Chapter 73: Insider



At daybreak, the royal palace of Luozha Kingdom was already busy.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting and Zong Zheng Yunchun also bid farewell to Zong Zheng Weimo and their mothers, and then, with the emperor and empress seeing them off, they set out on their journey to marry.

In the carriage, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was closing her eyes and resting. The bumps on the road were not a big deal to her. At this moment, all she was thinking about was how to deal with these troublesome escort troops.

Out of love, Zong Zheng Weimo sent many more people than before for the marriage. This was unexpected by Zong Zheng Xiaoting, the Queen and others.

I don't even know how many secret guards my aunt has given me. It seems that I have to find a chance to meet with the deputy chief of guards, Wei Zixin. However, it is really strange that the queen would entrust these important secret guard matters to Wei Zixin. It is really strange. Wei Zixin has never entered the harem. What ability does he have to make his aunt trust him?

Thinking back to the day when the guard chief Yuan Xian and Wei Zixin came to Cuiyun Palace to search, I investigated them and found no clues. Yuan Xian's only connection was that he was a relative of Concubine Fu, but Wei Zixin was innocent and had no clues, which made me suspicious. The cleaner the background, the more strange it was. Therefore, I didn't pay too much attention to Yuan Xian. But if Wei Zixin was capable enough, why was he only a deputy guard until now, when he was more than ten years older than Yuan Xian and his family background and status were not inferior to Yuan Xian?

The more he thought about it, the more Zong Zheng Xiaoting's brows knitted together.

"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Qingqing looked at her master's frowning brows and asked softly.

"Nothing." Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qingqing, "Maybe, I'm a little reluctant."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting opened the window curtains, looked back and saw that the palace was no longer in sight. He sighed softly, "I don't know if I will have the chance to see my mother and my concubine again."

"Princess, there will be a chance. The Yunguang Kingdom comes to the Luozha Kingdom once a year. As long as Prince Zhan is willing, the princess will naturally be able to come back." Ningshuang said softly.

Looking at Ning Shuang who was respectful, Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, "I want you to accompany me temporarily, far away from my hometown, do you blame me?"

Ning Shuang heard this and hurriedly stood up and knelt down: "I am guilty, please punish me, Princess."

The sudden change only made Zong Zheng Xiaoting raise his eyebrows slightly and asked in a deep voice: "What is this for?"

"Princess, Ningshuang originally had selfish motives and was unwilling to leave the palace. That's why she tried every possible means to make you distrust her and leave her in the palace. That's why she has never served you seriously and has been avoiding the answers you want. Please punish me." Ningshuang knelt straight down and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with a look of regret on her face.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting just listened quietly, without any emotion on his face, and said calmly: "It's human nature. I have no reason to blame you. Besides, this is not a big deal, so it's not a punishment."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Ning Shuang raise her eyes, and she looked at the second princess who was sitting upright in confusion.

All I could hear was her soft sigh: "It's a pity that your cleverness ultimately backfired. Sometimes, if people were less fickle and treated others sincerely, they wouldn't be like this now."

"Ningshuang knows she is wrong." To Ningshuang, it sounded like the Second Princess was questioning her for thinking too much. However, Zongzheng Xiaoting's next words made her regret it.

"I doubt your loyalty, but I have to be cautious in this deep palace. If you had told me everything earlier and you didn't want to leave, I wouldn't have asked you to stay. After all, I know better than anyone that a forced melon is not sweet." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up and helped Ning Shuang up, then said, "It's a pity that you are so smart. That's why I think you have bad intentions. If that's the case, how could I ask you to stay with my mother? What a pity..."

How could that be!

These words sowed ripples in Ning Shuang's heart, which were definitely not so easy to calm down. She was really too smart. At this moment, the second princess's words made her suddenly realize that she had been too smart for fear of revealing her purpose, but it aroused the princess's suspicion. Unexpectedly, in the final analysis, she was wrong.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Hey... Qingqing, tell them to take a rest. I'm going to get off the car and walk. You stay with Ningshuang." Zong Zheng Xiaoting instructed Qingqing, but his hand was on her hair, tapping three times.

It was a secret signal between them, so Qingqing naturally understood it. She immediately ordered them to stop and rest, and considerately accompanied Ningshuang out of the carriage.

After Qingqing and the other person walked away, Zongzheng Xiaoting watched the chief guard and imperial physician Yuan Xian approaching.

"Your humble servant greets the princess." Yuan Xian saluted to Zong Zheng Xiaoting.

"General Yuan, there is no need to be so polite." Zong Zheng Xiaoting waved his hand.

"I wonder if the princess is feeling unwell?" Yuan Xian asked worriedly, his eyes occasionally glancing at Qingqing who was walking away.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head, "I'm just a little tired and want to take a rest. The maids have something to do, and I want them to adjust their mood. Qingqing and the others have gone far away, and I'm worried, so please follow them, General."

"This..." Yuan Xian hesitated and frowned tightly.

"Don't worry, General. I'm here, and the imperial physician and guards are here too, so there won't be any trouble. Qingqing had contact with the general before, so with the general taking care of her, I can rest assured and have a rest." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said to Yuan Xian with understanding.

Yuan Xian looked at the deputy guard Wei Zixin, who nodded, and then he respectfully bowed to Zong Zheng Xiaoting and chased after Qingqing. Doctor Chen saw this and said to Zong Zheng Xiaoting, "Princess, please go to the front and rest for a while. I will take your pulse."

"Okay." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded and walked straight to a place not far away. Wei Zixin also followed closely behind Doctor Chen.

After leaving the guard circle, Wei Zi looked at Doctor Chen with suspicion, but saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting said softly: "General, don't worry. Since Doctor Chen followed me out of the palace, he is not someone who cannot be trusted. Moreover, many things that I will do next will require the help of Doctor Chen."

"Yes!" Wei Zixin nodded, turned his back to Zongzheng Xiaoting, and pointed at the guards in front of him, "Princess, do you see these guards?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked in the direction of Wei Zixin and shook his head. "Aren't all these guards the same?"

"It's the same. Princess, you just need to remember that anyone with a mole behind the ear and whose left thumb rests on the raised joint of the right index finger when the princess salutes can be trusted. If their nails leave a mark on the joint, they are suspicious and need to pretend to be deaf and dumb." Zongzheng Xiaoting frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes. "A mole behind the ear, such a coincidence, isn't it dangerous?"
