Song Yixiao instantly invited her into the room and ordered her maids to withdraw after serving tea. Then she told her the whole story, “I don’t want to hide the truth. My mother-in-law intended to marry off Yourui to Helou Xiuzhuan (Helou Duhan) in the past. However, it is less than a year after Grand Secretariat Pei passed away. Yourui is so broken-hearted that she doesn’t want to talk about her marriage. Hence, Xubai and I have been in contact with Helou Xiuzhuan several times and know his temperament. He may not be to Princess Yushan’s liking. We want to tell the Virtuous Consort about this originally. The problem is that we don’t have much contact with her, so it will be brusque for us to say this hastily. That’s why I decide to write to you.”
Jiang Muting pondered, “In this way, not only Yushan keeps thinking about Su Shaoge, but Helou Xiuzhuan doesn’t like Yushan either.”
Of course, she understood that the so-called “not be to Princess Yushan’s liking” meant “give Princess Yushan a wide berth”.
“In short, it’s hard to see these two get along well at the moment,” Song Yi smiled euphemistically, “We are not qualified to say this. While recently Princess Changxing has changed a lot, and that makes people feel… That’s why I took the liberty to tell you.”
“Even if she is a daughter of the emperor, her marriage cannot be decided causally,” Jiang Muting shook her head and said, “If my aunt knows your consideration, she must be grateful but not resentful. I can guarantee that for you.”
After expressing her thanks, she inquired about what happened in Cuihua Mountain recently. When she heard that Shen Qimo was found pregnant at the banquet for Jian Yiyou’s birthday, which led to the unhappy end of the banquet, she sighed, “No wonder you say that Princess Changxing has changed her temperament. It’s really unexpected that she swallowed the insult and humiliation silently when she was disgraced to this extent. It’s a good thing that Yourui doesn’t marry Jian Yiyou! Otherwise, even if Jinguo Grand Princess is rational, Yourui may not live a happy life.”
Song Yixiao was about to speak when Jinxun hurried to walk in and reported urgently, “Your Highness, His Highness is injured!”
“Injured?” Hearing this, Song Yixiao was hit by a shock, and stood up instantly, “Why did he get injured? Where is he now? Is it serious? “
Jinxun answered frightenedly, “I don’t know. House Steward Ji comes to the back yard to find Aunt Yun to treat His Highness and let me tell you this!”
When Jiang Muting heard this, she took her leave immediately. Song Yixiao was in no mood to detain her, so she made an apology and asked Jinxun to send her away. She rushed to find Jian Xubai, only to see him sitting in the hall with his blouse unbuttoned. He was exposing his left arm for Aunt Yun to bandage.
Seeing that his wife walked in with a grave look, he comforted her and said, “Nothing serious. It’s all right if I keep my wound away from water these days.”
He remained calmed, and Aunt Yun also maintained her equilibrium. She thought his injury may not be serious, so she heaved a sigh of relief and then walked to his side. When Aunt Yun put away her medical kit and withdrew after tying a knot with a white handkerchief, she frowned and asked, “What happened?”
“I was scratched by a mountain tiger,” Jian Xubai pushed the empty tea bowl towards her, motioning her to fill it. He continued after a moment of silence, “I just went to the Crown Prince’s palace to discuss political affairs. Because of the hot weather, we went to the garden to talk. There are some wild animals and rare birds in the Crown Prince’s garden. A mountain tiger was also sent there two days ago. Somehow its cage is not closed, and it ran out and encountered Commandery Prince Zhongling! Fortunately, the Crown Prince arrived in time to save him. Cousin Xishi and I were not familiar with the road, and thus we came there a little late. We fought against the tiger for the Crown Prince for a while, so we got hurt.”
Speaking of this, he frowned and said, “Cousin Xishi and I just got superficial wound. While the Crown Prince suffered a cruel attack from the beast in order to protect Commandery Prince Zhongling, and vomited blood on the spot! I don’t know how he feels now.”
Hearing this, Song Yixiao turned pale, “That’s quite a coincidence, isn’t it?”
“You are right!” Jian Xubai said with a sneer, “If other beasts run out, they will not be so ferocious even if they meet Commandery Prince. However, the mountain tiger is captured within a few days and hasn’t been tamed, so it hurt people fiercely!”
He took a sip from his tea bowl, “We are not sure whether it’s a plot or an accident at present. But it’s really suspicious considering the whole process!”
“Is it done by Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao?” Song Yixiao said, “The emperor is still alive. Even if they succeed, aren’t they afraid of the emperor’s rage? After all, apart from the Crown Prince, Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao, the sons of the emperor also include Prince of Liang and Prince of Shu!”
It’s not to say that as long as the Crown Prince was killed, Emperor Xianjia would only choose the heir between Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao. Besides, the two princes were not in a bad situation at present, so they didn’t need to take risks at all.
“The Eastern Palace has been thoroughly investigating the matter.” Although Jian Xubai only suffered from superficial injuries, he fought against an adult tiger with his bare hands and lost a lot of blood. When he finished his words, he looked quite fatigue and said, “I want to take a break. If people in the Yamen come to conduct their duties, you can ask them to find Xuepei first.”
Song Yixiao sent him back to his room for rest first. After that, she asked Aunt Yun about his injury in detail, and ordered the kitchen to stew tonic for him. She remembered that she hadn’t told her mother-in-law this matter yet, so she arranged people to inform Jinguo Grand Princess and Commandery Princess Qingjiang separately!
After a long time, Jinguo Grand Princess hurried over in person. She heard that Jian Xubai had already taken a break. She was afraid of disturbing her son, so she didn’t see him. She only brought Song Yixiao outside the room and asked her the details. At last, she couldn’t help but shed tears and said, “Why are there so many accidents during the summer vacation this year? Two days ago, Yiyou was hurt by the bastard Yushan, and he still could not go out with his head wrapped up. Now Xubai also had an accident!”
Song Yixiao quickly comforted, “Fortunately, it’s only skin trauma. The wound will be healed if he convalesces for a few days. Please don’t worry!”
“The Crown Prince has kept ferocious beasts like tigers and leopards in the garden for a long time. There is no accident before. How can the cage be forgotten to close this time?” Jinguo Grand Princess felt sorry for her son and then realized that today’s accident was unusual. She said, “Who is investigating this matter now? I’m not going to let it be if the truth is not revealed!”
Seeing that Song Yixiao didn’t answer her question, she didn’t blame her, and just said, “Take good care of Xubai. I’ll inquire about this matter in person. I’ll see who dares to fob me off!”
During their communication, many people came to visit Jian Xubai when they received the news. Seeing this, Jinguo Grand Princess sat down again. When she saw Jian Xubai was still asleep, she gave the order that until her son was completely recovered, his situation would be reported to her every day. Then she left.
After seeing off her mother-in-law, Song Yixiao gathered her strength to greet the guests. She didn’t expect that she would get another bad news: “The Crown Prince has suffered serious internal injuries. The imperial doctor said that he needed to have a rest for a few days. And he probably can’t handle political affairs before the end of the summer vacation.”
In the past, Emperor Xianjia’s health was poor and he needed to rest, so he let the Crown Prince act as regent, who was assisted by other princes. Now the Crown Prince also needed to nurse his body. People doubted who would be responsible for the affairs of the country?
What’s more, the date of recuperation mentioned by the imperial doctor was only an estimation. What if the Crown Prince was not recovered at that time? What if he suffered from chronic disease?
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in Cuihua Mountain, and various kinds of rumors were even more turbulent. The most terrible thing was that a few days later, under the supervision of Jinguo Grand Princess, the truth of the matter was found out, which gave the Eastern Palace a death blow!
The tiger was indeed released on purpose!
The problem was that the person who let it out had nothing to do with Prince of Wei, Prince of Zhao, or any people who were Crown Prince’s enemies!
On the contrary, it was related to the Crown Prince himself!
“The bodyguard in the Eastern Palace recommended by Noble Consort Cui?” Song Yixiao found the truth hard to believe, “How can the Noble Consort do harm to her offspring?”
The face of Jinguo Grand Princess was deathly pale, “Of course, it’s impossible for the Noble Consort to do harm to the Crown Prince and Zhongling. It’s all the fault of Cui Jianlian. I shouldn’t allow Cui Jianlian to serve the Crown Prince at the beginning if I know that the Cui family doesn’t know how to teach her. Apart from two grandchildren of the emperor, she almost led the Crown Prince, Zhongling, Xubai and Xishi to death this time!”
Song Yixiao was startled and said, “Cui Jianlian?! Isn’t she dead?”
“That bodyguard Ji Xin was originally the imperial guard of the Xifu Palace. A few years ago, the Eastern Palace suffered loss by theft. During the thorough investigation, the Crown Princess cleaned up many mediocre people, so there were many vacancies for bodyguards in the Eastern Palace. The Noble Consort appreciated his outstanding martial arts and recommended him to the Crown Prince,” Jinguo Grand Princess sneered and said, “Cui Jianlian has won the heart of Noble Consort since she was young. She was often brought to the Xifu Palace to please the Noble Consort, and thus Ji Xin had met her for several times. The guard is so bold that he has an improper desire for Cui Jianlian…”
Therefore, after Cui Jianlian became Side Concubine of the Crown Prince, Ji Xin was quite concerned about her.
Of course, there was nothing between the two people. Cui Jianlian might not know she had such an admirer until she died.
After Cui Jianlian’s death, Ji Xin was devastated. He didn’t know the ins and outs, and believed the rumors that Cui Jianlian was murdered by the Crown Princess out of jealousy because she was pregnant with twins and received favor from the Crown Prince!
“He hated the Crown Princess to death! But how noble the Crown Princess is. How can a bodyguard get close to her? “ Jinguo Grand Princess gnashed her teeth in anger and said, “The man thought twice, but he couldn’t do anything. And finally, he made a plot for Zhongling! Two days ago, the wild tiger was brought in the Crown Prince’s garden. After that, he planned to use it to achieve his goal. He noticed that Zhongling was strolling about in the garden alone, so he opened the cage and led the tiger to Zhongling. Fortunately, the Crown Prince just invited Xubai and Xishi to talk in the garden. When he heard the roar of the tiger and the cry of Zhongling, he rushed there in time!”
Jinguo Grand Princess became angrier as she said. She could not help raising her hand to smash a decoration vase on the desk to the ground, “The child was only followed by two servants of his age. No matter how loyal the two little eunuchs were, they couldn’t protect him.”
After hearing this, Song Yixiao hesitated to ask for punishment?
Her mother-in-law didn’t blame her. However, if she hadn’t worked out the scheme to kill Cui Jianlian, Ji Xin, who secretly fell in love with Side Concubine of the Crown Prince, might not have hurt Commandery Prince Zhongling.
Just as she was thinking about how to make an apology, Jinguo Grand Princess said, “I originally thought it had something to do with the fight for the throne. It turns out that it is because of the stupidity of Ji Xin. Unfortunately, he was sent to the Crown Prince by the Noble Consort, and the reason why he murdered Zhongling was related to the deposed Side Concubine Cui! Now the Crown Prince will be in trouble!”
Exactly.
When Cui Jianlian just passed away Qiu Shuxia took her as an excuse and asked to abolish the Crown Prince at court.
At that time, Emperor Xianjia was still sitting on the throne to govern the nation, and he blocked the impeachments against the Crown Prince circuitously.
Now Ji Xin’s words of “take revenge for the Side Concubine” gave Qiu Shuxia a reason to bring up the old story again. The problem was that Emperor Xianjia was having a rest-cure, and the Crown Prince who was appointed as regent also needed a good rest. What to do now?

Song Yixiao instantly invited her into the room and ordered her maids to withdraw after serving tea. Then she told her the whole story, “I don’t want to hide the truth.

Jiang Muting pondered, “In this way, not only Yushan keeps thinking about Su Shaoge, but Helou Xiuzhuan doesn’t like Yushan either.”

When she heard that Shen Qimo was found pregnant at the banquet for Jian Yiyou’s birthday, which led to the unhappy end of the banquet, she sighed, “No wonder you say that Princess Changxing has changed her temperament. It’s really unexpected that she swallowed the insult and humiliation silently when she was disgraced to this extent. It’s a good thing that Yourui doesn’t marry Jian Yiyou! Otherwise, even if Jinguo Grand Princess is rational, Yourui may not live a happy life.”

When Jiang Muting heard this, she took her leave immediately. Song Yixiao was in no mood to detain her, so she made an apology and asked Jinxun to send her away. She rushed to find Jian Xubai, only to see him sitting in the hall with his blouse unbuttoned. He was exposing his left arm for Aunt Yun to bandage.
Seeing that his wife walked in with a grave look, he comforted her and said, “Nothing serious. It’s all right if I keep my wound away from water these days.”
He remained calmed, and Aunt Yun also maintained her equilibrium. She thought his injury may not be serious, so she heaved a sigh of relief and then walked to his side.

Then she left.After seeing off her mother-in-law, Song Yixiao gathered her strength to greet the guests. She didn't expect that she would get another bad news: The Crown Prince has suffered serious internal injuries. The imperial doctor said that he needed to have a rest for a few days. And he probably can't handle political affairs before the end of the summer vacation.In the past, Emperor Xianjia's health was poor and he needed to rest, so he let the Crown Prince act as regent, who was assisted by other princes. Now the Crown Prince also needed to nurse his body. People doubted who would be responsible for the affairs of the country?What's more, the date of recuperation mentioned by the imperial doctor was only an estimation. What if the Crown Prince was not recovered at that time? What if he suffered from chronic disease?For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in Cuihua Mountain, and various kinds of rumors were even more turbulent. The most terrible thing was that a few days later, under the supervision of Jinguo Grand Princess, the truth of the matter was found out, which gave the Eastern Palace a death blow!The tiger was indeed released on purpose!The problem was that the person who let it out had nothing to do with Prince of Wei, Prince of Zhao, or any people who were Crown Prince's enemies!On the contrary, it was related to the Crown Prince himself!The bodyguard in the Eastern Palace recommended by Noble Consort Cui? Song Yixiao found the truth hard to believe, How can the Noble Consort do harm to her offspring?The face of Jinguo Grand Princess was deathly pale, Of course, it's impossible for the Noble Consort to do harm to the Crown Prince and Zhongling. It's all the fault of Cui Jianlian. I shouldn't allow Cui Jianlian to serve the Crown Prince at the beginning if I know that the Cui family doesn't know how to teach her. Apart from two grandchildren of the emperor, she almost led the Crown Prince, Zhongling, Xubai and Xishi to death this time!Song Yixiao was startled and said, Cui Jianlian?! Isn't she dead?That bodyguard Ji Xin was originally the imperial guard of the Xifu Palace. A few years ago, the Eastern Palace suffered loss by theft. During the thorough investigation, the Crown Princess cleaned up many mediocre people, so there were many vacancies for bodyguards in the Eastern Palace. The Noble Consort appreciated his outstanding martial arts and recommended him to the Crown Prince, Jinguo Grand Princess sneered and said, Cui Jianlian has won the heart of Noble Consort since she was young. She was often brought to the Xifu Palace to please the Noble Consort, and thus Ji Xin had met her for several times. The guard is so bold that he has an improper desire for Cui JianlianTherefore, after Cui Jianlian became Side Concubine of the Crown Prince, Ji Xin was quite concerned about her.Of course, there was nothing between the two people. Cui Jianlian might not know she had such an admirer until she died.After Cui Jianlian's death, Ji Xin was devastated. He didn't know the ins and outs, and believed the rumors that Cui Jianlian was murdered by the Crown Princess out of jealousy because she was pregnant with twins and received favor from the Crown Prince!He hated the Crown Princess to death! But how noble the Crown Princess is. How can a bodyguard get close to her? Jinguo Grand Princess gnashed her teeth in anger and said, The man thought twice, but he couldn't do anything. And finally, he made a plot for Zhongling! Two days ago, the wild tiger was brought in the Crown Prince's garden. After that, he planned to use it to achieve his goal. He noticed that Zhongling was strolling about in the garden alone, so he opened the cage and led the tiger to Zhongling. Fortunately, the Crown Prince just invited Xubai and Xishi to talk in the garden. When he heard the roar of the tiger and the cry of Zhongling, he rushed there in time!Jinguo Grand Princess became angrier as she said. She could not help raising her hand to smash a decoration vase on the desk to the ground, The child was only followed by two servants of his age. No matter how loyal the two little eunuchs were, they couldn't protect him.After hearing this, Song Yixiao hesitated to ask for punishment?Her mother-in-law didn't blame her. However, if she hadn't worked out the scheme to kill Cui Jianlian, Ji Xin, who secretly fell in love with Side Concubine of the Crown Prince, might not have hurt Commandery Prince Zhongling.Just as she was thinking about how to make an apology, Jinguo Grand Princess said, I originally thought it had something to do with the fight for the throne. It turns out that it is because of the stupidity of Ji Xin. Unfortunately, he was sent to the Crown Prince by the Noble Consort, and the reason why he murdered Zhongling was related to the deposed Side Concubine Cui! Now the Crown Prince will be in trouble!Exactly.When Cui Jianlian just passed away Qiu Shuxia took her as an excuse and asked to abolish the Crown Prince at court.At that time, Emperor Xianjia was still sitting on the throne to govern the nation, and he blocked the impeachments against the Crown Prince circuitously.Now Ji Xin's words of take revenge for the Side Concubine gave Qiu Shuxia a reason to bring up the old story again. The problem was that Emperor Xianjia was having a rest-cure, and the Crown Prince who was appointed as regent also needed a good rest. What to do now?
