Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled faintly and turned to look at Situ Xunxiao with a probing look. Now it seems that it is not unreasonable that Concubine Jing can win Situ Xunxiao's heart.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's expression wandered between Concubine Jing and him, causing Situ Xunxiao to frown, "Things are not what you think."

The deep voice, with a hint of anxiety not to be misunderstood, was met with a heartless reply from Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "What does it have to do with me?"

Giving a smile that said "I understand", Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his head and smiled faintly, but this made Situ Xunxiao feel helpless and annoyed.

The two of them were talking in low voices, which made Gong Yunyang more unhappy. "Lei Yue's matter will be handled by King Zhan and Prime Minister Jiang. As for the wedding, I will make my own arrangements to bring Lei Yue to justice. I am tired, you all can leave. As for the princess, what does the princess want?"

"Xiao Ting has not thought about this yet." Zong Zheng Xiao Ting smiled, "How about the emperor give Xiao Ting a gold pass? In the future, if the emperor wants Xiao Ting to promise, as long as it does not violate the stability of the country and is reasonable, the emperor can fulfill Xiao Ting's wish. What do you think? Of course, Xiao Ting does not want anyone else to know about the poisoning."

"This..." Gong Yunyang hesitated, but he could not find any excuse in Zongzheng Xiaoting's words. Although he knew that her last sentence, seemingly speaking to the ministers present, was actually a threat to him, the favor and the Queen Mother's poisoning were both owed to her by his Yunguang Kingdom. Anyway, this request was not excessive.

"Okay, I agree. Everyone, please go away." Following Gong Yunyang's words, everyone had no choice but to leave as he said.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor, then sighed, walked towards the Emperor, and watched everyone leave before frowning, "Emperor, you just did this. What if she makes a request that you cannot accept in the future?"

"Mother, it's hard to get off a tiger." Gong Yunyang shook his head, "Not to mention, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would really be dead. Zong Zheng Xiaoting's strategy and fearless courage in the face of danger, it's no wonder that Situ Xunxiao lost his mind."

Concubine Jing just sat quietly aside, listening to Gong Yunyang's words, her heart aching.

"So, it will be extremely difficult for Zong Zheng Xiaoting to enter the harem." The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, her face serious. Gong Yunyang glanced at Concubine Jing and saw that she was calm as water. Naturally, he also understood that the Queen Mother must have already moved her with emotion and reason. However, knowing is one thing, and how to express it is another.

"Mother, why are you..." Gong Yunyang frowned, turned to look at Concubine Jing and said, "Jing'er, I know what I promised. We can discuss this matter in the long run."

The emperor's concern and anxiety calmed Concubine Jing's heart. She smiled and said to the emperor softly, "The queen mother has told me everything. I understand. Your Majesty, you should be careful with your injury and don't get excited. I know that the emperor has always treated me differently. In the future, if you really follow what the queen mother said, I believe that the emperor's oath to become queen will still be fulfilled. Your wish is fulfilled."

"It's all my fault. I'm too greedy." Gong Yunyang sighed. "Originally, they were worried that my foundation was not stable. If I rashly made you the queen, I'm afraid that the ministers would have their own thoughts and think that I was partial to one and treated their children unfairly. After all the hard work, you are now pregnant. If you give birth to a prince, I can make you the queen and the crown prince. Hey, Jing'er, don't worry. No matter what, I must make you feel at ease. When our child is born, I will make him the crown prince, okay?"

With guilt in his gentle eyes, Gong Yunyang's hand gently touched Concubine Jing's belly.

"Yes, I also think that this is the best way. Although the queen is established, if the prince ascends the throne, she will be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. Even at that time, even in the worst case scenario, we can be on an equal footing. In this way, Concubine Jing will feel relieved." The Queen Mother nodded and approved.

"I will obey the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." Concubine Jing lowered her head, very docile.

"That's great." The Queen Mother also sat down and patted Concubine Jing's hand gently, then said to the Emperor, "Emperor, I came here as soon as I heard the news about you, but when I saw the ministers were also here, I also vaguely guessed in my heart that you know, Situ Xunxiao also knows that the matter of the Crown Princess has a lot of implications. It seems that Situ Xunxiao's ambition is indeed very big. Now, what should we do?"

"We can only delay it, what else can we do?" Gong Yunyang frowned, and the disgust in his eyes was not concealed.

"I think, if Concubine Jing still has a place in his heart, then..." The Queen Mother did not say much after that. She just looked at the Emperor and Concubine Jing with some embarrassment.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Gong Yunyang said with an unhappy look on his face. "Jing'er's heart is not on him. Moreover, even if he still refuses to give up, I will not allow my woman to be coveted by others."

Seeing the quarrel between the emperor and the empress dowager, Concubine Jing quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't get excited. Be careful not to get hurt."

"Yes, yes, yes. I was just talking. If the Emperor doesn't like it, I won't say anything." The empress dowager nodded repeatedly, but her eyes fell on Concubine Jing.

Knowing that the Queen Mother's intention was still revolving around her, Concubine Jing suppressed her unhappiness, looked at the Emperor with a smile, and said, "Actually, I think there is no need to attack Prince Zhan again."

Concubine Jing's words made the Empress Dowager and the Emperor turn their attention to her.

"Does Concubine Jing have a good idea?" There was anticipation in the Queen Mother's smile.

"Yes." Concubine Jing nodded, "But, I am afraid that if I tell you, the emperor will feel uncomfortable. However, this is the best way to solve the troubles of the emperor and the queen mother."

"Tell me about it." Gong Yunyang said.

Concubine Jing looked at the emperor hesitantly, with a hint of conflict in her eyes, but she gradually calmed down under the emperor's soothing gaze.

"In fact, the Emperor and the Queen Mother both know that Princess Xiaoting has another big problem, which is that she loves money like her life. Another point is that if she really has feelings for Prince Zhan, why would she choose a concubine? Not to mention whether these people gave her her favorite jade, this alone shows that she is a heartless person. And if, based on my observation just now, she still has some feelings for the prince, but she still keeps the candidate for concubine. So, what does this mean?" Concubine Jing paused, raised her lips, looked at the emperor, and then said hesitantly, "I think that jade and treasures are more important to the princess than the feelings of the prince."

"So?" Gong Yunyang raised his eyebrows. "She loves money as much as her life. However, after spending this night together, I understand more clearly why such a person can win Situ Xunxiao's heart. If she were a dull person, it would be impossible. And she is smart and careful. Even if she wants to start with this, it is not an easy task."

Gong Yunyang's words made the Empress Dowager look worried, but Concubine Jing beside her was still smiling.
