Although Princess Pingnan said harsh words, she also knew clearly that killing Ye Junfei was not an easy task.
Because Ye Junfei was very meticulous in his actions and had strong martial arts skills, as well as weapons made by Lin Xiuyan for self-defense.
And they had done it too many times in the past, so frequently that he became extremely wary.
Conventional assassination and assassination may not work. To kill Ye Junfei, you have to use resourcefulness.
Princess Pingnan knew clearly that she alone could not do anything to Ye Junfei.
And now that the Zhou family has left the palace, the Hu family must have become dissatisfied with her.
In this case, she still needs to go back to her mother's side and personally appease the Hu clan.
She looked at Ye Jing and said casually: "Don't interfere with Ye Junfei's affairs recently. Recuperate first."
"As long as you behave well, the Hu family will do their best to help you become King Pingnan."
Ye Jingxian nodded slightly, feeling a little irritable, but he also knew that recuperating from his injuries was the top priority now.
This time he was injured, which made him feel quite gloomy.
His originally cold eyebrows were now filled with an extremely strong aura of hostility.
He has been in a bad mood recently, can't eat anything, can't sleep well, and has lost a lot of weight.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Concubine, you have to hurry up, don't let Ye Junfei continue to be so arrogant."
He was raised as a prince since he was a child, and he considered himself to be very outstanding in terms of ability and strategy.
He really didn't pay much attention to Ye Junfei before, because the power they held was so different.
But this time he was defeated at the hands of Ye Junfei, and a lot of his rights were taken away. The sense of crisis in his heart became even stronger.
Princess Pingnan patted his shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be there for everything."
After she left Ye Jingxian's place, she saw Ye Mingzhu walking towards her with red eyes: "Concubine! What should I do?"
Princess Pingnan's heart skipped a beat when she saw her like this: "What are you doing?"
Ye Mingzhu wiped away her tears and said, "There is news from Qu Mansion that brother Feng fell into the water and caught the wind and cold, and wants to postpone the wedding."
The brother Feng she mentioned was her fiancé.
Their wedding was originally scheduled for next month, and Ye Mingzhu had been looking forward to this marriage for a long time.
Princess Pingnan's face looked a little ugly. She knew that such news came from Qu Mansion at this time, but it was because they had lost power recently.
After all, the weather is hot now, and it is impossible to catch wind chill easily.
Not to mention that Qu Feng has practiced martial arts all year round and is not a weak scholar.
She clenched her hands into fists and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to Qu Mansion to ask about the specific situation."
The Qu family is the second most powerful family in Liefeng Prefecture after the Hu family.
Moreover, the Qu family is different from the Hu family. The current patriarch of their family is a erudite scholar and has an excellent reputation in Liefeng State.
The reason why Princess Pingnan agreed to marry Ye Mingzhu to Qu Feng was because of the reputation of the Qu family.
As the future head of the Qu family, Qu Feng is not only knowledgeable and rich, but also has good martial arts and good health.
What she thought was that Ye Jingxian had the support of the Hu family and the Qu family to help spread his reputation. In this way, it would be smoother for him to become the crown prince and inherit the throne.
But she really didn't expect that Mr. Qu would postpone the wedding at this time.
Ye Mingzhu liked Qu Feng very much. When she heard the news that he had contracted the cold, she was very worried about him and had not thought of anything deeper.
When she heard Princess Pingnan say this, she said, "Concubine, can you ask the medical sage to take a look at Brother Feng?"
Princess Pingnan got a headache when she heard the word "Medical Sage". After all, the last time the Medical Sage tricked Ye Jingxian was not ordinary.
Moreover, the medical sage is obviously Ye Junfei's person. Asking the medical sage to see a doctor is simply causing trouble for yourself!
She took a deep breath and said, "It's just a cold, there's no need to call a doctor."
"Don't worry, I will ask about this matter clearly."
Ye Mingzhu felt a little relieved after hearing what she said.
It's just that Princess Pingnan's people haven't left the palace to go to Qufu yet, but Qufu sent people to the door again.
This time it was Qu Feng's aunt who came. As soon as Ye Mingzhu heard that she was coming, she wanted to ask about Qu Feng's situation.
Mrs. Qu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Feng'er's condition is very serious this time. As an aunt, I am very worried."
Ye Mingzhu became even more panicked when Mrs. Qu said this, but Princess Pingnan's face darkened: "I wonder if Madam has anything else to do when she comes to the palace today?"
Mrs. Qu wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and then said: "There is indeed one more thing."
Princess Pingnan looked at her, she smiled and said: "My youngest son is the same age as the princess, and I want to ask the princess to marry her."
Princess Pingnan's expression immediately changed. This time, even Ye Mingzhu noticed something was wrong: "Are you asking for the princess to marry my brother Zheng?"
Mrs. Qu said with a smile: "Zheng'er met the princess many years ago and has never forgotten her."
"Because there is a two-year age difference between the two of them, I'm embarrassed to mention it."
"Now that the princess is not married yet, Zheng'er still has the princess in her heart. As a mother, I can only shamelessly come to the palace for a visit."
After she finished speaking, she seemed a little embarrassed and said: "I know that Feng'er is ill at this time, so it would be inappropriate for me to come to the palace to ask Zheng'er to marry the princess."
"It's just that the princess also knows that being a mother is not easy for us mothers. We always hope that our children will be happy."
"Furthermore, my family has been a little sad recently because of Feng'er's illness, and I need a little joy to cheer him up."
Ye Mingzhu jumped up when she heard this and stood up. She looked at Mrs. Qu and said, "What do you mean?"
Mrs. Qu said calmly: "I just want to marry the princess for Zheng'er, I have no other intention!"
After she finished speaking, she said to Princess Pingnan: "Please don't misunderstand me, Princess."
Princess Pingnan looked at her coldly, and she looked back with a smile, looking gentle but not flinching at all.
Princess Pingnan also smiled when she saw her like this: "Madam is right."
"It's just that Madam should also know that the princess is not born to me. She has always been very independent. I can't decide her marriage."
"If Madam wants to marry the princess for your son, I'm afraid she will have to ask the princess in person."
Mrs. Qu smiled and said: "No matter what, the princess is the mother of the princess."
"I must tell the princess about the princess's marriage first. As long as the princess agrees, there will be no problem in coming to the princess."
Princess Pingnan raised her eyebrows slightly: "You are wrong about this. I have never been able to be the master of the princess."
"As long as Madam can convince the princess, I have no objection to this marriage."
