"Whether it is the princess or the queen mother, no mistakes can be made." Gong Yunyang's words suddenly echoed in the study.

This is more or less true. Zong Zheng Xiaoting muttered inwardly, although he also understood that Gong Yunyang was just trying to ease the atmosphere, but at least it made people feel more comfortable.

Knowing that Gong Yunyang would have other things to say next, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was in no hurry to speak. He lowered his head and adjusted the corners of his clothes, saying nothing more and not expressing his opinion.

"I think the matter of Yun Fei has been solved, and it is time to release Gongsun Zixing." After Gong Yunyang's words came out, Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly raised his head.

Damn it, this Gong Yunyang was clearly threatening me. What did he mean by finding a time to release him? It was clearly a warning to me that if I didn't cooperate, I would continue to detain Gongsun Zixing!

She stared at Gong Yunyang with an unhappy look. Anyway, at this moment, if she smiled, Gong Yunyang would just think that she was pretending. Since he already knew that she would be very unhappy after he said this, there was no need for her to pretend that she didn't care.

"Your Majesty, this must be a slip of the tongue." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked frightened and asked Situ Xunxiao, "I didn't hear it, did I? Find a time to release him? For a wise and powerful person like the emperor, a wise king, it must be a slip of the tongue. It is said that what the emperor hates most is unfair things that disrupt the official style, right?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked Situ Xunxiao this question, and he just raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Zong Zheng Xiaoting, and then turned to Gong Yunyang and nodded slightly, "Of course, even if the emperor forgot something for a moment and forgot that there was something wrong, the king and several important ministers would naturally remind the emperor."

Situ Xunxiao emphasized the word "remind" and a silent contest unfolded in the study. Gong Yunyang and Situ Xunxiao looked at each other, one with a gentle smile on his face, while the other had a cold and stern face, emitting a chill.

"What does the emperor say?" Casting a provocative look at Gong Yunyang, Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled brightly.

"The princess is indeed optimistic." Gong Yunyang did not comment, with a smile flashing in his eyes, "Someone, go and release Gongsun Zixing."

"Wait." Zongzheng Xiaoting interrupted Gong Yunyang and bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty, Gongsun Zixing is Xiaoting's best friend. Xiaoting wants to pick him up in person. Moreover, to cure the poison, I'm afraid I have to go to Tianxi Country. I'm afraid I don't know when and where we will meet again. Moreover, if the poison breaks out suddenly, perhaps we won't be able to meet again. It's not easy to have a close friend in life."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting said it tactfully, giving Gong Yunyang the illusion that what she cared about from the beginning to the end was Gongsun Zixing. Even if she might face an accident, she couldn't let go.

However, the Queen Mother only remembered those words: Go to Tianxi Kingdom to detoxify!

"If that's the case, Princess, please leave as soon as possible." The Queen Mother took the initiative and spoke first. Her words also put an end to Gong Yunyang's other plans. Gong Yunyang's expression did not change in response to the Queen Mother's move, but Zong Zheng Xiaoting clearly saw a fleeting expression on Gong Yunyang's face. He saw his upper lip raised, his eyebrows drooped, and his narrowed eyes showed the anger in his heart at the moment.

It seems that Gong Yunyang doesn't want to leave so quickly without planning anything. However, since I have borrowed the help from the Queen Mother, what should I do? Will I just quietly wait for Gong Yunyang's reaction?

Before Gong Yunyang opened his mouth, Zongzheng Xiaoting could not help but nod his head, "The Queen Mother is right. Even if the Emperor does not summon me, the Prince is planning to enter the palace. Today, Doctor Chen told me that Ghost Doctor's junior fellow apprentice is in Tianxi Country. This person is best at exorcising snakes! However, this person has a quirk and is unwilling to leave Tianxi Country. Therefore, Xiaoting and the Prince are planning to take Doctor Chen to look for him. What do you think, Queen Mother, is the right time to set off?"

Gong Yunyang was about to speak after hearing what Zong Zheng Xiaoting said, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother again. "This is related to the princess's safety, and also to me. The sooner the better. After all, as the princess said, you don't know when the poison will take effect, so you'd better be careful. Your Majesty, please make arrangements as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother's words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting's smile deepen. What the Queen Mother said was to make arrangements quickly, not to do whatever she wanted. In other words, if the Queen Mother and Gong Yunyang always acted in unison, then at this moment, Gong Yunyang would either continue to keep the two of them in unison, or make an exception, which would go against the Queen Mother's intention.

It may not seem like a big deal, but there are profound changes behind it. For those who are used to the empress dowager and the emperor being on the same page, it will be an opportunity. If the empress dowager and the emperor are at odds or have conflicts, then there will be others who will be eager to sow discord between them.

In this palace, even biological mother and son, or siblings, cannot withstand the instigation of rumors and gossips and become estranged from each other, let alone those who have no blood relationship.

"King Zhan is going too?" Gong Yunyang raised his eyebrows.

"I am worried about the princess being alone." Situ Xunxiao shrugged. "Besides, everyone knows how important the princess is to me. If the princess is held hostage by someone, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for our Yunguang Kingdom."

While the two were talking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting also noticed Gong Yunyang's expression, and was somewhat curious about his tolerance for the Queen Mother. Even if Gong Yunyang was trying to maintain his filial piety, he would not let the Queen Mother have the final say. Moreover, according to the current situation, the Queen Mother should be dependent on Gong Yunyang, not Gong Yunyang who is afraid of the Queen Mother. The relationship between the two is so strange that it is puzzling.

As Situ Xunxiao and Gong Yunyang stared at each other in silence, the Queen Mother finally interrupted the silence. "What the King of Zhan said makes sense, Your Majesty, make arrangements early."

Reluctantly, under the intervention of the Queen Mother, Gong Yunyang waved his hand impatiently, "I will send the Prince of War to the Kingdom of Tianxi and deliver the documents to the Kingdom of Tianxi. Prince of War, please leave tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and thanked him, then said anxiously, "Since time is tight, Xiaoting will take his leave first. Xiaoting still has to go to the Heavenly Prison, so please ask Your Majesty to send the eunuch to accompany me."

Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting's eagerness, Gong Yunyang and Situ Xunxiao couldn't help but frown.

Under Gong Yunyang's arrangement, Zong Zheng Xiaoting also picked up Gongsun Zixing from the Tianlao and left. However, just as the two walked out of the palace, they met Gongsun Ziyun who had been waiting for a long time. Behind him, they saw several old men with serious faces. They couldn't help but say anything to each other, and Gongsun Zixing was hurriedly taken away.

Looking at the carriages and horses going away, Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned. There were so many strange things happening today.

When Situ Xunxiao walked out of the palace gate, he saw Zongzheng Xiaoting frowning. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Zongzheng Xiaoting shook his head. "Situ Xunxiao, is it really safe for you and I to go to Tianxi Country?"

"Don't worry, we'll set off tomorrow. Nangong Muxi is almost done now, and should have received the secret letter." When Situ Xunxiao mentioned this, Zongzheng Xiaoting exclaimed in surprise, "Where's Xiaoyin?"
