Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 66
Meng Qingcheng came in a carriage, and the carriage was parked outside the Chu Mansion.

After leaving the gate of the Chu family, Qihe and I got into the carriage and sat down in the carriage, while Meng Qingcheng sat on the shaft outside the carriage with the driver to avoid suspicion.

The street was quiet in the middle of the night, and the wheels of the carriage rolled over the stone slabs on the ground, making a creaking sound.

I sat in the carriage and listened to the creaking sound. After a while, I closed my eyes and began to regain my senses.

The Chu Mansion is located in an official residential area outside the imperial city. From the Chu family to the imperial palace, it takes about half an hour at the speed of a carriage.

But after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Because I didn't prepare in advance, when the carriage stopped suddenly, my body fell forward inertially. Fortunately, Qihe, who reacted in time, helped me so that I didn't hit the carriage.

A walking carriage would not stop for no reason, but now it stopped suddenly, something must have happened outside.

After being supported by Qihe, I sat in the carriage and Meng Qingcheng explained the reason for the sudden stop of the carriage.

It's just that I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear Meng Qingcheng's voice, and there was silence outside the carriage.

But it was this unnatural quietness that made me more sure that something must have happened outside.

I looked at the thick curtain that blocked the situation outside the carriage, frowned, then turned around and said to He He: "Qi He, go out and have a look."

"No." After listening to my order, Qi He nodded to me, then stood up, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and walked out of the carriage.

"Master Hou, I don't know what to say..." I heard Qi He's voice coming out of the carriage, but before she finished speaking, she stopped suddenly just like the carriage just now.

I saw this in the car, and I was sure again that something happened outside.

"Master." After entering, Qihe called me, with an unseen seriousness on his face.

I looked at Qihe's state, then glanced at the car curtain that was still blocking the outside of the car, and said to Qihe: "Say."

"No." Qihe nodded after my words, and then said: "Master, the young master is outside."

"Young master?" I was taken aback when I heard Qihe's words, and after I realized who Qihe was talking about, I couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Mingqi is here?"

"Return to master, yes." Qi He nodded after my words.

But I was taken aback.

I hadn't seen Mingqi in the Chu Mansion just now, so Mingqi naturally didn't come to worship Chu Bufan.

Moreover, as the emperor of Mingqi, it is naturally impossible to come to worship Chu Bufan who is a courtier.

In this way, Mingqi went out of the palace late at night, not to worship Chu Bufan, there was only one reason: me!
I thought of the two dark guards sent by Mingqi to protect me.

Although those two followed me, they were still under the control of Mingqi.

I left the palace suddenly this time, although those two people have no right to stop me, but for the sake of my safety, they will definitely report this matter to their secret guard captain, and then the secret guard captain will report it to Mingqi.

I was sitting in the carriage, thinking that Mingqi would go out of the palace late at night for me, I couldn't help but feel a burst of tension in my heart.

"Qihe, help me out." I turned my head and said to Qihe.

"No." Qihe nodded after my words, then stood up, helped me up, then stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, and let me out of the carriage.

Outside the carriage at this time, Meng Qingcheng and the coachman had already got off the shaft and were standing on both sides of the carriage.

Among them, the coachman lowered his head and looked at the ground, while Meng Qingcheng looked back at me after seeing me getting out of the carriage, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just looked at me in silence. The direction ahead of the carriage.

I followed Meng Qingcheng's gaze towards the front of the carriage.

I saw a carriage parked two or three zhang away from Meng Qingcheng's carriage.

The carriage was not much different from Meng Qingcheng's carriage in appearance, it was equally low-key and luxurious, and there were two people standing beside the carriage, one on the left and one on the right.

My eyes pierced through the night, and finally fell on the person standing on the left side of the carriage.

In the night, the man stood upright and straight. Although I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, I could feel that since I got out of the carriage, his eyes had been locked on me, focused but deep, and never moved. opened.

Ming chess!

Even though the distance made me unable to see the man's face clearly, and even though the man was not wearing the yellow robe and five-clawed golden dragon uniform that I am familiar with today, I could still tell at a glance that he was Mingqi.

I looked at Mingqi on the opposite side, then at Meng Qingcheng next to me, finally nodded to Meng Qingcheng, and walked towards Mingqi step by step.

"Why are you here?" I didn't stop until I walked to the opposite side of Mingqi. After I stopped, I looked up at Mingqi who was taller than me, and asked.

But because I was worried that Mingqi's identity would be exposed, I didn't call him 'emperor' or 'Mingqi' as usual, but just said 'you'.

"Mother is not at home late at night, and the son can't come out to look for it. If something goes wrong, won't people say that the son is unfilial?"

But Mingqi on the opposite side snorted after I said it, his words were full of sarcasm, and at the same time, the corner of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc.

"Or is it mother who thinks that the son should not come to you and that the son is disturbing you?" Mingqi looked at me mockingly and asked.

I looked at the sarcasm on Mingqi's face, heard his obvious sarcasm, and frowned. When I was about to ask him what he meant, I heard him continue: "Mother left home late at night, just to See that person?"

I followed Mingqi's gaze and looked back, only to see that Mingqi's gaze was falling on Meng Qingcheng who was standing opposite the carriage beside him.

"Does mother like that person so much? She likes him so much that she doesn't even care about her own identity, and does something like meeting someone privately in the middle of the night?"
