"My queen mother is worried because of her status as the Crown Princess. Even if I want her to enter the palace someday, her status cannot be changed. Then, it will cause criticism." Gong Yunyang stared at the figure who was reluctantly bidding farewell to Bai Yungang not far away and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Since the emperor understands, he should know what I am worried about." The empress dowager was worried and took Gong Yunyang's concern seriously.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was worried, Gong Yunyang nodded slightly, "My Queen Mother doesn't want to lose both sides, but there is a compromise. I don't know if my Queen Mother is willing to be so cruel."

"The Emperor already has a solution?" There was joy in the Empress Dowager's eyes.

"Does the Queen Mother know that the Tianxi Kingdom has sent a letter?" Gong Yunyang's mouth curled up, and a calculation suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"You mean the prince's secret letter?" The Queen Mother was puzzled. "What does this secret letter have to do with the emperor's next countermeasures?"

Gong Yunyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile gradually deepened on his lips. "If Situ Xunxiao died on the way to Tianxi Country, what would the Queen Mother think?"

"Emperor, are you going to use the Crown Prince of Tianxi Kingdom to get rid of him?" The Queen Mother frowned, looking unhappy. "It's good for Tianxi Kingdom to join hands to get rid of Situ Xunxiao, but Nangong Muxi is also a strong enemy. When the time comes, without Situ Xunxiao to fight against, how can we resist the wolfish ambitions of Tianxi Kingdom?"

"You don't need to worry about this, mother. I want to get rid of Situ Xunxiao because I want the power of Luozha. If Zongzheng Xiaoting and Situ Xunxiao go to Tianxi, if Situ Xunxiao gets hurt, wouldn't I have a better reason to annex Tianxi?" Gong Yunyang's eyes were filled with a hint of bloodthirsty excitement. "As long as someone protects Zongzheng Xiaoting, and I explain that the reason for the cooperation is for her, what do you think, mother? "

After hearing what Gong Yunyang said, the Queen Mother also thought silently. If the Crown Prince of Tianxi wanted to take the opportunity to contact the Emperor to remove the Regent Nangong Muchi, then Situ Xunxiao's visit this time must still have room for cooperation. For those who want to inherit the throne, removing Nangong Muchi is for the sake of future imperial power. With the heart of imperial power above all else, naturally, they will also regard Situ Xunxiao, the shield of Yunguang Kingdom, as the thorn in their eyes that they are most eager to remove. In other words, if he wants to use the Emperor's hand to remove the Regent, the Emperor can also use him to remove Situ Xunxiao, and by the way, get the support of Luozha Kingdom and capture Zongzheng Xiaoting?

"But my son, your idea is indeed good. However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, the identity of Princess Zhan is there, how are you going to turn it around?" The Queen Mother asked the last confusion in her heart.

"Her Majesty, have you forgotten what the clan traditions of my mother are?"

The Queen Mother widened her eyes, then smiled and nodded approvingly.

After Zong Zheng Xiaoting bid farewell to Bai Yungang, he returned to where the Queen Mother was. The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor, then sighed and said to Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "Princess Zhan, I have something to discuss with you."

"What the Queen Mother wants to say is what Princess Yunluo entrusted to me before her death, right?" With a faint smile, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes were full of understanding.

"Haha, since the princess already understands, I want to hear what the princess thinks?" The queen mother said with a fake smile, "However, as far as I know, the princess herself intends to take a concubine for the prince, so she will not be jealous."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just maintained a smile on his face, without any other movements or expressions that would reveal his thoughts. He understood very well what the Queen Mother said later. On the surface, he said that he was willing to take a concubine for Situ Xunxiao as a manifestation of magnanimity, but in fact, he was telling himself that since he had such thoughts, he should not try to stop Gong Yunfei from entering the mansion.

However, judging from the Queen Mother's expression, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was certain that Gong Yunyang had not told the Queen Mother about his suspicions about Gong Yunfei. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, interesting. However, the Queen Mother wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass her, which was really wrong.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and shook his head. "I want to take a concubine for the prince because I don't want other women who are not good or not good to spoil the prince's mind. I am also afraid that this will delay the state affairs. Therefore, I will personally select. After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. If I don't choose carefully, how can I avoid unnecessary troubles in the future? The queen mother said that Princess Yunluo should also mean this, right?"

Hearing Zongzheng Xiaoting's tone, the Queen Mother frowned slightly. "Yun Luo is indeed completely devoted to the War King."

"That's right." Zong Zheng Xiaoting echoed the Queen Mother's words, and the smile on her face became more brilliant. She tilted her head and looked at the Queen Mother with an innocent smile, "But I wonder if the Queen Mother knows whether Princess Yunfei treats the prince the same way as Princess Yunluo does?"

"I have asked Yunfei, and she is willing." The empress dowager frowned, vaguely feeling that Zong Zheng Xiaoting intended to give her an excuse to reject Gong Yunfei.

"Willing?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, looking embarrassed, "Yes, I am willing, but I don't like it."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned and looked at Ning Shuang, "Ning Shuang, if I want to give you to the prince as a concubine, this is an order, are you willing?"

"This..." Ning Shuang was panicked, her brows furrowed, "If, if this is what the princess wants, I will obey your order."

The master and servant worked in perfect harmony. Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the Queen Mother and Gong Yunyang and sighed helplessly, "The Queen Mother and the Emperor have also seen that willingness and obedience are the same. Princess Yunfei, as a princess, will naturally not humbly obey. However, I remember that when she saw Princess Yunluo's blood letter at the guest inn, she was very shocked and flustered. Queen Mother, does it look similar to Ningshuang's expression at this moment? I wonder if the noble concubine would feel a little bit emotional if she was awake? People who don't know might misunderstand the Queen Mother."

The empress dowager's face became increasingly ugly when she was questioned by Zong Zheng Xiaoting. This was what Zong Zheng Xiaoting wanted to counterattack. He used Ningshuang's helplessness in having to obey orders to tell himself that for the sake of Gong Yunluo's willingness to sacrifice Gong Yunfei, he, as the empress dowager, was too partial!

Gong Yunyang on the side looked at the smile on Zongzheng Xiaoting's face. She was obviously very shrewd, but she could always pretend to be innocent and easily beat back other people's calculations with a little effort. She said nothing, but secretly mocked her opponents. Even at this moment, in the Yunguang Kingdom where she could not do whatever she wanted, when she and Situ Xunxiao were already in a cold war stalemate and were attacked from all sides, she still did not soften the slightest. He actually understood that it was not only because she knew that the status of the Crown Princess could allow her to do whatever she wanted, but she was already like this even when she didn't know Zongzheng Weimo's decision.
