In Fengyi Palace, although the queen said that she was grounded, she was not forbidden to see anyone.

But when the prince came, the queen was still a little surprised, and she brought him a cup of tea.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been busy in the previous dynasty, and now the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is coming soon, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has the leisure to come to the palace, I think there is something to ask for the palace, right?" The queen saw at a glance the purpose of the prince's visit today, and said quietly.

When the prince heard this, he answered "yes" unabashedly.

"The ceremony of sacrificing the heavens is coming, and when the ceremony comes, I think the queen mother will also be lifted from the grounding order, and the son has a plan here, which can not only help the queen mother avenge, but also fulfill the current wish of the son and son, and need the help of the queen mother, I don't know if the queen mother is willing." The crown prince pretended to look at the queen mysteriously and said.

The queen let out an "oh" when she heard this, and seemed to look at him with some curiosity.

The prince then told the queen about the plan he had already thought of, but when the queen heard these words, her brows subconsciously furrowed.

"It's not an easy thing to do, you have to be prepared, but it doesn't seem like you're very well prepared right now." The queen bluntly said what the biggest problem of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is.

When he heard this, the prince nodded slightly, yes, his plan is not yet complete, because he has not yet found a person to cooperate.

"If the queen mother is willing to help, then this plan will definitely be comprehensive, and please rest assured." The prince cautiously glanced up at the queen as he spoke.

"Forget it, this palace is now reflecting on itself in the harem, and it is no longer a matter of the world, if you rashly get involved in these things, it will not be of any benefit to the palace, although you are the prince, but this palace does not want you to be involved in these things." The queen calmly looked at the prince and said something of refusal.

How could the prince think that no matter what he said, the queen was unwilling to help, he sighed slightly, and seemed to be a little puzzled.

"This palace is now angry with Your Majesty, and it is already guilty, and I don't want to be involved in these things, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to understand." When the queen saw the prince's expression, she knew that he must be a little dissatisfied.

When the prince heard this, he couldn't say anything, so he could only answer "yes", and then got up to say goodbye to the queen.

After sending the crown prince away, Ah Qiu, the maid beside the queen, asked puzzledly: "Queen Mother, why did you say that His Royal Highness the prince would come to you to talk about such a thing?" Know you're grounded. ”

When the queen heard this, she hooked her lips and smiled.

"I think someone told him that a deputy general who participated in this incident has always been happy with this palace, if this palace comes forward and goes to talk to him about this matter, then this deputy general will definitely come to help this palace regardless of three seven twenty-one." The queen said with a sneer.

But she didn't want to take advantage of anyone anymore, so she rejected him.

The queen looked at Ah Qiu calmly and said.

She never does useless things, even if the other party is the prince, she is not willing to take risks for him, and now all discerning people can see that the prince is no match for Sikong Mubai in any aspect.

Ah Qiu is just a palace maid in this harem, so naturally she doesn't understand what the queen means by saying this.

The queen glanced up at Ah Qiu, shook her head gently, and did not speak.

However, as soon as the prince returned to the mansion, he heard Qi Dongya say another good news.

"Just now, Grandpa Guo sent a message saying that he has promised you and agreed to help you at this heaven sacrifice ceremony." Qi Dongya said as he glanced up at the crown prince.

He only glanced at the prince's situation, and he knew what happened to the prince, most likely because he was rejected by the queen.

However, when he heard the news, his expression, which was still lost just now, instantly became much happier.

It doesn't matter, the queen is unwilling to help him, as long as there is the help of Grandpa Guo, there is still a chance.

Now that it's the end of the year, all parts of the palace are starting to get busy, and Sikong Mubai has also been released, and this matter has become a headless unjust case.

Su Zhiyuan personally went to pick up Sikong Mubai and came out.

"I'm still thinking about whether your matter should be delayed until the end of the year, and I think that there is still about half a month before the end of the year, and the emperor will release you." Su Zhiyuan said as he took Sikong Mubai's hand.

Sikong Mubai looked at Su Zhiyuan's appearance and smiled slightly.

"Let's go back first, I'll let the small kitchen make your favorite snack, and we'll talk slowly after eating." Sikong Mubai said as he gently patted Su Zhiyuan's head, signaling that she didn't have to worry too much.

After the current matter was resolved, Su Zhiyuan's heart was really not too worried, and she followed Sikong Mubai back to his mansion.

The mansion had already prepared a sumptuous meal by now, waiting for him to return.

"Originally, the emperor planned to lock me up for a few more days, but one is that it is going to be the New Year, and everyone in the capital is busy, and the other is because those ministers have repeatedly spoken for me in the court. Sikong Mubai said gratefully.

If it weren't for those adults who spoke up for him in the court, he might have been locked up in prison for ten days and half a month.

When Su Zhiyuan heard this, her heart was also happy, but she suddenly remembered another thing.

"Although you have been released, what about Li Yuanhang's case? Do you want to keep looking? Su Zhiyuan looked at Sikong Mubai with some uneasiness and asked.

It's probably for the sake of festivities, so I usually don't go to investigate the case again in the year before the year, unless it's too urgent.

"This matter has been put on hold for the time being, all the money of Li Yuanhang's family has been filled into the treasury, and the embankment and the refugees have allocated money from their family's money to rebuild and settle down." Sikong Mubai told the emperor's decision and Su Zhiyuan all over again.

But when Su Zhiyuan heard this, he frowned a little puzzled.

"If Li Yuanhang's matter is put on hold like this, what should you do here? I know that there are people behind him, but His Majesty is unwilling to continue to investigate? Su Zhiyuan looked at Sikong Mubai with a puzzled expression and asked.

In fact, Sikong Mubai's heart was also full of unwillingness, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to investigate it carefully, but the result was unfavorable, and he just checked some evidence, and the family was dead.

"There's no point in checking it down, think about what we're doing now, if we check it down, is there anything else besides increasing our own difficulty?" Sikong Mubai sighed and said.

Thinking about it, Su Zhiyuan also sighed when he heard this.

When those people killed people, they had already quietly taken away all the relevant evidence, and without evidence, they would be tantamount to finding a needle, and they couldn't check all the suspicious people in the court, right?

It seems that the emperor's decision to give up investigating this case has also been carefully considered.

"But don't worry, although my father decided to give up investigating this case, it doesn't mean that he really doesn't have any doubts and fears about this matter in his heart."

Ordinary people don't have the courage to embezzle so many silver taels allocated by the imperial court to repair the embankment, since this person dares to swallow so many things secretly, he must not be an ordinary official in this court.

"Okay, I'm all back, your sad appearance can also be changed, and your current worries can also be put aside a little." Sikong Mubai said as he gently touched Su Zhiyuan's head, looked at her with a doting look and said.

The dim sum was served quickly, and when I ate this familiar dim sum again, I didn't expect that it had been nearly a month, and Su Zhiyuan had to sigh with emotion, things are not people.

"By the way, did you hear another thing, Su Linghao is coming back soon." Sikong Mubai said as he looked sideways at Su Zhiyuan and asked with a light smile.

When he heard this, a trace of joy appeared on Su Zhiyuan's face, really?

"Naturally, it's true, the palace has now begun to prepare for the ceremony to welcome Su Linghao, after waiting for so long, it can be regarded as waiting for him back, I think you are also a little anxious." Sikong Mubai looked at Su Zhiyuan with a funny face and asked.

But Su Zhiyuan waved his hand when he heard this, and said with a pretended not to care: "What can I worry about him, he has a lot of ability now, since he is back, it is really rare to be able to spend the New Year together at home." ”

Su Zhiyuan sighed with emotion and said.

For Su Linghao's return, the emperor's heart swelled with a lot of joy, and the impact of Sikong Mubai's incident some time ago seems to be gone.

The banquet in the palace is now held to welcome Su Linghao's return.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is now holding a banquet to welcome the return of General Su, and you are specially lifted from the grounding and let you handle the palace banquet. Ah Qiu said as she helped the queen make up.

But when the queen heard this, she sneered, if she and the emperor could really release their suspicions, it would be good.

"The return of General Su Xiao is a happy event, it must be done beautifully, it must be done beautifully, this is the biggest happy event of the year, if it is done well, the emperor's mood will be good." The queen said as she instructed the palace maids beside her.

In this whole world, "yes", immediately passed on the queen's decree, and the harem was busy in an instant.

"Niangniang, you haven't seen how ugly the concubine's face was when she heard about this matter, she was originally afraid that she wanted to take advantage of this matter to make a big deal and let His Majesty see her ability, but she didn't expect that you would handle this matter in the end." After Ah Qiu came back from delivering the news, he looked at the queen and said excitedly.

But the queen's heart is not very happy now, because the things that are happening one after another at the moment make her really a little tired.

"Okay, Ah Qiu, since you have eaten a trench and grown wise, you naturally have to know what to do about the current things, do these things well, and do more with less talk." The queen waved her hand and said with a slightly tired expression.

Ah Qiu hurriedly replied "yes", and then someone went down to do it.

Su Zhiyuan saw one good thing after another coming, which made her feel happy.

Su Zhiwei had to restrain herself because the queen went out of the mountain again, which made her heart very unhappy, but this was not happy, and she could only hide it in her heart, but it was not easy to say.

After she went to where she was supposed to go, the entire Su family became a lot quieter, these are just things in the backyard, even if Su Hanyu knows, it is just a muffled two, as long as they don't make too much trouble, everything is easy to say.
