After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

"Princess Fanghua nodded with a red face after hearing what Zhou Zheng said, but another maid stepped forward to stop her, saying that they should wait for the doctor to come. Princess Fanghua got angry and said that the maid wanted to make her die of pain. Zhou Zheng stepped forward after hearing this and pretended to lift Princess Fanghua's feet and fiddled with them. Princess Fanghua cried out in pain for a while, then said it was okay. The two of them tossed around for a long time until Princess Yongan came with the others.

"Second brother, didn't you see Zhou Zheng's expression when he heard someone calling Princess Yong'an? What's that called? Sister Chuan'er, what was the word you said last time?"

"He was instantly petrified on the spot." Chuan'er laughed.

"Yes, that's the word. After seeing Fang Hua being examined by the doctor and told that she was fine, and limping over to him with the hand of a palace maid to thank him, Zhou Zheng's face turned red. Haha, I had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing."

Zhou Yu smiled and asked, "Who saw it?"

"Princess Yong'an brought the imperial physician, as well as palace maids and nannies, followed by two guards. There weren't many people, but it was enough. Princess Fanghua eagerly introduced Zhou Zheng to Princess Yong'an, saying that he saved her life. Haha, the carriage was about to turn the last small corner, and Princess Fanghua's hair wasn't even messy, and she was still grateful for saving her life. Princess Yong'an thanked Zhou Zheng on Fanghua's behalf, saying that she was very grateful to Master Zhou for saving Princess Fanghua, and that she would report to the Emperor and the Empress and ask for a reward when she returned to the palace."

"What's Princess Yong'an's expression?" Meng Wan asked.

"I was surprised. When they arrived, Zhou Zheng was still holding Fang Hua's feet. Even though they were wearing shoes, their expressions and eyes were so funny that I was dying of laughter."

"What was Princess Yong'an's expression when she looked at Zhou Zheng?" Zhou Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Brother, do you want to ask if Princess Yong'an has a crush on Zhou Zheng? Hehe, in my opinion, she is not like that. She was just surprised. She looked at the two of them, one squatting and holding someone's feet, and the other sitting with her legs raised high. At first, she frowned and looked a little unhappy. After hearing the servant say that he is the legitimate son of Prince Shen's Mansion, Princess Yong'an breathed a sigh of relief. After Princess Fanghua introduced him to her with a blushing face, Princess Yong'an smiled."

Meng Wan nodded. She didn't know whether Zhou Yingning knew about what happened today. If she didn't know, then Hu had kept it a secret from Zhou Yingning both times. If she hadn't kept it a secret, perhaps the outcome would have been different. She didn't know if Zhou Yingning would be even more resentful of Hu's actions this time.

From the last incident, Meng Wan sensitively felt that Zhou Yingning's abnormality was not just because she was scared, she had an inexplicable hostile and negative emotion towards Hu.

------

After listening to Zhou Zheng's words, Mrs. Hu sat back in her chair and murmured, "How could this happen? Didn't we make all the arrangements? There are people from Concubine Xian in the palace to help, and Master Hong San and Yu Kun are watching outside. How could something like this happen?"

Zhou Zheng threw the teacup in his hand away fiercely, which scared Mrs. Hu. Her son had never shown such emotion before.

Mrs. Hu looked at her son's red eyes and thought about what he had just said.

Zhou Zheng followed the original plan and sent Zhou Yingning to the "Hundred Flowers Garden" and then moved to the row of houses in the backyard. He paid the money and said that he came with the young lady and wanted to find a place to rest. These houses were originally for the servants of the noble ladies to rest. A young man came and gave money, so those people were naturally happy and wanted to find a clean and comfortable one for them. Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said no, and chose an inconspicuous one.

In fact, this room was chosen long ago, because the guests here today are all noble ladies, so the protection measures are very thorough, and three layers of guards are set up from this row of houses to the corner of the garden. If it were in other rooms, let alone saving people at the foot of the mountain, it would be impossible to even get in.

However, the room that Zhou Zheng entered had a back door. From there, one could go around a row of flower walls and enter through a hidden corner door.

If you go forward and bypass the guards, you will reach the foot of the mountain. If you ask about it later, Zhou Zheng has a ready-made excuse. That is, when he came out to use the toilet, he heard someone shouting for help, and there was no one else nearby, so he followed the sound in a hurry.

Their original plan was to have the bribed maidservant around Princess Yong'an dirty her clothes on the top of the mountain, and then the princess would go change her clothes. By the time she was done, the others had already gone from the corridor to the "lotus pond". Then the maidservant who had been arranged here in advance would pick some flowers to please Yong'an, and with the help of the maidservant, Princess Yong'an would fall behind. Even if there were several noble ladies around her, she would not be afraid. The maidservant that Hu Yukun had found was skilled in martial arts, and it was not difficult to "accidentally" make Princess Yong'an fall, so that there would be an accident without being discovered.

But when Zhou Zheng heard the cry for help and rushed out, he found that a carriage had overturned, and the old woman he had met yesterday was not there. He only saw a young lady sitting on the grass and getting angry at the servants, and the servants tried to help her, calling her "Princess", but were slapped back by the young lady.

Zhou Zheng didn't have time to think about it. He thought that maybe something happened and the woman had to change her method. After seeing that the young lady was wearing the color and style of clothes he had inquired about in the morning, Zhou Zheng pulled his clothes and ran out quickly.

"What should we do now? When your father just came out of the palace, the captain of the guards had already expressed his congratulations." There was a hint of tears in Hu's voice.

Zhou Zheng stood up and walked around a few times. "What went wrong? When I sent Sister Ning to the garden gate, the person arranged by Mr. Hong San told me that everything went well. When I met my eldest cousin yesterday, the maid and gardener he arranged were also fine. We walked along the path and corridor and chose the best spot. The maid tried her skills and was really good. We didn't react in time, and the gardener who followed fell out. We also had our eyes on that spot. If the princess fell, she would not be injured."

Mrs. Hu stood up and walked to her son's side. "There won't be any problems in the palace. Because of this matter, Princess Jing specially sent a nanny to tell me what Princess Yong'an wore and what jewelry she wore. Did you see Princess Fanghua dressed like that today?"

Zhou Zheng said irritably, "Of course, otherwise why would I rush out when it was obviously not the same as what we planned."

"It's all because of Princess Fanghua. She wears the same clothes as Princess Yong'an and competes with Princess Yong'an in everything. She doesn't even think about the fact that it's her birthday. Why is she still comparing herself with her at this time?" Mrs. Hu said angrily.

Zhou Zheng sat down slowly, "Mom, could it be that someone is taking advantage of Princess Fanghua?"

"What do you mean?"

"I have not deliberately concealed the fact that I want to marry Princess Yong'an. We are making arrangements. What about them?" Zhou Zheng said while looking in the direction of Qinghe Garden.

"How is that possible? How could he have that ability? Can he arrange the affairs in the palace?"

"Meng's sister is the princess and she often goes to the palace." Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice.

"That's impossible. Meng Qi is a joke. Prince Rui doesn't even look at her. I heard that she gets into trouble every time she enters the palace. Especially with Princess Fanghua, she has quarreled so many times that even the emperor has a headache. Will Princess Fanghua help her?" Mrs. Hu looked disdainful.

Zhou Zheng tapped the table lightly, "What happened? Is it an accident? Sister Ning's incident was an accident, and mine was another accident. Mom, do you believe it?"

Mrs. Hu also sat down. After hearing what her son said, she began to think carefully. "Zheng'er, do you mean that they really did it?"

"Besides them, I really can't think of anyone else who wouldn't want me to marry Princess Yong'an."

"But according to today's situation, if you marry Princess Fanghua, is that what they want? Although Princess Fanghua is not as good as Princess Yongan, she is more favored by the emperor than Princess Yongan. If you get married and Princess Fanghua asks for mercy, perhaps the emperor will make you the crown prince in advance. I don't believe that if it was really them who did it, they would be so busy just to make you the crown prince in advance?"

Zhou Zheng rubbed his forehead when he heard what Hu said. Yes, Princess Fanghua was also a princess. Although her status and character were not good, she was the princess loved by the emperor. According to the information he had obtained, if the emperor only had two years to live, he would marry Fanghua next year at the latest. It was not impossible for him to coax Fanghua to fight for the position of the crown prince for him.

Who did it, or was it just an accident?

"Brother Zheng, what should we do now?" Mrs. Hu looked at her son with a frown on his face and asked worriedly.

"What else can I do? My father has been congratulated." There was a sense of disappointment in Zhou Zheng's voice that could not be missed. Thinking of the real Princess Yong'an he saw today, Zhou Zheng closed his eyes tightly.

"But Princess Fanghua's temper is really... After what happened with Sister Ning in the first month of the year, how are they supposed to get along in the future?" Mrs. Hu said disappointedly.

"Let's settle Sister Ning's marriage before she marries in. We can't just be confrontational. At least in the beginning, we still need her."

Mrs. Hu stood up and said, "Yes, let's do this for now. When King Jing takes that position, even if she is a princess, she still has to look at the mood of her mother-in-law. When the time comes, I will find a better one for you."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's review today's speech first, and then ask someone to invite father over."
