Gongsun Ziyun looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting and sighed helplessly, "There is no deep hatred between you and me. Why do you have to be so hostile to me, Sister Xiaoting?"

"Really?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting's voice was very soft, but beneath that faint smile, there was a hint of sarcasm.

Standing up slowly, Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the flourishing flowers in front of him and said calmly, "Li Qi and I are distant relatives, right? Do I need to tell you in detail what Young Master Ziyun did? Haha, let's not talk about this matter. What did Li Xiang contribute and what did my grandfather undertake? Even if I didn't see anything, I can guess it.

Queen and Wei Zixin, although I am loyal to you, I have never believed that your grand plan can only be achieved by sacrificing lovers. And my mother and father are now under house arrest. Is it possible that Gongsun Zixing can control their life and death just because he thinks he can give birth? If you were me, what would you do? "

Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled faintly, looking at Gongsun Ziyun with eyes full of disdain.

"Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have not been particular about small matters. My elder brother once said that you, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, are not an ordinary woman. Do you still think so now? Then why can you be so gentle to my elder brother?"

"On what basis can Young Master Ziyun be compared with Gongsun Zixing?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting blurted out these merciless words.

Seeing Gongsun Ziyun's face was very ugly, Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled nonchalantly: "Young Master Ziyun, do you know what I said before, that it is important to be sincere? You don't even understand the hearts of your own relatives, let alone be sincere with me? You just said that Gongsun Zixing once said that I am not an ordinary woman, but I don't know how to judge others by my own standards."

As Gongsun Ziyun frowned in surprise, Zong Zheng Xiaoting said quietly, "People are all made of flesh and blood. No matter how eccentric Zong Zheng Xiaoting is, he cannot be without filial piety and emotions. I met Brother Zixing because of fate, but also because we have similar personalities and are unwilling to be bound by the secular world. We can understand each other and talk about everything. However, the things we carry are not something we can do arbitrarily.

You are too superficial in love. This superficiality also hurts the one you love most. Is Yuncong really just unworthy of being your sister-in-law? Or are you simply using this excuse to numb your emotions? Master Ziyun, is it really good to deceive yourself? "

"Why...how do you know..." Gongsun Ziyun was a little surprised and didn't speak carefully, but Zongzheng Xiaoting just smiled and said, "Do you really think that the person Yuncong likes is your eldest brother?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not continue speaking. He just turned his back to Gongsun Ziyun and walked away step by step.

"If you lose your original intention because of your own impulsive bias, you will end up with nothing. Gongsun Ziyun, the biggest difference between you and Gongsun Zixing is your heart. And this difference determines that I treat you differently." Zongzheng Xiaoting stopped walking. "In fact, you are just following your elder brother's footsteps to me. You have been learning and imitating everything about your elder brother, so you mistakenly think that you should be like him, or that he should be like you."

After Zong Zheng Xiaoting finished speaking, he left Yu Garden, leaving Gongsun Ziyun standing there with a confused and entangled look on his face.

The cool breeze blew, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly frowned after leaving Yu Garden. The jade stone on his wrist seemed to have sensed something. An anxious light flashed in his eyes, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting's steps became much more hurried.

But the closer I got, the stranger it felt. The melodious piano sounds were pleasing to my ears, but they made me feel vaguely sad.

But the sound of the piano is in the same direction as the Jade Haze Stone.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned and walked anxiously, but when he saw the people in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the distance, his heart suddenly tightened. After hesitating for a long time, Zong Zheng Xiaoting finally stepped towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Stopping outside the pavilion, looking at Gongsun Zixing immersed in the music, Zong Zheng Xiaoting actually felt a sense of homesickness. The sound of the strings disturbed the peace in Zong Zheng Xiaoting's heart. You can know a person by listening to the music. Gongsun Zixing's piano sound at this moment is unpleasant.

Glancing at the pipa beside him, Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly approached, picked up the pipa, and quietly responded. The wind blew gently, and the scene in the pavilion in the middle of the lake seemed like a fairyland, making people unable to look away.

"It's been a long time since I've been like this, so reckless." Gongsun Zixing chuckled, stopped plucking the strings of the zither, his eyes full of emotion.

"Brother Zixing seems to be a little unwell." Zongzheng Xiaoting frowned.

Gongsun Zixing just smiled, took out a small box and asked, "Is this what you have been looking for?"

The exquisite colored glass box lay quietly in Gongsun Zixing's hand. After receiving the box, Zongzheng Xiaoting opened it suspiciously, but his eyes widened in surprise. The jade haze stone that he had been looking for for so long turned out to be the jade seal of the Suli Kingdom!

Staring at the jade seal in his hand, Zongzheng Xiaoting's heart was suddenly startled.

"Before, you searched everywhere but couldn't find it, but you went to the jade shops of Gongsun and Yun families. I was a little suspicious." Gongsun Zixing said calmly, "I didn't expect it to be this jade seal."

"Brother Zixing, what do you want to do by giving this to me?"

"I'm sorry." Gongsun Zixing stood up and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with guilt in his eyes.

This apology made Zong Zheng Xiaoting's heart tighten. Thinking about the abnormal behavior of Gongsun Ziyun just now, some doubts were about to burst out.

"I really cannot guarantee the safety of your father and mother." Gongsun Zixing tried his best to remain calm, but the unrest in his eyes betrayed him.

"This is your order, isn't it?" Holding the jade seal tightly, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Situ Xunxiao has already joined forces with the Tianxi Kingdom to send troops. My plan has failed." Gongsun Zixing said indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back, turning around without looking at Zongzheng Xiaoting: "How about taking this jade seal in exchange for the life of someone I care about?"

"Since everything is a foregone conclusion, why bother to make a deal with me?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his eyes, trying his best to maintain a calm tone.

"Because you are right. There are so many innocent people in the world."

Gongsun Zixing's words made Zongzheng Xiaoting purse his lips tightly. Considering the strength of Yingxue Mountain Manor and Yun Family, if they really came to a head, it would probably be a fight to the death.

Staring at Situ Xunxiao's back, Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned his head away: "Then what can you guarantee?"

"If you wish, I will leave at the right time, and everything in Yingxue Mountain Manor will belong to you." Gongsun Zixing said calmly, "I can ensure that no one will stir up trouble again in my lifetime. As long as this jade seal is not in my hands."

Gongsun Zixing refused to turn around. Zongzheng Xiaoting stared at his back for a long time, and he knew in his heart that some things could not be answered even if asked. In this case, there was no point in saying more.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You will know in a few days." Gongsun Zixing smiled softly, "This jade seal is more important than myself. No one else deserves it except you."

"I know." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded and left the pavilion in the middle of the lake without looking back.

There was no farewell, no other words, just as if nothing had happened in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Gongsun Zixing stared at the lake surface that was slightly swaying in the breeze, and smiled lightly, "It is impossible for you and I not to be enemies. When I ordered the elimination of your father, it was already destined. This is all I can do for you."

Ten days later, when Situ Xunxiao's army arrived at Luozha Kingdom, they did not encounter any resistance. Since the palace of Luozha Kingdom was occupied, rumors have been spreading among the people that the royal family was trapped and countless casualties had occurred. People who had originally lived and worked in peace and contentment now felt that those who occupied the palace had ulterior motives.

When Situ Xunxiao arrived, the people only felt that it was their duty to rescue the princess and the emperor. The troops that were still in Luozha Kingdom an hour ago disappeared after Situ Xunxiao attacked the city.

After more than a month, when Situ Xunxiao saw Zongzheng Xiaoting again, they just stared at each other quietly. The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

"The Queen Mother is dead?"

"Um."

"Xiang Bi Chi?"

“Death is not a pity.”

"What's next?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and looked at Situ Xunxiao with gentle eyes.

"Or maybe, it will really evolve as my aunt said." Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and stretched out his hand to Zongzheng Xiaoting.

Staring at the hands stretched out in the air, Zong Zheng Xiaoting just watched quietly without taking any action, holding the letter tightly in his hand.

Situ Xunxiao caught a glimpse of the word "Xing" in the signature of the letter, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he strode towards Zongzheng Xiaoting, grabbed her hand domineeringly, and led her towards the palace in front without saying a word.

The two walked up the long stairs very slowly.

"Zong Zheng Xiaoting, no matter who I am, I am still me." Situ Xunxiao's voice was extremely firm.

"And then?" The person who was being held tightly just smiled faintly.

"Jade Haze Stone, I'll help you find it."

"But I've found it." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's voice was very low, and the person holding her hand froze nervously.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just stopped quietly, staring at him without blinking, and Situ Xunxiao said decisively: "Then let's get married before you leave."

"But..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting dragged out the last syllable, "I can't seem to leave."

The smiling autumn eyes blinked cunningly, "Not welcome?"

The man who was originally upset by the silence and depressed atmosphere deliberately pretended by Zong Zheng Xiaoting, now looked at her smiling face with a look of success, but also raised the corners of his mouth. The charming smile made Zong Zheng Xiaoting slightly distracted, but the next second he was suddenly picked up and hugged.

"Situ Xunxiao, what are you doing?"

"I don't seem to want to get married." Situ Xunxiao said seriously, imitating Zong Zheng Xiaoting's tone.

Seeing her eyes widen, Situ Xunxiao lowered his voice, "Or having the wedding night first is also a good choice."

“…”

Ignoring the people still at the bottom of the ladder, Situ Xunxiao just left them behind.

Watching his master leave, Qin Xiao touched his nose and said, "I think we should all go away."

"But some people even sent a list of beauties." Zhou Miao frowned.

"Do you think, given the master's personality, he would agree?" Mo Lian put on a meaningful smile and pulled Nighthawk away.
