"Hmph, so what?" A cold snort came out from Gong Yunyang's nose.

The Queen Mother still carefully considered Gong Yunyang's words despite his disdain. She shook her head at the Emperor, "Emperor, it's not that I want to help others and destroy my prestige, but no one can figure out Situ Xunxiao's character. Before, I thought he would rebel because of the Concubine Jing incident, but I never thought he would tolerate it silently. And now, none of us knows how he will change after the hatred of having his wife stolen again."

"You are overthinking, mother." Gong Yunyang was full of confidence. "Before, I was not the emperor, but he could give in. Now, I am the emperor and he is a minister. Could it be that he really wants to rebel for a woman? Moreover, marching to war must have a legitimate reason, and if it is for a woman, no matter how high-sounding it is, it is still not justified."

"Your Majesty, Yunfei also thinks that the Queen Mother is right." Gong Yunfei said quickly, "Brother Xunxiao has been respectful and tolerant because he respects Your Majesty. However, he is sometimes confused. If he has been accumulating and suppressing emotions before, he may go crazy if he is provoked. If that happens, when the time comes, if Your Majesty and Brother Xunxiao conflict again, what will Sister Yunluo do?"

Gong Yunfei was afraid that the emperor would be furious and would treat Situ Xunxiao badly, so she hurriedly imagined the most terrible possibility. As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Gong Yunluo hurriedly said, "I don't care about this! Mother, Emperor brother, you promised that no matter what, Brother Xunxiao must be safe and sound, and he must be as free as he is now! Yunluo doesn't understand how you are going to take care of your family, country and the world, but I also know that I have my own responsibilities. However, all of this is absolutely not in conflict with taking care of Brother Xunxiao. Don't try to deceive me. If there is anything wrong with Brother Xunxiao, Yunluo will have no meaning to live!"

"presumptuous!"

"Nonsense!"

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager, without prior agreement, reprimanded Gong Yunluo for this, but their expressions showed true fear.

"It's useless for you to be aggressive to me! You know, and have always known, that to Yunluo, Brother Xunxiao is more important than Yunluo himself!" Gong Yunluo looked stubborn.

"Okay, I get it. Now, don't we just have to think of a foolproof plan?" Gong Yunyang was a little helpless, but he still doted on Gong Yunluo and softened his voice.

Seeing the expressions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Gong Yunfei finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the moment, Gong Yunfei was also happy. If the current situation continued, the Emperor and the Queen Mother would definitely try their best to get her into the palace. Then, there would be no possibility for her and Brother Xunxiao. As for the onset of the disease or the Emperor's ideal of annexing the world, what did it have to do with Gong Yunfei?

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother! It is not easy to change Zong Zheng Xiaoting's mind at this moment, but the wedding is approaching, what should we do?" Gong Yunfei hurriedly reminded the two.

The Queen Mother nodded. "This is also a headache for me. Besides, Prime Minister Bai is still here, waiting for the wedding. What should I do?"

"It's okay for Prime Minister Bai. After all, if their princess becomes the empress of my Yunguang Kingdom, it will definitely be beneficial to his Bai Mansion. As long as he marries their princess on the wedding date, isn't it?" Gong Yunyang smiled and said, "Now, Situ Xunxiao is not enough. After all, this relationship is a matter of mutual consent. What I am entangled with is Zong Zheng Xiaoting's heart. How can he be on my side!"

"Your Majesty, do you mean that you hope she can give up Brother Xunxiao?" Gong Yun frowned.

"That's right. Only by doing this, when Zong Zheng Wei Mo dies in the future and she succeeds to the throne, will I have the best control." Gong Yunyang nodded in approval.

The Queen Mother heard this and smiled sinisterly, "Haha, how difficult is it to win a woman's heart?"

"Mother, do you have any solution?" the three asked at the same time.

The Queen Mother looked at the crowd and smiled even more happily. "I have been in the palace for many years, and I have seen so many intrigues and flattery. I have seen so many people of all kinds. Think about it, how can Xun Xiao and Zong Zheng Xiao Ting fall in love with each other when they have only met for a short time?"

Seeing the puzzled faces of the three people, the Queen Mother's smile deepened. "The great ethics of marriage between men and women are all arranged by their parents and matchmakers. Since the two of them know each other, they will be husband and wife in the future. Naturally, there is less resistance in their hearts. Zongzheng Xiaoting is indeed beautiful, and Xunxiao has made great achievements in the war and is well-known. Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. Even this hero has many bad rumors. In this state of mind, there is less resistance and more attempts. Naturally, it will come to fruition, right?"

Gong Yunluo blinked, "My Queen Mother is saying that the relationship between these two is not as deep as we thought?"

"Not bad." The Queen Mother nodded. "Didn't Yun Fei say before that Zong Zheng Xiao Ting should be given to Xun Xiao to find a concubine?"

Gong Yunfei smiled and nodded, "That's right. Originally, Yunfei also thought it was strange, but now that the Queen Mother said so, Yunfei thinks it makes sense."

"What's the reason?" Gong Yunluo asked in confusion.

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly at Gong Yunluo's innocent intentions, "Alas, Yunluo, you child, don't you understand this?"

Seeing the expressions of the Queen Mother and Yun Fei, Gong Yunluo became even more puzzled and blinked innocently, "Understand what?"

"Haha, sister, think about it, if it was you, would you be willing to look for a concubine?" Gong Yunfei reminded: "Although this woman should follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, but sister, you know, if you really love someone, how can you be magnanimous and tolerate it? Who knows how many tears of reluctance are behind those who swallow their anger?"

"Oh!" Gong Yunluo said with sudden realization.

Gong Yunyang looked at the Queen Mother with hope and asked, "I, your son, seem to have a plan in mind when I see you, Queen Mother. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Highness's ability to read people's expressions is really getting more and more accurate." The Queen Mother said to Gong Yunyang with a smile, "During these days, the princess has been staying in the palace, and there must be many restrictions. People like freedom and don't want to be imprisoned in the harem. Since Prime Minister Bai is here, and the princess is very filial, if they go out together, wouldn't the emperor have a lot of time to be alone?"

Gong Yunyang touched his chin and said, "But this Zong Zheng Xiaoting keeps people away from him. Even if we are alone, what can we do?"

"That depends on the emperor. Is he willing to try the self-torture tactic?" Gong Yunfei continued, looking at the emperor and the empress dowager with a gentle smile, but the calculating gleam in his eyes was visible to everyone.
