C75 Trying to Hide What You See

When Song Que heard Meng Zixian's words, he changed his mind. He thought that it was reasonable and put it to heart. After he left, he sent someone to investigate.

When he checked, he found out that it was Huai Qingge.

That afternoon, Huai Qingge was the only one who went to Serenity Palace that day. That night, when Huai Qingge was summoned by Consort Jing, Song Qi found out about it.

Song Que did not know why Jingfei had called for Huai Qingge at such a party, but he did not care about that. He was only worried about what Huai Qingge was doing.

He immediately went to the imperial harem to see Consort Jing.

It had been a long time since Jingfei saw Song Que and missed him, but when Song Que came, she said, "Huai, I already know about Meng Zixian's matter."

"Huai Qingge, what exactly happened?"

When Jing Fei heard this, her expression became reserved, but her expression remained unchanged. "Qi He, long time no see. Did you come to ask me about this?"

Song Que immediately realized that he was being too excited and said in a different tone, "Huai Qingge, on the hunting day, I met her with Meng Ziqin."

"I've always suspected her, but because it's true that there's currently no danger, I didn't take her life."

When Jing Fei heard this, she felt much more at ease. With a gentle smile, she replied, "No problem. Huai Zhaoyi was only here that afternoon to ask me some questions on the painting."

Song Que didn't believe it and frowned. Jing Fei walked up and touched the center of his eyebrows: "Qi He, do you not believe me?"

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter."

"I've already found out that it was Magpie who poisoned her. I've already dealt with her." Quiet And Steadfast said.

Song Que wanted to investigate, but Jing Fei stopped him, "Qi He, it's been so long. Don't say anything else, okay?"

Song Que looked at the gentle face of Jing Fei and his heart softened. He nodded.

"I heard that the Emperor wants to go to Jiangning, does he have any plans?"

"The Emperor intends to bring along two concubines and head south together. His original intention was to sightsee, but our original intention was to inspect."

After hearing this, Jingfei probed, "That's right, did the Emperor mention which concubines he would bring along?"

"I don't know. The Emperor's intentions are naturally decided by himself."

"Alright, didn't I say it today? Let's not talk about anything else." Song Que interrupted her. He didn't want to talk anymore.

Jing Fei didn't get the information she wanted. She felt uncomfortable, but she hid it well and didn't say anything else.

The two chatted about other things, they were respectful to each other. Song Que's time was limited, he would leave when the time was up.

Meng Zixian didn't know about what had happened in the dead of night. He slept soundly until dawn.

Ling'er went out early in the morning, slipped around the house, and returned with a lot of information.

"Young master, the emperor is preparing to head to Jiangning."

Meng Zixian received the news and thought for a long moment.

Since Gu Jingyuan wanted to go, as the Prime Minister, Song Qi would very likely arrange for this to happen, and it was very likely that she would follow along as well.

In that case, since there was no king in the country, the Prime Minister would follow His Majesty to Jiangning and could only find a representative to run the country.

The only candidate was Gu Jingyuan.

Meng Zixian was suddenly happy. She thought to herself, "This is a good opportunity. No matter if it's Gu Jing City or Song Qishen, I will make sure that anyone follows me to Jiangning."

"What time? Did you find out? " Meng Zixian smiled and asked Ling'er excitedly.

Ling'er shook her head and immediately said, "Then help me send a message to Song Que. Tell him that I want to meet him."

Ling'er was quick to act. Song Qi had come that night.

When she saw Song Que, she smiled even more amiably than before. She walked up and said, "Master Song ~"

Song Que saw her running over and dodged to the side. He looked at her with disdain: "If you have something to say, say it. Don't be so weird."

She put away her unreliable appearance and solemnly said, "I heard that Gu Jingyuan is going to Jiangning."

"You got the news pretty quickly." Song Que smirked and glared at her.

Meng Zixian had what she wanted, so she didn't blame Song Que for his weird tone. She continued, "Of course. Master Song taught me well, so I made a very good spy."

"Don't be so talkative. It's not confirmed yet. I'll tell you about it later." Just when Song Que was about to leave, someone grabbed his sleeve.

Meng Zi anxiously said, "This time I will let you go. You will definitely tell your men not to tell me about this. If I miss it, you will definitely run away!"

"Let go!" Song Qishen looked at her angrily.

"You want me to stay in this boring palace? I definitely won't allow it!" Meng Zixian grabbed his sleeve, but Song Que held her wrist so tightly that she didn't even let go.

"Promise me that this time, I will definitely go with you!"

Song Que was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he sighed: "Okay, I promise you."

Meng Ziqin was afraid that he would try something funny, "If Master Song doesn't keep his promise and dares to trick me, don't blame me."

She quickly let go and dodged Song Qi's knife, "You still want to hit me? Greetings, Lord Song. Remember to send me a message."

Song Que pointed at him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Meng Zi was in a good mood after receiving her promise. She turned around and went back to her own bed to have a good night's sleep.

In the end, she waited for more than ten days without a single movement. Even Ling'er was unable to find out anything about this matter, and for some reason, the harem didn't mention anything about it.

Meng Zixian didn't believe him. Just as she was about to go to the Jing Lan Palace to ask around, she met Gu Jingcheng on the way.

"King Jing!" What a coincidence. Meng Zixian bowed happily.

"Come in and talk." Gu Jing Cheng looked around cautiously and pointed at his own palace.

Meng Zixian quickly said, "King Jing, about the matter in Jiangning in the south, is there no guarantee?"

Hearing this, Gu Jing Cheng's expression changed a little. Meng Zian quickly said, "Don't try to trick me with Song Que. If I run away, I'll sneak out of the palace and follow you."

Gu Jingcheng heard this and laughed. "I can't hide it from you. Qi He told me to hide it from you before I entered the palace."

Meng Zixian was so angry that her teeth itched. She wanted to fight with Song Qi, but she had been tricked badly.

"Tell me the time, who and what kind of people you are."

"Three days later, I will be guarding the city. I will temporarily take over the government affairs. Qi He will be in charge of security, and the emperor will bring Huai Zhaoyi to protect you."

When it came to Venerable Qi, it was yet another newcomer. This girl was gentle like water, gentle and virtuous, but somehow, Gu Jingyuan liked her.

However, when it came to the women that Gu Jingyuan liked, there were far too many. For these two people to be chosen this time, Huai Qingge was within the selection area. She had expected that this Venerable One must have some sort of scheme that Gu Jingyuan could bring along.

"Thank you, King Jing." Meng Zixian was beaming with happiness as she got the news she wanted.

"That's right, I'll have to trouble you with one thing."

"Speak."

"Don't tell him, I already know."
