Ningshuang, who had been stared at by Zongzheng Xiaoting for a long time, felt a little uncomfortable and her heart was beating fast.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Ning Shuang's fingers twisting together calmly, and then raised a happy arc, "It seems that if one day my choice is different from yours, it would be easy for you to betray me, huh?"
One could not tell whether Zong Zheng Xiaoting was happy or angry in his gentle voice, and looking at Ning Shuang's face, there was also a smile. If it were not for the last rhetorical tone with a frightening majesty, one would really think that Zong Zheng Xiaoting was gentle in nature and had no airs at all.
"Ningshuang dare not!" At this moment, Ningshuang's back was already covered in cold sweat. Although the weather was cold, it was not as cold and fearful as she felt at this moment.
Just now, I met the princess's gaze. Although her eyes were smiling, I felt a sense of panic, as if I could see everything clearly.
"Whether you dare or not, whether what you say is the same as what you think in your heart, it's hard to say." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Ning Shuang and gradually put away the smile on his face, "But, I must remind you that when you do things around me, you can't just be smart."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Ning Shuang raise her head hurriedly. She wanted to explain something, but was stopped by Zong Zheng Xiaoting's next words.
"Of course, I understand that what you said is not without reason, but I have to take precautions before it happens." Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Ning Shuang with a smile again. She turned her head and looked at Qingqing, "Qingqing, help her up."
"Yes!" Seeing her master going through all this trouble, Qingqing's heart gradually became clear. She took a step forward and helped Ningshuang, who had been kneeling for a long time.
"Thank you, Princess." Ningshuang's brows were furrowed in pain because she had been kneeling on the ground for too long, and when Qingqing helped her up.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes gleamed, "When you are by my side, you need absolute loyalty. Think carefully before you talk to me. Go down."
"I'll take my leave." Ningshuang bit her lip, bent her knees slightly, and left the house.
Not long after she left, Qingqing walked towards Zong Zheng Xiaoting impatiently.
"Princess, why are you so harsh on Ning Shuang?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing and just smiled faintly, "What do you think, Qingqing?"
Seeing that the princess did not answer but asked instead, Qingqing pursed her lips seriously, "Qingqing is not as smart as the princess, I really can't figure it out, but if you say it's just because she is a new maid, it doesn't make sense. After all, she is the confidant of the noble concubine."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded and agreed, "Well said, go on."
"This is what Qingqing doesn't understand. Logically speaking, Ningshuang was sent to you by the Imperial Concubine, so she must be trustworthy and you don't need to be on guard against her. And just now at the palace banquet, the princess was just as friendly to her as she was to Qingqing. It doesn't make sense for her to get so angry just because of her advice to you."
"Haha, Qingqing, do you think Ningshuang is a person with two faces?" Zongzheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing's troubled face and finally decided not to remain silent.
"Inconsistent inside and out?" Qingqing frowned and raised her head, looking at Zongzheng Xiaoting.
"I want to ask you, if I send you to my mother right now and ask you to help her, will you act like you did today?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Qing Qing frown tightly. She thought carefully, and then shook her head solemnly.
"This is the problem." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up slowly, looked at the stars in the night sky, and sighed deeply. "Even if I am in her position, and even though you are trying to persuade her to be impolite, it is different after all. It is the first day of serving the master. Even if you are the master's confidant, you can't be so unreserved to a completely unfamiliar new master. What do you think?"
"Princess, do you mean that there is something wrong with Ningshuang?" Qingqing widened her eyes and frowned.
"Whether it is a problem or not, I haven't noticed it yet, but these behaviors are indeed very strange. Think about it, if it were you, you wouldn't dare to express it like this, but she not only behaved like this, but also dared to express that everything she did was for the sake of my Luozha country. Such an ambitious person, but it makes me suspicious." Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled softly, "Even if I am a princess, I may not be so selfless and care about my family, country and the world. I will make plans for my loved ones. And Qingqing, you are loyal to the master, but you are still selfish and will help me plan for the future. Even my father, didn't he abandon his beloved daughter for his own selfishness?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes became clearer with every word and sentence she uttered. "Sometimes, when people try to express themselves or strengthen their presence, they become unconsciously fooled by their own intelligence."
"Princess, are you saying that Ningshuang had some plans, so she acted in a hurry. She wanted to show her loyalty and patriotism?" Qingqing's thoughts became clear after Zongzheng Xiaoting sorted them out.
"It's not impossible." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded.
"If that's the case, if the marriage is really to take place, will the princess still take her with her?" Qingqing thought about the reason why Ningshuang was called here, and couldn't help but worry.
"Bring her, why not?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned his head and looked at Qingqing, smiling proudly, "She was called here by mother because she performed the best among your confidants, and mother chose her for me because of this. Since there is an abnormal person, mother has not discovered it. If such a person is still kept by mother's side, wouldn't it lose the original intention of my plan to leave the palace?"
"But Princess, if you don't want her to stay with the Royal Concubine, you can just tell her directly. Why take her out of the palace?" Qingqing shook her head in disapproval. She was already worried just thinking about the choice the princess would make on her way to the marriage. If there was an uncertain factor like Ningshuang, then wouldn't the princess be in even greater danger?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw Qingqing's anxious eyes and smiled faintly, "Suspicion is always suspicion. I don't want to kill her for something without evidence. Moreover, if she really has a purpose, then I'm afraid that everything she has in the palace is related to Luozha Country. Since I don't have time to take care of so many things, why not just take her away?"
"But the princess is in greater danger!" Qingqing pouted, her eyes red with anxiety.
"Just pay more attention." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped Qing Qing from continuing to persuade her without giving her any more time to argue. "Besides, these are all my guesses and may not be true. Just pay attention. I have made up my mind."
Qingqing nodded helplessly, "Qingqing understands."
The night wind blew the leaves outside the window, and Zong Zheng Xiaoting stared at the night sky with a frown.
