Now that the emperor was old, it was hard to say when the wind would blow him away.

Song Chongjing was a wise man, he would not waste any more time here.

Hearing her words, Lu Ming frowned, shook his head, and said: "Royal Concubine, you don't understand anymore."

She looked at him strangely. "What don't you understand? Could it be that there's something more to this?"

Xi Mengyao said, and also quieted down, and looked at him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming decided to keep his in suspense.

Seeing him like that, Xi Mengyao said somewhat disinterestedly: "Are you going to say it or not, or else I'll leave."

Seeing that he was really about to leave, Lu Ming hurriedly pulled her back, "Esteemed wangfei, where are you going? Do you intend to climb over the wall like this?"

It was already past noon, so Song Chongjing must have already woken up.

"If they knew that you were not here, they would most likely be enraged." Lu Ming said absentmindedly.

After Xi Mengyao heard this, he also sneered: "What's there to be angry about? He has so many good things to do every day, you can just go and enjoy your life, what does that have to do with me?"

Xi Mengyao had never tied the two of them together, but up till now, she still felt that she was just taking a break and found a good place to stay.

Seeing her attitude, Lu Ming smiled slightly and shook his head, "Royal Concubine … Don't you think that the Prince is actually interested in you? "

Xi Mengyao had only spoken a few sentences before, but now, all that was left was a cold smile.

Song Chongjing obviously had intentions for her, but it was just a show of force.

"I am not in the mood to participate in your struggle. Don't talk about these things again in the future. This time, I will just treat it as listening to gossip and allowing you to speak a few more words. Don't misunderstand. "If you want to bring me into your camp, then you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."

Lu Ming looked at her in astonishment. He already couldn't count the number of times he had shook his head, so he said helplessly: "Esteemed wangfei, I didn't think that you would be able to have such an occasion even though you look so smart and shrewd …"

Xi Mengyao was confused, she did not understand what the man was trying to say.

At this time, Lu Ming sighed and said, "Actually..."

As he said that, he raised his head to see Xi Mengyao staring at him blankly. Her usual arrogant look had also softened a bit.

Even though she was wearing a mask, she could clearly see her emotions through her eyes.

In fact, he had never understood why Xi Mengyao was always like this, like a hedgehog ready to kill its enemy at any time.

If she made it clear, she was afraid …

Lu Ming thought for a while, but still swallowed his words in the end. He only looked at Xi Mengyao and sighed, "Esteemed wangfei, I don't know if there are some who have no real power, but their words are far more useful than a general."

Which of these Pavilion Elders had not gone through hundreds of battles since the start of the dynasty and were still able to retain their dignity? Only these few were the true pillars.

If he could get their hopes up, he would have a Gold Medallion that could save him from death. The future would be just around the corner.

It didn't matter if he couldn't win them over. These old officials were only vassals, and would never do anything that went against the will of others.

However, if the person they supported was their enemy, then that person would likely never have any hope in his life.

Listening to his bland analysis, Xi Mengyao finally understood.

"So that's the case, no wonder this Third Prince spent so much effort to see such a drama of rushing into the Dragon King's Temple."

God knows what Song Qian was thinking, it could be said that he had gotten involved with Song Chongjing.

Her arrangement this time, would probably lower the expectations of those people towards Song Chongjing.

"But he still has his reservations, so he might as well start on me. This unexpected disaster of mine is really unjust. If what you said was true, they should be aware of your Duke's intentions. For the sake of our nation's affairs, they shouldn't be too against Song Chongjing. "

However, Lu Ming shook his head and laughed, "This is not against our prince, but against you. This time, they are all here for you, didn't you notice? "

"I'm just a appetizer." Xi Mengyao did not believe that he could not see through this kind of thing.

"No, you are indeed the purpose." However, Lu Ming persisted.

"However," he said, but turned his head to look. "I'm afraid this time, someone has thrown a stone at me to find the way, and someone is following me. However, it is still unknown whether or not this can be used as a snipe against a clam. "

Xi Mengyao looked at him, this person always had the appearance of a noble son, as though everything was within his expectations, but she really did not like it.

Smart people always do smart things, but they also have the same problem of treating everyone as a fool.

If he really was a fool, then so be it.

However, she was not. She did not like the feeling of being hidden from others, but she was helpless as she did not know the situation of the court. No matter how skilled she was, she could not use an empty pot to cook rice.

However, she really didn't like to show weakness. She gritted her teeth and thought for a while.

Lu Ming seemed to be able to tell, so he said from the side, "Princess, could it be that you didn't see that there were only two people playing chess this time?"

Xi Mengyao frowned, she then looked towards the guard who was walking further and further away.

After thinking about the previous scene, he suddenly understood. "No wonder they say that it's hard to tell the truth from the lie. It seems they know their way around."

Seeing this, Xi Mengyao thought about what the servant had said and adding on the recent events, she more or less understood what was going on.

"Could it be that my cheap father has caused some trouble, or that Xi Mengge is lonely again?" When she said this, it was filled with ridicule.

Judging from her actions, it was very likely that she had a knife in her hand right now, so she would immediately throw it at the crowd.

Lu Ming was also surprised to hear her tone.

He knew that Xi Mengyao was not one of those calm and composed young masters and mistresses, but he never thought that she would be so ruthless.

It's just that, seeing that Xi Mengyao was looking at him, he could only shake her head and say, "Actually, this is not really a big deal. My guess is that someone wants to take this opportunity to push out some of the things they have done."

After Xi Mengyao heard this, she turned and looked at him: "Mr. Lu, it seems like you know a lot about my affairs."

"It is indeed up to you to judge whether you know clearly or not. I do know what is going on if it is related to the sequence of events. However, if there is a connection between feelings, I do not understand it."

Lu Ming said as he took a step back.

If Xi Mengyao was able to clearly see the big picture in front of her, she knew that if she could not handle it on her own, she would definitely turn back.

This way, he would have the capital to do so.

"What do you mean by that? Earlier, you clearly called me 'wangfei', and now that you see me in trouble, you're prepared to sit on the side and watch."

Xi Mengyao asked in surprise, but seeing that the other party did not answer, she sighed.
