One month later
Zongzheng Xiaoting and Gongsun Zixing were discussing a makeover in a teahouse near the capital of Yunguang Kingdom when the waiter of the teahouse came in hurriedly and said, "Young Master, it's bad. Prince Zhan's people are already heading towards the teahouse."
"What's going on?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the solemn expression on Gongsun Zixing's face and frowned slightly.
Over the past month, the two of them have been walking around and stopping here and there without staying in one place for too long. He just thought that Gongsun Zixing was eager to take him to see his various industries, just like the ancient people who were eager to seek talents. However, the tone of this guy and the expression on Gongsun Zixing's face just didn't look right.
"It's Situ Xunxiao indeed. He's so clever and still managed to find me." Gongsun Zixing praised and sighed, "Come with me first, I'll tell you later."
After spending more than a month together, the two of them were like good friends who had known each other for many years, with a tacit understanding. Before Gongsun Zixing finished speaking, Zong Zheng Xiaoting had already stood up and hurried away with his steps.
As soon as Zong Zheng Xiaoting left, Situ Xunxiao's men quickly appeared in the teahouse. However, after searching the teahouse from top to bottom, they could not find the person they were looking for.
Phantom watched his master come out in person, and quietly stayed aside. In the past month, it was not only their secret guards who were searching for the princess's whereabouts. The prince's anger had never subsided. Every time he heard about the second princess, he would lead the troops in person. He even directly disobeyed the emperor and never returned to the capital, nor cared about the army, on the grounds that the princess was being hunted down and hurt his reputation.
At this moment, the news had already spread all over Kyoto.
It is said that during the trip to Luozha Kingdom, the God of War Prince met the Second Princess by chance, they had a very pleasant conversation and decided to spend their lives together.
It is said that at the marriage banquet, the Crown Prince and the Second Princess of Tianxi Kingdom fell in love with each other, but the God of War Prince drew his sword to steal her love, which is why she disappeared. In fact, she was secretly taken to Tianxi Kingdom by someone.
The rumors became more and more intense as the days passed.
The prince, however, indeed showed too many things that he had never done before. Although he did not know what the specific connection between the prince and the second princess of Luozha Kingdom was when he was betrayed by a traitor and was in danger in the palace of Luozha Kingdom, there was one thing that was beyond doubt, that was the connection that night, which had unknowingly penetrated the prince's cold heart.
Situ Xunxiao glanced around, his whole body was cold, and he squeezed out a few words, "Continue to chase."
Then, the waiter of the teahouse watched the large group leave one after another and gradually disappear from sight.
Gongsun Zixing, who had left through the back door not long ago, returned to the teahouse with Zongzheng Xiaoting.
In the teahouse, Zong Zheng Xiaoting sipped his tea and said, "Brother Zixing, you already knew that Situ Xunxiao was following me?"
Gongsun Zixing just nodded slightly, his slender fingers gently clasping the table to calm his slightly fluctuating emotions, "That night, we happened to leave, and early in the morning, Situ Xunxiao came to guard Yingxue Mountain Villa, so when we arrived at Qian Manor as our first stop, I received the housekeeper's secret letter."
"In other words, he has been chasing me since a month ago?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting said with his eyes wide open, his brows tightly furrowed. This shouldn't be the case. Why would Situ Xunxiao suddenly pursue me so relentlessly?
Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting's confusion, Gongsun Zixing handed her the housekeeper's letter and said, "Xiaoting, this is the housekeeper's letter. I have been hiding it because I am worried that you will be restrained from pursuing freedom because of other people."
Looking at the letter that was handed over, Zong Zheng Xiaoting pursed his lips and said nothing. His tightly furrowed brows became even more furrowed because of the content of the letter.
So that's how it is. No wonder it happened so quickly and aggressively.
The worry between Zong Zheng Xiaoting's brows made her look gloomy.
"Don't worry. It is said that Situ Xunxiao only said he was being hunted and escaped. All of you in Luozha country are safe and sound." Gongsun Zixing hurried to comfort Zongzheng Xiaoting, thinking that he was worried that he had implicated his servants.
However, Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head slowly.
"Brother Zixing, you don't know something." Zongzheng Xiaoting took a long breath, "What I'm afraid of is not that Situ Xunxiao knows my true identity, but that he will exaggerate this excessive coincidence."
Meeting Gongsun Zixing's puzzled gaze, Zongzheng Xiaoting said, "In fact, the reason why Situ Xunxiao mistook me for my maid Qingqing was all because of a misunderstanding. That night, he sneaked into the palace and was seriously injured. He accidentally entered my Cuiyun Palace. It happened that I was in a restless mood that night, so I was wearing casual clothes and met him who was mistaken for an assassin. My intuition told me that I was the real assassin. He told me that he was not a poor, vicious, and evil person, but in order to escape the marriage, I had long thought that this assassin who looked rich or noble could be blackmailed, so I opened my mouth and confronted him. However, I didn't know that the special eyes would be so unique and have a reputation of being a demon. And he also mistook me for a palace maid. "
Zong Zheng Xiaoting sighed and briefly told her about the various plans he and his maid Qingqing had made in order to choose the path of marriage.
After listening to Zongzheng Xiaoting's words, Gongsun Zixing raised his eyebrows and said affirmatively: "If that's the case, plus you showed your deep affection for me after meeting Situ Xunxiao, and after he caught your maid, all the truth will be revealed. I'm afraid that in his heart, he will think that your blackmail and life-saving grace at the beginning were just acting from beginning to end!"
"This is what I'm worried about." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded. She knew very well that a lonely prince who did not trust others easily, in his affection for her, contained more cautious trust. Once such trust was discovered to be a lie, great anger would follow.
"Now, you can't go back." Gongsun Zixing said firmly.
"Or, I should leave alone. If this anger spreads, it will have a great impact on Brother Zixing!"
Gongsun Zixing waved his hands and said, "You are wrong about this. Although I am not a member of the royal family, the Yunguang Kingdom is still wary of me. If you leave Yingxue Villa, you will be in real danger."
"But..." Before Zong Zheng Xiaoting could finish her words, a burst of noise interrupted their conversation.
With a "bang", the door was kicked open.
