Chapter 509 Got it

"It's not strange." Cui Yu also sighed casually.

Zhuo Quan reported from outside the door: "Shopkeeper, Miss Baozhu is here. She said she has something to say to you on the orders of Miss Meng."

Jin Baixi looked at Cui Yu.

Cui Yu waved his hand: "Go ahead."

"Yes." Jin Baixi followed Zhuo Quan back to the front lobby.

Not long after, Jin Baixi returned to Cui Yu and repeated to Cui Yu word for word what Meng Shisan asked Baozhu to bring.

Cui Yu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the collapse of the lantern mountain enough for her? She is now concerned about Zhu Xiye's safety?"

"That's right." When Jin Baixi first heard Baozhu say that, he was also shocked in his heart, "Miss Meng... you are really generous."

Cui Yu sneered, "She is not bold, she is just bold. That's why she accepted the matter of the lamp mountain collapse that I gave her without hesitation, even though she knew there was something behind it, and it was not a small matter with many implications."

Jin Baixi frowned: "Seventh Master really intends to..."

"Why are you still talking about whether you take it seriously or not?" Cui Yu interrupted Jin Baixi, "I threw it to her, and she caught it, so it's a done deal."

"Then Seventh Master, aren't you afraid that Miss Thirteen will really return to the capital in the near future, and because you have thrown such a troublesome matter into Miss Meng's hands, Miss Meng will unreasonably provoke various major forces, and then Miss Meng will suffer because of this, and Miss Thirteen will hate you?" Jin Baixi was worried about Meng Shisan, but he was more worried about Cui Yu, who would fall out with Miss Thirteen because of this.

Cui Yu said weakly, "...No."

If it succeeds, he is helping the Meng family and the Eastern Palace.

If he loses, he won't sit idly by.

But in this process, she will be affected to some extent.

If she can bear it, then there will be no problem. If she can't bear it, then she will be hurt.

He had already figured out that she had sought support from Li Shou, not only because her last name was Meng, but also because she believed that Li Shou's position as crown prince would remain secure.

In this case, there is nothing wrong with him giving her a push and a help.

As for harm, as long as she is a daughter of the Meng family, it is impossible for her to be completely unharmed.

Only by fighting back after being hurt can she grow in the sea of ​​blood and achieve her wish and make her dream come true.

If she fails to grow and is defeated in the process, it would be better for her to see the truth earlier, withdraw from those cunning conspiracies and schemes, and be the eldest lady of the Meng family, so that she can save her life and live in peace.

Even if Thirteen sets foot in the capital again and meets him again, he will probably understand his actions.

As for his lack of confidence, it was not because of Thirteen, but because of Miss Meng's violent and fiery temper at that time.

She still hasn't gotten over the riddle at the tea party, which shows that she cares about her Thirteenth Aunt just as much as he does.

Jin Baixi could tell Cui Yu was lacking confidence in his words, so he didn't say much. He just said, "That's good. I'll go and arrange for an investigation into Magistrate Zhu's poisoning."

"Yeah." Cui Yu watched Jin Baixi walk out of the house. Thinking of the scene when he avoided Meng Shisan when he came, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

He didn't think much about it at the time, it was purely an instinctive reaction. It was not until now that he realized it. Once he realized it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Well, she had to call Thirteen aunt. After all, he was her elder, and it was only natural for elders to give way to younger ones and care for them.

He clenched his fist and coughed lightly.

It was not too embarrassing. Zhu Xiye's coming to the capital was the result of Li Shou's execution before his report. Li Shou paid a price for this, and Emperor Zongdi showed him special favor and did not punish Zhu Xiye for leaving the capital without summoning him.

What price Li Shou paid for this? The three princes Li Heng, Li Luo and Li Cong were all unaware of the specific details and could not find out by trying.

After all, I didn't dare to inquire too much.

Any words that are too ostentatious will undoubtedly stroke the dragon's whiskers of Emperor Zong, the real dragon.

Li Shou was the crown prince, and he had paid a price unknown to them under the majesty of Emperor Zong. If they dared to touch Emperor Zong's dragon beard, no matter who they were, they would be dealt with by Emperor Zong with a rage.

Emperor Zong has always made a clear distinction between the Crown Prince and other princes.

The Eastern Palace was the legitimate heir to the throne, and no matter how many times he was punished for his mistakes, Li Shou would never be punished. Instead, it was always Li Shou's two companions who took the punishment.

They are different.

In the eyes of their father, as long as they made a mistake and the punishment was not death, he would be willing to punish them severely.

By then, both the forces and the wings will inevitably undergo a bloodbath.

Their actual power was originally not as great as Li Shou's. After another bloodbath, how many would be left?

They are not stupid. It is impossible for them to poison Zhu Xiye blatantly during such a sensitive period and be so stupid as to confess themselves.

Therefore, when the news that Zhu Xiye was poisoned in the mansion spread, Li Heng was shocked, Li Luo frowned, and Li Cong's joy at the hope of curing his crippled leg was immediately diluted by more than half.

They were suspicious of each other, wondering which idiot was the one who took action at this time?
If it was done at any other time, it wouldn't bother the remaining two people, they wouldn't care about anything, and might even watch and laugh.

However, things happened to them silently, and they felt very wronged at the moment, and they all exploded in anger in their own palaces.

Only the East Palace remained peaceful and harmonious.

Li Shou sat at the top, reading piles of memorials, as well as several practical articles that the Hanlin Academy had just sent over and that Grand Secretary Lu was very optimistic about, and some affairs of the Zhanshi Mansion that even Chancellor Huo could not decide.

There were many state affairs and government affairs to attend to, and he could not neglect the teachings of Grand Secretary Lu, so he was indeed very busy.

If it weren't for the great flood disaster in Lueyang last year, which ordered his father not to leave the Eastern Palace at will, he should be observing government affairs in the Wenhua Palace instead of staying in his own Changxin Palace.

After listening to Ji Kuan's report about Zhu Xiye's poisoning, he said without even raising his head: "Got it."

understood?
that's it?
Ji Kuan looked at Chang Qing in confusion.

Chang Qing had no reaction.

Meng Renping is currently in the Zhanshi Mansion handling his official duties as the Prime Minister and has not yet come to the Eastern Palace. When Ji Kuan saw that Chang Qing didn't even look at him, he suddenly felt at a loss for a solution.

When he reached the palace gate, he waved to Xingzhi.

Xingzhi walked up the stone steps quickly: "Sir."

"Go to the Zhanshi Mansion and tell Chi Nan about Zhu Xiye's poisoning. Come back and tell me what Chi Nan said." Ji Kuan instructed.

"Yes." Xingzhi immediately left the East Palace and walked quickly to the Zhanshi Mansion on the bank of the Jinshui River east of the imperial city.

After a cup of tea, Ji Kuan waited at the palace gate and replied to Xing Zhi: "What do you mean?"

Xingzhi reported: "Mr. Meng said he knew."
