Unexpectedly, Dou Shiyuan shook his head and said, "No. Qingshuang is from the Hu family. I just happened to be entrusted by the Hu family to take care of the fifteenth princess."
This answer was really beyond Zheng Ji's expectation.
Hu Meiren's family was far away in Lingnan and was just a family of officials. She had never thought that the Hu family would have contact with the Dou family of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
So, does Zheng Chuan know? Maybe it was because she didn't have a close relationship with Zheng Chuan, so Zheng Chuan didn't say anything?
However, after hearing what Dou Shiyuan said, Zheng Ji became a little clearer.
She had previously thought that Zheng Chuan could grow up safely in the palace because he had no sense of presence in the palace, so he did not arouse the attention and attention of any forces in the palace.
Now it seems that there is also a role for the Dou family in taking care of him.
"I was often sick when I was young, but fortunately I got better thanks to the hard work of the Hu family. Later, the Hu family moved to Lingnan and asked me to take care of the fifteenth princess." Dou Shiyuan replied warmly.
This is the origin of the past, and for him it is the beginning that can change the trajectory of his life, but for Princess Changding, it is just a statement.
Zheng Ji nodded, not intending to delve into the dealings between the Hu family and the Dou family. He just asked, "Does she know?"
"She knows, she knows that Qingshuang's Hu family stayed to take care of her, and she also knows that Qingshuang has connections with the outside world."
It's just that she didn't know that the person in contact with Qingshuang was him. Z.br>
She was timid and cautious, and had a clear understanding of her own existence and the Hu family's situation, so even though she knew that the Hu family had entrusted someone to take care of her, she never took the initiative to ask for help.
Because she knows that the Hu family is too weak. Even if they are entrusted, their role will be very limited and there is no need to cause trouble to others.
Unless her life was in danger, she had no need to ask for help.
It should be said that she was still too young and her sense of presence was too low. The previous intrigues in the palace did not affect her, and she herself was not aware of it.
By the time you notice it, it's too late.
——For example, what happened on the night when Princess Changding left the palace to hold a banquet.
When he later learned these things from Qingshuang, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
With his experience and acumen, he immediately judged that the fifteenth princess must be a part of the plan that night, or a part of the victim.
If a palace maid had not stopped her, she would have been the one who suffered the insult.
He was also at the palace banquet at that time and saw the condition of the thirteenth princess with his own eyes. Just thinking about it would make him shudder.
Therefore, he was full of gratitude to the person who stopped the fifteenth princess, and also spent a long time investigating, and finally judged that it was Princess Changding who did it.
It's a pity that Princess Changding's involvement in this matter was too clean. Although he was able to judge, he still had no evidence to prove it.
When it came to Wei Que, he felt that no evidence was needed.
The fifteenth princess has great trust in Princess Changding and takes the initiative to ask her for help. This is enough to explain everything.
Dou Shiyuan didn't say much, but to Zheng Ji's ears, he revealed too much important information.
After all, she had a lot of dealings with Dou Shiyuan in her previous life.
So, her expression became more and more relaxed, and she said calmly: "So? Mr. Dou invites you this time just to express your gratitude?"
With Dou Shiyuan's intelligence, it was impossible not to know that she was just helping Zheng Chuan in passing, so a special thank you would be too grand.
Based on her understanding of Dou Shiyuan, this person is best at killing two birds with one stone, or even killing several birds with one stone.
This invitation is definitely not as simple as saying thank you.
Dou Shiyuan was straightforward and replied: "In addition, I also want to ask you for advice, what are you going to do about Wei Que?"
When he asked, Zheng Ji understood instantly.
"You checked Wei Que and found nothing?"
Everyone is smart. When he heard what she said, Dou Shiyuan smiled: "Yes, I gained nothing. Presumably, Your Highness gained something?"
After learning that Wei Que wanted to marry the fifteenth princess, he began to investigate this person and did not let go of any clues.
Unfortunately, nothing can be found out. There is nothing special about Wei Que's family.
Even if there is a secret, it is an insignificant matter and has nothing to do with the matter of seeking to marry the fifteenth princess.
In such a situation, either Wei Que really has nothing to do, or the Dou family of officials cannot find out the inside story about Wei Que.
Yes, after all, he is an important general around the prince. No matter how capable the Dou family is, they cannot reach out to the prince.
However, Princess Changding is different. She has Changding to lead soldiers, the Jiang family, and even herself, all have extraordinary abilities.
After six months of observation, he has deeply confirmed this.
"What Master Dou can't do, why do you believe that I can do it?"
Dou Shiyuan did not answer. In fact, Zheng Ji did not need him to answer.
She believed that when Dou Shiyuan came to her, he must have explored her and made a conclusion.
"Even if I get something, Master Dou and I are not related, so why should I reveal it to you?"
In other words, what is Dou Shiyuan going to do in exchange for this news?
She knew that Dou Shiyuan could risk his life for Zheng Chuan. After all, that was the previous life, but what about now?
Judging from Dou Shiyuan's description, he and Zheng Chuan have nothing to do with each other now. If this is the case, why does he have such deep feelings for Zheng Chuan?
I was afraid that it was Zheng Chuan, no, even the Hu family probably didn't think about asking the Dou family to take care of Zheng Chuan, and they didn't expect that Dou Shiyuan would risk his life.
Perhaps only he himself knows why he has such deep feelings for Zheng Chuan.
She had no interest in this.
The only thing she wants to know is, how much can Dou Shiyuan do for Zheng Chuan now?
Dou Shiyuan did not answer but asked: "If you don't tell me, what do you want me to do before you reveal the news to me? You must have made a decision in your mind when you agreed to come to see me, right?"
Zheng Ji smiled. Even though she had enmity with Dou Shiyuan in her previous life, she still liked people like Dou Shiyuan very much, and could even be regarded as admiring him.
Without him, Dou Shiyuan is smart enough.
She enjoys interacting with smart people.
She wrapped her green-white fingers around the tea cup and pondered in silence, looking at Dou Shiyuan thoughtfully with her phoenix eyes.
Dou Shiyuan drank tea by himself and let her look at him with an open attitude and no urging.
After a long time, Zheng Jicai ordered Qin Zhou and Shi Dingfang to retreat. Obviously, he had something to say to Dou Shiyuan alone.
Immediately, she said: "The request of this palace is very simple. Lord Dou can definitely fulfill it. All that is needed is Lord Dou's determination."
Since he calls himself this palace, what Zheng Ji represents at this moment is not a young scholar from a poor family, but Princess Changding.
This is the most powerful princess in the dynasty, with a command rate of 4,000, and the support of the richest family in the dynasty.
Dou Shiyuan paused slightly while drinking tea. He put down the tea cup and looked at Zheng Ji: "Your Highness, please speak."
Zheng Ji smiled, picked up the tea cup and saluted him: "This palace wants the entire Dou family to be used by this palace. I wonder what Master Dou wants?"
