Everything that happened today was too sudden. The dragon boats are all supervised by various governments. Hands and feet are another story.
Well, if someone really did this on purpose, even if this kind of thing has been carefully calculated, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Therefore, the Seventh Prince, who had been hanging far behind from the very beginning, of course became the biggest suspect.
Sure enough, the emperor immediately looked at the seventh prince, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the sixth prince and King Qin. Of course, he didn't let the fourth prince go.
The Seventh Prince is not keen on the dragon boat race every year, and hangs far behind each time, the emperor knows this. If what happened this time was done intentionally by someone, then it is also possible to slander Lao Qi after it is done.
The emperor was so angry that he looked at the four sons kneeling on the ground and felt that any of them were suspect.
He had to find out the truth about this matter! He absolutely does not allow anyone to engage in such insidious tricks under his nose!
The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his anger for the time being, and asked, "Where's Chu Yan? Why didn't you come on duty today?"
Mu Ruhai immediately whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, Prince Jing's son has been transferred to the Shenji Battalion, and now the Jinwu Guard only has the deputy commander."
The emperor rubbed his forehead, it seemed that he was really too tired recently, and even forgot about it.
"Then pass it on..." The emperor searched for credible candidates in his heart, and finally felt that only Chu Yan was trustworthy: "Forget it, let's pass on Chu Yan."
After hearing the emperor's words, King Qin's eyes darkened.
The emperor's eyes sharply captured this moment, and his heart sank.
"All of you go back first." Feeling physically and mentally exhausted, the emperor waved his hands and said, "I don't want to see your brothers fight each other, so if someone dares to attack your brother, I will never tolerate it." .”
"My son will leave."
When going out, the Seventh Prince deliberately walked last, observing his three elder brothers.
After his analysis, the Fourth Prince and King Qin are the most suspected of this matter, but he doesn't know who did it.
Fortunately, the person sent by the emperor to investigate the case will be Chu Yan, no matter who it is, he will not be involved.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince admired Prince Yan's wisdom very much. He put Chu Yan beside the emperor, which was really a good move.
In Uncle Anjing’s mansion, Su Yan received a dowry list from the old lady just after she came back to Uncle Anjing’s mansion. The old lady also specially asked the maid to bring a message, saying that if there is anything wrong, Su Yan will tell someone to tell her. she.
Su Yan casually opened the dowry list and took a look, but she was taken aback for a moment at the first glance. The things recorded on it were all treasures, and there were some things that Su Yan had never seen in the Su family. It should be in the old lady's private treasury.
Su Yan can figure out how much Uncle An Jing has. For the list that the old lady sent her, Su Yan thinks it is too precious. After thinking about it, Su Yan felt that she could not accept this, so she went to the old lady.
Su Yan put the dowry list in front of the old lady: "The granddaughter has read this list. The granddaughter has a betrothal gift from the eldest son, and she will not have to worry about food in her next life. You should keep these things for your younger brothers to marry."
The old lady knew that Su Yan was sensible, but she didn't want to wrong Su Yan: "Silly girl, these things are all belongings outside of your body. If you marry Prince Jing's son, you are considered a noble marriage. We can't let others look down on our family."
"The granddaughter really can't accept it."
"You child, if you let you take it, you can take it. Grandma knows it well." The old lady forcefully stuffed the dowry list into Su Yan's hand: "Although our family is in ruins now, the skinny camel is bigger than me." Martha, I can afford the dowry, so you can take it with peace of mind."
"Grandma, take it back quickly."
The grandfather and grandson were pushing back and forth, when someone knocked on the door and came in to report: "Old lady, princess, someone from the Princess Jinyang's mansion has come, saying that they are here to give a dowry to our princess."
The old lady and Su Yan looked at each other, and went out together with a tacit understanding.
As soon as she came out of the Hanging Flower Gate, the old lady was stunned, the courtyard was full of boxes and cages! Although I still couldn't see what was in these boxes, but this battle alone was no less shocking than Chu Yan's shock to the old lady that day.
Counting carefully, it turned out to be a total of sixty-four lifts.
It was Nanny Wu who came to deliver the dowry. After bowing to the old lady and Su Yan, Nanny Wu respectfully handed over the list that she had drawn up before to the old lady: "Madam Su, these are some items from Princess Jinyang. Mind."
The list was like a hot potato, and the burning old lady was at a loss: "How did this happen?"
Grandma Wu laughed and said, "Our Eldest Princess has no children under her knees, and only recognizes Princess Le'an as a god-in-law. This time, Princess Le'an is very happy, and His Highness the Eldest Princess is very happy. You can take it with peace of mind."
Su Yan also chimed in: "The eldest princess has always been generous to her granddaughter."
Seeing the boxes and cages all over the floor, the old lady was overwhelmed with flattery, and repeatedly asked Nanny Wu to thank Princess Jinyang.
Madam Wu replied: "Old Madam, Princess, since the things have been delivered, the old slave will go back to report first."
After Wu Momo left, the old lady gave the dowry list to Su Yan, asking her to keep it safe. Su Yan opened it and saw that, as she expected, they were all high-quality items. Su Yan closed the dowry list, and said to the old lady: "Since Princess Jinyang has sent a dowry to her granddaughter, then your pressured ones Take back the good things at the bottom of the box."
"There is no reason to take back the things you sent out." The old lady looked at Su Yan reproachfully: "You girl, why are you evading your grandmother, you can take these things with peace of mind. Suffering, these are my compensations for you."
Su Yan tried her best to persuade her for a long time, but the old lady refused to take back what she said. After thinking about it, Su Yan decided that she had to change the way, so she went back to Xiwuyuan first.
Su Yan had just arrived at Xiwuyuan, and was looking at the two dowry lists in her hand, worrying about what to do, but before her butt was hot, another maid came in to report that her parents from the Xing family had come.
Su Yan immediately went to the flower hall.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Yan saw that the old lady was sitting on the main seat with a friendly smile, while Xing Changlin and the Han couple were a little reserved sitting there.
Seeing Su Yan coming in, the old lady said with a little reproach: "Master Xing and Mrs. Xing came to Beijing, why didn't you tell me?"
"It's the granddaughter who ignored it." Su Yan smiled at the old lady, and asked after seeing the two elders of the Xing family: "Father, mother, why are you here?"
