Seeing that the dagger was about to land on her shoulder, Meng Zixian suddenly raised her hand and grabbed her wrist. She quickly got up and twisted her wrist backwards.

Gong Fei had never experienced such pain before, the pain from her shoulder made her loosen her grip on her dagger.

Before the dagger could fall to the ground, Meng Zixian grabbed it and held it against her neck. The cold light was terrifying.

Meng Zixian, whose life was hanging by a thread, suddenly had the upper hand. Gong Fei's arm was twisted behind her back at an extremely strange angle, and the side of her neck was still as sharp as a blade.

Gong Fei was so scared that her eyes widened. She looked at the man not far away in panic, her voice trembling with a bit of pleading.

"Qi He, save me .."

Meng Zixian's eyes showed a slight coldness, "Little Lord, I am not interested in the things between you two. I only want one way to live. If you don't give me one, then I can only take my life."

The ice-cold sharp blade faintly pressed down on Gong Fei's neck, as if it would cut through her fair and tender skin at any time.

Gong Fei's face was pale and she was too scared to move. She could only use her eyes to look at Qi He for help.

Meng Zixian looked at the man called Qi He, and her smile became wider and wider, "I wonder, in the eyes of this lord, is this servant's life more important, or this young lord's life more important?"

To be able to be so audacious as to enter the imperial palace and have an affair, this lord must have a connection with this palace concubine.

However, to the surprise of both Gong Fei and Meng Zixian, not only was Qi He not angry or begging for mercy, she was even smiling like a warm jade. She clapped twice and praised,

"Good skill, I admire it."

Tears welled up in Gong Fei's eyes. She looked at the man mournfully and grudgingly, "Qi He .."

Qi He nodded at her, then politely clenched his fists at Meng Zi. "Lady, I advise you to let Jing Fei go. You know she's your favorite concubine, so if you hurt her, even if you can escape .."

Qi He's smile became even wider. "But not everyone who is related to you is as skilled as you are."

Meng Zixian's eyes narrowed. Threatened her? It seemed like the man in front of him was not as modest and gentle as he looked. He was also a shrewd person and could not judge a person by his appearance.

"Then, master, what do you think we should do?" This servant will risk her life for her own. "

Meng Zixian still held Jing Fei's hand and didn't relax. She looked at Qi He vigilantly.

Qi He pointed at Jing Fei who was in Meng Zixian's hand and calmly said, "Let her go. Come with me. I will let you go after I successfully leave the palace."

Meng Zixian frowned slightly. "Why should I go with you?"

Qi He waved his sleeves and said calmly, "I am guilty of trespassing into the imperial harem, and it is the same for you, a mere palace maid, to barge into the Meditation Pavilion. So you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope. "

The man had a gentle smile on his face. "Or could it be that the lady is unwilling to follow me and wants to kill Jingfei and have a fight with me?"

Meng Zi choked on her words. She naturally knew that the man in front of her was much more powerful than her. If she were to have an argument with him, it would be either death or maiming.

Moreover, if they were to fight in the Meditation Pavilion and provoke the imperial guards, things would become troublesome. He might as well make the best of it and follow this person. Then, he would take advantage of the situation and escape.

In terms of Qing Gong, she was one of the best.

Meng Zixian removed her dagger and pushed away Jing Fei with all her might. Jing Fei staggered and almost fell. Qi He caught her by the arm and placed her on the chair.

Staring at Meng Zixian, Jing Fei looked at Qi He and asked, "Qi He, are you really going to let her go?"

"I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry. "

Meng Zixian hid her dagger in her sleeve and walked over to Qi He, gesturing for her to come over.

"Master, it's getting late. It's time to go."

Qi He responded, then turned around and nodded again to comfort Jing Fei. Then, he left the Meditation Pavilion with Meng Zixian in the front and back.
