Chapter 53 Diverting Your Eyes
Mansion of Marquis Wending.

"Ziyan, news came from the palace that your sister drank a lot of wine after going back to the palace last night." Dugu Cheming said with a sip of tea.

"Father." Duguzi sighed helplessly after hearing the words.

Dugu Che sighed, and said again: "When your mother left, she always regretted not being able to see your sister get married and have children. Now, your sister seems to be married, but she is not the real wife after all, that's why she is so sad .”

Dugu Che continued to say earnestly: "Ziyan, your sister is capricious, and she was out of control before, so she ruined your good game of chess. Let our Mansion of Marquis Wending arouse the emperor's fear so early. Now she has We have also taken back her rights. She must have complained in her heart. But she is your sister after all. Now that she has entered the palace and is not happy, we always have to help her."

Duguziyan sighed and said, "Father, Ziyan understands, but now is not the right time to push my sister to be the queen."

"Father also knows, just write it down." Dugu Che said again.

Dugu Ziyan nodded and replied: "Father, Ziyan has made a note. Don't worry, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely help Yan'er in planning. Yan'er is also my sister."

"Father, Ziyan still has something to do here, so he will leave first." Duguziyan said with a bow.

"Okay, let's go." Dugu Che waved his hand and said.

Dugu Ziyan's study room.

Du Chuan bowed and said back: "My lord, Ji Haotian went to the roadside wine shop to drink at [-] o'clock last night, and didn't return to his residence until the end of Yinshi."

"Drinking? Did you see the wrong person?" Duguzi asked in confusion after hearing the words.

Du Chuan replied after hearing the words: "Our people have been staring, and what they saw was Ji Haotian."

Then he continued to ask: "My lord, what are you worried about?"

"Yan'er has always been willful, I'm afraid she will lose her sense of proportion for the queen's position." Duguzi replied.

"The subordinates will continue to stare at Ji Haotian." Du Chuan replied upon hearing this.

"Well, let's go." Duguzi said.

Hearing the words, Du Chuan bowed and retreated.

For a moment, I heard Dugu Ziyan muttering to himself: "Yan'er, my brother should have resolutely opposed your entry into the palace at the beginning. How to have both?"

Tianqi Palace Chengqian Palace bedroom.

Dugu Yan in front of the vanity mirror asked, "Who was the emperor favored last night?"

After a while, Qiao'er couldn't bear to reply: "Your Majesty, it's Liu Shuyi."

When Dugu Yan heard this, hostility flashed across his eyes!

Zhu said: "Our emperor really obeys the rules!"

Qiao'er heard the words and said frightened: "Mother, be careful!"

Then he continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, I know that you feel uncomfortable, but you still have to relax, don't let outsiders see the joke."

"Well, I know. Qiao'er, help me to dress up well, don't those people come to see you later! I will see them well." Dugu Yan said with a sneer.

"Yes, the servant obeys." Qiao'er replied with a smile when she heard the words.

Wei Mo bowed and replied: "Master, last night Ji Hao went to the roadside wine shop to drink at [-] o'clock in the ugly day, and didn't return to his residence until the end of Yinshi."

"Drinking? Can you see clearly?" Xiao Jinxi asked suspiciously.

"People should have seen it clearly, unless!" Wei Mo exclaimed instantly when he heard the words.

"Unless it is easy to divert your attention." Xiao Jinxi continued.

"It's my subordinate's negligence." Wei Mo apologized with a bow.

"Forget it, he has been quiet for so long, if he really made this move suddenly, even if he finds out, you may not be able to track it down." Xiao Jinxi replied.

"Yes. Master, this is the information that Chu Yi handed over, and I can only find these at the moment." Wei Mo said with a bow, and handed each letter to Xiao Jinxi one by one.

Continue to say, "This Zhao Kuo's mother and his father are privately engaged for life. Zhao Kuo's grandfather was very opposed to it when he found out, and even beat Zhao Kuo's father for this. It was also that year that his father fell to the root of the disease. Later, his grandfather got sick. Knowing that Zhao Kuo's mother was pregnant with Zhao Kuo, his grandfather severed the father-daughter relationship with Zhao Kuo's mother in a fit of anger."

"At the beginning, the young couple's life was not bad. Zhao Kuo's father's health gradually improved after several years of raising him. When Zhao Kuo was five years old, he decided to go to the imperial capital to take the exam."

"I didn't know that I met his grandfather again in the imperial capital, and his grandfather ordered someone to beat Zhao Kuo's father in a rage. When his mother heard the news and brought Zhao Kuo to arrive, his father was already seriously ill. It took a month to die."

"And this month they spent all their savings in the past few years. After their father died of illness, their grandfather wanted to take them back, but Zhao Kuo's mother sternly refused, and said that they would no longer be father and daughter."

"Later, his mother took Zhao Kuo and his father's ashes back to their own home. After that, his mother worked very hard to bring up Zhao Kuo. Because of this, he became sick from overwork. Before Zhao Kuo was about to join the army Seven days later, his mother died of a serious illness. Zhao Kuo did not join the army until he had arranged for the funeral. Because he had already registered the information of his relatives when he signed up for the army, and Zhao Kuo did not update the information later, the records of the northern border did not know about this.”

Xiao Jinxi heard the words and said: "It seems that Zhao Kuo and Yang Yuqing are not in the same group, they should have their own needs."

"Based on the current information, it should be so. Master, do you think there is anything suspicious about this Zhao Kuo? Could it be a spy from the northern border?" Wei Mo asked suspiciously.

Xiao Jinxi turned her head and stared at the chessboard on the pear flower bed, lost in thought...
After a long time, Fang said: "It's strange that Zhao Kuo's mother is such a determined person. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, Zhao Kuo shouldn't be such a person who gives up easily. This can be seen from Zhao Kuo's performance when he first joined the army. , but after that injury a year ago, are you willing to just focus on food and grass?"

"What does the master mean, that Zhao Kuo is still suspected?" Wei Mo asked.

Xiao Jinxi nodded and replied: "Tell my brother, let Chu Yi pass the news back to the northern border, and tell my father to be careful about this person."

"Yes, master." Wei Mo bowed back.

After a while, Xiao Jinxi continued to say: "Wei Mo, you also send news to the Northern Territory, asking Yun Zhan Yuncheng to arrange another man to pay attention to this person. I always feel that this Zhao Kuo is not simple."

"Yes, master." Wei Mo replied.

"Go." Xiao Jinxi said.

Wei Mo heard Fang bowed and retreated.

I saw Xiao Jinxi turned his head and continued to stare at the chessboard on the pear flower couch, unconsciously pinching a jade with his fingers and rubbing it, lost in thought... Who could this Zhao Kuo belong to?Murong Xuan?Dugu Ziyan?Dugu Yan?Or someone I haven't followed? ······
