The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 548: The Chu Palace is in Danger

Now, on the other side.

Xiao Yue waited outside Concubine Cheng's palace and saw Xiao Yi preparing to leave the palace, and hurried forward to stop him.

"Did you do it?"

Facing Xiao Yue's unreasonable questioning, Xiao Yi kept smiling, with a hint of amusement between his slightly raised eyebrows.

"What do you mean by imperial sister?"

"Stop pretending. It was you who pushed Chu Jingyue down!"

She didn't arrange anyone to attack Chu Jingyue. After all, the other party was a princess, and other people shouldn't be so brave. After thinking about it, the most likely person was Xiao Yi.

After all, it was he who instigated me to hold the snow-viewing banquet, and it was also he who instigated me to use the banquet to cause trouble for Jiang Suining and teach her a lesson.

Xiao Yi smiled calmly, "Yes, it's me."

"Are you crazy?" Xiao Yue said sharply, "Didn't we agree before that Chu Jingyue was just a cover? She's pregnant. If Jiang Suining hadn't reacted quickly, the situation today would be unimaginable."

Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly, not taking Xiao Yue's anger seriously at all, "Doesn't your sister also hope that there will be trouble at the banquet so that Jiang Suining can be held responsible? I am just helping you, brother, why are you so angry?"

"Then I have never thought of taking action against Chu Jingyue and the baby in her belly!"

Although she wanted to teach Jiang Suining a lesson, she never thought of making such a big deal out of it. She had heard that although Hua Jin could not eat peanuts, even if he accidentally ate them it would not be too serious and he could just seek treatment from the imperial physician. But if Chu Jingyue really bumped into him today, there might be two deaths!

When this thought came to mind, Xiao Yue trembled again and his expression became even uglier.

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yue's expression and sneered, "Why should my sister be so scared? Nothing is wrong now. Jiang Suining reacted quickly and would rather get hurt to protect Chu Jingyue. Our plan has failed."

"You should be thankful that our plan failed, otherwise how would things end! And now it's not like nothing happened. The Queen has already sent people to investigate. If she finds out that it was us, no, it was obviously you who acted on your own and I had no idea about it at all. But if they find out, I might be implicated!" Xiao Yue was so angry.

"Don't worry, the people I arranged are very careful, and the situation was chaotic at the time, so nothing can be found out about this matter."

"What if? What if they find out? After all, Chu Jingyue was born in the Chu Palace. By then..."

"I'm afraid the Prince of Chu's Mansion can't even protect itself now." Xiao Yi interrupted Xiao Yue with a cold smile in his tone.

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Yi smiled at Xiao Yue and said, "It means that the Chu Palace may be about to fall, but the news has been well concealed and has not been revealed yet. Chu Jingyue thought she still had someone to rely on, so she went to court to get to the bottom of this matter. But once something happens to the Chu Palace, what will she, a married princess, mean to her?"

After all, the truth in this world is closely related to the power in one's hands.

Just like the incident in Songjiang Prefecture back then, if Jiang Suining had not made a name for herself in this imperial city, and had not had the help of Shen Yanxi, how could she have been able to overturn the verdict.

In order to pave the way for his own son-in-law, Prince Chu has been making friends with various court officials since Chu Jingyue got married. As a result, he was involved in forming a faction, and has been suspected by his father, the emperor, who is now secretly sending out the Yuwei to collect evidence.

The Yuwei is the most secretive organization under the command of every generation of Beiyang emperors, and they only obey the emperor's orders. Although they have rarely been used since my father ascended the throne, every time the Yuwei is sent out, the people who are investigated are either exiled or executed.

He believed that Prince Chu's hands would not be completely clean over the years. Although the Queen has agreed to Chu Jingyue's investigation of the truth, once something happened in Prince Chu's Mansion, no one would wade into this muddy water, and it would end up in nothing.

Xiao Yi smiled and came back to his senses. Facing Xiao Yue's doubts, he did not explain anything, but just said.

"Royal sister, you can rest assured. This matter has nothing to do with you. Instead of blocking the way here, you might as well think about this. Jiang Suining not only did not take the blame this time, but instead became Princess Chu's savior. I'm afraid he will be praised even more in the future. Maybe... he is laughing at your failed plan in his heart right now."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yue's face which became gloomy again, then he withdrew his gaze from her side with satisfaction.

Only Xiao Yue was left standing there, clenching her teeth with frustration and irritation.

……

In the room, Jiang Suining had already sat up with a cushion on her waist. After listening to what Shen Yanxi said, she frowned in worry.

"Does Prince Chu know that he is being investigated by the Feather Guards?"

Shen Yanxi shook his head. "The Yuwei have always been secretive in their actions. Before the results of the investigation are out, the people being investigated rarely notice it. Apart from me and the Fourth Prince, no one else should know about this matter."

"Does Prince Chu really form a clique for personal gain?"

"Whether he did or not, he was involved with those court officials, so it's hard to tell. Although the emperor is not a suspicious monarch, many times, once suspicion arises, the accusation is established."

Once suspicion is aroused, the crime is established.

Hearing this, Jiang Suining felt heavy-hearted and a little suffocated.

She had no idea what happened in her previous life, and she knew even less about the news about Prince Chu's Palace. She only learned from the female relatives that Chu Jingyue's marriage was unhappy and she had trusted the wrong person.

In this life, she became friends with Jingyue. She didn't want to watch him step into the fire pit, so she tried to ruin the marriage. She thought that Jingyue and Wei Congze's marriage was not going to work out and everything had changed, but she didn't expect that the Chu Palace would face disaster now.

Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining, who was frowning and deep in thought, and placed his warm palm on the back of her hand.

"Ningning, I know you have a good relationship with Princess Chu, but this matter involves a lot of things, and it is definitely not something you and I can change."

After all, it was the imperial guards who took action, which showed that the emperor was ruthless this time. If Prince Chu really did something wrong and was found out, not to mention that he was a king of a different surname, even if he was the emperor's own brother, I'm afraid he might not be safe.

When you get involved in it, not only will you be unable to do anything, but you may get into trouble instead.

"I understand what you mean, but Jingyue's side..."

Jiang Suining pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.

Shen Yanxi looked at her, and finally softened his heart, and whispered: "I will find a way to remind Prince Chu, but the guards have already started, I am afraid it may not be in time, just think of it as our best efforts."

Jiang Suining raised his head and looked at Shen Yanxi, "You just said that the Fourth Prince also knew about this?"

"Yes." Shen Yanxi nodded.

Jiang Suining took a deep breath, and finally reason prevailed, "Then we can't remind him. After all, maybe the Fourth Prince is waiting to use this incident to gain leverage."

Especially at times like this, we must not leave any trouble behind.
