This person was brought in personally by Chang Shi Zhang Jian.
There was no greeting in advance, and no greetings in advance.
This person is none other than Dou Shiyuan, a doctor named in the Ministry of Personnel.
Zheng Ji was surprised when he saw Dou Shiyuan's sudden arrival.
She first looked at Zhang Jian, who couldn't hide his tiredness, and said, "What's going on? What happened?"
"When Xianguan came out of the palace, he happened to meet Lord Dou. Lord Dou asked to see His Highness because of something urgent, so Xianguan took him back." Zhang Jian explained.
Ever since Zheng Ji wanted to get in touch with Dou Shiyuan, Zhang Jian had been following his orders and trying to establish a relationship with the female members of the Dou family.
Therefore, he knew very well that Zheng Ji had close contacts with Dou Shiyuan.
After being suddenly intercepted by Dou Shiyuan, he thought for a moment and then brought him back.
Zheng Ji nodded and turned to Dou Shiyuan: "I don't know if Master Dou is here to visit, but because of the mother-in-law's fall from grace?"
At this time, Dou Shiyuan's sudden arrival could only be for this reason.
Dou Shiyuan nodded, without asking Zheng Jiping to step back, and asked directly: "Exactly. Your Highness, may I ask, did the empress really go to Cining Palace?"
Seeing Zheng Ji nodded, Dou Shiyuan's expression turned ugly.
The fact that Concubine Jiang angered the emperor and was demoted to a concubine by the emperor has spread in the front court, and everyone is talking about the reasons.
It was not because the officials were interested in palace matters, but because the front court and the back palace were inseparable.
Concubine Jiang's fall from favor means that the direction of the court will definitely change. How can the officials involved in it not pay attention?
Dou Shiyuan is also one of them. He pays more and deeper attention than many court officials.
After all, the Dou family has surrendered to Princess Changding, and the honor and disgrace of Princess Changding's family is related to the prosperity and decline of the Dou family.
However, Dou Shiyuan was not worried at the beginning.
He believed that Concubine Jiang, who had been favored by the emperor for more than ten years, could not fall out of favor just like this.
He is more inclined to think that this is a layout of His Highness, in order to... go further and smoother.
The reason why a person like His Highness Chang Ding takes one step back must be to take two steps forward. This is what he observed about His Highness Chang Ding.
Therefore, when he heard these discussions in the government office, he just treated them as information gathering.
Especially, when he learned that the emperor did not get back Princess Changding's tiger talisman, he became even more determined.
After returning to the mansion, he even discussed the matter with his grandfather and speculated on how the situation would progress, so as to help His Highness Ding at the critical moment.
Until they confirmed that the reason why Concubine Jiang was reprimanded by the emperor was because of Cining Palace.
Cining Palace, that is related to the Queen Mother.
Before Dou Shiyuan could figure out why, he saw his grandfather's expression suddenly change, and then his grandfather asked him to come to Princess Changding Mansion immediately.
"Your Highness, please step aside. I have something important to say to Your Highness." Dou Shiyuan said, his expression becoming extremely serious.
After Zheng Ji heard this, he glanced at Li Xing'en and others.
Li Xing'en understood, and immediately withdrew with Zhang Jian, and closed the door to ensure that the words between His Highness and Dou Shiyuan would not be spread.
Dou Shiyuan's breath quickened involuntarily: "Your Highness, my grandfather ordered me to come to see you immediately and tell you something."
Zheng Ji couldn't help but straighten his body and asked in a deep voice: "What are you talking about?"
The words Dou Gui asked Dou Shiyuan to pass must be very urgent and important, otherwise Dou Shiyuan would not be like this.
"Grandpa said, say..." Dou Shiyuan's breathing became more intense, and it seemed that it was difficult to say a word.
He closed his eyes hard for a moment, then opened them and said in one breath: "Grandpa said that Cining Palace can... determine the heir apparent!"
"What?" Zheng Ji blurted out, looking at Dou Shiyuan in disbelief, unable to believe what he heard.
She could understand every word of what Dou Shiyuan said.
, but taken together, what does it mean?
Cining Palace can determine the crown prince, does it mean that the Queen Mother can decide on the crown prince?
But, but...
Now the crown prince of the dynasty has been decided, and he is the crown prince born from the queen!
What's more important is that the Queen Mother has been staying in Cining Palace since the emperor ascended the throne. She has never even paid attention to the affairs in the harem and only focused on worshiping Buddha in Cining Palace.
How could such a queen mother appoint a heir apparent?
What’s even more unbelievable is how could such words come out of Dou Shiyuan’s mouth?
Although the Dou family is called the Dou family of officials, the most eye-catching person in the Dou family is only Dou Shiyuan.
It can be said that the Dou family is not even qualified to enter the center!
How could the Dou family know such secret things about the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince?
Or is it so appalling?
Zheng Ji stared at Dou Shiyuan intently and asked, "Is this true?"
Dou Shiyuan nodded solemnly and said: "It is indeed what my grandfather said. I dare not deceive His Highness in any way! My grandfather also said that these words... came out of my mouth and reached His Highness's ears, but he knew nothing about the rest. "
In other words, the reminder Dou Gui said was something he heard from others.
However, Dou Gui didn't say where he heard it from, and Dou Shiyuan naturally couldn't tell either.
When Dou Shiyuan wanted to ask more questions, Dou Gui kept urging him: "Go quickly and tell His Highness! Let Your Highness be prepared!"
Therefore, Dou Shiyuan hurried to the Princess Changding Mansion and happened to meet Chang Shi Zhang Jian.
The situation was urgent, and Zhang Jian was a person trusted by His Highness, so he couldn't care more at the moment.
It has to be said that his words were like a huge mountain pressing down on him.
Even people like Zheng Ji have a hard time staying calm.
The meaning of this sentence is that Cining Palace can determine the heir apparent. The meaning is actually very easy to understand.
However, no matter how you think about it, this sentence is impossible to achieve.
Even she, who has lived her whole life again, feels that this is completely impossible!
What was the Queen Mother like in her previous life?
Not long after her father ascended the throne, the Queen Mother never left the Cining Palace because she worshiped Buddha.
But in her impression, no matter what happened in the court, no matter how many officials were promoted and accused, no matter how many princes and princesses died in confinement, it never had any impact on Cining Palace.
Over the years, Cining Palace and the Queen Mother seemed to be no longer in the harem, with no sense of existence at all.
When she met Fengju, the emperor's grandmother had already collapsed.
Her royal grandmother, whether it was the concubines in the harem or her grandchildren, actually knew almost nothing about her.
Except for what she later learned about, which strictly speaking could not be described as a scandal, she knew nothing about the Queen Mother.
But Dou Shiyuan said this...
She took a deep breath and made a decisive decision: "I want to see your grandfather!"
This matter was too big and sudden. She had to see Dou Gui first.
She had to know what was going on before she could enter the palace to see her father!
"Second update!"
