Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the expressions of the two and smiled.

"Princess, do you want to shock her and give her hope so that she won't have any accidents happen to you during this period?" Qingqing asked directly. Although she could guess most of the princess's thoughts, at this critical moment, she didn't want to make mistakes because of her guess.

"One is because the most urgent matter now is Gong Yunfei's matter, and the other is because I need time to investigate Ningshuang's background." Zong Zheng Xiaoting pursed her lips. She was a little worried about Ningshuang's untraceable identity. Moreover, she had been lurking around her aunt, which was definitely a problem. No matter what, she, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, would not keep someone who could endanger her relatives around her.

"Investigate her background?" Qingqing frowned. "Wasn't there anything unusual about her before?"

"So, we need grandpa's help." Zong Zheng Xiaoting paused. "Before, we conducted the investigation in the harem. No one knows how true the news is. However, if it involves some relatively large forces, it must be concealed in the palace. There is still a certain ability. Grandpa will not allow anything that may endanger the Bai Mansion to happen."

"Does the princess need to meet the prime minister?"

"No need." Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his hand and denied Qingqing's idea. "At this time, it is safest for Grandfather to know nothing. The matter of Gong Yunfei is imminent. I will not give her any chance to enter the War Palace."

"Princess, what are your plans?" Xiaohong saw that Zongzheng Xiaoting had made a decision, so she asked.

"Then I'll have to borrow Qingqing and Yuanxian." Zongzheng Xiaoting blinked, looked at Qingqing and smiled, "I'm sending my grandfather away. Not only Ningshuang will be concerned, but Gong Yunyang will probably be even more concerned. He won't say anything, that's for sure. But how to pass on the message is up to you."

"Depend on us?" Qingqing pointed at herself, puzzled.

"Yuan Xian is from a prominent family after all. Since I have arranged a marriage for him, he should go home to meet his parents and bring his wife to pay homage to his ancestors. What do you think, is this normal?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked at Xiaohong.

"Yes, Princess, you are right. What's more, this is what General Yuan wants more than anything else." Xiaohong looked at Qingqing with a teasing look on her face. Ever since the princess's marriage order came down, Qingqing and General Yuan were about to take a step further. However, Qingqing had a hot temper and General Yuan liked to argue with her, so the two of them were like enemies who could not tolerate each other. They would quarrel whenever they met.

However, as far as we can see now, the relationship is heating up very quickly.

"Princess!" Qingqing stamped her feet anxiously.

"Is what I said wrong?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled. "If I still don't understand your current concerns, then wouldn't I be so heartless that I would let others bully me without knowing it? Before, you were worried that I would look for the jade alone. Now, the prince has promised to accompany you. Do you think I will give you an excuse to delay?"

After these words were spoken, the two calm people could no longer remain calm, and their excitement could not be concealed in their tone. They said at the same time, "Princess and Prince..."

As Zong Zheng Xiaoting put his index finger on his lips, the two of them were surprised. When the prince left just now, it was clear that they parted on bad terms.

After swallowing their saliva, the two lowered their voices and asked, "The princess and the prince, are they really reconciled?"

"Yeah." Zong Zheng Xiaoting was not shy about his feelings and nodded openly, "So, now you should focus on getting rid of those who are secretly working against us, right?"

"Qingqing understands!"

"Xiaohong understands!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting laughed softly, "Now that you understand, then Qingqing, you naturally understand the matter of marriage. How to force marriage?"

Forced marriage?

Qingqing's eyes widened. Wasn't the princess asking her to talk about the marriage? Wasn't it arranged by the princess? Was she going to take the initiative?

Looking at Qingqing's expression, Zongzheng Xiaoting blinked and said, "I am tired today, so naturally you should go and talk to her."

Xiaohong suppressed her smile, held Zongzheng Xiaoting's hand, turned around and walked into the inner room, leaving Qingqing with a troubled face.

The next morning, Zong Zheng Xiaoting arrived at the post station early in the morning, accompanied by Qingqing and others. Bai Yungang looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was coming, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Grandfather, I wonder when we will meet again."

"Princess, I am also sad, but if the King of Zhan goes on a diplomatic mission to Luozha, we will definitely be able to see each other again." Bai Yungang said with tears in his eyes, "If the princess misses her relatives, you can write to us or send someone to visit us."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, but Bai Yungang continued, "Also, please rest assured, both Luozha Kingdom and Bai Mansion will unconditionally support you."

"Okay!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, and the grandfather and grandson said goodbye reluctantly. Gong Yunyang and the empress dowager, who were seeing them off, also looked at each other.

They understood that although Zong Zheng Xiaoting and Bai Yungang didn't say anything, there were many hidden meanings. On the surface, it sounded like a farewell, but if you listen carefully, you can hear that Bai Yungang's words were meant for them to understand that even if the princess married far away and became a princess, Luozha Kingdom would still support her as always.

Of course, they didn't know the inside story. After they learned about the Crown Princess, they naturally understood that Bai Yungang didn't need to say anything more to Zong Zheng Xiaoting. He only needed to give a little hint to remind Zong Zheng Xiaoting of his responsibility regarding the Crown Princess.

Gong Yunyang lowered his voice and whispered to the Queen Mother, "I wonder how your mother got through asking General Mu Zesong?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Mu Zesong who left with Bai Yungang, and raised her lips, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this. I asked Mu Zesong when he was traveling with Your Majesty that day, and he also followed my instructions to spy on Bai Yungang. Protecting Zong Zheng Xiaoting is the top priority. Although we cannot know about this matter of the Crown Princess, for a princess who married far away in another country to be so cared for by the Emperor and valued by Bai Yungang, it is definitely not as simple as simple love."

“Now, we can only wait for her to be dissatisfied with Situ Xunxiao before we can take action.” Gong Yunyang pursed his lips. He was obviously unhappy with Situ Xunxiao's reaction on the spot after Zong Zheng Xiaoting escaped from the marriage that day, but he could only accept it.

"But Your Majesty, she is already Princess Zhan. If she enters the palace one day..." the Queen Mother asked hesitantly.
