Retracting his gaze, Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to Zhou Miao, "Since I have sent two generals to protect Gongsun Zixing, it means that my safety needs to be handed over to you."

Zhou Miao raised his head suddenly, looking at the trust in Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

"Zhou Miao, although you and I have not had much contact in the palace, since Situ Xunxiao can promote you in such a short time, he must be right. And I also believe in your character. If the Queen Mother makes any move, and I go to stop it, it will not be Situ Xunxiao who will be implicated, but if it is you, it will definitely involve the Zhan Palace. Even now, whether I am the princess or not, it is the same. After all, I am a princess first, and then a princess. So, protect Gongsun Zixing for me. It definitely cannot be you." Zong Zheng Xiaoting curled his lips and smiled slightly.

"And in the palace, the princess doesn't know what might happen. With subordinates around, at least they will take their subordinates into consideration?" Zhou Miao asked.

"That's right." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded and took a breath. "And the black hand that I suspect will be jealous of Situ Xunxiao. As long as he thinks that you were sent by Situ Xunxiao, he will definitely be jealous. More importantly, the hostile disdain in the eyes of this deputy general towards me is not what he should have. Even their General Hu has never had that. I suspect that there is something wrong with this man."

"Disdain?" Zhou Miao was puzzled. He looked like he was doing his job impartially. However, when he saw the determination in Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes, Zhou Miao pursed his lips and said, "If it is as the princess said, may I need your cooperation later? After all, we should give the other party the wrong information."

Zhou Miao's thoughts were consistent with Zong Zheng Xiaoting's. He saw his master nodded to what he admired. Then, he walked towards the carriage and lifted the curtain, "Brother Zixing."

"I'm sorry to trouble you for me." Gongsun Zixing smiled bitterly.

"Now, we are grasshoppers on a rope." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and shook his head, lowering his voice, "Besides, even if you can escape, you don't want to."

Gongsun Zixing, who was seen through, just smiled elegantly, "I am glad that you and I are friends, not enemies."

"You are enduring, I understand." Zongzheng Xiaoting lowered her eyes. When she and Situ Xunxiao were at loggerheads, Gongsun Zixing hinted to her not to be impulsive and that he would rather surrender. Although she didn't understand why, she felt that there was something more important than his life, which made him fearless.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his eyes, "If someone asks you, just insist that you and I have decided to be together for life. No matter who it is!"

Not understanding the intention of Zongzheng Xiaoting's words, Gongsun Zixing just met her gaze, closed his eyes and nodded.

"Take care." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said nothing more and turned away. However, she was suddenly plotted against and caught off guard, which made her suddenly sad. She didn't find the Jade Haze Stone, but was trapped in a difficult situation. If these difficult things are not solved, when can she find the life-saving Jade Haze Stone at a specific time?

Feeling a little depressed and annoyed, Zong Zheng Xiaoting bit his lower lip and closed his eyes in pain, but because of the sudden grievance, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

When he raised his eyes again, he saw Situ Xunxiao riding back to Prince Zhan's Mansion at full speed.

Turning his eyes away, Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to Qingqing, "Go back home."

Without saying hello to Situ Xunxiao, Zong Zheng Xiaoting just ignored Situ Xunxiao and the Queen Mother and just passed by Situ Xunxiao.

Watching the princess leave, the deputy general returned to the carriage this time, only to hear Zhou Miao and Yuan Xian talking in low voices, "The prince wants me to follow his wishes and follow the princess. Do you think the princess is angry with the prince right now, will she take her anger out on me?"

"It's hard to say. Besides, you and I both know that you are following the orders of the prince. Now you say that you are at the service of the princess, but you and I both know that you are following the prince's wishes and deliberately saying this to the princess. Even if it is the princess, she can't just leave me to the prince like this and ask me to follow the prince's orders. You'd better be careful." Yuan Xian shook his head, "May you be lucky."

Zhou Miao only sighed and then walked towards Prince Zhan's palace.

The deputy general standing beside him had a hint of a smile on his face.

As soon as Zong Zheng Xiaoting entered the palace, everyone responded in the same way. They changed their address to "princess" and greeted her as "princess". This made Zong Zheng Xiaoting raise his eyebrows and said, "I remember that I did not hold the ceremony of worshipping in the hall."

"Because the prince told everyone that the princess had secretly married him and that they had gotten married under the cliff with heaven and earth as witnesses." Qingqing whispered, "So, even though the princess left, the wedding was considered complete."

After hearing Qingqing's words, Zongzheng Xiaoting nodded stiffly and said nothing more. Situ Xunxiao's intention was to kill Gong Yunyang's plan, and she was just planning to delay time. Gong Yunyang was calculating many things, and she was calculating them. Why didn't Situ Xunxiao calculate them too? And judging from the current situation, even if she delayed, it would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket. With such a conspiracy trap, how long she would stay in Yunguang Country, no one knew.

A helpless sigh came out heavily.

"After returning here, I have to live a cautious life again." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled bitterly, "The happiness in Yushi Town only lasted for one night. That's it."

"Princess, why do you feel so heavy-hearted in just one night?" Qingqing has been with Zongzheng Xiaoting for a long time and can feel her changes.

Ning Shuang was silent at first, but when she was walking around the corridor with Zong Zheng Xiao Ting, she suddenly spoke up, "Yes, why did the princess say that the happiness in Yushi Town only lasted for one night? If the prince heard this, it would be a big deal."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was originally somewhat suspicious of Ning Shuang's impulse today, suddenly stopped when Ning Shuang spoke again, "I don't want to get married. You must know who is your master, Situ Xunxiao or me?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Ning Shuang Pu Tong kneel down all of a sudden. "Princess, I just couldn't stand the way that deputy general treated you just now. I thought there was a rift between you and the prince, so I told you what the prince said at the wedding banquet. It's also for you, the princess."

"Get up." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at Ning Shuang for a long time before he spoke slowly. He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the corridor, but saw a purple robe suddenly appear at the corner. When he met Situ Xunxiao's gaze, he felt a chill coming over him. Did he hear what he just said?

The purple robe swayed as he moved. When he passed by Zongzheng Xiaoting, Situ Xunxiao just stopped for a moment, glanced at her, pursed his lips, and lifted his feet again, passing by her, bringing up a breeze.
