The sudden change made Zong Zheng Xiaoting frown. Are all the women in the deep palace like this? They have so many tricks and frame-ups.

With a mocking smile on his face, Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Concubine Jing who had fallen to the ground and walked over. It was not wrong for her to want to act, but it was a big mistake for her to try to use him. Concubine Jing saw the calculation flashing in his eyes, and she was not wrong. How could these people not know how to plant spies around Concubine Hua? Just like yesterday, Concubine Hua deliberately mentioned in front of these people that she had given the family heirloom jade to herself, in order to distance herself from the relationship and to protect herself. With such grievances and entanglements, I am afraid that these people will think that she, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, must be petty. After all, after sending Concubine Hua into the palace, she never expected that the benefits she received would make her petty and hostile after being favored. As a domineering princess, she would definitely be willing to pull her down, right?

Following Concubine Jing's words, Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Concubine Hua with a displeased expression and said sarcastically, "Madam Jing, what's wrong with you?"

"My stomach hurts so much!" Concubine Jing burst into tears, covering her belly with a look of pain on her face, "Yue'er, go get the imperial physician."

Seeing Concubine Jing's actions, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyebrows moved, and he felt vaguely that there was something wrong with this action. Obviously, Concubine Hua also noticed something wrong, "Princess, what you see may not be true. I did nothing."

There was no emotion on her calm and aloof face. Concubine Hua just spoke quietly. When Concubine Jing kept moaning, she said in a very small voice, "Princess, Mo Lian was ignorant and forgetful before. I know how stupid I was when I was hurt by this today. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but only ask that the item be returned to its original owner."

After that, the jade pendant left by Zong Zheng Xiaoting that day was handed over in a dignified manner. Concubine Jing, who was pretending to be nice, naturally had his attention, but she only saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting curl his lips and smile, and accepted the purple jade pendant with a bright color without any hesitation. Seeing this, Concubine Jing couldn't help but frown.

Soon, the imperial physician came in hurriedly, and with him came the emperor Gong Yunyang who looked worried. Seeing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting guessed roughly that according to so many palace fighting dramas, he was afraid that the next thing would be pregnancy, right?

Sure enough, after the imperial physician made the diagnosis, he looked solemn and asked Concubine Jing many details, even the most trivial matters, and asked them over and over again. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, bowed to the emperor and others and replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is pregnant. It is a great blessing! You must be careful. The little prince in your belly can't stand it again."

"What happened?" Gong Yunyang looked at Concubine Hua with a bad face, "I heard that you pushed Concubine Jing? Huh?"

The emperor's reaction made Concubine Jing's eyes flash with a provocative smile. She was facing the same direction as the emperor and had no worries about being seen by him. The excitement in her eyes seemed to say, "You are still a little young to fight with me."

However, before Concubine Hua could speak, Concubine Jing stood up hastily and said, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I felt uncomfortable looking at Concubine Hua and forgot to perform the formalities."

As soon as Concubine Jing moved, the emperor immediately became gentle, carefully helping Concubine Jing to sit down, his tone as gentle as water, "You just had a miscarriage, why are you still standing up? Sit down quickly, and take my carriage back to rest later. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Jing had a gentle face and looked at the emperor with affection, and then she looked at Concubine Hua.

However, the Concubine Hua remained motionless, expressionless, and kept a cold face. Even when the emperor was showing affection to her, she looked unfathomable. It was not until the emperor stared at her that she lowered her eyes and replied, "Your Majesty, do you think I would embarrass others? In the past few days since I entered the palace, I have always been alone."

The Concubine Hua did not say anything more. She just stood there quietly, waiting for the emperor's next words.

While Concubine Hua was speaking, Concubine Jing did not forget to observe the changes in the emperor's expression. Her original smug look turned a little ugly as the emperor's expression softened. Sure enough, the emperor's next words made her hate Concubine Hua even more.

"That's right. I remember that you liked someone. Even in Tianfeng Palace, every time I went to your palace, it was silent. You thought it was noisy to receive other concubines." The emperor nodded, looking at Concubine Hua's face, which was also warm and affectionate. Turning to Concubine Jing, he just soothed, "Lian'er is still new to the palace, and maybe there are some things that she doesn't know how to speak, so we misunderstood each other. I'll have someone take you back to rest."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Jing looked at the emperor, but she swallowed the words she wanted to refute. She knew that she had to proceed step by step. "I will take my leave."

Concubine Jing bowed, and when she passed by Zong Zheng Xiaoting, she cast a sad look and walked away. Concubine Hua also looked a little unhappy, and made an excuse to the emperor and left the pavilion. Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Concubine Hua's performance and secretly admired her. This Mo Lian knew how to give the emperor a little sweetness in the cold and warmth.

Watching the person leave, Gong Yunyang couldn't help but rub his brows and nodded to Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Princess, do you have time to chat with me?"

"Your Majesty has something to say to Xiaoting. How can you refuse?" Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled slightly, nodded towards the emperor, and sat down opposite him. The imperial physician beside him also respectfully withdrew, and the eunuch serving beside the emperor was also smart. He quickly served tea and cakes and withdrew to the side.

Gong Yunyang, however, was not too hypocritical. He shed his former imperial arrogance and leisurely took the snacks. While tasting them, he spoke, "Do you know why your mother doesn't like you, princess?"

Although Gong Yunyang asked casually, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who had known all this for a long time, naturally understood that some people and some calculations were about to begin. He pretended to be ignorant and frowned, "Isn't it because the Queen Mother rejects outsiders? Because the person Princess Yunluo likes is the War King?"

After these words were spoken, Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw a hint of disdain in Gong Yunyang's eyes.

"Princess, do you think the Queen Mother is so selfish? How can the mother of a country not know the importance of things?" The emperor lowered his head and smiled, looking at Zong Zheng Xiaoting with the same gentle eyes as when he looked at his concubine just now. It was a pity that these gentle expressions had the greatest flaw, which was that Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw that she was just acting from the slightly downturned corners of her lips.

"Isn't it?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting continued to play dumb.

"Princess is wrong. After all, I am the one who should be blamed." Staring at Zongzheng Xiaoting's expression, Gong Yunyang was as upset as she could be. Such good acting skills made Zongzheng Xiaoting secretly admire her.
