The ground, made of fine white jade, shone with a warm light. Within the hall, the ceiling was made of sandalwood, and there was a curtain made of pearls.
Song Que picked up the jade stick on the side and gently lifted up the black cloth. Even the patterns on the cloth were embroidered with golden threads. Only after opening it did he see that it was a Luminous Pearl.
Without the black cloth covering it, the Night Pearls hanging in the middle emitted a blinding light, covering the candles. It was as if the entire room was filled with daylight.
All the treasures in this room were completely displayed, shining brightly under the light of the Night Pearls.
Meng Zixian's eyes were wide open. She was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She couldn't wait to throw herself on the pile of jade bottles and tools. When she left, her bag was full and her back was full.
Seeing her appearance, the woman's usually dull eyes suddenly lit up and her face turned pale. Because of her excitement, her face turned pink and she looked very delicate. She couldn't help but chuckle.
When Meng Zixian heard his laughter, she turned her head to look at his jade-like face. The young master was handsome, and the beautiful woman was tempted. She quickly turned her head to look off to the side.
When he thought about how she was still angry at him for what he had done to her, his face immediately became serious. He suppressed the unexplainable throbbing, coughed twice, and pretended to be serious.
It must be because there were too many treasures that he was so excited, thought Meng Zixian.
Song Que felt that acting was very funny and knew that Meng Zixian was angry at him for questioning her that day and even beating her up.
"Miss Meng is magnanimous. She is definitely not a person who cares about trivial things."
Meng Zixian looked up at him, but said nothing.
Song Que walked into a pile of treasures and searched for a while. He took out a knife. Meng Zixian saw it and his eyes widened. He wanted to reach out and grab it, but was barely able to hold it back.
"Today, other than those necessary large objects, you can choose three of the treasures in here for yourself."
Meng Zixian's heart was like fireworks as she said awkwardly, "What are you doing? Do you want to apologize?" I don't eat this. "
"Then you don't want it? "Alright, we can leave now." Song Que saw that her heart was itching and had to pretend to be calm. He felt that this person was like a leopard cat. He had a big temper and was also very proud.
It was hard to deal with stubbornness.
"In the future, before I do anything, I will definitely check and not wrongly accuse you again."
Song Que lowered his posture and nodded his head. Although this apology was very tactful, it was still an apology.
Meng Zixian heard this and knew that this was Song Que's best apology. Half of her anger was gone. The other half was naturally to be filled with treasures.
Seeing her soften up, Song Lianhe handed her the treasured blade in his hand. Seeing that she was holding it, he took it out and looked at it. The blade shined with a cold light, it was extremely terrifying.
"I have to choose between the two."
Song Que and Meng Zixian seemed to have liberated themselves as they walked around the room, looking for treasures that matched their eyes.
Soon enough, she caught sight of a bracelet. This bracelet was made of beads intertwined together. What she saw was that each jade had a small person carved on it. Each of them was different, and the strength of one's heart was also hard to come by.
Song Que stood quietly at the side with his hands behind his back. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. Under the light of the luminous pearls, his appearance was as smooth as jade and incomparably handsome.
Meng Zixian inadvertently looked into his eyes, and their gazes met. Meng Zixian's heart thumped, and her face flushed.
Song Que's smile was like mist. She wanted to see it clearly, but she stood up and stared for a few seconds. When she reacted, she was already walking towards Song Que.
Song Que didn't know what she was doing and looked at her in confusion.
When she realized that she just wanted to get close to Song Que, she shuddered and felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly shook her head and threw away the strange thought, strongly implying that she was troubled by the lack of treasures.
She ran towards the pile of treasures behind Song Qi River, pretending to be looking for it.
There was only one treasure left, how could Meng Zixian not want it? After a long time, she still couldn't find it, so she could only give up.
"Can I save what I didn't get this time until the next time?" Meng Zixian tried to make a deal.
Song Que saw that she was smiling like a cunning leopard cat and this didn't offend him, so he agreed.
"What did you hear last time in Consort Rong's sleeping quarters?"
Song Que changed the topic too quickly and too abruptly, which made Meng Zian surprised.
Meng Zixian held the knife in her hand and the beads in her hand. She suddenly felt as if her skin was being burned by iron, and the beads reached all the way to her heart.
No wonder he treated her so well tonight. No wonder he accepted all her requests. No wonder …
So there was a purpose.
Meng Zixian stopped smiling and said blandly, "I've searched every suspicious person one by one and got the knockout drugs from the concubine."
Song Que didn't notice Meng Zixian's mood and just wanted to get the information he wanted.
Meng Zixian's face was serious as she said, "This knockout drug is called Heart Cleansing Powder. If you take a little bit of it, it will make you faint. A lot of it will kill you."
"One night, when I was following her, she went over to Imperial Concubine Rong's place. Both of them investigated her and only then did they find out about it."
Song Que's expression was solemn and serious. He seemed to have thought of something: "Did they mention Gu Jing City?"
Some time had passed. Meng Zixian frowned and thought deeply. After a while, she nodded: "They have indeed fought against Gu Jing City."
"But I did investigate that neither of them appeared on Hunting Day."
"Can't they send someone to do it?"
It seemed like the reason they wanted to kill Gu Jing City was because of the concubines and the ministers that had entered the forest.
The only consorts who survived that day were her and someone from the Huai clan. All the other consorts had died in the jungle.
The two of them probably thought of the same person and looked at each other. Song Qi said, "I will investigate the people outside, go check on the Venerable One."
Meng Zijing suddenly felt a trace of unease in his heart. Although he hadn't interacted much with her, these few times they had met, he felt that she was actually simple and cute. Her goal was clear, to go to a higher position, for her family.
Then, was it possible for her to do something that she had never dared to do for her family?
Is there a connection, then, between the nobility and concubines or concubines?
Meng Zixian suddenly felt a pain in her head, and the more she thought about it, the more complicated it became.
"After I open the door, you can leave and return to your room as soon as possible."
After giving the next mission, Song Que and Meng Zixian left. Before leaving, he gave her a bottle of pills.
Meng Zixian held the bottle in her hand and flew back. The bottle in her hand was the antidote. It felt like she was holding a ball of fire that burned the palm of her hand.
After all, she was just a chess piece.
