In front of Yu's study

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the scene of vigilance everywhere. He never expected that those who surrounded the palace were actually the troops of Luozha Kingdom. He couldn't help but frown.

Zong Zheng Wei Mo was a monarch, and he actually had his own ideas and reasons. He did not make any major mistakes in governing the country. In fact, under his governance, the country was thriving and well-fed, compared to the past. What kind of person was he to have so much support and support?

Seeing Wei Zixin coming, the people surrounding Yu's study bowed respectfully.

"General Wei!"

"Where is the master?" Wei Zixin nodded slightly.

"Still in the study."

"I'll go in and take a look." Wei Zixin nodded to the captain of the guards and pushed the door open and walked in.

In Yu's study, a strange atmosphere spread.

When Wei Zixin walked in, the Royal Concubine's eyes flashed with surprise. She bit her lower lip and said, "Wei Zixin, why is it you?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Xiaoting is outside."

"What are you going to do!" Royal Concubine Bai Tianrou widened her eyes, "Where is the Queen?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I, Wei Zixin, will not hurt the one I love." Wei Zixin glanced at the emperor before turning around and saluting the man who was confronting Zong Zheng Wei Mo. Looking at his lonely back, he looked even more lonely under the flickering candlelight.

"My Lord, Princess Xiaoting wants to know the truth."

"Didn't I tell her that I didn't want her to know?" The man's voice was very soft, with a hint of loneliness and helplessness, and there seemed to be a sigh escaping from the tip of his nose.

Wei Zixin said respectfully, "But Tianling said that the Lord might hope to have no regrets."

"Why?" The figure, with his back to the crowd, seemed to straighten up a little.

"I'm afraid Princess Xiaoting doesn't have much time left."

"What did you say?" Three voices rang out at the same time, and the man who had his back to her suddenly turned around.

Under the soft light, one could see a woman dressed in elegant attire and with a face as beautiful as a jade. Gongsun Zixing's face was as panicked as that of the imperial concubine and the emperor.

After conveying Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words, Gongsun Zixing's voice was heard before he finished speaking, with a little anxiety, "Take good care of the emperor and the concubine."

After saying this, the door of Yu's study suddenly opened.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who had been staring quietly at the door of Yu's study, raised his gaze when he heard some noise inside the door and bumped into Gongsun Zixing.

"Xiao Ting." Gongsun Zixing didn't know what to do, so he just murmured her name. Zongzheng Xiaoting, on the other hand, was slightly startled, but suddenly smiled as if he had suddenly realized something.

"It's you, after all. Fate really likes to play jokes on you." Looking at Gongsun Zixing, Zongzheng Xiaoting sighed secretly.

Without caring about anything else, Gongsun Zixing approached with some concern: "Xiaoting, Wei Zixin said that you don't have much time left?"

"At this moment, this is not what we should be talking about, right?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting was a little distant. He took a few steps back and his eyes fell on Gongsun Zixing, which were chilling to the bone.

"I've said before that you and I are not enemies." Gongsun Zixing explained quickly, "Your father and mother are both unharmed."

However, Gongsun Zixing's words made Zongzheng Xiaoting laugh softly. She looked at Gongsun Zixing with the same indifference. She only asked softly, "Gongsun Zixing, do you know what I thought when you told me this?"

Zongzheng Xiaoting ignored Gongsun Zixing's expression and just said to himself: "At that time, I was thinking that the promises between people are often made because they are not sure. At that time, although you and I believed in each other, we both knew that there are some things in the future that no one can control."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned around and looked at the light that was dimly illuminating the night sky of the palace because of tonight's incident. He raised his head and said, "In fact, you already knew at that time that you and I would only be enemies, didn't you? Your promise was just to convince yourself and to give me assurance. This is why you wanted to hide it from me tonight and didn't want me to know the reason. Sometimes deceiving yourself is just deceiving yourself after all."

"I was only wrong about this, because you and I have different standpoints."

"Really?" Zongzheng Xiaoting laughed softly, "Gongsun Zixing, I confessed my identity to you from the very beginning when I met you. What about you? Do you want to tell me that your conspiracy started after you met me?"

"..." After hearing what Zongzheng Xiaoting said, Gongsun Zixing could only remain silent and look at the back figure under the night sky.

"If I were you, I would just choose to be a stranger, because only in this way I would not hurt others or myself. Of course, if I were you, I would find an excuse at that time, saying that I can't be friends with someone who is a princess on an equal footing." Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed, "Gongsun Zixing, can you tell me what you were thinking and planning at that time, and how you were going to use me?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Gongsun Zixing feel a little suffocated. Every word was like a needle piercing his heart, causing him to feel a dull pain but not knowing what to do.

However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting obviously had no intention of stopping questioning and doubting. She could only be heard muttering to herself, "Or maybe even the poison I was poisoned with was part of your plan? You really played this game beautifully."

However, what Gongsun Zixing did not see was that Zhou Miao, who was quietly guarding Zongzheng Xiaoting, had been standing in the same place. Just when Zongzheng Xiaoting turned around with her back to Gongsun Zixing, she happened to make eye contact with Zhou Miao. She walked step by step, but was hinting something to Zhou Miao.

"Xiaoting, actually I..."

"Princess!" Zhou Miao was shocked and hurriedly caught Zong Zheng Xiaoting's falling body. This sudden change also made Gongsun Zixing very anxious.

Because Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly felt dizzy, Gongsun Zixing hurriedly sent her to the small courtyard to the right of Yu's study. The imperial doctors also examined her one by one, but all to no avail.

Lying weakly on the bed, Zong Zheng Xiaoting slightly opened his eyes and looked at the imperial doctors and ministers who came and went in the past few days. He basically understood who contributed how much in the changes in Luozha Kingdom.

"Princess, how about I go find the prince and Doctor Chen?" Zhou Miao said to Zong Zheng Xiaoting anxiously, "According to Doctor Chen, if Princess continues like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to last even 20 days."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just shook his head weakly, "I didn't want him to lose his temper because of me, and I won't allow it at this moment."

Gongsun Zixing, who was standing quietly by the side, slumped his shoulders dejectedly, the sadness in his eyes fleeting.
