In addition, only the current ministers of the bodyguard office, Wang Hongkuo and Ge Wei, are the most suitable.

Although Ge Wei was not an official in the court, but the imperial bodyguard was a third-rank military officer, even higher than the third-rank Kang Feng. Besides, everyone in the court and the public knew that he was Helian Chunfeng's confidant. For Lu Lianmu, he might be a better choice.

But Kang Feng has already shied away from the marriage due to physical reasons, so Ge Wei must not be able to repeat the same trick. Is it true that Ge Wei will marry Lu Pinglu?

Helian Chunfeng rubbed the center of his brows: "We can only play by ear."

On the other hand, Kang Feng also knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, so he took the poison and antidote that night after returning home, and according to Hua Baisu's instructions, the next morning, he complained of illness and did not attend the morning court.

Helian Chunfeng sent an imperial physician to the mansion to treat him, and later the imperial physician reported back that it was an old injury General Kang had suffered on the battlefield in the past, and now it has recurred, and he needs to rest for a few days.

But not long after, the news that General Kang suffered an old injury and could no longer have children spread in the government and the public. Apart from expressing their regret, they also began to discuss the situation of Kang Feng and whether there will be any women willing to marry into the Kang family in the future.

Hearing these discussions, Ge Wei couldn't sit still for the first time, taking advantage of the rest of the day, he immediately left the palace and went to Kangfeng's mansion.

The two had a good relationship on weekdays, and everyone in Kang's residence knew about it, so Ge Wei had always come and gone freely in Kang's residence, but this day he was stopped outside Kang Feng's room.

The housekeeper of Kang's house looked embarrassed: "Master Ge, our general has ordered that no one should enter without authorization."

But the more this is the case, the more doubts in Ge Wei's heart: "What happened to Kang Feng? Let me go in and have a look."

Kang Feng went out with Helian Chunfeng back then, so injuries on the battlefield were unavoidable, but Ge Wei had never heard of Kang Feng being seriously injured before, let alone leaving such a serious hidden danger.

Ge Wei thought he knew Kang Feng better than anyone else. This time when Kang Feng suddenly reported his illness, he didn't know about it, and there were still such rumors circulating in the court. No matter how he thought about it, he felt a little strange, and he was about to charge in with his sword.

But the housekeeper dared to let people in like this, and blocked the door firmly: "Master Ge, don't embarrass the little one."

The two stood in a stalemate outside the door for a long time. At this moment, Kang Feng's voice came from inside the room: "Uncle Hong, let Brother Ge come in."

Kang Feng's voice sounded a little weak, the housekeeper stepped aside, Ge Wei didn't care about anything else, he opened the door and entered the room.

As Hua Baisu said, the poison that Kang Feng took was very toxic, even if he took the antidote immediately, it would not be harmless to his body, so Kang Feng could only rest in bed for the past few days, very weak.

Ge Wei saw the pale Kang Feng on the bed, stepped forward a few steps, and said in disbelief: "You really have a relapse of your old injury? When did you get the injury? Why is it so serious?"

Kang Feng was not good at lying, and he didn't know how to speak in front of Ge Wei. After hesitating for a while, he just looked away and said, "Why is Brother Ge coming here at this time?"

With his appearance, Ge Wei was even more sure that there was something different, so he skipped his question and said sharply: "What's the matter? Can't you tell me the truth? You know that there are rumors in the court that you are unable to have children because of old injuries. Is this true or false? Or is it related to Your Majesty?"

The imperial physician sent here was from Helian Chunfeng. Apart from Helian Chunfeng, Ge Wei couldn't think of anyone else who would have the guts to fabricate rumors and spread them in the court.

Kang Feng didn't know how to speak at all, so he coughed a few times in a hurry, Ge Wei consciously slipped his words, and stepped forward to help him up from the bed: "Sorry, I'm a little anxious."

Kang Feng shook his head, neither of them spoke for a while.

I don't know how long it has passed, Ge Wei seemed to compromise, and sighed softly: "If you really don't want to tell me, then that's all, I won't force you."

From Ge Wei's point of view, the two had practiced martial arts together since childhood and lived together in the palace. They had never had any secrets before, but now Kang Feng obviously wanted to hide it from him.

It's not that Kang Feng doesn't understand that if he insists on not speaking, Ge Wei can't do anything, but he couldn't see Ge Wei showing disappointment, and after hesitating for a while, he compromised and said: "It's not an old injury, but I asked Her Royal Highness for a kind of poison."

"Poison?" Hearing this, Ge Wei suddenly stood up from the bed, and asked incredulously, "Why?"

Since Kang Feng opened his mouth, he didn't mind to continue talking, so he talked about everything that happened since the disaster relief, including the solution that Hua Baisu came up with in the end.

"Such a big thing... you actually told me now!" Ge Wei gritted his teeth, angry and distressed.

Kang Feng smiled wryly: "Even Your Majesty and His Highness the Queen have no better solution. What I said is just adding trouble to Brother Ge."

Ge Wei frowned: "The Kelu family is also His Majesty's mother's family, and has not lost power in the court. I heard that Xiangguo's daughter is good-looking. She was raised as a queen since she was a child, and she must have a good temperament. Why do you waste yourself so much in order to refuse this marriage?"

Kang Feng didn't expect that he would confess to Ge Wei, and what he got in return was this sentence. His heart ached so much that he couldn't help it. After a while, he asked softly: "Brother Ge wants me to marry the daughter of Xiangguo?"

Ge Wei is older than Kang Feng, and has always claimed to be Kang Feng's elder brother, but he just said that subconsciously. When he heard Kang Feng's question, he was stunned, because he found that he was very resistant to Kang Feng's marriage to Xiangguo's daughter. Even if he just thought about it, he felt a very strong sense of discomfort in his heart.

It's just that Ge Wei's silence seemed more like tacit consent in Kang Feng's eyes. He clenched his hands into fists under the cotton quilt, tried his best to restrain his emotions, and then slowly said: "Brother Ge, I'm a little tired, you go back first."

"I didn't mean that. It's just that you not only hurt your body, but also ruined your reputation. The price is too high..." Ge Wei recovered and explained.

It's just that this explanation was even harsher to Kang Feng's ears. He endured it again and again, and finally he couldn't help but raised his head and said: "I like men. If this reputation and even body are ruined, it will be ruined. It's useless if I want it."
