Chapter 224: The Mastermind Is You
Emperor Chengde: ......
He didn't even know that this child was a lover.
"Father, don't worry, Xiyan is a good one. Even though she had some secrets, even though she might not know where I was, she never approached me. I didn't inform her about the proposal in advance, and she didn't know about it. It was I who first fell in love with her, and I was sick and unworthy of her. Does Father think that your son is really so good that it is worth her trouble to approach me? Zhou Du shook his head.
The Gu Xiyan he knew was simple and kind, and he had never treated him with any temperament, nor had he made any demands on him.
However, after being reminded by his father, he found that Gu Xiyan may have more secrets than he knew.
This girl, he will have to understand it carefully in the future.
"That's it, whatever you want, you won't be able to find a second sunset after all." Emperor Chengde didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore.
Although this kid grew up in the Fallen Immortal Temple, his scheming is not bad, and his vision is impossible to be bad, both of which have his true inheritance.
Even so, what else did he bother to do?
However, he still decided to go to Wanqinghou's Mansion to test Wanqinghou.
When Zhou Du learned that Emperor Chengde was going to the Wanqing Marquis Mansion, he hit it off with his father.
"Father is going to see the Hou Ye, and I'll go to Xiyuan to sit down." He said to Emperor Chengde.
Emperor Cheng De couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "You kid is really ......"
"I'm twenty years old, I'm about to get married next year, and I'm not a child." Zhou Du got up as he spoke, and suddenly changed his mind: "That's it, I won't enter the Hou Mansion with my father, take the first step." ”
Emperor Cheng De looked at Zhou Dui's crisp and loose figure, and his eyes were inexplicably astringent.
He will always remember how the child was dying when he was born, like a kitten, such a small lump, it was Yu Shu desperately left his child.
If it weren't for Master Mingjue's rescue, this child would have been gone.
But now that his appearance is so outstanding, he is twenty years old, and in his eyes, Zimo will always be a child.
Emperor Chengde came and didn't want to alarm too many people in the Hou Mansion.
He excused Wan Qinghou from the courtesy, and explained his intention: "I have something to ask you, and you need to tell the truth." ”
Seeing that Emperor Chengde's expression was so serious, Wanqinghou was heartbroken, and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, may I ask." ”
"Let me ask you, besides you and me, is there a third person who knows Zimo's identity?" Emperor Chengde didn't bend around and wipe his feet, during which he stared at Wan Qinghou's expression.
Wan Qinghou's face was a little flustered, and Emperor Cheng De saw it clearly: "Is there really a third person who knows his identity?" ”
"But Ke Weichen only mentioned this matter to his mother after the palace came down to propose marriage. Prior to this, Weichen did not dare to reveal half of the news. Wan Qinghou asked cautiously: "Is the identity of His Highness exposed?" ”
Emperor Cheng De was a little surprised when he heard this: "Only the old lady knows Zi Mo's identity, or is it after Zi Mo is pro-family?" ”
So how did Gu Xiyan learn about Zimo's identity? It wasn't because he guessed wrong.
But he always felt that Gu Xiyan seemed to know Zimo's true identity earlier.
"Of course. The stakes are very high, and Wei Chen does not dare to publicize the identity of His Highness everywhere. Your Majesty, Wei Chen grew up watching His Royal Highness, and he also knew that His Royal Highness had no intention of Hongchen before, under this premise, how could Wei Chen reveal His Royal Highness's true identity? If His Royal Highness does not come to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, it is impossible for Weichen to let a third party know about this matter in his life. Wan Qinghou's expression was serious.
Regarding the life of the entire Hou Mansion, it is impossible for him to be so ignorant.
"That's weird." Emperor Chengde frowned.
It's not Wan Qinghou, is it Master Mingjue?
This possibility was again vetoed by Emperor Chengde. If Wan Qinghou hadn't revealed this news, then it would have been impossible for Master Mingjue to reveal it.
"Is it possible for Xiyan to know Zimo's true identity?" Emperor Cheng De simply picked out the words.
Wan Qinghou replied categorically: "It is absolutely impossible! That kid is usually a man of few words, the Liu family treats her one by one, except for going to Zaohui Hall and Manfangyuan to ask for peace, Pingsu doesn't walk around the Hou Mansion, how did she know the identity of His Royal Highness? If His Majesty suspects that Sister Xi deliberately approached because she knew the true identity of His Highness, then Wei Chen can say with certainty that Sister Xi is not such a person! ”
Many people in the Liu family are not right-minded, but Sister Xi is the most upright of the girls.
"It's rare to see you protect someone like this." Emperor Chengde couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Liu Shuming has been friends with him for so many years, of course he knows Liu Shuming's temperament. If he hadn't believed Gu Xiyan, Liu Shuming would not have said it so categorically.
"Wechen admits that the Liu family treats Sister Xi poorly, but Sister Xi'er has a valuable character, and Wechen trusts her unconditionally!" Wan Qinghou's tone was still affirmative.
Emperor Cheng De thoughtfully: "If Xiyan's character is fine, and no one divulges Zi Mo's identity, how did the girl know Zi Mo's true identity?" ”
Wan Qinghou frowned: "Is Your Majesty mistaken?" How could Sister Xi know the identity of His Highness. That girl rarely even went out in Xiyuan before, but lately, she has ......"
Emperor Cheng De saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "What's wrong with her recently?" ”
"Since Sister Xi was dismissed, she has often been out of the Hou Mansion. Sometimes I went to see each other, sometimes I went next door to see His Royal Highness, but I didn't know the whereabouts of other ministers. His Royal Highness has also explained that there is no need to detain Sister Xi. By the way, Sister Xi also found a women's nursing home by herself. Wan Qinghou didn't dare to hide it, and said it truthfully.
This reminded Emperor Cheng De that the reason why Gu Xiyan was dismissed was also because of his son, Xiyan will change, is it because of Zhou Xing?
Yes, he forgot to withdraw from his family.
Xiyan and Zi Mo have dealings, it won't be to take revenge on King Qin, right?
The girl's character is good, and the first time he saw the girl, he felt that the girl's gamete would be good.
Thinking that Zimo had gone to Xiyuan, he decided to mention a few more words before returning to the palace.
Zhou Du didn't expect Emperor Cheng De to be heartbroken about his feelings.
When he entered the West Garden, it was not easy to enter the room, so he took a rattan chair in the courtyard and sat down.
Gu Xiyan felt that he might have something to say, so he dismissed the others. She felt that the food festival was not over yet, and she might not be able to hide it here.
"If Childe has anything to say, just ask." Gu Xiyan said, pouring a cup of hot tea for Zhou Dui.
Zhou Du looked at Gu Xi's little hands as white as jade, which were more eye-catching than the porcelain white tea in his hands, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
Gu Xiyan followed Zhou Dui's gaze and looked at his hand, not understanding what he was looking at.
"You're the mastermind behind the food festival." Zhou Du took a sip of tea, and then slowly opened his mouth, this time in a stated tone.
Gu Xiyan raised her eyebrows lightly, and her expression did not change at all: "Why is Childe so sure?" ”
