Chapter 254: Rivals Meet



Gongsun Zixing met Situ Xunxiao's gaze and smiled, a smile that was full of elegance. He looked calmly at the purple figure standing outside the cell with his hands behind his back. His aura was hard to conceal, and he did have the aura of a tyrant. Unlike the last meeting a few months ago, at this moment, Situ Xunxiao standing in front of him was even more domineering and noble. His overwhelming aura did make him feel a little suffocated, and even more so, he had a majesty that no one dared to resist.

It was also this kind of person who eventually married Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Gongsun Zixing thought to himself that only a man like this could suppress a woman as thoughtful as Zongzheng Xiaoting. In fact, although Zongzheng Xiaoting had never mentioned Situ Xunxiao, he had discovered something different that day in the inn. That was that he had a different side towards Situ Xunxiao, the calm and intelligent woman.

Gongsun Zixing's lips curled slightly downward, feeling somewhat helpless. In fact, on this point, I'm afraid that the authorities are confused while the bystanders are clear. In the eyes of outsiders, and even in the eyes of Situ Xunxiao, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's posture of defending himself that day must have been misunderstood as caring about him to the point of being an enemy of Situ Xunxiao, right? But what is the truth?

"I didn't expect the prince to come." Gongsun Zixing said in a low voice, his voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time. However, this did not affect the impact he brought to Situ Xunxiao. This man, when silent, has a sense of elegance, and when he speaks, his temperament is even more prominent. It is obviously just an ordinary sentence, but there is a feeling of calmness and fearlessness.

"I want to hear what you have to say." Situ Xunxiao stood behind the prison door, not intending to step in. He just looked at Gongsun Zixing coldly with a sharp gaze.

"My words are the same as Xiaoting's." Gongsun Zixing smiled and stood up slowly. He was unwilling to sit and look up at the high-handed man. Standing up and looking straight at him was his pride, and it was also a cover-up for Zongzheng Xiaoting. Although he didn't understand why Zongzheng Xiaoting needed to create such a misunderstanding, he was damned happy to create such a misunderstanding for her.

Xiaoting? Hearing Gongsun Zixing's address, Situ Xunxiao's mouth twitched. It was such an intimate address. However, he couldn't say anything, so he could only deliberately raise his eyebrows, "Gongsun Zixing, don't you know that she is a princess first, and my queen second?"

What Situ Xunxiao meant was that you cannot call her by this name. But...

"Haha, don't you understand Xiaoting's personality?" Gongsun Zixing responded to Situ Xunxiao with a low laugh. There was no disrespect or provocation, but just a tone of stating facts. However, Situ Xunxiao's heart was blocked. "Xiaoting's personality is not the kind of old-fashioned in the eyes of the world. For her, there are only what she likes and what she doesn't like, nothing else. She doesn't care about the status and worldly eyes of the people she likes. She doesn't care about the people she doesn't like, even if they are well-matched or noble."

Listening to those very calm words, Situ Xunxiao felt even more uncomfortable. He admitted that what Gongsun Zixing said was true, but such a fact, coming from the mouth of the person that Zong Zheng Xiaoting cared about, made him jealous to the point of wanting to kill! Although at this moment, he damn well knew that it was not only Gongsun Zixing who would feel this way about Zong Zheng Xiaoting, he was afraid that anyone who came into contact with her, whether it was himself or Gong Yunyang, would feel the same way, but it was just that when Gongsun Zixing said it, it was damn harsh!

"The princess doesn't mind, but I do. Not everyone can call my princess by her name." The cold voice came out like a sharp blade.

"Haha, Your Highness, you are here to ask about the case, right? Honestly, I don't know what there is to explain. That day, I just chatted with Xiaoting for a long time, and when it was late at night, I wanted to send her back to her room to rest, but I happened to meet the person who assassinated her. Since our Jade Villa is heavily guarded, anyone who could sneak in must have good martial arts skills, so for safety reasons, I chased him out, and then I lost consciousness, that's all. I think this is what Xiaoting said, right?" Gongsun Zixing said lightly, as if nothing could make him lose his elegance and indifference.

"One-sided story." Situ Xunxiao uttered these four words from his thin lips and was about to turn around and leave. However, before he had taken a few steps, he heard the voice of Gongsun Zixing from behind, faintly interrupting.

"Whether your Highness believes it or not, I don't care. However, if the other party really wants to kill Xiao Ting, your Highness should have taken precautions instead of being jealous of me. After all, although Xiao Ting and I have feelings for each other, we are not destined to be together, and at this moment, she is already the Princess of Zhan. Letting his wife be assassinated is not a naked provocation against the Zhan Palace?" Gongsun Zixing raised the corners of his mouth, looking at Situ Xunxiao's back and said, "In fact, your Highness' hostility towards me is really unnecessary. In the final analysis, you and I are both people who have fallen on the other side of the world. Xiao Ting and I are not destined to be together, and your Highness has a share but no fate. However, if you truly love someone, you want her to be happy. That's all. What do you think, your Highness?"

The only response he got was Situ Xunxiao's receding figure and the sound of his footsteps going away.

Situ Xunxiao, who left the prison, was still as cold as ice on the surface, but the anger in his heart was indeed burning. Assassination? It was only one day, just one day without the secret guards to protect her, so someone was so impatient? Because someone was assassinating her, so she knew why Gongsun Zixing appeared in the inn and knew that he was innocent, so she was so aggressive to herself who had lost her ability to analyze? But, she was unwilling to explain and tell me?

The wind that blew gently at the gate of the Heavenly Prison did not blow away the depression and irritability in Situ Xunxiao's heart. Just when he was feeling even more upset, a goose-yellow figure appeared in his sight not far away.

She was wearing a goose yellow gauze, and the faint smile that was always on her unpainted face had now disappeared. It seemed that ever since the incident with Gongsun Zixing, she had lost her habitual smile, and the disappearance of that habitual smile now made him damn concerned!

On top of her simple bun, the light yellow tassels swayed as she walked. The brow pendant that fell between her brows swayed gently between her eyebrows. The slightest hint of sadness between her brows made his heart even more blocked.
