Su Rongshu went to the secret room with familiarity, found the files on Qin Yuan's case, and read through it from beginning to end.
Qin Luan was serving tea and glanced at Su Rong inadvertently. He was stunned and looked at Su Rong blankly.
Su Rong looked up at her, "You read your father's file correctly."
Qin Luan's eyes turned red.
Su Rong thought about how she, a rich young lady, should have kept her finger off the spring water, but now she was serving tea and water to serve people. It was quite embarrassing. It was difficult for her to adapt to today's life instead of seeking a life and death.
However, she also thanked Zhou Gu for taking care of her and asked the prince to take care of her. Otherwise, no matter whether she entered Prince Ruian's Mansion or went anywhere, she would not be as safe and secure as the East Palace now.
Although people like King Ruian and Princess Ruian are considered good people, they are definitely not people who don't care about their family status. It is impossible for their son to marry the daughter of a criminal minister even to death. Xie Lin is not as strong-willed as Zhou Gu, and she is not as stubborn. She may not be able to stand up to her parents. The best outcome is for her to be Xie Lin's concubine. This may not be what Qin Luan wants.
This arrangement now is considered the best arrangement for her. After all, the prince's nature means that as long as he follows the rules and duties, he will not embarrass her. In the East Palace, she is a female official, and no one will look down upon her.
Su Rong put down the file and asked Qin Luan: "Can Miss Qin tell me about your father?"
Qin Luan didn't understand why Su Rongjin specifically came to see the files on his father's involvement in the case, but he still nodded under her eyes and talked about his father Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan, the censor Zhongcheng, has an upright temperament. In fact, his case is complicated indeed, involving most of the officials in the court, but it is also simple, that is, he has been identified by countless people as evidence, and there is no way to argue with anyone.
Yan Huisheng is right. Although his case seems to be two unrelated cases, it is really very similar to the case Libi is involved in now.
Qin Luan is a rich young lady raised in a boudoir. She didn’t know much about the court affairs before, and she didn’t know much about what her father Qin Yuan did every day. In the upbringing of the Qin family, daughters are pampered, so please give her a favor. The best master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will train her into a dignified and virtuous noble girl. When she grows up, she will choose a good marriage. Therefore, he almost never talks about the court situation in front of her.
Therefore, what Qin Luan could tell Su Rong were daily trivial matters and some things he learned from the conversations of his parents and brothers.
Su Rong didn't feel impatient to listen to trivial matters. Instead, she listened to Qin Luan's story, occasionally interjecting and asking who was usually friends with Qin Luan, or who was friends with her mother and brother, and whether anything happened before the incident. Something particularly strange and so on.
Qin Luan recalled, "Before His Majesty's decree came to the Qin Mansion to raid the house, my mother went to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense. After she came back, she was in a daze for two days and gave me many instructions."
As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, not daring to lose her composure, and whispered: "I thought about it countless times later. From about that time, my mother knew that our family was going to be in trouble."
"Who did Mrs. Qin meet when she went to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense?" Su Rong asked.
Qin Luan shook his head, "I never followed. I asked my mother afterward, and she asked me not to inquire."
Su Rong thought to herself, "It's the Great Buddhist Temple again." This Great Buddhist Temple is really a place of filth and evil. She turned to look at Yan Huisheng.
Yan Huisheng had put down the file at some point and listened to the two talking. Now when he saw Su Rong, he said to her: "I will send someone to the Great Buddha Temple again."
Su Rong immediately said: "I'll go there in a moment."
Yan Huisheng glanced at the sky outside. It was completely dark. Just when he was about to disagree, he heard someone outside the door saying, "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness wants to see you."
Su Rong raised his eyebrows, His Highness the Fourth Prince is the son of Concubine Li. Why is he coming to the East Palace so late? Did your plea go to the crown prince?
Yan Huisheng pursed her lips and thought.
Su Rong also thought about it, and after a while, she echoed to Yan: "I think you should meet him."
"Gu Ye thinks so." Yan Hui nodded and gave instructions, "Invite him in."
Qin Luan wiped the corners of his eyes silently, stood up and went out to greet him.
Su Rong asked Yan Hui, "Should I hold the file and go into the secret room to avoid it?"
"No need." Yan Hui shook his head, "Just sit here."
When Su Rong saw him saying this, she sat where she was without moving.
Not long after, a young man walked in. He was slender and handsome, but he looked a little decadent because he must have suffered some kind of blow. After he came in, he politely greeted Yan Hui, "Brother Prince."
Even though Su Rong was sitting here, he didn't show any surprise or surprise, and bowed his hands to her politely, "Miss Su Qi."
Su Rong had seen this young man from a distance during a banquet at the Chengguo Palace. At that time, he thought that when the princes gathered together, they all looked like dragons and phoenixes. Maybe wealth can really nourish people, so the princes all looked at it. It looks quite unusual.
Looking at this young man now, because Concubine Li was almost identified as the mastermind involved in the case, for the fourth prince, this may be a turning point in his life, and the aura around him has become gloomy.
It is conceivable that once Concubine Li is identified as the mastermind, the life of the fourth prince will almost come to an end.
Although he was not sentenced to death, nor did the mother and son sit together, and the fourth prince's involvement was not found, he was still burdened with a major case involving his mother's family. Not to mention the throne, it was almost impossible to be crowned king or nobility in the future. .
Yan Hui responded gently and waved his hand, "Sit down! What's the matter with Fourth Brother looking for an orphan late at night?"
Yan Shen did not sit down, but knelt on the ground with a pop, "Brother Prince, Third Brother, I beg you to save Empress Li. The mastermind is definitely not Empress Li. I dare to swear to God. If Third Brother can Save Concubine Li, my brother will be ruined from now on, and I will assist my third brother. I swear here that I will never have second thoughts."
Yan Huisheng looked at him calmly, "Fourth brother, the witnesses and physical evidence are now pointing to Li Bi. If you want to save Li Bi, you have to come up with evidence."
Yan Shen's eyes were red, "If my younger brother could produce evidence, he would not come to ask for help from the third brother. But my younger brother knew that Empress Libin was harmed by others. She did have the intention to let her younger brother compete for the throne, but she didn't It's just a thought. I know that I am not as good as the Queen, the Xianfei, and the Virtuous Concubine. I have not dared to act rashly in recent years to avoid getting burned. It is just wishful thinking. I am not as good as the prince brother, eldest brother, and second brother. I don’t dare to think about that position.”
Yan Huisheng was silent for a moment, then tapped the table, "Fourth brother, if you are demoted to a commoner because you have offended my father because of saving Concubine Li, will you still be willing to save her?"
Yan Shen paused for a moment, closed his eyes, and said hoarsely: "My brother is willing. Empress Libi had difficulty in giving birth to me. I can't forget the kindness of my birth mother."
Yan Hui nodded, "Get up!"
