Zongzheng Qiqi just frowned, somewhat puzzled, but she also saw worry in Zongzheng Xiaoting's eyes. Was she familiar with Gongsun Zixing?

She sighed helplessly. She and her elder brother only knew the ending but not the details. As for the wealthy businessman Gongsun Zixing, according to the history they knew, it was inevitable that the supply of several countries would be cut off. She didn't know why, not to mention that history might also have some changes.

only……

Zong Zheng Xiaoting would ask, does this mean that she has some guesses of her own?

In silence, Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled softly, "Forget it, no one knows what will happen now, right? But why does this Jade Haze Stone move so frequently?"

"I have been searching for it all these years, but I haven't found it." Zong Zheng Qiqi shook his head, and the room fell silent again.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just glanced at Situ Xunxiao, lowered her head, and walked out with lotus steps. Looking at her back, Situ Xunxiao's eyes darkened slightly, and then he followed her out.

The midday sun is not glaring, and the mottled shadows of the trees add a sense of tranquility.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's inner tangle did not calm down because of this tranquility. Too many things made her feel upset. When she came to Tianxi Country, she found many things more and more strange. After knowing the truth, her heart sank a little. Indistinctly, she always felt that Yumaishi and Gongsun Zixing and other people she cared about were related and connected.

She came for the Jade Haze Stone, but encountered too many concerns, and because of these concerns, she became indecisive. Gongsun Zixing said that even if there are conflicts, we are still friends, but why did he become more worried after knowing the truth of what his aunt said?

His brows were tightly furrowed, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at the ground for a long time, motionless.

"What are you thinking about?" Situ Xunxiao stood with his hands behind his back, standing beside Zongzheng Xiaoting. His voice was light, and his face was still cold.

"Situ Xunxiao, don't you ask who I am?" Zongzheng Xiaoting just sighed and didn't turn around.

Hearing this, Situ Xunxiao just raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It's not important."

"Isn't it important?" An almost inaudible sigh came out.

"Whether you are a princess or not has never been the reason for my liking for her, right?" Situ Xunxiao's implication was not said, but both of them understood, and there was no need to continue. He liked Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was originally a true person. In Situ Xunxiao's eyes, whether she was a princess or not was irrelevant.

"I never thought that even though I was so defensive, I still had a deep attachment and concern for these people." Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head. "If it's as my aunt said, then Gongsun Zixing might be hostile at times, but I don't understand why."

"You're worried about him!" Situ Xunxiao's tone was a little stiff. He would not be happy to see the person he loved being sad about other men. Moreover, the numerous mysteries now made people feel that there were crises everywhere. She was most worried about Gongsun Zixing, which made him feel a little frustrated. Even though he knew that Gongsun Zixing was just a good friend to her, he still felt unhappy.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting could hear Situ Xunxiao's displeasure, and he did not shy away from it. He took the initiative to hold Situ Xunxiao's hand, and sighed faintly, "I admit that I am indeed worried."

After saying this, she tightened her grip on Zongzheng Xiaoting's hand. "But I'm more worried about whether my premonition will come true. Xunxiao, I always felt that you and Gongsun Zixing would have conflicts. You know, for the people I care about, I can't bear to see one of them end up badly. But after thinking about it, I don't know why he and I might be in conflict in the future. He once promised that we would not be enemies, but I feel that it was just because he was unsure that he needed to swear to confirm his own ideas."

These words made Situ Xunxiao feel relieved. After all, she still cared about herself. If not, she wouldn't have been entangled. Just like she said, because she was not sure, she was so confident. And she, because she knew that the final choice would be her side, was she more worried about Gongsun Zixing?

"No matter what happens in the end, I will still give you what you want." Situ Xunxiao said calmly, "As long as I can do it."

The incoherent words made Zong Zheng Xiao Ting smile. He tilted his head to look at Situ Xun Xiao's shoulder, and he took a long breath without saying anything else.

Concubine Li followed her original plan and continued to stay in the courtyard, pretending to be evasive. She also rushed the handwritten letter in her hand towards Li's mansion at full speed.

In Yunguang Kingdom, Mo Lian, who received a secret letter from his master, began to take the opportunity to investigate the Queen Mother's past.

The Queen Mother did not sleep all night in the palace.

The Queen Mother walked out of the dark room, her face pale. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and worry. She invited Gong Yunyang from the palace of Concubine Hua to come over overnight, but she remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong, mother?" Gong Yunyang raised his eyebrows.

"I'm afraid I'll have to leave the harem for a while due to illness." The empress dowager looked at Gong Yunyang with a serious expression.

"Why is that?"

"I have told you that I have arranged a way to get rid of Situ Xunxiao in Tianxi Country without anyone noticing. However, I just received the report, and I am afraid that the secret has been exposed. This matter cannot be delayed. I have planned for you for so long, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Okay!" Gong Yunyang nodded solemnly, "I will make the arrangements for you, Queen Mother. Thank you for your concern."

Gong Yunyang stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace for a long time. The next day, the Empress Dowager fell ill. The imperial physician's diagnosis announced that the Empress Dowager needed to be isolated and recuperate. All matters in the harem were handled by Concubine Hua.

With Gong Yunyang's order, Mo Lian had a better opportunity to explore some things. However, Mo Lian was also smart. He obtained permission from the emperor in advance on the grounds of Situ Xunxiao's control, thus avoiding his own risks.

However, some are happy while others are sad. Seeing Concubine Hua's increasingly pouty face, the joy she had because of her pregnancy gradually turned into wanton hatred and resentment. Since Concubine Hua entered the palace, the emperor had gradually become indifferent to her. Even when she was pregnant, he became more and more distant. The sweet favor he showed before was now just perfunctory. Concubine Jing also gradually became unwilling to accept this and began to miss Situ Xunxiao. A vicious calculation flashed in her eyes.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for many people. Although Zongzheng Xiaoting and Situ Xunxiao did not mention it, they all tossed and turned when they fell asleep. A feeling of impending storm was swirling in everyone's heart.
