Song Jiuxi suddenly looked at Yan Shubai. Jin Yiwei wanted to take Xu Xu. Why didn't Yan Shubai agree?
Song Jiuxi thought about it and asked.
Yan Shubai said: "Why should I take advantage of the people I arrested? Their Jinyiwei are not capable of arresting people, so don't even think about taking advantage of them."
"No." Song Jiuxi said, "We bumped into Su Mingxuan when we left the city that day. He was running out of the city with a team of royal guards. If they were trying to catch Xu Xu, they couldn't have been slower than you.
"
As Song Jiuxi spoke, the ideas in her mind became clearer and clearer.
"Su Mingxuan must have gone to Yongping Mansion, but he didn't catch Xu Xu. If he came back to catch Xu Xu, you would have beaten him to it." Song Jiuxi paused, "Why did Su Mingxuan catch Xu Xu? For
To quell the rebellion and capture the rebel leader? Or to redress Xu Xu’s grievances?"
Because once Xu Xu is redressed, King Duan will be in trouble.
The Xiao family and Prince Duan are one. Once such a big scandal occurs in the Xiao family, it will not only involve Princess Yongjia, but also the most taboo traitor party of the emperor. The Xiao family did such a thing in Yongping Mansion.
The Holy One will never let it go, and will definitely involve the family in the capital.
By then King Duan will lose the support of the Xiao family, and his power will be greatly reduced.
But if that's the case, it seems like Su Mingxuan is working for the prince.
Because after this, the prince will definitely benefit.
Yan Shubai suddenly asked: "Madam, do you know how these two thousand bandits came all the way from Yongping Mansion to the capital?"
Song Jiuxi: "Is someone letting me go?"
"Well, the Taiping Mansion has been tied to the Xiao family. They definitely don't want Xu Xu to appear in front of everyone. But someone is protecting Xu Xu from behind and letting him walk all the way to the emperor's feet."
Song Jiuxi was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "It's the prince! Are the people from the army hidden among the bandits also the prince's?"
Yan Shubai winked at her and said with a smile: "Madam, guess who is the most worried about the two thousand bandits my husband has captured?"
Song Jiuxi smiled, of course the most anxious person was the prince.
From the time Xu Xu set off from Yongping Mansion, the prince probably had already made plans to expose what the Xiao family did in Yongping Mansion to everyone when Xu Xu arrived in the capital.
Even if the Holy Emperor wanted to protect the Xiao family and King Duan, he would not dare to offend the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the controversial people.
But Song Jiuxi didn't expect that Chang Shenhui, the Duke of Chang State, who came from a Qingliu family and never participated in party struggles, would actually work for the prince?
Or is it that the entire Duke Chang's Palace is in Zhao Hongjun's camp?
Song Jiuxi asked: "Is it because of the prince that Chang Shenhui wants to surrender without fighting?"
Yan Shubai said lightly: "For his own reputation, the Chang family has been away from officialdom for a long time, but Chang Shenhui is an ambitious man. He is not willing to just be a clean figure."
Song Jiuxi asked: "Is it because of the prince that Chang Shenhui wants to surrender without fighting?"
Yan Shubai said lightly: "For his own reputation, the Chang family has been away from officialdom for a long time, but Chang Shenhui is an ambitious man. He is not willing to just be a clean figure."
The Chang family never entered the officialdom or took the imperial examination, so Chang Shenhui found another way.
Once he really subdued two thousand bandits through literary talk, he became famous in the capital. The prince probably also wanted to promote him into officialdom and took this opportunity.
It can be said to be a plan that kills three birds with one stone.
Once this matter was completed, it not only weakened Prince Duan, but also pushed Chang Shenhui into the officialdom. Moreover, relying on Chang Shenhui's life-saving grace, the prince also pulled the eldest princess's palace into his own camp.
Song Jiuxi's eyes darkened when he thought of this.
Song Jiuxi became more and more aware that it was not easy to overthrow Zhao Hongjun, even King Duan fell into his trap.
Song Jiuxi sighed, now she still lacks strength and can only lie dormant slowly.
At this time, Song Jiuxi suddenly looked at Yan Shubai, her eyes rolled, and asked: "Yan Shubai, how do you know so much?"
They just caught these people yesterday, can Yan Shubai figure out the details today?
Yan Shubai said with a smile: "My wife, call me "husband" and come listen, and I will tell you."
Luo Feng hurriedly looked away and suddenly met Fang Long's eyes. Both of them looked a little embarrassed.
Fang Long's eyes indicated: Let's go?
Luo Feng shook his head. How could the master leave without an order?
Fang Long rolled his eyes: I have no eyesight.
Just when Fang Long was about to slip away, Song Jiuxi snorted coldly, turned around and left, ignoring Yan Shubai.
Fang Long hurriedly followed, leaving Luo Feng looking at his master who was dumped and still smiling happily.
Song Jiuxi returned to the inner courtyard room and saw Song Ruoyu wandering in front of her room.
Song Jiuxi walked up and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Sister!" Song Ruoyu ran over immediately when she saw Song Jiuxi. When she was almost in front of Song Jiuxi, she hurriedly stopped again.
He looked at Song Jiuxi's face and then looked at her shoulder, looking hesitant, as if he had something to say.
Song Jiuxi frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Song Ruoyu hurriedly asked: "Sister, does your shoulder still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Song Jiuxi said.
"How could it not hurt? It was such a serious injury and there was so much blood. It would hurt me to death."
"That's you." Song Jiuxi said.
Song Ruoyu stopped talking and looked at Song Jiuxi with resentful eyes. Song Jiuxi was puzzled and said, "I was injured, not you. If you have such leisure, you might as well read more books."
"Sister! You, you... forget it." Song Ruoyu felt that she was feeding the dog with all her worries, and Song Jiuxi didn't need him to worry at all.
Song Ruoyu suddenly threw an ointment into Song Jiuxi's hand, turned around and ran away.
"What happened to him?" Song Jiuxi wondered.
Fang Long said incomprehensibly from behind: "Master, the young master is worried about you."
Song Jiuxi finds it strange, will Song Ruoyu worry about her?
Fang Long looked at Song Jiuxi and felt that his master seemed very smart in other things, but he was so slow only in emotions.
Thinking of Yan Shubai constantly flirting with her master every day, but his master didn't respond at all. At this time, she had the same idea as Aunt Qing, which was to pray for Yan Shubai.
Song Jiuxi thought about it and went to visit Yongjia. After Doctor Luo came, he looked at all the injuries on their bodies.
Among them, Yongjia's injuries were the least serious. Shen Changshu's leg was broken and he couldn't move for a month or two.
At this moment, Song Jiuxi came, and Yongjia was full of things to say. "Jiuxi, you are here just in time. Is this Shen Changshu out of his mind? His legs are so injured, and he has to go back to the Hanlin Academy. Let me see his legs."
I don’t want it anymore.”
Yongjia's forehead was filled with anger. If Shen Changshu hadn't saved her, she wouldn't have cared about him now.
Shen Changshu said eagerly: "Your Royal Highness, I have been ordered to compile the "History of the Liang Dynasties" and there is no room for mistakes. Please let me go back."
"History of Liang" is the history of the previous dynasties. The Hanlin Academy left the revision of the previous history to Xinke Tanhua. I guess it didn't take it seriously. But judging from Shen Changshu's attitude, it did take it seriously.
"If I don't let you go back, can you go back?" Yongjia sneered, too lazy to argue with this wooden head.
Yongjia said to several of her guards: "You guys, watch him and be sure to take good care of Lord Shen. Lord Shen has saved this princess. If there is any mistake, I will take care of you."
"yes."
In Shen Changshu's anxious eyes, Yongjia raised her chin at him proudly, and then pulled Song Jiuxi out of Shen Changshu's house with a smile.
