Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Jiang Xue frowned, thought about it carefully, shook her head and said to Jing Ye:

"Master Chong is an upright official, upright and unyielding. He often offends people in the court because he is too upright. With his temperament, he will never look down on these dirty methods, and he will never be willing to betray his behavior. Chen Zhidao committed such an act of treason."

"So what? If a person really wants to rebel, pretending to be honest is just one of the methods." Jing Ye said.

"No, the official reputation has been like this for many years. If he is a person who is deliberately trying to disguise himself, he will not be criticized by many colleagues." Jiang Xue said, "I have no definite evidence, but my intuition is that he will not do such a thing."

Jiang Xue looked at Jing Ye and said sincerely: "I wonder how the prince found the place where they met, and how he found out the identity of that person?"

Jing Ye poured a cup of tea by himself and said slowly: "Of the three people in the courtyard just now, two are generals from Beixi, and the other one, whose surname is Zhou Mingdi, is one of the staff of Chonghuan, the minister of the Ministry of War of Hebei. "

Zhou Di?

Jiang Xue recalled that the traces of the seal were indeed that name.

"Gu had earlier traced the traces of the traitor of the Qian Kingdom who had contacted him. This time he came to Hebei, and he was specially placed in the mission."

Jiang Xue looked surprised and asked: "Since the prince already knows who it is, why not just deal with it in Qian Country?"

Jing Ye gave her a meaningful look and said: "To cut the grass, we need to get rid of the root. Since someone in your Ji country is eyeing the interests of Qian country, they will not let it go easily. If one person is removed, won't there be a second one? One?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said: "So what the prince actually wants to do is to go to the country of Hebei to eradicate the disaster?"

Jing Ye nodded slightly.

Jiang Xue secretly sarcastic in her heart, Jing Ye now holds the power of the Qian Kingdom. If he really wants to eradicate the roots, with the ability of his secret guards and minions, he can not only find out who is communicating with the people of the Ji Kingdom, but also why he cannot follow the clues and root out the traitors. remove?

His move could only have an ulterior motive.

As for what the purpose is, Jiang Xue doesn't know, but one thing she can be sure of is - after the matter is found out, everyone in the Ji Dynasty will owe him a huge favor to Regent Ruichong.

Jiang Xue made an expression of sudden realization and said: "Then how did the prince find out about the person named Zhou Di?"

"Gu knew the identity of this traitor a long time ago, but he didn't know it himself. As soon as he arrived in the suburbs of Jijing, he looked for an opportunity to go out and meet his contact person."

"Yes, if I were him, just relying on the words in the letter is indeed not trustworthy," Jiang Xue nodded, "Since I have the opportunity to step into Hebei Capital openly, of course I must do everything possible to find an opportunity for the two parties to meet each other, so that we can communicate with each other. Get the letter.”

Jing Ye continued: "Yu Wei has been secretly monitoring this person, so I knew it as soon as he met Zhou Di. I followed Zhou Di for two days, and after seeing his daily life and behavior, I naturally knew him. Who do you serve?"

Jiang Xue asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, are you sure he is one of Chong Huan's men?"

"Zhou Di lives in the west of the city and has to go to the Ministry of War on duty every day," Jing Ye said. "If I hadn't found out clearly, I wouldn't have told the princess like this."

Jiang Xue smiled on her face, but she didn't think so in her heart.

One thing she knew very well was that Jing Ye had a different stance from hers, and not all of his words could be trusted.

Ever since Jiang Qibin discovered that Beixi's army and horses appeared in Jijing and that this matter was inextricably linked to Gu Lintan, Jiang Xue felt that he could half believe Jing Ye's words.

But now, among the clues given by Jing Ye, the second-rank minister involved in the matter is Chong Huan, who has always been loyal, patriotic, and upright.

First, it was because of his trust in Chong Huan's official reputation and his intuition about the matter, and second, because there was no room for error in this matter - so Jiang Xue did not accept Jing Ye's accusation of Chong Huan's treason at the moment.

She half-probingly said to Jing Ye: "Maybe this Zhou Di is just a cover? Based on my understanding of Chong Huan - although I only heard about it, this person should not do such a thing."

Jing Ye sneered and said, "Gu seems to have never said that Chong Huan is the mastermind behind it, right?"

Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked: "What does the prince think now?"

"You want to hear Gu's opinion?" Jing Ye raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Xue nodded as if pounding garlic.

Jing Ye looked at her, with a hint of joking in his eyes, and said, "When did Gu's opinions become so important to the princess?"

Jiang Xue was speechless. She suddenly felt that Jing Ye still maintained his previous attitude of sarcastic remarks to her, which made her feel more comfortable.

"This has always been the case," Jiang Xue tried her best to flatter. "Your Majesty is so savvy and intelligent. I am ashamed of myself. Of course I have no shame in asking - so I ask Your Majesty to enlighten me. What is the mystery behind this matter?"

After saying that, Jiang Xue felt goosebumps all over the floor.

She unconsciously stroked her arm and looked at Jing Ye expectantly.

Jing Ye frowned slightly, suddenly stood up, took the teapot on the table and walked out.

Not long after, Jing Ye walked in again carrying a teapot.

He took the cup, poured two cups of tea, and pushed one of them to Jiang Xue.

The tea is still steaming.

"I'm thirsty," Jing Ye said, "I'll have a cup of tea with you before we talk."

Jiang Xue had been drinking cool breeze for a long time this night, and she felt the coldness coming over her body. When she saw the hot tea, she couldn't help but feel happy. She picked up the cup and held it in her hands. She slowly blew the tea to cool it down for a few sips, and then Send it to your mouth.

While drinking hot tea, she blinked at Jing Ye. The hot air made her eyes even moister.

Jing Ye squeezed the cup tightly.

Soon, he slowly said:

"When the two met for the first time, Zhou Di gave a token of Chong Huan to that person to prove his identity." He took out the token from his arms and handed it to Jiang Xue.

"This thing was obtained after Gu Jiangren captured it."

Jiang Xue took the token and looked at it carefully.

"Did the prince capture the person?" Jiang Xue asked doubtfully, "Why not continue to hide it, so that we can continue to see what happens between them."

"We have arrived in Jijing," Jing Ye said calmly, "If I want to fish, I need to ensure that the bait can reach Jijing alive. And after arriving in Jijing, what I want is for the bait to be obedient and help Gu fish even bigger. of fish.”

Jiang Xue understood and nodded slightly towards him.

"After Zhou Di met this person, he contacted the Beixi people. The manor house I took you to tonight is a private property that Chonghuan entrusted to Zhou Di to take care of."

Jing Ye's eyes darkened and he said, "The deeper this matter is related to Chong Huan, the more Gu Bian feels that the matter is not that simple."

Jiang Xuedao: "As soon as Zhou Di showed up, he did not investigate, but directly revealed the identity of his master, and took the people from Beixi to Zhuangzi under the name of Chonghuan - if it is really Chonghuan, he is so cunning and calculating, You will never be so stupid, so stupid that you can't get away from everything."

She frowned and thought deeply, and murmured: "If it wasn't him, then what this person did was intended to be——"
