Dou Zunian understood the meaning of Yifang's words, sighed quietly, and said with a wry smile: "There is news from my grandfather. Tomorrow, he will bring his aunt to Kyoto."
After listening to Dou Zunian's words, Yifang remained silent. After a while, Yifang lowered his head slightly, sighed softly, brushed away some invisible dust, looked at Dou Zunian, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Brother, are you human?"
When you gain something, you always have to lose more!”
Before Dou Zunian could reply, Yifang did not give him a chance and said coldly: "Since my grandfather doesn't care about his old daughter marrying a man over fifty years old, why should I care! When they arrive the day after tomorrow, I will
Immediately issue an edict granting marriage!"
Dou Zunian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but it was not until he met Yifang's cold, frosty eyes that he comforted him: "Yifang, my grandfather's side, and the Hua family, it's time to think about themselves.
"
Seeing Yi Fang's noncommittal look, Dou Zunian walked to the table, picked up the cold tea, drank it in one gulp, put the tea cup heavily on the table, and gave a cruel smile.
"Yifang, in the past, when you and I were working as slaves in the backyard, all we wanted to do was to make progress. Later, you were elected to the palace and named Concubine Yi. Do you remember that before you entered the palace, you told me that there were some things that were not
Forgiveness or not, but I have to accept it, do you still remember it?"
"I remember." Yi Fang looked at Dou Zunian's expression and probably guessed what he wanted to say, and nodded slightly.
"I didn't take your words seriously at first. I have never sincerely forgiven the Dou family and that so-called father. However, after becoming the head of the family, I finally understood that I had to do many things."
Hearing this, Yifang suddenly turned around and looked at Dou Zunian with a sharp look that he had never used before. His tone was like frost and said: "I have to do it!" She smiled and said sternly, "This is what you did to the emperor without telling me.
The reason for the transaction!"
Dou Zunian had known for a long time that although Yifang didn't show it on his face, he even meant to forgive, but in his heart he had always been troubled by the fact that he had concealed her poisoning. At this time, when he heard Yifang say it, he laughed out loud.
Voice.
As long as Yi Fang is willing to say it, the sister who used to pester him and rely on him will be back!
Dou Zunian met Yifang's eyes, slowed down his speech, and said slowly: "Yifang, you are in the palace, don't you know that you can't help yourself!"
Yifang was shocked, and this time, she didn't speak at all.
In fact, no matter what she said, after entering the palace, she had already understood the truth better than anyone else. Since Dou Zunian had already opened his mouth, there was no need for her to dwell too much on it.
However, when Dou Zunian brought up the matter about the Hua family, she had one more question in her mind!
That question was the matter about Ming Zhen'er that had been lingering in her mind. She always felt that maybe the Hua family, which she had thought had withdrawn from the political situation of Great Xia, was not as simple as she imagined!
She searched for a long time, but couldn't find any relationship or dispute between Ming Zhen'er and her mother. Then why, Ming Zhen'er had a shadow similar to her own, and also a shadow of her mother!
"Brother, you know, one of the new nobles entering the palace is named Zhen'er!"
When Dou Zunian heard Yi Fang's sudden change of questioning, his eyes flickered for a few times. Yi Fang keenly noticed something was wrong and immediately asked: "Brother, are there any disputes between Ming Zhen'er and the Hua family? What is the matter with Grandpa and the others?"
What do you want to do!"
Dou Zunian rubbed his brows helplessly when he saw that Yi Fang was refusing to give up until he asked more questions.
"Yifang, Ming Zhen'er's mother, is also your aunt and mine!"
"How can this be!"
Yifang was greatly horrified. When Ming Zhen'er entered the palace, she had the title of legitimate daughter. Since she was a legitimate daughter, she should have been born to the arrogant and domineering Duke's wife. If the Duke's wife was
How could her aunt still have such an almost endless dispute on the way to Yunshan Temple?
What's more, the sister named Zhen'er was the original Concubine Zhen!
Concubine Zhen had repeatedly killed her in the palace. If the famous family really had such a connection with her, according to Concubine Zhen's behavior at the time, they would definitely win over her first and then make other plans.
We started to lose face!
"Brother, this..." Yi Fang hesitated for a long time, then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he uttered a sentence.
"Isn't Ming Zhen'er the legitimate daughter of a famous family?"
Dou Zunian smiled meaningfully, "She is indeed the legitimate daughter of a famous family."
"That……"
"She is the real legitimate daughter of a famous family."
"What did you say!"
Yifang couldn't help but change his expression. The real legitimate daughter of a famous family, what the meaning of those words meant was that the former Concubine Zhen was not...
How is this possible? How could a famous family marry a daughter of a concubine into the royal family? If Concubine Zhen is not his legitimate daughter, then why would a famous family go to war with her for Concubine Zhen? What is hidden in this!
When Dou Zunian saw Yi Fang's expression changing several times, he finally stopped hiding and told everything he had found out.
"Dong Shou married two wives in his early years. One is the current Duke's wife, and the other is our aunt who was adopted as a child and moved to another family - Hua Piaoyu."
Dou Zunian frowned and said regretfully: "You must have noticed that Ming Zhen'er's appearance seems to be somewhat similar to yours, so you became suspicious. The same is true for the emperor. When the emperor saw the portraits sent to the palace by famous artists, he felt that Ming Zhen'er
Similar to you, I was called into the palace to inquire. I didn’t know why, so I went to ask my mother. She thought about it again and again, but she never remembered when the Hua family had a marriage relationship with the Duke of Shouguo.
For example, it was not until later that I remembered that in the early years of the Hua family, an aunt was carried out. I immediately called someone to track down this clue, and then I learned that the aunt, whose real name was Hua Piaoyu, was killed by the Nanwang Mansion when she was three years old.
She was adopted and made the county head, and later she married into the Duke of Shou's palace with the legitimate daughter of the Nanwang Palace, who is now the wife of the Duke of Shou, and they are both equal wives."
"Both of them are equal wives, then..." There is still a huge difference between the equal wife and the legitimate wife. Yifang was confused as to why the dignified Nanwang Palace would marry off his two daughters to become equal wives.
Dou Zunian saw Yifang's doubts and explained: "The person proposed by Duke Shou was our aunt Hua Piaoyu, but King Nan wanted his direct daughter to marry him, so he made this decision and married the two.
All the daughters were married into Duke Shou's palace. If someone gave birth to a legitimate son, he would be regarded as his legitimate wife. However, after several years, no one gave birth to a legitimate son. After Mrs. Shou gave birth to Concubine Zhen,
She is physically weak, and our aunt, for some reason, keeps getting pregnant but has miscarriages."
Seeing the sneer on Dou Zunian's lips, Yi Fang certainly understood that the so-called ignorance of the cause of the miscarriage actually meant that he knew clearly that it was the work of Mrs. Shou Guo! These dirty things, as children of aristocratic families, they
, I couldn’t have seen more.
"Later, when Duke Shou's wife took one of her own sisters to Duke Shou's house, she had the so-called legitimate son, and my aunt finally got pregnant. At that time, the legitimate wife already had an owner. She was arrogant and struggled for a long time.
, gave birth to Ming Zhen'er and died in childbirth. I inquired about the news and found out that Duke Shou was really affectionate towards our aunt and included Ming Zhen'er in his family tree.
Some past events, I don’t know why, the name of the direct descendant is empty, but Concubine Zhen’s name has never entered the ancestral hall of a famous family. Therefore, Mrs. Shou Guogong would have a banquet with famous elders to discuss the matter every year during the sacrifice, but she always paid attention to it.
Even after Concubine Zhen entered the palace and occupied a high position, Duke Shou, who was a direct descendant, refused to let go of Concubine Zhen's entry into the ancestral hall, and even made an oath in front of famous elders. The daughter of Duke Shou's wife
, will never be included in the family tree." After Dou Zunian finished speaking, he scratched the lid of the tea in his hand, and a slight smile escaped from the corners of his lips.
Yi Fang looked at his half-smiling look and pursed his lips.
"So that's the case. I thought that Concubine Zhen must be the apple of Duke Shou's palace. I didn't expect that Duke Shou was not as caring about her as people said..."
Daughters that you truly love will not be sent to the palace. Even if you marry them separately and marry them for the benefit of the family, as long as they are carefully selected and supported by the power of your natal family, it will be thousands of times better than sending them to the palace.
.
The name Zhen'er was eighteen years old, and she was not too young among the noble girls of the Great Xia family. It was only at this time that Duke Shou sent her to prison when Concubine Zhen had caused great trouble and the famous family was in ruins.
As a noble person in the palace, the situation must be irreversible. So she reluctantly made a decision. Otherwise, even if it is a rare commodity, the famous treasure should have been given to her at the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, but not only did she not see it at the Hundred Flowers Banquet,
Ming Zhen'er was rarely heard even from the mouths of the noble ladies who paid their respects. This shows that Duke Shou really held this daughter in the palm of his hand and hid it in his boudoir, making up his mind to take care of her.
protected.
Judging from the expressions on Ming Zhen'er and Li Roufu's greetings that day, Ming Zhen'er was obviously much more forthright than Li Roufu.
However, Ming Zhen'er is actually the daughter of an aunt. Even if she is an adopted aunt, she is still related to her by blood. It seems that it is a bit difficult to act with the same ruthlessness as before...
As soon as he thought of the word difficulty, a cold light flashed in Yifang's eyes...
At this moment, she would think that after knowing Ming Zhen'er's identity, she would be a little reluctant to take action. Did the famous family know her thoughts and send Ming Zhen'er to the palace?
Perhaps the original intention of the famous family to send Ming Zhen'er to the palace was not because Ming Zhen'er looked similar to her, but because she was betting that she would show mercy after knowing Ming Zhen'er's life experience. In this way, Ming Zhen'er would have the opportunity to be close to Xia Xia.
Jie, a chance to soar into the sky!
What a powerful strategy!
If she were in the past, she would indeed hesitate, but now that she has entered the palace, even her biological sisters cannot expect her to be merciful!
She wanted to keep her love, Xia Jie, and her status, and she would not tolerate any more attempts to test her heart!
A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and in Yifang's heart, he already had a vague intention of making a decision about Ming Zhen'er. If he continues to make decisions, he will surely suffer chaos.
Maybe she should arrange another place for Ming Zhen'er to go, so that Ming Zhen'er doesn't have to pay the price of losing her head and body, and it can also make famous people no longer dare to look down on her!
Since you can't conquer some people, you can only make them completely afraid of you.
Just as he was thinking this, the sound of voices could be heard faintly from outside.
"Mr. Dou, what's wrong with you..."
"Hurry and report to your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened to the old lady in front..."
"How good is this? Madam is still lying on the bed..."
"What are you talking about? Why don't you go in quickly..."
The conversation between Manager Dou and the little maid had not yet ended. Dou Zunian opened the door with a swipe and stood there with a stern and gloomy look on his face: "What happened to the old lady!"
Manager Dou did not dare to hide anything and said tremblingly: "The old lady has been poisoned." After thinking about it, he hurriedly added, "It is said to be the same poison as Madam."
"It's poison again!"
Yi Fang, who was sitting inside, heard this and stood up from his chair. He couldn't believe it. At this time, when the Dou family was so tightly guarded, the old lady would still be poisoned, and it was the same poison as her mother.
!Who is he? He is so powerful. If he can really come and go freely in the Dou family and succeed in dealing with whomever he wants, then tomorrow, she and her brother will be lying in bed cold! When will the Dou family,
It has become a place where people can eat and drink at will!
Dou Zunian's face was as frozen as ice. A terrible thought had already appeared in his mind. Could it be that that person was just as the emperor expected! He was really hiding in the Dou family! Moreover, he was an important figure in the Dou family. Otherwise, how could he get close to him?
In the inner courtyard, why did you get close to the old lady, and why did you successfully poison...
If that person has really been lurking in the Dou family, then many things in recent years can be explained clearly, why that person can come and go as he pleases, why the emperor had a great deal of interest in the Dou family from the beginning, and even at the beginning
Bringing Yi Fang into the palace was also related to finding out the secrets of the Dou family. However, even the emperor and the late emperor tried their best to find this person. Even if the emperor spent the past two years in the Dou family painstakingly investigating, he could not find out.
If you find this person, can he really do it?
If it cannot be done, this cancerous tumor in the Dou family is vaguely showing signs of provocation. How should he, the young master of the Dou family, deal with it!
poison!
poison!
poison!
Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
Dou Zunian's mind was buzzing, and he felt that he had never been more difficult than at this moment.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Yi Fang, who also had a solemn face, his heart beating like a drum.
We can't go on like this. If it's really the fault of that person, he has now attacked the old lady who knows the secrets of the Dou family, which proves that he can no longer hold back and wants to find out that thing. Otherwise, is there something wrong?
In terms of demonstration, now in the Dou family, the person who can best demonstrate and provoke is none other than Yifang...
Yifang's identity, importance to the emperor, and importance to the Dou family are all important bargaining chips. We must not let anything happen to Yifang in the Dou family. Even if that person has great hands and eyes, we cannot let Yifang have any problems in the Dou family.
Danger, otherwise the Dou family will be in danger...
At this juncture, Dou Zunian had to abandon his personal emotions and thought coldly about the overall situation of life and death.
If Yifang is in danger in the Dou family, I am afraid that the emperor will tear everyone in the Dou family alive. What's more, it is safest for Yifang only if he returns to the palace and is protected in the palace.
Calculating the gains and losses in his mind, Dou Zunian did not bother to explain to Yifang, but stepped forward and said: "Wei minister, please ask the empress to move back to the palace as soon as possible."
It rained heavily, and the water flooded up to my knees... I just got the call, and I tried my best to catch up, but I only managed to catch up a little bit. I'm sorry. I heard that there will be many heavy rains recently. God, I just moved, and I found that this city is because of the urban area.
Flooding is on the news every day.
There will be an update tomorrow morning. I have coded more than one chapter now, and I will save it until 9:30. I will write more while the power network is fast.
