On this day, Situ Xunxiao was abandoned by Nangong Muchi and was thrown next to a rockery pavilion, where he practiced how to smile by himself.

At this moment, Zong Zheng Yunchun was also waiting quietly in the pavilion in the garden opposite the rockery with her maid. However, not long after she sat down, she heard the maid beside her mumbling excitedly.

"That guy is so handsome."

"Is he smiling at you?"

"Where? Are you facing me?"

"That's obviously wrong. He's heading in my direction, right?"

The maids were talking to each other, and although their voices were not loud, they were heard by Zong Zheng Yunchun. "How dare you! What are you making such a fuss about?"

Zong Zheng Yunchun frowned and glanced at the maid, showing nothing but displeasure.

"Princess, please forgive me."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Zongzheng Yunchun was angry.

"In reply to the Crown Princess, there is a man over there, smiling at us very affectionately. We... Crown Princess, please forgive us."

Man? Zong Zheng Yunchun followed the direction of the maid's gaze and saw Situ Xunxiao smiling at him affectionately. She was used to his coldness and had no idea that such a smile could touch her heart so much.

Is that the cold-blooded War Lord? Zong Zheng Yunchun couldn't help but shudder in her heart. This kind of man is completely different from Zhuge Feiyang. Even if there are many rumors about him, if she had to choose, she would rather choose him! If Zong Zheng Xiaoting hadn't been playing tricks, the position of Princess Zhan should have belonged to her, Zong Zheng Yunchun.

Looking at Situ Xunxiao infatuatedly, Zong Zheng Yunchun forgot her identity as the Crown Princess for a moment, and acted in an inappropriate and infatuated way. When she came to her senses, she sternly glanced at everyone present, and her tone was full of ferocity, "If even the slightest news of what happened today leaks out, you should know what happened to Concubine Li."

"Yes!" When Concubine Li was mentioned, everyone's face was filled with fear.

With his eyes lowered, Zong Zheng Yunchun kept calming his inner trembling. He looked up from time to time, only to see Situ Xunxiao smiling so affectionately. When he followed his gaze, he felt that he was looking at him.

Not long after, Situ Xunxiao had left the rockery, but Zongzheng Xiaoting had not arrived yet. Zongzheng Yunchun was still a little sober. According to Situ Xunxiao's character, he would not be like this. Also because of doubt, Zongzheng Yunchun stood up decisively, left a group of maids behind, and went straight to the direction where Situ Xunxiao had just been.

When Zong Zheng Yunchun stood at the place where Situ Xunxiao had just been, he also followed suit and looked in the direction Situ Xunxiao had just been looking at. He saw that the rockery pavilion just blocked his figure. Looking at it this way, he would feel that the person opposite him who was spying on him was just illusory and could not see him. Zong Zheng Yunchun could not help but feel happy. If this was the case, it was no wonder. Was it because of the difference in perspective that Situ Xunxiao was fearless and acted like this?

With a happy smile on her face, Zong Zheng Yunchun gradually became sentimental because of her obsession with Situ Xunxiao. Thinking about the things that happened at the banquet in Luozha Country, she couldn't help wondering if Situ Xunxiao fell in love with her at first sight. As for his deep affection for Zong Zheng Xiaoting, she automatically filtered it out and thought it was normal for men to be sentimental, not to mention a war god like Situ Xunxiao.

But then, he frowned again.

If Situ Xunxiao has feelings for me, should I change my strategy? Should I stop Zhuge Feiyang's plan? While I was getting irritated, I saw Zongzheng Xiaoting, accompanied by a maid, slowly walking to the pavilion.

When Zong Zheng Yunchun saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting walking to the pavilion, he had to put his thoughts aside and head towards the pavilion. Along the way, he walked with heavy steps, as if he was thinking.

She and Zong Zheng Xiaoting, one must stay. If Zong Zheng Xiaoting doesn't die, if Situ Xunxiao can't be as easy to control as Zhuge Feiyang, then, what she wants is only power. As she walked, Zong Zheng Yunchun gradually understood that she still had time to test Zhuge Feiyang before he made the final move. After figuring it out, Zong Zheng Yunchun no longer had any entanglements. A smile appeared on her face, and she put on the mask of being well-behaved and innocent in front of others again, flawlessly.

"Royal sister." This time, Zong Zheng Yunchun did not dare to use his status to pressure others. He could only smile and nodded to Zong Zheng Xiaoting. "I have been sick these days and have delayed coming to see you until now. Are you used to it?"

"Thank you for your concern, Crown Princess. These past few days have been fine, but I'm a little bored." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled, "The prince was so focused on discussing with the Regent that he delayed his trip to Luozha Country. I feel a little upset."

"Prince Zhan is so good to my sister. That's good for my sister. She can go back to see my father and the others. Unlike me, I'm afraid that I may never see them again in this lifetime." Zong Zheng Yunchun's tone sounded a little lonely.

"The prince's status is noble, so naturally, he can't travel casually." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "If the prince ascends the throne in the future, your glory will naturally benefit your own people. As the Buddhist saying goes, only by giving up can you gain. Why don't you let go of your heart, sister?"

Zong Zheng Yunchun smiled, but in his heart he was disdainful. If it weren't for Zong Zheng Xiaoting, why would he leave Luozha Country and his hometown? However, it was also thanks to her that he realized that if he didn't have power, he would only be beaten passively.

However, Zong Zheng Yunchun never reflected on her mistakes. If she had not taken the initiative to attack Zong Zheng Xiaoting, Zong Zheng Xiaoting would not have fought back against her.

"Sister, you are right. But I still feel bad in my heart." Zong Zheng Yunchun smiled bitterly. "I just heard from you that you will leave in a few days?"

"Yes." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled faintly, "After a trip to Luozha Country, it's time to go back to Yunguang Country. After all, the prince has a lot of official duties, so these days are just stolen."

"Ah." Zongzheng Yunchun sighed deeply, "I can't bear to leave just thinking about it. I really wish I could be with my sister every day and feel the warmth of family love."

When Zong Zheng Yunchun said this, her maid also said, "Why should the Crown Princess be sad? The Emperor and the Crown Prince have said that they sympathize with you and want you to spend more time with Princess Zhan these days. If you feel that you have too little time, you can ask Princess Zhan to stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion for a few days or stay in this villa to accompany Princess Zhan."

As soon as these words came out, a glimmer of doubt flashed in Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes.
