In the Zichen Palace, Zheng Jifu finished saluting Emperor Yongning, and said with concern: "Father, you must be the dragon body, and the third emperor brother is ......."

She paused, as if she didn't know what to say.

Emperor Yongning glanced at her, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Changding, what have you heard?"

He wasn't a young man after all, he had been disturbed too late last night, and he looked very tired.

Zheng Ji replied with a smile: "Well, I heard that my father summoned the crown prince and the third emperor brother overnight, and I also heard my father's will......

She couldn't pretend that she didn't know anything about the Zichen Palace last night, but she couldn't pretend to know the details of the Zichen Palace.

In fact, it is a crisis.

She seemed to think about it, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Father, the third emperor brother just likes to eat, drink and have fun, I'm afraid I can't change it, father...... Why are you so angry? Yinzhou, I heard that there are poor mountains and bad waters......

"Changding, don't you really know why I'm angry?" Emperor Yongning said softly.

Zheng Ji was stunned: "Father, what are you talking about? If I had known why you were angry, I would have scolded the Third Emperor Brother a long time ago."

She blurted out these words, looking ignorant and natural, as if she really didn't understand what was going on.

Emperor Yongning's fingers tapped on the imperial table, and he said slowly, "The third brother, he wants to murder me, he ...... it."

"Impossible! Father, the Third Emperor Brother would not have done this!" Zheng Ji said categorically, and even interrupted Emperor Yongning's words.

"Oh? Why can't it be?"

Zheng Ji looked up at him and replied as a matter of course, "Father, isn't this obvious? The third emperor brother can only eat, drink and have fun, where did he get the heart to murder his father? Besides......

She lowered her voice, but said quickly, "The Third Emperor Brother doesn't have that brain!"

After that, she hurriedly added: "Father, I didn't mean that the third emperor brother was stupid, that is...... I just don't think it's possible."

Very good!

Emperor Yongning completely understood that in Changding's mind, the third child was a stupid person.

Because of his stupidity, he will not be murdered.

After all, to murder a person, especially a modern emperor, requires extraordinary intellect and extraordinary means.

And neither of these two, the third child does not.

Before this, Emperor Yongning had never thought about this question, and at this moment, his mind was ticked.

The third child, could it be like this?

Before entering the palace, Zheng Ji had already thought about it, and this time he wanted to say something for King Yi.

She didn't want to protect King Yi, in fact, when she thought of the things that King Yi had done and the Zhou family in her previous life, she hated it extremely much.

Yiwangfu can be defeated, it can fall, but it can't be now.

Even though her father has decreed that King Yi will be imprisoned in Shannan Road, it does not mean that she wants to dissociate herself from King Yi.

King Yi, Concubine Zhou and the Zhou family have been operating among Jingzhao and scholars for so many years, and there are always some unknown forces.

These forces can block the power of the prince, and they invisibly buy her time.

"Moreover, why did the Third Emperor Brother do this? There is a folk saying that a father and mother's child is like a treasure. With our father, we can live happily. Anyway, that's what I think, and the Third Emperor Brother is probably about the same."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment, as if she had let go: "Father, the crown prince is a very good brother, but I ...... I don't like to be called "the eldest princess."

After that, she frowned and said coquettishly, "Father, don't be angry with me."

What she said now can really be regarded as a big rebellion.

When will others call her the eldest princess? It must be after Emperor Yongning and the crown prince ascended the throne!

Who would dare to say such words? That is, she, the much-loved eldest princess of Changding, dared to say it.

When Emperor Yongning heard this, instead of getting angry, he laughed out loud and pointed at Zheng Ji with his finger: "Changding, you, you......"

Xue Gong stood beside Emperor Yongning, his expression was as respectful and docile as ever, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Listen to what His Royal Highness Changding said!

The so-called high place is unbearable, the emperor sits in this position, killing everyone, which one speaks without trembling and considering again and again?

Only His Royal Highness Changding will speak without scruples.

Behind this unscrupulousness, all that is reflected is trust, and what is leaked is sincerity.

Trust and sincerity, for the emperor who has everything, it is also a scarce thing.

If you get rid of all kinds of balance concerns, among all the princes and princesses, the emperor's favorite must be His Royal Highness Changding.

Isn't that the case right now?

Originally, the emperor summoned His Royal Highness Changding to inquire about the death of Lord Cheng and the visit of Lord Dou, but His Royal Highness Changding just said such a thing, and the emperor was happy.

Even the emperor is like this, so it is normal for him to be a small chief of the chamberlain, and there is nothing he can do in the face of His Royal Highness Changding.

Listening to Emperor Yongning's laughter, Zheng Ji's eyes were dazed, but his heart was determined a lot.

Sure enough, if you want to break the suspicion of your father, you can only use the method of family affection.

The royal family has no family affection, which is an iron law in almost everyone's hearts, but family affection is the best weapon to use.

This truth was realized by Zheng Ji in the tribulations of his previous life.

While Emperor Yongning was happy, Zheng Ji opened his mouth and asked, "Father, what are you summoning me to the palace for?"

It should be that King Yi's Mansion and the crown prince are involved in her, but I don't know what's going on.

Emperor Yongning's smile narrowed a little, and then asked, "I heard that Dou Shi has come to visit you?"

"Yes, it's for Lord Cheng's death." Zheng Ji replied generously, not feeling the need to hide it at all.

She explained, "Father, Dou Shiyuan came from afar to thank me. It turned out that Dou Shiyuan's grandfather and Cheng Yong actually had a personal grudge, did his father know about these things?"

Dou Shiyuan's grandfather Dou Qi and Cheng Yong had a dispute many years ago, and there were many discords between the two in the court, which Dou Shiyuan said.

This was originally to deal with the rhetoric outside, but I didn't expect it to be used here by my father.

Then, King Yi and the crown prince must have mentioned Dou Shiyuan last night, which should be related to Deng Wuwu.

No wonder, Feng Chenwei went to the Dou family to search for something, but since it affected the Dou family, why was the Dou family still safe?

Zheng Ji was puzzled, but he couldn't verify it.

At this time, she was actually not in a hurry, because the thing she wanted to verify the most already had an answer.

After learning that King Yi was taken away by Feng Chenwei, she knew that the crown prince had struck first—the half of the plant in her hand was worry-free, and she didn't have to risk using it on her father.

She originally wanted to use this half of the plant to make King Yi and the prince face each other, but she didn't expect that the prince had the same plan!

The crown prince has been rooted in the court for many years, and his power is greater than her, so he can be one step ahead of her.

But......

Since the crown prince has taken the lead, why is she still safe and sound now? What happened in the Zichen Hall last night?
