When Zong Zheng Xiaoting arrived at the main hall of Nanyuan, all the beauties had already been arranged to rest in the side courtyard.
Qingqing and Ningshuang came forward, bowed slightly to their master, and walked in.
"Princess, what's the matter with these two people arranged by General Wei?" Qingqing was impatient and asked hurriedly.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting just smiled and said nothing. He glanced at the two of them and then spoke softly. "You have a hot temper and are impatient. Sometimes you make mistakes."
"Qingqing only acts like this because she knows there's no one around!" Qingqing stuck out her tongue.
"You two are really smart. So guess what I am thinking?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting seemed to be somewhat doting towards Qingqing.
Ningshuang lowered her eyes and whispered, "Princess, I guess these two are the ones you want to place in the palace!"
"Oh? Then according to Ningshuang's opinion, why not place him in Prince Zhan's mansion?" Zongzheng Xiaoting raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Ningshuang beside him.
Ning Shuang laughed softly, "If that's the case, Princess doesn't need to go to so much trouble! Besides, it's hard to say whether the prince is willing or not."
"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense." Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled and shook his head. "I'll tell you straight out! Among these talented women, there are no Gong Yunluo or Gong Yunfei. If it's Gong Yunluo, it's not a big problem. The important thing is that Gong Yunfei has a vicious mind. If the prince hadn't shown up in time today, you and me, the master and servant, would have been contaminated by the poison powder secretly carried on the bodies of those two women. So, what I want you to do next is not just what I said before."
Hearing what their master said, Ningshuang and Qingqing couldn't help but frown and look serious.
"Originally, I just wanted to use this concubine selection to annoy the two sisters, and at the same time, stop the Queen Mother from setting a trap for me. But now, it is definitely not a good thing to keep being beaten passively." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the expressions of Qingqing and Ningshuang who listened to his words seriously, and then continued, "I learned from the prince that the matter of the painting concubine is indeed related to astrology. In other words, they just want to find my faults in the process of selecting concubines, and they will definitely accept all the candidates for the painting concubines proposed by me."
"So can we say that if they want to make a move, they can't touch the person chosen by you, princess. So they will definitely not question the person chosen by you. Then, if we want to find the princess's fault in this selection, it must be because of her greed?" Ningshuang pursed her lips tightly and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with some worry.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting just nodded and looked at her with admiration.
"If that's the case, this matter is a big deal and a small deal at the same time." Qingqing thought.
They had all been in the palace before, so they all knew that the crime of accepting bribes could be serious or minor. If they really wanted to start from this, they must have heard such rumors from other people. Then it can be inferred that countless people would come out and accuse the princess of accepting hard-earned money. If so, firstly, it would damage the princess's image, and secondly, I'm afraid there would be more excuses to accuse her. After all, no matter what, at this moment, the princess is in another country, not Luozha.
"So I need a magic medicine to cure my heart disease." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled, "First of all, the candidate for the painting concubine must be someone I choose. Secondly, when those two princesses want to cause trouble, I will strike first."
Qingqing and Ningshuang looked at their master's confident expression and realized that their worries were unnecessary.
Sure enough, as Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words came out, the two hearts that were hanging in the air also relaxed a little. "People always think that the princesses who are married to the foreign countries can be bullied at will. I want to give their emperor a warning."
Qingqing and Ningshuang looked at each other and saw a letter taken out by their master.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled slyly and winked at Qingqing and Ningshuang, "Do you think I am the prince's sweetheart now? If my request for help is made to my father, will he help his son-in-law or the emperor whom he has long disliked?"
"Pfft..." Qingqing couldn't help but laugh. If the emperor of Yunguang Kingdom really heard it, who knows what kind of storm it would cause. However, looking at the princess's expression, it seemed that she had already had enough of them.
When Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked up, Qingqing quickly calmed down and suppressed her laughter.
"Frost."
"The servant is here."
"These beauties living in Nanyuan are not easy to deal with. Qingqing's character is sometimes too impatient. It's better for you to be careful and cautious. It depends on you to keep an eye on them secretly and then identify them all through numerous tests." Zong Zheng Xiaoting instructed.
"Yes, I've made a note of it." Ningshuang nodded respectfully. Zongzheng Xiaoting then turned and ordered, "Qingqing, you must take this letter to General Yuan and tell him to deliver it to my father as soon as possible without letting anyone else do it! If necessary, ask him to meet my mother and my mother, and bring back the news of my father's next move to me."
Although Qingqing was sometimes overly impatient, she also understood that no matter what the matter was, it was all related to the safety of the princess. She put away her smile, nodded seriously, took the letter handed over by her master, and the two of them stood up and retreated.
At this time, news came from outside the main hall of Nanyuan that Imperial Physician Chen wanted to see him.
Zong Zheng Xiao Ting smiled and said, "Please ask Doctor Chen to come in. You can go about your business."
"Yes!" The two nodded and retreated, and Doctor Chen also walked in hurriedly.
"Your humble servant greets the princess." With a slight breath in his throat, Chen Xianzhi's chest kept rising and falling, and it could be seen that he had jogged all the way over.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting waved his hands without being anxious, "Doctor Chen, there is no need to be polite. Take a rest first, and we will talk later."
"Yes... Thank you, Princess." Doctor Chen suppressed his panting and stood quietly to the side to regulate his breathing. He didn't speak until his breathing had completely calmed down. "Princess, I have developed what you mentioned today. I have also made sachets of those self-defense herbs. Although they cannot resist 100%, they can be transferred and absorbed. Although they only treat the symptoms, they are at least the best solution at the moment."
Doctor Chen respectfully presented a sachet and also handed over a box of medicine.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes were filled with joy. "It seems that the panacea I wanted has been found?"
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
"I just don't know if this medicine will have the same effect on people with strong wills?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting had already made up his mind, "I don't know if there will be other bad effects?"
