Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 165: Demons and Monsters 9

Gong Yuanzheng stopped talking and turned to leave.

As he walked, he was secretly competing with himself in his heart.

This woman, Shangguan Qian, clearly has ulterior motives, but she still pretends to care about Zheng Gong. She is really annoying.

After returning to Zheng Palace, Gong Yuanzheng immediately summoned his guards and deployed specific matters to strengthen defense.

He decided to supervise it personally to ensure the safety of Zheng Palace.

The chirping of birds in the early morning broke the silence. Meng Qiqi got up from the bed full of energy. The sunlight filled the windowsill, and her mood also brightened.

After Meng Qiqi washed and dressed, she followed her maid to the hall.

She saw Gong Yuanzheng already waiting there. His face was still a little pale, and he looked like he had not had enough rest.

Meng Qiqi walked quickly to his side and said softly, "Master Zheng, why are you up so early? You should get more rest."

Gong Yuanzheng smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm just used to getting up early."

The two sat opposite each other, and the maids brought them a sumptuous breakfast.

Meng Qiqi had a poor appetite and just ate a few bites.

Gong Yuanzheng noticed her strange behavior and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Qiqi shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, Master Zheng. I just don't have much of an appetite."

Gong Yuanzheng frowned slightly: "You still need to eat more, so that you can recover faster."

He picked up some dishes and put them in Meng Qiqi's bowl, his eyes full of tenderness.

Meng Qiqi's heart moved, her face turned slightly red, and she started eating silently.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Meng Qiqi's slightly red face, thinking that she was so shy because of his somewhat offensive behavior, and a feeling of joy surged in his heart.

He said nervously, "Miss Meng, when you get better, what are your plans? Could you please stay at the palace gate for me?"

Meng Qiqi raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She said hesitantly, "Master Zheng... I..."

Gong Yuanzheng interrupted her, "Miss Meng, since you came to Zheng Palace, I have become much more interesting in my daily life. I hope to always be by your side."

Meng Qiqi was deeply moved after hearing these words. She looked at Gong Yuanzheng and nodded hesitantly.

Seeing this, Gong Yuanzheng smiled brightly. He took Meng Qiqi's hand and said, "Let's go for a walk and feel the beauty of this morning."

The two of them walked side by side in the Zheng Palace Garden, and Gong Yuanzheng was in a very happy mood.

However, at this moment, a figure slowly approached.

Meng Qiqi looked up and saw that the person coming was Shangguan Qian.

She was wearing a white long dress, with a beautiful face and elegant temperament.

Shangguan Qian walked up to the two of them and greeted them with a smile.

When Gong Yuanzheng saw Shangguan Qian, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Shangguan Qian suddenly appeared in Zheng Palace just to get medicinal herbs.

However, her appearance at this moment made him feel awkward.

Meng Qiqi looked at Shangguan Qian with some surprise. She didn't expect to see Shangguan Qian in Zheng Palace.

Shangguan Qian seemed to sense Gong Yuanzheng's discomfort. She smiled softly and said, "It seems I've come at the wrong time, disturbing Master Zheng and Miss Meng's pleasure."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Meng Qiqi quickly said, "Miss Shangguan, since you're here, let's take a walk together."

"Then I'd rather obey than submit." Shangguan Qian replied with a smile, but his eyes kept glancing at Meng Qiqi.

Suddenly, Jin Zhong ran to Gong Yuanzheng's side and whispered in his ear, "Master Jiao, I have something to talk to you about."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng said something to Meng Qiqi, then turned around and left the scene with Jin Zhong, completely ignoring Shangguan Qian himself.

Along the way, Shangguan Qian deliberately chatted with Meng Qiqi, and his words were full of hints, trying to find out her true identity.

"Miss Meng is truly a hidden talent. Not only is she beautiful, but she also knows so much. I guess she comes from a famous family, right?" Shangguan Qian asked softly.

Meng Qiqi's heart tightened. She sensed Shangguan Qian's intention, but she remained calm on the surface. "Miss Shangguan, you are too kind. I only know a little bit."

"Oh? I wonder if Miss Meng knows the words behind the universe and the dark yellow?" Shangguan Qian suddenly changed the subject and asked directly.

Meng Qiqi's heart trembled, but she immediately regained her composure: "Heaven and Earth, Mysterious Yellow? I've never heard of it."

A hint of doubt flashed across Shangguan Qian's eyes, but she did not ask any further questions. Instead, she continued chatting with Meng Qiqi.

However, she was secretly thinking in her heart: What is the origin of this Meng Qiqi?

Why did she know nothing about Wu Feng's secret code?

Could it be that she really has nothing to do with Wu Feng?

Or was she really the daughter of a merchant, Meng Qiqi? Was I overthinking it?

"However, Miss Shangguan reminds me of an old friend." Meng Qiqi looked at Shangguan Qian with a barely perceptible cunning glint in her eyes.

Shangguan Qian's heart moved. Could it be that she discovered something?

But she still maintained a calm smile on her face: "Oh? Which old friend is it?"

"She is also a very beautiful woman, and like Miss Shangguan, she is smart and clever." Meng Qiqi said meaningfully: "It's a pity..."

She hesitated to speak, causing Shangguan Qian to ask curiously, "What a pity?"

Meng Qiqi sighed softly: "It's a pity that she had such an unfortunate fate and eventually passed away. However, if she were still alive, perhaps we could have become very good friends."

Shangguan Qian sneered in his heart after hearing this.

This Meng Qiqi is indeed not simple. He wants to test her with just a few words.

But she was no pushover, so she feigned sadness and said, "How pitiful! This deceased person must have been very outstanding."

"Of course." Meng Qiqi nodded: "She is a unique and extraordinary woman in the world."

"Then I really envy that old friend." Shangguan Qian said lightly.

Although the two people's conversation seems harmonious, there are actually undercurrents.

The two of them were in a lush green garden when an ancient and elegant pavilion came into view.

The pavilion has a unique shape and blends in with the surrounding environment.

Meng Qiqi suggested, "Miss Shangguan, why don't we sit down under the pavilion, drink tea and enjoy the view."

Meng Qiqi gently touched the stone table and picked up the tea set on the table with graceful movements.

He started pouring water and making tea, and every movement was as natural and smooth as flowing water.

Shangguan Qian watched quietly, secretly admiring in her heart.

"This should be this year's new tea. It seems that Miss Shangguan and I have the honor to taste it together." Meng Qiqi handed a cup of fragrant tea to Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian took the teacup, took a sip, and the fragrance of tea spread in her mouth.

She nodded slightly in appreciation.

"Good tea." Shangguan Qian said.

"Miss Shangguan really understands tea." Meng Qiqi smiled and said, "However, although this tea is delicious, it is not as complicated as the human heart."

Shangguan Qian's heart trembled. Was this hinting at something?

She raised her head and looked directly at Meng Qiqi with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"What do you mean, Miss Meng?" Shangguan Qian asked.

"It's just a sigh." Meng Qiqi smiled and said, "Things in this world are often not as simple as they appear. Just like this cup of tea, it smells fragrant, but it may have a different taste when you drink it."

Shangguan Qian listened and raised a faint smile: "Miss Meng, what you said makes sense. However, I always like to be direct and honest, and don't like to beat around the bush."

"Haha, Miss Shangguan is really a straightforward person." Meng Qiqi said with a smile, "I hope we can keep communicating like this."

The two people's eyes met in the air, like a silent contest.

"It's getting late. I should go back." Shangguan Qian stood up and smiled slightly. "I had a great chat with Miss Meng today. I look forward to seeing you next time."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Meng Qiqi alone in the pavilion.

After walking out of Zheng Palace, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The confrontation with Meng Qiqi made her feel exhausted, but at the same time, she became more convinced that this woman was no ordinary person.

Meng Qiqi is a scheming person, worthy of being the daughter of a businessman, and she speaks very carefully.

It’s better to have less contact with her in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble for yourself.
