Seeing that the visitor was Concubine Zhen, her words disappeared into the air. Xia Jie Danfeng's raised eyes narrowed almost unnoticeably, and he regained his composure. He lowered his head and gently patted Yi, who was struggling again in his arms because Concubine Zhen suddenly spoke.
Fang, said calmly: "Why is my concubine here?"
Seeing that Xia Jie paid so much attention to Yi Fang in his arms, Concubine Zhen pulled out a smile and said closer, "I heard that Concubine Yi's sister encountered a snake in Longyang Palace, so I came here specifically to visit Concubine Yi's sister.
"
Xia Jie raised his head, and Concubine Zhen's expression was revealed in front of him under the backlight.
Her elegant face still had a peaceful look, just like how she usually did when she entered the palace. Regarding Yi Fang in her arms, she did not show any hypocritical worry like other concubines who loved to play, nor did she show any false concern.
There is no hidden schadenfreude. Concubine Zhen's face is more plain, just the right amount of plain.
But at this time, Xia Jie did not appreciate Concubine Zhen's true expression as usual. This was because he did not miss Concubine Zhen's undisguised panic when she first looked at him, nor did he miss Concubine Zhen's expression when she walked past.
He paused slightly when he was next to several palace ladies guarding Lan Tang Pavilion.
When some small traces are connected together, the effect of this crack is often huge and incomparable.
In fact, even if Xia Jie didn't need to look at the traces revealed by Concubine Zhen, after he slowly began to calm down after rescuing Yifang, the first person he suspected was Concubine Zhen.
Longyang Palace is heavily guarded and is the residence of the Emperor. Apart from Concubine Zhen, who has been in charge of the harem for ten years, who has such ability and layout, who else can bribe the people of Longyang Palace, and who has the courage! But, Xia
Jie was just suspicious. He had not had time to investigate, and he had not yet remembered to interrogate these people. However, Concubine Zhen's arrival in such a hurry just aroused the deepest part of Xia Jie's suspicion.
In the past, when the palace concubine had something to do, although Concubine Zhen would rush over to deal with it, she had never come so quickly. Even if it was someone she recommended, even if it was someone who had been favored for a long time, Concubine Zhen would go first to understand the whole story to ensure that she could
Handle things fairly and leave no excuses. Concubine Zhen has always been very cautious.
But this time, less than half an hour after he carried Yi Fang out of Lan Tang Pavilion, Concubine Zhen, who had been ill in bed for a long time, actually rushed across half of the harem.
Xia Jie sneered in his heart, covered up the sparkle in his eyes, and just made a faint sound in reply to what Concubine Zhen said.
Concubine Zhen was a little confused. Xia Jie had always had extraordinary trust in her. This trust made Xia Jie's attitude toward her different from other concubines. Why was she so indifferent this time? She was worried about Dou Yifang.
So I didn't understand her, but I still had doubts about her.
If you are suspicious, you should clear it up as soon as possible. Although you are convinced that there is no clue left, you still have to be more careful. If it is for this woman Dou Yifang!
A sharp sword-like gaze was aimed at Yifang, who kept mumbling. When he saw Xia Jie raising his head and looking down, he quickly retracted. However, Concubine Zhen's determination to get rid of Yifang became even stronger!
