"Haha, Concubine Xian is indeed a smart person. However, Xiaoting can't bear the burden of having her kneel down. Qingqing, help her up." Zongzheng Xiaoting said to Qingqing nonchalantly, but his eyes, with deep meaning, fell on Concubine Zhenxian.
Concubine Zhenxian stood up with Qingqing's help and met Zongzheng Xiaoting's gaze. She was afraid in her heart. What kind of woman was Zongzheng Xiaoting? Why did she suddenly become a different person? Although Yun Chun was also very secretive, at least she would not have such a seductive aura when she changed her face.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting in front of him seemed to be smiling, but he exuded an aura that made him look like a king who controlled everything. He was intimidating without even getting angry. He seemed to have an innate majesty and dominance that was released outwardly. How could he hide such an aura?
But……
But she can do it! How can there be such a person!
Zong Zheng Xiaoting naturally understood why Concubine Zhenxian's eyes were filled with disbelief at this moment.
Having been in the business world for many years, Zong Zheng Xiaoting is an expert at displaying the right aura for different situations. Plus, she has studied psychology, so how could it be difficult for her to control her facial expressions?
Her eyes turned, and her previous aura faded away in an instant. She smiled and said to Concubine Zhenxian: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. Sometimes, some people kneel down to admit their mistakes. If they have different intentions, it is just superficial. Then, Xiaoting is afraid that he cannot bear this courtesy, because if he does, it will be difficult to estimate what kind of revenge he will have to endure in the future. However, whether Your Majesty is truly repentant or out of helplessness, it is not important to me. I asked Your Majesty to come here today just to make you understand one thing."
There were not many threats or intimidations in Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words. Even the smile on his face looked very sincere. However, these hidden words made Concubine Zhenxian's heart tremble uncontrollably.
"Princess...Princess, please...don't worry. I will do everything according to your arrangements." After speaking intermittently, Concubine Zhen finally calmed down and said to Zong Zheng Xiaoting.
Hearing this, Zongzheng Xiaoting sneered, "Your Majesty is indeed smart. You already know it before I even tell you?"
"People have the same feelings and the same reasoning. If it were me, I would also care about my mother's safety. Just like Yun Chun, what she did was just because she was afraid of marrying off someone else and wanted to make me sad. What the second princess wants me to understand is that it was out of filial piety." Concubine Zhenxian did not forget to mislead Zong Zheng Xiaoting and excuse herself for the Yun Chun incident.
However, if there hadn't been such a cunning excuse, Zong Zheng Xiaoting would still have felt a little bit reluctant. However, it was precisely this kind of expression that made Zong Zheng Xiaoting feel at ease with everything he had deliberately done tonight.
Looking at Concubine Zhenxian's face, a hint of murderous intent that had been hiding quickly flashed across the surface.
I originally thought that they were all poor people in the palace, and they just each had their own concerns. In order to protect my two aunts, I had to sacrifice these other people who harmed me. However, I also understood that their crimes were not unforgivable. But now it seems that their thoughts are indeed deep.
Even when he pretends to have something on me, even when he is showing his frightening unpredictability, he can still quickly adjust his mindset. Even when he is afraid, he can still think of excuses, try to distract himself from suspicion, and try to hide something. Such a calm person is definitely not a good person.
"It seems that Concubine Xian still really thinks that I am as stupid as a pig." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes turned from slightly narrowed to wide open, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill her as soon as possible. Step by step, he approached Concubine Zhenxian.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting followed closely, and Concubine Zhenxian pushed back involuntarily, tripped over the edge of the couch, and fell on it. Zong Zheng Xiaoting also stopped. "I would like to advise Concubine Xian, don't be too smart. What filial piety? Do you think Yun Chun's marriage was just because she offended me?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Concubine Zhenxian stunned. Looking at those eyes staring at her, as if they saw through everything, it made her feel uneasy. She only heard Zong Zheng Xiaoting say with disdain: "You know what Concubine Xian did to my mother before Concubine Lixian."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw a guilty expression on Concubine Zhenxian's face. It seemed that his guesses and inferences were correct. These doubts were also due to the subtle expression on Concubine Zhenxian's face. The more pretended to be surprised, the more fake it was.
The normal reaction of a person, when receiving stimulation, is to stop all activities for a very short moment, widen the eyes, raise the eyebrows, and slightly open the mouth. Queen Jeonghyeon perfectly demonstrated all of this. It's a pity that the excessive surprise she wanted to show exposed her pretense of surprise.
"Second Princess, I think you have misunderstood something." After making sure that Zong Zheng Xiao Ting and the others had seen her expression of surprise, Concubine Zhenxian hurriedly explained, but...
"The Empress Xianfei's acting talent should be avoided in front of me. I have solid evidence against you in my hand. If the Empress Xianfei still refuses to repent, then there will be nothing more to say in tonight's negotiations. Qingqing, please show me away!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting turned around, waved his sleeves, and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Concubine Zhenxian bit her lip, calmed down and said, "The Second Princess is indeed better than the master. I thought the Royal Concubine was already very capable, but I didn't expect that the Second Princess is even more capable. Since this is the case, I won't teach you how to do it. What did the Second Princess ask me to do?"
Seeing that everything was known, Concubine Zhenxian no longer struggled. Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Concubine Zhenxian forced herself to calm down and face Zongzheng Xiaoting.
"That's right." Zongzheng Xiaoting clapped his hands. "Xiaoting said it, talking to smart people is worry-free."
Accompanied by Ningshuang, Zong Zheng Xiaoting moved his lotus steps lightly and sat back on the soft couch. He looked at Concubine Zhenxian with pride and spoke slowly, "I have been quietly collecting a lot of evidence of the concubines in the harem over the years. Concubine Zhenxian is so smart that she must know that no one knows my true identity over the years, and no one knows where my confidants are. Naturally, it is much easier to get things done. Since my mother was sent to the cold palace, I have been taking every step carefully. Was she poisoned? Do you think that if I had not been prepared in advance, she could really be brought back to life?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting deliberately made it seem like he had already mastered the matter of his resurrection instead of the real Second Princess due to time travel. Sure enough, Concubine Zhenxian saw something shocking and frightened in her eyes.
