The moment Zheng Jiyue entered the Taifu's house, Wei Yan was aware of it. When he noticed the familiar pace, he did not move and let him go straight to Du Fengju's study.
Zheng Ji landed quietly outside the window of Du Fengju's study. Looking at the people writing furiously under the candlelight in the room, the ups and downs in his heart gradually dissipated.
She didn't call out, she just stood quietly by the window and watched, her mood getting calmer and quieter.
At this moment, Du Fengju was obviously extremely focused, and he did not notice Zheng Ji's arrival.
But soon, he seemed to feel something in the next moment, and he suddenly raised his head and looked out the window.
There, someone stood quietly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, looking at him intently.
By the candlelight in the room, he saw that familiar and gorgeous face.
His heart trembled suddenly, and what he wanted to say seemed to be stuck on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't say it for a while.
Why is Your Highness here?
After the initial tremor, Du Fengju's reason came back and he began to guess what Zheng Ji was here for.
Every time His Highness comes late at night, he must be unsettled. What is the reason for this time? Is it because of Cheng Yong's death?
Cheng Yong collided with the carriage of Princess Changding Palace on the street, and after a few arguments with His Highness Changding, he suddenly fell to the ground and died. This matter had already made a fuss in the court, and it was impossible for Du Fengju not to know about it.
However, in his opinion, this setup was too low-level to be worth mentioning.
Even though he was a veteran of three dynasties who fell to the ground and died, he did not think that this matter would affect His Highness. His Highness could easily deal with this matter.
If His Highness cannot handle this matter, then His Highness is not His Highness Chang Ding.
In his opinion, the selection and competition of the martial arts pavilion during this period was the most important. He put all his energy and thoughts on it. He only ordered Pei Yanshan to pay close attention to it and report to her in time if there were any changes. he.
Pei Yanshan did not report it, which means that everything is under the control of His Highness Chang Ding.
Caught off guard, he saw His Highness in his residence.
Then, things are unusual.
He stood up, walked to the window, lowered his head to look at Zheng Ji, and asked softly: "Your Highness, what happened?"
He discovered that His Highness had a hobby, which was that every time he came at night, he liked to stand by the window and watch him quietly.
Obviously, Wei Yan and the others did not stop him, His Highness could knock on his door.
Therefore, he accommodated His Highness's hobby and did not invite His Highness to come in.
Zheng Jifeng's eyes slightly curved, and she nodded: "Something happened."
What Dou Shiyuan said has been lingering in her mind, and the changes in her past and present life have also made her ups and downs.
She came to Taifu's Mansion to discuss these matters with Feng Ju, but now, she is not in a hurry.
She looked behind Du Fengju, remembering how attentive he was just now, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Du Fengju calmed down and replied with a smile: "Organize my adoptive father's exercises so that they can be improved and used in your training."
His Highness still had the time to ask him what he had done. Obviously, "this little thing that happened" was not a big deal.
It's just that His Highness is indeed here, but he doesn't know how to do it.
"Oh, that's right." Zheng Ji smiled and said, "Countless pairs of eyes are staring at Guichang. I think this martial arts competition will not be too easy."
Of course she knew who the martial arts gentlemen Cheng Yong was looking for and what she would encounter in the competition.
But she was never afraid.
In the way of martial arts, one can defeat ten levels with one force. As long as one is strong enough, one is not afraid of any conspiracy or trick.
But that's not the case for other things.
She thought of Dou Shiyuan's words again, leaned forward slightly, put her hands on the window sill, and asked, "Fengju, do you know Deng Wuyou?"
Deng Wuyou? What is this?
Du Fengju shook his head and replied: "Your Highness, I have never heard of it, what is this?"
He didn't know at this time, but he could ask Heng Lou to check.
There must be someone in Henglou who knows.
"It is a kind of poison. If a person drinks it for three days, he will suffer from heart palpitations and fear and die." Zheng Ji said.
"This is so outrageous. Such a poison is rare in the world. How could His Highness know?" Du Fengju immediately reacted and asked, "Could it be that Cheng Yong's death was related to this thing?"
He knew that the world was full of wonders, but he had never heard of such a strange name and such a strange poison before.
"Yes, Cheng Yong's death is related to this object." Zheng Ji did not hide it.
She paused and continued: "It was Dou Shiyuan who told me about this today."
In just two sentences, too much information was revealed, but what Du Fengju was more concerned about was Zheng Ji's last sentence.
Dou Shiyuan told him that that meant that Dou Shiyuan had made his choice, which was what His Highness expected.
This is a good thing!
But His Highness didn't say much. It was obvious that the poison "Deng Wuyou" was what His Highness cared about.
He could see that His Highness seemed to be hesitating.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask.
I saw Zheng Ji closing his eyes and said: "In the case of Cheng Yong's death, I originally thought that I would just withdraw, but with half a tree of Deng Wuyou, I can verify who is targeting me."
Du Fengju thought for a while and thought that the half of Deng Wuyou came at the right time.
Obviously, Dou Shiyuan's move was carefully considered.
Since there are rumors in the court that Cheng Yong was angry to death by His Highness, as long as the Emperor knows that Cheng Yong's death was due to Deng Wuyou, it can be immediately concluded that Cheng Yong's death actually has nothing to do with His Highness, and that someone is framing the blame.
At the same time, it can also be proved that the theft of Deng Wuyou has nothing to do with His Highness.
After all, no one would use such a precious poison to harm themselves, because the logic makes no sense.
In other words, what Dou Shiyuan said would not only help His Highness solve the dilemma that made Cheng Yong angry to death, but also make the Emperor trust His Highness more.
You know, Bai Wuyou comes from the inner treasury!
The inner treasury is heavily guarded. If you want to steal from it and worship Wuyou, who has such ability?
It must be a capable person in the palace, but this capable person will definitely not be His Highness.
Who could be stupid enough to steal poison from the inner treasury to set up a trap for themselves?
Therefore, this half of Deng Wuyou is too important, and it only needs to be delivered to the emperor.
The only question is who will donate half of the Dengwuyou plant.
It cannot be someone from the Jiang family, it is best to be someone who is hostile to His Highness and must have weight in the court.
Such people are hard to find, but...
Du Fengju smiled and said: "Your Highness, you can give this half of Deng Wuyou to me. Father, you can donate it."
Although the relationship between the father and the imperial concubine has eased now, how can they let go of the feud they had for many years?
Did His Highness think so when he came late at night?
However, Zheng Ji said: "No, we do not intend to dedicate this to our father. We intend to use it on our father!"
