Meng Qi felt a little embarrassed and a little ashamed. Song Chengze looked as if she was deliberately reminding him of what happened last night, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"It's not just this. Wu Zhengda also brought back news that Meng Hai has started to take action."
"Ah? What does he want?"
Song Chengze shook his head. "I only know that Meng Hai has asked the emperor's uncle several times to patrol the border, but he's always refused. Wu Zhengda is watching closely, and I'm afraid Meng Hai might be forced to return if pressed. As for the details, we still have to wait for news from Wu Zhengda."
Hearing this, Meng Qi slapped her head and said, "Oh, I almost forgot something important."
Song Chengze rarely saw Meng Qi like this, so he grabbed her hand and said, "Just forget it. Why are you using so much force? Be careful not to hit yourself stupid again."
Meng Qi looked at Song Chengze pulling her wrist, and the scene of last night suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and a blush appeared on her face.
"When I got home yesterday, my grandfather asked me to tell you..."
Song Chengze listened to Meng Qi and gently let go of her wrist. When he heard Meng Hai ask Meng Changfeng to find a way to rent the horse farm on the other side of the west city gate, he frowned.
"Did the Marquis ask you to tell me?"
Meng Qi nodded. "Yes, Grandfather specifically instructed me to do so. I think Grandfather no longer trusts Meng Hai, but there's nothing we can do now. He can't rest assured with just my promise to him. Only if I can bring you something practical and useful will he feel at ease."
Song Chengze hummed. "A horse farm? What does Prince Cheng want a horse farm for? Or the one in the west of the city?"
"What do you think? Could it be that Prince Cheng wants to station troops there?" Meng Qi asked softly.
Song Chengze said, "It seems that he is ready to use force, or more precisely, to cooperate with the outside world."
Meng Qi understood. "There's a secret passage in the palace that leads to Chengtian Hall, and Meng Hai and his men are coming in from the west gate?"
"That's right, it must be like this. Meng Hai brought back quite a few people. It's impossible to bring so many people into the city, so they have to find a place to stay. The horse farm is good, it's big enough and won't attract much attention." Song Chengze said coldly, "The Marquis asked you to bring a message to me. I believe there are some other things he wants to tell me. I will ask Elder Lu to go there."
Meng Qi thought the same thing. The way Meng Changfeng acted that day was simply trying to find a way out for the Huainan Marquisate. She was happy to see Meng Changfeng tell Song Chengze about Meng Hai's situation, and the more the better.
"By the way, what you just said about Zhuang Jing."
Song Chengze raised his eyes, "What? Do you have a solution?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you last time about the girl my second sister helped me find?" Meng Qi said while pointing to her forehead.
Song Chengze said, "Is it the one who was sent to my mother's palace? But what does he have to do with Zhuang Jing?"
Meng Qi shook her head at first. In her past life, she only knew that this person was very important to Zhuang Jing, but she didn't know the specifics of their relationship. She had heard the maid talk about this while she was lying there in her past life. Zhuang Jing was also captured by Song Chengze at that time, and the girl with the mole on her forehead was found in the Rui Palace.
She remembered that the old woman said something about how she had never expected that girl to play such a big role in the prince's conversation. She said that the prince had brought the girl into the palace and then sent her to Zhuang Jing, and Zhuang Jing told her everything.
Therefore, Meng Qi believed that Concubine Lian should know something, or could follow the clues to find out the little girl's life experience.
Meng Qi nodded. "I really can't explain the specific reasons to you. I just think that Zhuang Jing's affairs involve more people in the palace. Why don't you ask mother to investigate carefully? Maybe you can find something."
Song Chengze narrowed his eyes at Meng Qi. He didn't know why Meng Qi wouldn't tell him the real reason why Meng Wan had helped her find the girl with the mole on her forehead. He knew Meng Qi must know something, but she didn't want to or didn't know how to tell him.
There were actually many things about Meng Qi that he hadn't understood, and he wanted to investigate them. But for so long, Meng Qi had always spared no effort for him, always caring about him, always putting the interests of the palace and herself first. So, he suddenly felt that in some things, knowing the outcome was enough; the reasons and original intentions were sometimes not that important.
"I see. Are you sober? Does your head still hurt?"
Meng Qi was wondering whether Song Chengze would bring Zhuang Jing to the palace or take that girl out, when she suddenly heard these words. She didn't react at first and looked at Song Chengze with her mouth half open.
Song Chengze was amused by her behavior. After all, she was still a little girl. She must have been scared last night. He didn't expect himself to behave like that. From the time he first experienced sex, for him, it was more of a physical need.
For a time, he even couldn't understand why other people were so excited when they talked about such things, especially his fifth brother who had such a habit.
Therefore, whether it was the palace maid who served him in the bedroom at the beginning, or the woman he married after he established his own household and got married, on the one hand he satisfied his own needs, and on the other hand he did it to continue his family line.
Of course, he couldn't deny that this was a pleasant thing, but it was only physically satisfying. He hadn't been with any woman for a while, and to be more precise, it was from the twelfth month of last year that an inexplicable feeling arose between him and Meng Qi.
He never knew that the feeling of two people doing nothing but just sitting and chatting could be so wonderful, even better than that.
He didn't know when it started, but he liked watching her, watching her change from being cautious in front of him at first, to being natural later, and then showing a little playfulness, and even making a few jokes with him.
