Looking at the Second Princess' smile, Chen Xianzhi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He had a vague feeling that someone would sadly become the princess's test subject.

Chen the Seer could not help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. "Because the princess never said who this medicine was to be used on, so what I prepared was not only that the person who was to use it would not be harmed, but also that the person who was given the medicine would not have any major changes in his body. More importantly, I am sure that no one can find out that the medicine was used on them."

"If that's the case, then how is this medicine administered?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked with shining eyes.

"It's actually very simple to use." Chen Xianzhi bowed and said, "You just need to lightly touch the potion, and within half an hour, as long as you get close to the other person and touch their skin, it will work. This way, it will be convenient for the person using the medicine to decide according to different situations."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded and put the medicine away. "I understand. As for the sachets, please ask Doctor Chen to prescribe a few more."

"Yes, I will take my leave first." Doctor Chen bowed and left.

Seeing Imperial Physician Chen leave, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up and walked out of the main hall of Nanyuan.

When Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked out of the Nanyuan Hall, Xiaohong, who was waiting outside, hurried over to greet him. "Princess, are you going back?"

"Yeah." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded gently, walked a few steps and then stopped. "By the way, Xiaohong, where is the prince?"

"To reply to the princess, when I accompanied her here just now, the prince was still in the study. He should still be there now, right? How about I send someone to check?" Xiaohong answered cautiously.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just glanced at Xiaohong, with a smile still on his face. "It's okay, I'll go there."

"yes."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked slowly towards the study, while chatting with Xiaohong about family matters. "I see that you are always very careful in everything you do. Is there anyone in your family?"

"In reply to the princess, I only have an elderly mother left at home, and I am the only one she can rely on. I have to be careful and alert and do good things for my master." Xiaohong said honestly.

Hearing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head. "While what you said is true, it is not the real reason."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting knew very well that the sadness that flashed across Xiaohong's eyes when she talked about her cautiousness could not deceive anyone.

Xiaohong, whose thoughts were exposed, knelt down immediately. "Please forgive me, Princess. I admit my guilt."

Xiaohong, who had worked in the palace for many years, saw the look of understanding on her master's face. She knew she could not hide it and quickly apologized.

Seeing Xiaohong's trembling appearance, Zongzheng Xiaoting let out a long sigh. "Stand up and talk."

"Yes!" Xiaohong looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting nervously, and then she told him everything. As she told him the story, Zongzheng Xiaoting just listened quietly without any change in his expression.

The lack of expression on her face does not mean that she is not shocked in her heart. Xiaohong is more cautious than Qingqing, but more reserved than Ningshuang. In terms of the exquisiteness of her mind, she is no less than Qingqing and Ningshuang. After hearing about what happened after she entered the palace, she realized that only people who have experienced such things can have such a tenacious and cautious character. Anyone who is just a slave can be affected by the intrigues around her and be calculated by her good sisters, who want to use her to climb into the prince's bed. When the matter is exposed, all the blame will be pushed onto her, framed, and she even lost her husband because of her outspokenness. After experiencing all these betrayals and the evilness of people, how can she not be careful and cautious?

Fortunately, she is kind-hearted. After experiencing all these hardships, she knows how to protect herself and how to be a lifelong support for her old mother. Therefore, she learns to be self-reliant, cautious and careful. She is indeed a smart but miserable person.

"After experiencing this, people may become psychologically distorted." Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed, "What about you?"

Xiaohong's face turned pale as Zongzheng Xiaoting asked this question. "Princess, please believe me. Even after what I've experienced, I have no intention of harming anyone. Even though I did have the thought of revenge, it was only a thought that never blossomed!"

Seeing Xiaohong kneeling down again and swearing with one hand, Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head and finally reached out to help her up. "Stand up! I'm asking you this not because I don't trust you, but because I need to know whether you are worthy of my trust and whether I can use you."

"In reply to the princess, the prince asked me to serve her. The princess is also the owner of Prince Zhan's Mansion and the person I need to be loyal to. As long as it is the prince and the princess's order, I will do it." Xiaohong's words made Zongzheng Xiaoting laugh out loud.

"It seems that you are indeed a loyal protector of your master. I know that your words are a double entendre. Although you say that you are loyal to me, if my actions are inconsistent with the interests of the Zhan Wang Mansion, your choice will always be the Zhan Wang Mansion and the Zhan Wang you are loyal to?"

Xiaohong lowered her head and said timidly, "Your Majesty has been kind to me, and I dare not be ungrateful."

"What if what I want you to do does not harm the palace, but I don't allow you to leak a word to the prince?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting was not angry, but asked with a smile.

"Since the prince has asked me to serve the princess, I must follow the princess's wishes."

"Very good, I'll remember your words." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, and then he walked towards the study again.

Soon, Zong Zheng Xiaoting arrived at the study room where Situ Xunxiao was. After knocking on the door gently, Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked in without waiting for Situ Xunxiao's answer.

Qin Xiao, who was guarding the door, just bowed his head and greeted him without any further obstruction. Seeing the chief guard's actions, Xiaohong also understood and waited at the door of the study, and closed the door of the study gently.

Feeling that someone had intruded without permission, Situ Xunxiao raised his eyes unhappily, only to see Zongzheng Xiaoting had walked up to him in a dignified manner and sat down in a seat beside him.

"You have done this so openly without notifying the public recently. Zong Zheng Xiaoting, where is the etiquette of a princess of your country? If I were dealing with confidential matters, it would not be appropriate to do this." Situ Xunxiao's tone sounded like a rebuke, but also revealed a hint of indulgence.

"If that's the case, even a princess of a country would have been stopped by your guards." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and raised his eyebrows at Situ Xunxiao, "There is something I would like to ask you to try."

Seeing Zong Zheng Xiaoting's smirk, Situ Xunxiao frowned slightly. Before he could answer, he saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting leaning towards him intimately.
