Pretty Consort: Prince, Don’t Run away - C167

When Song Chongjing left the palace, his expression was still not good.

The eunuchs and Palace Maid s that passed by him all had their heads lowered as they hurried past, and no one dared to greet them.

He did not care, he only looked at the endless path in front of him, and felt a chill in his heart, coming from the bottom of his heart, from this beautiful palace.

He didn’t expect that after entering the palace this time, things would turn out this way.

The reason why Song Chongjing came here was also because of what Xi Mengyao had said. He originally wanted to probe out the truth, but didn’t expect that even the matter regarding the rations would be told.

Currently, the Emperor was becoming more and more impolite, not caring about the affairs of the country at all. No one knew who he listened to, only thinking that he was going to recruit soldiers and hire horses.

In this way, it was likely that the matter of the authority being taken down would be repeated soon.

He was not afraid of losing anything. Now that all the important people were by his side, if there was nothing else, he was not afraid. After connecting with the Consort Mother, they could live in seclusion in the mountains and fields.

However, if he had no power or influence, and the generals had no words to say, the soldiers would be in an even worse situation. This general was one of the foundations of the kingdom. It could not be considered a peaceful and prosperous era, much less an era where people could be at ease and enjoy.

The emperor had forgotten about his safety, which made him more and more uneasy.

If someone took the opportunity to attack, their current military strength would not even last half a month. As he thought about it, he felt annoyed. Unfortunately, he didn’t have much to say.

As a result, he couldn’t help but think of Xi Mengyao.

If she was not a woman, but a courtier, able to make decisions and distinguish between right and wrong, debating in the imperial court, she most likely would not have ended up here.

After he thought about it, he let out a helpless and bitter laugh. After all, he was just thinking too much. It was just a woman …

As he thought of this, he shook his head and headed back to his residence.

Xi Mengyao was busy investigating the maids and did not have time to worry about the situation. After Song Chongjing returned to his residence, he only asked a single question, but didn’t say anything.

The two of them had not even met once.

Song Chongjing returned to the study room alone. As he looked at the night sky outside, he could not help but cough, “It’s dinner time, you … Ask the kitchen to make something that the wangfei likes to eat and send it over. ”

“Yes …” The maidservants looked at him in surprise.

However, no one dared to ask. They only looked at each other and shook their heads in surprise.

They sent the things over but Xi Mengyao was not there. There was only Yu Han as a servant in the room.

After this return to her residence, she had always been weighed down with matters of the heart, and didn’t see what Xi Mengyao was doing either. She only stayed by herself in the courtyard to clean up.

But her absent-mindedness, the hammering on the east and the west, coupled with her already somewhat heroic look, made her seem somewhat gloomy.

“I know.” Yu Han said, and only nodded.

This caused the maidservants that wanted to ask a question to restrain themselves.

Yu Han could also tell that she was there, but she didn’t have much to do. She didn’t know what kind of state she was in.

As for the situation over there, she hadn’t completely let go of her hand yet.

She had some difficulties, but she could only bury them deep in her heart and not voice them out loud. Right now, she already had a choice in her heart. She could only feel helpless and didn’t know what to say …

In the end, it was Xi Mengyao who was too scheming, and she couldn’t fool her.

Just as she was thinking about her own matters, Yu Han heard two bangs coming from outside the door, as if someone was knocking on the door.

She turned around and opened the door, only to find that there was no one outside.

She had no choice but to close the courtyard door. When she turned around, she heard two bangs coming from outside the door. She immediately turned around to open the door, but there was still no one there.

There was nothing on the envelope, but it looked like there was something inside. She picked up the envelope, weighed it, and found that it seemed to contain something. She opened it and saw that her face had changed.

She looked around quickly and coughed. She hid the envelope in her chest and went back to her room.

Xi Mengyao was rubbing her temples at this time. She had just returned from the outside and thought that she had done it quickly. But now that she looked at it, the sky had already turned dark.

Just as he was about to go back and rest, a guard called out to him.

“They… They spoke. ” The guard panted as he spoke.

It was unknown what those two felt, but the genius, Hei Zhi, immediately shouted for his guards to pass on the message that they had something to say.

Xi Mengyao originally did not want to personally manage it, so she allowed Lu Ming to go over.

She said that he had gone out to look for something. Xi Mengyao recalled this and could only sigh. This time, she had to ask about it herself.

“Lead the way.” She rubbed her forehead.

When the guard led her into the dungeon, the two men were already kneeling on the ground and crying at her. From the looks of it, they hadn’t eaten for a few days.

It was obviously an act.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao could only mock him coldly, but did not say anything.

At this moment, the two men kneeled on the ground and kowtowed again and again. Only then did they hope for her help. “Princess, we know our wrongs. Now we understand who’s the main force behind this. Please ask whatever you want!”

Xi Mengyao sized them up, and after looking at them for a while, the two seemed to be rather trustworthy.

She had no doubt about him. She moved a stool over so that she could sit beside him. She also did not forget what happened with her clang. She pretended to pour a basin of clear water outside and told them that the medicinal powder had been washed clean.

“However, if you dare to lie again, you must be careful. Next time, I will not give you any more chances! ”

When the two heard this, they nodded their heads as if they believed it.

Xi Mengyao did not know if they heard, but since she said that, she did not plan to be merciful.

As she thought about it, she whispered, “Then tell me about your jar.”

When the two people heard this, they immediately lowered their heads. Their faces were deathly pale and were silent for a moment before they said softly, “Actually, this matter … “Speaking of which, it’s not our fault …”

“Not your fault?” Xi Mengyao found it funny.

Unwilling to, the two of them nodded their heads in all seriousness. Seeing this, Xi Mengyao frowned. “If it really has nothing to do with you guys, why don’t you guys explain it in detail?”

When the two heard this, they said, “Actually, these things were forced on us …”

As the two of them spoke, they looked outside as if they were afraid.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao did not say anything, nor did she console them, she only looked at the two of them carefully.

Seeing that they seemed to be afraid of something, Xi Mengyao thought deeply in her heart.

At that moment, the two men turned around.

One of them kneeled and moved closer to him. “You don’t know that the man in black is not from the Western Regions. They are all from the same small country!”
