Chapter 68: Wading in Troubled Waters
But now she has no choice, as long as she can protect the Guogong Mansion, what about seeking skin with the tiger?
Xia Jinnian's deep eyes suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel suffocated.
Ji Yuanxun stared at her for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said, "Could it be that you were also with him last night!" Obviously, there is no doubt in this sentence, and there is a bit of anger in the back.
Ji Qiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Dad doesn't know, yesterday my daughter went to the warehouse mentioned by Lotus to count, but she didn't think about it, but she was attacked by a man in black, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Qi protecting her daughter, she might be lying unconscious on the bed now is her daughter." ”
Ji Yuanxun looked a little moved when he heard this, and said, "Then where are you hurt?" ”
"My daughter is fine." Ji Qiang shook her head, "It's all thanks to His Royal Highness King Qi." With that, he tentatively glanced at Ji Yuanxun's face.
Ji Yuanxun is not an unreasonable person, although he has never had a good impression of Xia Jinnian, but for the sake of him saving Ji Qiang, it has also changed slightly.
"It's good that I didn't let your mother know about it, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to make a fuss again." Ji Yuanxun snorted lightly, and his tone softened.
Seeing that his face was slightly better, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then slowly told Ji Yuanxun what he found in the jewelry shop.
And the more Ji Yuanxun listened, the more his face sank, and his heart was full of bad thoughts, "What you said is true?" ”
Ji Qiang nodded, and put the red tassel that she had been holding on the table, Ji Yuanxun recognized it at a glance, and his face changed even more.
This red tassel was lost when he returned to Beijing seven years ago, but now it exists in a good manner.
The warehouse went to the water for no reason, not to mention how soft the gold and silver were, now Ji Qiang has just taken over the princess's mansion, so it is so coincidental, and the red tassel when the march was found in it, this looks like someone is deliberately setting up a situation.
And this ultimate goal is towards him.
But since that day seven years ago, he has been cautious, cautious in his words and deeds, and does not participate in partisan battles in the court, for fear of making a wrong step, and now he is still being targeted.
He had also heard about the matter of Chi Yan back then, and when this happened, he was already walking on thin ice when he went to Beijing to resume his post.
In addition, he was urgently summoned to the palace last night, I am afraid that the emperor has already noticed something, he has never had a grudge against Xie Yu, but now he is impeached at this time, which is really unreasonable.
As far as he knew, Xie Yu was not a dull and reckless person.
His Majesty used this matter to beat him, I am afraid that he also wanted to say that some people were interested in the power that the Duke of the Kingdom was in now.
The affairs of the Guogong Mansion have always been low-key, Ji Qiang has just been titled, and he will be remembered by people when he shows his edge, for fear that he will become a threat through this, and someone in the court will definitely suppress and target. Love books
However, on weekdays, I try my best to avoid partisanship, and now that I think about it, I don't know who is targeting it for a while.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanxun couldn't help but sigh secretly and rubbed his eyebrows.
"My daughter only thinks this is very strange, I don't know if my father has a clue?" Ji Qiang asked tentatively.
A hint of darkness flashed in Ji Yuanxun's eyes, and he pursed his lips and said, "I haven't had much contact with the minister in the court on weekdays. ”
"You must know that the matter of the year was in an uproar, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, let me help the Dali Temple Qing at that time to find out the truth, and at that time I only knew that the group of thieves that the Eighth Prince met when he returned to Beijing was very skilled, and the scene was handled cleanly, leaving no signs of half a point, and the gold and silver were all taken away, and the whereabouts were unknown, and the only clue was only a pebble-sized shark tear found from the body of the Eighth Prince.
At that time, there were really few clues, and after the last year was over, Dali Siqing did not find out the truth, and His Majesty demoted him to Hezhou in anger, but did not blame others. The matter was hastily concluded, and it didn't matter what the truth was. ”
Ji Yuanxun said slowly, his tone was far away, and his eyes also drifted into the distance, and after speaking, he sighed, and turned to look at Ji Qiang, "It was also from there that the Guogong Mansion reined in its edge and was cautious and low-key, just for fear that one day someone would take advantage of the topic and implicate hundreds of people in the Guogong Mansion." ”
Ji Qiang met the complicated look in his eyes, bitter in her heart, in her previous life, she only regarded Ji Yuanxun as a stubborn and timid person, looking forward and backward, dissatisfied with Xia Chengmu's many things, and didn't want to get involved.
But he quarreled with Ji Yuanxun several times about this, and even forced him to fight with his life.
Now that I think about it, I don't know how stupid I was, and I ended up making a wedding dress for others.
Ji Qiang exhaled deeply, suppressed the thousands of thoughts in her heart, wiped the corners of her red eyes, and said softly: "Father's concerns, my daughter knows, but now the situation does not allow us to be silent anymore." The court is changing rapidly, whether it is morning or night, the Guogong Mansion has this calamity, no matter how cautious and cautious we are, the eyes in the dark are always difficult to prevent, rather than this, it is better to strike preemptively, so that the people in the shadows have nowhere to hide. ”
After saying this, Ji Yuanxun looked at her with a little surprise and approval in his eyes, when did his daughter start to think so well?
Ji Yuanxun looked at her gentle and sharp eyebrows, and finally showed a smile, "Qiang'er is right, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and we can't resist the villain's cold arrow behind the back of these years if we are cautious, this is the robbery of the Guogong Mansion, if you can't hide it, then let the horse come." Speaking of the back, there was a bit of solemnity in his tone.
Ji Qiang listened to what he said, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, revealing a shallow smile, as if she had thought of something, and frowned slightly: "E-Niang's body has improved recently?" ”
"The doctor saw it two days ago, and his body is fine, but it is difficult to fall asleep when he hears about you, and he has been drinking soothing soup to fall asleep recently." Ji Yuanxun took a sip of tea, "Now that the Guogong Mansion has been pushed to the forefront, Bai'er is sick and weak, and your mother is also worried, this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, you just need to keep an eye on the princess's mansion, and leave the matter of the court to me." ”
The words were full of the intention of not wanting her to get involved in the fight, but now in this troubled water, who can be alone?
Aunt Du's side Xi'er is not afraid of any big problems, the poisonous Gu has failed, but she must not give up, if Aunt Du and Gu Hanyan Dog jump off the wall in a hurry, they are impatient, and they will kill the Bai family, she is afraid that the far water will not be able to save the near fire, the sooner the matter here is resolved, the sooner she can return home.
Looking at Ji Yuanxun, who was over half a year old, his mind flashed the appearance of his tragic death in his previous life, his heart tightened, and the hand in his sleeve was also clenched a little.
This time, she would never let what happened in her previous life happen again.
