Lu Ming's eyes darkened.

It was a pity that such a person was only a young girl. As he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xi Mengyao turned her head to look, and saw his incomparably regretful look. Without even thinking, he knew what he was regretting.

She was very familiar with this expression.

Xi Mengyao didn't wait for him to explain as she shook her head, looking at him with incomparable indifference: "Don't use such a common eye to kidnap me. Even though my current power is insufficient, it doesn't mean that I will be tricked in my entire life just like that."

"The journey of a thousand miles, accumulating into a small footstep, you should know of such a simple principle, right?"

Lu Ming was surprised, and did not speak anymore. He silently looked at Xi Mengyao, and only after a long while did he let out a sigh: "Your Highness is indeed right, you are truly a strange person who exists in this world."

Hearing this, Xi Mengyao did not know how to react.

She couldn't tell if this was praise or sarcasm, so she frowned and said, "Don't tell me you have any complaints?"

Lu Ming hurriedly shook his head, but then he changed the topic: "This subordinate only wants to know, on this matter, what do you need this subordinate's help for?"

Xi Mengyao laughed. She did not dwell on his silence.

She wasn't an arrogant person, but she was confident. She could judge right from wrong, and she knew what the consequences of her actions would be.

Therefore, she didn't care about the gazes of the people around her. Those leftovers were just the flavors of a person's life.

She shifted her gaze to the group of guards that had returned to patrol for some reason.

"I don't really want to fight with others, but there are some people who just barge in because they're blind, so don't blame me for being heartless." Xi Mengyao said, she turned and whispered a few words into Lu Ming's ear.

As Lu Ming listened, he revealed a shocked expression. Then, he looked at Xi Mengyao from head to toe, "Are you sure?"

Xi Mengyao was suspicious: What's wrong with it?

Lowering her head to look at her dressing, she didn't feel that anything was amiss with her.

"However, no matter what, you don't seem to be a person who has connections with the Prince's Mansion." Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before he spoke.

However, Xi Mengyao didn't mind in the slightest: "That's exactly the case, that's why they can be at ease. If they bring someone who is obviously a strategist from Prince Jing's palace over there, even a fool would be able to see that their goal is not pure, no?"

Lu Ming was silent for a long time, before he finally nodded at her, "Princess, you are right. You can do whatever you want."

He then added silently, "I just hope that if this incident happens in the future, you will not implicate me."

"What do you mean?"

Xi Mengyao was unhappy, but after he said that, she looked at the people beside him.

It was only then that she noticed the incongruity. This really did attract quite a bit of attention. She thought for a while, but still held onto her mask, "Don't worry, I'm still wearing my mask. Who would be able to recognize me if I change my clothes?"

Saying that, Xi Mengyao only raised an eyebrow, which was true for Lu Ming, but she knew that changing her clothes was not something that she could do in a short period of time.

It wasn't something they could predict what would happen.

When the two of them reached an agreement, they saw the guards rushing over and welcomed them.

The guard on the other side reprimanded her while walking away, "That person is crying like the rain. It's really hard to bear. I wonder what her master is thinking. He treats her like that."

Xi Mengyao walked over and followed behind Lu Ming, but when she heard this, he could only sneer. She could not bear it any longer, and shouted out loud: "I have not seen anything happen to him, so when you guys say it, don't be afraid of losing your tongue."

When the guard heard this, he immediately raised his head to look.

Before she could say anything, the guards recognized Lu Ming first.

After all, he was the number one advisor of the Prince Jing's Duke Palace, someone who wandered the world outside all year round. Many people might not have seen the Prince Jing personally, but very few people didn't recognize him.

After the man went over, he did not say anything else but merely coughed and asked with a smile, "What happened here?"

The guard looked left and right, then said in a low voice: "May I ask Mister Lu what business do you have here?"

Hearing that, Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, and laughed as he looked at him up and down: "Can't I come over and pay my respects to Third Prince for my master? Our prince is an official in the same court as His Highness, is also a relative, and has also been married recently, how can there be no reason for us not to communicate? "

When the guard heard this, he knew that he had asked unnecessary questions. He coughed and laughed dryly, "Mister, where are your words from? It's just that we don't usually meet, but today, we coincidentally …"

As he was speaking, someone beside him gave him a good kick. The man was about to scold him back when he noticed that the person who kicked him was none other than the head guard. He didn't dare to say anything else and just shrank his neck.

He carefully stepped aside and waited for the head of the guards to pass by.

When the man walked in front of Lu Ming, he was all smiles.

"Mister, it's a shame that you've come today. My prince has taken the imperial concubine out for a stroll."

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao's eyes lit up, she coughed and silently urged Lu Ming, telling him to quickly think of a way to enter.

Lu Ming turned his head and only glanced at them once. He felt a little helpless, but he still turned his head and said: "If that's the case, then I have also come. Since. Since the prince and his wife aren't in the mansion, shouldn't the concubine still be around? "

When the guard heard this, he immediately frowned and shook his head, wishing that he could shake his head off.

"Don't make things difficult for this little one anymore."

"Is this a difficult situation?" However, Lu Ming sneered, "What, do you think that by asking you to invite me over to inform the Third Prince's concubine of your request, you're making it difficult for you? "Could it be that I, Lu, have already reached such a level?"

His tone was stern, as if this was a huge insult.

"It seems like in front of some people, my reputation is far worse than mine." As he spoke, he turned around to leave.

Seeing this, the guard was unwilling to let her go.

If it were anyone else, they would have simply let them go.

However, everyone knew that this Lu Ming had an open mouth, and if anyone was dissatisfied, they would casually say it.

Who knows how his eloquent tongue could have twisted the matter?

If the prince were to suffer a loss, it would be a disaster for his subordinates!

"Wait!" The guard quickly went over and pulled him: "Mister, please don't joke around. If you want to go in, then we will help you inform them."

As he spoke, he turned around and glared at the person behind him.

That person immediately left in a hurry, it seemed like he had gone to inform the others.

The head guard was just leading the way by the side. He purposefully walked very slowly as he said flatly, "It's just that the concubine's health hasn't been good lately. I wonder if she's in a good mood to meet any guests."
