C54 Concealment (1/2)

Song Que walked into the basement and Fugui was curled up in a corner. He looked like he was in a trance, his face ashen and haggard.

”Mistress.” The tight-uniformed man who had been guarding Fugui respectfully saluted Song Que when he saw her.

”What else was there to say?” Song Que looked at Fugui in the corner and asked.

”Not at all.”

Song Que had a headache. He still didn't have any leads. He waved his hand and the man left.

Fugui shrank into a corner as he stood outside the prison. ”Think carefully. Is there anything else you haven't said?”

”I want to hear the details.”

”Someone gave us a letter. I gave it to Lingzhi after I read it and let her burn it after she read it. In the letter, someone told us to kill Imperial Concubine Rong and Senior Yu.”

”A letter?” Song Que looked at him in confusion and frowned.

”Why didn't you say that before?”

Fugui slumped against the wall as his body collided with the wall. With a heavy thud, he collapsed on top of the wall. ”You didn't ask for the details?”

Fugui laughed as if he was mocking him. Song Qi didn't pay any more attention to him and left.

Song Que was pacing left and right in the study room, anxious and restless: ”Someone come!”

”Continue searching for Lingzhi. Also, go to the place where Lingzhi lived and search for it. Find that letter!”

”This subordinate understands.” After the few men received the order, they immediately left.

Song Que frowned and sat on the stool very tiredly.

Meng Zixian and Song Que had an unpleasant time. They had been wandering outside without any money on them. When night came, they didn't want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and couldn't stay in an inn. The night market was also tidying up, and her stomach was growling in hunger.

Eating was a must. Meng Zixun stood at the gate of King Jing's Estate and paced around it a few times. In the end, unable to endure his hunger, he knocked on the door.

After a while, a servant opened the door and asked while yawning, ”Who is it?”

”I'm looking for King Jing.”

The boy sized Meng Zixian up a few times and said rudely, ”Wait.”

After that, the back door slammed shut and Meng Zixian fell into a deep slumber. This young servant had never seen her before, so other than seeing a little girl like Xin Er often, all the other servants and servants were ordered not to disturb her, so he naturally didn't recognize her.

After a while, the door opened again. The person who came out was the housekeeper. When he saw Meng Zixian, he politely said, ”So it's Miss Meng, please come in.”

The servant saw the steward's attitude and immediately smiled politely. He stood behind the steward and respectfully welcomed Meng Zixian into the room.

Meng Zixian watched the change, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sometimes, status was also very important.

She entered the front hall and saw Jing Wang in plain clothes, casually donning a cloak. After seeing her, he nodded slightly and said, ”Miss Meng.”

”Your Highness, can I stay for the night?” Meng Zixian walked up to the King Jing, and after he dismissed the others, she said in embarrassment with a slightly flushed face.

The last time he had been so bold and natural because Gu Jingcheng owed her, but this time, there was no other reason. Meng Zixian was penniless and had nowhere to go, so she could only be polite.

Her skin was white and her face was a thin shade of red, as if she was adorning a peach flower in the third month. She looked very delicate, very different from her usual appearance.

When Gu Jing Cheng saw this, he laughed in a low voice.
