Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 920 People’s hearts are inherently unpredictable

After the Lantern Festival, it was really cold for a while. It wasn't until mid-February that the weather gradually slowed down, and the north wind howled and the snow fell every day. On this day, the sun finally came out, and Shang Ruyi took Xiao Yuanzi out of Qianqiu Palace and went to Jinyu Garden.

Because of the incident in Tangquan Palace, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was in a bad mood. Chu Ruoyan did not dare to show up in front of the emperor because of Jiang Chongen's affairs. During the entire Chinese New Year, she did not leave Jinyuyuan for fear of someone. He accidentally made the emperor angry and implicated his mother and brothers in Yanchun Palace.

So she was particularly happy when she saw Shang Ruyi coming with Xiao Yuanzi on this day.

The table was filled with snacks and snacks she made herself, as well as rose tea she made. The cool air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits, which made Shang Ruyi smile and said: "My sister's place is better. Spring hasn't arrived yet. Smell the fragrance of spring.”

Chu Ruoyan lowered his head and smiled: "I have nothing to do, just do these to pass the time."

Shang Ruyi felt sour in his heart.

How could she not hear that this was not a leisurely act, but an act of helplessness? Although Chu Ruoyan said it lightly, loneliness can kill people.

So he said softly: "Due to the incident in Tangquan Palace these days, the situation in the palace is more complicated, and King Qin has no time to spare. After a while, he will definitely come to see you more often."

Chu Ruoyan blushed and said, "I, that's not what I meant..."

Shang Ruyi smiled.

The two chatted for a while, and Shang Ruyi got up and left. Chu Ruoyan also asked someone to pack two more boxes of snacks to take with them. When they returned to Qianqiu Palace, they saw that Yu Wenye had already returned and was sitting at the table drinking tea. , as soon as he saw the food box in Tusheer's hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Have you gone to Jinyuyuan?"

Yu Wenye told Tu She'er to put down the box and opened it. Inside were several plates of exquisite snacks, fragrant with fragrance. He sighed: "She used to not touch Yangchun water with her fingers, but now she can make such good snacks. It’s also rare.”

Chu Ruoyan immediately said: "Yuanzi, do you like the fragrance of flowers?"

Chu Ruoyan frowned slightly and said, "You are almost half a year old, why haven't you given a name yet?"

Xiao Yuanzi probably liked the fragrance of flowers on her body, and kept giggling when she got into her arms.

The two of them were talking, but Xiao Yuanzi, who was nestled in Shang Ruyi's arms, became restless. He smelled the fragrance of flowers and fruits in the air and was particularly excited. He climbed up to the small table along Shang Ruyi's knees and returned. When he was about to reach out to grab the snacks on the plate, Shang Ruyi quickly held his hand. The fat kid grunted displeasedly, and then grinned at Chu Ruoyan across from him.

"Well, go over and talk to Mrs. Chu for a while."

Chu Ruoyan felt her heart melt. She held Xiao Yuanzi in her arms without letting go. While patting him gently, she pressed her cheek against the child's tender and chubby cheek, and then turned her head. She asked Shang Ruyi, "Does Yuanzi have a name?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head.

Mentioning this is also a worry for Shang Ruyi. After giving the nickname "Yuanzi", Yuwen Yuan no longer mentioned the matter of naming his children. If they were ignored because of the incident in Tangquan Palace, but for this emperor The eldest grandson was unambiguous at all, and he still sent rewards from time to time. It was also because of this that the people in the palace did not dare to neglect him.

"It's also because of loneliness."

Shang Ruyi said: "Probably, my father is still thinking about it."

Shang Ruyi smiled and handed the child to her. As soon as Chu Ruoyan took it, both of her hands were weighed down. She hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm a lot fatter than before. I'm so fast." I can’t hold it anymore.”

Yu Wenye raised her head and glanced at Shang Ruyi, and she said: "Your Highness, if you have time, please go and see her more often."

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, Shang Ruyi immediately said: "I just think that she is too frustrated these days. Jiang Chongen's matter was originally his own obsession and had nothing to do with Mrs. Chu. Because of this , she didn’t dare to leave Jinyuyuan for most of the year.”

Yu Wenye's expression softened slightly and he sighed softly: "Of course I know, but there are too many things going on recently. I will go see her when I have some time." Shang Ruyi immediately said: "By the way, have you found anything?"

Yu Wenye shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.

Not only did the emperor send the left-wing military guards to search the city, they also sent people to conduct private inspections and undercover investigations. However, after the person who intercepted and killed Pei Xingyuan was silenced, there were really no clues at all. Now that the case is stuck here, even they have no clue. clue.

Yu Wenye took a piece of snack from the box and took a sip of the tea. He thought it tasted good. He nodded slightly and said, "However, I made a new discovery today."

Shang Ruyi immediately asked: "What?"

Yu Wenye said: "When my people were searching the city, they found that there was another team of people who were also investigating this matter."

"Who?"

"A person from Duke Wushan."

"The Duke of Wushan? Yu Dingxing?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately thought of something and said, "Since he is also investigating, then he probably didn't do the thing."

Yu Wenye nodded gently.

In fact, from some rumors they heard these days, the Crown Princess was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They vaguely realized that this matter was not probably done by the Yu family's father and daughter. It was just that the two of them had done it before. That incident made everyone target them. The emperor even asked Yu Dingxing to personally lead a team out of the city to hunt down Jiang Tai and Liang Youying, regardless of his eye injury. That's why they are so anxious to find out the truth now, probably I also want to prove my innocence.

Shang Ruyi's eyes suddenly became clear, and then his brows furrowed even more tightly.

If it wasn't the Yu family and his daughter, who could it be?
Yu Wenye washed his hands after eating a piece of snack, came back and sat next to her, and said: "This incident has involved many people since it happened. Everyone has gained or lost power because of this incident, but No matter what, these people who intercepted and killed Pei Xingyuan will definitely not get out of this circle. "

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and murmured: "The people involved in the Tangquan Palace incident include the crown prince, the crown prince's father and daughter, Lou Liangdi and his daughter, as well as you, me, the Pei family, and the people from Wanggang Village ”

"..."

"If it's not the Crown Princess, who else would want to kill Pei Xingyuan?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked up at Yu Wenye.

"Could it be——"

Yu Wenye took another sip of tea, savoring the bitterness and sweetness in the tea. He was silent for a long time and said, "The human heart is unpredictable."

Shang Ruyi lowered his head and thought about it. He couldn't believe it. He seemed to have figured something out in his disbelief. He sighed and shook his head.

"Then, what are you going to do? Tell Father?"

"Tell Father, there is no other use than clearing the suspicion on us," Yu Wenye's eyes flickered and said, "It would be nice if we could become a favor."
