The carriage galloped smoothly all the way, but the sensitive Zhao Ling noticed an abnormality with the road being taken. This was not the way to return to the Gongfu!

She lifted the curtain and asked the driver, who had his back turned to her, sharply, "Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

The driver didn't respond, but he waved his horsewhip, increasing his speed even more, filling the sky with dust on the narrow mountain road.

Zhao Ling calmly observed the surroundings. This was a mountain road that she had never traveled before, with a cliff on the right and a cliff on the left. Vaulting was unrealistic now.

At this moment, she couldn't help scolding herself for being stupid in her heart. When she came to the Justice Department, in order not to let Meng Yuan know that she was unhappy, she deliberately let Xue Hao away.

At this moment, the carriage drove out of the mountain road, came to an open flat land and stopped.

The driver was an honest middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance, he climbed out of the car tremblingly, and bowed to Zhao Ling again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, young miss. I'm being forced to do so. If I don't follow his orders and do what he says, he will kill me."

"Who is he?" Zhao Ling asked sharply.

"Miss, I don't know. While waiting at the entrance of the penal department, a man with a hat came over and threatened Xiao with a knife, asking Xiao to bring you here. Otherwise, he will kill me. "The coachman couldn't help shivering when he remembered the scene when the man in the bucket hat held a knife to his throat. "Please, come down. I have to be on my way now if I want to keep my life."

A man wearing a hat? Who is he, and what is the purpose of all this? Zhao Ling was at a loss for a moment. Seeing that the driver was really unaware, she came down from the carriage and said lightly, "Okay, you can go."

When the driver heard this, he unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at Zhao Ling. Seeing that this woman looked petite and weak, he could not bear it for a while, but after thinking about it, his own life was at stake, so he quickly said to her. "Be careful of yourself, girl," and immediately drove away in a carriage.

In the quiet and open space, only Zhao Ling's slender figure was left. She was dressed in a light blue robe standing against the wind, her robe fluttering, like a lonely green lotus.

After some minutes, this ethereal beauty looked up at the sky and couldn't help but curse in her heart.

Shit! Who was so bored of life that would get her to this inexplicable place? Was there a significant meaning to bringing people here but the person not showing up, leaving her alone in the wind on the top of the mountain?

Zhao Ling was helpless and had to observe the terrain carefully. This open space was surrounded by forests, except for a path that seemed to have been stepped on in the dense forest on the left. Thinking about it, this was the only way to go. So, she could just try it and see where it went.

She walked slowly along the path in the forest, and at first she was worried that she would trigger a formation like the last time in the Fanyin Forest. But obviously this time she thought too much, because everything went smoothly.

After walking for a long time, she was surprised by the scenery in front of her.

This was a huge peach blossom forest. Looking up, the pink petals of the mountain trees were blooming in the wind, and the branches are full of branches. Under the reflection of the warm sun in the afternoon, it was like a fairyland on earth, and the beauty was very unreal.

It was already midsummer at this time, and it was reasonable to say that the peach blossoms had already withered. Where else could there be such a gorgeous peach blossom forest?

Zhao Ling took a closer look and found that the peach blossoms in this peach blossom forest were actually made of pink silk.

It turned out that such a large peach forest was actually full of fake flowers!

In Zhao Ling's view, the more unreal thing here was a woman sitting under the peach blossom tree and playing the qin.

She was dressed in a moon-white floor-length dress, with pink patterns embroidered on the wide hem, and a long smoky purple light silk on her arms. The blue silk was light. Although she was facing down, she still couldn't hide her stunning face.

The melodious sound of the violin slowly overflowed from her hands, which seemed to be as mysterious as the ancient times, making her even more ethereal as she appeared to be slightly floating.

What surprised Zhao Ling even more was that this woman was actually... Concubine Li!

Zhao Ling stood nearby and listened quietly, while Concubine Li was obviously immersed in the sound of her piano. Without raising her head, her hands kept moving.

After a long time, the song was over, and Concubine Li's voice came out slowly. "Miss Zhao, I have long admired your name."

Although the appearance was superficial, but the voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley. It was serenely gentle.

In the palace that day, Zhao Ling didn't pay much attention to Concubine Li because she kept her head down, but today, when she saw this woman, she was actually a true beauty. Even a bit more beautiful than the ice beauty, Leng Aoshuang.

However, shouldn't Concubine Li stay in the deep palace? Why did she come here? Somebody must have gone to great lengths to sneak her out of the palace and brought her here, but why? Zhao Ling couldn't help but ask herself, and looking at the situation here, and the events of the recent past, she was certain that Concubine Li was the one that arranged for her to be brought here.

"Concubine Li, what's the purpose of you leading me here?" Zhao Ling didn't bother to be polite to her, and asked.

Hearing this, Concubine Li finally raised her head slowly, revealing a peerless and charming face. She pursed her lips and smiled, and the peach blossoms all over the mountain suddenly paled.

"Ms. Zhao is really a cheerful person." As soon as she finished speaking, her body moved, and she lept into the air like a light-hung, and in a blink of an eye, she landed in front of Zhao Ling.

Concubine Li Fei actually knew martial arts! Zhao Ling was shocked again.

Standing in front of her, Concubine Li's beautiful eyes slowly swept across Zhao Ling's body, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

"Why did I lead you here?" She tilted her head and paused for a while. Then in a swift movement, raised her hand and swived it in front of Zhao Ling, who was not expecting it.

As she waved her hand, Zhao Ling smelled a familiar scent, but she had no time to think about it as she lost her consciousness.
