"..." But since you have already married into my estate, how can I guarantee that you won't be drawn into this current situation? "

After Song Chongjing heard her words, a strange feeling arose in his heart, and his tone became heavier.

How could he hope to be in the middle of a chaotic battle?

However, his fate was already decided when he was born. He had to be dragged into this mess.

Even though he was still young, he was still suspected many times.

In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to do so by himself. After that, he was bestowed with the title of Prince, and because he was still young, he was constantly on guard. Not to mention that he was constantly being tested, even the Consort Mother was often threatened by the empress dowager and didn't have a day of peace in the palace.

He had no choice but to request a war on the battlefield to serve the imperial government. His hot blood had long ago become incomparably cold in the battlefield.

Ever since he was young, he had watched as his own brothers destroyed each other. She was clearly smiling, but when she turned around, she immediately became gloomy. There was no mention of the brotherly and brotherly courtesies in the book, so naturally there was nothing else, everyone had a kind heart.

But who would want such a difference?

Furthermore …

As he thought, he looked down at Xi Mengyao. This person had clearly nearly been killed by her own sister, but now …

As he thought about it, he asked directly, "Could it be that you only think you can escape?"

Hearing his words, Xi Mengyao turned his head to look at him in confusion, but then, he shook his head.

"Isn't this what I'm doing? Whether I can escape or not is my business."

Finished speaking, Xi Mengyao also smiled as she stretched, and said, "I don't like talking to others, if there's anything else you want to say, say it, if you don't want to, then you can leave, but..."

As she spoke, she looked to the side and saw that the wall over there was completely covered in darkness.

Song Chongjing also realized something, and turned his head to look, only to see that there were more and more eighth brothers.

"It's getting late, the tired birds are going back to their nests."

Xi Mengyao seemed to be talking about the simplest matter. As she said that, she didn't forget to pour herself a cup of tea and slowly taste it, "I've heard the old saying that there are two sides to a blade that hurts others and themselves. It seems so to me too. "

Song Chongjing understood what she meant.

This thing was sent over to follow him. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to learn two sentences in a day, but once it was heard of something important, it would be the fire on the prairie that would burn his body to the ground.

However, who was the one who sent this over? As he was thinking, he looked down at Xi Mengyao, only to see that she had only picked up the military manual at his side, and carefully read it, completely ignoring him.

Song Chongjing was helpless, he knew that his probing this time, had probably stepped on her sore spot.

Helplessly, he frowned and coughed. He sighed and said, "I will take care of this matter."

With that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

At this time, Xi Mengyao stood up and said with a smile, "That's right, then about the matter of going to the Third Prince's Palace …"

His words had a deeper meaning behind them. Song Chongjing was helpless as he turned around to look at her. He was actually still looking at him with a pleased look.

Helplessly, he shook his head and sighed, "Even so, you have to wait for a few more days. You must have suffered a lot of shock during this trip, so you should be tired. Rest more."

Xi Mengyao nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that Song Chongjing was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and called out to him: "Your Highness, since you know that I'm bored, you don't mind me going out for a walk, right?"

"…" After Song Chongjing heard this, he looked at her.

This time, Xi Mengyao was really bored, she raised her eyebrow and looked at him.

"Whatever you like, it doesn't matter where you come from. However, since I've been targeted, you're probably not much better off. If something happens, don't expect me to save you."

This sentence seemed to allow her to move freely, but looking at his gaze, she knew that this was yet another silent threat.

Xi Mengyao shrugged her shoulders, "Then forget it, my life is more important."

"..." "Do your best." Song Chongjing didn't know what kind of response he should give to her attitude, but seeing that the bird was indeed about to fly away, he could not say anymore and could only leave this place in a hurry.

Killing a few birds wasn't a difficult task.

However, since someone had eagerly offered him such a good bait, he was in the right mood to catch them to catch a big fish.

Xi Mengyao looked at his departing background and only gasped in surprise.

She began to wonder what he was doing.

At the end of the day, all of this was just a battle between several groups of people. If she was involved, she would inevitably not be able to stand on the sidelines. At the same time, she would also be able to protect herself. It would be hard to avoid harming some people's interests.

When the time came, people would not even think of her as a person here.

"Why are these people so bored!"

As she spoke, she threw the book aside. It was already late in the night, and she had no intention of sitting down. She stretched out her arms and turned around, returning back to her room.

After Song Chongjing left the room, he was originally going to find someone to deal with eighth brother's matter.

He had only taken two steps when he noticed something behind the door.

He turned his head to the side and his expression darkened.

He narrowed his eyes and walked over to take a look. His eyes were even colder. After standing at the side for a while, he turned around and saw that Xi Mengyao had already returned.

"She …" He opened his mouth.

Even though he had said that, he was still more suspicious of Xi Mengyao's motive.

If it was as she said, then the previous act of messing around was because he did not want to be dragged into this mess. It was understandable.

However, she was still secretly observing the exit beside her. Furthermore, the one before …

However, she could have said nothing at all, and even if that was the case, he wouldn't have been more suspicious.

Before he reached the final step, he directly pointed out his goal.

Could it be that the army was in danger?

However, Xi Mengyao seemed to be telling the truth, as she completely complied with what she had said previously. She did not come to the entrance of this small courtyard, and immediately went back inside.

If he was not guarded against this, he could indeed send people over to monitor him.

However, if this was a trap that she had set on purpose, would she fall into another trap?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. However, he was no longer able to say these words out loud. He could only stare at the open door in the courtyard, his brows tightly knitted together.

He let out a long sigh and turned around to see the butler of the mansion walking out. He coughed and beckoned him over.

"Your Highness." The butler seemed very surprised that he was here.

However, Song Chongjing merely shook his head and lowered his voice. He glanced at the birds that were still standing on the branches and said, "Find a person with good lightness skills. Follow these little fellows and see where they will settle down at in the end."
