Daughter Of Rebellious Minister

C48 Step Back in Dark Investigation

Song Qi River Jingfei scattered, implying that Meng Zixian wanted to find Song Qi River through Jingfei, but ended up getting a closed-door loophole.

"Young mistress, esteemed imperial concubine's body wasn't feeling well today, so she rested a long time ago."

"So it's like that .."

Meng Zixian returned empty-handed. She was clear in her heart that Jingfei didn't want to see her.

For the past few days, Meng Zixian came to find Jingfei, but she failed. This was very unusual, Jingfei would say that she wasn't feeling well, but who was the person that went to someone else's room?

Under normal circumstances, if Jingfei wouldn't be able to avoid seeing her, it must be because of Song Lihe. Meng Zixian guessed that Meng Zixian and Song Qishen had a conflict.

When Song Que came to Meng Zixian's room at night, his face was colder than usual.

"This young eunuch has a palace maid who works opposite of him. Her name is Lingzhi. She works in the palace of Sir Yu and is also a palace maid." Meng Zixian had not been messing around these past few days, checking out a lot of information.

Coincidentally, Venerable Yu had just died, and this Lingzhi just happened to be out of the palace at the age of twenty.

"I will think of a way to capture that young eunuch and interrogate him."

"Hmm, after all, it's not easy for me to make a move."

The two discussed briefly before Song Que's bench heated up and was about to leave. Meng Zixian suddenly called out to her, "Master Song, I heard that Mistress Jingfei had been sick for a few days. You didn't go to visit."

Meng Zixian noticed that when he mentioned the word "silent concubine," Song Que's face became darker and darker. She was extremely unhappy. Now, Meng Zixian was sure that these two people were really unhappy.

Meng Zixian didn't step on the thunder and sent Song Qi away.

On the way back, he passed by Jingfei's Palace. After hesitating for a while, he decided to enter the sect.

Jingfei was anxious and could not sleep at night. She wore a simple robe and looked up at the sky with a long sigh.

"Why are you not wearing any clothes at all? How can you be so willful?!" Song Qi He appeared behind Jingfei's back. Although it was a reprimand, it was hard to hide his concern.

When Jing Fei heard Song Qi's voice, her eyes were filled with tears. She turned around and looked at him with eyes full of love.

"I heard you're sick."

Quiet And Steadfast pursed his lips, thinking of how even Song Qishen didn't agree to his pleas. His anger still hadn't faded.

Song Que sighed. He walked forward and held onto Jing Fei, "I promise you, I won't investigate."

Jing Fei let out a sigh of relief deep in her heart. She shed tears. "Qi He, I'm really worried about you. Something strange has happened in the harem. I .."

"I know."

When the two of them interacted, they always needed someone to step back. Thus, there was no gap between the two of them.

Meng Zixian didn't know that the two of them had already made up. When she got up this morning, Ling'er told her that Fugui had gone crazy and got beaten to death!

Meng Zixian had always wanted to secretly tie him up, but was stopped by Song Que. She just gave up and he died!

The clues that she had found out with great difficulty had been broken off. She blamed Song Qi He for being inefficient in not cherishing the fruits of her efforts. If she kept dragging it out, the clues would be gone!

She paced around her own yard, preparing to sneak out of the palace tonight and ask Song Qi what was going on.

However, the palace door was deep. It was not so easy to get out. Meng Zijue could not help but break out in cold sweat.

"Miss Meng."

When Meng Zixian saw Gu Jingcheng, the first thought in her heart was, "I'm going to sleep today".

Gu Jing City had matters to attend to at the Imperial Palace. He also happened to come to the palace where his former mother's concubine resided. When he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of Meng Zian's palace not too far away, and decided to pay a visit.

This place was remote, and no one would notice where he went or what he was doing here.

"You came at the perfect time!" Meng Zixian ran excitedly to Gu Jing Cheng's side, a wide smile on his face.

"What has made Miss Meng so happy?"

"Of course it's you!"

Meng Zixian didn't hesitate to blurt out his answer. Gu Jingcheng was also stunned for a moment when he heard it, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I'm in a hurry."

Meng Zixian welcomed him in and told him his purpose. Gu Jingcheng smiled, "That's not difficult. Today, when I leave the palace, you can disguise as my boy so that we can leave together."

Gu Jingcheng kept his promise. Meng Zixian didn't have to wait long before she received a man's outfit. After changing it, it fit her quite well.

Gu Jing Cheng walked out of the palace safely. Meng Zi thanked him and headed straight for Song Qi He's Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although the Prime Minister's Estate was guarded by an expert, it was not airtight. Furthermore, Meng Zixian had lived here for a period of time, so the Prime Minister's Estate seemed to have an impression of her, so they didn't stop her.

Meng Zijing went to a few rooms, but did not even see Song Que. He turned his eyes and went straight to the study room. He walked around a few times, sized up the room, and started to rummage through.

No one?

Impossible! Meng Zixian frowned. The bandit's intuition told her that something was definitely going on here. Although there was a faint sandalwood fragrance here, she could feel the tension!

She locked her gaze onto the wall with the picture of a horse hanging in front of her. She lightly stroked the wall with her hand and pressed her ear against it. She then closed her eyes and started to feel it inch by inch.

Just as his men felt something strange, one of the bookshelves was opened.

She smiled knowingly, "There really is a secret passage!"

After entering the dark tunnel, Meng Zixian pressed a button on the wall and the tunnel closed again.

She tensed up her nerves and walked step by step inside, the sound gradually becoming clearer.

"Continue the interrogation until you say it out loud."

Meng Zixian only heard this and heard footsteps getting closer and closer to her. She didn't even have time to dodge before she crashed into Song Que.

"Why did you leave the palace?"

"I-I heard that Fugui was killed, so the clues were cut off. I'm a bit anxious."

Song Que wanted to blame her for her recklessness, so he sneaked out, but Meng Zixian also did something important, so she only opened her mouth a few times and didn't say anything unnecessary.

"Come down."

Meng Zixian followed him down and found that Fugui was tied to a chair. It wasn't that he was really dead, but he was secretly caught here by Song Que.

"Why do you need to move people here to interrogate?" She frowned doubtfully.

Song Que replied: "This way we have more room to search."

Meng Zixian didn't know that Song Qi had stepped back for the sake of Jing Fei, but for some reason, she had to do something.

"Did you find out anything?"

Song Que shook his head: "He's quite stubborn."

Meng Zixian teased, "Can't you even subdue a little eunuch with the Prime Minister's methods?"

"I have an opinion, go and grab his food — ganoderma."

Meng Zixian's voice was not very loud, just to the extent that Fugui could hear it. She glanced to the side and saw that Fugui's expression changed, but he still gritted his teeth as if he couldn't say anything.

Song Que also noticed Fortune's strange behavior, but he gave his consent: "Even though this plan is a bit unlucky, it's still a good idea."

One slap and it was done. Song Que's eyes flashed and one of the guards beside him understood. Song Que thought for a while and still decided to take the things that the Lingzhi carried with it as a threat.

Originally, Song Que was not happy with Meng Zian's escape, but Meng Zian refused and said a lot of good things. Plus, Gu Jing Cheng was a few days away from the palace, so Song Que could only helplessly agree to Meng Zian staying.

It had been a rare few days. Meng Zixian was worried that someone would recognize her, so she kept changing her appearance a bit before daring to leave.

When she spoke of changing her appearance, she immediately thought of that wondrous person from the Spring Garden.
