Pretty Consort: Prince, Don't Run away

"Just what do you want, anyway?" However, if I were to say that we share the same thoughts, I wouldn't be so afraid of you … Why don't you give me a promise? If you want to participate in some fight in the future, you can't lie to me. If you and I are honest, I can help you with peace of mind, no? "

After hearing that, Song Chongjing's eyes darkened.

This was the first time he had ever heard someone speak to him like this.

As long as he agreed to it, it would be an invisible contract. Even if no one was supervising his breach of contract, he was still unwilling to let down this mysterious trust.

After thinking for a long time, he nodded his head and said, "If you want to do this, then I promise you that I won't do anything harmful to you. Just relax."

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao more or less calmed down, she sighed, and laughed bitterly: "It's not that I don't trust everyone, but this matter, after all, is not something that can be settled just by trusting everyone."

With that, she let out a long sigh and shook her head.

But she suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. In fact, after fighting for so long, she had finished what she wanted to say. After some thought, she suddenly thought of something and shushed herself. Then, she definitely closed the side door.

"What's the matter with you?" Song Chongjing turned his head over doubtfully.

She came over with a serious face and said in a low voice, "Actually, since you already know his purpose, why don't we play a big game this time?"

Hearing her tone, it was as if she was talking about going out on a trip.

Song Chongjing frowned, he looked at her and said after a moment of silence: "What do you want to play?"

When Xi Mengyao heard this, he smiled slightly, but then she extended her hand out.

Then, he saw a metal hoop occasionally appear on her hand.

This thing was a type of bracelet on the body belt of a guard, it was basically the same, but the matching ring was different.

"What is this?"

After Xi Mengyao heard this, she chuckled: "These are naturally good stuff."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the toy and carefully waved it in front of them. Only then did they see that the patterns on it were carved with royal runes.

With a single glance, one could tell that his origins were not simple.

"This is an meticulously crafted belt accessory," he frowned and said, "You came out of Third Prince Palace?

"

"Smart!" Xi Mengyao praised.

After saying that, she turned around and walked around in a circle. She found a teacup and placed the item inside. "When I came here earlier, I felt that there was something wrong with it. Then, I followed it."

"Look here." As she spoke, she placed the object into the water, and the teacup actually turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is …" Poison? "

"Not really." Xi Mengyao shook her head, then raised her cup and shook the thing once more. Then, the ring from before actually lit up a lot, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be dirt."

"Earth?" When Song Chongjin heard this, he was extremely puzzled.

He knew that the dirt had other colors, but even in the cold north, it was impossible to be this black.

It was like ink.

Moreover, there were no traces of soil beneath the surface.

Xi Mengyao laughed and said: "You don't understand, this is ore powder, it's about the same as dirt."

"Ore powder?"

"The paints drawn are all made from fine powder ground by top-quality ores. This earth is that sort of thing. However, it was not well-grinded. Instead, it was forcefully squeezed by a large amount of pressure, and thus became this type of dust. I think that when this person went there, he did not notice that this thing was attached to his belt and brought it here. "

His belt was the closest place to his body. Although his clothes had soaked up his sweat, there would still be dirt on it when it was hot. Furthermore, those people didn't seem to wash their clothes very well, so there was definitely a layer of grease on it.

It was not surprising that this thing was attached to it.

"Look, there are so many things attached to it. I'm guessing he stayed there for quite some time." Xi Mengyao said.

"Ore, you said, he went to the hunting grounds?" Song Chongjing only thought for a moment, then understood.

If one were to talk about a place with ores, it would be the hunting grounds.

They were two huge mountains, and normally, no one would pass through them.

Only on a whim would the Emperor activate it. Behind it was a mountain of ore. There were many famous paintings by famous masters in the capital. Sometimes, the pigments they used were all taken from there.

However, this ore was only a little bit. After all, the hunting grounds were connected to the back, so it was impossible for anyone to enter.

"I don't know about that, but this is definitely not a random place that anyone can enter." Xi Mengyao said, and then sat down at the side, "I know that they hooked up with a mysterious organization in the Western Regions that is here to teach, but I still don't know what exactly these people are here for."

"I'm sure there must be some sort of agreement between the two of them. Either they are controlled by someone, or they are using that person to accomplish some sort of goal."

"There are indeed quite a lot of people coming from that group. If they want to find a place to settle down, they definitely wouldn't be able to do something like looking for a quiet place like that Gu Sha."

When Xi Mengyao first went there, she had thought that they would find a safe place to stay.

However, she quickly realized that was definitely not the case. That place should only be a place for them to rest.

So she thought maybe they were out somewhere else. Those people were plotting something like this, and it was impossible for them to be in the manor. Since it wasn't the temple, it must be their lair.

"I might as well take some time to check out the hunting grounds. Maybe I'll be able to find something good." Xi Mengyao laughed as if she had thought of something.

Just as Song Chongjing was about to speak, the door opened.

She turned her head to look, only to see Song Chongjing's expression changed slightly, she was baffled, and it was Song Chongjing who coughed: "Who is it?"

Lu Ming replied from outside. "It's me."

Hearing that voice, Song Chongjing could not help but frown, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he did not let it out, he only sighed, and said to Xi Mengyao: "Then you can leave."

Xi Mengyao was confused: "He came here to discuss this matter. Why would I leave?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Song Chongjing frowning. Seeing that he was truly angry, she shrugged her shoulders and did not speak, but instead sighed, not forgetting to drink the lotus root soup. After secretly cursing a few times in her heart, she then pushed open the door.

"You …" Lu Ming was surprised.

But Xi Mengyao had only closed the door briefly, and after saying a few words to him, she turned and left.

Seeing him like this, Lu Ming understood a little.

He stood at the side with his head bowed, looking at his back before letting out a deep breath, only to see Song Song Chongjing staring at him with a darkened face, his entire body had a smile plastered across her face: "This subject, congratulations to the Prince."
