Chapter 248

"It is possible, but she will not have this opportunity." Li Shou had already made arrangements, so he was calm and calm, but he found that Meng Shisan was as calm as him, "Aren't you afraid?"

Meng Shisan knew what Li Shou was referring to: "There is no way General Qiao's sword can be put on my neck. If that's the case, what's so scary about it."

"You are not only sincere, but also confident." Li Shou sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion and motioned for Meng Shisan to sit down as well. "There is still some time in the evening, so I can talk to you."

Finally getting to the point, Meng Shisan sat down opposite him: "What do you want to say to me, Your Highness?"

"Gu has no objection to Qiao Qiancheng's return to the capital, and it is natural. But if he comes back too soon, it will expose the fact that he left the place where he was guarding without receiving the order. Gu Xicai, I want to To protect him, you have to cover up for him." After Li Shou told Meng Shisan about this urgent matter, there were more important things waiting for him to do, so he didn't have any extra words at this time and went straight to the key points.

"How many days late does General Qiao have to come back before it's considered normal?" Meng Shisan asked.

"On the day when my father received the urgent letter from Qiao Qiancheng requesting him to return to Beijing to send Qiao Sang on his last journey of [-] miles, with less than two hours in between, my father agreed and made a decree to let him Gan Quan left Beijing on the same day and set off for Lingnan as soon as possible." Li Shou said roughly, and then said, "Count the days and use the fastest horse speed, changing horses without changing people. Traveling day and night, Qiao Qiancheng will be the fastest. We can’t enter the city until three days later.”

Meng Shisan nodded and asked: "Your Highness left the palace specifically to tell me this. What do you want Yaoyao to do?"

"Guess." Li Shou felt that it was not difficult to guess with his eldest cousin's intelligence.

Meng Shisan did guess it.

But she didn't expect that even the Meng family would not be able to truly trust her so quickly, tell her everything, and let her do it. Instead, it was the noble Prince of the East Palace in front of her who not only told her everything, but also He also plans to entrust her with important tasks.

"Your Highness is not afraid that Yaoyao will fail and disappoint His Highness?" she asked.

"You will not disappoint me." Li Shou firmly believed that the person who could appear in his dream would not disappoint him. Even if he was wrong in the end, his eldest cousin was not the person in his dream. With her performance these days, he also believed that she would be able to do what he asked her to do well.

"It didn't take long, but Yaoyao didn't know that His Highness actually trusted Yaoyao so much." Meng Shisan picked up the teapot and filled Li Shou's teacup. She could clearly remember that not long ago, he treated her so well. Everything she said and did always questioned her authenticity inadvertently, "Your Highness, can you tell Yaoyao the reason so that Yaoyao can feel more at ease?"

"Catch the koi with your fingers, pierce the thick arm with a chopstick..." Li Shou gave an example, but did not give all of them, "I saw it in my dream. Although I can't be sure whether that person is you, but What she did in Gu's dream is exactly the same as what you did in reality. This is the reason."

"That person? Who is that person? Why did Your Highness think it would be me?" Meng Shisan wondered, "Just because I and that person are coincidentally identical in certain behaviors?"

"Do you think it's a coincidence?" Li Shou asked rhetorically.

Meng Shisan said: "I just think that the person in His Highness's dream cannot be me."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Then tell me, Your Highness, why do you think that if certain behaviors are similar, it must be the same person? Or in the dream, that person was born just like me?"

Li Shou shook his head: "No." Meng Shisan was stunned: "What?"

No idea, what is he talking about?
"I didn't see her face in my dream, and I don't know how she was born, or whether her appearance is the same as yours." Li Shou looked at the sky after answering, "It's getting late, let's get down to business. I will discuss this matter with you in detail after you enter the East Palace."

It turned out that he had been asking her to go to the East Palace, and he was talking about his dream, and in his dream, there was a person very similar to her.

Meng Shisan asked the last question: "Before we get down to business, can your Highness tell me that that person is also a young girl?"

"Exactly." Li Shou nodded without hesitation. He had no doubt about this and could give her a definite answer.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Meng Shisan thought that there must be something else he wanted her to see in the East Palace, or something else, otherwise His Highness would not have repeatedly emphasized that she must enter the East Palace before he could explain it to her.

Then we can only wait until she enters the palace.

"I want you to help me meet Qiao Qiancheng, are you willing?" Li Shou asked.

"His Highness wants me to stabilize General Qiao after he is scheduled to enter the city tonight, so that General Qiao can investigate Miss Qiao's death clearly in these three days, and then show up in the city. In this way, Qiao will Can the general avoid the crime of not being recalled to Beijing?" Meng Shisan completed what he wanted to say.

Li Shou smiled softly: "Yao Yao is really smart."

"Your Highness, Yaoyao is willing to help stabilize General Qiao." Meng Shisan said sincerely. She had wanted to get in touch with Qiao Qiancheng. Of course she was willing to seize the opportunity that was presented to her now. But she also had hidden worries, "However, His Highness also said that General Qiao is a warrior. No matter whether he is a civil servant or a military general, everyone has times of urgency. Miss Qiao is the only daughter left after General Qiao lost his eldest son. No matter how sensible General Qiao is, After verifying the truth, I am afraid that I will rush back to Qiao Mansion to see Miss Qiao for the last time. By then, it will not be easy for me to stop her, and I will not be able to stop her."

Li Shou had already thought of this problem: "Don't worry, we can stop it."

"Your Highness, have you made arrangements?" For Li Shou to say this, Meng Shisan could only think that he had already made arrangements.

"Yes." Li Shou nodded slightly, "Gu asked you to come forward because Gu wanted to win over Qiao Qiancheng. He couldn't bring it to the surface and leave it to others, such as Chi Nan or Fu Feng, let alone them. , once they participate, it is no different from directly wooing Gu. And if it is left to people other than them, Gu does not trust it very much, and cannot completely trust others to handle it. "

Meng Shisan also filled up his teacup: "Your Highness, my surname is also Meng, and I am the only one besides my eldest brother and Mr. Ji."

"You are different." Li Shou asked her to handle this important matter because of his considerations, so her reminder would not change his decision.

"What's the difference?"

"You are a girl. It is common for you to go out shopping and play in the city. You will not attract anyone's attention. Furthermore, your brazen reputation has resounded throughout the capital. You can go wherever you want. Grandma will not hold you back. You, let alone others, can't say anything about you. No matter how you expected it, you would never have expected that Gu would put you in contact with Qiao Qiancheng and help Gu and General Zhennan to create a win-win situation."
