When Zong Zheng Xiaoting came to Yu's study, Bai Yungang also happened to arrive there and was having a pleasant conversation with Gong Yunyang.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting glanced at the people present and became more and more confused about what Gong Yunyang was up to. He saw that the Queen Mother, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hua were all present, and their posture showed that they were about to accompany him.
"The princess is here?" The Queen Mother looked peaceful, as if what happened yesterday was just a dream and never really existed.
"I've met the Queen Mother." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled back and was very polite.
"Princess, you are too polite. We intend to accompany the princess and the prime minister on this trip to experience the customs and practices of various places in our Yunguang Kingdom. We will be visiting incognito along the way, so the princess must not be so polite." The queen mother waved her hand quickly.
A round of pleasantries and courtesies echoed in Yu's study.
When the eunuchs and palace maids came to report that everything was ready, Zong Zheng Xiaoting just smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's time for General Yuan and General Wei to arrive."
"The princess is traveling with anyone else?" the Queen Mother asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, my father told me to be careful and to take precautions. Don't worry, Queen Mother. General Yuan and General Wei will accompany us, so they won't attract attention. More importantly, if anything happens, everyone will be protected." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's smile was so sincere that it was hard to blame.
The emperor was only slightly stunned, then he whispered a few words to the eunuch, and then led everyone out of the study and went to the carriage waiting in front of the palace gate.
At this moment, the young eunuch who received the emperor's order was also in a hurry and hurried towards Gong Yunluo's residence.
When the eunuch arrived, Gong Yunfei was carefully wiping Gong Yunfei's wounds. Her face was more and more swollen today. From the degree of swelling, it can be vaguely seen that Zong Zheng Xiaoting's slaps yesterday were very strong. Of course, with Gong Yunfei's medical skills, there is actually a way to quickly reduce Gong Yunluo's swelling. Unfortunately, she never thought about truly relieving Gong Yunluo's pain from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, Gong Yunfei was so diligent in applying medicine to Gong Yunluo today, just to delay her symptoms for a few more days.
With her slender white fingers, she wiped Gong Yunluo's wound very gently, pretending to be distressed. "This Zong Zheng Xiaoting is really cruel. Sister, you don't know, today, I saw her face, but there was nothing unusual, which shows that you are still kind and compassionate. Think about it, it's the same slap on the face, why did she heal so quickly, but you have to suffer this? It's really infuriating."
"Hmph, if it weren't for my brother the Emperor, I would have killed her." Gong Yunluo's face was swollen as a pig's head, and she looked upset.
"Alas, I just don't know how long I have to endure it." Gong Yunfei sighed, "Yunfei is now thinking about the injuries on your face. I don't know if it is appropriate to let Brother Xunxiao see them. Alas."
Gong Yunluo's self-esteem made her immediately deny Gong Yunfei's opinion, "I don't want to see anyone in this state! Yunfei, do you think I'm not embarrassed enough? What's more, Brother Xunxiao is helping Zongzheng Xiaoting. Maybe he's still angry now."
"Sister, Yun Fei dare not!" Gong Yun Fei's eyes were red with anxiety, and she quickly grabbed Gong Yunluo's hand, "If it weren't for the fact that Brother Xun Xiao was still angry, Yun Fei wouldn't dare to mention this matter."
Listening to Gong Yunfei's words, Gong Yunluo became interested, "What do you mean? Do you have a way to make Brother Xunxiao not angry?"
"Don't worry, sister. Yunfei is not sure about the solution, but if you wait until the wound on your face heals, you may lose the best opportunity. By that time, brother Xunxiao will have a distance from you and think that you are no longer the sister you used to be and that you are on the same side as the empress dowager and the emperor. What should we do then, sister?" Gong Yunfei looked worried, which made Gong Yunluo worried as well.
"What should I do? I didn't expect that Brother Xunxiao would suddenly show up. Alas, I swore to Brother Xunxiao that I would never bully Zongzheng Xiaoting. What should I do?" Gong Yunluo became anxious.
Gong Yunfei, who already knew how to make Gong Yunluo do what she wanted, always had a flash of mockery and disdain in her eyes when Gong Yunluo foolishly let herself do whatever she wanted. This time, it was no exception. She changed her mood and soothed Gong Yunluo with a good sister's face, "Actually, I don't understand what Brother Xunxiao is thinking now, but, sister, do you think that Brother Xunxiao was so angry that day because he saw the injury on Zongzheng Xiaoting's face? Maybe that's why he spoke ill of you, but Brother Xunxiao doesn't know your injury. You care about your reputation. If that were the case, maybe Brother Xunxiao wouldn't feel sorry for you."
"That makes sense." Gong Yunluo nodded repeatedly, "Then I will go find Brother Xunxiao now."
"Wait." Gong Yunfei held Gong Yunluo who was about to stand up and walk out, with a look of trepidation on her face, "Sister, Yunfei also said that she was not sure whether Brother Xunxiao would feel distressed or think of Zongzheng Xiaoting if he saw it, so this is also the reason why Yunfei hesitated. Yunfei was really worried that Brother Xunxiao, who was bewitched by her, would hurt her heart."
"No! I believe that Brother Xunxiao would not do this." Gong Yunluo looked very confident. When he was about to pull Gong Yunfei away, the little eunuch happened to walk in.
"I have met the two princesses!"
"Xiao Xizi, why are you here?" Gong Yunluo frowned, looking at the eunuch serving Gong Yunyang, and couldn't help asking, "Shouldn't you be accompanying your brother the emperor on his journey?"
"Yes! It's just that some accidents happened. The emperor ordered me to stay and wait for the orders of the two princesses. Things have changed." Xiao Xizi hurriedly informed everyone that before setting off, Zong Zheng Xiaoting had brought two more guards and generals with him.
Gong Yunfei's eyes flashed with joy when listening to Xiao Xizi's words. However, facing Gong Yunluo and Xiao Xizi, he looked uneasy, "This is bad. Originally, according to the plan, Prime Minister Bai and his old general Wu Xianhui would go together. It was already very troublesome. Now, there are two more young generals. What should we do?"
"I want to ask you something else." Gong Yunluo paced back and forth anxiously. "Brother Emperor, this time, let's forget about the so-called incognito tour. You have to play the trick of self-torture. If the person you choose has two minds, then it will be troublesome. Now, how can we arrange the right person?"
Gong Yunfei had a look of distress on his face and kept rubbing his brows, but his eyes hidden under his palms were filled with murderous intent.
