"Royal Consort … "You're back?" When Xi Mengyao returned to her courtyard, it was already the middle of the night.

Even the moonlight outside was obscured by the mist, making it look very uneasy.

Xi Mengyao nodded and did not say anything else.

However, Yu Han came over absentmindedly, as if she wanted to say something, and looked at her. Seeing that, Xi Mengyao stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.

After asking that, Yu Han suddenly shook her head, as if she had thought of something, and tried to cover it up: "Esteemed wangfei must be tired today, let's quickly rest. The Prince has ordered some people to send you your favorite food …"

Seeing her like that, Xi Mengyao did not say a word, but frowned and squinted her eyes at her.

There were originally no lanterns in the courtyard, and now that the sky was dark, it was even darker. Only half of his face was pale under the moonlight.

Yu Han's face was currently pale white, which was even more obvious.

Xi Mengyao only watched for a bit, then went over and patted her shoulder: I am not a gossipy person, your complexion is so bad, what happened? If you really want to hide it from me, you can say so. "However, you know about my temper. If you don't say anything, then leave. If you stay …"

When Xi Mengyao said this, she was already a little tired.

After listening to what he had to say for a long time, he couldn't really tell what was going on in his head.

However, he still had to say these words in the end.

As she thought about it, she also coughed. Looking at that person, she said, "Since you've chosen my side, I'll naturally be responsible for you to the end."

Yu Han suddenly raised his head, and then shook his head, not saying a word.

Although Xi Mengyao felt that it was even more strange, she did not inquire further. It was already chaotic enough, it wouldn't be good to ask about something else.

She coughed and went over to pat her arm.

"Now that I know something, I can't reveal it. You... If you have any thoughts, then take care of it yourself. If there is anything that you feel sorry for me, I won't stop you. You can leave by yourself.

Xi Mengyao said and sighed.

If there were people who came over for their own selfish desires, there would also be people who would leave for their own selfish desires. She didn't think much of these things, and added to the chaos, she didn't want to stop them.

Yu Han nodded, but it was every week.

Two days passed in this manner, yet everything was calm and peaceful. Lu Ming sent over Zhu Chai, but he did not know what Xi Mengyao wanted to do.

After Xi Mengyao took the things, she ordered three meals a day at the small hut where the corpses were kept.

Even if it was the weather here, the corpse had already begun to rot and smell. Even the guards outside would sometimes not be able to take it and wanted to stay far away from them. It was as if Xi Mengyao was completely unaware of this.

He would stay in there for at least an hour. Most of the time, he would stay there for half a day. It was unknown what he was doing.

Song Chongjing did know of this, but after sending her outside, he did not enter again.

After a few days of peace.

A day later, a torrential rain suddenly fell.

The rain in winter was originally very little. Normally, people would only see a gloomy drizzle. One layer of autumn rain and another layer of cold, the winter is dry and astringent.

However, there was a torrential downpour. Not only was it raining, there was also some hail. It had completely flooded the crops in the fields that were prepared to survive the winter.

The farmers outside were wailing. Even Ministry Councillor Liu, who had disappeared for a few days was anxious.

That day in the torrential rain, after he finished his lunch, he went to find Xi Mengyao and begged him, "Please let me go out and take a look. The torrential rain and my land for the past two days, I still don't know how they have been ruined like this …"

His words were urgent, and she seemed to be truly worried. Seeing this, Xi Mengyao was quiet for a moment, before nodding her head.

However, she did not let him return alone. She sent someone to escort him back.

In the past two days, Xi Mengyao had been very annoyed by the torrential downpour. She had never seen rain as heavy as this in winter.

She tightly wrapped her cloak around her as she stood at the foot of the veranda and watched the water drip down from the eaves of the veranda. Some of it had solidified, and a thin layer of ice covered it.

She sighed and breathed out white mist, as if it was the clouds that lingered over the mountain. Looking at it made one feel much calmer.

At this time, someone came from outside the door. He was wearing a black cloak and was rushing through the snow.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao also stood up and went to welcome him, laughing: "Why are you here at this time?"

Song Chongjing shook his head, his face dark: "The Emperor sent people over again today, and gave the order for the ten-day deadline to come, this case … What did you find out? "

"You came over and you said this case? "He's not asking for warmth or anything like that, it's really sad." Xi Mengyao chuckled, but her eyes were stern.

With that, she coughed and nodded, then looked back.

Song Chongjing did not say anything else and went back to his room and took off his cape. He sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea as he held it in his hand, then turned his head to look at Xi Mengyao. Seeing her somewhat pale face, he thought for a moment, then placed the cup down, poured another cup for her, and slowly pushed it over.

Xi Mengyao sat at the side and pushed the teacup over, causing her heart to feel warm. She turned her head to look at Song Chongjing's deep gaze. Her heart, for some reason, violently jumped for a moment, but it seemed to be hidden, as she lowered her head to drink a mouthful of hot tea.

Then, he said in a low voice, "You're pretty lucky, I've found something recently."

After she said that, she waited for the others to close the door. After a moment of silence, she lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Do you know what I saw in that small house recently?"

Song Chongjing shook his head.

He truly didn't know a thing about this matter. Xi Mengyao didn't care either. She didn't really want to ask, she just wanted to make this excuse.

When she finished, she coughed.

Instead of explaining, she asked Song Chongjing: "That couple, how are they now?"

Song Chongjing was suspicious, but still nodded.

Then they found out about the princess, and it was he who had forgotten about the couple. But today was a coincidence. The doctor took the initiative to come over and say that the two of them were already much better.

He then explained the situation to Xi Mengyao, who nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I already found out that this matter is related to that mysterious organization. From those two confessions, I found out that the people from the Black Sect didn't come from the Western Regions, but from a small country in the southern border."
