It had been a long night. Meng Zixian woke up a few times and looked outside the cave only to see darkness.

While sighing at how slow time had passed, Meng Zixian casually looked away from the cave and saw something out of the corner of her eyes. Her face suddenly changed.

"Beauty Huai, Beauty Huai." He suppressed his voice to a minimum and nudged Huai Mei who was beside him, "Hurry and get up, there's someone outside."

As she spoke, she grabbed Gu Jing Cheng's bow and arrow and stuffed the dagger into the hands of the still drowsy beauty Huai.

Although she did not know what was going on, seeing Meng Zixian so alert, and hearing her say that there was someone outside, she suddenly became nervous. All the sleepiness in her mind disappeared in an instant. Although he was not proficient in martial arts, he still held the dagger tightly in a nervous manner.

The two leaned against the stone wall, looking at the bushes at the entrance of the cave.

She had just seen a human figure floating about. Although the movements were extremely minute and did not make any sound, she could not mistake the intuition brought by the many years of experience in the martial arts world.

Meng Zixian didn't know how many people were outside. If only one or two came in, Meng Zixian was confident that she would be able to hit them the moment they came in. However, what he was afraid of was that the people outside would first shoot their arrows.

With the sound of the plants rubbing against each other, Meng Zixian held her breath. Her hands were full of bows, and she narrowed her eyes, shooting the arrows in the direction of the sound without any hesitation.

The arrow pierced through the sky and flew out. However, there wasn't the sound of the blade tearing flesh like Meng Zian expected nor was there a sound.

Meng Zi let out a low curse, and his face suddenly became extremely unsightly. Her judgement should not be wrong. Could it be that the people outside had better martial arts skills than her? He could dodge the arrow the moment it flew past him?

Unable to understand what Meng Zixian was shooting at, she turned her head to look at Meng Zixian, then looked at the entrance of the cave. She was so nervous that she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Nice shot."

A deep voice sounded, with a hint of a smile.

Meng Zixian was shocked. He opened his eyes wide and that person walked out of the bushes into the cave. An extremely familiar face appeared in front of Meng Zixian.

He was still as high-spirited as he was this morning, and did not look like someone who had spent an entire day in the forest. When he saw the man lying on the ground and the Huai Beauty who was behind Meng Zixian, a sliver of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

Meng Zixian came back to her senses at once. She frowned and asked, "You're participating too?"

Originally, he thought he was just doing it for Jingfei and felt some sympathy for their relationship, but if he really was someone who killed innocents, then she, Meng Zixian, would have to change her opinion of him.

"You can see the heads on me? This is a hunt with a human head count. "

Song Que answered very straightforwardly, with a very relaxed tone, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Meng Zixian pursed her lips and put down the bow and arrow.

However, the Huai beauty who was hiding behind Meng Zixian looked at Song Que in shock: "Song .." Prime Minister Song? "

Seeing that she called him, Song Que's eyebrows jumped a little. The smile that was originally hanging on his face disappeared, and his eyes became cold. He said lightly to Meng Zixian: "Now the things that you and I know have been seen by someone."

After saying this, Huai Mei was holding onto Meng Zixian's sleeve tightly. But now, she loosened her grip and retreated a few steps back. Her eyes drifted between Meng Zixian and Song Qishen.

"How do you know each other .."

Within the harem, most people knew what the backgrounds of the concubines were. When she was at the palace, she had asked quite a few times about this Meng Zixian. Rumors said that she was an outstanding woman who had been declared to be part of the Palace because of her looks. Seeing how familiar Meng Zixian and Song Que were with each other, Huai Mei could not help but start to suspect.

Meng Zixian glared at Song Que and turned to speak to Beauty Huai, "There is no one in the palace who does not know about Prime Minister Song. It is not strange for me to know about him. Before we entered the palace, we could be considered to have known each other. "

"Then, Lord Song .. "You won't kill me right .."

Huai beauty trembled as she glanced at Song Qi He. Seeing that his face was as warm as jade and had a trace of coldness in his eyes, she was so scared that she immediately retracted her gaze.

Meng Zixian and Song Qishen knew each other, so Song Qishen might have bypassed her life, but she was not related to Song Qishen at all. Song Qishen was a hunter, so she had no idea if she should kill him.

"If he really wants to kill someone, then no one in this cave will be able to escape."

Meng Zixian sat on the ground and sighed, "What are you going to do now? Do you want to kill the two of us, or should you let us go? "

"I did not want your lives. It's not my interest to kill someone who has no way to refute me. "

Just when Meng Zixian was prepared to say that he had some conscience, she heard Song Qi He add, "You are still useful to me, but if the person behind you pisses me off, I might be willing to do it."

Song Qishen's meaning was extremely clear. To him, the beauty Huai was useless. If she spoke too much, she would die here.

Although Huai beauty was arrogant, she was not stupid. With Song Qi's words, she instantly understood everything.

Both of her legs went soft as she knelt on the ground: "Please spare me, Master Song! The things that you and Meng Zixian know, Qingge won't say anything! My father needs your care, Qingge will definitely know her limits. "

When she said that, she sounded like she was about to cry. Only now did Meng Zixian know her name was Qingge.

This Song Qishen was truly powerful in the imperial court. Even such a domineering and arrogant Huai beauty was afraid of him, afraid that he would harm her father.

"I won't kill smart people." Song Que laughed. His smile was as gentle as the spring wind, but it made Meng Zixian's heart turn cold.

From now on, Huai Mei would be the same as her, under the control of this person. To Duke Huai's father, Lord Qin, he would have been grateful if he had not killed Phoenix Fairy Beauty, thus he had added another chess piece.

"Who is the man lying down? You killed him? "

Song Que walked into the cave and stared at Gu Jing Cheng on the ground. Gu Jing Cheng's face was facing the inside and all he could see was the back of his head.

"What are you going to do?"

Hearing him, Meng Zixian stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Jing Cheng.

Song Que was surprised by her actions and gently raised his eyebrows: "Oh? In the midst of hunting, you, who only cares about your own benefits, actually got to know someone to protect? "Those who enter the forest are all people opposing you. They want to kill you."

"He let me go. "He didn't kill anyone else either."

Song Que's face didn't change. He lowered his eyes and looked at the person on the ground and said softly: "I don't know. This person looks familiar. From his figure, it seems .. It's Prince Gu Jingcheng? "

This scoundrel's eyes were truly sharp.

Clenching his lips, Meng Zi said, "He has no enmity with you, Master Song, right?"

"You're overthinking it. I, Song, am not someone who engages in enmity everywhere. My relationship with the Prince is pretty good. I just didn't expect .. Why is he unconscious here? "
