Chapter 135 He is the Prime Minister, not the Matchmaker

Chu Li was so angry that she pulled out a whip from her waist and swung it with a loud bang. Her anger caused the farce that had just ended to be stirred up again.

Prince Chen was angry: "Miss Chu, what are you doing?"

How could Chu Li be frightened by him? As he walked towards Shui Xie, he said angrily, "The feng shui of Prince Chen's mansion is really not good. Even the maids and servants can't behave properly and seduce men from time to time."

King Chen was furious when he heard this: "You..."

Chu Li said provocatively, "If Ji Lingchuan really did something wrong today, I will definitely go to the emperor to seek justice."

"If I remember correctly, Miss Chu had asked for the imperial decree to cancel the engagement when she came back from Lucheng, right?" Prince Chen took a deep breath and said, "You are both unmarried, what has Miss Chu done?"

"What's the point of singing?" Chu Li kept walking and shouted back, "I don't have the tolerance of my sister-in-law. If Ji Lingchuan really did something wrong, no matter what kind of woman she is, I will kill her."

After Chu Li's commotion, Prince Chen wondered if something went wrong with the princess's arrangement and that the person who designed the plan was mistakenly replaced by Ji Lingchuan?

If this really happens...

It would be of great help to me if the Ji family took control of the army.

He just didn't believe that Chu Li really dared to kill someone in Prince Chen's Mansion.

**

The waterside bamboo house of Prince Chen's Mansion is located in the eastern garden. In early spring, a slightly cold wind blows across the lake, stirring up ripples.

The water pavilion was right in front of him, but Chu Li stopped.

She was eager to rush in and grab the person just now, but she hesitated. An inexplicable tension enveloped her. What if...

What would she do if Ji Lingchuan really did something ridiculous?

Even if he was being plotted against, Chu Li could not accept it.

A group of people followed King Chen here. These officials were not fools. They had committed one scandal after another, but they had not been able to accomplish anything. It was obvious that King Chen's plan had failed.

Looking at him now, his face was ashen and gloomy, and he stared at Shui Xie without blinking, like a beast staring at its prey, hoping to gain something from it.

It’s just that this General Ji… has a hot temper and, apart from his engagement with the Duke of Chu, he has never had any involvement with a woman.

Could it be that all his wisdom in his life will be ruined in Prince Chen's Mansion today?

Ji Lingchuan was drinking tea inside the water pavilion. He had heard footsteps outside, but he had no intention of going out.

The two men dressed as women beside him were tied up tightly, with rags stuffed in their mouths. They were mumbling and unable to speak. Even the little sound they made was lost in the breeze and the sound of the water.

"Ji Lingchuan, come out here!" Chu Li swung the whip in his hand, and a corner of the roof of the bamboo house was knocked down.

Princess Chen frowned upon seeing this and winked at the maid beside her.

The maid stepped forward to stop Chu Li who was about to whip her: "Don't worry, young lady. I will go and check it out right away."

"You're not needed. Move aside." Chu Li was annoyed when he saw the people from Prince Chen's mansion. He pushed the maid away and whipped her again.

This time, half of the window of the bamboo house was knocked down directly.

Unfortunately, this window could only see the corners, and after several consecutive blows, the bamboo house was damaged in several places and the door was also opened.

The whispers around them became louder.

"Oh my, what's this about? Miss Chu has brought her lover to Prince Chen's mansion. What will people say if this gets out?"

"What do you know? It's been a long time. If there really is someone inside and they haven't come out for so long, then something must have happened."

"Could it be that General Ji is really having an affair with the maid in the palace..."

The reason why Prince Chen did not say anything to stop him was that he was gambling. If Ji Lingchuan really did this, there would be a rift between him and the Crown Prince, and it would be easy for him to use him for his own purposes.

After a while, there was finally some movement in the bamboo house, and everyone took a deep breath.

The remaining half of the window was opened, and now the situation in the room could be seen roughly. At this glance, everyone was stunned, as they saw that there were indeed two women in the room.

He couldn't help but look at Chu Li, he saw that her eyes were blazing with fire, her ruthless aura affected everyone, and everyone couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Ji Lingchuan, have you made it?"

Ji Lingchuan held back his laughter, opened the door and came out: "Miss Chu, why do you say that?"

The Crown Princess looked disappointed. She had never expected Ji Lingzhong to do such a thing. There were two women in the room. It was simply ridiculous.

Ruan Qinghuan observed carefully, but felt that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it for a moment.

It was not until a long while later that one of the maids moved. The sunlight outside just happened to hit her profile, revealing the protruding Adam's apple on her neck.

He let out a sigh of relief and pinched He'an's arm without making a sound.

He'an felt the pain but had to endure it.

As smart as the lady is, she was seen through so quickly.

Ruan Qinghuan came to the Crown Princess' side, and knowing that she was worried about Chu Li, she whispered a few words in her ear.

The Crown Princess was slightly surprised when she heard this, and then she looked at the woman in the window. After a careful look, she found that she actually had an Adam's apple. She said, what kind of vision does Ji Lingchuan have? How could he like such a strong woman?

Man dressed as a woman?

What is Prince Chen doing now?

The Crown Princess wanted to tell Chu Li about this, but Ruan Qinghuan stopped her and said, "Don't be anxious, Crown Princess. Wait and see how Chu Li responds."

Crown Princess: “…”

That's right. Ever since returning from Lucheng, Li'er's mind has changed. Although she has feelings for Ji Lingchuan, she dares not take another step forward.

Not far away, the two men were facing each other, and Chu Li was left speechless by his questions.

Yes, what right does she have to ask that? It was clearly her who proposed to cancel the engagement, and it was clearly her who said she wanted to let go...

But why did her heart hurt so much at this moment? Every breath she took felt like it was being pulled.

Before she found the person, she was holding on to her anger. Now that she found the person, her anger has dissipated. The usually domineering daughter of the Duke of Guo shed tears at this moment: "Yes, this is not a question I should ask."

After saying this, Chu Li dropped the whip in his hand and suddenly turned around: "My lords, please bear witness today that what I just said was just an angry remark. I dare not hurt anyone in Prince Chen's Mansion, let alone General Ji's sweetheart. This farce ends here."

The Crown Princess stepped forward with concern: "You, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Chu Li was almost unable to hold back, but still looked stubborn: "No, cousin, I'm tired, I'm going home first."

Ji Lingchuan just wanted to test her feelings, but he didn't expect her to be so sad. He felt so distressed that he stepped forward to stop her: "Li'er, it's not what you think. Let me explain."

Chu Li didn't want to hear anything now: "Get out of the way."

Ji Lingchuan knew that the show could not go on, and gave He An a look for help.

He An was speechless. He was the prime minister, not Hongniang.

The solution he had come up with was so poor that it would not work out, and it would involve him and his wife.

He An glanced at the complacent King Chen and was about to speak, but his wife interrupted him: "Strange, how can a woman have an Adam's apple?"
