to avoid suspicion, and was afraid that he would say something secret to Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Xiang knew that she should know, so Su Xinyi said with a smile: "Madam, sit down, I just have something to ask Madam. "

Mrs. Xiang was taken aback for a moment, but agreed anyway.

Mrs. Jiang watched this scene with ups and downs in her heart. She couldn't keep the smile on her face. What happened?

Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Jiang's expression, and before she came, she had already figured out how to speak, and said, "Speaking of which, I have a predestined relationship with my wife. When I first returned to the capital, I was helped by my wife, and Lingmei and I are close friends with handkerchiefs. If I have something to say, I’ll say it straight.”

Mrs. Jiang felt even more disturbed when she heard that, but when the crown princess mentioned the earlier incident, she smiled, "I dare not say the word "assisting". The incident about Xu Yurong was thanks to the crown prince's help."

"Madam and I are not too polite. It is one thing for us to have a personal relationship, but Mr. Jiang is an upright official and acts upright. This is also the fundamental reason why I must meet Madam today."

Mrs. Jiang didn't expect that the Crown Princess came because of her husband, and her face suddenly changed, "Princess, what's the matter? I'm a housewife, and I'm afraid I can't help the Crown Princess if I am involved in outside affairs."

Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Jiang and said the matter slowly. Before she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Jiang clutching her chest and almost pouted.

Mrs. Xiang hurriedly reached out to pat her on the back. Su Xinyi jumped when she saw it, and said quickly, "Madam, are you alright?"

Mrs. Jiang relieved her breath, and got up first to salute the Crown Princess solemnly. Su Xinyi was not convenient to get up while sitting, so she had to let Mrs. Jiang complete the salute, and then said: "Madam, why do you do this?" , sit down now. "

Mrs. Jiang's face was ashen, "I also heard a few words from my master about the hunting ground, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing after this, and I didn't expect Princess Runyi to be so deeply involved. If the princess concubine guesses That's right, then she plotted my son's marriage this time, I'm afraid she really has other plans, which is to harm our Jiang family."

Mrs. Xiang looked at Mrs. Jiang's angry lips, and hurried to the side to comfort her: "Mrs. Jiang, fortunately, there is a princess who has noticed something is wrong. Now I want to think of a countermeasure for asking you out. Let's talk about the business first."

Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "I have learned something about the engagement between Second Young Master Jiang and Princess Runyi."

Mrs. Jiang's face was even uglier when she mentioned this, and she sighed, "I'm not afraid of the jokes between the Crown Princess and Mrs. Xiang. I really don't want this marriage at all, but there is really nothing I can do... On that day, the princess of Guangping County and Mrs. Xiang Princess Runyi came uninvited, but Princess Runyi disappeared during the banquet, and I was invited by the girl not long after, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw my wicked son, insane and disheveled, hugging Princess Runyi..."

The matter is very different from what Rong Wang said, but from Mrs. Jiang's point of view, it must be different from Rong Wang's point of view. The girl who gave the medicine died on the spot, and there is no proof of her death, but how could Yan Qiongsi enter Jiang Zhongnian's yard?

Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth with hatred, "I was thinking of waiting for a while before finding a way to return this dormitory. Our Jiang family can't afford to marry such a vicious person. I didn't expect to get such news now. .”

Su Xinyi knew that she would not mistake Mrs. Jiang, so she really thought about trying to get rid of the marriage.
