Chapter 97: Complications



At this moment, the envoy of Luozha Kingdom rushed in, saw Zongzheng Xiaoting and Situ Xunxiao sitting in the hall, and knelt down in a hurry.

"Your servant greets the Second Princess and the Prince."

"Get up." Zong Zheng Xiaoting replied softly. After the person raised his head and thanked him for getting up, Zong Zheng Xiaoting realized that it was someone from the empress's palace.

Situ Xunxiao looked at the person who came and spoke slowly: "Does your emperor have something to convey?" When Situ Xunxiao said this, Zongzheng Xiaoting couldn't help frowning.

He secretly guessed that this person was an envoy from the Luoshan Kingdom, and that it should not be Situ Xunxiao who should be asking the questions. However, he said this with such confidence. Did he do something?

Sure enough, following the visitor's reply, Zong Zheng Xiaoting understood.

"In reply to Prince Zhan, our emperor has a message for you, and there is also an envelope, which he has asked me to give to the princess." The man bowed respectfully and answered, "After the emperor receives the letter from you, I will just pass on a message to you."

"Oh?" Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows and motioned the visitor to continue.

At Situ Xunxiao's signal, the other party slowly said, "I know exactly what happened in the case of using a knife to kill someone. I will leave my daughter to you, Prince!"

The messenger's words made Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but secretly curse: This damn Situ Xunxiao actually made preparations in advance. Just by listening to the emperor's words, he could already guess that what he said in the letter must be to clarify the pros and cons and point out the unclear things between himself and the emperor of Yunguang Kingdom.

Zong Zheng Wei Mo was not a fool. He only needed one letter to understand in his heart that the assassination was not for the benefit of Situ Xunxiao. While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is unaware of the situation behind it. As for Situ Xunxiao's status in Yunguang Kingdom, Zong Zheng Wei Mo, as a king, would understand even more clearly that the emperor of Yunguang Kingdom must want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Zong Zheng Weimo, who understood the king's heart and the actual ability of the God of War, would naturally weigh the pros and cons and entrust himself to someone who was worthy of trust.

However, if this happened, then he, Situ Xunxiao, would be tied to him forever.

A word of entrustment may seem simple, but it encompasses so many things.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned tightly, this entrustment came from the emperor's mouth, and the entrustment between the two countries, between the foreign emperor and the prince, was actually a tacit cooperative relationship.

This tacit understanding is, on the one hand, a father entrusting his daughter to someone for protection, and on the other hand, it is his promise to give Situ Xunxiao strong support.

Although Situ Xunxiao may not necessarily need the support of Luozha State, since he took such action after escorting his people to report the assassination, it proves that Situ Xunxiao is not willing to be an enemy of Luozha State for the time being.

Now, with Zong Zheng Weimo's words, he must protect himself well, which means that it will be even more difficult to escape again! Because they will only think that the assassin will be more cautious and more unclear, and to protect themselves, they must increase the intensity of care.

What should I do if complications arise?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help rubbing his brows. It was like adding insult to injury.

"Well, I understand." Situ Xunxiao spoke in a low voice, not hurriedly or slowly: "Tell your emperor that even without his request, I will definitely protect my wife and make her safe."

"Yes!" The messenger nodded and saluted to Zong Zheng Xiaoting. "Princess, the emperor is worried about your safety and has issued an order that all the people brought by General Yuan Xian will be included in the princess's dowry and will be at the princess' disposal until she is safe."

Sure enough, it is not just that! Zong Zheng Xiaoting had a headache. Being pampered is not necessarily a good thing sometimes. The ancients were right. Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Isn't this the case now?

Situ Xunxiao alone is already difficult enough to deal with, and now there is Yuan Xian as well. Now, I am really overwhelmed.

When he realized that everyone's eyes were on him, Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded stiffly, "Okay, this way, I won't be left alone. Are my father and mother all right?"

"In reply to the princess, be well together. The emperor and empress are just worried about the princess." said the messenger.

"You just said that the emperor father has a letter for me?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked softly, "I remember that you are someone close to the queen mother. Does the queen mother and the mother concubine have something for you to convey?"

"yes!"

Zongzheng Xiaoting nodded and called out, "Qingqing!"

"The servant is here!"

"Take them to me for a talk." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up gracefully, without even looking at Situ Xunxiao or saying hello, and left.

Inside the house, there were only a lot of people feeling uncomfortable.

The atmosphere became unusually cold, and Chen Xianzhi was the first to speak: "Your Highness, the princess has just returned. I am afraid that she is in poor health due to the busy travels these days. I will take my leave first, so as not to delay the princess's pulse and breathing."

Situ Xunxiao looked at Chen Xianzhi silently for a long time before nodding silently.

On the other side, the envoy who was brought to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's courtyard kowtowed hurriedly, "Your servant greets the princess, may the princess be well!"

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, no need to be polite." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the person who had performed countless great formalities and waved his hand.

"Yes! Princess, this is a letter from the emperor to you." A secret letter appeared in front of Zong Zheng Xiaoting. It was sealed with a fiery red lacquer seal, which made Zong Zheng Xiaoting frown.

Is there anything so urgent that this is necessary?

Qingqing accepted the letter at Zong Zheng Xiaoting's nod.

"I'm curious, why are you the one delivering the letter?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting said slowly, "It's not the right person to come for such an important matter."

"What the princess said is true. Originally, it was indeed not the servant who should have come. However, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine both cried to the emperor and told him how much they missed the princess. No matter what, they were worried about other people coming. They thought that other people might endanger the princess. The emperor was so suspicious that he could do nothing about it."

so it is!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his lips, "Then, the Queen Mother and the Concubine must have something to say?"

"Yes! Princess, the Queen and the Royal Consort have told you to do what you want and not to rely on them. They will definitely not be a burden to you. As long as you believe in this, they can be worry-free and not have their plans disrupted by you."

"What else?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned. Why did he feel like there was something else behind these words?

"Reply Princess, no more!"

no?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed, "I know, you go back and tell my mother, I will obey."

"Then I will take my leave and go back to report."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded, but his brows furrowed even tighter.
