Chapter 217 Harmless

As Zheng Ji thought, there are people in Princess Changding’s mansion who know where Chunhui Tower is.

Soon, Zhang Jian reported all the news about Chunhui Tower to Zheng Ji.

Finally, he suggested: "Your Highness, Chunhui Tower is too remote and mixed with fish and dragons. Do you need to send someone to prepare?"

Even if his highness wants to meet the Dou family of the Ministry of Personnel, he should not take it lightly.

Zheng Ji shook his head and said, "No need, Qin Zhou and Shi Dingfang can accompany this hall at that time, and there is no need for Changding to lead the soldiers to follow."

After knowing the scale and location of Chunhui Tower, she knew why Dou Shiyuan chose this place.

This is to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Since that's the case, she has to disguise herself.

Based on her previous life's understanding of Dou Shiyuan, she still has a minimum trust in her...

Besides, Dou Shiyuan is a typical civil servant and a weak scholar. What can he do to her?

With her force, coupled with Qin Zhou and Shi Dingfang, it would be enough to make this appointment.

"Your Highness, the son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall..." Zhang Jian was still worried and continued to persuade him.

Your Highness seems to trust the Dou family of the Ministry of Personnel too much.

He and Dou Shiyuan were both officials in the court and knew him the most.

Officials of the Ministry of Personnel all secretly called Dou Shiyuan "Dou Hu", which means that Dou Shiyuan is like a fox, scheming and insidious.

Otherwise, can a young man like him gain a foothold in the Ministry of Personnel?

You should know that force is not the most terrifying thing in the world. What really causes harm is the dark mind.

Zhang Jian wrote everything he thought on his face. Zheng Ji thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Dou Shiyuan has asked for this palace. He won't do anything to this palace, don't worry."

Isn't there a request?

Otherwise, why would he have to arrange this meeting?

Zhang Jian doesn’t have to worry about it.

Seeing Zheng Ji shaking his head firmly, Zhang Jian finally responded helplessly.

On the second day, Zheng Ji disguised himself.

She dressed as a man, wearing a shirt of ordinary style and ordinary fabric, and holding a fan in her hand.

At first glance, he is just an ordinary poor man.

Such a person will not attract attention if he appears in Chunhui Tower.

As for Qin Zhou and Shi Dingfang, they were also redesigned and looked like ordinary guards.

Both of them have experienced many battles, and when they deliberately restrain their aura, they become ordinary.

When Dou Shiyuan saw Zheng Ji in Chunhui Tower, he was stunned.

This...is His Highness Changding?

There is such a skillful person in Princess Changding’s mansion?

If the young scholar in front of me hadn't been carefully examined, who would have known that he was His Highness Changding?

In fact, he was still thinking lightly.

This is the effect of Zheng Ji's simple disguise, and I'm still worried that he won't recognize it.

After all, her skills come from Wei Yan. If she really disguised herself, Dou Shiyuan would not recognize her at all.

The weather is hot now, and there are no one in Chunhui Tower at noon. Zheng Ji sat down calmly in Dou Shiyuan.

Several plates of refreshments have been placed on the tea table, both in color, fragrance and taste, and it is indeed the delicious look described by Miss Dou Shu.

However, she would not move the food outside.

She just touched the teacup, but didn't hold it up, and asked, "I don't know what happened to Lord Dou?"

"I just want to say thank you in person. There is nothing important, you don't have to worry." Dou Shiyuan replied with a smile, deliberately not calling Zheng Ji's identity.

His temperament is gentle, and when he smiles, he feels like a spring breeze, and even his voice is comfortable.

Dou Shiyuan also has a round face, Dou Shu is cute and stupid, and she is gentle and harmless to him.

But since officials in the court call him "Dou Hu", that's what it means

It shows that the person is not as good as he looks.

"Thank you? I don't seem to have helped Lord Dou any of it."

She was indeed a little confused. Why did Dou Shiyuan thank him?

Could it be that she inquired about Wei Que for Zheng Chuan?

But the matter has not been found out yet, and she has not done anything for Zheng Chuan, so why should I thank you?

Besides, with Zheng Chuan's timid and cautious nature, he would never tell such a secret matter. I am afraid that Dou Shiyuan would not even know about Wei Que.

More importantly, if it is really for Zheng Chuan, what is Dou Shiyuan's identity and what qualifications are there to thank her?

Who is Zheng Chuan? No one is there!

Zheng Ji felt a little unhappy. No matter what Dou Shiyuan thought about Zheng Chuan, before Zheng Chuan had expressed nothing, Dou Shiyuan's move was really an overrepresentation.

Dou Shiyuan smiled and said, "You don't know that you helped me accidentally, I can just know. I am indeed grateful to you."

"Oh? I was confused when you said that. What's the matter? I really want to know."

Dou Shiyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and smiled and said, "You are so smart and so well-informed, how could you not know?"

Zheng Ji shook his head and said, "Mr. Dou, I really don't know."

How could she know what Dou Shiyuan didn’t say in person? Even if she knew, she would pretend not to know.

Everyone knows this tentative confrontation, but it just depends on who will give in first.

Dou Shiyuan's smile remained unchanged. He glanced at Zheng Ji deeply, poured a little tea on the table, and wrote the word "Fifteenth" with tea as ink.

Then he said, "I came for her. I am grateful for your help to her twice to save me from the pain of worry. I am thanking you for myself, not for her."

Of course he could sense Zheng Ji's displeasure, and he immediately became more sure of his guess.

A person who will get angry because his sister is offended by words must have a strong sense of protection towards her sister.

Even though Princess Changding acted arrogantly, she still treated Princess Fifteen as her sister.

——This is really rare in the palace.

So, is this the reason why Princess Fifteen trusts her?

Dou Shiyuan kept guessing in his heart, judging that this was the truth.

Since Princess Changding is the person trusted by the fifteenth princess, there is no need for him to hide anything.

The fifteenth princess was alone in the palace, and he was out of reach outside the palace. If anything happened, he would have to rely on Princess Changding for help...

Just like in March, if Princess Changding hadn't helped, the person who ended up having an accident would definitely be the fifteenth princess.

This is why he has always been gentle to Zheng Ji.

When Zheng Ji heard Dou Shiyuan mention "twice", he was shocked and immediately thought of something.

Strictly speaking, the real deal between her and Zheng Chuan was indeed twice.

Once, he left the palace and held a banquet in March, and once, he was Wei Que. Except for Zheng Chuan and his servant, no one could know about these two.

So there is only one possibility...

"Qingshuang, is it your person?"
