"General, do you know who sent these secret spies?"

Yuan Xian shook his head and said, "I don't dare to make trouble, so I came here to ask the princess for instructions."

"So, General, who do you think these people are? Are they a threat to us?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting took the teacup from Qingqing, took a sip, and then turned to Qingqing: "Give General Yuan a seat."

"Thank you, Princess." Yuan Xian glanced at Qingqing and nodded slightly.

However, this small action was seen by Zongzheng Xiaoting, and the smile on his face became even deeper. Judging from the situation, it seems that love is unrequited.

After Qingqing moved the chair aside, she respectfully stepped aside to Yuan Xianfu without exchanging any glances. At this moment, Zongzheng Xiaoting also saw the disappointment in Yuan Xian's eyes.

It seems that Yuan Xian has some feelings for Qingqing.

"What does General Yuan think?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked.

"Yes!" Yuan Xian was urged by Zong Zheng Xiaoting again, and finally came to his senses. "So far, nothing unusual has been found. It's just that they come closer at night, and when we walk during the day, they retreat and follow us secretly."

"In other words, it's just spying, and there's no bad intention?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked after taking a glance.

Yuan Xian was silent for a long time before he said cautiously, "I am not sure about this, so please tell me, Princess, whether I need to find out more."

"If we set off tomorrow without any delay, when can we reach the capital of Yunguang Kingdom?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not answer, but asked other questions.

"It will still take ten days!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded and said, "Then please be more careful these days, General, and don't make any surprises."

"What do you mean, Princess?"

"I think the relationship between the Emperor of Yunguang Kingdom and Prince Zhan is just as rumored. These people are just monitoring and have no intention of breaking the rules. Maybe they were sent by Prince Zhan or the King of Yunguang Kingdom to protect them."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I have to be even more cautious." Yuan Xian stood up and saluted Zong Zheng Xiaoting with a serious face. "If that's the case, then these people in the dark are here to protect the princess. If so, the princess's situation is indeed dangerous."

"The general is indeed smart and understands things immediately. Thank you for your help these days, General Yuan." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and nodded approvingly towards Yuan Xian.

"Yes! I will take my leave!"

"Qingqing, see General Yuan off." Zong Zheng Xiaoting instructed.

"Yes!" Qingqing bowed and accompanied Yuan Xian as they retreated.

However, after a short while, Qingqing hurried back.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qing Qing and smiled faintly, "Why are you sending someone off so quickly?"

Qingqing pouted when she heard that, saying unhappily, "I hate that face the most. He always makes fun of me. I don't want to see him even for a moment."

"Oh?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows. "It seems that our Qingqing has some complaints. I see that General Yuan looks at Qingqing differently."

"Princess, what are you talking about?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes were full of smiles, and he teased, "How come I don't know that there is such a great hatred between you two?"

"Princess!" Qingqing stomped her feet in anger.

"Haha, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Instead, what's going on between you and Yuan Xian? I'd like to know more about it. I'm afraid it will be helpful for Ningshuang's arrangements and our strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west after we leave." Zong Zheng Xiaoting waved at Qingqing.

Qingqing obediently walked to Zongzheng Xiaoting's side and told her master everything without missing a word.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting listened to Qingqing's words, but the smile on his face never faded.

Qingqing looked at the princess's expression and pouted, "Princess... Qingqing has said it, so why don't you speak? You are not lying to Qingqing, are you?"

"I just think that you can't judge a person by his appearance. General Yuan seems to be upright, but he actually has such a cynical side. And as Fu Jieyu's cousin, he is also so upright, but he doesn't stick to the palace rules and makes expediency, which surprises me."

"Then..." Qingqing pursed her lips, "Then Princess, can I help you with what you want to do?"

"Of course there is." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's lips curved upward with joy, "This time, we can really kill two birds with one stone."

Kill two birds with one stone? Qingqing blinked in confusion.

Seeing Qingqing's expression, Zongzheng Xiaoting also felt much better. He held Qingqing's hand and slowly walked out of the inner room. "If General Yuan didn't find the secret guards, then our whereabouts due to the fire would definitely attract Yuan Xian to pursue us. Moreover, in the future, if we want to restore our identities, I'm afraid this excuse will be hard to convince people. But now, General Yuan has found the secret guards and has also noticed Wu Bugui's intentions. Then, if we leave due to the fire, he will wonder why the people in the dark didn't lend a hand."

"But Princess, aren't we going to give you drugs?" Qingqing reminded.

"That's why General Yuan arrived just in time." Zong Zheng Xiaoting paused. "Everyone was unconscious, but the fire broke out. Whether it was our soldiers or the guards protecting the perimeter, they were all drugged. So, Qingqing, what do you think a normal person would guess? What would General Yuan think?"

"This..." Qingqing frowned and thought about it over and over again.

If I were Yuan Xian, then I would make my own guess based on the conversation I had with the princess just now!

Qingqing's eyes widened as she whispered, "Princess, what you mean is that General Yuan will suspect that someone in Yunguang Kingdom doesn't want the princess to marry and that's why they poisoned and set fire to the place?"

"Not bad!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded.

"If that's the case, then General Yuan will definitely chase after Yunguang Kingdom to get the princess, and the princess will be able to escape more smoothly?"

"Not only that." Zong Zheng Xiaoting laughed softly, "I can ask Wei Zixin to help me act out a play."

"Acting?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting whispered a few words in Qingqing's ear, and Qingqing nodded solemnly and walked out of the courtyard.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked up at the darkening sky and sighed deeply. As long as tomorrow passed, he would be free.

If it weren't for Yuan Xian, I really would have been at a loss for what to do with Ning Shuang. In this way, I can make other arrangements. I just need to wait until tonight, when the effect of the medicine wears off, and then have Wei Zixin take Ning Shuang away, and then arrange for people to hunt her down, so that I can create an illusion and take Ning Shuang away. When the time is right, I just need to arrange for Ning Shuang to hide, and Wei Zixin can also find a chance to return to the palace and help the Queen's concubine.

Thinking about tomorrow's freedom, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stretched his waist happily, stretched his muscles and bones, and secretly told himself that he would be free soon.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his head and stroked the white jade bracelet in his hand. He secretly used force to hold the jade bracelet tightly. Soon, he would be able to search carefully.
