Once the Crown Prince Joins In

218: Thicker-skinned than Su Xinyi

Although it was sudden, Su Xinyi would not refuse the prince's words, and the prince looked at her with a serious expression, which made her feel something different in her heart.

The fact that he introduced her so solemnly to his younger brother, King Xiang, showed how much he valued the marriage.

When she was in Pingjing County Prince's Mansion, no one in that mansion looked at her seriously and treated her as a member of the family.

This is what it feels like to be valued.

"Su Xinyi, you don't need to take it too seriously. We just want to recognize each other when we meet." King Rong was not happy that his elder brother said this. Why was King Xiang so important? He didn't see his elder brother introducing him to Su Xinyi at the beginning. "The main thing is that I want to bring you and your eldest brother together."

How could Su Xinyi not see King Rong's little thoughts? He was immediately amused.

King Rong became even more angry when he saw it, "What do you mean, laughing at me?"

Su Xinyi immediately said: "Of course not, the prince is overthinking."

Yan Junchu was too lazy to talk to King Rong and led Su Xinyi in.

As soon as Su Xinyi entered the door, he saw Prince Xiang standing up immediately. He was wearing a light blue brocade robe and a golden crown on his head. He had slender eyebrows and handsome eyes, like a piece of jade, gentle and soft. Especially compared with Prince Rong, he was simply... It's a contrast to Rong Wang's naivety.

"It's all because of my poor eyesight that I didn't know that it was the Lord of Yong'an County. Please don't blame me, Lord of Yong'an County." Prince Xiang came over immediately and said with a smile.

Su Xinyi smiled lightly and said, "I have met His Highness Prince Xiang. His Highness said something serious. I have been ordered by His Majesty to protect the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince. How can the Prince know who I am when I dress up as a man today?"

King Rong had already shouted for people to serve the food. He asked his eldest brother to sit down first, and then looked at Su Xinyi, "You sit next to my eldest brother. I don't know what my father is thinking. There are so many guards with strong martial arts skills who don't need it. I have to have you." Take a trip.”

Su Xinyi saw His Highness the Crown Prince sitting down, and then looked at Prince Xiang and Prince Rong who had not yet taken their seats. As he was hesitating, he felt his hand being pulled. He turned around to face His Highness the Crown Prince's smile, and then sat down. .

She took her hand back a little uncomfortably, which was strange.

Yan Junchu smiled and took back his hand.

King Rong snorted and couldn't help complaining, "Brother, are you still worried that she will suffer a loss?"

As he spoke, King Rong sat down opposite Su Xinyi as if he was angry. After he sat down, King Xiang also sat down with him, with uncontrollable surprise in his eyes. The scene in front of him made him feel very surprised.

Yan Jun didn't even raise his head at first, and replied to King Rong, "There's a lot of talk at the moment. If the investigation is so neat, how could anything go wrong?"

King Rong:......

The eldest brother's mouth is like a knife, and the knife can kill people.

"Can you blame me?" King Rong glared at King Xiang angrily.

Prince Xiang immediately said with a guilty look on his face: "It's all my willfulness that has caused Brother Seventh to suffer."

Su Xinyi smiled and said nothing. Her relationship with the Li family was not very harmonious. Although Prince Xiang was the younger brother of His Royal Highness, the Li family was also his maternal family.

Yan Junchu looked at his two younger brothers with a sullen face, "The matter in Ding'anwei is not complicated. When you arrived, you should have called the parties involved for questioning first. What happened? Each idea is bigger than the other. Although it cannot be said that it is wrong to investigate the case privately, It would be wrong to put you in danger. I will truthfully report this matter to my father after I return to Beijing."

King Rong was unconvinced, "I was all implicated by King Xiang. It was obvious that he insisted on going to the riverside, and even insisted on climbing the mountain after that. Brother, you can't beat him to death with a stick. You must tell the truth when you get to the father. .”

Yan Junchu frowned and looked at King Rong, "You are brothers, so naturally you have to advance and retreat together. If your father hears this, you will be punished first."

King Rong had a sad face, so he knew that he could not go out with King Xiang, as it would be bad.

In comparison, Prince Xiang is not as good as Su Xinyi. Although accidents often happen with Su Xinyi, Su Xinyi is so powerful that he can protect him if something goes wrong, right?

The more King Rong thought about it, the more sad he became. Seeing that such a female Rakshasa like Su Xinyi was so kind-hearted, he couldn't help but said: "Su Xinyi, next time something like this happens, why don't we work together."

Su Xinyi almost spat out her tea, with King Rong?

Both of them are possessed by the God of Mold, and together they are just bad luck adding to bad luck, so please spare her.

"Your Highness, this is impossible." Su Xinyi refused flatly. She wanted to live a long life in this life.

"Why?" King Rong was unhappy, and Su Xinyi disliked him? He looked at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, listen to this and take care of her. She is going to be my sister-in-law from now on. How can she be so indifferent to my brother-in-law? I am your brother, dear."

Su Xinyi looked at King Rong in shock, how could this man be so careless and complain like this?

Why is he thicker-skinned than her?

Su Xinyi's face turned dark with anger when she saw Prince Rong's proud look. Just as she was about to speak, she heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say: "I can't control this. After all, my father has said that I should treat Miss Six well. Besides, , You are not being unreasonable in this matter. Miss Six and I are an unmarried couple, and we only have this trip because of Father’s order. If Father hears what you said before, he won’t be able to run away with a scolding.”

Su Xinyi:......

Has His Majesty ever said such a thing?

King Rong:......

Did your father ever say such a thing?

Su Xinyi looked at King Rong and suddenly she was smiling at him proudly.

Rong Wang had a dark face and wanted to punch the table. Is there any justice? He was so angry that his voice trembled, "She is so powerful, who can bully her? Besides, brother, you also said that she will be my sister-in-law from now on. My sister-in-law is like my mother, shouldn’t she share the burden for me?”

Su Xinyi listened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say: "The Queen is in good health now, so she probably won't be in a happy mood after hearing what you said."

Only when the biological mother passes away can one say that a sister-in-law is like a mother.

King Rong immediately covered his mouth, "You think I didn't say anything and didn't hear anything." Then he looked at King Xiang, "Ninth brother, right?"

King Xiang immediately said: "Seventh brother, don't worry, my brother heard everything just now."

He was just shocked by Wang Rong's temperament. He seemed a little afraid of the Lord of Yong'an County. How could this be possible?

What surprised him even more was that his eldest brother was very protective of Yong'an County Lord. Did his father say such a thing?

What happened during his absence in Beijing?

Why does it seem like the whole world has changed as soon as he comes back?

When the food was on the table, Rong Wang poured a glass of wine for his eldest brother, and said with a rare sense of guilt: "What happened this time is that my brother has worked hard for me. You are still injured. I offer you a drink to make amends."

Yan Junchu raised his eyes to look at King Rong, seeing that he did look a little guilty, and raised his glass, "Don't take it to heart, I am the eldest brother, and you are my younger brothers. If anything happens, I will naturally come to find you. But, In the future, you must remember to think carefully no matter what you do when you go out on errands."

King Rong and King Xiang responded in unison.

Su Xinyi was about to raise her glass when she saw a jade-white hand reaching out from beside her to take away her wine glass, "Don't drink alcohol tonight, just have soup instead."

Su Xinyi looked at the bowl of soup placed in front of her, and then at the serious look on the prince's face, she picked up the soup. In front of King Rong and King Xiang, she had to maintain the dignity of His Highness.

But soup?

Su Xinyi heard King Rong laughing, and her face turned dark.

Yan Junchu glanced at King Rong sideways, and King Rong immediately stopped laughing. Who told him to hinder the prince from recovering from his injuries this time? Alas, he was humble and short of breath, so he had to bow his head.

Prince Xiang picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes moving inadvertently on several people.

"Brother, do you think what Wang Shao said is true or is Wang Daoji true?" King Rong started talking about business.

Yan Junchu picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish for Su Xinyi and put it on the plate. "Try it. The soup here has a very special taste."

Su Xinyi picked up the plate, took it, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yan Junchu put down his serving chopsticks and then looked at King Rong and King Xiang. He turned a blind eye to their shocked eyes and asked, "Do you think it is true or not?"

King Rong retracted his shock, "It's amazing, Su Xinyi, this is really going to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, and his elder brother hasn't even picked up food for him!"

But he was not jealous. He took back his wandering thoughts and thought seriously instead of speaking first.

After being shocked for a few times, King Xiang looked at the prince in surprise. Are they discussing official business at the dinner table? In front of Yongan County Lord?

Is this...appropriate?

King Rong thought for a while and said, "I think what Wang Daoji said is true. This man's life is too pitiful."

Su Xinyi didn't know what happened yet, but when he heard what King Rong said, he raised his head with a confused look.

When King Rong saw it, he didn't think much and just explained a few words to her, "You were not here today and didn't hear Wang Daoji's words. It's so miserable. He lost his father, his mother, his wife, and even himself." My life was almost lost several times."

Su Xinyi only learned about Wang Daoji after listening to King Rong's story. Wang Daoji said that after his father Wang Zhifang died in battle, his cousin Wang Daoxin took away his father's official position on the grounds that he was too young to take over the position of commander. It was originally agreed that Wang Daoxin would return his official position to Wang Daoji when he came of age.

As a result, what awaited him when he came of age was not that his official position would be returned, but that his fiancée Luo Shi would cancel the engagement with him and marry Wang Daoxin instead. His mother was so angry that she came to the house to argue, but was ridiculed by the Luo family. On the way back, she was almost injured by a frightened horse. She was afraid, angry and felt that she was incompetent, so she fell ill in a fit of anger, and died soon after.

After Wang Daoji's mother died, brothers Wang Daoxin and Wang Daoli no longer had any worries and never mentioned the return of their official positions. In the following year, Wang Daoji encountered danger several times and almost died.

Once or twice was a coincidence, but once more, Wang Daoji knew someone was going to kill him.

He then secretly investigated and found that there was something fishy about his mother's death. First of all, the appearance of Jingma was too coincidental, and secondly, there was something wrong with the prescription prescribed by the doctor who treated his mother.

Wang Daoji had been investigating secretly. When he found out that there was something wrong with his father's death, he felt that the sky was about to collapse.

For a position as a commander, his family was ruined.

In order to take revenge, he sold all the property left to him by his mother, spent huge sums of money to bribe the people around Wang Daoxin, and secretly killed him when he went out to suppress bandits.

As soon as Wang Daoxin died, Wang Daoli suspected the cause of his brother's death. However, at that time, Wang Daoji was already a dandy who had sold off his property and became addicted to gambling. The death might really be an accident, so I didn’t investigate further.

Wang Daoxin died, and Wang Daoji became a playboy addicted to gambling. So Wang Daoli took over the position of commander himself on the grounds that Wang Daoji's bow and horse were neglected and unfit for the position of commander.

Wang Daoji said that he knew that unless Wang Daoli died, he would never be able to get ahead. If he didn't pretend to be a playboy or a gambler, he wouldn't even be able to save his life.

Later, he lived so hard that he even believed that he was a rogue gambler. Finally, he got the chance. Wang Daoli fell in love with an actor and liked him very much. He insisted on taking her into his concubine and made a big show of it. The banquet gave her face. I don’t know what Wang Daoli was thinking, but she actually sent a message to Wang Daoji.

Wang Daoji knew that the opportunity was rare, so he deliberately dressed himself up as a respectable poor relative who was fighting in the autumn wind.

Wang Shao hated Wang Daoji so much that he was not allowed to appear at the banquet. He rushed him to the kitchen and asked the kitchen steward to throw him some leftovers. He also ordered the kitchen people to drive him away after he finished eating.

Wang Daoji said that he didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not. He only focused on the deer penis soup cooked for Wang Daoli on the stove. After Wang Shao left, he pretended to be unsteady and fell down, causing the dishes and bowls to break. On the ground, while the people in the kitchen were busy cleaning up, he took the opportunity to poison it.

Because of this fall, he, a dignified young master of the Wang family, was beaten up by the servants in the kitchen.

But it's worth it.

Wang Daoli is dead.

Su Xinyi didn't come back to her senses for a long time after hearing this. Is this even worse than her?

If it is true, his biological father and mother were killed, his fiancée was also snatched away, and even his life was pretending to be self-destructive. It is indeed not easy.

"Is what Wang Daoji said true?" Su Xinyi asked thoughtfully, "Why did he explain everything without leaving a way out for himself?"

The murder was clearly explained, which basically involved oneself.

"Hey." King Rong rarely spoke with a hint of indignation, "It's not easy for him to snatch the position of commander from Wang Shao. His close relatives and family members are all dead, and the clansmen are definitely more inclined to support having soldiers. Wang Shao, who was protected by Quan, was left with nothing but jackals, tigers and leopards. According to Wang Daoji himself, he did not want to live anymore, but he wanted to seek justice for his father and mother."

Su Xinyi lowered her eyes slightly, she could understand this feeling.

King Rong did not notice Su Xinyi's strangeness, and turned to look at the prince, "Brother, you said that Wang Daoji's explanation was so clear, it must not be false. The problem now is to verify the cause of death of Wang Zhifang and his wife. Although Wang Daoji has evidence , but the evidence is not enough to close the case, which is a bit difficult.”

Yan Junchu did not ignore Su Xinyi's strangeness. After listening to King Rong's words, he thought for a moment and then said: "The evidence for Wang Daoji was incomplete at the beginning because he was not confident enough to investigate the cronies around brother Wang Daoxin and Wang Daoli. Now as long as we thoroughly investigate the people who have done things with these two, we should find something."

At this time, King Xiang, who had been silent, said: "Brother, after so many years, even if there are witnesses, it is difficult to collect physical evidence. Besides, the position of the Wang family's commander must be discussed again."

After such a scandal, the Wang family will definitely not be able to keep their official positions.

I can't come to a conclusion at the moment, I still need to get evidence.

After dinner, Yan Junchu sent Su Xinyi back to the backyard. The two stepped onto the veranda. Yan Junchu waved the person away and looked at Su Xinyi holding her hand, "I have something to tell you."
