"Princess..." Qingqing called out in a low voice with worry.

"I need your help to perform a play." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled helplessly at Qingqing.

Looking at the princess's expression, Qingqing felt a little worried in her heart. She always felt that the princess was enjoying the chance of survival. Sure enough, as Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words came out, Qingqing suddenly raised her head with a look of shock.

"I want you to mention the relationship between Gongsun Zixing and me from time to time, and I want you to frequently guide Gong Yunluo and Gong Yunfei in their attempts to bribe me with money."

Gongsun Zixing? Qingqing blinked her eyes. "Princess, are you talking about the richest businessman in the world?"

"That's right, I got to know Brother Zixing by accident. We felt that we had met too late. In fact, I had already met him when I was avoiding Situ Xunxiao's pursuit under your name. I just went with the flow and said that Brother Zixing was my lover. So, this misunderstanding naturally became the truth in Situ Xunxiao's heart." Zong Zheng Xiaoting told Qingqing everything that happened after his escape for the first time. He didn't want to say more at first because he hoped that everyone would firmly believe that someone was chasing him when he escaped from marriage. But now, he had to tell Qingqing in detail because she knew that Qingqing would be indispensable in the subsequent tests and battles of wits and courage.

When she told Qingqing about her concerns and plans, Qingqing looked conflicted. "But Princess, if this happens, I'm afraid the prince's grudge against you will only get deeper and deeper. Do you really have no feelings for the prince at all? If not, at this critical moment, you would never have pushed him away and ran away to avoid getting hurt!"

"You understand this, and Situ Xunxiao also understands it. It is precisely because of this clarity that he trusted me in the secret letter from my father. It is also because of this that he risked his life to face his own feelings. However, his feelings are the most fatal to me. If he were the indifferent Situ Xunxiao, then under the threat of my father, I could at least tell myself that people are selfish, and it is not a big deal to sacrifice a cold-blooded person to protect the one I love. But he saved me again and again, and risked his life to save me. "He and I are just curious about each other. This curiosity and the competitive spirit that we both can't understand each other have gradually become overly concerned about each other's every move. That's why we are gradually attracted to each other. In other words, even if we are already moved at this moment, we still have reason. Since this is the case, why not stop the mistake immediately?"

Is this really the case? Qingqing looked at the princess with a frown on her face.

Perhaps, what the princess said was right. However, no matter what the reason was for the gradual heating up of feelings, they were real. If feelings could be curbed so easily, there wouldn't be so many infatuated men and resentful women.

But……

As soon as Qingqing thought of the emperor's secret letter, the purpose of the princess's escape from marriage, and this brutal assassination, she had the answer.

Yes, people are selfish. I hope the princess is happy and doesn't miss anything. However, compared with the princess's safety, there is no need to consider it at all.

"Princess, Qingqing knows what to do. But will the prince be angry with Master Gongsun because of what you did? Will he be angry with the princess?" Qingqing expressed her concerns frankly.

Angry? Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled, "If I were to say angry, I'm afraid others would, but it just so happens that Situ Xunxiao wouldn't!"

Situ Xunxiao was so proud of his calmness and self-control that he simply disdained to be like other reckless men and get angry impulsively. For him, being upright was actually his nature.

At this moment, Situ Xunxiao also returned to the tent.

As soon as the curtain was opened, one could see Zong Zheng Xiaoting and Qingqing, the master and servant, both with solemn expressions.

"Awake?" Situ Xunxiao asked softly, "How are your wounds?"

"Princess, Qingqing will go and make some medicine for you first." Qingqing quickly saluted Situ Xunxiao and retreated.

The two were left alone inside the tent again, staring at each other in silence.

After a long time, the two voices rang out again at the same time, "Your injury..."

The words that echoed at the same time stopped again at the same time.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao and lowered his head. "I'm fine. Your hand..."

"No problem." Situ Xunxiao's mood became cheerful because of this caring sentence. He walked to Zongzheng Xiaoting's side and helped her sit down with ease. "I have always known the situation of the king. It is just a minor injury."

"Thank you." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to Situ Xunxiao from the bottom of his heart.

The tension between the two never ceased from the beginning to the end. At this moment, facing the gentle and easy-going Zong Zheng Xiaoting, Situ Xunxiao frowned a little unaccustomedly. He was about to say something, but the next words made him so angry that his face turned livid.

"In fact, Your Highness, there is no need for you to spend so much time on Zongzheng Xiaoting, who is not concerned about the marriage, let alone you. I guess today, Your Highness insisted on carrying me out of the valley, not only to give a cover to those who don't know whether Your Highness is seriously injured, but also to show it to my father, right? What my father promised to give to Your Highness is more or less what Your Highness cares about, right?" Zongzheng Xiaoting sighed helplessly, "Sometimes, everyone is helpless. Even I have too many things that are not satisfactory. If Your Highness needs my father's help, how about Xiaoting and Your Highness make a deal?"

Situ Xunxiao's face looked very ugly at the moment. Whether it was about the words that the person's mind was not on him or the words about the deal, his anger was burning.

Could it be that this damn woman has no feelings at all about what she has done?

"What kind of deal?" The voice was gnashing with forbearance.

"What the prince needs is superficial effort, which Xiaoting can do. However, Xiaoting wants to exchange 100% freedom with the prince. What do you think?" Zongzheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao and deliberately ignored those angry eyes.

One hundred percent freedom? What does that mean?

Situ Xunxiao looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting, the doubts in his heart growing. Was he wanting freedom for someone?
