Helpless? Situ Xunxiao frowned. Since he had known her for some time, he had never seen her with such a helpless expression and tone. For a moment, his heart suddenly ached.

What a ghost! Situ Xunxiao secretly cursed himself. How could he have the feeling that the only life she deserved was one where she schemed against others and had everything under control? Looking at her helplessness now, he actually had the urge to allow her to do whatever she wanted.

Completely unaware of Situ Xunxiao's inner struggles and contradictions at the moment, Zongzheng Xiaoting rubbed his brows and asked with a slightly tired look: "Don't you think you are really tired of beating around the bush? There is no one around now, so you might as well speak directly."

To Situ Xunxiao, these words sounded very impatient with him. However, to Zongzheng Xiaoting, it was because she had not rested well for several days and had been thinking too much. She also knew that Situ Xunxiao had doubts about her, so there was no need for her to put on a show.

"Princess Xiaoting is very different in her behavior in public and behind her back." Situ Xunxiao couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"Let's not talk in secret. Why should we hide our thoughts in front of the prince?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly opened her eyes and looked at Situ Xunxiao lazily. She rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart. What's wrong with this Situ Xunxiao's weird temper? If you pretend, you will say it's a plot. Now, I'm too lazy to pretend, and I look suspicious again! It's really tiring to fight with such a person.

Of course, Zongzheng Xiaoting's mind was in turmoil, and Situ Xunxiao's heart was not calm either.

She was clearly the one who had plotted against him from the very beginning, but she was so arrogant and unaware of her fault after the truth was revealed. More importantly, since her father had issued an order, shouldn't she try to please him even more?

What is his conspiracy behind this, as he is confronting me head-on and refusing to back down?

The more confused he was, the more agitated Situ Xunxiao became, and he exaggerated his doubts.

"Have you ever heard a story, Your Majesty?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting understood very well that if he could not dispel his doubts and speculations at this moment, he would probably have to spend a long time in this car with him.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting took a step back helplessly and said, "Once upon a time, there was a man whose family was wealthy, but he had a poor relative living next door. One day, his house was robbed, and because of a little clue, he suspected that it was the poor relative who stole the things. So every day and every moment, he looked at the poor relative and thought that his behavior was sneaky and suspicious. Later, the lost things appeared again, and it was confirmed that he had accidentally dropped the things in the corner. After all the truth was revealed, he thought carefully and didn't think those behaviors were sneaky. Prince, do you think that this story is very similar to ours?"

Zongzheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao leisurely with a smile, staring at him without blinking.

I saw him raise his handsome eyebrows, purse his lips and remain silent, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

After a long silence, Situ Xunxiao spoke coldly: "The princess is so eloquent. According to the princess's understanding, is it not that I have misunderstood the princess?"

"Your Highness, this is wrong." Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook her head. "What I want to say is that Your Highness sees me this way, and I also see Your Highness in the same way. That's all."

While Zong Zheng Xiaoting was trying to excuse himself, he did not forget to act like a rogue and deliberately questioned Situ Xunxiao.

Why did she doubt herself so firmly every time? Could it be that the marriage was a mistake, which led her to be with Gongsun Zixing by accident?

Seeing the nonchalant look of the person in front of him, Situ Xunxiao was also a little shaken.

But whenever I think of that letter, I can't help but feel conflicted.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who had known all this for a long time, naturally understood the contradiction that his nonsense had brought to him.

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Moreover, this escape from marriage has far-reaching consequences. You can only let Situ Xunxiao suffer. Zongzheng Xiaoting said to Situ Xunxiao with some guilt in his heart.

If you weren't so smart and difficult to deal with, I would definitely treat you well. Zong Zheng Xiaoting secretly said to himself while secretly looking at Situ Xunxiao, and he shook his head embarrassedly.

Such an embarrassed look, in Situ Xunxiao's eyes, had a completely different charm.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting took off her mask, and because she was exhausted physically and mentally at the moment, she didn't want to hide it any more. She relaxed her guard, looked at Situ Xunxiao staring at her, and winked at him mischievously.

The affection that was originally suppressed due to misunderstanding was once again stirred up because of this rare moment of peace.

At this moment, the carriage also stopped to rest for a while. Seeing that the time was right, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up and was about to leave the carriage, but she smiled slyly, "There is nothing else to do, so Xiaoting will take his leave first."

Before he finished speaking, he had already stood up and was about to leave towards the driver's door.

The figure eager to escape made Situ Xunxiao narrow his eyes unhappily. He stretched out his long arm and grabbed Zongzheng Xiaoting's wrist, then pulled him back into his arms with a light pull.

only……

Because Zong Zheng Xiaoting was eager to escape and ran too fast, he opened his mouth and whispered, and then turned his head and their lips touched.

The cold feeling coming from his lips made Zongzheng Xiaoting's eyes widen, and he silently wailed in his heart, "Oh my God, do you have to play such a trick on me? Last time it was fine, but what's going on this time?"

Because of the surprise in his heart, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's instinctive reaction was to push her away, but this instinctive action was misinterpreted by someone.

Are you reluctant to accept?

Because Zong Zheng Xiaoting always showed calmness and rationality, Situ Xunxiao became suspicious.

How could it be such a coincidence every time! Thinking of the plan in the emperor's letter about asking Zong Zheng Xiaoting to win his heart, Situ Xunxiao lost his composure due to sudden anger. Just when Zong Zheng Xiaoting pushed him away, his other hand suddenly reached out, wrapped around Zong Zheng Xiaoting's waist, and pulled her back into his arms again.

"You..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting was obviously frightened by this sudden accident. Before he could finish his words, he saw Situ Xunxiao's face getting closer and closer to him.

The breath of Situ Xunxiao wafted into his nose. Zongzheng Xiaoting frowned, and heard a voice with gnashing teeth whispering, "Since the princess intends to tease me, I don't mind fulfilling her wish. Why be so shy?"

What do you mean? Could it be that...

Situ Xunxiao did not give Zongzheng Xiaoting time to think, and he kissed Zongzheng Xiaoting's lips forcefully with anger, without any gentleness at all.
