Zong Zheng Xiaoting pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes somewhat cold.

"As for Ningshuang, she did too many things today. However, the confusion and vigilance in my heart did not arise today." Fiddling with the necklace around his waist, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes became much colder.

"Princess, have you had suspicions for a long time?" Qingqing exclaimed, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Haha, why didn't you notice it, right?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting laughed.

Xiaohong and Qingqing nodded one after another, quietly waiting for the master's next words, but saw the master sigh helplessly, "Hey, this is why I want you to be calm."

Calm? Xiaohong tilted her head and thought carefully. Gradually, the confusion in her eyes turned into clarity. "Princess, are you saying that we were not able to discover many abnormalities in time because we were too calm? And if we continue like this, sooner or later we will be taken advantage of or targeted because of our carelessness?"

"Have you figured it out?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised the corner of his lips.

"Yes!" Xiaohong nodded. "Ever since the princess escaped from her marriage, she has been in a state of panic. Everyone has been paying attention to the cold war between the princess and the prince, and Miss Bichi and the other two have gradually become more and more like the masters. In addition, Princess Yunfei's matter has really made us unsure of what is going on."

"The more things happen, the more blinded people become." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded. "When I came back, do you still remember what Ning Shuang said in front of the Zhan Palace?"

"Princess, are you saying that the princess is not only the princess of Luoshan Kingdom, but also the princess consort of Prince Zhan's Mansion?" Qingqing asked. At this moment, her suspicion about Ningshuang's behavior made her start to recall what abnormal behavior of Ningshuang had when the princess returned to the mansion.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded slightly, "Before I ran away from my marriage, you all knew what my instructions and orders were."

Zongzheng Xiaoting's words made Qingqing and Xiaohong purse their lips. Yes, at that time, the princess meant that no matter what happened on the wedding day, no matter what the prince did later, everything would remain unchanged before she approved it. And that day, even if the situation was urgent, she and Qingqing had never thought of defending the princess in that way. More importantly, the words spoken in that way were not good for the princess!

Qingqing and Xiaohong looked at each other. Ri Ningshuang's words were not spoken carelessly or out of carelessness. Words like that would only make people think that the princess' behavior was inappropriate, as she had secretly married someone. And whether this person was a prince or not was not the most important thing. In the eyes of others, the princess' image would be damaged.

And they were not alert to such a small matter. If Qingqing had not run into Ningshuang going to the study today, it is really unknown when they would have discovered it in this confusion.

"In fact, the Emperor's letter to me was just to let me know that I had miscalculated by threatening him with Situ Xunxiao. On the surface, he wanted me to surrender, but in fact, he wanted to tell me that in order to get rid of Gongsun Zixing, Situ Xunxiao would rather marry a murder suspect, and he would do anything to achieve his goal. In this way, there will only be more and more suspicion and doubt between me and the prince, and Ningshuang has other intentions, which made me lose my mind in anger." Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled, "It's a pity that I rarely act irrationally."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes narrowed slightly. She had been working in the business world, and her opponents' schemes were endless. One trap after another, whether for the purpose of annexation or to suppress the opponent, had made her not be startled by them. This made her calmer in the face of these endless conspiracies and tricks.

"Princess, did you do this on purpose?" Qingqing's eyes widened.

"If you are not so introverted that you cannot read other people's expressions, I would not need to hide it from you. No, to be more precise, you are not calm enough. If you were calm, you would naturally discover my thoughts." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said with a long sigh, "Nowadays, I am afraid that many people in power are confused."

While Qingqing and Xiaohong were listening to their master's teachings, Ningshuang was also thinking about how to proceed. She held the letter in her hand, pretending to be unwell, and leaned against the pillar of the corridor, waiting for Situ Xunxiao to appear.

She knew very well that according to the prince's usual habit, he would definitely pass by here and go to the study at this time. Sure enough, after she pretended for a long time, Situ Xunxiao's figure also appeared at the corner. Covering the smile on the corner of her mouth, Ningshuang pretended to be in a hurry, lowered her head and hurried past. Just in time, she bumped into Situ Xunxiao who was turning, and the letter in her hand fell at Situ Xunxiao's feet.

"I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" Ningshuang knelt on the ground in panic, her eyes full of worry. She stared at the letter at Situ Xunxiao's feet with a look of fear on her face.

Seeing Ningshuang's strange look, Situ Xunxiao followed her gaze and looked down. The more Situ Xunxiao looked at the expression on Ningshuang's face, the more he nodded to Qin Xiao who was standing beside him.

At Situ Xunxiao's signal, Qin Xiao bent down, picked up the paper on the ground, and handed it to Situ Xunxiao respectfully, while Ningshuang's face turned pale.

The words reflected in his eyes made Situ Xunxiao purse his lips tightly. On his frosty face, there was no change in his expression. He just glanced at Ningshuang and said coldly, "What is this?"

"Yes... the princess asked me to throw it away." Ningshuang looked frightened and her words were trembling.

"Go down." Situ Xunxiao didn't say anything, but just held the letter in his hand. Ningshuang looked at him, kneeling there, not daring to get up.

"Anything else?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, this letter..." Ningshuang looked hesitant as she looked at the letter in his hand, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Go to Yunxiao Courtyard." Situ Xunxiao didn't even look at her, but just said to Qin Xiao, and then walked past Ningshuang and left. Ningshuang knelt on the spot, with a slight smile of joy on her lips. Although the prince didn't say anything, any man would have a grudge when the princess had someone else in her heart and threatened him. If he still had dealings with his mortal enemy at this time, she didn't believe that he could still give and endure as usual.

The hands hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly.

As the sun was setting, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was lying lazily in the courtyard, half-squinting his eyes and looking at the red clouds, but suddenly, his view was blocked by someone coming.

"The princess seems to be in a good mood." The sound of gnashing teeth came from above his head.
