Upon hearing the self-torture tactic, the Queen Mother's face immediately turned pale. "Yun Fei! Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. How can you make any possible loss just for this person who may not even win your heart?"

"Yes, it would be unacceptable if anything happened to the emperor brother!" Gong Yunluo frowned. She was also worried about this brother who had loved and cared about her since childhood.

Only Gong Yunyang kept a mild smile, leaning back in his chair, staring at Gong Yunfei. As for Gong Yunfei, he was not like Yunluo, who did not understand that Gong Yunfei was gentle on the surface but strong on the inside. Gong Yunyang knew very well that Gong Yunfei was very thoughtful, but she just kept relying on Yunluo and helping Yunluo to make plans in order to seek support. Therefore, such a person can not only be used, but also controlled. At this moment, regarding Gong Yunfei's words of self-torture, he believed that this princess who was cautious and only wanted to keep her current status would not dare to really have bad ideas about him.

"Mother, please stay calm and listen to Yun Fei's specific thoughts. It's not too late to get angry." Gong Yunyang waved his hand and nodded at Yun Fei, "Yun Fei, please continue to speak, speak boldly!"

"Yes!" With Gong Yunyangfei's encouragement, Gong Yunfei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "In fact, Yunfei also understands that the emperor is the supreme ruler and cannot afford to make any mistakes. The self-torture trick Yunfei mentioned is just for Zongzheng Xiaoting to see. Imagine, if someone deliberately pretends to be bad for the emperor and the princess, and the emperor heroically saves the beauty, wouldn't it be possible to narrow the distance between them? As for the injuries, Yunfei believes that the people in the Imperial Hospital will know how to conceal it."

Gong Yunfei spoke carefully, and seeing the expressions of sudden enlightenment on the faces of the empress dowager and Gong Yunluo, she continued, "Of course, this way, the emperor and Zongzheng Xiaoting can also be alone. With the life-saving grace and other benefits, Yunfei believes that it will be possible to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, as a woman, don't you all hope that the person you love most can be by your side when you are in the most dangerous time?"

"Very good!" The Queen Mother praised, "Everyone has their own expectations in their hearts. As a woman, I like to imagine infinite beauty. If someone accompanies me in times of crisis, when I am most vulnerable, I will easily be moved by someone who comes close to me."

Gong Yunfei agreed, "So, Yunfei believes that, in this way, at least the emperor will marry Zongzheng Xiaoting in the future, and Zongzheng Xiaoting will not be too disgusted. Moreover, now the emperor has also deliberately thrown out the reason for the three lives of fate, right? In this way, it can give Zongzheng Xiaoting the feeling and illusion that the love is so deep that he can go through fire and water without caring about his own safety. After all, Brother Xunxiao has done this for her, so if the emperor does the same, it can be even more shocking, because, as the emperor, the emperor, the country and the world are all in his hands, but he can do this for her, doesn't it show more of his status and how important it is to the emperor?"

"Pa pa pa!" The emperor's applause echoed in the hall, and he looked at Gong Yunfei with approval. "I think this plan is very good."

Although the Queen Mother agreed, she was still somewhat worried. She frowned and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, although that is true, I am worried that this self-torture trick will more or less hurt the Emperor. What should we do then?"

"Mother, I am not completely powerless. I have been practicing martial arts since I was young. How could I not be able to protect myself? Mother, you are worrying too much."

"Yes, mother, you have forgotten that at that time, you were neglected and many little eunuchs bullied you. It was your brother the emperor who chased them away. Don't worry about it anymore." When Gong Yunluo mentioned the past, she still couldn't hide her admiration for Gong Yunyang.

Convinced by Gong Yunyang and Gong Yunluo's words, the Queen Mother had no choice but to warn, "In this case, the Emperor, remember this, you must be careful and prudent, and plan everything well. I don't want to see anything happen to the Emperor!"

"Yes! I understand."

"When the time comes, Yunluo, you will hold Xunxiao back and buy a chance for your brother, the emperor." The empress dowager instructed Gong Yunluo.

"Yes! Don't worry, mother. Brother Emperor has gotten what he wished for. Yunluo herself has her own advantages. Yunluo understands." Gong Yunluo hugged the empress dowager's arm affectionately, acting like a coquettish little girl.

Gong Yunfei, who was standing aside, was laughing secretly in her heart. Gong Yunyang's safety was irrelevant to them, as they shared the same fate. As long as there was a chance, she could vent her anger. Standing silently aside, Gong Yunfei also had her own calculations.

While Gong Yunyang was calculating in Xianghe Palace, Concubine Hua also visited Tianxue Palace. Both Zongzheng Xiaoting and Mo Lian knew that there were spies in Tianxue Palace. After some false courtesy, Zongzheng Xiaoting played with the jade pendant in his hand, looked at Concubine Hua and asked with a smile, "Madam Concubine Hua, will you threaten me again and take back the heirloom?"

"How dare I." There was only a faint smile on the cold face of Concubine Hua. "In addition to thanking the princess, I also have a deal to discuss with the princess. It is about the matter of Concubine Jing. I wonder if the princess can dismiss the others to discuss it?"

"Haha, it's convenient to do business with smart people." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes lit up, and he said to Ning Shuang and the others, "Yes, step back."

"Yes!" Following the master's instructions, Qingqing and Ningshuang led everyone in the hall away.

In a moment, only Concubine Hua and Zong Zheng Xiao Ting were left in the palace. Looking at Concubine Hua's appearance, Zong Zheng Xiao Ting understood that what happened today had indeed sounded a wake-up call for her.

"Princess, Mo Lian was indeed not at peace with Concubine Jing about what happened today..."

Princess Hua wanted to explain, but was stopped by Zong Zheng Xiao Ting, "I grew up in the inner court of the imperial palace, and I have seen a lot of the endless traps in the harem. You don't need to explain. I believe that those who can be trusted by the prince will never lose their nature because of a little glory and wealth."

"Yes!" Mo Lian nodded, "But, although Mo Lian has many ways to spy on information, he has never encountered such intrigue and frame-up. Now think about it, if the person today was not a princess, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head, "That may not be the case. This palace Yunyang may not be as pampered to Concubine Jing as everyone sees, and for you, I'm afraid he still wants to see if the astrological predictions are accurate. The prince wants you to enter the palace to investigate old events. Seeing so many changes today, I have a better idea that can save your life for a while in the future. We can also use the trick to find the answer. Are you interested?"

After Zong Zheng Xiaoting whispered, surprise suddenly appeared in the eyes of the painted concubine.
