Pretty Consort: Prince, Don't Run away

From the looks of it, they were definitely not doing anything serious.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao immediately stopped and peeked her head out. In the end, she found that there was someone at the side looking at her in shock.

She coughed and turned her head to pass.

Unexpectedly, the people beside her all retreated.

"Why aren't you leaving!" She was slow on the uptake, but someone disliked her and came over to pull her.

It was only then that Xi Mengyao realized that the person was not looking at her, but instead at the blue-robed girl who was walking over behind her.

The two of them looked younger, but they also seemed somewhat familiar.

The people beside him were discussing, but they also said that their identities were good.

She was perplexed, but upon closer inspection, she realized that this seemed to be one of the maidservants whom she had seen outside the courtyard yesterday, trying to persuade her!

"They really aren't from the Prince Jing Palace!" Xi Mengyao was surprised.

However, she didn't have the time to ponder on how these people could suddenly appear here. She could only move to the back and hide in a corner as she watched that person pass by.

The two maidservants stopped outside the door.

After coming out, he lowered his head, not daring to say anything. After that, they saw several people walking over. Only then did they raise their heads to take a look, as if they were waiting for someone.

Xi Mengyao had some suspicions, she wanted to chase after the person from before, but very quickly she realised that the servant had arrived.

They seemed to be very careful when they came into contact with each other. At this time, with no one disturbing them, Xi Mengyao turned out to be out of sorts and quietly waited on the side.

After a short moment, she saw the few of them walking out as though they had agreed on something.

Xi Mengyao heaved a sigh of relief. Before she left, he realised that there was a servant girl inside, and when she passed by, she was secretly looking at her.

She didn't know who it was, but she felt a little uneasy and deliberately avoided it.

She didn't expect that even though this was the case, she was still unable to completely avoid that person. This was what she had been watching the entire time, and it was getting closer and closer. Xi Mengyao frowned, and immediately raised her head.

This time, she didn't need to. She could just directly face him.

He had chewed on it countless times.

After that person came over, she saw him. The moment she saw him, she suddenly frowned. After carefully examining her for a moment, she asked in doubt, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

That person's voice was very tough, it always sounded like she was overbearing, and she really didn't like it.

Hearing her tone, Xi Mengyao was just about to mock him, but when she turned her head to take a closer look, she felt that this person looked very familiar.

After thinking seriously, she finally remembered this person.

It was a servant girl from the Duke of Guo's estate.

The prince was the father of the late consort.

That Noble Consort was the emperor's concubine before she even entered the palace. After entering the palace, she was promoted to imperial concubine and stayed by the emperor's side for dozens of years.

However, even though she was a pampered and generous woman, she was not a lucky person. She never appeared, and later on, when the Noble Consort Yun and her relatives came, she became ill and died from a serious illness.

At the time of his death, he was only twenty-seven.

Not only was the emperor nostalgic for her, he even allowed all of the Palace Maid in her palace to be buried along with her, despite all the civil and military objections.

I heard that at that time, the Emperor was not allowed to enter the imperial harem. It was only when the Noble Consort Yun hopped on a phoenix tree in the imperial garden and allowed the Emperor to enter the harem once again, that she was immediately conferred the title of Imperial Consort by this empress.

However, the position of the new imperial concubine didn't affect the duke's position in the slightest.

It was probably because the emperor had protected the duke of Jiang Chen's safety up till now, not to mention the fact that he'd been beholden to the imperial concubine.

Although he did not hold any big positions in the imperial court and could be considered an idle person, everyone knew that this idle person's status was not low at all.

If it was someone else, they would have done it even if it was a marquis bowing to them.

However, this person loved to roam the wild. Although he had many relationships with people, he didn't set up gangs.

That cheap old man of hers was the most tactful of people. He wanted to curry favor with anyone, so it was only natural that he'd have to deal with this duke.

He had an adopted daughter who was about the same age as his granddaughter. She used to be a kabuki.

In order to curry favor with him, the Prime Minister had specially made use of his adopted daughter, and the results were quite fruitful. In the past, she would often come to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she was very close to Xi Mengge.

It was just that after Xi Mengge got married, she had never seen her again.

She also did not take that person seriously, but when she thought about it now, she felt that it was still rather strange. She didn't know what exactly had happened either. She just thought that it was probably related to Xi Mengge.

The few of them obviously had matters to attend to, since Xi Mengyao did not speak, they left with their heads lowered.

However, Xi Mengyao was not far from them, and quietly followed them from behind.

Just like this, they had arrived at the outskirts of the city. It seemed like they had their own goals as well. They didn't even have time to rest before they directly came over.

Xi Mengyao only felt that it was very easy to guess their thoughts, but she didn't think that they would actually come here for.

After walking for a long time, she saw the things that made you stop.

It was outside of an ancient area. It seemed to be preparing to stir something up as it dispersed in twos and threes.

Xi Mengyao frowned, and hid at the side.

As she was watching, she saw three people in black robes walking out from Gu Sha's side.

"Eh …" Wasn't that the three people she saw last night?

Xi Mengyao immediately became alert, frowned, shrank her body, and watched from the side.

However, when she saw the people coming over, she didn't stand here. She started to walk around, as if she was checking on the people around her.

Xi Mengyao realized that if she continued to watch from the side, it would arouse suspicion.

She gritted her teeth and jumped onto a nearby tree.

She walked faster, and when she left, those people didn't notice at all. When they looked over, there was already no one here.

When she looked back, she was relieved, but she didn't really relax.

"What are they planning to do?" Naturally, she was talking to herself.

Although she still hadn't figured it out yet, from the looks of it, it wasn't a small matter.

After the three black-robed men returned, the two maidservants went over first. They nodded at them as if they respected them.

Xi Mengyao clicked her tongue. One of them immediately turned and looked in her direction!

"I'll go …"

Xi Mengyao gasped in shock but she quickly covered her mouth. Then, she tried her best to control her breathing to not make any other sounds.

After an unknown amount of time, she felt like she was suffocating. Only then did that person turn around and start talking.
