Concubine Jing, who was suddenly interrupted, looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting who was speaking with a little surprise, smiled and nodded at Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "Princess Xiaoting is indeed smart."
The only response she got was a sneer. Zong Zheng Xiaoting approached step by step, and only stopped after Concubine Jing took a few steps back. He looked at Concubine Jing and laughed to himself, "Haha, if Concubine Jing was not the emperor's favorite concubine, and if the person I was going to marry was Prince Zhan, I'm afraid I would have misunderstood."
"What's the misunderstanding?" Gong Yunluo looked at Concubine Jing's confused look and asked in a good mood, following Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words.
"Princess Yunluo doesn't know this! I once heard from my mother that there was a concubine who didn't want to see other concubines being favored, so she secretly contacted the people of Qin Tianjian. She used a method that could not be seen by others to deal with the new favorite my father liked, which was to use the astrology to make a fuss. Since ancient times, kings have believed in the anomalies of the stars. Unfortunately, that concubine actually lost the favor of my father because of such a scheme. Princess, think about it, there are three thousand beauties in this deep palace, and a new favorite will naturally be forgotten as long as she doesn't see the king for a while. And this... As for the astrological signs, as long as no one tells my father about it and the astrological signs are over, who will remember the concubine who was trapped by the astrological signs? Moreover, since she has been framed by jealous people, who will tolerate her not living long? "Zongzheng Xiaoting looked at Gong Yunluo and tilted his head slightly, "Princess, you can also put yourself in her shoes. If the princess marries and is trapped by the astrological signs, I am afraid that not only the princess will be humiliated and neglected, but also the object of your marriage will be implicated. I don't even comment on whether this astrological sign is true or false."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting kept guiding Gong Yunluo, causing her to imagine herself as her for a moment. As she spoke and led her, she naturally thought of the unfavorable side of her brother Xunxiao.
In the realm of jealousy and protecting the one she loves, Gong Yunluo's love is very simple. She cannot tolerate anything that is not beneficial to Situ Xunxiao. At this moment, under the intentional or unintentional instigation of Zong Zheng Xiaoting, she naturally cried out that it was wrong.
"There is something fishy about this matter, my brother the Emperor!" Gong Yunluo stood up and saluted the Emperor. "Since ancient times, there have been many disputes and intrigues in the harem. The astrological signs that Qin Tianjian said may not be credible. Moreover, if it is true as he said, how could the Empress Dowager recover at this moment?"
"Yunluo!" Gong Yunyang scolded Gong Yunluo with an unhappy look on his face.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the situation of the brother and sister and did not intend to let it go. She only heard her laugh softly, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. What I said was just a guess. As the saying goes, you must be on guard against others. Before my father left, he repeatedly told me to be careful of being framed. I had to keep this matter in mind to avoid hurting my father's heart. What's more, during this marriage, there have been assassinations of this princess one after another. These rumors are all hinting at rumors that your Majesty can't tolerate this princess. I have a little more doubts. Please don't be surprised, Your Majesty."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Gong Yunyang with a sharp gaze. Although his face was covered with a veil, he exuded a majestic aura that was no less than that of everyone else present, which shocked Gong Yunyang a little.
The turmoil along the way had already been a hot topic in Kyoto. Although everything was covered up strictly, there was still unstoppable leakage of news. However, during this confrontation, no one would have thought that this legendary weak princess would have such dominance and arrogance.
Between the lines, there were all kinds of intimidation towards me in various ways, and it was also natural for her to accuse me of other things. What a Princess Xiaoting!
"I have also heard about the princess's affairs, but the matter of the queen mother is indeed what I am concerned about. Since Qin Tianjian has already said that the celestial phenomena are unfavorable, I am afraid that it will conflict with the queen mother and lead to her death. I have to be uncomfortable with it. The princess is a child, so she naturally understands the reason, right? Moreover, it is just a postponement of the marriage, not a delay. The princess also knows that this is a normal change, so why bother? "Please be patient and give me peace of mind." What Gong Yunyang said was reasonable. If she still refused to give in, it would be spread that she was eager to get married. She was quick to make plans. It was a pity that she, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, didn't want to get married in the first place. She just took this opportunity to kill the prestige of others and warn those who didn't know how to behave that she, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, was not easy to bully.
but……
Zong Zheng Xiaoting narrowed her eyes, fearing that after this incident, she would have to be much more careful and cautious in Yunguang Country. After all, as the future Princess of War, it seemed that many people wanted to put her to death.
"Xiao Ting agrees with what the emperor said. In fact, the marriage is not the most important thing. This palace and the prince have already made a vow to each other. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. However, the prince has been worried about the assassins several times. He even neglected a lot of government affairs in order to pursue this palace. Xiao Ting is really uneasy. When he came to Kyoto this time, the prince asked Xiao Ting to promise not to leave his sight unless it is absolutely necessary. So, now that the marriage has been postponed, I wonder what plans the prince has?"
Originally, one would think that after these words, Zong Zheng Xiaoting would definitely ask for instructions from Emperor Gong Yunyang. Unexpectedly, Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao with a smile in his eyes, and the two of them seemed to be in love with each other.
Silently, Situ Xunxiao watched Zongzheng Xiaoting sweeping away the crowd, with an undisguised smile on his face. At this moment, after hearing what Zongzheng Xiaoting said, he also followed suit, "I have said before that I will not feel at ease with anyone's protection. The safety of Yunguang Country depends on the palace and my Zhan Palace. I am not in a hurry to get married, but if I don't know the seriousness of the matter and place you somewhere else, I am afraid that this accident will be beyond my control."
After a pause, Situ Xunxiao turned to Emperor Gong Yunyang, "Your Majesty must know how many unwarranted rumors I have been carrying, and now, I have finally met someone I can go through this with. No matter what, I will not give in. Since this matter concerns the Queen Mother's safety, I don't mind taking a step back. I believe Your Majesty also knows how to make the decision!"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting listened at the side and secretly admired that Situ Xunxiao was simply domineering and impeccable. It seemed that the emperor would always need to give in to him.
Sure enough, before he received the emperor's next order, Situ Xunxiao nodded slightly, "The princess is weak, I will take her back home first."
The next second, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was picked up without any explanation.
