Ke Ming's face was terribly gloomy.

Of course he knew that it was Ji Zhang who saved her. Everyone present witnessed it with their own eyes, and it was an indisputable fact.

"Someone, come and put clothes on the princess." Ke Ming said expressionlessly.

What made him angry was that his sister was doing something stupid. How could she flirt with a stranger in public? So what if he was her lifesaver? Ji Zhang was his man, and saving his sister was his duty. Could it be that he wanted him to marry his precious sister to him?

Not to mention that Ji Zhang is already married, even if he is not married, Ji Zhang is not worthy of his sister.

To put clothes on the princess, they naturally had to separate her from Ji Zhang. Ke Jinshan's men came forward to pull her away, but she pushed them away. She shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

She suddenly turned to Ke Ming and cried, "Fourth brother, please don't break up the couple. Kang Ping really likes Guard Ji!"

It was eerily quiet.

Everyone's face was filled with shock, as if they had never expected what was happening before them.

Ke Ming raised his voice: "What did you say?"

The cold wind blew, chilling her body, but Ke Jinshan seemed not to notice it and said firmly: "Kangping has been happy to be a guard for a long time, I hope that Fourth Brother will help me!"

"..."

They didn't call him "General Ji" or even his full name, but "Guard Ji", and everyone felt under great pressure.

You know, Ji Zhang is no longer a guard, but Princess Kangping still calls him "Guard Ji", which shows that Princess Kangping has indeed been fond of Ji Zhang for a long time.

[Ah ha? Princess Kangping has been fond of Ji Zhang for a long time? ]

Shang Tingli widened his eyes. This was not part of her plan, and he believed that this was not part of Princess Ruyu's plan either.

[This fairy is really amazing. No wonder Princess Ruyu arranged such a good show that was originally untenable.]

[Using the two-heart pot to give Princess Kangping and Qu Feiyue a mild laxative, and then in the side hall, the seeds of the fairy were lit in the incense burner and inhaled, and the two of them saw the secret deep in their hearts, and felt beautiful in the illusion, but they did not let anyone get into trouble in the side hall, but chose to attack through the pavilion corridor. The hallucinogenic effect of the fairy had not completely worn off, and fell into the water at this time, the illusion that seemed like a dream became more and more real, making people unable to help but tell the secret. ]

[It seems that the secret hidden deep in Princess Kangping's heart is that she likes Ji Zhang. ]

[This is a really great move. Even if the Fourth Prince wants to conduct a thorough investigation, it will probably take quite a while.]

Ke Xin: “…”

In this comparison, Ke Rui is just as insidious.

"..." Ke Yichang didn't know where to start being shocked.

[The case has been solved. I was wondering why Princess Kangping was so happy when she saw me. What was she happy about? I thought I was seeing things, but it turns out that she was happy that I wasn't the one marrying Ji Zhang!]

Shang Tingli suddenly came to his senses.

【Hehe, I am also very lucky. 】

Ke Yishang whispered silently in her heart: She was also very glad that her sister-in-law married into their palace.

Ke Ruwei was indeed extremely surprised at this moment. Kang Ping was at the age when a girl was in love. She just guessed that Kang Ping had a lover, but she never guessed that person would be Ji Zhang.

Ke Ruwei secretly exchanged a glance with Ke Rui, then quickly looked away.

In fact, this link ruined her plan, because in her plan, the person who saved Kang Ping was not Ji Zhang, but Qu Feiyue.

But at the moment, changing this person to Ji Zhang seems to be more perfect?

Second brother had told her that Ji Zhang belonged to fourth brother, so it depended on how fourth brother made his choice.

Ke Ruwei thought about it and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, but in a moment, she returned to her shocked and unbelievable expression.

From the moment Ke Rui changed from the person who jumped down to save others to Ji Zhang, he started thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

For him, whether it was Qu Feiyue or Ji Zhang, it didn't matter much. But for Ke Ming, the difference was quite big. If the person who saved Kang Ping was Qu Feiyue, Ke Ming would at most not be able to win over the noble family with Kang Ping, but if it was Ji Zhang who saved him, Ke Ming would not only fail to win over the noble family, but also very likely cause the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion to rebel.

From this we can see that this incident actually helped him in a disguised way.

Ke Rui was happy and contented.

The most shocked person was Ji Zhang himself. He never expected that Princess Kangping would have such thoughts about him.

how could be?

Yu Lanxi stood stiffly aside. As the cold wind blew, she couldn't help but pull her clothes closer, but she still felt freezing.

Things have come to this point today, and she can even imagine the outcome.

If Princess Kangping insisted that Ji Zhang take responsibility for her, Ji Zhang would definitely not be able to refuse. As a princess, it is impossible for her to be someone's concubine. Then what about Yu Lanxi? Should she give up her position as the main wife?

Yu Lanxi thought that it was impossible for her to be willing. How could she let others take away the marriage she had worked so hard to get?

But the other person is Her Royal Highness the Princess, what can she do?

Bai Yihan was standing beside her, but she didn't dare to say a word of comfort. It suddenly came up with a question of stance, and perhaps she didn't know how to comfort her.

Pan Qinghuan has been paying attention to Yu Lanxi's condition since Ke Jinshan expressed her feelings. Seeing her suffer a setback, he couldn't help but gloat over her misfortune.

She always thought highly of herself, but look, now she is really extraordinary. The husband of a young general is actually coveted by the princess of the time. Her cousin really has good taste.

In the silence, someone couldn't help but say, "Your Highness Kangping, how can I be so worthy..."

Without caring about anything else, he sat up and kept a distance from Ke Jinshan. Ji Zhang paused before continuing, "You must be so grateful to me because I saved you in time today. I am really terrified..."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying to help out.

Ke Jinshan said: "Don't be afraid, I will treat you well...ah——"

Her tone of voice changed. She covered half of her face and looked at the man who hit her in disbelief: "Fourth brother, you hit me?"

Seeing that she was about to talk nonsense again, Ke Ming resorted to this desperate measure. He quickly slapped her in the face to interrupt her.

Ke Ming suppressed his anger and said, "Kang Ping, be careful, you should know what you are talking about."

Ke Jinshan gritted her teeth and said unconvincedly: "Of course I know!"

Ke Ming shouted angrily: "You don't know!"

"..."

Ke Jinshan was startled, her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to respond.

Ke Ming closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and bowed to Ke Yu, who had remained silent the entire time, and said, "Brother..."

Ke Yu nodded calmly, and then said to the people who came to the banquet: "Today's plum blossom banquet ends here. The plum blossoms in Ruyu are in full bloom, and the plum blossom wine tastes great. I believe everyone should leave the palace and go home satisfied."

He did not mention anything else, and his meaning was obvious, he just didn't want people to talk too much. After all, it was related to the reputation of the royal family, and people didn't dare to gossip outside, unless their heads and necks wanted to be separated.

"General Ji and Madam Ji can stay, and the rest of you can leave the palace on your own."

……

No one dared to speak until they got on the carriage back home.

Ke Xin kept staring at Shang Tingli until she felt uncomfortable, then he asked, "Is this your plan?"

Shang Tingli immediately sat up straight, not daring to look at him, and turned his head slightly to look at the curtains.

[This tone... is he trying to accuse me? Yes, Feiying and Feiyu did it so obviously, it's only a matter of time before they get caught.]

She finally nodded: "Yes."

Ke Yichang could never understand her eldest brother's moods, because in her opinion, her eldest brother was often moody, and she was also very afraid of her eldest brother getting angry. At this time, she had already huddled in the corner silently.

But I couldn't help but say in my heart, I'm sorry, sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to speak for you, it's that I can't stand the look in your brother's eyes.

"Are you angry?"

After not hearing his voice for a long time, Shang Tingli secretly glanced at him.

Ke Xin asked her back, "Why should I be angry?"

"Of course it's because——"

Shang Tingli paused.

[Oh, you don't know that I know you are the Fourth Prince's man. In your opinion, I really shouldn't think that you would be angry.]

[But you must be angry. I borrowed your people to deal with your master, how could you not be angry? Maybe you even want to strangle me to death.]

Ke Xin: “…” It’s really not the case.

Shang Tingli had no idea what he was thinking and just pondered on his own.

[There are only two options left for the Fourth Prince. Either marry Princess Kangping to Ji Zhang, but demote Yu Lanxi to a concubine, which the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion absolutely does not want. Or let Princess Kangping live a secluded life, which is equivalent to losing a bargaining chip that can win over the court officials. No matter what he does, the Fourth Prince cannot turn the situation around.]

Ke Xin flicked the non-existent dust off the shoulders of his cloak, squinted his eyes and thought to himself that there was actually another consequence that would be even more disastrous for Ke Ming.

That is, the entire royal family is now in mourning for the empress dowager, and according to the law, the princes and princesses cannot discuss marriage. If he angers the emperor, Ke Ming will have to suffer the consequences.

He doesn't mind being the pusher.

But he thought that there would be someone who would be more eager to be the pusher than he was.

[It would be great if someone could impeach him at tomorrow's morning court session. Perhaps this would help maximize the Fourth Prince's losses.]

Ke Xin curled her lips, it seemed that she had thought of it too.

"How did you come up with this plan?" he asked.

"..."

[Can this be said? 】

Shang Tingli simply closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was just like pretending to be dead. It was very simple.

Ke Xin: “…”

[What a coincidence! If Sister He hadn’t asked me out shopping last time, I might not have known that the Second Prince and Princess Ruyu had such a plan.]

【Who would have thought of that? 】

[The Second Prince and Princess Ruyu were discussing important matters, and they had an appointment in a teahouse outside, and they even had an appointment in a private room on the second floor of Fengting Tower. Thanks to Sister He's maid Ruhua, otherwise they would not have been able to eavesdrop on this plan.]

"..."

It turned out to be a mistake.
