At night, as soon as Su Li lay down on the bed, he couldn't help but think of what happened during the day.
If Princess Rongfu is indeed not the real Princess Lucky Star, then who would have replaced the real Lucky Star?
Before the Queen gave birth, the Emperor had only one eldest son, the current Prince Ning, the eldest son of Concubine Xiao.
If the queen gave birth to a prince, it would be extremely detrimental to the status of Concubine Xiao and the eldest prince.
Of course, the emperor was in his prime at that time, and many concubines would give birth to princes in the future. The concubines who wanted to compete for the throne naturally did not want the queen to give birth to a prince.
Therefore, in order to prevent the possibility of the child in the queen's womb inheriting the throne, all the concubines in the harem were suspected, of course, the degree of suspicion was determined.
In general, Su Li felt that Concubine Xiao was the most suspicious.
And another point is that it is said that Empress Renxuan and Concubine Xiao had a very good relationship. On weekdays, the two were as close as sisters. This is why Concubine Xiao was so close to Princess Rongfu.
However, Su Li felt that the closer the person was to him and the more he trusted him, the more chances he had to do something unexpected.
But this was just her speculation. As long as the truth didn't harm her and didn't prevent her from killing Princess Rongfu, she didn't really care...
More than half a month passed in a flash.
Princess Rongfu was still under house arrest and had not been released, while the Dali Temple was still investigating her.
There are new things happening in the capital every day, and the rumors about Princess Rongfu are almost unheard of.
Early in the morning, Xiaowu excitedly told her the news that Xiaosanzi heard in the teahouse today.
"Madam, do you know? I heard that Zhao Xingwen got engaged to Miss Zhang Er, the Minister of Works, yesterday."
Su Li raised her eyebrows: "Zhao Xingwen is quite capable."
A man who has lost his wife and has a son, and who once cheated on a poor boy, can actually marry a noble lady from a wealthy family. Doesn't that mean he has the ability and means?
Judging from the situation in the original novel, she felt that it was very likely that he had taken advantage of Zhang Ruying's toxic love-brain.
However, getting Minister Zhang's consent was beyond Su Li's expectations.
Xiao Wu continued, "But Madam, I heard that Zhao Xingwen is not marrying Miss Zhang Er, but marrying into her family."
"Oh? So it's about marrying into the family."
No wonder Minister Zhang agreed immediately. So that's how it is.
But as far as she knew, Zhao Xingwen was the only son in the family. For the sake of his future, he would do anything, even marrying into his wife's family.
"One more thing. In five days, the Zhaoming Temple's triennial lecture conference will be held. Madam, should we go?"
"It is said that the lecture held every three years is personally led by Master Tongming, the abbot of Zhaoming Temple. Many pilgrims will attend, making it a very lively occasion. By the way, I heard that Master Tongming is the direct disciple of Master Wuen..."
Su Li nodded: "Since it's so lively, it wouldn't hurt for us to join in the fun then."
Zhaoming Temple is the most popular and famous Buddhist temple in the Great Jin Kingdom. Although she has been in the capital for so long, she has never been there.
Xiao Wu was delighted when he heard this and said, "Then I will prepare all the necessary items for the incense in the next two days!"
Su Li couldn't help but laugh. Xiaowu and Xiaosanzi were lively by nature, and since they were not very old, they naturally liked to be in a lively environment.
Suddenly thinking of Su Er, he asked, "How was Su Er just now?"
It has been nearly a month since his foot last hurt and he went to the clinic for treatment. I don’t know how he is doing now.
Speaking of this, Xiaowu's face was filled with joy: "Big brother has been able to walk these past two days. The doctor said that if there are no accidents, big brother will be completely recovered within a month!"
Thinking about how the lady had given them double the monthly salary every time during the past two months for their meritorious service, she felt extremely grateful to the lady. She knew that the lady was finding ways to give them money to treat her elder brother.
Su Li hadn't expected Su Er to be so lucky, and was very happy for him. He advised, "I heard that drinking bone soup is good for foot injuries. Remember to ask Cui Hong to make more bone soup for him. It might help him heal faster."
Xiao Wu said gratefully, "This servant would like to thank Madam on behalf of Big Brother."
The doctor said the same thing when she went to the clinic yesterday. She was also thinking of asking Sister Cuihong to stew some bone soup for her brother every day. She didn't expect that Madam had already thought of it for her. Madam, that's so nice!
At this moment, Xiao Ye came in and reported: "Madam, Miss Jinzhu is here."
Su Li said, "Please ask her to come in."
"yes."
After a while, Xiao Ye brought Jinzhu in.
Jin Zhu bowed and said, "Young Madam."
Su Li smiled and said, "Miss Jinzhu, does your grandmother have any instructions?"
Jin Zhu replied respectfully, "Young Madam, it's because the old lady hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so she asked me to come and ask the young madam to come over."
Su Li quickly asked with concern: "Grandma is not feeling well, can you please call a doctor?"
"Young Madam, don't worry. I've already called a doctor, and he said she'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Su Li nodded and said, "Please go back first, Miss Jinzhu. I will go back to the mansion to see my grandmother later."
"Yes, Madam, I'll take my leave."
After Jinzhu left, Su Li changed her clothes and took a carriage to the Duke's Mansion.
The main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.
When Su Li entered the hall, the old lady was sitting at the head of the hall with her eyes closed, and Yinzhu was pressing her forehead from behind.
Su Li was relieved to see that the situation was not serious, but still asked with concern: "Grandma, how are you?"
When they first recognized each other as relatives, the old lady had always protected Pei Ji without any doubt. After they recognized each other as relatives, she was also quite nice to Pei Zhao and her, so she still had a good impression of the old lady.
The old lady slowly opened her eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, it's an old problem that's lasted for more than ten years. It will be fine after a few days of rest. But there's something I need your help with."
"Grandma, just give your orders."
Jinzhu, who was standing by, said, "In five days, it will be Zhaoming Temple's triennial lecture. Before each lecture, the old lady would personally copy the scriptures and offer them before the Buddha as a token of her piety. Since I haven't been feeling well these past few days, I haven't been able to copy the scriptures, so I wanted to ask the young lady to help copy the scriptures and take care of all the arrangements for my trip to Zhaoming Temple."
Su Li replied, "Don't worry, Grandma. Leave these matters to me. You can rest assured."
Copying the scriptures was not a problem. As for taking care of the affairs of going to Zhaoming Temple, Su Li knew that the nanny would take care of these things, and she just had to watch.
The old lady nodded and smiled, "Good boy, you've worked hard these past few days. Let Nanny Jin take you to my study to copy scriptures later."
"yes……"
After watching the old lady go into the bedroom to rest, Su Li followed Nanny Jin to the study.
