Chapter 378: Everyone in Prince Ji’s Mansion looks bad!
The next day, Shen Lanxi took Sun Feng to meet the eldest prince.
"The eldest prince."
"Master Shen!"
After the two parties greeted each other, they went straight to the case.
Zhou Rulin: "Yesterday I sent someone to inquire about Princess Yuxue's fall into the water. There are many different opinions."
Shen Lanxi expressed her understanding: "It has been so long, and some things are obviously wrong, but as they are said, they become true."
Zhou Rulin coughed twice.
"If the eldest prince is not well yet, we can rest for two more days. It has been so long, and there is no rush."
Zhou Rulin waved his hand: "I'm fine. Just because Princess Yuxue's incident has gone too long and something happened to her in Xishan, we should clear her name as soon as possible."
Shen Lanxi: "The eldest prince really has a great heart for helping the world, Lan Xi feels ashamed!"
Zhou Rulin smiled modestly and said: "I'm not as good as you said. I'm just a human being, and I should do things that are worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of my heart."
Shen Lanxi once again expressed his admiration.
Zhou Rulin: "Back then, Princess Yuxue was admiring the scenery by the lake with a few noble girls. Those noble girls were Zhou Yunyuan, the concubine of Prince Ping's palace, Chen Suizhu, the cousin of the eldest princess' maternal grandfather's family, and Chen Suizhu, a cousin of the Taifu family. The concubine Chen Qianqian, the legitimate daughter of Taichang Temple Qing’s family Zhang Jingshu, and the legitimate daughter of Dr. Guanglu Chang Yu.”
Shen Lanxi did not hesitate to praise: "The eldest prince's investigation is so detailed, it really puts me to shame!"
The eldest prince looked elegant and said: "These are all matters within my duties. I have nothing to do in the capital, so I asked about it in advance."
Shen Lanxi: "When Yun Xue's accident happened, I was already on the way to Dongchuan, so I didn't know anything about what happened in the capital. It's been so long now, things are man-made, and those people you were familiar with are also It has become a stranger.”
The eldest prince seemed to be aroused by something sad, and said with emotion: "I have left the capital since I was a child, and I only come back every year to offer incense on my mother's birthday, and then leave very quickly. Compared with the capital, I feel that The fief is more like my home.”
Shen Lanxi was immersed in her emotions and obeyed: "What the eldest prince means is that we should check on these women first?"
Zhou Rulin shook his head and thought clearly: "These women have already been married. Among them, Dr. Guanglu's daughter died due to dystocia two years ago. Zhang Jingshu and Chen Qianqian married far away. Only Zhou Yunyuan and Chen Suizhu are left in the capital. The two knew the inside story.”
Shen Lanxi's eyes moved and she said truthfully: "What a coincidence, these two people have issues with me!"
The eldest prince said guiltily: "I heard that my wife, Cao, has many things I can't do to you. I am here to apologize for her missing you."
Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Are you talking about the flower viewing banquet held at the eldest princess's house?"
Zhou Rulin nodded: "I have severely punished Mrs. Cao. She will be confined at home recently. After we find out the case, I will take her to the door to plead guilty."
Shen Lanxi hurriedly pushed back: "It's just a quarrel between ordinary women. How can I let the eldest princess plead guilty to me? It's simply a sin, and it's embarrassing for Shen."
The eldest prince: "What you want, I have already sent someone to ask. She was the one who made the rude remarks first. Marrying her was not what I wanted, so our relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious. I will ask my father for a decree later. Let the nun in the palace teach her the rules.”
Shen Lanxi: "The eldest princess is just a little more outspoken and has a more straightforward character. There is nothing wrong with her."
Zhou Rulin: "Let's put this matter aside for now. My idea is that we start with Prince Ji's Mansion. There must have been maids who were with Princess Yuxue back then, and Princess Yuxue will definitely tell her family how she fell into the water."
Shen Lanxi: "That makes sense, let's go to Prince Ji's Mansion now!" It was a coincidence that when they arrived at Prince Ji's Mansion, they happened to meet Marquis Yong'an visiting.
Zhao Zheng still remembered the day he was humiliated by Shen Lanxi. When he saw it was her, he snorted coldly and ignored it, only greeting the eldest prince.
"This must be Marquis Yong'an Zhao Zheng. I only met him at a palace banquet last time. At that time, the etiquette was complicated and I didn't have time to get to know Marquis Yong'an." Zhou Rulin said with a smile.
Zhao Zheng exchanged greetings with the eldest prince uncomfortably. They had never spoken before. If the eldest prince hadn't suddenly returned to the capital this time, people in the capital would have forgotten about the late empress's legitimate son.
"I can remember the eldest prince Long Zhang Fengzi, which really makes me a little bit at a loss." Who in the capital didn't know that the Marquis of Yong'an had basically half stepped out of the court.
It's really hard for the eldest prince to still talk to him with such a normal expression.
"Marquis Yongan is here today, is it about Princess Yuxue?" Zhou Rulin glanced at Shen Lanxi and saw that there was something wrong between her and Zhao Zheng, so he took the initiative to ask.
Zhao Zheng glanced at Shen Lanxi with complicated eyes: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and has allowed us to investigate the case of Princess Yuxue being framed. The official has been engaged to Princess Yuxue since he was a child. If that incident hadn't happened, now Mrs. Yongan’s position should be Yunxue.”
Seeing that Zhao Zheng was a little sad, Zhou Rulin patted his shoulder consolingly.
"I will definitely get to the bottom of what happened back then and give Yun Xue and you an explanation!"
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Zhao Zheng clasped his fists: "Thank you, eldest prince."
When the people from Prince Ji's Mansion learned that the eldest prince and Marquis Yong'an were visiting, they hurried out to greet them.
Unexpectedly, besides the two nobles, there was also Shen Lanxi.
What is this woman doing?
What good would it do her to expose the scandal of the year and let their Prince Ji's Mansion be criticized?
"First Prince, please come in."
"Marquis Yong'an, please come in."
The people in Prince Ji's Mansion completely ignored Shen Lanxi, and even deliberately separated her from Zhou Rulin and Zhao Zheng when they invited them in.
Shen Lanxi looked up at the plaque of Prince Ji's Mansion and sneered in her heart.
Do you want to lock her out of the palace?
"The eldest prince and I have been ordered to re-investigate the incident of Princess Yuxue falling into the water. His Majesty has ordered that relevant persons must actively assist in the investigation without making any mistakes!" Shen Lanxi shouted, causing everyone who entered the door to stop.
Zhou Rulin seemed to have just remembered that he had left Shen Lanxi outside, and immediately said with a smile: "Master Shen, please come in with me to investigate."
The people in Prince Ji's Mansion had dark faces. Seeing Shen Lanxi entering the door with a smile, they felt hurt internally, but they had to make way for her.
"Just now, the people from the palace only welcomed the eldest prince and Marquis Yong'an to enter, and the invitation was only for the two of them. I thought that Prince Ji's palace wanted to block the handling of the case and not let me in."
The faces of the people in Prince Ji's Mansion were so dark that they could no longer be seen.
Shen Lanxi must have resented the palace for not interceding for the Shen family back then, so she used Yun Xue's matter to deliberately make things difficult for them and cause trouble for them.
She actually labeled them as rebels as soon as they arrived. Shen Lanxi wanted them to die!
Such a vicious woman, Yun Xue was blinded back then, so she followed such a snake and scorpion, and now she has caused so much trouble for her family.
