C45 Hold Hands and Wait for the Return to the Palace (1/2)

After three days of comfortable life, Meng Zixian's wounds were healed and scarred. Furthermore, he had even gained a lot of weight. His face became redder, and he looked like a peeled egg, smooth and white.

”Young Lady Meng is raising it well today.”

Meng Zixian was sitting in the yard with a pot of tea on the stone table and a dry pastry in one hand and a book in the other. He was about to stuff the pastry into his mouth when Gu Jingcheng's voice suddenly rang out.

She raised her head and looked at Gu Jingcheng with a slight smile.

In the past few days, Gu Jing Cheng had come a few times and the two of them had a talk with the books they were reading. Gu Jing City had come a few times and the two of them had a talk with the books they were reading. He had a good attitude towards Gu Jing Cheng.

”Look, Your Royal Highness, I found a wonderful place in this book this morning.”

”Oh? This King is all ears. ”

Although Meng Zixian addressed him respectfully, she was already used to it. She wouldn't bow when she saw Gu Jingcheng unless it was absolutely necessary. When it came to matters of interest, she even went up to him.

”The story in this book really has a turning point.”

”This person was guilty of being a thief and wanted to be silenced, but was instead silenced. Then, the pursuer's trail was cut off and another bait appeared, which was given to the pursuer. The pursuer only caught a chess piece, but you say that the pursuer was very pitiful.”

Meng Zixian shook her head. She hadn't finished reading the ending, but because of the wonderful plot, she couldn't help but feel that it was a pity.

”I've never read this book before. Since it's so interesting, I might as well take a look when I'm free.”

After that, they chatted for a while before Gu Jing Cheng left because he had something to do.

The beauty from last time was indeed Gu Jing City's concubine after asking around.

Gu Jingcheng, as a prince, had been given a marriage ceremony when the late emperor was still alive. However, his main wife had died of ill health and had passed away early. Gu Jingcheng had also married a new wife.

Several times in a row, Gu Jingcheng's reputation as the bandit's wife was left behind.

The daughter of a good family refused to send others over. Gu Jingcheng refused to accept the concubine that was delivered to him. The only beauty in the backyard was called Miao Ling. She was one of the concubines that had been sent to him that had been lucky enough to survive until now.

In the past few days, Meng Zixian would often go to her place to sit, drink tea with her, and chat with her.

She looked very depressed, like a sickly beauty, but her temper was quite bad. She had no choice but to be sent to a concubine's room, but she was also a gentleman in Gu Jing City. She had nowhere to go, so he gave her shelter and freedom, but in the end, her freedom was limited.

In Jing King Manor, there weren't many servants that were able to see him. When the steward came looking for him, he was usually absent. Miao Ling stayed in the manor all day; she was bored and no one was allowed to speak.

Meng Zijing had come, and Miao Ling was very happy to see him. She started to talk a lot more.

She was once a member of the theater group, and the class owner treated her like his own daughter. He had traveled all over the country since young, and had been in the martial arts world for a while.

”Hey, how did this handkerchief come out?” Meng Zixian's interest was piqued, and he asked excitedly.

Miao Ling was good at juggling. Right now, she was showing Meng Zian how to turn one handkerchief into two, three, and countless items.

”Actually, it's quite simple. It's nothing more than a deceptive trick.”

”It's the equivalent of using something else to attract someone else who is doing something else.”

When Meng Zixian heard this, she stared in shock.

After that, it was as if someone had led her to Imperial Concubine Rong. Now that Imperial Concubine Rong was dead, and the person behind her was nowhere to be found, wouldn't another person come into her field of vision and change targets?

If one thought about it carefully, it was actually so astonishing.

”Zi Xian, are you okay?” Miao Ling extended her hand and gestured in front of her. Seeing that she did not respond, she gave a few more cries.

Meng Zixian came back to his senses and gave a dry laugh.
