Chapter 226 She is a person who never disappoints



Su Juan has been so busy these days. If it weren't for Yu Zhong's help, she wouldn't even have the time to go to the palace to have meals with the Queen.

But the old emperor still wanted to find something for her to do.

He had previously released all the people in Prince Jing's Mansion without guilt, and now he wants me to hold Princess Jing accountable. How could he do things this way?

The old emperor looked at her and was silent for a moment. "Are you having any difficulties?"

Su Juan smiled, "No, there is no difficulty."

With a smile on his face, he was gritting his teeth in his heart: [Are you not clear whether you have any difficulties or not? ]

[I pardoned the person myself, but now you want me to be the bad guy. Who would be like you and betray his own granddaughter? ]

The old emperor sneered in his heart, "How could you, a little girl, take advantage of me so much and still make a fuss about it?"

"Do it well, don't let me down."

"My granddaughter will definitely take care of it."

The old emperor looked around and felt that the palace was really deserted and it was time for some happy events.

"Recently, I have discussed with the Ministry of Rites that after you have dealt with the matters at hand, we will put forward the rules for canonizing you as the Crown Princess. Now many people in the court are optimistic about you. You must do your job well and don't be impatient."

"If there are things you can't decide on your own, go find Cai Yi."

Su Juan nodded, "Granddaughter understands."

She thought: [Time flies by so fast. I was so pitiful in Prince Jing’s mansion back then, but now I am about to become the Crown Princess.]

Upon hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but worry. If possible, she really didn't want her granddaughter to be trapped in this imperial city, but now she had no other choice.

After dinner, the emperor and Su Juan came out of the empress's palace. On the way, the old emperor said again, "You are not young anymore, it's time to think about marriage. I'm thinking that after you are crowned as the crown princess, I will hold a poetry meeting in the palace and pick two suitable people of the right age in Beijing for you."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Juan to see her reaction. The main thing was that the selection of the future emperor's husband could not be careless and he must have good character.

Su Juan, who was following beside him, was so angry that she immediately declined the offer, "Grandfather, this is not urgent. There are many more important matters in the court. Let's talk about it later."

She never dreamed that, as a person who does not believe in marriage, the old emperor would actually let her marry two husbands! ?

Su Juan's mind uncontrollably depicted some unspeakable scenes. This blessing was truly not something that ordinary people could withstand.

The old emperor frowned, thinking that Su Juan had someone she liked in her heart. "This matter cannot be delayed. I will choose a suitable one for you with a suitable family background and talent. If you have others you like, you can marry them as well."

As he said that, he waved his sleeves and led the people behind him away, no longer giving Su Juan any chance to refuse.

The old emperor's temper was fully displayed at this moment.

What kind of emperor?

Su Juan was overwhelmed. She shook her head to get rid of all the messy things in her mind. The most important thing right now was to resolve the Song Qianfan issue first. Yan Zizhan had fled from the capital after Song Qianfan got into trouble and wanted to go to the South, but was ambushed and captured by the people she arranged.

But after so long, nothing has been found out.

This person was just put aside. There were too many mysteries surrounding him and it was hard to see clearly.

Su Juanxin thought that she had to first investigate the Pei family's case and clear the Pei family's name.

The evidence related to the Pei family case might really be in the hands of King Han. It seems that I have to go to King Han’s mansion.

The next day, Su Juan and Yu Zhong went to Prince Han's mansion together. They waited for a long time but did not see Prince Han. Finally, Song Jingwen came to see him.

Song Jingwen placed a dozen letters in his hand and a piece of cloth with words written in blood on the table. "My father asked me to pass this on to you. He said it is what you want."

Yu Zhong, who was standing by, picked up the thing and looked at Su Juan, but was not in a hurry to check the letter.

Su Juan frowned slightly. This time, she wanted to meet King Han. Pei Lianshan and King Han were close friends back then, so perhaps he knew more.

But since Song Qianfan's rebellion, King Han has been claiming illness and has not attended court or met anyone.

"Please help me, my lord. I want to meet him."

Song Jingwen sighed, "I've already said it just now, my father is really not feeling well and doesn't want to see anyone."

Yu Zhong, who was standing by, knew that Su Juan had visited many people in succession recently in order to get to the bottom of Pei family affairs more quickly. In fact, there were already some clues, but if King Han didn't want to see them, there was no way to force them to come out.

"Your Highness, why don't we come back another day?" Yu Zhong suggested.

After all, the current stalemate is just a waste of time, and there are still many things to do later.

Su Juan sighed slightly, "Okay."

Anyway, now that I have the letter, I can go back and see if it can help the case. It won’t be too late to look for the person later.

It is really difficult to investigate this old case. Fortunately, Yu Zhong does not mind the trouble and follows me around all day long.

After the two left, Song Jingwen went to see King Han, who was watering flowers in the backyard, "Father, the person is gone."

King Han nodded, "Yes."

Song Jingwen wanted to leave, but thinking about what happened just now, he couldn't help asking, "Father has always regarded General Pei as a close friend, why is he unwilling to go out and meet Princess Jinyang and the people from the Ministry of Justice now?"

Now that the Pei family’s case is being re-investigated, isn’t this what my father has always been thinking about?

King Han paused for a moment while watering the plants. He put down the wooden spoon he was using to scoop water and asked, "What do you think of Su Juan?"

Song Jingwen pondered for a moment, "My son has been with her before. She has a pure mind and is always thinking about the court. She has also done a great job in Xuzhou. The people of Xuzhou all praise her. Now she has dealt with the rebellion of Song Qianfan and the Yu family. The people in Beijing are full of praise for her."

King Han: "If she really wants to investigate the Pei family's case, she will naturally find out that the Pei family is innocent. If she doesn't really want to investigate, it will be useless for me to meet her."

There are too many people like Song Qianfan. Every rebellion will implicate many people, including many innocent people, who only seek personal gain.

Song Jingwen frowned slightly, "Father, do you think that she took on this matter in order to gain merit, and that she would just do it for show?"

King Han did not answer him. "If she really wants to overturn the case for the Pei family, she will be a good king when she ascends the throne."

But if she just wanted to use the Pei family case to show off and establish some prestige, it would be really disappointing.

Song Jingwen understood that his father wanted to see Su Juan's sincerity and see how far she could go.

After all, this case was decided by the late emperor. To overturn it like this would overturn the late emperor's decision. It would prove that the late emperor had harmed the three clans of Pei Lianshan, a hero of the country, because of suspicion. This would be a heavy and tragic stroke in the history books of the year, and Su Juan would also suffer a lot of criticism because of this.

"Son understands."

King Han sighed and hoped that she would not disappoint him.
