Chapter 171 Instigating Liu Yanyan
After talking for a while, the queen let Jiang Yi go back.
As soon as Jiang Yi left, Su Mei quickly said goodbye to the queen and followed him.
As for today, there is a reason why Su Mei helps Jiang Yi.
She is interested in Shen Yu, and Shen Yu and Jiang Yi are in the same group. So winning over Jiang Yi will help her pursue Shen Yu.
"Miss Jiang, wait for me!" Su Mei caught up with Jiang Yi and called her.
Jiang Yi stopped and turned around to see that it was Su Mei. After Su Mei came closer, he bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Princess, for speaking for me today."
Su Mei waved her hand and said, "Miss Jiang, this is just a small favor. The rumors are just rumors, and it's not your fault at all. I'm just helping my mother to clarify the truth."
"Princess, there's no need to be so modest. If you hadn't helped me today, I would have had to take the blame." Jiang Yi shook his head.
"Take the blame? Take the blame for what?" Su Mei was confused.
"Look at what I said, I was wronged." Jiang Yi changed his words.
"Is that so? But don't worry, my mother is not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. She still attaches great importance to facts and evidence. Look at how exaggerated Liu Yanyan said today, and she just called you over to ask." Su Mei told Jiang Yi everything Liu Yanyan said today without hesitation.
"I didn't find it. How could Miss Liu dislike me so much?" Jiang Yi felt amused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Su Mei nodded in agreement.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, Princess. We'll talk later." Jiang Yi said goodbye to Su Mei.
"Hey, don't go." Su Mei quickly stopped her.
Jiang Yi looked at her in confusion.
"Well, I haven't visited you for a long time. I happen to have nothing to do today, so can I go sit with you for a while?" Su Mei looked a little unnatural.
Jiang Yi seemed to have guessed her purpose.
"Okay, Princess, you are welcome anytime." Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Just kidding, the entire palace is her home, and she even asked Jiang Yi if he could come over and sit for a while.
You can sit however you want.
Just like that, Su Mei followed Jiang Yi back to her side.
Coincidentally, Shen Yu was here today too.
"Mr. Shen!" When Su Mei saw Shen Yu, her eyes seemed to shine, and her love for Shen Yu was so obvious that it went without saying.
Jiang Yi felt very unhappy seeing her like this.
On the other side, after Su Mei and Jiang Yi left, only she and Liu Yanyan were left in the Queen's Palace.
Without anyone else around, Liu Yanyan changed the way she addressed the Queen.
"Aunt, this is a horrifying case that hasn't happened in the capital for a century. It just so happened that these two people were brought into the palace by my cousin. From what I can see now, there is definitely something fishy about this Miss Jiang and the man beside her." Liu Yanyan recalled that the Queen had let Jiang Yi go back so easily just now, and she felt a little unwilling.
"Everything is just rumors. Neither you nor I know the specific situation." The queen glanced at Liu Yanyan.
She understood what Liu Yanyan was thinking. Su Jiu now focused all his energy on Jiang Yi. Liu Yanyan had been thinking about Su Jiu since she was a child. Now that Jiang Yi suddenly appeared, she would definitely be unwilling and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The queen has been immersed in the harem for many years, and she can see through Liu Yanyan's little thoughts at a glance.
"Didn't a palace maid die in the palace not long ago? It happened right after these two people came. Their whereabouts are unknown, so there must be something big wrong." Liu Yanyan said.
The Queen was not easily persuaded by her. Instead, she shook her head and hinted, "Everything must be based on evidence. Empty words will not be convincing at all."
Only evidence can convince those who do not believe. Evidence is the most powerful, direct and most effective way to achieve the goal.
Liu Yanyan understood the meaning behind the Queen's words and couldn't help but lower her head.
The Queen is hinting that she should go and get the evidence herself.
As the two were talking, a palace attendant came in and announced, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has arrived."
"I pay my respects to my mother, the Queen." As soon as Su Ji entered the room, he bowed deeply to the Queen.
The queen couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "You kid, hurry up and get up!"
Liu Yanyan also bowed to Su Jiu shyly.
Su Jiu nodded with a somewhat indifferent attitude.
"Mother, what are you busy with?" Su Jiu greeted the queen.
The Queen just smiled and said nothing. Liu Yanyan interrupted at this moment: "Cousin, my aunt and I were talking about the man who was sucked dry in the folk legend."
"Oh?" Su Jiu looked at Liu Yanyan with a smile.
Seeing that Su Jiu's eyes were all on her, Liu Yanyan felt a little elated for a moment. She quickly told Su Jiu about the rumor and also shared her own speculation.
However, she was good at making the confusing case sound violent and cruel, and even mentioned Jiang Yi at the end.
This statement is self-evident, it is obvious that Jiang Yi is regarded as the murderer.
In fact, Su Jiu had already heard about this matter before he came, but his version was very different from what Liu Yanyan told him.
This is also the reason why he came to the Queen this time.
When Su Ji heard that the Queen had called Jiang Yi over to ask her about the murder case in the capital, she was worried that the Queen would make things difficult for Jiang Yi, so she hurried over to help Jiang Yi.
But he didn't expect that he was a step too late. It seemed that Jiang Yi had already left here safely.
Su Ji noticed that Su Mei, who usually stayed by the Queen's side, was not there today. He guessed that it was probably Su Mei who helped to put in a good word, which allowed Jiang Yi to leave successfully.
"My cousin, what you said is a bit biased. Miss Jiang was just being bullied by that man at the time, and she said those words out of desperation. In my opinion, that man has done a lot of evil and has probably offended many people. Miss Jiang is just one of them. Moreover, judging from what happened when I first met Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang is definitely not a person who would use such cruel means."
Su Jiu spoke for Jiang Yi in front of the Queen.
Liu Yanyan didn't expect that even though she said so much, in the end Su Ji was still devoted to Jiang Yi.
The handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn to pieces by her.
The queen saw everything.
"It is a great blessing for Miss Jiang to have such trust from you two siblings," said the Queen with a smile.
"Your Majesty, that's not true. I was just speaking the truth. I can't say I was speaking for Miss Jiang."
The two talked for a while, and Liu Yanyan couldn't get a word in at all.
In the end, Su Jiu said goodbye and left.
Liu Yanyan stood behind the queen, pouting, looking very unhappy.
"Why are you so impatient?" asked the queen.
Liu Yanyan had just lost face, and now the Queen said this to her. She felt extremely aggrieved for a moment.
I could see the tears were about to fall.
The Queen sighed and said, "You must remember everything I said. A man's heart must be won through trickery."
What this meant was to teach Liu Yanyan how to deal with Jiang Yi.
