Seeing Concubine Jing's face full of interest, Gong Yunyang said in a gentle tone: "Okay, let's rest in this inn for a day. Jing'er hasn't been out for several years. If you want to go somewhere, go ahead, but you must protect the baby in your belly."

Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Jing was a little surprised, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion, "Huh? Master, aren't you going to accompany me?"

Because they were out of town, they also hid the names they used in the palace to avoid being seen. Concubine Jing, who was originally very excited, was thinking that she could use this tour to recall the good old days with the emperor. Seeing that Concubine Jing could not hide her disappointment, Gong Yunyang coaxed her gently, "I have been very tired these days. I'd better go back to the inn and have a rest! Or let Yanxian accompany you to have a good time! When we arrive at the summer resort, I will have a good rest and will definitely accompany you to have a good time, okay?"

"Well, then you should rest more." Although Concubine Jing was somewhat reluctant, she did not dare to act rashly. Besides, she had been in the palace since she was young and it had been several years since she had been exposed to the hustle and bustle of the folk society. She felt excited and expectant in her heart and did not feel so lonely.

"Xiaoting, do you want to go with us?" Gong Yunyang asked with a smile, but he saw Zongzheng Xiaoting frowning and looking at the huge crowds of people in the distance, and shook his head slowly, "I'm not interested in the hustle and bustle of the crowds."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the joy on the faces of the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing, and naturally understood that it was rare for a woman who had lived in the deep palace for a long time to have such freedom. Perhaps out of sympathy or out of grief, Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned to Yuan Xian and gave him instructions, "It's rare that the old lady and Sister Jing are so enthusiastic. Yuan Xian, the task of protecting them falls on you. Do you need Zi Xin to accompany you?"

"This..." Yuan Xian was a little embarrassed, looking at the crowds of people in the distance. He knew very well that the empress dowager and Concubine Jing were of noble status. Although there was no disturbance, one was pregnant, the other was old, and one was accidentally lost. That would be troublesome. However, looking at the princess, except for him and Wei Zixin, there was no one else available. Although the prince also secretly sent guards, these guards would not take action unless it was absolutely necessary. Now, the emperor also had other intentions. What should he do?

While he was thinking, Concubine Hua spoke slowly, "Looking at the huge crowds, it's really noisy. I'm a little homesick. I wonder if the old lady is willing to let me accompany her?"

Yuan Xian naturally understood that this was a status of the Painted Concubine. With her words, he felt more confident. "I have a certain degree of confidence in myself. Three or four people are not a problem."

"Master, please rest assured! It's rare for me to join in the fun. With me and Wu Xian accompanying you, you can be taken care of." Bai Yungang glanced at Yuan Xian and then spoke. He had his own selfish motives. On the one hand, he believed that the emperor would make other choices, and on the other hand, he couldn't take the risk. The princess must be accompanied by someone she could trust. If the two generals left the princess, there would be some things that the princess couldn't choose for herself!

Or for the emperor, Gong Yunyang is more worthy of his expectation than Situ Xunxiao, but for the Bai family and the two daughters, only the princess's willingness is the best for them! And no matter whether the princess finally chooses the War King or the Emperor of Yunguang Kingdom, it will not be bad for Bai Yungang. There is one thing, if the princess is not willing, then once the princess holds power in the future, the princess will only be deeper and heavier to him, and he knows very well that what he said he wanted is not hostility, and deep in his heart he still wants to keep a little bit of family warmth, even if he can imagine that these family warmth will become treading on thin ice because of her calculations, but at least they will definitely be able to stay for a long time.

On this side, Bai Yungang had his own calculations and thoughts, on the other side, Gong Yunyang seemed to have expected it and was not too unhappy. He knew long ago when they were whispering about the matter of the Crown Princess that for Bai Yungang, it was very clear which was advantageous and which was disadvantageous after weighing the pros and cons. And a smart man like him would naturally choose to stand with Zong Zheng Xiaoting, regardless of having two more generals or two less. Bai Yungang and Wu Xian were both military generals, and the self-torture tactic in the plan had to more or less take their existence into consideration, so I had to be prepared for the possibility of losing troops in advance. Now, after sending away such a group of people, even if Wei Zixin was left behind, there would still be some superficial attacks. In his eyes, there was no difference at all.

"Okay, you all go ahead, I'd better take a rest." Gong Yunyang waved his hand, and accompanied by his entourage, he and Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked into the inn one after the other.

However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked slower and slower, turning his head from time to time to look at the figures leaving in the distance, and gradually, he distanced himself from the emperor.

"Master." Wei Zixin followed Zong Zheng Xiaoting and walked behind him. After making sure that no one else could hear their conversation at this distance, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you need me to send some more people over?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned his head and smiled, "It's okay. I believe in your abilities and my ability to protect myself. I know that if you don't venture into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger cub. Since some things have been planned by others, we always try to avoid them and they won't be able to do anything. In this way, if we want to know what the other party wants to do, there is no way. Let's wait and see."

"Yes!" Wei Zixin nodded and said no more.

When the upper room was ready, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was in his room drinking tea when the sound of fighting next door began to be heard. Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Wei Zixin, and both of them had doubts in their eyes. Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "It seems that it is just as I expected. Let's go and take a look!"

Wei Zixin rushed in without saying a word. As expected, he saw the mess on the ground and Gong Yunyang struggling with the assassin. Several of his followers beside him had already died.

"Xiaoting, what are you doing here!" Gong Yunyang was distracted and was slashed hard. The pain made him look scared. These people really wanted to kill him! Gong Yunyang was terrified. In order to play the whole play, he knew that all the servants who accompanied him must die, but he would not be hurt at all. But now...

"You dog emperor, give me your life!" The assassins dodged Wei Zixin and attacked Gong Yunyang in unison.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly threw out the tear-inducing powder that Chen Xianzhi had prepared for her, and ran with the emperor. In a moment, they actually got rid of the large number of pursuers. With the cover of the crowd, the two of them took many turns and finally stopped in an abandoned cabin somewhere. However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the emperor's wounds and frowned. He said that this was a self-torture tactic. The emperor was too desperate! What's more, the eyes of those killers just now did not look like they were playing around. Could it be that they were rebelling?
