Dou Gui was not surprised to see Zheng Ji appear. No one could remain indifferent after hearing those words.
However, all the words he knew had been spoken.
Therefore, before Zheng Ji spoke, he said: "Your Highness, I heard this by chance, and no one else knew about it."
"So, where did you accidentally learn about it?" Zheng Ji asked calmly.
She knew very well that Dou Gui ordered Dou Shiyuan to pass those words to attract her.
Now that she is here, Dou Gui will definitely say something.
Sure enough, Dou Gui said this: "Your Highness, to be honest, these words were spoken by Concubine Yonggui back then. I heard such words by chance when I was in Taichang Temple."
This statement cannot stand up to scrutiny at all, it is too false.
How could Dou Gui listen to such an important secret, even if it came from Princess Yonggui?
Dou Gui picked up half a branch of Deng Wuyou in Prince Yong's Mansion. It was already a rare coincidence in the world. How could there be a second coincidence?
If you say it, Dou Gui himself won't believe it.
She stared deeply at Dou Gui, who had many wrinkles on his face and looked older than his actual age.
Dou Gui's age should be similar to that of the Queen Mother...
She suddenly felt blessed and asked, "Are you and Princess Yonggui old acquaintances?"
Dou Gui was stunned for a moment, and then a slight smile appeared in his eyes: "Your Highness is indeed very perceptive, but..."
He shook his head and said: "Xiaguan and Concubine Yonggui are not old acquaintances, they just helped each other a few times when they were in trouble."
"..." Zheng Ji was speechless.
Dou Gui said this lightly, but the meaning behind it was too serious.
A small moment of support is much more important than an old acquaintance.
Not only Zheng Ji, but also Dou Shiyuan next to him was stunned.
He didn't expect that his grandfather would actually meet Princess Yonggui? Moreover, it sounds like a deep friendship.
He had never heard his grandfather say any of this!
Dou Gui stroked his beard, looked at Dou Shiyuan lovingly, and explained: "This is not an important matter, there is nothing worth saying."
The support between him and Princess Yonggui was before she entered the palace. After she entered the palace, there was almost no contact.
Only after the death of the late emperor, when he was in Taichang Temple, he had several contacts with Concubine Yonggui due to sacrificial matters.
At that time, the Empress Dowager was in poor health, so there were many things that Concubine Yonggui took care of on her behalf.
"Xu Shi's childhood friendship is particularly different. Although Xiaguan and the concubine have not been in contact for many years, she seems to have great trust in Xiaguan..." Dou Gui said this with a calm look.
It was under such a premise that he could accidentally hear what she said to the aunt beside him.
At that time, when he heard such a sentence off guard, he was so shocked that he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
Fortunately, Princess Yonggui left with her aunt and did not seem to notice his presence.
For a period of time afterwards, Dou Gui deliberately avoided Concubine Yonggui - he really didn't want to hear such words.
At that time, he did not have a high official position and had no ambitions. He did not want to know any secrets of the nobles in the palace.
Especially, the secret about the prince of the country!
Finding out secrets may be a kind of dependence for some people, which can protect themselves and prolong their lives, but for him, it is a life-threatening talisman!
He wished he had never heard these words, and secretly complained that Princess Yonggui was unkind: He had helped her several times, but she actually harmed him like this?
Isn't it harmful to him?
There is absolutely nothing that he and the Dou family shouldn't know about such a thing, but he just heard such a sentence!
If this is really what Princess Yonggui said, then the sun will rise in the west!
In short, this secret was like a heavy stone weighing on his heart. During that time, he was always worried that he or the Dou family would do it because of this sentence.
The words were useless until... Concubine Yonggui passed away suddenly. .
Without any warning, people disappeared overnight.
It was also at that time that he suddenly figured out that perhaps Princess Yonggui had expected that something would happen to her, so she deliberately let him hear those words.
Afterwards, the Empress Dowager never left Cining Palace, and Concubine Yonggui also gradually faded out of the court.
No one knew that Dou Gui, who had served as an official in Taichang Temple for a short time, had heard such a shocking sentence.
Moreover, because of this constant worry, I lived through it so hard that I became several years older than my actual age.
"Your Highness, this is what happened. I understand what this sentence means, but I don't understand why she said it, let alone think it is possible."
Dou Gui's tone sounded extremely calm, and there was even a sense of relief.
For him, saying these words was like letting go of something.
Now, the pressure should go to His Highness Changding, right?
Apart from His Highness Changding, he really didn't know who else could be qualified to hear these words.
Seeing that His Highness Changding and his grandson were both stunned, Dou Gui thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, I originally wanted to wait until the time was right to say this, but the matter involved Cining Palace, so I decided to I think it’s time to speak out.”
This sentence should have been left by Princess Yonggui on purpose, but it was really of no use to him.
He couldn't figure it out. In this case, it would be better to tell someone who might understand, such as His Highness.
Perhaps this sentence is useful to His Highness?
Dou Gui has been an official in the court for so many years. Although he is not yet an important minister in the court, he has some keen insights.
The imperial concubine went to Cining Palace, and the emperor made an unprecedented move...
If there was ever a ripe time for those words to come out of his mouth, it was probably right now.
Your Highness, what will you do?
Zheng Ji really couldn't do anything, and she did see it, and Dou Gui told everything he knew.
In other words, Dou Gui knows nothing.
The Queen Mother can decide the heir apparent. What does Princess Yonggui mean by saying this?
It must not be said casually, it should be...literally.
Everyone knows that Concubine Yonggui has the best relationship with the Queen Mother.
And after living an extra life, she knew that the relationship between them was more than just a good relationship.
The question is, why did Princess Yonggui say this, and what is the use of it?
The Queen Mother, her imperial grandmother, has been hiding in Cining Palace for so many years. Is she really that capable of appointing a heir apparent?
Zheng Ji felt unspeakable disappointment in her heart. She thought Dou Gui would know something, and coming to Dou Mansion would make her mother's arrangements more foolproof.
but……
She composed herself and said, "I understand. Since the words are related to Cining Palace, I will take them to heart."
She suddenly thought of something: would it be useful if the concubine heard this?
"There were some errors in the description of the Queen Mother in the previous chapter. They have been corrected. Sorry!"
