After being asked to stay by Ke Yu, Yu Lanxi and Ji Zhang waited on the side trembling with fear, as if awaiting their fate.

Ji Zhang had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had never thought that with his background, he thought it was a blessing from his ancestors that he could marry into the Yi Zhong Marquis's mansion, but he actually caused a princess to be obsessed with him.

But he was destined to be unable to bear the princess's love, and he didn't know whether the Fourth Prince would treat him coldly because of this.

Yu Lanxi had a stern face and clenched her fingers under her sleeves. As expected, there has always been an explanation for the twitching of the right eyelid.

"Does Kangping really like General Ji?"

While everyone was having different thoughts, Ke Yu looked at Ke Jinshan calmly.

Ke Jinshan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked around. Her eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, Ruyu and Baozhen were all there, as well as her lover and his wife.

She had nothing to hide, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I like him."

Ke Ruwei saw her stunned moment of confusion and knew that the effect of Tianxianzi's medicine had worn off, but the mess left for Kangping was not over. Ke Ruwei stood silently beside Ke Zhenzhen and remained silent with her.

Ke Yu said: "You should know that General Ji is married, and the woman standing next to him is his first wife."

Ke Jinshan said indifferently: "Does this palace have to respect her as the mistress?"

She didn't know why she wanted to confess to Ji Zhang so much before, but since she had said it, there was no point in taking it back. In fact, she had already given up. She was not someone who was willing to compromise. If a person couldn't spend the rest of his life with the person he loved, what was the point?

As for Ji Zhang's marriage? Just divorce her, and she wouldn't mind if she was demoted to a concubine. Anyway, it was impossible to make her a concubine.

Ke Zhenzhen was shocked. Did the legitimate wife deserve to suffer such an unprovoked disaster?

"Then according to what Your Highness Kangping means, should I abdicate and let others take over?" Yu Lanxi was unable to keep her composure and spoke directly in a sarcastic tone.

Is she some kind of mean person?

It would be fine if she just wanted to share her husband with others, but the other party was directly eyeing her position as the legal wife. She wasn't from a humble family, so could a princess do whatever she wanted?

Yu Lanxi simply couldn't remain calm.

She lived a new life and spared no effort to get rid of Shang Tingli, who had enjoyed the best of life in her previous life, not to repeat her past mistakes and live a hard life.

Ke Jinshan said confidently: "Shouldn't you?"

Yu Lanxi opened her mouth to refute, but Ji Zhang pulled her back. She couldn't control her anger anymore and turned to Ji Zhang and vented, "What? You're thinking of protecting her before she even gets married, right?"

Ji Zhang quickly shook his head and said in a humble, almost pleading tone: "Lan Xi, please say less."

Yu Lanxi sneered: "Haha."

"Brother, let me make the decision on this matter myself, okay?" Ke Ming took a deep breath and bowed to Ke Yu.

Ke Yu nodded slightly, gave Ke Zhenzhen a wink, and the brother and sister left.

"Someone is coming——"

After sending the prince and his sister away, Ke Ming called out to his men waiting on the side, saying, "Send Princess Kangping back to Anping Palace, and let her reflect on herself for a few days."

"Fourth brother——"

Ke Jinshan struggled and was unwilling to leave, but was still forcibly dragged away by Ke Ming's men.

Ke Ming said to Ji Zhang and Yu Lanxi: "General Ji and Madam Ji, rest assured, I will give you an explanation."

After saying that, he clasped his fists towards Ke Rui, then turned and left.

The drama was about to end, and Ke Ruwei sent Yu Lanxi and Ji Zhang away.

After everyone left, only the two siblings were left. They moved to the cross pavilion together, leaving only people to serve them on the shore.

"Did your guard recognize the wrong person?"

While pouring himself a glass of wine, Ke Rui looked at Ke Ruwei and asked. He was talking about the fact that the person who saved people changed from Qu Feiyue to Ji Zhang.

Ke Ruwei shook her head: "They don't look alike, how could I have mistaken them? Why don't I call them over to question them?"

Ke Rui: "Call the people over."

Ke Ruwei waved towards the shore.

After a while, two guards came over.

"Did you mistake General Ji for the son of Ningyuan Marquis? Why was it General Ji who jumped into the water to save people?" Ke Ruwei asked.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them clasped his fists and replied, "Your Highness, we two were not the ones responsible for throwing the Ningyuan Marquis' son into the water. It was the other two."

Ke Ru frowned slightly: "Call them over."

"Yes."

"No need." Ke Rui waved his hand, "You can leave."

"Yes."

After the two of them left, Ke Ruwei asked in confusion: "Second brother, why don't you call someone over to ask clearly?"

Ke Rui laughed and said, "The person ran away a long time ago. It's impossible to find out clearly."

Ke Ruwei stared: "What do you mean?"

Ke Rui explained to her one by one: "I guess someone sneaked into your group and threw Ji Zhang down to save others. At this time, that person has already escaped."

"Could it be that Big Brother also...?"

"Who said it has to be the eldest brother? Don't forget, Ji Zhang was also a guard."

Ke Rui drank the glass of plum wine in one gulp, with a playful smile on his lips.

Ke Ruwei asked: "What is the necessary connection?"

"If there were no outsiders among your people, what if Ji Zhang really jumped down for selfish reasons in the chaos?" Ke Rui thought thoughtfully, "It's not impossible."

Ke Ruwei was silent.

It is indeed a possibility.

If Ji Zhang took advantage of the chaos and jumped down to save people before her men could act, and at this time, if her men still threw Qu Feiyue down, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

……

The next day was a sunny day.

The sun is shining brightly, driving away much of the winter cold.

Feiying came back from outside and quickly entered the gate of Xinyuan.

"Princess, there is a result."

Shang Tingli quickly put down the book in his hand and said, "Tell me in detail."

Since she came back yesterday, she ordered Feiying to gather information outside and report back as soon as there was any follow-up to yesterday's events.

Unexpectedly, Feiying came back just after noon.

He said: "I heard that the Fourth Prince abandoned Princess Kangping and left her to accompany the ancient Buddha. At this moment, Princess Kangping is already on her way to Qingcheng Temple."

Shang Tingli was not surprised by this result. "Do you know what the emperor's attitude is?"

Feiying scratched his head: "This..."

He clasped his fists and bowed: "Forgive my incompetence."

Of course Shang Tingli could not blame him. It was not so easy to find out information about the emperor. Besides, it was already very good that Feiying could find out what was going on in the palace.

"Go down."

A male voice came from behind him.

Feiying retreated tactfully.

Shang Tingli turned around and saw Ke Xin walking down the corridor. He seemed to be in a good mood, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

[The Fourth Prince has been tricked, but why does he look like he has no worries at all? He looks quite happy? ]

Ke Xin glanced at her and said, "Don't you want to know what the Emperor thinks?"

[Hey, is it possible that you still know? ]

Shang Tingli smiled meekly and said, "Of course I want to know. After all, what happened yesterday was such a big deal, it's impossible that it didn't reach His Majesty's ears."

"Eh? I actually know something about this."

He slowly sat down opposite her and leisurely poured himself a cup of hot tea.

“…”Maybe she should hand him a feather fan?

[Look at this appearance. If it had a tail, would it stick up to the sky? ]

It wasn't that she really wanted to know the consequences, she just endured it.

Shang Tingli asked curiously, "Then could you please tell me about it, Prince?"
