At this time, Zheng Xun completely understood Zheng Zheng's intention.
Zheng Zheng said so much and went round and round, mainly to arouse his father's suspicion.
For my father, this half of Deng Wuyou was like a stick in his throat. If he didn't take it out, he would never have peace.
However, he did only exchange for half of Deng Wuyou, so what about the other half of Deng Wuyou?
No matter where the other half of Deng Wuyou is, he can't take it out anyway.
He failed to come up with the other half of Deng Wuyou, so no matter what he said, it would be useless. ——Father won’t believe it.
Moreover, whenever my father thinks of him, he will think of the other half of the tree, Deng Wuyou, and the hidden worries that he cannot swallow.
Everything Zheng Zheng did and said was to completely cut off his escape path!
However, this half of Deng Wuyou could be in the hands of anyone, including Zheng Zheng himself.
Since Zheng Zheng dared to say this, he was sure that the matter would not affect him. Where did Zheng Zheng get the confidence that his father would not doubt him?
The prince, the crown prince of the country, due to his status, it is difficult to advance and there is no way to retreat. Shouldn't he be walking on thin ice with trepidation?
"Father..." Zheng Xun called out, wanting to say something, but suddenly he met the other party's solemn eyes.
His father has completely lost patience with him. His father will not tolerate him anymore. He really has nothing to do... Zheng Xun thought aimlessly.
He originally thought he could struggle to escape, but he didn't expect that his fate would be decided by someone else's joke.
From the day he left the palace and opened his mansion, he fell into Zheng Zheng's hands. His so-called forbearance and dormancy over the years seemed like a joke to Zheng Zheng, right?
Facing Zheng Zheng, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart for the first time.
At this moment, he also realized very clearly that the struggle between him and Zheng Zheng, if there was one, was completely over at this moment.
Zheng Zheng did not intend to let him go, and continued: "Father, no wonder neither the Ministry of Punishment nor the Jingzhao Mansion can find out the cause of Master Cheng's death. It seems that it is related to Deng Wuyou. This matter is of great importance. Please ask Father, please make a decision as soon as possible. I believe that Prince Yi’s Mansion and the Zhou Family should be thoroughly investigated immediately!”
"You!" Zheng Xun's scalp was numb, his heart seemed to be pulled tightly, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Even if he was sure that there was not even a single Deng Wuyou in Prince Yi's mansion, there were always things that no one knew about after he had been in office for several years.
And the Zhou family, that's what he and his mother and concubine rely on!
The Zhou family is the best among scholars in the world. If the family is thoroughly searched, then...
He simply couldn't imagine what this was like, so much so that his eyes seemed to be shaking.
Why is it like this? In the first half of the night, he was still discussing Dou Shiyuan's matter with his uncle. How come in the second half of the night, it became clear that Prince Yi's Mansion and the Zhou family were about to be raided?
It happened so fast that he was not prepared at all!
Seeing that his father seemed to be about to give an order, Zheng Xun's heart had already jumped into his throat, and he hurriedly said: "Father, my son... I remember that half of the Deng Wuyou... I suspect that... ...In the hands of the Dou family, the official department!"
After saying this, he closed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were red.
He realized that what Zheng Zheng really wanted to do might not be to arouse his father's suspicion.
What Zheng Zheng really wanted to do was to force him to tell the story of the Dou family, and to draw the Dou family in through his mouth.
You know, Dou Shiyuan just went to Princess Changding Mansion!
He pointed out the Dou family, and also pointed out the Changding Princess Mansion behind the Dou family.
From the beginning to the end, whether Zheng Zheng was poisoning Cheng Yong or trapping him into the game, what he really had to deal with was Chang Ding!
So what if you know this?
At this point, he had to tell the Dou family personally and had to act according to Zheng Zheng's wishes.
Even if you know it, even if you tell it, it may not be able to change the fate of Prince Yi's Mansion and the Zhou family, but... what if?
Zheng Zheng threw this bait and he had to bite!
Zheng Xun, who was in infinite pain and fear, did not realize that under his
After saying these words, the corners of Zheng Zheng's lips showed an almost imperceptible arc.
Zheng Xun, this idiot, finally spoke out.
At this point, although things are completely different from his original plan, the final result will not be too far off.
Fortunately, he made a quick decision and took the lead.
There is nothing wrong with this principle: strike first to gain advantage, strike later to suffer disaster.
At this time, no one dared to speak in the Zichen Hall. It was so quiet that only the sound of burning ambergris could be heard, and the atmosphere was indescribably oppressive and tense.
In such an atmosphere, Zheng Zheng felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
When his subordinates came to report that Dou Shiyuan had gone to Princess Changding's mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little panic.
He was very aware of Dou Shiyuan's abilities. This young doctor Si Feng had an unlimited future.
At the same time, he also knew very well that this young man with a promising future would not be used by him.
It is said that people with different ways do not work together. The way of doing things and the path taken by the Dou family of the official department are incompatible with the East Palace.
What's more, there is still a Wei Que.
Since Wei Que has taken a fancy to the fifteenth emperor's sister, it means that Dou Shiyuan and Wei Que can never work together.
Comparing the two, of course he would choose Wei Que, who had fought for him through life and death.
Then, we can only reluctantly give up our love for Dou Shiyuan.
If Dou Shiyuan had defected to Prince Yi's Mansion, he would not be surprised and angry, but Dou Shiyuan actually defected to Changding!
King Yi, a fool, doesn't know that King Yi's movements over the years have been under the surveillance of the East Palace.
King Yi suspected that the Dou family of the official department had picked up half a plant of Deng Wuyou, but he did not doubt it, but was very sure.
At the beginning, he would not trust Yun Gonzhi wholeheartedly, but he would always send people to follow him secretly. His people saw with their own eyes the Dou family picking up the half of Deng Wuyou.
Zheng Zheng didn't expect that by some mistake, half of Deng Wuyou would be obtained by the Dou family of the official department.
At first, he wanted to take back half of the Deng Wuyou plant. But after thinking about it carefully, he found that it would be more beneficial to keep the half of the Deng Wuyou plant in Dou's house than to take it back.
God is helping him!
If the Dou family has this half plant of Deng Wuyou, it means they have something in their hands. More importantly, the Dou family is completely unaware of this!
In other words, no matter how prosperous the Dou family is, they cannot escape his grasp and will eventually be used by him.
So, what would he do with it?
He was not in a hurry at all, and even at some point, he secretly helped the Dou family. .
After all, the greater the power of the Dou family and the higher Dou Shiyuan's official rank, the more advantageous he will be when he uses the Dou family in the future.
Everything was fine until Dou Shiyuan went to Princess Changding Mansion.
He never expected that Dou Shiyuan would come to visit when the storm hit Changding.
Based on his understanding of the Dou family, this visit is a sign of surrender, and one of the sincerities must be the half of Deng Wuyou the Dou family gets!
Once Chang Ding knows that Cheng Yong died in Deng Wuyou, all his previous plans will be ruined.
Fortunately, he was in the palace, closer to his father than Chang Ding, and could take the lead!
