Chapter 112: Catching Thieves and Stealers



Qingqing looked at her master's triumphant smile and whispered, "The princess guessed it a long time ago!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked when she heard this, and pretended to be innocent, "Qingqing, you are wrong. I am just daydreaming. How do I know that someone will really help me realize my dream? Don't you think so? I am not a god who can predict everything."

Phew~

Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she saw her master pretending to be innocent, but she quickly put away her smile. "By the way, why does Princess have to provoke Prince Zhan? In fact, if it weren't for you provoking the prince, he might not have been so petty with you."

"He, Situ Xunxiao, is the most difficult one to deal with. It is most important for me to keep a distance from him. Do you remember the letter you found today?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked with a frown.

Qingqing nodded repeatedly, thinking about how she found the letter in the gap under the couch early this morning, and she secretly congratulated herself.

Qingqing looked at the princess's expression in confusion. She seemed a little uncertain and asked in a low voice, "Princess, didn't you find the letter? What does it have to do with the prince?"

"Qingqing, do you really think that you were flustered last night and didn't look carefully?" Zongzheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing with disapproval.

"Isn't it?" Qingqing asked with frowned eyebrows.

"In my opinion, if someone hadn't taken the letter away and then sent it back, it would be impossible for the letter to reappear." Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned, looking serious.

What?!

At this moment, Qingqing was stunned by the words of her master.

She swallowed, and the freckles on her cheeks moved because of her excessive shock. "Princess, are you saying... that this... this letter has been taken away?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded.

"After taking it away, you also...send it back?"

Sure enough, Qingqing saw her master nodding in response again.

"If that's the case, Princess, does it mean that someone already knows what the Emperor is thinking? Does it mean that even if the Princess doesn't have that intention, she's still being targeted? But Princess, you're obviously innocent!" Qingqing said hurriedly, angrily.

Seeing Qingqing getting so impatient because of being nervous about him, Zong Zheng Xiaoting just gave her a gentle smile and used his eyes to soothe Qingqing to calm down.

Knowing that Qingqing had calmed down, Zongzheng Xiaoting slowly spoke, "I guess the person who took the letter was Situ Xunxiao's man."

"It's the prince!" Qingqing's eyes widened. Until now, the misunderstanding between the prince and the princess has not been resolved. Add to that the letter, wouldn't the princess have to spend the rest of her life under surveillance and suspicion?

Seeing Qingqing's worry, Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled faintly, "Actually, Qingqing, you don't need to worry about this."

unnecessary?

Qingqing didn't understand and blinked in confusion.

"Si Tu Xun Xiao sent this letter back because he certainly didn't want us to find out. He wanted to know ourselves and the enemy so that we could win every battle. He wanted to see what kind of trouble we could stir up so that he could catch us all in one fell swoop. However, this is also a good thing for us." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled lightly, squatted down, and looked at the flowers in the pool.

"Qingqing doesn't understand, how can this be a good thing?"

Zongzheng Xiaoting stretched out his hands to play with the water in the pond, and smiled at Qingqing, "If we had confronted Situ Xunxiao with this letter, even if we refused to admit it, we would still be in danger of death. But now that the letter has been sent back, it is like there is no evidence. Even if he brings this up in the future, it will be useless. As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you can catch a faker; if you catch an adulterer, you can catch both. Now that the letter is gone, how can you find a pretext to accuse me?"

Qingqing saw the princess winking at her proudly, and then she understood the princess's deep meaning, but her frown did not relax. "But Princess, you understand this truth, can't the prince think of it? People say that the God of War is not only good at literature and martial arts, but also has precise calculations. How could such a person not know the harm of sending back the letter?"

Yes, what Qingqing said was what I was worried about! Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing and sighed slowly.

"That's why I've been against Situ Xunxiao in every way. Too many things have told me that I can't afford to offend such a person." Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head. "He sent the letter back, not because he didn't expect it, but because he knew very well that if I wanted to make excuses, the letter would not be enough to prove it. And since that's the case, why bother to make trouble?"

Qingqing narrowed her eyes when she heard this: "If the princess said this, then wouldn't it be a clear provocation to the prince?"

"Qingqing thinks that if you are a smart person, after the truth is revealed, I will return to the post station and a marriage is inevitable. What should I do?"

"Of course I have to do my best to mend the rift between me and the prince." Qingqing blurted out without thinking.

"What if the letter has been discovered?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked again.

"Of course it is better to keep a low profile and avoid the prince."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing without saying a word, just smiling.

Being looked at by her master like this, Qingqing was also a little hesitant. She re-examined the princess' question just now. After a long time, she widened her eyes and said, "Princess, do you want the prince to let down his guard?"

Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled and nodded, "It's just that Situ Xunxiao is too smart. We have already measured him before. If I show myself to be too stupid, he will naturally become suspicious. In this case, I might as well keep my personality and blame him. This way, I can confuse him and wait for an opportunity to act."

Qingqing finally understood what Zongzheng Xiaoting meant by doing this. She said to him with admiration, "Princess is the smartest and wisest princess in the world."

"You, stop talking nonsense." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to Qingqing lovingly, "Seriously, Situ Xunxiao's attitude towards the two princesses is very unclear. Although he intends to use me as a shield and tell Gong Yunluo and Gong Yunfei that he only treats them as sisters, it is not necessarily true that he does not care about them. Before knowing Situ Xunxiao's intentions and feelings, I will not make any counterattacks against their secret moves, so Qingqing, you have to remember, be careful with those two sisters, and be cautious."

Upon hearing this, Qingqing nodded solemnly to Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting was relieved and looked at the water. Although Situ Xunxiao gave him the feeling that he was taking advantage of the two sisters, he also had a vague feeling that he had no control over himself. If his intuition was true, he was afraid that the relationship between the three of them might not be just taking advantage of each other.

It seems that this trip to Yunguang Country will waste a lot of brain cells...
