There was a maid leading the way in front, and two maids following closely. Meng Zhi was supported by Chuan'er. When they were about to reach the gate of Qinyuan, Meng Zhi turned around and waited for Meng Wan.

"Is the Crown Prince's wife okay? Were you scared by me?" She said with a chuckle.

"It's okay. My mother has an old illness. She gets uncomfortable in winter. If it wasn't for my third sister getting married today, she wouldn't even go out." Meng Wan smiled and said, "You didn't sit in the sedan chair. I wonder if you are frozen."

Meng Zhi followed Meng Wan's gaze and looked at the hem of her skirt, then smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's not cold today. I don't know if I'll have the chance to come to your yard next time, so I have to take a good look."

Meng Wan did not respond, and he and Meng Zhi entered the courtyard one after another. There was already a servant from the palace standing at the door of the main room holding a bundle. Chuan'er hurriedly stepped forward and took it, and Mother Kong lifted the cotton curtain.

Meng Zhi stood at the door of the main house and watched the two maids coming in. She turned to Madam Kong and said, "I'd like to trouble this Madam to take these two people from our house to have some tea over there."

Mother Kong quickly responded, "Yes, I will arrange it right away. I thought you two must be hungry this morning, so I have arranged for you to go to the kitchen to get food."

One of the taller ones forced a smile and said, "No need. We will help the concubine change her clothes."

"There's no need for you two. It was me, a girl, who caused the trouble, so she should be punished. Please wait in the tea room. It won't take long. I guarantee that I will return the concubine to you in good condition." Meng Wan said with a smile.

"What? Are you going to watch me take off my clothes?" Meng Zhi tilted her head and seemed to be smiling, but her eyes were cold. "This is our Meng family, or are you afraid that someone will harm me?"

"I dare not. It is because the prince has given the order, and I dare not disobey," said another maid with a blank expression.

The maids in the palace all have ranks, and these two must be of high rank. Meng Wan knew from their behavior that they must have been sent by Prince Cheng to follow Meng Zhi, to monitor who was talking to Meng Zhi, and to stop Meng Zhi from saying things she shouldn't say.

After hearing this, Meng Wan was anxious and had no choice but to bring Meng Zhi to Qinyuan, just to find out what she wanted to tell Meng Qi. This time, four eyes, no, eight eyes were staring at her, what could she say?

Meng Zhi smiled slightly, walked into the house, and without being greeted, went straight into the east room. When she saw a screen on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you two are worried, just wait here." After saying this, he turned around the screen and went to the inner room.

The two maids saw Meng Wan followed in with Chuan Er and knew they couldn't go in any further. Although they were ordered by the prince to follow closely, they couldn't go too far. With the screen between them, it was impossible for Meng Zhi to say or do anything she wanted to do.

The two servants of the palace followed Chuan'er and also wanted to turn around the screen. Chuan'er turned his head and smiled, "Would you two sisters wait in the hall for a while? It was me who accidentally soiled the concubine's dress, so I should be the one serving her. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins." After saying that, he stuffed two purses into the hands of the two women at an angle where the maid couldn't see.

Mother Kong saw the four people standing outside the screen. Meng Wan and Chuan'er accompanied Meng Zhi to the inside of the screen, and she quickly told the little maid to serve tea, water and fruit. The two maids looked at each other and sat down outside the screen, one on each side.

The three of them stopped, and before Meng Wan could speak, Meng Zhi quickly took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, took off a hairpin from her head, twisted it behind her with her hand, and a black thing similar to a modern pencil popped out.

Meng Wan and Chuan'er both showed surprised expressions, but Meng Zhi quickly wrote on the paper:

"We don't have much time, so let's chat and write at the same time. Let's talk about the jade thing last time."

Meng Wan and Chuan'er looked at each other and remembered what Meng Zhi was talking about the jade.

"I think the girl next to the second young lady is a good one. I was also watching the situation in the room that day. She is very patient." Meng Zhi said as she wiped off the words she had just written with a handkerchief. There was no trace left, but her hands were still working.

"Prince Cheng is making a big move now, so everyone, including us, is being watched very closely. Those two are just watching me, not only when I go out, but also when I am in the mansion, they are following me."

Meng Wan looked at him in shock, but Meng Zhi got anxious, patted her hand, and pointed at the screen. Meng Wan recovered and smiled, "It was originally bullying. When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner. Why did you go after my girl?

"I met Meng Qi in the palace a while ago. It was really inconvenient for us to talk, so she asked me to look for you."

"Your name is Chuan'er, right? Please tell me what happened later that day. I just heard what they said and I only have a vague understanding of it. It's not satisfying at all."

Chuan'er calmed down and spoke carefully beside them, and the two of them lowered their heads and started writing again.

"Well, my fourth sister told me, just tell me if you have anything to say," Meng Qi wrote.

"The Emperor is dying. He is hollowed out. If all goes well, he may survive until next year. If not, he may die after the New Year."

"Is it true? I haven't heard Erye mention it before"

"Let alone your palace, even the palaces of several princes probably don't know much. Don't forget, Prince Cheng's mother is the queen. If she wants to hide something, she can still do it. And if something bad really happens, it will also be convenient for them and their son."

"So, you have never seen the jade pendant at all. Oh, I thought you really took it, but you somehow threw it away. I was also thinking of asking you what the ancient divine object looks like." Meng Zhi cooperated with Chuan'er at the right time. Chuan'er admired her very much at this time. She was really doing two things at once.

"Imperial Concubine Xiang should have figured it out, but she's not sure. As for the extent of Prince Duan's preparation, I don't know. Let Meng Qi check it out herself. And Xie Hai is Prince Cheng's man, you don't have to suspect anymore. Meng Juan is just a cover, haha, using his own daughter as a cover. Meng Hai has now raised a lot of people and horses for Prince Cheng, but I really can't find out where these people and horses are, and who trains and commands them. This is very important."

Meng Zhi wrote so much in one breath and shook her hands vigorously in exhaustion. She interrupted Chuan'er at the right time and said, "Ha, you are so awesome. You should teach my girls a lesson when you have the chance. They are a bunch of blockheads and have no vision at all." She raised her voice when she said the last sentence. Even at such a tense moment, she did not forget to tease the two outside.

Meng Wan looked at Meng Zhi's dancing and gasped, "Madam Concubine overestimates her. She was just holding on that day. She was terrified when she came back and had to lie down for several days."

"There is a secret passage in Prince Cheng's Mansion that leads directly to the Imperial Palace. The entrance to the secret passage should be in the Prince's study. I can't find the exact location. As for where it leads to the Imperial Palace, I'd better let Meng Qi check it herself."

"So, I have never seen any jade pendant at all. I was really wronged." Chuan'er said with a little grievance.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I was wondering, which girl would dare to take such a valuable thing?"

"You asked me to tell Meng Qi so much, what is your purpose? If Prince Cheng didn't...wouldn't you have followed..." Meng Wan wrote.

"He can't do it. He can't sit in that position at all. So, I have to find help and a way out for myself. I won't get close to King Jing. Counting King Duan, there is only King Rui. King Rui is neutral. No matter who sits there, he will be needed as a shield. So, I just hope that when King Cheng is... Meng Qi can save me, not only me, but also my mother and brother. Then, I will take revenge."

After writing this, Meng Zhi looked up, and Meng Wan saw the tears in her eyes. After a while, Meng Zhi wiped her eyes fiercely with the back of her hand, wiped off the original words, and continued to write, "I want Meng Hai's family and Meng Changfeng to die. And I will do it myself, just like my father took the knife and stabbed it into his body. I will stab Meng Hai and Meng Changfeng's bodies little by little, and watch them bleed to death little by little."

Meng Wan raised her head and looked at Chuan'er, who was also shocked. Then she reacted and pretended to be calm and said, "For what happened that day, I have to thank the concubine. If it weren't for her words, Madam Hong would never have let me go. I thank the concubine."

"What's the big deal? My last name is Meng too. Tell me if there are any interesting things that happened after I left."

Meng Wan took the hairpin and said, "But, you just said that it's hard to get news from Prince Cheng's Mansion, so how can you pass it on to us?"
