Seeing the person getting closer, Situ Xunxiao subconsciously took a few steps back.

only……

Zong Zheng Xiaoting approached with a wicked smile, and his fingertips touched Situ Xunxiao's broad palm without hesitation.

"Zongzheng Xiaoting?" Situ Xunxiao frowned, but she smiled softly in his ear, "I need you to feel it carefully before telling me what happened?"

Situ Xunxiao's brows were furrowed but they gradually weakened in the next second.

Seeing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting quickly helped him sit down on a seat nearby.

Time passed bit by bit, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the faint smile on Situ Xunxiao's lips while he was sleeping, and he couldn't help but become more and more curious. Was what the prophet Chen said really that magical?

It was half an hour later when Situ Xunxiao slowly woke up. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting. His face slightly blushed, but then he thought of something. His shy blush was replaced by anger. "What on earth did you do?"

Zongzheng Xiaoting blinked innocently, but the smile on her lips could not be concealed. She touched her chin playfully. If she saw it right, the blush on the man's face just now was the red cloud of shyness. Could it be that this dignified war god king has never been close to a woman?

Being looked at by Zongzheng Xiaoting with a mocking smile, Situ Xunxiao became more and more uncomfortable, and he repeated the questions with a hint of anger out of shame.

"Situ Xunxiao, is it necessary to be so angry?" Zongzheng Xiaoting disagreed.

"Not necessary?" Situ Xunxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously. "When you gave me this medicine, did you ever think about it, or did you ever ask me what my reaction would be after I took it?"

"I know! But if I hadn't used someone as strong as the prince as an experiment, how would I know whether it would be useful or not against your emperor? Moreover, it's not for the sake of safety. Would I make such a big sacrifice to protect your spies?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting argued.

"Really?" Situ Xunxiao's face was always as cold as ice. "Then Princess, you also want to know what I did in my sleep, right? If it weren't for your reminder just now, and if it weren't for the princess saying that she had a good plan, I really would have been completely unaware."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao, who changed his expression and looked crazy, and felt that danger was approaching her. She wanted to run away, but in the next second, her wrist was grabbed by a strong force, and then she was pressed onto the table. Situ Xunxiao's anger, with a sense of punishment, continued to plunder the city, until Zong Zheng Xiaoting bit her unceremoniously, and she came to her senses.

After being released, Zong Zheng Xiaoting glared at Situ Xunxiao angrily, while of course not forgetting to tidy up his clothes.

"You asked me what I dreamed about?" Situ Xunxiao's tone was still a little unhappy. "I just did it last night. I'm sure you should have guessed it with your intelligence."

"Situ Xunxiao!" This time the person gritting his teeth turned into Zongzheng Xiaoting.

"Hmm?" Situ Xunxiao snorted coldly.

"If it weren't for the fact that you don't have any concubines, and there isn't any woman who can get close to you, would a princess need to make such a great sacrifice?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting pursed his lips.

"Really?" Hearing her mention this, Situ Xunxiao remembered the incident that Gong Yunluo had mentioned to him, "It seems that this is the reason why the princess is so generous to choose a concubine for me!"

"Uh..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at someone's increasingly uglier face, so he began to hesitate and stammer.

However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's behavior made Situ Xunxiao feel even more gloomy. This damn woman, does she really want to take a concubine for herself?

"I think Princess has forgotten one thing. The relationship between me and you is just a deal. Even if we really get married, it will only be superficial. Since you are so sincere and want to find a concubine for me, you have said it and the news has spread, so it is inevitable. In this case, I can't back down. But you don't have to worry about choosing a concubine. I can choose one myself." Situ Xunxiao's face turned pale and he left in a huff.

The door of the study was suddenly opened. Qin Xiao looked at his master's uncertain face and guessed that the princess must have angered the prince, because he knew his master too well. The prince's face had an icy expression that never changed for thousands of years, and he would only smile chillingly when he was extremely angry.

But all this was only in the past. Ever since the princess appeared, whenever the master had an unusual expression on his face, it must have something to do with the princess. Suppressing his curiosity, Qin Xiao asked respectfully, "Prince?"

"Go to Nanyuan! Since the princess is willing to choose a concubine for me, wouldn't it be a shame if I don't go?" Situ Xunxiao deliberately raised his voice a little, and by chance, Zong Zheng Xiaoting in the study heard it.

Xiaohong, who was outside the study, also lowered her head and saw Situ Xunxiao off. Qin Xiao, who was following closely behind Situ Xunxiao, could still not hide the smile on his face. The prince's behavior just now was clearly that of a child in a sulky tone.

However, Situ Xunxiao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said, "When did the most mature and stable person reveal his emotions so easily? It seems that I should reconsider whether to change the chief guard."

"I dare not." Qin Xiao lowered his head, "But Your Majesty, do you really want to go to Nanyuan?"

"You talk too much." Situ Xunxiao walked towards the South Garden. Situ Xunxiao's eyebrows were tightly locked. He felt vaguely that Zongzheng Xiaoting was not without feelings for him, or that she would only face it if she was forced to do so. Especially since she was so dedicated to placing secret guards for him, and even though she struggled with his demands, she did not hate him, which even made him feel that he was wrong. So, how could he know if he didn't try?

Thinking of this, Situ Xunxiao's pace became faster.

Outside the study, Xiaohong also came forward after seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting coming out.

"Princess..." Xiaohong called softly, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zongzheng Xiaoting had a smile on his face the whole time. Seeing Xiaohong's expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong?"

"This..." Xiaohong hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage, "Xiaohong doesn't know whether she should say this or not, but does the princess really want to take a concubine for the prince? The princess and the prince haven't gotten married yet. Taking a concubine at this time may be disadvantageous to the princess!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, smiling even more, "Let's go, accompany me to Nanyuan for a look."

Xiaohong was overjoyed and hurriedly followed, but she didn't know that Zongzheng Xiaoting just went to watch Situ Xunxiao's show.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting understood Situ Xunxiao's anger and his arrogance. The more he thought about the changes in that icy face, the more cheerful his pace became.
