Zheng Ji glanced at Xue Gong without leaving any trace, hesitating in his heart whether to use this person again.
After thinking for a moment, she gave up.
Not to mention that it was difficult to tell whether what Xue Gong said was true or false, she just said that she had promised Xue Gong before, and she should only keep her promise if she only bothered him once.
Apart from Xue Gong, only the father, the prince and King Yi knew about what happened last night.
None of these three people could reveal anything to her.
At this moment, Zheng Ji was very sure that it was impossible for her to know what happened in Zichen Hall last night, but she could guess.
For example, now her father mentioned Dou Shiyuan, letting her know that she had guessed Deng Wuyou.
The prince took action overnight, thinking that he already had evidence that King Yi had stolen Deng Wuyou. Perhaps the prince blamed King Yi for Cheng Yong's death.
Otherwise, why would my father order King Yi to be imprisoned on Shannan Road?
The prince's chess piece was originally intended to deal with her, but unexpectedly it was used against King Yi instead.
Guessing this, Zheng Ji not only did not relax at all, but also felt relieved again.
Before learning that King Yi was taken away by Zhu Yi, Zheng Ji had already made a plan to use half a plant of Deng Wuyou to lure the prince into the game and make his father jealous of the prince.
However, before she even started to act, the prince was aware of it and quickly formulated a response strategy.
One night passed, King Yi was imprisoned, but the prince was unscathed!
If one thing goes wrong, another thing will fail quickly, and the final result will be as desired. To do this overnight, how huge must the force be and how decisive must the response be?
The prince was much more powerful than she had imagined.
With such a powerful enemy, and this enemy is always going to put her and the Jiang family to death, how can she relax?
"Father, why did you ask about Dou Shiyuan? Could it be that Dou Shiyuan did something? If I had known this, I would not have seen him!" Zheng Ji said angrily.
Emperor Yongning smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I just asked casually."
How can the emperor's golden words be justified in asking casually?
"Oh, that's it." Zheng Ji seemed to believe it anyway. She wanted to ask more about King Yi, but she still didn't ask.
The level just now is enough. If you talk too much, your father will become suspicious.
King Yi is still in Jingzhao, so she still has to find a way to see him.
Otherwise, there is still Concubine Zhou Shu...
She had all kinds of thoughts in her mind, but her face remained calm.
No matter what she wants to do, she must first pass the test of her father and leave the Zichen Palace.
She secretly worked hard to deal with possible accusations from Emperor Yongning.
Who would have known that Emperor Yongning actually said, "I'm a little tired. If Chang Ding has nothing to do with you, just retreat."
"?" Zheng Ji was filled with doubts, but he immediately replied: "Yes, Father, then I will take my leave first. Father, please... rest more."
When her father summoned her to the palace, he just casually asked her what Dou Shiyuan said?
This... the storm in Zichen Palace last night did not affect her at all. This is not normal!
She can be said to be the center of the deaths of Dou Shiyuan, Deng Wuyou, and Cheng Yong. No matter what happens, there will be raindrops splashing on her.
Could it be that the father has other considerations?
Because of these things, when she left Zichen Palace, she was filled with doubts and worries.
Zheng Ji didn't know that while she was trying her best to arrange various responses last night, there were also people who stayed up all night and tried their best to run for her.
In the Taifu's Mansion, Pei Yanshan was reporting to Du Fengju: "Sir, there is news from the palace that His Highness has left the Zichen Palace safely. Don't worry."
"Yeah." Du Fengju was lying on the bedside and only replied this word.
His voice was low and hoarse because he stayed up all night, and there were a few obvious bloodshot eyes in his eyes.
When Pei Yanshan saw this, he said: "
Young Master, Fengchen Guard has already obtained those clues. There is still something to be done in the palace, so my subordinates left first. "
Du Fengju nodded: "Everyone has worked hard. There is nothing to do today. Let everyone go and rest first."
A lot of people were dispatched from Taifu's Mansion last night, and they are still on standby. Now that His Highness is safe and sound, those people can evacuate.
"Yes, young master." Pei Yanshan obeyed the order and left.
After a night of exhaustion, Du Fengju was actually very tired, but he did not fall asleep immediately.
He half-closed his eyes, bent one leg, and unconsciously nodded his slender fingers on his knee, while the other hand... shook a token in his hand.
This is a bronze medal with animal patterns. At first glance, there is nothing special about it. It is just an ordinary decoration. Compared with the jade pendant and jade medal, it seems that the material is just different.
Many young people in Jingzhao like to hang accessories. This bronze medal with an animal pattern hung on his waist in the past, and it never attracted the attention of others.
No one knows that this bronze medal with an animal pattern is the status symbol of the owner of "Heng Tower" and is of immeasurable value.
Henglou is the most mysterious place for information exchange in the Dade Dynasty. It is rumored that there is countless information here. As long as you pay the corresponding price, you can get the information you want.
However, Henglou has no fixed place, and those who know it are tight-lipped about it, making it even more mysterious.
As the owner of Heng Tower, Du Fengju knew that these were just rumors.
Henglou does collect and sell information, and the information is much better than ordinary people, but not all information is available, and it is not as powerful as the rumors say. If this is really the case, the imperial court will never tolerate the existence of Henglou.
This Heng Tower, like Lu Ji Bank, was left to him by his adoptive father.
The one who ordered Heng Tower was this bronze medal with an animal pattern.
However, even without this beast-patterned bronze medal, he could still use Henglou's people.
After all, what Henglou really recognized was his adoptive father, and he was by his side.
However, it was different in the palace. The palace only recognized this bronze medal with animal patterns.
Last night, he sent this animal-patterned bronze medal to the palace for His Highness Changding, and for the first time he used his adoptive father's manpower in the palace.
Precisely because of those manpower, he was able to deliver the prepared evidence to Fengchen Guard in time and divert Zhu Yi's eyes away from Princess Changding's Mansion.
In this way, Zhu Yi would focus on the prince.
He used the manpower left by his foster father to deal with the prince. His foster father shouldn't be angry, right?
Du Fengju imagined what his adoptive father would look like when he found out about this, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
It would be great if he could really see his adoptive father angry and helpless again...
He shook the bronze medal in his hand and murmured to himself: "Father, although she is the daughter of Emperor Yongning, she is different..."
If the adoptive father meets His Highness Changding, he will definitely be very happy.
In the entire Dade Dynasty, the person who can truly learn the martial arts and mental methods of his foster father is His Highness.
She is determined and smart enough, and she is so good-looking. My adoptive father likes beautiful people the most!
