Chapter 269: Collapse of Trust



Situ Xunxiao's words surprised everyone present. In the prince's heart, he actually looked at Princess Yunfei like this? However, thinking about everything she had done, it was indeed not what a normal person should feel.

Thinking about it again, what she was planning this time was indeed something no one could have imagined. Therefore, the prince wanted Meiyin to stay in the mansion. On the one hand, it was to give Meiyin an excuse to paralyze Gong Yunyang, and on the other hand, it was also to seize the opportunity to find out who was Gong Yunfei's hidden chess piece. Unexpectedly, it was really impressive.

Meiyin looked at Situ Xunxiao and laughed softly, "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that the person who can guess Princess Yunfei's intention is probably the pot calling the kettle black. It seems that Lin Yin is not an easy person to deal with. No wonder we can't figure it out. No one would have thought that she would deliberately create doubts like this."

"You have to be cautious with people like this." Situ Xunxiao just nodded slightly, looked at Meiyin and said, "I don't want you to lose your life because of carelessness. After all, although the opponent's martial arts are not as good as yours, Gong Yunfei is very good at using poison, not to mention that he is absolutely ruthless and merciless."

Just as the four were still listening to Situ Xunxiao's assignments and were about to leave, Zongzheng Xiaoting angrily yelled outside the study, "Situ Xunxiao, get out of here!"

The roar made the servants who passed by the study room quickly leave with their heads down like frightened birds. You know, the princess now doesn't take the prince seriously, and she is always threatening or angry. The prince is reluctant to scold the princess, but those who know too much can be attacked by the prince at any time.

The door of the study opened with a sound, and what came into view was the same cold face that had not changed for a thousand years. On his handsome face, he said paralyzedly, "What's wrong?"

The gentle words "what's the matter" sounded like impatience towards herself to Zong Zheng Xiao Ting. "Why, do you think I am annoying you?"

"Zongzheng Xiaoting!" Situ Xunxiao frowned, "Be aware of your identity."

"Identity?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting sneered, "Your Highness, do you think that I care about my identity? I don't care about my identity, so what can a mere identity as the Princess of Zhan do to me?"

"Woman, don't try to challenge my patience." Situ Xunxiao quickly approached Zongzheng Xiaoting and grabbed her wrist, with a look of intolerance gradually appearing on his face.

However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, whose wrist was held and hurt, did not soften. She chuckled a few times and then retorted, "You male chauvinist, will you only send someone to assassinate Gongsun Zixing to maintain your status and position?"

As she finished speaking, Situ Xunxiao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shaking off Situ Xunxiao's hand, Zongzheng Xiaoting rubbed his aching wrist, and said with disdain, "Why? Your Highness dared to do it, but dared not admit it? This princess thought that what you said and did in the prison today was indeed open and aboveboard. When this princess heard that you went to the prison, she rushed there in a hurry. She really did not trust you, and she regretted the hurtful words she said to you. Now it seems ridiculous. You put on a show for this princess, and then secretly killed him by sending someone to your prison. The move was so cruel that if this princess had not sent someone to protect you secretly, how could she know that you, a dignified war king, known as the god of war, would be so dirty!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting was so angry that she handed Wei Zixin to her. When she was trying to stop the assassination, the arrow with the logo of Prince Zhan's Mansion dropped by the assassin was thrown at Situ Xunxiao.

"Are you talking about Gongsun Zixing again?" Situ Xunxiao gritted his teeth and said, "Zongzheng Xiaoting, will there always be a damned person like this between you and me?"

"You are the one who deserves to die. Even if you die, he will not die!" At this moment, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was like an unreasonable woman, venting her anger on Situ Xunxiao, which made Situ Xunxiao also angry.

Situ Xunxiao, who was upset, coldly pinched Zongzheng Xiaoting's chin and said word by word with gritted teeth, "I want Gongsun Zixing to die, what can you do? You can save him temporarily, but not forever. I never need to be taught what to do and no one can stop me. Zongzheng Xiaoting, don't think that I will tolerate you without any bottom line just because I like you."

Slapping the hand that was pinching her chin, Zong Zheng Xiaoting roared, "I don't care about your love like this. I'm warning you, if you push me into a corner, I can do anything. I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned around and left angrily, while Situ Xunxiao, who stayed behind, was also furious.

In the palace, Gong Yunyang was sitting in the study, reviewing the memorials in a good mood, waiting for the report from the spy. Just when he was halfway through reviewing the memorials, the spy lurking in the Zhan Prince's mansion also sent a message.

"emperor!"

"Get up." The emperor looked at General Hu, who was dressed as a secret guard, and waved his hand. "What's the news from Prince Zhan's mansion?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, it turned out just as you expected. Just now, my subordinate was taken to the Heavenly Prison and deliberately pretended to be someone from Prince Zhan's Mansion to assassinate. As expected, he succeeded in framing the enemy. According to the spy from Prince Zhan's Mansion, Princess Xiaoting just had a big quarrel with Prince Zhan in anger, and Prince Zhan was still arrogant and didn't like to explain. When he heard that the princess misunderstood him, he said the opposite and said that the princess could save Gongsun Zixing for the time being. Now, the princess will not believe Prince Zhan anymore." General Hu reported to the emperor concisely.

Gong Yunyang smiled brighter after hearing this, "Well done."

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Hu Dutong also said, "But Your Majesty, I am a little worried."

"What are you worried about? Please tell me, my dear."

"Today in the Heavenly Prison, I fought with the generals sent by Princess Xiaoting to protect Gongsun Zixing." General Hu looked a little ugly and solemn, and said to the emperor, "The generals under Princess Xiaoting are indeed very skilled in martial arts. If it weren't for some secret arrangements, I'm afraid I would have been captured by Wei Zixin today. Moreover, I heard that Wei Zixin's martial arts are not as good as Yuan Xian's. In other words, if one day Princess Xiaoting has the idea of ​​being hostile to the emperor, I'm afraid the army she brings will also become a threat to restrain the emperor."

Seeing that General Hu sounded worried, Gong Yunyang also put away the smile on his face, "So what I have to do is to first dismantle the trust between Situ Xunxiao and Zongzheng Xiaoting."
