After the prince enters the play

Chapter 99 099: Your Highness, what does this mean?

The smile on Su Xinyi's face couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't dare to stay here, and immediately wiped the soles of his shoes.

The prince looked at Su Xinyi's back, she had always been a tough character, so guilty, it could be seen that his guess was somewhat reasonable.

It's just that he didn't quite understand how long Su Xinyi had come to the capital and how he had a grudge with Shang Junyan, and Shang Junyan's reputation in the capital had always been very good, so it seemed that it was not easy to have a grudge with him.

Su Xinyi went back to find her sisters. Naturally, everyone was sensible and would not ask the prince why he was looking for her, but only said a few words about Jiang Mozhou and Yan Congjia.

Jiang Ruolan looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Shizi Yan is better, but the Second Young Master Jiang is not easy to get along with. Xin Yi should be more careful when he meets him in the future."

Su Xinyi nodded, "I also think this person doesn't give a very good impression. Anyway, there won't be many opportunities to deal with him in the future. Just walk around when you see him."

Jiang Ruolan glanced at Su Xinyi again. She never expected that Su Xinyi looked quite familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince. She knew that her brother treated Miss Su Liu differently from others, so she invited them out to the theater today. Not necessarily without the meaning of inquiring.

But looking at it now, Jiang Ruolan couldn't ask any more questions, and her thoughts of inquiring were suppressed, so she still had to look and see.

Her mother might be disappointed for the time being. Jiang Ruolan really likes Su Xinyi, and it would be nice to be her sister-in-law.

But looking at her brother's fate with Su Xinyi, it seems that it hasn't arrived yet, so let's wait and see.

After listening to the play, everyone dispersed.

When they went downstairs, the box opposite was already empty, so it was clean.

After returning to the mansion, today's matter is not considered a major event, but just a few words of quarrel. Naturally, everyone would not tell the elders, and went to ask Mrs. Tai for greetings, and then went back to each courtyard.

Su Baiwei was a little worried, and went back to her room, hugged her daughter who rushed over, and played with her for a while, but her mind was full of images of Jiang Mozhou and others today.

She heard some things from her younger brother, and knew that Jiang Mozhou had a lot to do with the concubine who plotted Qin Guogong to lose money, as well as the salt merchant. No matter how you looked at it, things were not simple.

She always felt that the way Jiang Mozhou looked at Xiao Liu today was not right, did he know something?
If so, of course she would worry about her sister's safety.

But how can she help her as a reconciled woman?
Thinking of this, Su Baiwei felt that she still needed to ask her younger brother. Now that my younger brother is working as an errand with His Highness the Crown Prince, there might be a way.

···
Su Xinyi accompanied her mother to dinner at night, and the fourth lady asked her about the theater today, and said with a smile: "There are many interesting places in the Golden Square. Later, I will let your fourth and fifth sisters take you out for a stroll."

Su Xinyi nodded in agreement, "We'll talk about it when the sisters are free. We go out a lot these days, so it's better to restrain yourself recently."

The fourth lady was amused, "We Xin Yi all know that we have restrained ourselves, and your grandmother must be very pleased to know."

Su Xinyi: ...

How unreliable she is.

Su Xinyi looked at his aunt, remembered Gao Yihua's marriage again, and asked, "Mother, is Cousin Yihua's marriage settled yet?"

When this matter was brought up, Mrs. Su's expression changed, she looked at her daughter and said, "I'm sure you're sure, that bunch of academics really has an impure heart for your cousin Yihua, last time Yihua went with your aunt I fulfilled my wish, but I met him again in the monastery."

"Again?" Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that he blocked Cousin Yihua before?"

"However, if you hadn't reminded me, who would have known that this man was ambitious. Your cousin Yihua bumped into him on a rare trip out of the house. Who would believe it was a coincidence? Fortunately, we were prepared and we didn't let him succeed."

Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief. Yihua was soft-tempered and had no opinions, but the sister-in-law had her own ideas. She changed the people around Yihua, and replaced them with a woman with a big waist and a round waist who could beat at a glance, and a close-fitting girl. It didn't change, but the two second-class maids were replaced by more clever ones. The one who should cooperate here is that the bunch of scholars made some moths, but these people stopped Gao Yihua and prevented him from seeing anyone.

After hearing what her mother said, Su Xinyi said: "Auntie is really amazing, this is really a good idea."

"Your cousin Yihua is good at everything, but she is soft-tempered." Mrs. Su sighed, "Your aunt is also afraid of another accident, so she appointed your cousin Yihua as the second son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. It will settle down in a few days.”

The second son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Su Xinyi had no impression, so he said: "Auntie just needs to be optimistic about the person."

"Your cousin is from a concubine, so Sun Jing was originally from a concubine. If the Sun family didn't have a good impression of your uncle, the marriage would not be so easy."

Su Xinyi was a little surprised. Generally speaking, those who are born in the same family will marry the born, and they pay attention to the right family.

"Since I value my uncle's knowledge, the Sun family has a good family style if they want to come here." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

"It's not a wealthy family, but it's also a family of poets and books. For your cousin, this marriage is an excellent one."

Su Xinyi nodded, it was indeed good.

The mother and daughter whispered something, and then Su Xinyi left and went back.

When she returned to her own yard, she fell asleep after washing, hoping that she would not see the prince's examining eyes in her sleep.

After Jiang Ruolan returned home, she went to see her mother first, and talked about listening to the play, and of course she talked about the conflict.

Mrs. Jiang frowned, looked at her daughter and said, "The prince of Guangping County is really outrageous. In the future, invitations to the Prince's Mansion of Guangping County must be carefully considered."

Jiang Ruolan didn't care too much about these things, so she said softly: "Mother, what do you think His Highness the Crown Prince can say to Miss Six? At that time, His Highness would only call Miss Six away. I looked at Shizi Yan and the others. They don't look quite right."

Mrs. Jiang was more informed than her daughter. She said softly: "I heard that His Royal Highness has a case in his hands. It seems that Miss Six has provided some clues. Anyway, it's a business, so let's not get involved."

Jiang Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, that's good, that's good, her brother still has a chance.

Jiang Ruolan came out from her mother, thought about turning a corner to find her elder brother, but unfortunately, her elder brother just went out, so I can only talk about it next time.

With this incident, Su Xinyi stayed at home obediently and never went out if there was nothing to do.

Mammy She gave her lessons to learn manners as usual, Su Xinyi learned manners and read books every day, and she had to practice for a while when she got up in the morning.

Her life has always been very regular, Mammy She said to the Fourth Madam, "It's really rare for the sixth girl to be so self-disciplined at such a young age. She wakes up to practice martial arts in the morning, and then she has to study. There is no free time at the end of the day. I don't see her cry out."

Fourth Madam Su couldn't help but feel distressed, "Nurse take care of these more, let her talk to other girls and have fun if there is nothing to do."

Mammy She replied with a smile, "This old slave has made a note."

Su Xinyi sat in the study and wrote a large piece of calligraphy, which was copied from the copybook given to her father by Mrs. Tai. A person's handwriting will also change with age.

As time went on, my father's handwriting became less sharp and more open-minded than when he was young.

After practicing calligraphy, Su Xinyi didn't leave the study, but sat on the warm couch in front of the window with a lamp in his hand, lost in thought.

She is not too young now, and when the marriages of the older sisters are settled, her marriage will be finalized, and then she will get married.

In the days after she got married, she had what happened in her previous life. She really didn't want to go through it again. Life is too short, so why bother to enclose herself in the four corners of the sky and fight with others all day long.

In her previous life, she had been thinking about what kind of person her father was, a genius praised by everyone, a hero who died for the country, and her father was almost perfect in the eyes of others.

So she also wanted to be a perfect lady and didn't want to embarrass her father.

But she forgot one thing, she grew up in the mountains, and she had the rebellion of a beast in her bones, and she was the one who was talking about painting a tiger or an anti-dog.

In this life, she doesn't want to be a lady who is highly praised by others. She wants to see the road her father walked. That is the deepest desire in her heart and the deepest obsession in her previous life.

Once this idea came out, she couldn't suppress it anymore.

It's just that it's too difficult to make the trip, and it needs to be planned slowly.

As the night gradually darkened, delphinium came in and lit the lamp, and turned it up a little brighter. Seeing the girl in a daze, she quietly retreated without disturbing her.

Lianqiao came in hurriedly from the outside, and happened to walk across from the delphinium, and the delphinium grabbed her, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Lian Qiao said: "The attendant next to the young master came to invite the girl, and said that the young master invited the girl to talk."

"Then go in quickly, I'm watching the girl in a daze of boredom."

Lian Qiao lifted her foot and entered the door, the girl was in a daze as soon as she entered, she immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Girl, young master, please go to the bookstore to talk."

Su Xinyi came back to his senses, stunned for a moment, and then said: "Go to the study in the front yard? Did you say anything?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said let the girl go."

Su Xinyi got up and went into the inner room to change clothes, and then sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Lianqiao to comb her hair. Because she didn't go out, she only did a simple braid, and it was inappropriate to go to the study in the outer courtyard.

After combing her hair, Su Xinyi lifted her feet and walked out. The delphinium had already lit up a lantern and waited, watching the girl come out and leading the way.

The early summer wind blowing on the face made people feel very comfortable. The master and servant walked through the hanging flower door all the way, stepped on the chaste verandah, and passed through a hallway before arriving at Su Yi's study.

The delphinium sent the girl to the study, and waited outside, standing on the left and the right with the young master's entourage, like two guardians.

Su Xinyi entered the door, Su Yi raised his head when he heard footsteps, saw his sister get up and said: "I invite you here so late because of Wushun's business."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "Is there a result?"

"Do you still remember the serial murder case in Beijing?"

"Remember, isn't that why Wu Shun was arrested?" Su Xinyi said.

The siblings sat down on the couch, and Su Yi nodded, "It was because of this matter, but now it is found that Wu Shun is not the murderer, the only thing that has been criticized is the kidnapping of Princess Dongli, Princess Dongli will not pursue it." In this matter, by the way, Wu is debt free."

Su Xinyi was overjoyed, she thought this case was weird before, and although she wasn't quite sure that Wu Shun was wronged, she also felt that she was at least [-]% sure, and now it was indeed the case, so she was naturally happy.

"Has the murderer been caught?" Su Xinyi asked with concern.

Su Yi looked at his sister, "Not yet, but His Highness already has an idea, it's just a matter of time." Speaking of which, he looked at his sister, "Wu Shun will be released tomorrow, are you going to pick him up tomorrow? "

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said: "I don't go out very much, it would be a waste for Wu Shun to be by my side, why not let him follow my elder brother, at least if he has a chance in the future, he can turn around."

Hearing this, Su Yi glanced at the girl again, "Your Highness guessed it right."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Xinyi looked at his elder brother and asked.

Su Yi smiled and looked at his younger sister, "His Royal Highness asked me to convey to you the news that Wu Shun can take it back, but His Highness said that the sixth younger sister is a person who cherishes talents, so I'm afraid that he may not really let Wu Shun follow you as a servant. I'm afraid there will be other arrangements for him."

Su Xinyi: ...

Can His Royal Highness read minds?

"Your Highness also said that if you really decide to let Wu Shun follow my wishes, let me ask you what you mean. Your Highness wants to temporarily conscript Wu Shun. You know that the case of Ma Rude is very involved, and Wu Shun was the first one they brought out. stepping stone, he's the right guy."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness wants to use Wushun?"

"Yes." Su Yi nodded.

Su Xinyi is still thinking about what the elder brother meant before, that Wu Shun was a stepping stone thrown by Ma Rude, that means...

"Brother, the previous serial murder case is also related to Ma Rude and the others?" Su Xinyi asked with a frown.

"It's still under investigation, I can't be sure, and I can't say." Su Yi looked at his sister, "This case is very complicated, not only involving the Yanyin case, the murder case has little to do with Yanyin, but it does. to another case. Although the two cases are not very related, the people behind the scenes seem to be related."

Su Yi could only say so much, he looked at his sister and waited for her answer.

The more Su Xinyi thought about it, the more confused she became. The two cases had little to do with each other, but the person behind the scenes did. Does this mean that the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to have committed the two cases?

The Yan Yin case is currently targeting Concubine An and Ma Rude. Could it be that the murder case is also related to them?

"If Wu Shun is willing, let him go." Su Xinyi was very happy. She didn't really want Wu Shun to be her cow and horse for the rest of her life when she saved people, but it was the most convenient way under the circumstances at that time. Most convincing move.

"How can Wu Shun be willing to do such a good thing? Although the murder case has proved that he is innocent, but someone deliberately framed him and tried to take his life. Of course, he also wants to find out clearly. But he promised to give You are the master, so naturally you need to ask for your consent first." Su Yi said with a smile, of course, you should ask your sister first about this kind of thing.

Su Xinyi smiled lightly, and then said, "Then let him go. Brother, does the inner ghost that Princess Dongli found have something to do with Concubine An Fang?"

Su Yi shook his head, "I have nothing to do with Dongli Palace's own affairs."

Su Xinyi looked at his elder brother, "How can it be the Dongli Palace's own business? This has a lot to do with it. Brother, you are so honest, how can you become an official like this."

Su Yi: ...

It was another day of being rejected by my sister.

"Then I can't inquire about people's housework all day, how bad is that?" Su Yichang felt ashamed that he had never done such a thing at his age.

Su Xinyi sighed, "Brother, you forgot, why did Wu Shun kidnap Princess Dongli? It was because of his sister's unjust death, and the unjust death of concubine Wu is also a case. You are justifiably investigating the case."

Su Yi: ...

It seems to be right to say so.

Su Xinyi supported his forehead, the eldest brother who was too upright really made people laugh and cry.

"Didn't the people over there remind you?" Su Xinyi asked.

"Although I was requisitioned by His Royal Highness, the errands I run are different, so..."

Yep, got it.

She even forgot that His Royal Highness conscripted him for the convenience of asking for rewards for him in the future.

After arriving at His Highness the Crown Prince's side, her elder brother didn't even have the slightest sense of hugging his thighs. He really is a very upright person.

"Brother, since His Royal Highness wants to borrow Wushun, it means that Wushun still has great uses. Now Wushun is also counted as a member of the Duke of Qi. You just follow this case."

Su Yi looked at his sister in surprise, can he still do this?

He hesitated before saying, "Isn't this stealing someone else's job?"

"What is someone else's errand, brother, think about it, His Royal Highness first seconded you, and now he borrows Wushun. This is an honest request for you to investigate the case. How can it be regarded as stealing someone else's errand? Who else is more legitimate than you?" Is it?" Su Xinyi said, "Besides, you are sharing the worries of His Royal Highness, Wu Shun is ours, and others may have concerns about using it. What concerns do we have, what is righteousness, this is it!"

Su Yi was immediately convinced, and nodded, "Okay, I will invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, she finally knew how to deal with her eldest brother, as long as she told the matter in the right direction, she would be fine.

Too honest, and sometimes it is a very good advantage.

It's just that I'm so tired.

"Then I'll pick up Wushun for you tomorrow, so that you don't have to make another trip." Su Yi looked like a big brother. These errands, how could he make my sister suffer, he just made a trip.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Okay, then thank you big brother, anyway, Wu Shun will follow you in the future, it's good if you try him in advance."

Su Yi looked at his sister dumbfounded, "You are really... okay, big brother knows, you should go back and rest quickly."

Su Xinyi got up and left. Before going out, she looked at her elder brother and said, "Brother, you have to do your best to do errands, but you must also pay attention to your own safety. Don't rush forward when you encounter problems."

Su Yi looked at his younger sister inexplicably, is he a fool in his younger sister's heart?
Early the next morning, Su Yi immediately went to the East Palace, and when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince, he told the whole story of last night, remembering his sister's words, and volunteered to take Wu Shun to continue investigating the murder case.

The crown prince was tired of dealing with the case for several days. At this time, he coughed lightly, and then looked at Su Yi, "Captain Su is willing to share his worries for the lonely, which is naturally a good thing. If Miss Six has no objection to Wushun's matter, then it will be decided like this."

Su Yi responded immediately: "It's all at His Highness's orders."

The prince looked at Su Yi with some hesitation upon hearing the words, "There is one more thing that is a little troublesome, I'm afraid I need Captain Su to help me out."

Upon hearing this, Su Yi immediately said: "Your Highness, just give orders."

The prince sighed softly, "Although Wu Shun did not kill anyone, it is true that he kidnapped Princess Dongli. There is no sufficient evidence to justify his name in the murder case. Gu then thought about recording Wu Shun in the East Palace roster first, and transferring him to Sixth Girl after his name is restored in the future, what does Captain Su think?"

Su Yi didn't expect His Royal Highness to be so considerate, and his eyes turned red immediately, "Wouldn't that cause trouble for His Highness, how can a subordinate do such a thing?"

The prince's heart choked for a moment, he took a breath, and then slowly opened his mouth, "It's okay, it's the prince alone, who handles the case at the order of His Majesty, who dares to speak up? But the sixth girl is different, she is just a woman, so why let her increase in vain? Troubled, criticized behind people's backs."

Su Yi was moved and thanked His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of his sister. After handing over Wushun's matter, it was just at lunch time. After thinking about it, he hurried back to the mansion, found Su Xinyi and told her about the matter, with a look on the prince's face. Your Highness has the demeanor of a good man.

Su Xinyi faintly felt that something was wrong, and she also knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was a good person, but whether Wu Shun would belong to her, in fact, with her current reputation, she didn't need to be afraid of it at all.

On the contrary, Wu Shun was temporarily recorded under the name of the East Palace. If she wanted to employ someone, she would have to go through the hands of the prince, which would be troublesome.

Su Xinyi always felt that she seemed to have missed something. His Highness the Crown Prince probably didn't deliberately punish her. His Highness is such a good person, I'm afraid he really wanted to help her.

Forget it, please be more troublesome.

On the other side, the prince took the roster and recorded Wu Shun's name in the column of the prince's personal guards, and then threw the roster to Yang Jin, "Take him well."

Yang Jin took the roster and opened it, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

What does this mean, Your Highness?
Yang Jin couldn't understand what His Royal Highness was going to do. Wushun was a suspect. Although the suspicion had been cleared, his name had not yet been rectified to the outside world, so he was recorded as a personal guard. This... If someone asks this, how can he explain it?

This is not easy to explain.

Especially Wu Shun's younger sister died in the Dongli Palace, and now His Highness has recruited Wu Shun into the East Palace and served as a personal guard. If the Dongli Palace knew about this, the scene would be exciting enough.

I'm afraid Dongli King will be so angry that he won't be able to sleep at night.

Yang Jin didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he turned around and went to pick someone up. It's not easy to enter the prince's personal guard, and there are many things to teach.

trouble.

Not to mention that Yang Jin was surprised, Wu Shun who was taken out of the prison was also confused.

He belongs to Miss Su Liu, but now he has been lent to His Highness the Crown Prince, so he still needs to be temporarily guarded by the Crown Prince?

He is just a small person, if it wasn't for avenging his sister, he wouldn't even be able to touch the pictures of these nobles on weekdays.

Enter the prince's personal guard?
Who dares to think about this.
