After a good night's dream, when Zong Zheng Xiaoting opened his eyes again, his brows suddenly frowned.

Something seemed wrong. Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked and tilted his head slightly. What came into view was a broad chest. The memory of last night suddenly replayed itself.

The unconscious blush on her face showed that Zong Zheng Xiaoting was uncomfortable at the moment. She shrank her body, got out of bed, and walked quickly to the dressing table, tidying up her clothes and the unrest in her heart. However, what she didn't realize was that as soon as she got out of bed, Situ Xunxiao had already opened his eyes, looked at Cang Huang's escaping figure, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Just as the two of them were immersed in their own little thoughts, a voice came from outside the door. "Prince."

"What is it?"

"I have brought here what the prince instructed yesterday." After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Situ Xunxiao sat up and met Zongzheng Xiaoting's suspicious look, with a smile of joy on his lips.

Situ Xunxiao casually put on a coat and walked out of the door. He opened his coat a little and stretched out his hand to Qin Xiao. Quickly, he picked up a heavy object casually in his hand and said, "Guard the door."

"yes!"

With a thud, the door closed again.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao's shy smile, and his face couldn't help but become a little ugly. He glared at Situ Xunxiao and didn't look at him. This guy was obviously deliberately causing misunderstanding. Everyone knew that they had slept in separate places since their marriage. Although they were husband and wife in name, they were not husband and wife in reality. And today, Qin Xiao was outside. Judging from Situ Xunxiao's behavior just now, it might have been okay if he didn't allow the coat to be worn, but this time he allowed the coat and wrapped it tightly, which was obviously intentional to cause misunderstanding.

"Take a look." Situ Xunxiao pretended to be ignorant and handed the thing in his hand to Zongzheng Xiaoting. Zongzheng Xiaoting took the heavy block suspiciously and blinked in confusion.

"Check quickly to see if it's what you want. If not, I'll let Qin Xiao return it." Situ Xunxiao said calmly, but Zongzheng Xiaoting was stunned after opening the large piece of cloth.

What came into view was an exquisite and luxurious box, and the shape of this box was something she had seen in Luozha Country. Zong Zheng Xiaoting swallowed his saliva. Jade seal? Looking at Situ Xunxiao suspiciously, Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly lowered his head and opened the box. What came into view was indeed the jade seal!

A familiar attraction came faintly, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting widened his eyes. He touched the jade seal, but he could not see the appearance of the Jade Haze Stone. The jade seal of the Yunguang Kingdom was not what he was looking for.

only……

Thinking of what Situ Xunxiao had just said, Zongzheng Xiaoting couldn't help but laugh, "You said, if it's not what I want, should I return it?"

"Yeah." Situ Xunxiao replied indifferently, his hand went around Zongzheng Xiaoting, picked up the ebony comb on the dressing table, lifted her hair, and combed it very gently.

"Tell me, what should I do if I want this jade seal?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting felt a little uncomfortable with Situ Xunxiao's gentle movements. However, when she looked at Situ Xunxiao's handsome face reflected in the bronze mirror, the seriousness highlighted in his cold expression made her heart suddenly warm.

Hearing the coquettish tone in the words, Situ Xunxiao was in a good mood. He suddenly stopped the hand that was combing her hair and said, "Then keep it privately."

"Do you think it's just a random person who disappears casually and no one will care?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned.

"Every night, this jade seal is most likely in Prince Zhan's mansion. I am confident of this." Situ Xunxiao looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting's frown and slid his fingertips across her face to smooth out the wrinkles.

"Why?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting blurted out, but then changed his words, "Forget it, knowing is not necessarily a good thing."

"We are husband and wife. I have never kept anything from you." Situ Xunxiao's voice lowered a little. "Not before, let alone now."

Although the voice was very soft and low, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could still hear it. A smile spread across his lips, "You didn't hold the jade seal the day before you went to Luozha Country, and didn't take a bath for dozens of days, did you?"

Hearing Zongzheng Xiaoting's words of disdain, Situ Xunxiao laughed softly, "Does this really need to be what I want?"

Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting's suspicious eyes, Situ Xunxiao tied her hair up by herself and whispered, "If it weren't for my father's request, there would be no Gong Yunyang incident. This Yunguang Kingdom was originally Situ's world. It's just that there are too many doubts, which made me examine the jade seal at night, trying to find out the mystery of the jade seal before my father died."

"The mystery of the Jade Seal?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned.

"Yes, before my father died, his last words were intermittent. I only know that he kept talking about the jade seal at night." When talking about the past, Situ Xunxiao's face was full of loneliness and unwillingness.

"So, you took the jade seal at night just to solve the mystery?"

"It's a pity that there has been no harvest in these years."

"Situ Xunxiao, are you suspicious of something?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao's face in the bronze mirror, and followed his heart to hold the hand that was combing his hair. Because Zong Zheng Xiaoting pulled down Situ Xunxiao's hand and held it instead, all the results of Situ Xunxiao's busy work turned into nothing, and the hair scattered on his shoulders was draped softly.

"Unless there is certainty, I don't want to doubt anything." Situ Xunxiao smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head, "You don't want to doubt it because you are worried that the Queen Mother is involved, right? In fact, when you went to Luozha Country, the journey was long, but I could feel the breath of the Jade Haze Stone outside the bedroom. I'm afraid it was because you touched the jade seal. With your prudence, you would never tire a bunch of people to death just to study the jade seal at night when you were on a diplomatic mission to Luozha Country, right?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his eyes, "What you are worried about is exactly why you provoked Gong Yunyang."

"After my father abdicated, there was peace for decades. However, after Gong Yunyang was appointed crown prince, troubles began to arise one after another. This was all too much of a coincidence." Situ Xunxiao did not hide his doubts and poured out all of them.

"Or maybe, the person you should investigate most is the Queen Mother, not Gong Yunyang." Zong Zheng Xiaoting expressed his doubts, looking at Situ Xunxiao with a frank look.

"For the sake of power, she won't do that." Situ Xunxiao frowned. He had doubts about Zongzheng Xiaoting's words, but he couldn't imagine why the Queen Mother would do such a thing to hurt others and not benefit herself. However, looking at the smile on Zongzheng Xiaoting's face, his heart was also a little blocked. "Or, I should look for this clue again."

"Situ Xunxiao, aren't you worried that I want the Queen Mother to die?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly.
