"Sir, this person is the palace maid next to the imperial concubine. He said he was doing things for the imperial concubine. He accidentally got lost here. The younger one pointed out the road conditions for her and was planning to go back." The officers and soldiers did not want to cause trouble for themselves, so it would be more beneficial for them to help Mei Xin first.

"Since you are lost and you are the one around the imperial concubine, someone should be escorted her." The man raised his head coldly and ordered: "Come, escort this person back to the palace."

The innocent and diligent person has no good intentions, so Mei Xin said anxiously: "No need, I have a low status, how dare I trouble the escort of the adults? Besides, this official has already pointed out the road conditions for me, so I can go back by myself."

"I am just going to escort you back, why are you nervous?" The man said, walking towards Mei Xin step by step.

Mei Xin was naturally nervous. After avoiding the disaster, she came again. She had no mental preparation at all and could not cope with such sudden accidents. So she said in a panic: "I have never been able to stand up for the big man since I was a child, so I was nervous and rude for a moment, and I hope the adults will atone for the sins."

"I can't stand the big man, but I can serve the eldest prince and the imperial concubine. It seems that the big man in your eyes is really not small?" The man sneered, but he looked up at Mei Xin, as if he had already confirmed that Mei Xin was his cyst's prey.

Mei Xin realized that the visitor seemed to be prepared, otherwise she would have just made a random sentence, but was investigated so deeply by him, so she said in fear: "Sir, you have a lot of them, so don't make things difficult for me. I just accidentally went to the wrong place. Please let me go this time."

The man was unmoved at all. He accidentally noticed that Mei Xin was hiding something, so he said coldly again: "Have something hidden in your arms, take it out for me to see."

Mei Xin nervously protected the child in her arms. When asked about the vital points, she said in panic: "Sir, please spare me. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to escape from the palace, so I stole some things from the palace and beg me to let me go."

"It depends on what you stole." After the man finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the followers beside him to steal the things in Mei Xin's arms. Mei Xin turned around in panic and ran away. She couldn't reveal the child, otherwise she would definitely be facing silence.

"Stop, don't run... grab her..." Several men who later rushed towards Mei Xin.

Mei Xin wanted to protect the child while looking for a way out. Seeing that the person behind her was about to catch up with her, she turned around and fled desperately, and her physical strength was obviously exhausted, but she still rushed forward desperately.

I don’t know if it was a trap set or Mei Xin’s unintentional act, but she ran desperately, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of her. Song Xiaojing stood in front of her like a sculpture, and Mei Xin took a few steps back in panic.

At this time, the man who caught up with him immediately stopped behind Mei Xin. The man in charge walked up and nodded to Song Xiaojing and said, "Princess, the person has been brought over, this is this person."

Song Xiaojing waved her hand and gestured, and the man nodded and stepped aside. In the deep night, Song Xiaojing was dressed in night clothes and her head was covered with a cloak. It could be said that only one face was exposed, and it was the beautiful face mixed with the gloom that was as deep as the night.

"Mei Xin, I didn't expect that we would meet in this situation, did you?" Song Xiaojing walked up to Mei Xin with her smiley expression.

Mei Xin knew that this was a trap designed by Song Xiaojing, and she didn't need to waste her efforts. Moreover, since Song Xiaojing could come to stop her late at night, it was obvious that she came for the child. So she said calmly: "The princess arrived late at night, and it seems that I have a great face."

"You and I are also from the same yard, so why can't I give you this little face?"

Mei Xin smiled indifferently, "That servant, thank you for your love."

Song Xiaojing had no time to waste it, so she suddenly said, "We are not secretly talking about it. I am here late at night. I believe you should know why?"

"This child can be handed over to the princess, but if I have something to ask for, I hope the princess can help me." Mei Xin had no ability to protect the child, so she could only choose a wise choice.

Song Xiaojing said coldly: "Let's listen."

"This child is also the blood of the Song family. Can the princess remember the favor Song family has given you for many years. I will be grateful to you for the life of this miserable child." Mei Xin knelt on the ground, kowtowed Song Xiaojing deeply, and raised the baby sleeping in her cradle in her hand and handed it to Song Xiaojing.

Song Xiaojing glanced at the cradle child, then looked back from the bottom of her eyes, and the little palace maid who was following her came forward to take the child. Song Xiaojing calmed down her tone slightly, and she said again: "Mei Xin, how many years have you been in the Song family?"

Mei Xin thought for a moment, "I don't remember how many years it has been, because I was adopted by the two elders of the Song family since I was a child. It has been sixteen years since I remembered it."

"You are also part of the Song family. I am considering that I fulfill your request for your loyalty, but..." Song Xiaojing paused for a moment, and she looked at Mei Xin coldly. Her originally gentle eyes suddenly became cold and ruthless and said, "You have to pay the price for this."

Mei Xin smiled indifferently. She didn't know the so-called price that Song Xiaojing said, but she knew that it would never be a good thing. Whether it was good or evil, Mei Xin knew very well that she could not escape, so she still said calmly: "I am born to be a lowly person. If I can die under the princess, it would be my lifelong honor. I just want the princess to give me a happy life."

Song Xiaojing didn't expect that Mei Xin could face life and death so calmly, so she said coldly: "You have lived too smart in this life. Such a person usually has no good ending."

Mei Xin smiled desolately. She had never imagined the fear of death, or how she would die one day in the future. She really couldn't find the right emotion for the sudden death, or was caught off guard, but she wouldn't die so painfully, so she said softly: "I don't feel miserable if I can be the soul under my own sword."

"Then I will fulfill you." Song Xiaojing raised her head to the man beside her and gestured. After the man nodded and understood, Song Xiaojing turned around and gradually disappeared into the night.

Mei Xin didn't know yet, and was about to wait for her death. Suddenly, she felt a heavy blow on the back of her head. She fainted on the ground. Two of the men, carrying her, hurriedly disappeared into the night.

The officer and soldier who arrived later hid in the dark in order not to cause trouble for him, watching what had just happened, and then followed behind the men. He also wanted to find out some of the situation and win some credit for himself.

Gao Yuanshang used to morning exercises in the morning and then participated in morning court affairs, so he got up very early. He didn't want to disturb Song Anle, but found that Song Anle had woken up and was looking at him stupidly.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Gao Yuanshang gently stroked her cheeks, revealing endless happiness on his face.

"With you by my side, I can't bear to fall asleep." Song Anle also gently stroked his forehead, carrying endless satisfaction. She hoped that she could share her anxiety about this matter with him.

Gao Yuanshang was a little sad, outlining the curve of the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "If you do this, how dare I accompany you every night?"

Song Anle snuggled in his arms again, and she also said softly: "I would like to stay awake every night, just to wait for you every night."

Gao Yuanshang held her and gently comforted her. They felt their own inner satisfaction. After a short period of time, Gao Yuanshang said dotingly: "Silly, go to bed again, I'm going to get up."

"I'll change your clothes for you." Song Anle said, then got up by himself. Gao Yuanshang grabbed her and said, "Hey~ I'll just come by myself, you don't have to get up for me specifically."

Song Anle stayed up all night because she was worried about Mei Xin, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to go out to ask, so she took the opportunity to get up with Gao Yuanshang, so she said softly again: "I haven't seen you practice swords for a long time, I want to see it again."

"Have you seen me practice sword?" Gao Yuanshang spoke in an obviously questionable tone. Because the place where he practiced in the morning was basically no one would approach except for the secrets of the place, and even without his permission, no one dared to disturb him, so he was curious why Song Anle had seen it.

Song Anle said shyly: "I have peeked at it before."

Gao Yuanshang was no longer curious this time. He must have been in the palace for the time he was not in the palace. He had limited places to practice morning. I still remember the time he almost injured Song An in a morning exercise. Whenever he thought of it, he was still scared.

Gao Yuanshang smiled with a playful smile: "So you have already locked in me."

Song Anle pouted her little mouth and said with a dim look on her face: "If it weren't for this, how could I be so scared under your sword?"

Speaking of this matter, Gao Yuanshang obviously became stern and said: "You also said that if I hadn't stopped in time, you might have..."

Gao Yuanshang wanted to speak but stopped, and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he was glad that accident, but it seemed that he had not walked out of the thrill.

"So what if I die? At least I can die at the hands of my beloved person, which is a pity." Song Anle disagreed with what he said, and even had no distracting thoughts mixed in it.

Gao Yuanshang still said with a serious expression: "Don't talk nonsense, and you are not allowed to mention the word "death" in the future. I don't like this word, especially if it comes out of your mouth."
