The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 510 Sword Pointing

"Gone?" Ji Kuan widened his eyes.

"No more." Xingzhi replied.

Ji Kuan was speechless and choked with emotion.

He turned around to look at Li Shou who was sitting behind the desk at the top of the hall, then turned back and looked at the thick clouds in the sky outside the hall, and had to admit a fact.

There is a reason why God gave him an invincible talent in martial arts.

After returning to the Meng Mansion from Quexian Tower, Baozhu returned to Taichen Courtyard and entered Mingxiao Hall, where she saw Meng Shisan personally feeding the silver fox again: "Miss, Shopkeeper Jin said that as soon as there is any news, let Zhuo Quan come to report."

"Very good." With Jin Baixi's people going to investigate, Meng Shisan thought there would be results soon.

"Miss, who do you think poisoned County Magistrate Zhu?" Baozhu also squatted in front of the silver fox, watching the silver fox leisurely eating a bucket of fresh fish prepared for it by Shangchun.

After spending several days with it, she was no longer afraid of the silver fox. She discovered that it didn't bite anyone at all!
Meng Shisan answered without even thinking: "He's a brainless person."

Baozhu thought for a moment and said, "Whose prince could this brainless person belong to?"

Before she was ordered to leave the house and go to Quexian Tower, she heard the young lady mention the people who poisoned her, and they were the Second Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince.

The young lady answered her that he was a brainless person, and the three princes did not seem to be completely brainless, so he must be someone under the three princes' command.

Meng Shisan stood up and stretched, then took two steps back and sat down in the upper seat. She looked at Silver Fox who was eating hard and smiled without saying anything.

Before Baozhu came back, she let the silver fox absorb her demonic energy.

Meng Shisan didn't answer, and Baozhu smartly didn't ask any more questions. After Silver Fox finished eating the fish, she walked out of Mingxiaotang carrying the empty wooden barrel.

Jin Yin had just fried glutinous rice meatballs with her new seasoning and brought a plate into Ming Xiaotang for Meng Shisan to taste.

Meng Shisan ate one and found it delicious, so he ate one after another.

The silver fox was full and was lying beside Meng Shisan's legs with its eyes closed. When it smelled the fragrance, it opened its fox eyes and looked up. When it saw the glutinous rice meatballs, it stood up immediately.

It stared at the meatball intently.

"Miss, Xiaoyin seems to want to eat too?" Jinyin said curiously upon seeing this.

Meng Shisan glanced at the two meatballs left on the plate and quickly ate them one at a time.

silver fox:"……"

Jin Yin: “…”

As Shangchun and Gao Jin just walked into Mingxiaotang, they both saw this scene.

"Miss, Gao Jin is here." Shangchun said with a smile.

Gao Jin stepped forward and saluted: "Miss."

Meng Shisan's cheeks were puffed up. He first said to Jin Yin, "The glutinous rice meatballs you just prepared are delicious. Make more. I will eat them for dinner. Also send some to my grandmother's courtyard, my aunt's courtyard, Meijing's courtyard... and Wu's courtyard."

"Yes!" Jin Yin smiled so happily to get the affirmation from his young lady.

When the silver fox heard it, it forgot about it and hurried forward to rub against Meng Shisan's skirt.

Meng Shisan immediately understood: "You have it too. When it's time for dinner, gold and silver will be brought to the table and given to you to eat." Silver Fox was satisfied, and lay down on the ground and closed his eyes again.

Shangchun, Jinyin and Gao Jin were all amazed: Xiaoyin really understands human nature.

After the gold and silver were taken away, Baozhu came back and stood in the hall with Shangchun, listening quietly to Gao Jin's report.

"The eldest lady asked me to find out the grudge between Mr. Cui Qi and His Highness the Fifth. I have checked it out, and there is only one thing that can be called a grudge." Gao Jin reported, "Seven years ago, when Bixu Manor was about to open, His Highness the Fifth took the initiative to find Mr. Cui Qi and wanted to invest money to run Bixu Manor together with Mr. Cui Qi. I don't know how the discussion went, but I only found out that they parted on bad terms in the end."

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince wants to make money and also wants to be tied to Master Cui Qi." Meng Shisan couldn't help but sigh that Li Luo's plan was both greedy and audacious.

Up to now, Cui Yu had never been close to any prince, except for the fact that Li Shou would often go to Quexian Tower and Baolai Tower in disguise to have tea and drink wine, and Cui Yu could be considered close to him. However, according to Feng Zheng, Cui Yu had never been close to any prince.

But seven years ago, unexpectedly, Li Luo had already hit Cui Yu in the face with the abacus beads.

Cui Yu refused with a backhand, and Li Luo must have been angry.

Gao Jin continued, "I also found out that all of Master Cui Qi's properties have been disturbed by His Highness the Fifth Prince in the past seven years, but Master Cui Qi has always handled them skillfully. Apart from that, it has not been exposed. The one that has caused such a big fuss, and in full view of the public, is the first time that the lantern mountain at Bixu Manor collapsed on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."

"Once it happens, there will be a second time." Meng Shisan thought to herself that it was no wonder that Cui Yu had thrown this hot potato into her hands. Looking at the scene that Li Luo had caused at the Bixu Manor during this year's Banhua Lantern Festival, it seemed that he had no intention of letting it go peacefully.

"Miss, what you mean is that the Fifth Prince is starting to be serious?" Shangchun followed Meng Shisan. In addition to being in charge of all the affairs of Taichen Courtyard, everything Meng Shisan had done or wanted to do had never been hidden from her. She guessed this from what happened before and after.

"What does it mean to be so serious?" Baozhu asked.

Meng Shisan said: "It means to be serious."

Shangchun guessed it right.

Gao Jin couldn't help but glance at Shangchun.

Shangchun is so beautiful. When Shangchun combed her hair herself, he and Gao Yuan expressed their regret in private. Now seeing that Shangchun is still so smart and can even guess the young lady's intention, he feels even more regretful.

"As for the collapse of the lamp mountain, I think the person who was behind it was probably the Fifth Prince." Gao Jin expressed his thoughts.

Baozhu asked again, "Why did His Highness the Fifth Prince take the lead? The lantern mountain collapsed, killing and injuring many people, so even rumors of 'the wrath of heaven' spread everywhere!"

"This is the effect he wants." Meng Shisan thought the same as Gao Jin. She also felt that it was at least 80% to 90% likely, and Li Luo was the leader.

The purpose is not difficult to guess.

Shangchun hesitated and asked, "The sword is pointed at the Second Prince?"

Meng Shisan looked at Shangchun with appreciation: "That's right."

Li Shou wanted to use the flood disaster in Lueyang last year to deal a heavy blow to Li Heng, but he was blocked by Emperor Zong. As a result, to this day, Zhu Xiye and many other evidences have been in Beijing for a long time, but Li Heng is still protected by Emperor Zong and has not suffered any harm.

Li Luo and Li Shou were originally rivals, but if they had the same goal, it would be fine for them to add fuel to the fire and attack Li Heng together first.

Meng Shisan suddenly remembered what her eldest cousin had said, asking her not to interfere and explaining the complicated situation.

She lowered her eyes in thought.

It seems that she needs to put her trip to the East Palace and talk with His Highness on the agenda as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jin seemed to have answers to some of the inexplicable phenomena he encountered during his secret investigation.
