When Yifang slowly vented the resentment and worry accumulated in his heart, he put his arms around Xia Jie's neck and told Xia Jie almost word for word what Hua Piaoling told her in Douhou Mansion.
She tried her best to repeat the words as completely as possible. She always believed that Xia Jie's mind was sharper than hers. She didn't want Xia Jie to miss an important thing just because she missed a few words or a certain sentence.
clue.
Xia Jie held Yi Fang in his arms and listened to her words word by word. Sharp marks gradually appeared on the tips of her brows, which were like splashes of ink.
Until Yi Fang finished speaking, he tightened his hands, placed his chin on the top of Yi Fang's hair and slowly rubbed it a few times, remaining silent.
Yifang turned sideways and glanced at Xia Jie. She felt a little heavy in her heart. She didn't know what Xia Jie was thinking about, whether he decided to pursue this clue or to send someone secretly.
investigation?
She even didn't know how Xia Jie would deal with the Dou family and the Hua family.
She chose to go back to the palace to tell Xia Jie because of the love she felt for Xia Jie in her heart, and also for the love Xia Jie felt for her. She was confident that as long as she took the initiative to tell the truth, even if Xia Jie knew about Dou
The things that the old lady and the Hua family did behind his back would not really harm the two families.
For the benefit of the Dou family, Mrs. Dou secretly interacted with the prince. It was certainly a heinous crime, but Mrs. Dou was now dying. Xia Jie would not care about a dying old man. As for the Hua family, but
It is the crime of subordination. The Hua family has only a little knowledge of the past events in the palace. For the benefit of the Hua family, most of the information obtained by the mother's investigation was probably passed back to the Hua family. The Hua family just concealed and used it and did not participate. What's more, in the end, the mother
Telling her about the connection between Mrs. Dou and the prince, she believed that the Hua family must not know, otherwise, her mother would not leave this matter to her as the last resort. Since the Hua family is always in trouble
The most crucial point was not touched upon. She didn't believe that Xia Jie would really do anything to the Hua family.
But when she was sitting in the carriage and waiting in the palace, she thought so. But at this moment, seeing the unbreakable gloom between Xia Jie's brows, she lost her grip again.
"Mrs. Rongguo, are you really sure that the old lady is related to him?"
"yes."
"As expected, he has always been at Dou's house."
To Yifang's expectation, Xia Jie didn't feel too depressed. Even when Xia Jie came back from silence, there was a meaningful smile on the corners of his voluptuous and plump lips.
It was this faint smile that made Yifang feel that it was indeed a wise decision for him to take the initiative to tell him what happened today. At least, under certain circumstances, Xia Jie would take her initiative into consideration.
"Old lady, she..." Yifang didn't want to save Old lady Dou. Her memory of the old man who was about to die was too thin. The only thing she had was the face marked with the passage of time, and the traces of...
Just a strong and shrewd calculation.
However, she has always known that she needs the Dou family. If the Dou family breaks a taboo about Mrs. Dou and the whole family is destroyed, then in the future she will be in the palace, no matter how favored Xia Jie is, she can only live in the present.
There is no chance of success in this concubine's position. What good end can happen to the daughter of a guilty minister!
But when the words came to her lips, she felt that they were slang. She believed that Xia Jie would forgive her willfulness. No matter what methods she used in the palace and in the government and abroad to deal with her enemies, they would never be included in her.
Play tricks with him on this matter!
Just because that prince is the person Xia Jie hates to the core!
Her glazed amber eyes rolled in her eyes, and she changed her tone, "Your Majesty, do you want to take advantage of this moment to ask the old lady about her words? Otherwise,..."
Hearing the change in Yifang's title, Xia Jie's lips curled into a smile, and he knew what Yifang was thinking at this moment.
He had always suspected that the man was hiding in the Dou family. Otherwise, he would not have been so kind to the Dou family and looked at Yifang in a different light. However, he did not expect that Huajia could actually see clues from it, and the man who saw it
Mrs. Rong Guo, who seemed frail and frail, was able to pry out the biggest secret.
It would indeed be a good thing if Mrs. Dou could really reveal the whereabouts of that person, but...
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to the Dou family. Up to now, the old lady is just a dying person. Even your brother doesn't know about this matter. However, since the old lady can hide the secret
It has been so long. If I press and ask now, nothing else will come out. It is better to wait and see what happens."
"What do you mean..." Yifang turned her head and looked at Xia Jie with a little doubt in her eyes. She thought that after finally getting the news about that person, Xia Jie would be eager to pursue it. Who knows, he would actually
It was so calm, but Xia Jie's tone did not change at all, which made her feel relieved. Thinking about it, Xia Jie would not blame the Dou family for this matter. "You want to wait until the picture..."
Xia Jie laughed loudly, nuzzled Yi Fang with his nose, and then praised: "My Yi Fang is indeed unparalleled in intelligence, yes, what I want to wait for is that picture."
The expression on his face suddenly changed, and Xia Jie said solemnly: "That picture is my most important treasure in Daxia, and the Dou family also has a copy. Over the years, he has been working hard outside. I am 90% sure, and there are many
The key things have fallen into his hands. The ministers in the court look loyal on the surface, but Xia Yunshen and I are fighting for it. In fact, behind the scenes, most of them have reserved several escape routes for themselves, at least.
The things belonging to your Dou family must have been in his hands, otherwise, why do you think Mrs. Dou has gained his trust over the years!"
Xia Jie's expression was a bit sinister. He had been depressed and could not tolerate the fact that the imperial power had not been able to escape the threat arranged by the aristocratic family and the empress dowager over the years.
"Now that there are clues, and the part of the power in his hands that should have been returned long ago, I will never scare the snake. I want to wash away the humiliation for my mother, but the country is the most important!"
Xia Jie said the last four words with gnashing of teeth and bones with each word.
Yifang knew the strong resentment in Xia Jie's heart, and sighed quietly, not knowing how to persuade him. After all, it was the harm that Xia Jie witnessed when he was young. Over the years, he must have endured the humiliation and bear the burden, and he must have reached the extreme.
.
She just buried her head, curled up in Xia Jie's warm and comfortable arms, and said nothing. She did everything she could, and left the rest to Xia Jie to arrange.
On this day, Xia Jie was an exception. Instead of pestering Yi Fang to have a good night, Xia Jie hugged Yi Fang tightly. Just like that, the two of them entwined and hugged each other, and fell asleep until the first light of day the next day.
When the light shone into the window lattice, Xia Jie stood up, planted a kiss on Yi Fang's face, and then went straight out of the house to find Murong Yi.
My friends say it's a bit scattered these days, and I'm the one who's even slower. Alas, it looks incoherent... But the reality is that there's nothing I can do about it. Now that I can use code words to access the Internet, I'm very lucky.
