Zong Zheng Xiaoting said something sour. "What could have happened? It's not like they were caught having an affair in bed."

With a breath stuck in his heart, Zong Zheng Xiaoting kicked the pillar beside him in annoyance. "Hiss! It hurts."

Zongzheng Xiaoting didn't pay attention to it, and was kicked hard by himself in anger. Looking at the master's appearance, Qingqing was a little helpless, and hurriedly supported the master, "Princess, you obviously care and you are obviously uncomfortable, why do you have to be so stubborn?"

However, Qingqing's words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting glare at her, "This princess doesn't care at all."

At this moment, Qingqing was already a little embarrassed, so she had to hold back her smile and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting. As expected, she saw that the master had an awkward look on his face. He sat on the side of the corridor, looking at the scenery not far away, frowning, "What's going on with those two people?"

I know that the princess cares about it, but she says one thing and means another! Qingqing smiled secretly, and then she replied to Zongzheng Xiaoting, "To answer the princess, it will be these few days."

These days?

Retracting his gaze, Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned to look at Qing Qing, "You mean, after I come back?"

Seeing that the pain in her master's foot had subsided, Qingqing helped Zongzheng Xiaoting up and smiled softly, "Princess, do you think the prince is really that heartless? When that bastard ignored the prince and returned home, the prince's face was really ugly. After that, wasn't it just a coincidence that he met these concubines?"

"In other words, it happened in these three days?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting's mood improved slightly.

"Yes, before the prince met them, he just passed by them calmly." Qingqing said something nice, fearing that the two angry people would have other misunderstandings. "So, the prince is angry with you, Princess, why do you have to be so aggressive with the prince? If the prince didn't care, how could he suppress his revenge and let Gongsun Zixing stay safe in the prison?"

"Alas..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed deeply. Actually, she knew it, but she still couldn't calm down. Before, Situ Xunxiao went to Nanyuan deliberately because he was angry. It was just a superficial effort. To her, it had nothing to do with her.

But what about now? The rift between us cannot be explained in a few words. Moreover, my current entanglement is ridiculous. I obviously won't respond to his emotions, but I can't stand the closeness he shows with other people. Oh, how entangled I am.

"Princess, if you and the prince..."

"Don't talk about it. There's no possibility for me and him to be together." Zong Zheng Xiaoting pursed his lips, his tone a little irritable, but not as crazy as before.

"Why?" Qingqing was puzzled. Seeing how good the Prince of Zhan was to the princess, although his kindness was not overwhelming, she could feel every bit of his careful and thoughtfulness. Why did the princess always resist him so much, even using Gongsun Zixing as an excuse, angering the prince but also torturing herself?

"I still say the same thing. If being together will eventually lead to hurt, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled bitterly, shook his head, and strolled away.

At this moment, everyone in the imperial palace and the harem was trembling with fear. These days, they no longer cared about the favor, and even hoped to avoid it.

In Tianfeng Palace, Concubine Hua was looking at the sullen emperor and trying to comfort him. "Your Majesty, the dead cannot be resurrected. You can't keep feeling aggrieved like this. Otherwise, your body won't be able to bear it."

His face was cold, and his words of comfort were light. In the past few days, he needed to suppress his anger and find a solution, but he could only express his emotions in front of his concubines. However, these concubines, who were usually gentle, made him look up. They either expressed their thoughts and love for Yun Luo in a high-sounding manner, or they thought about how to take the opportunity to gain her favor. This made him feel annoyed and upset, and he dealt with many people in a fit of anger. The funny thing is that after this, these concubines avoided him like a snake and scorpion. He dared not say anything, and even a few words of comfort were cautious, fearing that they would lose her favor.

After listening to Concubine Hua's words, Gong Yunyang closed his eyes, pointed his finger at his temples, and signaled Concubine Hua to massage him.

Mo Lian watched Gong Yunyang close his eyes, a mocking smile flashed across his lips, but quickly faded away. When his cold fingers touched Gong Yunyang's temple, he indeed frowned.

"How come your body is still cold after taking care of it for so long?" Gong Yunyang asked with concern while enjoying Mo Lian's massage comfortably.

"My physique has always been like this. Maybe it's because when I was a child, I always washed in cold streams." Mo Lian's voice was very low, as if she was afraid that if she spoke louder, she would disturb Gong Yunyang. Such thoughtfulness really made Gong Yunyang feel much better.

"Only when I'm with you will I feel much better." Gong Yunyang held Mo Lian's hand and opened his eyes.

"That's because the emperor believes in me." Mo Lian smiled and put her head on Gong Yunyang's chest, muttering, "In fact, I have a confusion that I have never understood, but the emperor was too sad a few days ago, so I didn't dare to mention it. I wonder if the emperor wants to hear it now?"

With Mo Lian's confession before, Gong Yunyang was confident that his favor and control over her were enough to make Mo Lian switch sides. Now, he didn't have too many guards, "What?"

"Although the emperor didn't say anything, I know what happened to the princess." Mo Lian sighed deeply, and the warm breath from her nose made Gong Yunyang feel her emotional changes. She only said softly, "According to the emperor's instructions, I started to investigate carefully, and then reported everything in the harem as agreed. Does the emperor know what the king wants me to do next?"

"Situ Xunxiao?" Gong Yunyang frowned and stopped stroking Mo Lian.

"Yes!" Mo Lian stood up from the emperor's chest, her eyes still indifferent, but she pursed her lips and said with some regret, "Perhaps King Zhan and the emperor have a grudge, but he truly loves the princess. Today, I received a request from King Zhan to investigate Princess Yun Fei privately."

The words of the Concubine Hua made Gong Yunyang sit up suddenly, and he murmured suspiciously, "Gong Yunfei? Why investigate her?"

Seeing the emperor's confusion, Mo Lian shook her head and said, "At first, I was also confused. Later, I found out what happened to the princess. If that is true, I don't believe that the princess would leave such a will."

Once again, a murderous light flashed in the emperor's eyes.
