There was fear in Situ Xunxiao's anger!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao's expression and was sure of it in her heart. Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at Situ Xunxiao without blinking, and saw him questioning with an angry tone, but she clearly saw on his face the expression that only appeared under great pressure.

His usually cold face had a slightly distorted expression, his brows were wrinkled, and there were slight wrinkles on his forehead. Psychologically, this expression would only appear when one is under great pressure. In other words, he should not be under pressure at this moment, but he had this most honest reaction. He would not have such an expression under pressure. It was because of the fear of losing. So, he was afraid of losing himself!

"Zong Zheng Xiaoting!" Situ Xunxiao growled again.

"Uh..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting realized that the man in front of her seemed to have reached the point where she could no longer tolerate him. She was at a loss for a moment, "Well, I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious."

Knowing that she had no choice but to confess, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was not foolish enough to deny it outright. She knew very well that no matter how skilled Chen Xianzhi was in medicine or that Situ Xunxiao had someone following her secretly, they both knew that she was the only one who caused the wound. It would be unwise to pluck further hair from this hairy tiger's head.

Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting's obedient attitude, his original anger became a little unreasonable. Situ Xunxiao tried his best to suppress his anger, but his tone was still a little unfriendly, "Don't know? Never thought about it? Huh?"

"You also know that your emperor has no good intentions towards this princess." Zong Zheng Xiaoting played with his fingers by himself, like a child who had done something wrong, and bowed his head. "Although the prince has great power, if you didn't have your own considerations, you wouldn't have endured it until now. In other words, if your emperor insisted on taking it by force, the result would inevitably be a loss for both sides."

"So?" Situ Xunxiao crossed his arms over his chest, stared at the person whose head was lowering lower with a disdainful attitude, and snorted coldly.

"What could be more reliable and justified than the emperor's life-saving grace?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting's voice became softer and softer. Not only because of the grievance, but also because she knew too well that these angry questions and displeasure were more about her concern and care, and she had never been so heartless, not to mention that being heartless to those who cared about her was a great harm.

Hearing this, Situ Xunxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously and raised the chin of Zongzheng Xiaoting, who had been bowing his head, "Have you ever heard of the saying that only fish can understand the joy of fish?"

Situ Xunxiao's action made Zongzheng Xiaoting unable to react for a moment, and he stood there in a daze. The man who had always been full of confidence smiled bitterly, "Zongzheng Xiaoting, you are not the king, how do you know that the king needs you to do this?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting had a bewildered look in his eyes, but he saw that Situ Xunxiao looked hurt because of her. When he frowned in confusion, he heard him mocking himself, "From the beginning to the end, you never believed that I could protect you and promise to shelter you from the wind and rain."

Hearing this desolate tone, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's heart suddenly clenched. Did he hurt him without realizing it? In fact, even if it was just to maintain friendship, it would be hurtful to keep him at a distance, right?

"Situ Xunxiao." Zongzheng Xiaoting bit his lip, "I'm just used to it. It's better to rely on myself than on others."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting explained with a frown, but the person in front of him seemed unmoved. He sighed helplessly, "Since all good things must come to an end, the people who have accompanied you on every journey are also destined to part ways. If that's the case, why should I leave too many memories in the memories of too many people? Sometimes, for myself, I don't want to rely too much on anyone, because once I leave, it will only hurt people more."

"Even if you're willing to risk your own life to take a gamble on an unknown outcome?" Situ Xunxiao was not moved by Zongzheng Xiaoting's words, but the frown between his brows became tighter and tighter.

"Isn't the little guy still here?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked, pointed innocently at the little marten that was gradually recovering its strength and crawling around on him, and smiled innocently.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made the little mink scream. Its little eyes rolled around and then, after a cold glance from Situ Xunxiao, it immediately hid in Zong Zheng Xiaoting's clothes.

The person staring at Zong Zheng Xiaoting had a look on his face that said "You'd better explain it to me clearly". Being stared at closely, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could only smile and say, "Well, didn't you say that this little guy is very spiritual? That day, I also remembered the changes in this little guy on the jade pendant, so I suddenly had an idea and asked Xiao Yin. Sure enough, this Xiao Yin is the best panacea. As long as I move a little, it can suppress the toxin. Isn't it true that wealth and honor are sought in danger? I am not going to risk my life."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's explanation was very forced, but it was not without reason. Situ Xunxiao stared at the apologetic smiler and rubbed his brows with a headache. At first, it was because Xiaoyin was very spiritual and knew that it could inhibit toxins better than the jade pendant that he wanted it to stay with Zong Zheng Xiaoting, but he never thought that this damn woman was not only smart, but also bold and presumptuous.

With a long sigh of helplessness, Situ Xunxiao's face turned cold, "What do you want to do next?"

"Well, I don't mind you exaggerating my injuries. After all, this is also good for me." Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked, "The grace of saving my life can help me avoid being robbed."

"Okay." Situ Xunxiao nodded, with bloodthirsty murderous intent in his eyes, "Nighthawk said that the killer who was searching for your whereabouts spread the truth that Lei Yue was a traitor?"

"Well, Situ Xunxiao, what's wrong with you?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but frown as he looked at the hatred that appeared on Situ Xunxiao's face.

"It's just a person who lived a few more years. It's hard for Gong Yunfei to endure for so long and finally take action." Situ Xunxiao's expression gradually became calm, but he had already made up his mind about who would be the scapegoat this time.

"What?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting was in disbelief, his eyes widened, "Are you saying that Lei Yue was framed?"

"To be precise, history is repeating itself, and evil deeds will be punished." Situ Xunxiao shrugged indifferently.

Looking at the expression on Situ Xunxiao's face, although it became calm, there was a deep and deep sorrow, which was concealed but spread silently. Zong Zheng Xiaoting felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because of his change, and subconsciously grabbed Situ Xunxiao's sleeve.
