Regardless of whether it's a demon or a human, she can just beat them down.

Li Shou wanted to sigh, but felt that he shouldn't sigh. She was so strong, and in a bad situation where she could eat people without spitting out their bones, she was the best, she could not only protect herself, but also protect others.

When he gets crowned next year, if he can really marry her back to the East Palace and become his crown princess, then at least he won't have to worry too much about her.

At the same time, he didn't want her to face too much evil because of him.

Before leaving the Meng Mansion, he asked softly: "Yaoyao, please make a money bag for me."

There is a sachet. Although she did not make it with her own hands, she at least gave it to her with her own hands.

Although Meng Shisan didn't understand why he asked her to make him a money bag, since he was a dignified man in the East Palace, he should have no shortage of money bags, but since he asked, she had to agree: "Okay."

There is absolutely no chance that anyone else would have the opportunity to ask her like this. Even if she is her grandmother, if she doesn't want to or can't, she can always find an excuse to get away with it, and he is her backer, so he must have some privileges.

When the sun went down, Li Shou quietly left Beijing and went to Lueyang in person.

At the same time, Qiao Qiancheng had arrived on the official road leading to the capital.

He only brought one personal soldier, who was also his entourage who had been with him for many years. He brought his confidant Qicheng from Qiao's mansion and went to the battlefield with him.

"General, everything is normal. We will enter the city in about an hour." Qi Cheng just returned from exploring the front, "After entering the city, are you really not going back home?"

"Something happened to Sister Sang. I lost my sense for a moment and ran straight out of Lingnan. I woke up, but it was too late." He didn't regret it, so Qiao Qiancheng quickly asked another one who had followed him out. The entourage went back and pretended to be him, waiting for the decree to be delivered to the Zhennan General's Mansion.

"Qiguan is inseparable from the general, and he often pretends to be you. If he goes back and pretends to be you, waiting for His Majesty's order, no one will know that the general has left his post without permission." Qicheng was also worried. , but in front of his general, he can no longer let his frustrating words cause trouble for the general.

"No one else will know before I enter the city, but if I really enter the city tonight, based on time and horse speed, I won't be able to enter the city tonight." Qiao Qiancheng exhaled a long breath, " The crime of being recalled to Beijing is too serious, the Qiao family cannot bear it, and neither can I."

"That……"

"According to His Highness the Crown Prince's words... let's do it."

Qicheng responded: "No."

"Look at my appearance again. Are the pot ashes still there? Maybe you can see my original appearance?" It was almost time to rest and it was time to continue the journey. Qiao Qiancheng stood up and asked.

"It's still there, you can't tell." Qicheng's makeup was also covered in black ash.

Running all the way from Lingnan back to the capital, both the master and the servant used such simple and crude disguises to avoid many eyes and ears, and finally no one recognized them on the way.

If not, it might be difficult for Li Shou to keep him.

As for why the East Palace wanted to protect him, Qiao Qiancheng didn't need to think about it. He knew in his heart that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to win over him. In order not to alarm His Majesty and be exposed to others, the next arrangements could only be made in secret.

Therefore, even if he returned to the capital and entered the city, he would still have to bear the shame on his face.

"Let's go!" Qiao Qiancheng got on the horse, pinched the horse's belly, scolded lightly, and immediately took the lead.Qicheng followed soon after.

Xi Kuangjing knelt down and begged Meng Shisan to rescue Xi Yanwen. After learning of the victory, he returned home to confirm that his eldest sister was fine and that his father, who was abandoned in the backyard of his mansion, was also fine. He comforted her and shed tears. After endless calls to his mother, he asked Meng Renkang to take him into the Meng Mansion and knelt in the direction of Taichen Courtyard to thank him.

After that, he returned to Qingbei Academy.

Not long after Xi Kuangjing left, Xi Youyan woke up. When he saw that his eldest daughter had been saved, and the eldest lady of the Meng family came to the rescue, he asked Mrs. Niu to prepare a generous gift, and he wanted to come to thank her personally.

Mr. Niu wiped the tears on his face: "Master, Brother Jing said that he had knelt down to thank Miss Meng."

"Thank you?" Xi Youyan was stunned, "Why did Brother Jing go to the Meng Mansion to kneel down and thank you? When did he go? Where is Sister Chu? She didn't go? You didn't go?"

"Brother Jing went away very early." Mr. Niu recalled what Xi Kuang Jing had said to him before he left his house. "He and Master Meng were classmates and studied in the same hall at Qingbei Academy, so he He asked the Fourth Young Master Meng to take him into the Meng Mansion, and the Fourth Young Master Meng was kind-hearted and agreed. After that, Brother Jing was introduced by the Fourth Young Master Meng and met Miss Meng. He then asked Miss Meng to agree to go to the government office. The court will testify for Sister Huan. Miss Meng did what she said, and she really rescued Sister Huan from the tiger’s mouth of the second wife of the Qiao family in the court hall!"

Xi Kuangjing did not mention anything to Niu about what he promised to Meng Shisan in order to save his eldest sister.

Mrs. Niu didn't doubt that he was there. She only thought that her eldest son was capable. He was able to study at such a young age and could also move rescue troops to rescue her eldest daughter. This really comforted her.

Xi Youyan and Xi Yanwen, who were listening dumbfounded, were not as naive and simple-thinking as Niu.

The two looked at each other and saw big question marks in each other's eyes.

"Mother, what else did the second brother say?" Xi Yanjuan asked quickly.

Niu thought for a while: "They also say that Miss Meng is really gentle and kind-hearted. The rumors that Miss Meng is very fierce and arrogant are completely false. Sister Chu, you have also met Miss Meng. Is it really like Brother Jing said?"

"Do you still need to ask? Of course!" Just because the eldest daughter of the Meng family could save his daughter's life in the court hall, Xi Youyan concluded that what the eldest son said was absolutely right.

Xi Yanwen also nodded: "Yes, my second brother is absolutely right. Miss Meng is a very good person, and most of those rumors are false."

Fierceness is real, toughness is real, kindness and justice are even more real.

"Although Brother Jing has already thanked Miss Meng, he still needs to prepare a generous gift. Miss Meng saved Sister Huan's life. No matter how much we thank you, it is all due." Xi Youyan said.

Mr. Niu nodded and stood up: "Master is right, I will prepare a thank you gift right away."

When Mr. Niu walked out of the house, Xi Youya turned to look at his daughter sitting on the embroidery stool beside the bed: "You are also ready. When your mother has prepared the thank-you gift, she will hand over the greeting card. If you get a reply from the Meng family, you will follow. Mother will go with you."

"Okay, what about father?" Xi Yanchuan did not forget that her father also said just now that he would go to the door of Meng's house to thank him in person.

Xi Youyan first warned Xi Yanjuan: "When you and your mother go to the Meng Mansion, the eldest lady of the Meng Mansion will greet you. You must behave well, show sincerity, and thank Miss Meng properly." of life-saving grace.”

Then he smiled bitterly and said that the world was so cold: "I also want to go to the Meng Mansion to thank you. It's just that it's one thing for Mrs. Meng to see you mother and daughter. It's one thing whether Mr. Cifu, Meng Shilang, and Meng Mansion Prime Minister can meet me. unknown."
