The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 593: Chapter 592: I’m Your Brother

Xia Wenjin suddenly thought of the person from her previous life whom Huangfu Yuxuan greatly relied upon, almost obeying every word, the one whom he honored as the State Preceptor.

She slowly said, ”Gongyang Puyu!”

The one he was going to marry was not her, Xia Wenjin, but rather the so-called divine will calculated by Gongyang Puyu, right?

Could it be that so early on, Huangfu Yuxuan and Gongyang Puyu were already entangled with each other?

So was it because of something Gongyang Puyu said that prompted Huangfu Yuxuan to go to Jinzhou tirelessly?

Was her falling off the horse and losing consciousness also within Gongyang Puyu’s calculations?

So actually, a long time ago, Huangfu Yuxuan’s goal was that supreme position, and everyone was just a pawn to him.

Xia Wenjin thought her death in the previous life was really not in vain, who made her so naive?

Gongyang Puyu, he had never even heard of this person! Huangfu Jingchen couldn’t help but ask, ”A very formidable person? Could he really foresee the divine will?”

Xia Wenjin said, ”This person is currently unknown, he is the Director of the Astronomical Observatory. Because 600 years ago, Huangfu’s ancestor, the Tianqian State Preceptor Qiankun Zi caused great chaos in the court, and the people lived in hardship, it’s a family rule of the Huangfu Royal Family of successive generations not to appoint a State Preceptor, even the position of the Astronomical Observatory has been repeatedly downgraded, the position of the Director is not high! It’s normal for you not to know him!”

In the past Xia Wenjin would not have believed Gongyang Puyu had this ability, but now she somewhat believed it, if it weren’t for discovering something, why would Gongyang Puyu get involved with Huangfu Yuxuan when he was just an Imperial Grandson?

In everything Huangfu Yuxuan does, there seems to be a shadow of Gongyang Puyu, and in the end, he was even honored as the State Preceptor, this is the power of aiding a dragon, thus enjoying a high position!

Huangfu Jingchen said, ”I see!” He looked at the young girl in front of him, her eyes clear as a lake, and said, ”Wenjin, you’re really smart, you’ve been in the Capital City even shorter than me, but you know many people and things better than me, am I too useless?”

Xia Wenjin’s heart skipped a beat, actually, what she knew was all from her previous life experiences, those people all had interacted with her before, so she could easily speak out each person’s characteristics, but actually, she hasn’t met any in this life.

However, that was hard to explain, she half-jokingly said, ”Because I have great ambitions, wanting to accomplish something big, becoming a wealthy person, there’s definitely no shortage of places I need to understand.”

While the two talked and laughed, they soon arrived at the Xia Mansion. Huangfu Jingchen sent Xia Wenjin back, declined her offer for Old Liang to see him off, and walked back alone!

He felt a sense of crisis, that so-called destiny, that so-called heavenly match! It made him feel extremely uncomfortable, Wenjin had already occupied his whole heart, if there was any destiny, any heavenly match, it must be with him, not with Huangfu Yuxuan.

Returning to Cheng Prince Mansion, entering his courtyard, Jiang Ning immediately came over.

Huangfu Jingchen asked, ”What’s the matter?”

Seeing his master’s face was not good, Jiang Ning seemed to hesitate a bit, but decided to speak honestly about the main issue first, ”The Second Young Master of Prince Liang Mansion said, since you are busy today, you should arrange to meet tomorrow! Please make sure to attend!”

Huangfu Jingchen frowned and said, ”Got it!”

Jiang Ning blinked and said, ”Is the master at odds with Miss Xia?”

”What odds? What nonsense?” Huangfu Jingchen absentmindedly glared at him.

Jiang Ning said, ”Weren’t you with Miss Xia? You’ve come back looking all gloomy, something must have happened. Who am I? I’m the most insightful, smart and clever Xiao Jiang Ning, just one look and I can tell you’re unhappy!”

Huangfu Jingchen ignored his antics and said, ”Go bring Yan Nan to me!”

Jiang Ning said pitifully, ”Master, you can tell me what you need, I’m no less capable than Yan Nan!”

”You can’t handle this task! Go quickly!”

Knowing that his master was not in the mood for jokes, Jiang Ning quickly went out to get Yan Nan. Before long, Yan Nan came over, and Huangfu Jingchen said, ”I need you to investigate someone for me, track every move and all information about them in the past two years, as detailed as possible!”

Yan Nan didn’t hesitate and said, ”Who would you like me to investigate?”

Huangfu Jingchen said, ”The Director of the Astronomical Bureau, Gongyang Puyu!”

Yan Nan showed some surprise, the Director of the Astronomical Bureau, a Fourth Rank official, and a leisurely post at that, had no connection with his master, and he wanted to investigate him? However, he didn’t ask further, cupping his fist he said, ”Understood!”

The next morning, Xia Wenjin prepared to pick up Xia Wanqing.

Although Xia Wanqing might not be released so early, since they still had to wait for the Emperor’s approval, Xia Wenjin felt it was better to go early, she’d rather wait longer than let Huangfu Yuxuan find another opportunity to curry favor.

However, before she could leave, someone came to visit the Xia Mansion!

Xia Wenjin, looking at the two young men sitting in the outer hall, paused in her steps. The elder man was about twenty-six or twenty-seven, dressed in a stone-blue long robe, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome looks, exuding an air of scholarly elegance; the younger one was about seventeen or eighteen, with red lips and white teeth, and his eyes sparkled with cleverness.

As Xia Wenjin walked through the door, both eyes fell on her face!

Xia Wenjin thought, could these be friends of Xia Sichen? She bowed and said, ”Are you two friends of my brother? My elder brother is not here, I apologize for the slight.”

The elder man returned the salute but before he could speak, the younger one chirped excitedly, ”My father is Xia Shi’en, my name is Xia Xinxin, and this is my brother Xia Xiaozhe. Seeing you is the same as seeing your brother!” He was exuberant, looking very excited.

Xia Wenjin was taken aback.

When she was endeavoring for her father’s affairs, she sought help from various parties, among which one particularly unforgettable and moving was Right Minister Xia Shi’en. If it wasn’t for Xia Shi’en’s help, she wouldn’t have handled matters so smoothly, such as finding flaws in evidence, and reviewing relevant case files of the Ministry of Justice and Capital Guard...

Originally planning to prepare a gift to thank the Prime Minister Xia Mansion after bringing back her father, she didn’t expect the two sons of Prime Minister Xia to come here first.

Xia Wenjin immediately said, ”So it is Brother Xia. I am grateful to Prime Minister Xia for his generous assistance with my father’s matters, thank you beyond words!”

Xia Xiaozhe said, ”Such a small matter, no need to be polite!”

Xia Xinxin said in surprise, ”Sister Wenjin, has Third Uncle never mentioned anything to you?”

Xia Wenjin was puzzled, ”Mentioned what?”

Xia Xinxin was even more surprised, ”You really don’t know anything? I’m not an outsider, I’m your brother!”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

She only has one brother, the unreliable Xia Sichen, who else could be her brother?
