Although Xiaohong did not say who that person was, everyone knew it.

Seeing Xiaohong's sorrow, Zongzheng Xiaoting just pursed his lips tightly and sighed silently. "It was this bead that let you know that the person who died was your brother, right?"

"Yes!" Xiaohong choked up, looking at the bead in her hand, "Although this bead is completely unrecognizable, the word 'jue' engraved on it was engraved by my mother."

Tears burst out in an instant. Xiaohong's eyes were red, and she looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with a look full of pleading. She stood up from the stool and knelt down in tears, "Princess, please, avenge my brother!"

From Xiaohong's narration, Zongzheng Xiaoting also roughly understood that after recognizing her as his sister, Wu Jue often came to the palace to visit her. There was nothing to hide between brothers and sisters, especially when they had been dependent on each other since childhood. The more Xiaohong interacted with her brother, the more she knew. Whenever she saw her brother's spirits so high when he mentioned Gong Yunfei, she was secretly happy for him.

On the day of the wedding, her brother came to meet her to tell her that after today, he might no longer be hiding in the dark. At that time, she was on duty in the warehouse, and in her excitement, she almost dropped the royal jelly. And it was at that time that she accidentally stained her brother's fingers and jade pendant with royal jelly.

No one can tell at this moment whether the law is so strict that nothing can escape it. However, if this incident had not happened, perhaps Xiaohong would never know where her brother had gone until she died.

"It is because your brother told you that you can be freed and even marry Gong Yunfei soon that you asked me about Gong Yunfei, which is so rare?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood with his hands behind his back, sighing silently as he looked at the swing frame that was still swaying. If he had asked himself earlier, there wouldn't be such a tragedy. Fate plays tricks on people, it's always like this.

"Yes!" Xiao Hong burst into tears, "If I had come earlier, maybe my brother wouldn't have died, and maybe the princess wouldn't be like this now..."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not continue to tell her, but just waved his hand and said, "I don't like to have regrets in my life. We always like to say so many ifs, but if we really start over, we will just repeat it again according to our nature. It is because of our nature that we have today, and the result is like this today, so there is no if!"

Turning around gracefully, Zong Zheng Xiaoting helped Xiaohong up from her kneeling position and smiled slightly, "I will avenge your brother. Not only for your revenge, but also for my own revenge."

"Princess!" Xiaohong's lips moved, but in the end, she just nodded solemnly.

Zhou Miao, who was standing by, also hurriedly asked, "Princess, since Doctor Chen has already found out the clues, should we report it to the prince?"

"No need." Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head. These days, Situ Xunxiao must have hated him to the core. As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. In his eyes, Gongsun Zixing was the one he loved with all his heart. After his beloved little sister was raped, it was normal for him to act like this in anger. However, he rudely stopped him from venting his anger, and even threatened him. If he asked him for help at this moment, it would really tear his heart apart.

However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting would not tell anyone else what she was thinking. She just said softly, "My next plan cannot fail. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

"yes!"

"From now on, all of my plans regarding Gongsun Zixing must not be known to anyone else." Zong Zheng Xiaoting narrowed his eyes.

After everyone left, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, accompanied by Qing Qing, walked out of Yun Xiao Courtyard. However, when he passed by the study, he ran into two people by chance.

"Hello, Princess!" Lin Yin and Xiang Bichi hurriedly greeted her.

How could a beautiful girl from Nanyuan appear here? Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned, then relaxed and nodded to the two of them, "Get up."

"Thank you, Princess!" The two had different expressions on their faces. Lin Yin was a little nervous, and her breathing seemed a little awkward. However, Xiang Bichi had a confident smile on her face.

It seems that some people are nervous because they are worried that getting close to Situ Xunxiao without my permission will make me, the princess, unhappy. And some people are confident because they think they have the ability to win Situ Xunxiao's heart? "I have been too busy recently and almost forgot that there are three beautiful people in this palace who have not been arranged yet."

Sure enough, when Zong Zheng Xiaoting said this, a trace of worry flashed across their faces, but one was obvious while the other was dark.

"The choice of a concubine is not something that can be decided just because the princess thinks it is okay." A low and indifferent voice came from the study.

"Hello, Your Highness!" The two of them bowed quickly.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, on the other hand, was as still as a mountain. Leaving behind someone whom he hadn't seen for three days, it was better for him not to see him again. The look in Situ Xunxiao's eyes, looking at him, was nothing but strangeness, not even a trace of resentment.

"I just wanted to mention that the prince is nervous." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled softly, looking at Situ Xunxiao's eyes, without any displeasure or provocation. After scanning Lin Yin and Xiangbi Pool, he chuckled softly, "But the prince is keeping it a secret. If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have accidentally touched the prince's scales."

"Qingqing, in a few days, please send some nice clothes to the two ladies for me. As for Yinyu, don't neglect her." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded to Situ Xunxiao, turned around and left.

Staring at Zongzheng Xiaoting's departing figure, Situ Xunxiao's eyes grew a little colder.

"Your Highness! The princess won't be angry, right?" Lin Yin asked timidly.

"So what?" Situ Xunxiao walked quickly into the study.

Xiang Bichi looked at Lin Yin with a mocking look, "How could the prince be afraid of the princess? It's you, on the other hand, who I really don't understand. How can you compare to Yin Yu and actually interest the prince?"

With a disdainful sneer, Xiang Bichi raised her head proudly and followed him into the study.

On the other side, Qingqing, who followed Zongzheng Xiaoting away, also had a worried look on her face.

"Princess, are you okay?" Leaving the study, the princess walked faster and faster. If she wasn't so concerned, she wouldn't have been so upset these days. Although she knew that a large part of it was because she was worried about Gongsun Zixing, if she wasn't also concerned about the prince's overly cold attitude, the princess wouldn't have frowned all day.
