Chapter 169: The Secret (3rd Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"The prince is looking for me, I don't know what to discuss?"
Seeing this, Ye Nianchen didn't go around, and asked directly.
As far as she knew, Li Zhi should not be in the capital these days, but went out to the capital to handle a big case, and it seems that he has just rushed back.
"I'm not in the capital these days, and I've heard that a lot of things have happened, all of which are related to your Ye family." Li Zhiwei smiled, his spirit was a little weak, but he was obviously in a very good mood.
He drank tea and asked about Ye Feng's bad luck, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Let's put it this way, you must know the relationship between me and the second prince best, in fact, your father and even the entire Ye family have already sided with the second prince, and Tan Zhen is my person." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhi's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Ye Nianchen listened, first was silent for a moment, and then nodded calmly: "I can understand the prince's words, I don't know what these have to do with your invitation to meet me today?" ”
Tan Zhen is Li Zhi's person, Ye Nianchen was not sure about this before, but he had a little guess.
In the final analysis, the battle for the phase is not only a dispute over the future of a certain official, but also involves the victory or loss of the forces to which the Northern Queens belong, which is certainly very important.
For example, why did Ye Feng feel that he would be sure of his promotion in the past?
That is because he knows in his heart that he not only has the help of Princess Zhaohua and the Empress Dowager Jiang, but also the support of the second prince and the Jiang family and surrounding forces behind the second prince.
It's just that in the end, I didn't expect that the bad thing was worse than the seemingly insignificant little thing next to me!
And in the final analysis, the struggle for power is no small matter at all. Both sides are sparing no effort to find each other's handles, how can Tan Zhen be idle?
It was by taking advantage of this that Ye Nianchen deliberately asked people to reveal a few so-called small things of the Ye family that could directly determine the final result to some people who might need it, and then those people could not get the news at all, and the small things eventually became the key to the big things of the bad guys.
It's just that Ye Nianchen didn't expect that Li Zhi would take the initiative to tell her Tan Zhen's foundation, after all, this speculation and affirmative admission are completely different things.
And Tan Zhen has always been very well concealed in the court, and it seems that he never participates in the party, is neutral in the court, and is only loyal to the emperor. Nothing else matters.
Such people. In itself, it is much more reassuring than Ye Feng in front of the emperor. It is estimated that there are very few people who can know Tan Zhen's true identity.
This can also be said to be a hole card in Li Zhi's hand, and it is easy to turn over the hole cards to her, which must not be so simple.
Seeing the undisguised doubts on Ye Nianchen's face. Li Zhi said unhurriedly: "This phase dispute. It is extremely important to me. Originally, the odds weren't too great. Because Empress Dowager Jiang and the entire Jiang family have indeed invested a lot of money. And the connection between me and Tan Zhen is inconvenient to reveal too early, because there are many things that I am not convenient to do. ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi looked at Ye Nianchen and smiled softly: "So." This time I have to thank you for my life, if it weren't for your help, now the second prince has another extremely important phase help in his hands. ”
"Thank me? The prince said that he was joking, right? Ye Nianchen's face remained unchanged, with an incomprehensible look, and he did not recognize the meaning of Li Zhi's words.
At the same time, she couldn't help but be a little alert in her heart, this kind of thing can be guessed by the prince, so gradually others may also guess.
Moreover, the further back she goes, the greater the suspicion on her body, and many things will not be able to hide when she wants to.
However, if things continue to develop, there will come a day, and Ye Nianchen is not too worried, but he has to be more prepared for some unexpected things to happen, and it is better to take precautions as soon as possible.
Seeing that Ye Nianfa didn't admit it, Li Zhi was not displeased, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, in short, I know in my heart that this time Tan Zhen and they can grasp Ye Feng's handle and make a fuss, and there must be your credit in the middle." No matter what your purpose is, it turns out to be a real help to me and a benefit to me, so you don't have to be too polite to thank you. ”
The prince also said it clearly enough, in fact, he had already understood that Ye Nianchen's return to Beijing after fifteen years was definitely not so simple, but at first it was just a guess, but now, it is more and more certain.
This girl obviously knew much more about the old things fifteen years ago than he thought, and when she thought about it, after beating her back to Beijing, all her every move, everything happened actively or passively, but the final result was to make Princess Zhaohua and the entire Ye family unhappy, so that the death of her mother and brother resurfaced in front of everyone and kept developing.
"How to understand these things, this is the right of His Royal Highness, apart from this matter, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any other important matters to discuss?" Seeing this, Ye Nianfa didn't deny it anymore but didn't admit it, in front of smart people, some things are actually the same whether they say or not.
"Nianchen ......" The prince paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment of silence, he finally continued to ask: "What I want to say is that I have investigated some inside information about the death of your mother and brother fifteen years ago. Maybe you don't know as much as you know, but you also understand that their deaths back then had nothing to do with Princess Zhaohua's marriage into the Ye family. ”
Li Zhi looked at Ye Nianchen and said word by word: "You don't have to speak, just listen to me, I don't understand the ugliness of the royal family less than you know." Princess Zhaohua met Ye Feng by chance in the palace back then, and it is said that it was love at first sight. It's just that at that time, Ye Feng had already married your biological mother and gave birth to your brother and you. ”
"Princess Zhaohua's identity is different after all, whether it is herself or the face of the royal family, it is absolutely impossible to marry into the Ye family as a concubine. So no one was optimistic about this matter from the beginning, and slowly Princess Zhaohua's mind seemed to fade, and she no longer mentioned Ye Feng, and took the initiative to cooperate with Concubine Jiang and my father, ready to choose a concubine. ”
Hearing this, Ye Nianchen couldn't help but directly meet the prince's gaze and interrupted: "Since the prince has bothered to find the old books for so many years, then some things will make me dare to guess later." ”
Ye Nianchen's face didn't have any expression, and he didn't see the slightest hesitation, and he didn't need Li Zhi's response, so he said like a play: "Just when everyone thought that Princess Zhaohua really didn't have any thoughts about Ye Feng anymore, or that there could be no more connection between Ye Feng and Princess Zhaohua, one day Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly told the emperor privately that Princess Zhaohua was pregnant with Ye Feng's flesh and blood......"
