Inside Cuiyun Palace, Imperial Physician Chen listened respectfully to Qingqing's retelling. Although he tried his best to suppress the shock on his face, he could not hide his calmness.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder." Chen Xianzhi thought about the doubts he had just had outside Cuiyun Palace and said in a deep voice.
"No wonder?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting tilted his head and looked at Doctor Chen.
"Yes! Princess, you don't know. Just now, when Miss Qingqing brought me to Cuiyun Palace, I noticed that there was a person with good martial arts skills who left in a hurry. I was wondering if he was the princess's man, so when Miss Qingqing asked me, I concealed the truth." Doctor Chen nodded and said, "If what the princess said is true, the person who left must be someone who was spying on the princess. Whether it is Yunguang Kingdom or Tianxi Kingdom, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the princess to show up at this moment."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows slightly, "Doctor Chen also knows martial arts?"
"Yes." Doctor Chen knew that the Second Princess had long suspected his identity. Just because she hadn't pointed it out didn't mean she didn't know about it. But now that things had come to this, they were all in the same boat. If they all kept things secret, then the unknown master who had left would most likely be the exception if things didn't go smoothly.
Since the plan is to leave the palace and not go to Yunguang Kingdom for marriage, we must take precautions against all these contingencies.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Doctor Chen's calm face, and said with a slightly parted red lip, "I wonder if Doctor Chen's martial arts skills can judge the strength of the people outside this palace?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Doctor Chen understand that the Second Princess had noticed that there was someone outside the house. However, judging from the Second Princess's behavior, this person was also unknown to the Princess.
"Princess, this man's martial arts skills are probably on par with mine." Doctor Chen was silent for a while, then reported to Zong Zheng Xiaoting cautiously.
Accompanied by Qingqing, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up and moved to the couch beside him. He gently picked up the hot tea and took a sip. "I am curious, what level does Doctor Chen's martial arts skills belong to in Luozha Country, or in the martial arts world?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting continued to sip tea leisurely. In her opinion, although she did not understand what martial arts and internal force were, she had never eaten pork before. After reading so many martial arts novels, they were more or less similar, right? If she was right, internal force should be something that people with high martial arts skills can detect, right?
The person who was eavesdropping on the music outside just now was originally thought to be someone else, but now, according to Chen Taiyi's observation, he is actually a person with good internal strength. It seems that Situ Xunxiao's martial arts skills are not low either. Could it be him? Turning back on the way?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned, and he felt that this marriage was not going as he wished.
Just when Zong Zheng Xiaoting was feeling uneasy, the voice of Doctor Chen came over: "Princess, I dare not say that I am a top-notch expert, but I can also say that there are not many people who can be my opponent."
"Oh?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyes. "According to what Doctor Chen said, this person was detected by you. Do you think his martial arts skills are slightly inferior to yours?"
"I am not sure about this. After all, the person who left the inner court of the imperial palace in a hurry may have thought that the palace maids came to look for you, the princess, and did not take precautions to cover up, so I discovered him." Doctor Chen explained: "After all, the reason why the more skilled martial artists are not discovered by the less skilled ones is that the other party can be fully alert and cover up."
"Is that so?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting chewed on Doctor Chen's words and turned his thoughts. "At this point, it's better to be careful. If I claim to be sick and don't go out, I'm afraid the decision to marry will be difficult to make. If I show up, it will inevitably reveal my true colors. Doctor Chen, do you have a way to make it difficult for me and Qingqing to distinguish their voices and appearances for the time being?"
"I understand what the princess means, but why would the person who is going to marry someone who is not good-looking?" Doctor Chen reminded.
"Really?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled. "If the person that Doctor Chen wants me to marry is the Crown Prince of Tianxi Country, it might be difficult. However, the person that he wants me to marry is the God of War Prince of Yunguang Country, that's another matter."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qing Qing and Doctor Chen with puzzled expressions, and slowly answered: "If you two have lived in fear of being ridiculed since childhood, your hearts would probably be as cold as Situ Xunxiao's. Why would a person with an extremely cold heart come to Luozha to seek marriage when he holds power in Yunguang Kingdom? If I am not mistaken, the ruler of Yunguang Kingdom may not be able to tolerate the God of War who is so powerful that he threatens the ruler."
"Princess, you are right." Doctor Chen told Zongzheng Xiaoting the details of the situation of the King of Yunguang Kingdom and the God of War Prince, and the smile on Zongzheng Xiaoting's face became more intense.
"Then, according to the current situation, Doctor Chen, do you think Situ Xunxiao will refuse or agree to the marriage?"
"This..." Doctor Chen frowned, then raised his eyebrows, "The princess's clothes belong to Situ Xunxiao herself. Do you want this marriage?"
Zongzheng Xiaoting nodded and leaned lazily on the cushion. "Before, Qingqing mentioned to me that Situ Xunxiao was unlucky in marriage. Anyone who entered the Situ Palace as a concubine or maid never had a good ending. I guessed that these people probably entered with a purpose. The royal family has been fighting since ancient times. I know a little about their reasons. If I put myself in their shoes, it will not be difficult to understand the strangeness."
"I understand. What the princess meant was that the marriage was forced, but it was planned by Situ Xunxiao. It seemed that she was forced, but in fact, he had already made up his mind about the marriage." Doctor Chen bowed and took over Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words.
"That's right." Zong Zheng Xiaoting had a deep smile on his fair face. "Since this princess is only useful to him, then this beauty or ugliness is irrelevant to him. From my contact with him, I can see that this person is mature and stable, which is very different from the insignificant prince of Tianxi Kingdom. In comparison, this palace has nothing to worry about. What's more, there is another reason that can push Situ Xunxiao to look forward to the marriage even more."
"Looking forward to it?" Qingqing and Doctor Chen asked at the same time.
Long eyelashes fluttered as Zong Zheng Xiaoting blinked, "Although Situ Xunxiao mistook me for Qingqing, this curiosity-induced affection is not short-lived. If a person with a cold heart becomes curious and then develops a liking for someone, I'm afraid that deep in his heart, there will be the most natural emotional traction that guides him to continue to approach."
Inside Cuiyun Palace, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was planning the next journey, and Imperial Physician Chen also started to get busy according to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's instructions.
When the Empress and Concubine Rou heard that Zong Zheng Xiaoting's illness had recurred, the gears of Zong Zheng Xiaoting's fate really began to turn rapidly.
