Meng Zixian changed into a fresh set of clothes, washed the clothes off of his face, and dressed himself. Then he went to Gu Jing Cheng's sleeping quarters and flew into the courtyard.

"What is it?" Once Meng Zixian entered, she got straight to the point.

Gu Jingcheng smiled: "I was leaving the palace today. I originally wanted to say goodbye to you before I left, but the Emperor said that he had something to discuss with me, so I decided to stay for two more days."

"What happened in the court?"

"A serious disaster had occurred in Nanning, and I was thinking about how to deal with it."

Seeing that there were a lot of pine cones on the table, Meng Zixian took them out and ate them casually. The food was very sweet and delicious, so when Gu Jingcheng saw that she liked it, he said: "If you like it, I'll get someone to send some to you later."

"Not bad, my yard has very few snacks. I usually secretly go to the royal kitchen to get food."

Gu Jingcheng smiled, "Then I'll often get someone to send you food to eat. The imperial kitchens have a strict record, so it's good to be careful." Gu Jing Cheng sipped a cup of tea and slowly explained.

After Meng Zixian heard this, she said happily, "With you bringing it to me, it will definitely be good. Every time I sneak over, it won't be good either. There are rumors in the royal kitchen that ghosts eat those things.

Meng Zixian was thirsty. Gu Jingcheng poured some tea into her cup and pushed it over: "Drink some water."

"This tea is not bad." After taking a sip, Meng Zixian felt that the flavor was different from the last time. This time, the fragrance filled her mouth, making her taste very good.

"The taste is also quite good." Meng Zixian drank the water, ate the pine cone, and chatted with Gu Jingcheng. The night slowly turned dark.

Someone brought in a meal. Meng Zixian then ate a good meal and packed some food boxes. She held the food box and said to Gu Jingcheng, "Thank you, King Jing, for treating me for so long."

"No worries, if I enter the palace in the future, I'll come back when I'm free." Gu Jing Cheng stood there, a gentle smile on his face as he stood with his hands behind his back.

"Haha, how embarrassing, then I won't be polite!" Meng Zi smiled as she took the food and went back to her own bedroom.

"Ling'er, are my clothes ready?" Meng Zixian passed the food box to Ling'er and asked.

Ling'er took out her clothes. "Little Lord, it's cool at night. Please take note of your body."

"Ling'er is waiting for me at home. I'll be right back." Meng Zixian changed her clothes and went out.

At night, the moon and stars were also submerged in the darkness. Meng Zixian was wearing a black robe as she walked freely on the beams of the harem.

Soon, they arrived at the Storage Pavilion. Many lights in the pavilion had been extinguished, and only a few of them were still lit. One of them was carried out of the hall while wrapped in a blanket.

Meng Zixian watched from the side and knew that the girl had been ordered. She was now sending her to Gu Jingyuan's chamber.

Meng Zijue stood outside the door and blew on the cold wind. When he was ready to go in, he saw a black shadow sneaking out.

Meng Zi was curious and followed him.

The person who had slipped away, wearing the uniform of a beautiful lady's palace, had walked all the way to the imperial garden and stood by the lake. Not long after, he actually began to cry.

Meng Zixian thought that this person would do something, but he actually went to the lake and cried?

"I can't sleep. I don't want to, Donglang. I'm sorry."

The woman cried pitifully, causing people to feel pity for her. As she spoke, Meng Zixian heard her. She took off her shoes, looked around, and then jumped into the lake.

The water splashed everywhere and Meng Zixian was shocked. There was no way she would just stand there and watch him die. She quickly stepped forward and jumped into the water without hesitation.

It was even darker under the water, and it was not easy for Meng Zijue to find her. She had already fainted from drinking too much water, so she helped her to the shore.

"Hey, don't die!" Mencius pressed his hand against her chest, pressing hard, then pressed it against her heart to listen to her heartbeat.

Meng Zixian was soaked to the skin, and the cold wind was blowing on her body. She couldn't care less as she tried to wake up.

The woman spat out a mouthful of water, breathed heavily and started coughing.

"You, who are you?" Suddenly, the woman caught sight of Meng Zixian.

Meng Zixian didn't want to be discovered, so she prepared to leave, but the woman held her hand.

"Don't go!" The woman's voice was very clear in the dark night. Meng Zixian was afraid that it would attract people.

"Alright, alright, I'm not leaving. Don't talk anymore." Meng Zixian had no choice but to pick him up.

The woman seemed to wake up slowly and saw Meng Zixian. "Did you save me?"

After which, the woman said helplessly, "Why did you save me?"

Meng Zi was speechless. He didn't know what to say. The woman continued, "I didn't want to enter the palace. My family forced me in. I have someone I love. Why .."

The woman choked with sobs and began to cry. She didn't care who saved her, but she had to explain the grievances and depression in her heart.

"One only has one life. Live well."

"Although this harem is depressing, it also has its own way of survival. You just need to properly find it." Meng Zixian consoled her.

"I don't want to sleep. I don't want to let him down!"

"Dong Lang, I really do love him." Then, the woman cried. Meng Zixian was scared and wanted to leave, but she was worried that the woman would jump down again.

"Don't cry, it won't be good if you come back later."

The woman seemed to be tired from crying as she let out a long sigh. "Thank you for tonight."

"Live well, life is the most important thing." Meng Zixian consoled her. The woman struggled to stand up, then blankly nodded. As if she had no soul, she walked forward.

Meng Zixian was worried that something might have happened to the young woman, so he followed her all the way back to the pavilion, and then left.

He had been working for free tonight. Meng Zixian sneezed, felt uncomfortable all over, and returned to her own room.

Ling'er had been waiting the entire time. Seeing her in a sorry state, she hurriedly asked, "Little master, what's wrong?"

Meng Zixian said helplessly, "I met a pretty girl who committed suicide. I can only go and save her."

"Young Lord, did you see your face?"

"Sigh, it was too dangerous back then. How could I have noticed so much?" Meng Zixian was also a bit worried. If that pretty girl said that she was wearing black and running around everywhere, how could she explain that?

It was hard to explain even with a hundred mouths!

Meng Zixian said helplessly, "Ai, it's not like we can't save him. At least he is a human."

Ling'er disagreed. "Young master, being kind in this harem is one thing, but my own safety is the most important thing. Next time, don't be like this."

This was the first time Ling'er had given her opinion on this matter. When Meng Zixian heard this, she was shocked. Ling'er was much colder than she seemed.

Meng Zixian couldn't care less about what others thought. Furthermore, Ling'er's words made sense, and she nodded slightly.

Ling'er wiped her hair. "Little Lord, when my hair is dry, I'll go to sleep. Later, I'll go cook a bowl of ginger soup. You can drink it to avoid a cold."
