He Zheng's expression relaxed.
Jiang Qingyao began to talk about the benefits of these things again.
"Now that Prince An is out of the game and has lost his competitiveness, he can only be a prince in this life."
The heir to the throne cannot be disabled, and Prince An has both legs disabled and one eye blind, so there is no hope.
If he rebelled, Emperor Jinde would definitely deal with him.
"I didn't set the trap. Even if they investigate, they can't trace it back to me."
"So what if I plotted against him? Prince An wouldn't dare to tell anyone anyway. If he comes to pester me and covets someone else's wife, it will only ruin the good reputation he has worked so hard to build over the years."
"Prince An can only accept his defeat in silence."
"Jiang Shuning was arrested. She would have implicated me, but she has no evidence."
At this moment, He Zheng spoke, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Qingyao was stunned. "This matter has been handed over to the Grand Commandant's Office."
She reacted and her eyes turned into crescents as she smiled, "Does the Marquis have someone in the Grand Commandant's Mansion?"
Isn't that an institution affiliated with the emperor? If he has connections there, then he has a lot of room to maneuver.
What Your Majesty sees is what he wants Your Majesty to see.
He Zheng then sat down beside her and hummed softly.
His answer was very reassuring.
Jiang Qingyao's face lit up with joy, and she leaned on his arm, "Then I won't even have to deal with the interrogation of the Grand Commandant's Office."
Wonderful!
Even after getting rid of Prince An, Jiang Qingyao saw that He Zheng was not in high spirits and seemed to never take Prince An seriously.
She asked tentatively, "Is the Marquis angry?"
Angry at her for taking such a risk? Angry at her for saying things she didn't mean?
He Zheng said calmly, "Do you care about Prince Kang?"
King Kang? Did he notice?
But during the entire autumn hunt, she only glanced at King Kang once. Could it be that he discovered everything with just that one glance?
Jiang Qingyao decided to give him a tough time and immediately put her arms around He Zheng's neck.
She leaned over to his ear and said, "Are you jealous?"
She thought she wouldn't hear the answer, but He Zheng put his arm around her waist.
He Zheng's eyes grew darker, but he remained calm as he spoke, "I do feel a hint of jealousy."
Is that a thread?!
She smelled like a huge jar of vinegar had been overturned.
But he still said "a little bit" with that cold and ruthless face.
The light illuminated He Zheng's face, and he lowered his gaze. "Yaoyao, just give me a kiss, and it will be fine."
How could he say such a thing seriously?
Jiang Qingyao was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, she covered He Zheng's face with her hands and kissed him awkwardly.
