"It's not your turn to be presumptuous here! You dare to take the opportunity to insult Her Royal Highness, and when I return to Her Royal Highness, I will see if you can live!"

"Sweet."

Zhan Xinglan saw Ding Tian being beaten, and hurriedly went up to help her up.

A red slap mark was made on her snow-white face, but Tian'er didn't cry, but just looked at Tan Xiang's eyes with a little more disgust.

Zhan Xinglan touched Ding Tian's face with distressed eyes, and immediately rounded his arm, turned around, and slapped Tan Xiang hard.

"Ahh

The slap of a martial artist is not something that everyone can afford to eat.

With this slap, Tan Xiang's face instantly burned with pain, and the five finger prints were almost bleeding.

Zhan Xinglan raised his eyebrows and glared, "This princess warns you, if you dare to move a single hair of the three of them again, the next time you will be beaten not with a slap but with a stick, you know!"

Tanka covered her cheeks with her hands, tears and snot flowed down her face.

"The maid was given to the Ling Mansion by Her Royal Highness the Queen, how dare the princess insult the maid so much."

"Didn't you hear what Little Lady Ding said? Since you have entered the Lingwang Mansion, then you are still a member of my Lingwang Mansion. If you are still thinking about Her Royal Highness, this princess can send you back, and then go to Your Majesty to complain, and say that you, the servant given by Her Royal Highness, have committed a crime, and Your Majesty will surely be angry with Her Royal Highness. When the time comes, this princess will see if Her Royal Highness will protect you or kill you!"

Zhan Xinglan rubbed his hands as he spoke.

After all, the effect of force is mutual, this slap is really not light, and her hand is also painful, but she still maintains a proud posture.

You can't lose in momentum.

Tan Xiang covered her face and couldn't speak, and that day she secretly met the queen when King Ling and Princess Ling went to ask His Majesty for peace.

The queen ordered her to secretly stir up the Ling Palace, if she was sued by Princess Ling before she could do anything, then even if she was not punished by His Majesty, she would be punished by the queen.

Tan Xiang said breathlessly, "Yes, the maid knows, and she will never dare to talk nonsense in the future."

Zhan Xinglan took Ding Tian's hand and walked straight past Tan Xiang's side, not even giving her a look.

Tan Xiang snorted and watched their big and small figures leave, and glanced at the two of them fiercely.

Ding Tian was silent along the way, and Zhan Xinglan couldn't help but ask, "Tian'er, but she hurt you?"

Ding Tian shook her head, "Tian'er doesn't hurt, Tian'er just feels that her strength is meager and she can't protect her sister."

"Silly sweet, you're still young, so you don't need to worry about it. What's more, Brother Qingchen told me that when you were in Qianerzhuang, whether you were learning words or settling accounts, you learned very quickly and very well. Tian'er is so smart, she will definitely be able to protect her sister in the future."

Zhan Xinglan held Ding Tian's little hand tightly, feeling very sorry for her.

Ding Tian bit her lip, frowned her little brows, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly to Zhan Xinglan, "Sister, Tian'er wants to practice martial arts."

"What?"

Zhan Xinglan thought he had misheard.

"If Tian'er knows martial arts, she can protect her sister like Brother Qingchen."

Ding Tian's sincere and firm eyes looked straight at Zhan Xinglan.

Zhan Xinglan touched Ding Tian's face lovingly, she knew that Ding Tian had completely regarded her as her sister, and she wanted to learn martial arts in order to better protect her.

Thinking of this, Zhan Xinglan's nose was a little pantothenic.

"Okay, whatever Tian'er wants to learn, my sister will support you."

It is so rare that such an immature little girl has gone through so much suffering, and she can still have a pure heart.

But what Zhan Xinglan didn't know was that Ding Tianyuan had fallen into the abyss.

It was she and Li Qingchen who pulled Ding Tian back from the abyss, so Ding Tian would only give all his sincerity to her and Li Qingchen except for his father.

There are a lot of visitors to Lingwang's Mansion today, and when it was time, Ke Jingfeng secretly entered Lingwang's Mansion through the back door.

In the study, Fu Xuanlin had been waiting for Ke Jingfeng for a long time.

"The minister knocks to see His Royal Highness King Ling."

"Ke Xianggong, please get up."

The huge study room is comparable to the main courtyard of ordinary people, and every time he comes in, Ke Jingfeng can't help but sigh: How good it would be if this was his Ke Jingfeng's mansion.

"I don't know why His Royal Highness King Ling summoned his ministers here today?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that this king wants to ask Ke Xianggong if he can get the left guard of the East Palace, Yin Sixteen?"

"Naturally, this person is the prince's confidant."

"Then do you know where this person is now?"

"A while ago, Zichen heard the news of Yin Sixteen's death, so he must have been buried deep in the loess at this time."

There was nothing wrong with the two of them asking and answering, but Fu Xuanlin carefully observed his subtle expression.

"When the king returned to Beijing for disaster relief, he was secretly attacked by Yin Sixteen, and this king was blessed by His Majesty and escaped a catastrophe, and then ordered someone to tie up Yin Sixteen and prepare to escort him back to Beijing. But the strange thing is that on the way back to Beijing, Yin Sixteen was taken away by a mysterious person and did not know where to go. This king originally thought that the prince sent someone to do it, but a while ago, he heard that Yin Sixteen died violently in the wilderness, I wonder if this matter is from the hand of Ke Xianggong?"

"Your Highness is joking, the minister has never done this."

Fu Xuanlin sneered, "It doesn't matter if Xianggong Ke doesn't admit it, you and I know it in our hearts. Ke Xianggong's move was nothing more than to make the prince think that the king had killed Yin Sixteen, so as to arouse the hatred between the prince and the king. As long as the king wants to bring down the prince, he must win over Ke Xianggong as a spear to hit the prince's vital point. I wonder if the king's inference is correct."

Hearing such a careful inference, Ke Jingfeng didn't pretend anymore, "His Royal Highness King Ling is extremely intelligent, and it is a blessing for a minister to be able to get such a good lord."

"Ke Xianggong is the example of this king. However, since Ke Xianggong and this king are in the same boat, this king also has something to tell Ke Xianggong."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Fu Xuanlin's eyes suddenly sharpened, "This king has always disliked others to coerce this king with shady means, and I hope that Ke Xianggong will not do such despicable methods in the future. Otherwise, this king will not be able to guarantee that he will be able to keep the reputation of Ke Xianggong."

Ke Jingfeng looked at his eyes, and a trace of coolness rose on his back.

He remembered that Fu Xuanlin still had his daughter's confession in his hand, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, the minister will never do it again."

"Someone, send off!"

Fu Xuanlin's voice almost scared Ke Jingfeng's fragile heart out of trouble.

"The minister retired."

Ke Jingfeng stepped back, and Baili Mo walked in.

Fu Xuanlin asked with concern, "Where is the princess now?"

"The lady of the Qiu family is here, and she is waiting for the princess in the front hall at the moment."

The front hall of the Lingwang Mansion is luxurious and magnificent, and even the palace of the imperial city is nothing more than that.

Qiu Chuyan was shocked when he first came in.

She fidgeted and waited for Zhan Xinglan until she heard footsteps from far and near, and then hurriedly stood up.

Zhan Xinglan led Ding Tian in.

"Chu Yan."

Qiu Chuyan saw Zhan Xinglan and hurriedly saluted, "The courtiers pay tribute to the princess."

Zhan Xinglan angrily lifted her up, "What are you doing here? Hurry up."

"Now that you are the princess, your identity is different, and the courtiers should pay homage to the princess."

Seeing her so distant, Zhan Xinglan pretended to be angry and withdrew his hand to his chest, turned his head and pretended to be angry.

"Chu Yan is so estranged, he doesn't want me as a sister, even if that's the case, today you and I will cut off our robes and break our righteousness."

Seeing this, Qiu Chuyan was anxious, and hurriedly explained, "It's not a courtier, ah no, it's not that I'm alienating you, it's just that the rules and etiquette must not be followed."

Zhan Xinglan turned his head to look at Qiu Chuyan with a wrong expression, and was instantly deflated.

She reached out and grabbed Qiu Chuyan's arm and sat down side by side with her.

"The princess is just a name, and if you and I are alienated by this name, it is not worth it."

Qiu Chuyan pursed her lips and nodded.

Ding Tian on the side silently observed everything, saw the two of them sitting down, hurriedly stepped forward to serve tea, and then obediently stood by Zhan Xinglan's side.

"You haven't been out since that incident." Zhan Xinglan knew what she was afraid of, "Actually, Yuan Mingzhe has already been sent to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, you don't have to be so trembling."

"Xinglan, you don't know, every once in a while, he asks Shu Yi to send me letterheads, all of which are unsightly words. I had nightmares every night during this time, and he tormented me every night like a nightmare. Xinglan, I'm really scared."

Qiu Chuyan's cold hands clenched Zhan Xinglan, like holding a life-saving straw.

She shuddered as soon as she thought of the letters.

Zhan Xinglan was very annoyed in her heart, she was a good girl, but she was scared like this by a shameless and obscene person.

"Chu Yan, are you talking about Yuan Shuyi and Yuan Erlangjun born to your aunt?"

"Not bad."

"I remember that on the day I married King Ling, he offered to speak to me. Look at him, he is also a weak scholar, but he turned out to be Yuan Mingzhe's accomplice."

"No, Shu Yi is kind-hearted, he doesn't know what Yuan Mingzhe has done. When he learned the contents of those letters, he didn't help Yuan Mingzhe send me letters anymore. But yesterday Shuyi went to Qiufu to find me, saying that Yuan Mingzhe was docile and well-behaved in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city. When my uncle found out, he relented, and I am afraid that he will be brought back soon."

"It's really a prodigal son who mixes flowers, his acting skills are first-class, if he comes back, I'm afraid he will still harass you." Zhan Xinglan pondered for a moment, and said solemnly, "I have two ways to make him stop bothering you, but ......

As soon as he heard that Zhan Xinglan had a way, Qiu Chuyan's eyes lit up.

"No matter what the method, as long as I can get rid of Yuan Mingzhe, I am willing."

Zhan Xinglan looked at her embarrassed, "One of them is to find a family affair for you as soon as possible, as long as you get married, presumably Yuan Mingzhe will never have bad intentions." As for the second ......."

She paused, and her heart struggled for a moment before she spoke.

"The second is to escape into the empty gate, go to the Tianyuan Temple in the capital to practice for a period of time, and after I find a way to get rid of Yuan Mingzhe in the name of righteousness, I can find a reason for you to return to the world."

Qiu Chuyan's cold hand froze on Zhan Xinglan's hand.

She lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time.
