Chapter 159: Conspiracy Begins



When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the window, Zong Zheng Xiaoting had already woken up slowly. She stretched her body and when she opened her eyes again, her sleepiness was gone. Before Qingqing came in to wash and dress her, she had already started to do it herself. She had a good night's sleep. She knew that today, as long as she stepped out of Yunxiao Courtyard, she would face all kinds of calculations and ill intentions. She shrugged helplessly, and a calculating smile appeared on Zong Zheng Xiaoting's lips, "A new day is about to begin, and it's time for the sponsor to come."

With a cunning pair of eyes full of smiles, Qingqing just opened the door and saw her master, who had just finished washing and dressing up, and was calculating something with a sly smile on his face.

"Princess, you're here so early in the morning. It looks like someone is going to be in big trouble." Qingqing called out softly, trying not to laugh. At this moment, Ningshuang also walked in slowly.

"Princess, Princess Yunluo and Princess Yunfei are already waiting outside the courtyard." Ningshuang bowed.

Outside the courtyard? Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, and then he remembered the specialness of Yunxiao Courtyard in the eyes of outsiders. It seemed that even though Yunxiao Courtyard had her living there now, the two sisters would not dare to cross the line easily. This Situ Xuanxiao's intimidation was indeed extraordinary, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting secretly sighed.

"I forgot the special features of Yunxiao Court." Zongzheng Xiaoting nodded and asked with a smile, "Ningshuang, did you see the expressions of the sisters waiting outside the door?"

Ning Shuang nodded and smiled when she heard this, "Princess, you don't know, the way Princess Yunluo stared at Yunxiao Courtyard was simply a look of dissatisfaction, and she was trying her best to restrain herself from showing that she didn't care."

Ning Shuang's words, within Zong Zheng Xiaoting's imagination, she just smiled faintly and nodded slightly, "I guess only Princess Yun Fei is still gentle, demure, and generous, right?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Ning Shuang nod her head, but she frowned slightly, "But Princess, Ning Shuang has a hunch that Princess Yunluo is easy to figure out, but Princess Yunfei is hard to figure out and yet extremely dangerous."

"It seems that not only my intuition is very accurate, but Ningshuang's intuition is the same as mine." Zongzheng Xiaoting nodded in appreciation. This intuition is a person's first reaction. Ningshuang has this intuition, which also means that she is keen on her own safety.

Listening to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words, Ning Shuang lowered her head and said, "I thought I was just being overly suspicious."

"That's fine." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded. "Go and take them to the main hall. I don't plan to meet them in Yunxiao Courtyard."

Ningshuang nodded in understanding and retreated, while Zongzheng Xiaoting slowly stood up and, accompanied by Qingqing, appeared in the main hall after a long delay.

As soon as she stepped in, Gong Yunluo's face was a little ugly, but she forced a smile to greet Zong Zheng Xiaoting. However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not give the other party a chance to speak. He nodded to Gong Yunluo and Gong Yunfei first, "I didn't expect the two princesses to come so early. I was in a hurry to wash up. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and spoke politely, which made people feel reluctant to criticize her. Helplessly, Gong Yunluo could only suppress her anger and sit aside. Anyone who waited outside Yunxiao Courtyard early in the morning should have sat in the side hall of Yunxiao Courtyard for a while, but she refused them outside Yunxiao Courtyard and even sent them back to the front hall without mercy. This was clearly excluding the two sisters as outsiders!

"Sister Yunluo, I'm telling you, Princess Xiaoting must have had a lot of ideas about choosing a concubine, and she must not have slept well last night. Aren't we too abrupt?" Gong Yunfei smiled and pulled Gong Yunluo's sleeve, saying softly.

However, these words sounded abrupt to Zong Zheng Xiao Ting, but he couldn't tell where they were abrupt. After seeing the hateful expression on Gong Yunluo's face, Zong Zheng Xiao Ting understood something in his heart.

At this moment, Gong Yunluo, who was standing aside, understood from Gong Yunfei's words that what Gong Yunfei said was right. Thinking about what Gong Yunfei said today, Gong Yunluo's hostility towards Zong Zheng Xiaoting became deeper and deeper. Yes, Yunfei has always been rational. Zong Zheng Xiaoting came from Luozha Country. The pampering she received would make the emperor jealous. However, if she could really treat brother Xunxiao as well as she did, she could really give in. However, didn't Liu Jing, who was so beautiful, also swear to it? And what happened in the end?

Gong Yunfei's words echoed in his mind again: Luozha Kingdom and Yunguang Kingdom have always been evenly matched, but now one of them has sent its most beloved princess over, knowing clearly that none of the women around Brother Xunxiao have a good ending. Why do you think this is happening?

Yes, Yun Fei's words are easy to understand. If this is the case, I'm afraid that Zong Zheng Xiao Ting is a spy. Yes, if not, why can he win Brother Xun Xiao's heart in such a short time? Not to mention Liu Jing, this woman who hurt him, he never wanted her to be wronged, but he would not care about her for Zong Zheng Xiao Ting. How much tricks does this take?

The more Gong Yunluo thought about what Gong Yunfei said, the more he became more determined. No matter what, he had to fight quickly and get rid of Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled faintly, but he was not in a hurry to speak. He asked Ning Shuang to prepare tea and snacks, and sat in the main seat slowly, savoring them carefully. Nowadays, those who are anxious to plot against him must be much more anxious than him. He does not need to speak at all, and someone will naturally reveal his true colors.

Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting leisurely sipping tea, Gong Yunluo finally spoke first after Gong Yunfei nodded. "Princess, you also know that the Queen Mother is concerned about your engagement with Brother Xunxiao, and wants Yunluo to help find a candidate. Given the unfavorable astrological signs for Pijie, I wonder if the princess has any ideas?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was taking a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, looked at Gong Yunluo on the left side with a smile, and slowly said, "I am not very familiar with Yunguang Kingdom. I wonder if the princess has any better suggestions?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting threw the question back to Gong Yunluo, but as expected, she saw the joy on Gong Yunluo's face. She couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that he was indeed destined to be used.

"Since the princess asked this, I will tell you what I think." Gong Yunluo said seriously, "A woman from a poor family certainly doesn't have that much money to bribe. If you say you want to choose a virtuous concubine for your brother in the name of selecting Brother Xunxiao, there must be many people involved. By then, those who spend money to bribe will know everything, right?"

Gong Yunluo fluently said the words he had prepared long ago and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting confidently.
