"Oh!" What's there to congratulate? " After Song Chongjing heard this, he let out a cold snort. Then, as if he did not hear it clearly, he asked softly.

On the other side, Lu Ming faintly smiled and said: "Congratulations to the Duke for finding a capable assistant."

Lu Ming lowered his head, his attitude extremely devout, and definitely would not reveal the slightest bit of disobedience.

He did not believe that Song Chongjing would not even be able to see through this little bit of his intentions. Only, he knew that there was probably resentment in the Prince's heart.

Just that, even if he said it out, he would not do it too excessively. Lu Ming knew this, and lowered his head, just to let him vent out his anger.

Seeing him like this, Song Chongjing immediately understood in his heart, and he helplessly sighed.

He was also a bit conflicted. He didn't know why these two were like this.

"Actually, I am not planning to suspect you. Merely, you are a capable subordinate of mine, whereas she …"

Saying that, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Even he himself did not know where to place that person. Who could control that lawless woman? However, if it was' concubine ', she …

It was Song Chongjing's first time seeing such a powerless situation.

Hearing his strange pause, Lu Ming slightly raised his head, and saw the dark and bright expression on Song Chongjing's face, and a bitter and bitter feeling arose in his heart, as he faintly smiled.

Then, she said softly, "The wangfei is naturally the prince's good wife. As your subordinate, your subordinate will only defend his duty. "This time, it's only because it's related to the affairs of the Third Prince and the princess' family. At that time, the situation was very urgent and we had no choice but to take care of it. Furthermore, the princess's temper …"

As he spoke, he raised his head to look at Song Chongjing, "I believe that Your Highness understands this more than this humble subject. Princess Hua-Yang is not someone your subordinate can do anything to, so your subordinate didn't waste too much time, and just listened. If Your Highness feels that it's not good, your subordinate will just stop. "

After he said all of this in such a rush, Song Chongjing's heart also became a lot more at ease.

"I'm not asking you to do anything. However, this is a family matter after all. Don't let her be. Otherwise, she will become even more lawless."

As Song Chongjing said this, he felt helpless. When had he ever met such a person? He was even more difficult to deal with than a million strong soldiers.

Lu Ming only smiled faintly.

It was fine if the two of them were to chat, but Song Chongjing and Xi Mengyao had already discussed enough.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Lu Ming quietly retreated.

He descended from the building and looked at the gradually darkening night in the courtyard. A pale desolation gradually rose in his heart.

He didn't know what kind of feeling this was, but he was a little puzzled. He had seen quite a few women in the world, so why did they end up in such a place that they couldn't enter …

As he thought about it, he noticed that a person was sitting next to a willow tree, seeming to be looking at something.

He frowned, upon closer inspection, he realized that it was Xi Mengyao!

She was sitting there, leisurely looking at something. However, there was still a hint of coldness in his eyes.

From the looks of it, they seemed to be monitoring him …

Lu Ming frowned, he did not want to walk over, but the man noticed him first and waved him over.

Lu Ming saw that he could not hide, and could only go over.

After seeing Xi Mengyao, she slightly bowed and asked: "What is the wangfei doing here?"

However, Xi Mengyao shook her head, telling him not to make a sound, and then pointed to the side of the fake mountain in front of him, for him to see.

He looked over and saw a few people there. They were sneaking around. The last person seemed to have just climbed over the corner.

Xi Mengyao saw that he was also frowning, and laughed: "So even you do not know, that this place actually had such a place."

Lu Ming frowned, and nodded his head, he did not know that there was such a gap here.

However, after seeing it, he had the nagging feeling that something was amiss.

He stood outside before he frowned and walked over.

Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, he discovered that a hole had actually been torn through in the wall.

Those people from before must have sneaked over from here …

This place was originally the old garden of the palace. Because the Prince Jing s waged wars outside all year round, they did not often stay here.

It's just that in these few years, the Emperor had the faint intention of withdrawing the military power of the Prince Jing, which was why he was able to come back and rest from time to time.

The consecutive years of war had already made the Duke Palaces accustomed to the comfort of having no one around, and the Prince Jing did not worship luxury either.

At most, they would spend more time and effort on the training grounds and the guards.

In this garden, it was fine as long as they could pass through. After all, there were guards here, so they were not afraid of anything.

Now that they thought about it, they had overlooked the fact that the person might not have attacked forcefully, but rather silently snuck in.

Xi Mengyao saw that he did not speak for a long time, and did not wait for him to say anything, she only sighed and said: "Tell me, this good garden, where you guys do not cultivate yourselves, has become someone else's paradise."

As she spoke, she also yawned and said, "I was planning to go back and rest. I didn't want to see this happen so quickly. I can't help but watch on your behalf."

Xi Mengyao slowly walked forward, while talking, she said something, "Tell me, if this kind of thing is placed here, it wouldn't look good, nor is it useful, and you even brought disaster upon yourself. What does your Duke plan this time, to keep a room full of spies to enjoy herself?"

Hearing that, Lu Ming felt powerless, he could not agree, and had no way to refute, he could only let out a dry laugh.

"This isn't something that can be solved in a day and a night. Your highness will look into it now. I …" Your subordinate also has something he needs to busy himself with. "

"What are you saying? Leave it to him?" Hearing this, Xi Mengyao laughed without restraint.

It was unknown if it was sarcasm or something else, but after she laughed twice, she glanced at Lu Ming indifferently, then shook his head: "That's not what I was saying, you must be a servant here, right? Why are you still being so picky?"

"It's not that this subordinate doesn't care, but after all, this matter is also a matter of the Prince's family. "This matter is of great importance and involves quite a bit. This subordinate is an outsider …"

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao interrupted him without thinking: "What do you mean by domestic affairs, are you not a strategist here, are you not working for him? He hadn't said anything before, but now he was dividing the two sides. "What, does he think that after you lied to him, he wouldn't trust you anymore? He shouldn't be so petty right?"

"This is not a matter of bearing …"

"That's your psychological problem." Xi Mengyao pointed it out straight on.

After Lu Ming heard this, he also laughed bitterly twice and sighed, "Does Princess Hua-Yang have to be so sharp?"

However, Xi Mengyao shook her head: "It's not that I'm sharp, it's just that I feel bored looking at you like this. You people just have too many thoughts. "It's better to focus on proper business rather than suspecting the people around you."

As she spoke, she turned around to look at the still lit up study room. "Sleep, you've followed him for so long, what sort of character do you have? Don't tell me he doesn't know?"
