The wind blew the leaves, and the mottled reflections under the tree's shade swayed. Ping'er looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting in surprise. On her beautiful face, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with confusion and worry, which she did not conceal.

"Second Princess, these matters are taken care of by the Empress and the Royal Concubine, so you don't have to worry about them," Ping'er advised.

"Those involved are confused, while those who are watching can see things clearly. This time, the Queen Mother and the Concubine Mother responded suddenly, and we are afraid that there will be mistakes. You know, one wrong move will lead to a complete loss." Zong Zheng Xiaoting patted the back of Ping'er's hand, causing Ping'er's eyes to flicker.

After a while, Ping'er lowered her voice and said to Zong Zheng Xiaoting in a soft voice: "Before, the Queen Mother had been paying attention to Caiwei's movements and knew about the existence of Caiwei's sister. In order to be on the safe side, the Queen Mother thought of a way to force Caiwei's sister Caixia to the palace."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyebrows moved, and he whispered, "But she's my biological sister? She's from the same mother?"

"Yes, princess." Ping'er nodded, "She is also Caiwei's only relative in this world. Caiwei loves this sister very much, and it was destined when she stole Concubine Lixian's hairpin for her sister."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded. Everyone has weaknesses. These maids and confidants of the concubines may not be afraid of death, but they will lose their sense of propriety towards the people they care about.

Caiwei's theft of the hairpin sent a signal to the Empress and Concubine Rougui that no matter how loyal they were to Concubine Lixian, she was not as precious as their only family.

"Go on." Zong Zheng Xiaoting walked slowly, thinking and asking questions.

"In fact, since they found out about the princess last night, both of them couldn't hold their temper. Moreover, the princess's injury made the master very worried." Ping'er clenched her fists. "The Concubine Zhen has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and Concubine Fu didn't want to be a scapegoat. So, the only thing missing was the testimony of the most favorable witness. Therefore, the Concubine Zhen sent people to hunt down Caixia, causing Caixia to flee and inform Caiwei, and eventually died in front of Caiwei. If the guards hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Caiwei would have been in great danger."

Hearing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's face became even more worried. "Hunting? In the palace?"

"Don't worry, Princess. The assassins and guards are all secret guards. There will be no problem." Ping'er saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowning and thought that he was worried that things would be exposed, so she hurried to comfort him.

However, this comfort surprised Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

Dark Guard!

How could the master of the harem have secret guards? Moreover, such a meticulous arrangement could not attract the attention of the guards. These secret guards must be extraordinary. What is going on? Could it be that the man in black hiding in Cuiyun Palace is one of these secret guards?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting felt uneasy and restless in his heart because of all the unknown things.

"Then... is Caiwei's sister really dead?"

"The master said, if you don't remove the roots of the weeds, they will grow again in the spring breeze." Ping'er said to Zong Zheng Xiaoting vaguely, while Zong Zheng Xiaoting's face looked normal, except for his hands hidden in his sleeves, which were clenched tightly into fists.

As they were talking, Cuiyun Palace was already in front of them. Zong Zheng Xiaoting didn't have any extra thoughts, so he sent Ping'er away and stood at the palace gate in a daze, looking thoughtful.

The two aunts had no choice but to act in this way, but I still couldn't accept it.

After all, the one who died was an innocent life. Even if he was a big shot in the business world, he did not harm any innocent people.

If Concubine Lixian had killed someone to pay for her crime, committed many evil deeds, and died, I wouldn't have thought much of it, but...

I don’t know how long I stood there, but Zong Zheng Xiaoting’s heart still couldn’t warm up, and his face gradually turned pale.

When Qingqing came back after getting the news, she saw her own princess looking unhappy and standing motionless not far away.

Qingqing, feeling anxious, hurried over in two steps at a time, lowering her voice, fearing that she might frighten her master, and said cautiously: "Princess...Princess..."

Qingqing's voice finally interrupted Zong Zheng Xiaoting's messy thoughts.

She looked up blankly, "What's wrong?"

"Qingqing wants to ask the princess, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed and your face looks so ugly. Is your wound hurting?" Qingqing's series of words made Zongzheng Xiaoting smile.

"Princess, can Qingqing go in with you first?" Qingqing saw that her master was smiling, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. As she spoke, she took the hand of Zongzheng Xiaoting and lifted him up. However, she was frightened by the coldness coming from his fingertips: "Princess!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting naturally understood Qingqing's exclamation, "I'm fine, I'm just disappointed. Let's go in and talk."

"Yes!" Qingqing bit her lip. The princess was so chilled. Did something happen? Didn't the emperor ask the empress to deal with Concubine Xian? Qingqing kept thinking and guessing.

When Zong Zheng Xiaoting sat down, he saw Qingqing's brows were furrowed.

This little girl gave me the most genuine and pure love in this harem, and it has never been polluted by so much helplessness.

Qingqing, who had been stared at by Zong Zheng Xiaoting for a long time, finally raised her eyes and smiled at him. The little flesh on her cheeks became bulging, and a few freckles on her face only added to her playfulness.

"Did you find out anything?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked.

"I did ask, but Qingqing wants to know, what happened to the princess? Is she going to disappear, so she is so cold?" Qingqing's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but smile. After thinking so much, this is the conclusion he finally came to?

Are you afraid of disappearing?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes sparkled, "For the time being, this princess will not disappear."

"For now?" Qingqing's tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed helplessly. This little girl was indeed smart and careful. "Maybe I will disappear in three years. You know, I don't belong here."

Qingqing just held back her tears stubbornly, not letting them fall, but her eyes were filled with complicated emotions, joy and reluctance!

"Qingqing, aren't you sad?"

"Sad!" Qingqing sniffed and forced a smile, "But Princess, this is also good. As long as you can delay for three years, you don't have to go to marry."

Marriage?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes widened. "Are you talking about the trap set by Concubine Li Xian?"

Qingqing nodded. "It's just that now, it seems even more incredible. It is said that in addition to Yunguang, the Tianxi Kingdom has also come to discuss marriage. These envoys came for this purpose, but, apart from you, Princess, there is no one else who can match their king or prince."

"Is this news accurate?"

"Princess, the noble concubine also knows this. I have confirmed it with the palace maids serving the emperor. Five days ago, the war god prince of Yunguang Kingdom had already arrived at the post station. Now, the Tianxi Kingdom is also coming here."

Envoys from two countries? This is not easy to deal with. After all, since ancient times, the fate of princesses has been more or less good! Beauty and the country, the emperor's choice is the country, not to mention the beauty's child?
