Silence spread silently between each other.

Concubine Jing looked at Zong Zheng Xiao Ting with an endless sadness, but then she just smiled and nodded to Zong Zheng Xiao Ting, "Since that's the case, please be patient, Princess. I will persuade the emperor to set an early date for the wedding. Remember to come to the palace to choose the right jewelry and jade at that time."

"In that case, I will not see Concubine Jing off." Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned away, maintaining her usual arrogance, but with a look of contempt, "Qingqing, please see Concubine Jing off on my behalf."

"Yes!" Qingqing did as she was told and respectfully escorted Concubine Jing out of the side hall.

At this time, Xiaohong and Ningshuang, who were accompanying Zongzheng Xiaoting, also frowned. Xiaohong was cautious in her words and actions. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she suppressed them and did not say anything or ask any further questions. Ningshuang, on the other hand, gradually became familiar with her master's temperament and did not pay much attention to her words. She just frowned and said, "Princess, you won't really do that. You should follow Concubine Jing's method!"

"Why not?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting laughed softly, then he put away the face that he deliberately showed in front of others, and blinked at the maid innocently, "Don't think I'm stupid for giving you the silver!"

Ning Shuang is obviously troubled by her master's love of money. Recently, she pursed her lips and said, "Princess, you still can't figure it out. Think about it, how can her so-called gold, silver and treasures compare to the prince's? If the princess marries into the palace, with the prince's current power, how can it be inferior to the gold, stone and jade in the harem."

"Yes, that's what I said." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, but his face still showed his longing for the conditions mentioned by Concubine Jing.

When Qingqing came back, she heard Ningshuang's words. At this moment, Zongzheng Xiaoting also asked with a smile, "Xiaohong, do you think there is anything wrong with me agreeing to this deal?"

"This..." Xiaohong obviously didn't expect the master to ask this question. For a moment, she was also hesitant, thinking about all this, blinking her eyes. She looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with a puzzled look, "In fact, in my opinion, it's not just a loss."

"Oh?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows and motioned Xiaohong to continue.

Xiaohong swallowed her saliva and bowed to Zongzheng Xiaoting, "I am worried that I have lost my wife and my soldiers. As Ningshuang said, the princess will be the master of the palace, and what belongs to the prince is also the princess's. What can the princess want? But the truth is, although the prince loves the princess deeply, he is also famous for his military exploits. If the princess escapes the marriage this time, wouldn't it be shameful for the prince?"

"Are you worried that running away from the marriage will anger the prince?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked.

"yes!"

"What if this is not a runaway marriage?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "I just need to create chaos, that's enough."

"But Princess, the prince's ability and anger will surely get to the bottom of this. This excuse will not be able to cover up the truth." Xiaohong was very worried, and Ningshuang beside her also nodded frequently.

Zongzheng Xiaoting looked up at Qingqing, and there was a knowing smile between the master and servant. It was not the first time for Situ Xunxiao to escape from marriage. If he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, he would do it. Anyway, if he missed the opportunity to take stock of the beautiful jades in the harem, he would miss it.

Qingqing received a hint from her master and spoke up, "Actually, I think this is an opportunity to know how much the prince cares about me. I can also ask the princess to dampen Concubine Jing's temper and make her give up completely to save the princess's face."

"That's right, Qingqing has spoken out what I'm thinking. What's more, only you and I four know about this matter. And for General Yuan and his men, their master is only me, who is safer. Why do you worry about it?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting waved his hand and smiled.

Only Xiaohong and Ningshuang were left, unable to persuade their master to change his mind, with hesitation and uneasiness on their faces.

The following days were very peaceful. Apart from Lei Yue being imprisoned and gaining nothing, there were no other disturbances.

When the emperor recovered four days later, he also issued an order to arrange the wedding of the war king three days later. After the order was issued, Gong Yunluo was so angry that he hid in the palace and refused to see anyone. And Gong Yunfei, who was rare, came to the Tianlao.

In the dark and humid cell, a foul smell filled her nose. However, Gong Yunfei did not show any disgust. She only had a happy smile on her face as she walked step by step towards where Lei Yue was.

After dismissing everyone, Gong Yunfei's calm beauty looked out of place in the cell. However, she didn't care at all. She pushed the door open and squatted in front of Lei Yue. She tilted her head slightly and shook her head, "I never thought that the once majestic general would end up like this."

"Princess Yunfei." Lei Yue had never thought that the person who came to visit him would be Gong Yunfei. He only remembered the gentleness and kindness of this princess in his memory. He hurriedly begged for help and kowtowed to Gong Yunfei, "Princess, save me, I am innocent."

"Of course I know that the general is innocent." Gong Yunfei stood up, smiled calmly, and sat down on a chair nearby. "However, besides me, I know that you are innocent. I am afraid that only the general himself knows how innocent he is."

The tone of the person in front of him made Lei Yue's eyes widen in shock. Why did Princess Yun Fei's smile become more and more terrifying the more he looked at it?

"I don't understand what the princess said." A look of alert flashed in Lei Yue's eyes.

"Don't understand?" Gong Yunfei's pretty eyebrows moved slightly, "Haha, that's right. If General Lei understood, would Yunfei still be full of energy and come to see the general? It's a pity that the general's most capable subordinate's endless confession is the most fatal."

"Is it Wu Jue?!" Lei Yue roared.

"Yeah, if it's not him, who else could it be?" Gong Yunfei smiled, "But, to be exact, it's not him either, who wants him to love me? Haha, General Lei, what do you think will happen to Concubine Lei if Wu Jue drags her into this? If the general plots rebellion, the emperor may take into account the relationship between husband and wife and give him a lighter sentence. However, if Concubine Lei incites the general to rebel, I wonder if your precious daughter and anyone in your nine clans can survive?"

Gong Yunfei's words made Lei Yue glare in anger, as if he wanted to skin and tear Gong Yunfei apart.
