Seeing Qin Xiao's expression, Nangong Muxifeng took the bait, "What's going on?"

"In reply to Your Highness, Princess Yunluo came here on the orders of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are on their way. According to what Princess Yunluo said just now, I'm afraid that this time the target is Princess Xiaoting! I just don't know what other actions the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will take." Qin Xiao stood aside and reported respectfully.

Nangong Muxi nodded and smiled at Zongzheng Xiaoting, who looked the same as before. "No matter what you do, I'm afraid you will end up losing more than you gain. This is just a small matter, and I don't need to worry about it. However, it's better for me to stay away from you. I'll leave right away."

"Yes, but it's troublesome for the prince to make this special trip."

Nangong Muxi naturally knew that Qin Xiao's words were a little embarrassed. He glanced at him, his thin lips moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. "It's okay. Besides, the king's gains are not small."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away and disappeared into the banquet hall. Zong Zheng Xiaoting only saw her slender figure, who disappeared into the vast night with a slight light skill.

Watching Nangong Muxi leave, Qin Xiao bowed his head respectfully to Zongzheng Xiaoting, "Princess, I heard from the prince that the people coming to the palace this time may need the princess to deal with them, so please make preparations in advance. Moreover, Princess Yunluo may stay in the palace for a while..."

Seeing Qin Xiao's somewhat embarrassed look, Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why, are you planning to marry a concubine for your prince?"

"Princess, you misunderstood." Qin Xiao shook his head hastily, "I just heard Princess Yunluo say that it was the Queen Mother's intention, and asked Princess Yunluo to assist the princess, so I'm afraid that the person who came here has bad intentions."

"If that's the case, why do you have to be so cautious? Since your prince has no other instructions, then it's up to me. Don't worry, whether the person who comes has good intentions or not, it's just a piece of cake for me. So please rest assured, prince! Also, I appreciate people who are loyal to their masters, even if they are not protecting me. It was you who invited the regent, right? As your confidant, you must know a lot of things. Since I and your master now share the same hatred, you don't need to be in fear of me." With a confident smile, Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qin Xiao with a gaze that had a kind of reassuring magic.

At the banquet, Qin Xiao, Ye Ying and Situ Xunxiao were talking, and seeing Nangong Muchi's guilty look, Zongzheng Xiaoting had already guessed something. From their initial vigilance against her to their relaxation and fear after Nangong Muchi appeared, although she was not completely sure, she could guess and roughly. So, after what she said, she knew from Qin Xiao's expression that it was indeed the case!

In response to the princess's insight, Qin Xiao responded with a low "yes" and lowered his head.

Soon, news came that Situ Xunxiao came to ask her to come over. Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up with a faint smile and walked slowly towards the front hall.

At this moment, in the front hall of the Zhan Palace

Situ Xunxiao sat on the main seat, his eyes were like torches, but he had an oppressive aura, so cold that it made people's scalps numb. Gong Yunluo sat on the right side and said, "Brother Xunxiao, Yunluo has no way to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes. But don't worry, no matter what tricks the Queen Mother wants to play, Yunluo will never allow anything to hurt you to happen."

"I'm afraid that this time, the purpose does not seem to be bad for me." Situ Xunxiao's eyes sank slightly, and he looked at Gong Yunluo in a cold voice.

"What does Brother Xunxiao mean?" Gong Yunluo frowned slightly.

"You only know that the Queen Mother wants you to stay in the palace for a few days, and there will be an imperial decree later. But you don't know whether the imperial decree will make other arrangements after you are called here. What's more, if this king and Zong Zheng Xiaoting get married, it will be even more difficult to shake me in the future if someone wants to touch me, because he has to take into account the Luozhe Kingdom! In other words, if you want to touch me a little bit before, you need to take into account five points, but after the marriage, you have to take into account at least eight points. Everyone knows what is important and what is not, and now, the only one who can get close to this king and then achieve his goal is you." Situ Xunxiao's words seemed to be analyzing everything, but in fact, he was intentionally or unintentionally letting Gong Yunluo understand the depth of his trust in her between him and her, and even outsiders could see it clearly.

Sure enough, these seemingly insignificant words made Gong Yunluo's face look happy.

When Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked into the front hall slowly with lotus steps, she happened to hear Situ Xunxiao's last words. When she stepped into the front hall, she also happened to see the expression on Gong Yunluo's face.

Meeting Situ Xunxiao's cold eyes, that indifference, without a trace of warmth or emotional ups and downs, Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but sigh for Gong Yunluo in his heart. Women in love are really fools, let alone a brainless woman like Gong Yunluo.

only……

Is Situ Xunxiao really cold-blooded and heartless to use a person who loves him so deeply? Zong Zheng Xiaoting felt a little sympathy for Gong Yunluo at this moment, and at the same time, she felt a little disgusted with Situ Xunxiao. However, she didn't know whether the disgust in her heart was because of his exploitation and ruthlessness towards Gong Yunluo or because she remembered that he jumped off the cliff without caring about anything for her, all because he had other purposes!

The ugly look on her face gradually made the faint smile on her face seem a little stiff.

But before they had time to say hello or greet each other, they heard the announcement that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were coming to visit.

The eunuch's shrill voice rang out slowly, "The Emperor is here! The Empress Dowager is here!"

As the eunuch's usual voice sounded, the emperor and the empress dowager soon appeared outside the door of the front hall. Situ Xunxiao and others then went out to greet them and took the emperor, the empress dowager and the empress dowager to the main seat in the front hall.

"Well, that's good. The princess is here too. This saves me a lot of time and effort." The Queen Mother sat on the main throne and nodded at Zong Zheng Xiao Ting. The Emperor, however, just stared at Zong Zheng Xiao Ting for a long time without saying a word.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting still looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on his face. His beautiful eyes were filled with a gentle light, and he looked dignified, generous, gentle, and virtuous. "Hearing what the Queen Mother said, I guess her visit tonight is related to me?"

The simple word "visit" was already announcing Wuhenji's status and hospitality as the mistress of the Zhan Palace. Although it seemed nonchalant, it indirectly announced to everyone that she was now integrated into the palace.

"The princess is indeed a kind-hearted person. Indeed, I am here tonight for the marriage between the princess and Prince Zhan. This astrological problem really worries me, so today, the emperor and I found someone from the Qintianjian early in the morning to try to find a solution. I heard that if there is a main seat in the palace that is recommended by Prince Zhan's mansion and is a powerless and poor girl who also has a reputation as a painter, this astrological problem can be solved, so I specially handed this task to the princess. Of course, the princess does not need to worry about being unfamiliar with the place and being restricted by many things. I have already asked Yunluo to stay in the palace temporarily, so that he can help you, the princess, to screen carefully." The queen mother's tone was light, but the attitude that could not be refused showed that these words were the queen mother's decree.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Gong Yunluo who looked smug, then looked at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor who were trying to restrain their smug expressions as before, and he came up with a plan.
