"You just said, these are what you have been thinking about during this period of time?" Zhao Xun asked.
"Yes," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, looked back at Zhao Yu, and said, "I asked many people, and they all said they didn't know why Dingguo's mansion was ransacked. I always wanted to ask for an answer, but then I slowly
You know, Duke Dingguo’s mansion is meant to be killed for you, the princes’ children and the court ministers, so it’s okay if you are scared, what do other people have to care about.”
"Ha." Zhao Kuan smiled softly, and let out a very soft laugh, blowing out light white smoke in the night.
“The reason why we don’t tell the world is that this move is even better.”
It's their fault, Duke Dingguo's government took advantage of their own merits and committed great unjust acts. The crimes are too numerous to list. I just used the old Duke Dingguo's loyalty to the country to save the last bit of integrity and face for them. But you
If you insist on forcing me to scold me and force me to speak out, I feel really aggrieved."
"Hahaha!" Zhao Qi laughed loudly with a loud voice. He looked at the girl and said, "It's fun. You are really fun. These are also guesses?"
"Otherwise," Xia Zhaoyi's expression became serious, "Did Duke Dingguo really commit some heinous crime?"
"Crime," Zhao Xi stopped laughing, "Who can commit a crime? There are only two people left in the Dingguo Palace. One of them couldn't speak after he came back and didn't even eat. The other one was still young and couldn't say anything.
If others take them seriously, who among them will commit a crime?"
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "So, my guess just now is all true."
Zhao Xi blinked his eyes, wondering if it was his imagination. There was clearly a layer of cloth on the girl's face and her expression was calm, but he seemed to have seen her in grief and resentment just now.
"Tell me about her." Zhao Xi said.
Xia Zhaoyi didn't speak, and was silent for a long time, then said: "Today's matter about the Yu family, did you send someone there because of other disputes, or because this matter is related to the Xia family?"
Zhao Xun shook his head and said helplessly: "I want to hear about her, but it's so difficult."
"Is it related to the Xia family?"
"Ah Li," Zhao Yu curled his lips and smiled, "In this case, you first tell me a few things related to your sister Xia. As long as you are willing to talk, then I will agree to whatever you want."
Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, looking at Zhao Xi with doubts in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xi asked.
"Do you really like Xia Zhaoyi so much?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Why do you think it's false?" Zhao Xin asked, "I have already said that she is my wife."
Xia Zhaoyi even couldn't help but think of the word "dark marriage".
"Oh," Xia Zhaoyi said, "since you have such a close relationship with her, you should know that she doesn't like being spied on, right?"
"Spying?" Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, "Girl, why do you say that?"
"If you use her past as a trade, she will be very angry when she finds out," Xia Zhaoyi stood up and said, "I will go check it out myself and take my leave."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Zhao Xun stood up in a hurry: "Ah Li!"
Xia Zhaoyi looked back at him.
Across the night, Zhao Yu stood behind the piano dressed in white, with a sad look on his face, and said: "I actually don't believe you know her, but I have some luck. Tell me honestly whether you know her or not."
I won’t embarrass you.”
Xia Zhaoyi sighed softly and nodded: "We really know each other."
"Then, would you like to tell me about her?"
"No," Xia Zhaoyi said, "the deceased is gone, there is nothing to say. Whether you believe that I knew her or not, I don't care if she can't be my bread. Take my leave."
She withdrew her gaze and turned around to leave. At the same time, her attention never left the corner of the courtyard, in case someone suddenly jumped out to stop her.
When she completely walked out of the courtyard, she stopped.
Ahead was the lake. The evening wind was so strong that the ripples on the lake were barely flattened by the shimmering water surface.
Xia Zhaoyi turned back and looked at her courtyard again. Recalling Zhao Xun's expression just now, the feeling in her heart was like a rising fog.
She had almost no interactions with this person in her previous life. She rarely came back to Beijing and met with him even less frequently. If she had any interactions, there were only two incidents in total. One was that Zhao Mingyue had repeatedly hinted that he wanted her to be his wife.
The daughter-in-law, and secondly, Zhao Xuan and Xia Zhaoxue have a pretty good relationship, and Xia Zhaoxue often mentions him.
However, Xia Zhaoxue has a cheerful nature and likes to make friends. He is a hero from all over the world, a scholar from the countryside, and a nobleman in the court. Xia Zhaoxue has friends all over the world, so this is not surprising. Xia Zhaoyi has never even seen the name of Zhao Yu.
The first time I saw them was the words I picked up on the ground when I came here last time.
Suddenly, she found someone she didn't know very well being so affectionate toward her. Xia Zhaoyi felt this feeling was complicated and uncomfortable.
Forget it, she looked away, what does this have to do with her.
"Your Majesty," Ji Sheng walked out from behind the shadow of the tree, "are you after me?"
"Why are you chasing?" Zhao Xun glanced at him and said, then raised his hand and placed it on the strings of the piano, and the piano sounded a few times.
Ji Sheng looked at his slender fingers plucking the strings and said: "If this girl is really Ah Li, it would be a pity to let her go like this. It can be seen that she is not our enemy, on the contrary, she has also helped
There are many of us, and if such a capable and elusive talent can be used as our own as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful for us."
Zhao Xun plucked the piano again, and the sound was moving.
His fingers left the strings, he looked up at Ji Sheng, and said, "It's okay. The most indispensable thing in the world is talent. We don't care about this."
"But……"
"This is not my territory," Zhao Yu interrupted him, "She came for Duke Dingguo's mansion, not for me. If I bring her over now, wouldn't I just be poaching someone else?
I can't do this kind of thing, I can't do it."
Ji Sheng was speechless: "How does this make sense? She is here to follow our people today. I don't know if she is here for Duke Dingguo's mansion..."
"Yeah." Zhao Qi responded casually, lost in thought.
The mentality shown by a teenage girl is really unusual.
Let alone a teenage girl, not even he would dare to come here alone in the middle of the night.
And judging from the tone, this girl came from the Yu family. The Yu family was holding a quiet funeral recently, and there was a tragically dead body parked in the lobby.
This girl, if nothing else, has extraordinary courage.
"I'm not convinced." Zhao Qin said suddenly.
"Huh? Crown Prince?" Ji Sheng looked at him.
"I will come alone tomorrow, so don't follow me." Zhao Xun said, standing up, "I will sleep here alone tonight, so please go back."
