Chapter 155 The Princess's Words
Zong Ning held Zong Si's hand tightly, afraid that he would leave. When she saw that he had no intention of leaving, she reached out and wiped away her tears.
"Brother Three, are you going to buy your own mansion?" she asked.
Zong Si said calmly: "Now that I am not married yet, I naturally cannot move out of the palace." And the title of the prince is still with him, so it is not convenient for him to leave the palace.
Now that I have returned to the capital, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the people in the palace. It would not be a wise move if the internal strife in the palace were to surface.
For now, Zong Si has to ensure that the power in his hands is safe.
Otherwise, getting married is not easy at all.
If he wants to marry Ningfu, he has to keep the position of the Crown Prince's Consort. Although she is not the Queen, she still has some status.
When Zong Ning heard the words "not yet married", she couldn't help but look at Lu Xingzhi. Now Sister Ning was snatched away by him.
Lu Xingzhi looked at Zong Ning with calm eyes.
"Sanlang is back." Princess Xuan also hurried over at this time. When she saw Zong Si, although she was not as out of control as Zong Ning, her eyes also turned red.
Zong Si said calmly: "Mother."
Princess Xuan was naturally heartbroken. She knew very well the suffering her son had endured. Her husband might have done it for the palace, but Dalang definitely did not think so. Parents always make plans for their children, and now that Dalang's son is no longer a child, she is probably also considering her son.
She had a thousand things to say, but she didn't know where to start.
"It's good that you're back." In the end, Princess Xuan said this with tears and a smile.
However, she had to consider the dignity of the palace, so even if she hated Dalang to the core, she couldn't show it.
Princess Xuan knew that her son was back now and everyone was watching him, so he couldn't make any mistakes.
"Third brother, mother has always been thinking about you." Zong Ning was eagerly trying to build a good relationship between his third brother and mother.
Zong Si thought of Ning Fu's repeated warnings and instructions. If he was more enthusiastic, he might get a different result. Zong Ning was a precedent. He took the initiative to say, "Son, don't blame mother."
Zong Si never blamed Princess Xuan, but because she treated Zong Ting like her own son, he didn't know how to get along with her.
As a son, he naturally couldn't just ignore his mother's behavior of favoring outsiders.
Princess Xuan glanced at Zongduo and said, "Come with me."
When Lu Xingzhi saw the princess looking at Zongduo, he knew what was going on. Zongduo and Zong Ting were brothers from the same father and mother. It would be inconvenient to mention Zong Ting's affairs in front of him.
In his previous life, he had a rift with Princess Xuan because she defended Zong Ting. Add to that his naturally cold personality, and the fact that they had no chance to contact each other again and again made it naturally difficult for him to untie the knot in his heart.
Later, after the princess interceded for Zong Ting, their relationship became even more distant.
"Mr. Lu, please go home early today. Now that my brother is back, he has important things to do." Zong Ning didn't like him very much because he stole her sister-in-law.
Lu Xingzhi smiled and teased her deliberately, "Miss Ning, you are like this, maybe you are resentful that the fourth lady got engaged to me."
He always looked like he didn't care much about anything, but when he smiled now, it made people feel as if he was bathed in a spring breeze, which was very different from before.
He is also very handsome, no wonder Sister Ning likes him.
Zong Ning was caught on the tail, but she didn't want to lie, so she didn't deny it. She firmly stood with her third brother.
"Your brother, I'm glad you are on his side." Lu Xingzhi spoke slowly again, as if in an endless hell, among the skeletons everywhere, flowers popped up one after another, those little flowers were nymphs, they were Zong Ning, embellishing the hell with vitality.
This world is no longer so bad.
He seemed to be a wandering soul outside of this world, and in a place other than the nymph, he felt a bit of the breath of life.
"I will naturally side with my brother. Even if my brother doesn't forgive me, I will silently protect him in the future." Zong Ning said.
"Guarding silently." Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.
Zong Ning said: "I will be good to Third Brother's wife and children. If Third Brother goes to war in the future, I will take good care of them for him."
Lu Xingzhi thought, she had done it, she was very good to Afu in her previous life.
"Your brother is lucky to have a sister like you." Lu Xingzhi said, "But he thought he was in hell and no longer trusted anyone, so he ignored you."
Zong Ning glared at him: "Mr. Lu, why are you trying to sow discord here?"
Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything else, just looked at her, his eyes seemed to be seeing something through her.
Zong Ning felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, and she no longer had any hostility towards him. She said, "Mr. Lu, do you know how miserable my brother is?" The words "being in hell" made her uneasy.
Lu Xingzhi said: "Now it seems that it is still acceptable."
In fact, if there was a nymph, Zong Si would not be so miserable. From the moment he was rescued by her, he had hope in his heart, so he did not fall into hell.
The attitudes of Zong Ning and Princess Xuan had a greater impact on him, Lu Xingzhi.
…
"I sent someone to bring Zong Ting back to the capital." Princess Xuan spoke after she and Zong Si arrived at Jinghuaju.
Zong Si was silent for a moment, and said: "I naturally recognize the people around my mother." This was to tell Princess Xuan that he had known about this matter for a long time, and if it wasn't for his permission, how could Zong Ting return to the capital.
The reason why he sent the secret guards around his mother was because he was worried that if it were someone else, they might not be able to bring the person back to Zongting.
"I sent people there because I thought you would let him go after seeing my people, and I brought him back because I was afraid that you would execute him in a moment of impulse." Princess Xuan said.
"Since mother is in this position, she naturally has to consider the palace." He said lightly.
"You think I did all this for the palace," Princess Xuan said with a wry smile, "I am worried about you. I already knew that your life was safe, and I was afraid that you would act impulsively and affect your future. After this storm is over and your power is gradually stabilized, no matter how you deal with him, I will applaud you."
Her Sanlang could die for the palace, but he could not be killed by anyone in the palace.
Princess Xuan said, "If you die at his hands, I will definitely let him be buried with you. I also know that it is too late to tell you this now, and you may not believe it."
People who have experienced being stabbed by their relatives will have become numb in the face of their relatives' words, whether true or false, and naturally will not believe them. Otherwise, who can guarantee that they will not be stabbed again? People who have been killed once will always be more vigilant.
If it were Princess Xuan herself, she would also think that this was a strategy to curry favor with him after seeing him return.
There are countless cases of people changing their stance according to the situation in the court and at home, and everyone pretends to be extremely sincere.
Zong Si's eyes flickered, but he said: "It's not too late."
There are still people in this world who are worthy of Zong Si's trust, so his heart is not numb as Princess Xuan thinks.
Princess Xuan was stunned, a little bit unbelievable.
"Back in Huaishuo, the fourth young lady from the Ningguo Mansion risked her life to save me." Zong Si said.
Speaking of nymphs, his whole demeanor softened.
Princess Xuan's eyes became a little more complicated.
Telling her this was probably also to tell her to be prepared for him to insist on this marriage.
"She and Master Lu were married by the emperor himself." Princess Xuan couldn't help but worry.
"So what?" Zong Si said calmly, "I only want her."
