Gong Yunyang's bright yellow dragon robe was dazzling in the dark prison because of the light. When he stepped into the prison, he was only one step away from Gongsun Zixing. However, the emperor's dignity as the supreme ruler did not suppress Gongsun Zixing.
On the contrary, although Gongsun Zixing's clothes were a little dirty compared to him, his innate elegance could not be erased by clothes, and against this backdrop, it was even more obvious.
Before Gong Yunyang could speak, Gongsun Zixing smiled faintly, his eyes were gentle, and he nodded to the emperor in a proper manner, "I think Your Majesty, like Prince Zhan, wants to know what is going on, right?"
Gong Yunyang, who was the first to speak, looked downcast. He was a prisoner, but he was calm at this moment. He was the one who had the initiative, but now he seemed to be usurped by someone else. Zong Zheng Xiaoting, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes stayed on Gongsun Zixing.
In Zongzheng Xiaoting's heart, is this kind of man thousands of times better than Situ Xunxiao? Gong Yunyang's eyes froze, and when he thought about the news reported by the spy, he also felt unhappy.
"I think that no matter what the result of the investigation is, you can't escape the connection by appearing in the inn. What's more, as the richest businessman in the world, you are also a big family. You should naturally understand that for the sake of family interests, family shame should not be made public, and what actions should be taken." Gong Yunyang looked at Gongsun Zixing and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyebrows twitched.
Next, the conversation between Gong Yunyang and Gongsun Zixing was nothing more than a repetition of facts, but Zongzheng Xiaoting was always worried.
When the emperor was leaving, he called Zong Zheng Xiao Ting and said, "I have something to discuss with the princess."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting just smiled and nodded without saying much. He followed Gong Yunyang out of the Heavenly Prison. He took a few steps, stopped, and looked at Gongsun Zixing with a serious look.
In response to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's worries, Gongsun Zixing simply raised the corners of his lips, nodded at her solemnly, and used his eyes to signal her to rest assured.
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he was suppressed by Zong Zheng Xiao Ting. Gong Yunyang was not Situ Xunxiao. There were many things that he should not take risks when he didn't know the intention. Nodding to Gongsun Zixing, Zong Zheng Xiao Ting walked out of the prison.
Following Gong Yunyang's departure, the two did not head towards Yu's study room. Instead, they followed Gong Yunyang's footsteps and came to the pavilion on the lotus pond not far away.
"Everyone, leave." Gong Yunyang waved his hand and told the servants, turning the pavilion into a private space for the two of them. Zong Zheng Xiaoting maintained his inner restlessness, with a smile on his face and indifference in his eyes.
"Princess, what do you think I should do?" She asked without any clue.
Zongzheng Xiaoting frowned, met Gong Yunyang's gaze fearlessly, and smiled, "Your Majesty, Xiaoting is really confused. Who can guess the emperor's wishes? And how can Xiaoting influence the emperor's decision?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting threw the question back as it was, pretending to be dumb, but Gong Yunyang smiled gently. "This is about Yunluo, and even more about my execution of Gongsun Zixing. Does the princess think so too?"
The expression of a smiling tiger was just that of Gong Yunyang. At this moment, he just smiled and said, "I heard that the princess threatened the King of War in front of the Queen Mother. I wonder if the princess would still act the same if the positions were reversed and it was me."
"What does the emperor mean?"
"Queen Mother, tell me that the princess once said that no one you care about will ever suffer any injustice under your nose?" Gong Yunyang asked exactly what Zong Zheng Xiaoting had said to Situ Xunxiao.
Hearing this, Zongzheng Xiaoting only raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not change his expression because of Gong Yunyang's words. There was no wave in his calm eyes. "Even if the emperor was here at the time, Xiaoting would still say the same thing."
"Princess, do you know what kind of existence Yunluo means to me?" Gong Yunyang did not comment, but asked back, his tone gradually becoming solemn.
"Since the emperor came to question Xiao Ting, he must know the relationship between Xiao Ting and Gongsun Zixing. And that day, Xiao Ting also told the prince that if Gongsun Zixing could not be saved, he would have some actions in the future and would have to become an enemy of the prince. I am not aware of this, right?" Zong Zheng Xiao Ting twisted his hair with a faint smile on his face. He did not say much, but only said quietly, "If it is to the emperor, I am afraid Xiao Ting will be so disrespectful. If Gongsun Zixing cannot be saved, it is better to die."
"My sister's death will not be in vain." Gong Yunyang stared at Zongzheng Xiaoting and said word by word.
"But even if he is not the murderer, the emperor may not let him go, right?" Zongzheng Xiaoting sneered, "Is the emperor's hostility towards Gongsun Zixing because he is rich enough to rival the country, or is it because of something else?"
Accustomed to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's outspoken wisdom, Gong Yunyang did not hide anything at this moment, "Your current identity is Princess Zhan."
"Si Tu Xun Xiao couldn't do anything to me. Your Majesty, do you think Xiao Ting would care about this so-called worldly perspective?" Zong Zheng Xiao Ting shook his head and laughed, looking at Gong Yunyang with a resolute and fearless gaze. "Moreover, if there were no doubts, Xiao Ting believes that neither the prince nor the emperor would be able to keep his composure."
"But no matter what the outcome is, I don't intend to keep him alive. I believe that Situ Xunxiao would not mind the life or death of Gongsun Zixing. In fact, his thoughts should be the same as mine."
"And the most important thing is that the emperor believes that Luozha Kingdom will not mind for the sake of a useless rich businessman. And my grandfather, who witnessed Xiaoting's willfulness in Yunguang Kingdom, will be even more intolerant of Gongsun Zixing, right?" Zongzheng Xiaoting disagreed, and slowly walked to the edge of the guardrail, looking at the green all around, his tone remained the same.
"I did plan this." Gong Yunyang did not deny his purpose. He walked to the side of Zongzheng Xiaoting and said in a hoarse voice, "I do like you, so I will not allow the person you like to live in this world, even if he is innocent."
"Regardless of worldly opinions, the emperor still says he likes me. I wonder how much of his sincerity is there and how much of his lies is false?" Zongzheng Xiaoting did not look at Gong Yunyang, but just narrated calmly, "However, whether the emperor's love is sincere or false, it is enough for Xiaoting to use it to win over me."
Want it? Gong Yunyang frowned, but heard a low laugh again.
