Concubine Chang Sturdy: Overwhelming His Majesty Du Meng

Chapter 44 Contradictions
Hao Mei frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "Did you find something?"

This elder brother has always been the kind of person who doesn't change his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, but now Hu Meiniang just came over to make such a change in his face.

Zhiqing gave a slight nod of his head and said softly, "This woman has a smell, which should be unpleasant, but I don't know why, but it smells very good."

Hearing what he said, Hao Mei seemed to have noticed this problem too. She did have a smell, but Hao Mei didn’t think it was bad, but thought it was weird, but she didn’t think too much about it. After all, who doesn’t smell bad? little flaw.

"I always thought she was not simple. The origin of Hu Meiniang was unknown. She was picked up by Shangguanran on the way, and everything she did before the death of the emperor exceeded my expectations."

Whether it's martial arts or medical skills, everything makes Hao Mei feel unbelievable.

"This woman is not simple." Zhiqing also nodded in agreement with what Hao Mei said, but there is no basis for what she said. If it is the guess of the two, others will not believe it.

After a pause, he continued: "It looks very dangerous, Mei'er, you'd better stay away from her."

Hao Mei nodded and was about to continue asking, but heard a gentle voice from outside, "What danger?"

Shangguanran!
The two immediately turned their gazes over, why did he come here at this time?

Shangguan walked in front of the two without haste, and said, "Mei'er."

Hao Meipi replied to the emperor with a non-smiling smile, and then turned her gaze, her attitude was unusually cold.She was still blaming Shangguan for not trusting herself, but Hu Meiniang believed it after just saying a few words, even though what Hu Meiniang said was to excuse herself.

It had happened for so long, and he hadn't come here, and Liuli's statement was to avoid suspicion. If Zhiqing hadn't come over, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come here today.

This avoidance is really a good excuse, after all, Shangguan didn't believe him.

Seeing Hao Mei's attitude, the smile on Guan Ran's face also instantly subsided, Zhi Qing looked at the two frowning and wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

After all, he was an outsider and had no idea what was going on.

"Brother, I will trouble you with this matter. I will go back to deal with government affairs first." After speaking, he turned and left.

From the beginning to the end, Hao Mei never looked back at him.

Zhiqing frowned and looked at the two people who were at odds, but shook his head helplessly and sighed after a long while, "Junior brother, he is quite introverted, and he doesn't want to talk to others about anything. If there is any misunderstanding between you, let's talk about it as soon as possible." Well done, it’s not an option to keep making trouble like this.”

No matter what, he didn't want to see the two go on like this.

However, this sentence was met with a cold snort by Hao Mei, who tilted her head and asked, "Do you think the most important thing between two people is trust?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhiqing was stunned, and nodded for a while, "That's right."

"Then there's nothing to say." Hao Mei shrugged, "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, let's think about how to find the murderer."

Seeing that Zhiqing didn't speak, she said again: "Tomorrow night is the third day, let's go and have a look together."

How can I say that I am also the queen, so I have the obligation to protect the safety of the entire harem. Hao Mei herself knows that the more she passes, the more she can't explain clearly, but she has to go.

"Okay." Zhiqing nodded, "I'll go get ready."

Turn around and leave.

On the other side, in the dilapidated thatched hut, it was still very dark even in the daytime, and two figures walked in one after the other.

The woman's figure is graceful, and she looks very attractive in the dark. The man opposite is surrounded by black mist, but he can vaguely see his face.

"Zhiqing is here, remember to be careful." The woman spoke first, and the voice turned out to be Hu Meiniang.

The man on the opposite side nodded and said softly, "Why do you care about me so much?"

There was a bit of playfulness in the deep voice, although it had changed a little, it was vaguely recognizable that it was Liu Guannan who spoke.Hu Meiniang took two steps back, and knocked his outstretched hands aside.

Angrily said: "Don't forget the deal between us."

"Hehe." Liu Guannan put his hand in mid-air, aiming at her heart, hesitated for a long time but did not put it down, but a ruthless light flashed in his eyes, "You will be mine sooner or later."

The domineering tone carried the power that could not be rejected, Hu Meiniang took another step back and smiled charmingly, that smile would be eclipsed even if it was a delicate flower.

"It's just a deal between us. Besides, can you awaken your demonic nature without my help? So you should thank me very much." She said quietly, her eyes seductive.

Liu Guannan stared straight at her, lost his mind for a moment.

When he came back to his senses again, the touching figure was no longer in front of him, only a string of charming smiles remained.

"Meiniang, it's really Meiniang." He sighed, with a silver light in his eyes, then turned and left.

Zhiqing had prepared well, but she didn't tell Hao Mei what she had prepared.

After several times of interrogation by Hao Mei, he had to surrender and take out all the things he had prepared.

"Just a rope?" Hao Mei frowned and looked at the rope in front of her eyes. She looked at it carefully for a long time but didn't find anything unusual.

"What we're catching is a ghost, can you catch it with a rope?" She curled her lips, and became even more suspicious of the senior brother's strength.

Zhiqing was very confident in himself, pointed at the rope in Hao Mei's hand, and replied with a haughty face: "Don't say I'm bragging, brother, I have caught many birds and animals with this rope all this time, it can be called It’s all good.”

As he spoke, he smiled confidently and took the rope from Hao Mei, and looked down at it with extremely affectionate eyes.

"Following me for so many years, there are some things you don't understand."

Hao Mei pointed at herself inexplicably and then at the rope. It is true that she does not understand how the rope can catch ghosts.

But it might be okay to think about it carefully. The knowledge about ghosts in her mind comes from the previous world, and the previous action has proved that that world is different from this world, so Zhiqing did this Maybe it does.

Thinking about this, Hao Mei walked over and patted him on the shoulder heavily, "Since you are so confident, senior brother, the important task of safeguarding the peace of the harem and maintaining love and justice will be entrusted to you."

Zhiqing nodded and put the rope away, "I promise to complete the task."
