Dou Zunian hurriedly passed by a row of maids holding white cloths in their hands. His thick black eyebrows were twisted into a tight arc, and the knots that could not be resolved were tangled together. His whole face was filled with worries that were thick and difficult to disperse.
He walked a little fast, guessing over and over again in his mind why Yi Fang came back at this time. When he saw a few familiar faces in front of him, he took a deep breath and came to stand in front of Cui'er.
.
"Where's the empress?"
Cui'er pointed to the room behind her and said respectfully: "Sir, your Majesty is waiting inside."
Dou Zunian hummed. The moment he stepped into the room, he looked around. When he discovered that this room seemed to be separated from the hall where he had just stayed by a small courtyard, it was actually the same as the one where the old lady lived.
When the room was only separated by a wall, his eyebrows twitched unnaturally. The incident he accidentally discovered when he and Yi Fang were searching for food in the Dou family mansion when they were young came to mind. He rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.
, walked heavily inside.
"elder brother……"
Yi Fang held a cup of tea in her hand. Her heart was beating rapidly. A conspiracy or a guess was about to be confirmed. This heavy sense of oppression made her almost breathless.
She originally wanted to go directly to the old lady, or directly ask someone to catch Dou Zuping in front of him. On the way out of the palace, she even thought that she would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. Even though Dou Zuping was not the prince,
She had to catch him first. The Bi family was good at using poison, and the prince was also good at using poison. Then she asked the guards in the palace to catch him and let Murong Yi come forward. Even if the prince had three heads and six arms, she didn't believe it.
, surrounded by many people, he was still able to escape.
But soon, she gave up such an idea. It was not difficult to accuse Dou Zuping of a crime. It was not difficult to take him down justifiably. What was rare was that after such a big fanfare, it was inevitable that many people would seize the opportunity to jump out and take him down.
She was also involved. Even within the Dou family, this kind of behavior would be greatly criticized. After all, Dou Zuping was once the purest legitimate son of the Dou family! If Dou Zuping is really not the prince, or he refuses to admit it to death, then what?
What should I do? Kill him. What should I do with the things in his hands? Let the jade seal and the royal wealth wander outside like this. I am afraid that Xia Jie will not be stable in his life. Moreover, this prince has such a plan, but here he is.
She exposed her identity so easily once and was seen by a girl. What if... it was another trap? This incident, from beginning to end, was just her bold guess. It was after Xia Jie and her brother both believed that the prince was hiding.
At the Dou family, her mother told her the speculation that the old lady was related to the prince, but there was no evidence. Moreover, if Dou Zuping was really a member of the Dou family, he was just the prince's.
subordinates, but she went over hastily, messed up the overall situation, and let the people behind her go. What should I do?
Therefore, before his identity was confirmed, there must have been a lot of fanfare.
But if Yi Fang were to go find Dou Zuping alone, she would not be able to rest assured. She was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If her guess was true, Dou Zuping was really a prince, and if she went to find Dou Zuping by herself, she would probably become a sharp weapon in the hands of the other party.
Use it to deal with Xia Jie.
After thinking about it, I couldn't care less about my mother's last words. Anyway, I already told Xia Jie, so I'm not afraid to tell my dear brother again!
In the flash of lightning, Yi Fang's thoughts had already turned around thousands of times in an instant. When she saw Dou Zunian come in, without waiting for him to ask questions, she first said everything Hua Piaoling told her before she died, and then ignored the confusion on Dou Zunian's face.
With a look of daring belief, he revealed the report of the maid in Prince Lian's palace and his own guess.
"You said Dou Zuping is him, this..." Dou Zunian had an obvious look of suspicion on his face. It's not that he didn't believe Yi Fang, this sister had been much more perceptive than him since he was a child, but this matter was really unbelievable.
Some.
Dou Zuping, that playboy, in his eyes has become more and more useless for so many years, and in the blink of an eye, he has turned into a man with deep scheming, who has all of them in his hands. It is really unbelievable.
But on the other hand, for so long, he has received the emperor's order, and together with the power of the Murong family in the world, he has almost turned the entire world upside down. Even the Murong family has invested a lot of money in the barbarian countries outside the Great Wall.
The prince's manpower and material resources were as erratic as a gust of wind.
Especially in the past year, major events have occurred in the capital one after another. Many things, they speculated, are related to the prince. No matter how strategizing he is, these major events require him to be in charge of the capital. Otherwise, it is just communication.
The news came too late, which also showed that the prince was indeed in the capital.
He is hiding in the city. Perhaps it is because he is not only under their eyes, but also living in their breath. He uses an identity that ordinary people are least likely to suspect, so they try their best to find him!
This matter, no matter how likely it is, must be confirmed!
After thinking for a short time, Dou Zunian made the same decision as Yifang. However, when he looked at the thin wall in the room, a gleam of shock burst out from his eyes.
The corners of his mouth moved, and he spat out a sentence viciously, "Does Yi Fang still want to go find her and question her? In my opinion, we might as well just arrest Dou Zuping."
Yifang sighed softly. In order to explain everything clearly, she told her brother that the old lady had poisoned her mother. According to her brother's temperament, it was very difficult for the old lady to die immediately because of her filial piety.
I can't take action, but asking my brother to go to see the old lady calmly is really...
But there are still many things they don't know about this matter. It can't be solved by just killing Dou Zuping. The old lady must ask questions.
Yifang moved two steps and walked to the wall facing the door. He rubbed his fingers on a gilt vase with a sky blue pattern after the rain. His eyes darkened, he exhaled, and turned his hand gently to the left.
Turning around, with the sound of bones rattling, the wall on the other side opened, and through a gap wide enough for one person, I happened to see a large mahogany bed. The woman lying on the bed, with pale hair and a withered face, was exactly the one who had been hit.
Poisonous old lady.
The mechanism of this house is that Dou Zunian accidentally came across Yifang when she was hungry when she was young. Dou Zunian carried her and ran around the house looking for some food.
"Speaking of which, this courtyard is also in the inner house. It is very close to the small courtyard where we used to live. It has always been remote and no one comes here. We didn't know it when we came here. It is connected to the house of the ancestors of the Dou family. We also thought
"Now, I finally understand why a small courtyard that no one has ever set foot in is kept so clean all the time, and there is still food to eat. Now I finally understand it, and I didn't expect it to come in handy." Yifang's words are prefaced by this.
The words he said made Dou Zunian feel sour in his heart. He was ignorant back then and accidentally contacted the agency. How could he still not understand now? Thinking of all the causes and consequences, this small courtyard that no one paid attention to might be what the old lady wanted to do back then.
It was prepared by contacting the prince.
The old lady couldn't leave the house easily. She could only wait for the prince to come over to discuss things in the dead of night. This courtyard was very remote and uninhabited. It was really the best place. It was not easy to go directly to the old lady's house.
It arouses suspicion. But after all, it is a place where the prince often comes and goes, so the old lady will have people clean it from time to time, and even prepare drinking water and food.
Some trivial details back then revealed the dirtiest secrets in this deep compound.
Dou Zunian clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot. If he had thought of this house, these details earlier, and found out about the old lady earlier, his mother would not have died!
Regret was like a snake gnawing at the heart, but in the end, Dou Zunian pulled out his foot first and passed through the gap.
Yifang glanced behind him and saw that the door had already been closed by Cui'er. Confident that there would be no problem, he followed Dou Zunian.
I have given you more than 400 words, and I hope you all enjoy reading it. There may be some abuse later on, because the plot requires it, and there will be some accidents in Yifang, so please don’t film me.
