The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 546 Missing

She said, "As for what you see, Your Highness, I just found the tombstone and discovered this strange thing, but I don't know the reason yet. But don't worry, Your Highness, this strange thing will not hurt me or Your Highness. At most, it will prevent people other than Your Highness and me from approaching the tombstone."

Tong Chen was extremely surprised and a little scared. Even though he knew that this strange thing would not hurt anyone, he could not help but say, "Your Highness..."

"Okay." Li Shou chose to trust Meng Shisan. "Since Yaoyao said she won't hurt me, then there won't be any danger. If you can't come in, then you can't come in. It's not a big deal. Leave."

“…Yes.” Tong Chen was still worried, but he could only obey.

He quickly retreated back into the darkness, hiding in the dense canopy of the locust tree.

As he crouched in the treetops, he couldn't help but think to himself, if Your Highness listened to Miss Meng's words so much, and if Miss Meng really became the mistress of the Eastern Palace in the future, and further became the mother of a country, then it would not be impossible for Your Highness to become a tyrant known throughout the ages.

He sighed.

I hope that is not the case.

Meng Shisan faintly heard a sigh and looked towards the source of the sound, which almost made Tong Chen fall off the tree.

Tongchen looked serious: How did Miss Meng know that he was on this locust tree?
Li Shou looked in the direction Meng Shisan was looking. "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness just said that he had something to tell me?" After talking about the ten-step obstruction of the tombstone, Meng Shisan remembered this.

Li Shou paused and said, "Yes."

"Your Highness, please speak. I am very calm." She did not forget what he had told her before.

He no longer hesitated and told the story from the beginning: "Today you came to Qingbei Mountain, Bai Zhuo reported back to the East Palace, and Fu Feng told me the truth. I was worried about you, so I asked Chang Qing to go to the Zhanshi Mansion to tell Chi Nan. After hearing this, Chi Nan was also very worried about you, so he asked for leave from Zhanshi Huo and went straight out of the city to chase you. Chi Nan went ahead of me, but when I saw that it was drizzling, I was afraid that the mountain road would be even more difficult to walk. You have been sick since you were a child. Although I heard from Yu Minglu that your health has improved a lot, I was still worried, so I couldn't sit still in the East Palace, and left the palace after Chi Nan to chase you."

Meng Shisan had already understood the general idea after hearing this: "Your Highness means that my elder brother had come to Qingbei Mountain earlier than Your Highness? Then why haven't you seen my elder brother yet? Did Your Highness ask my elder brother to go back to the city and the yamen first?"

Even though she asked this, her heart was beating non-stop.

She had a bad feeling.

If nothing bad had happened, His Highness would not have bothered to describe this in detail to her.

Meng Shisan's three questions in a row made it increasingly difficult for Li Shou to speak: "Yaoyao, Chi Nan... is missing."

"Missing?" Meng Shisan's heart, inexplicably, settled down at this moment. She thought again and again, and her mind slowly calmed down. "Your Highness, are you saying that when my eldest brother came to Qingbei Mountain to look for me, he disappeared on the long stone steps that wind up Qingbei Mountain?"

Li Shou nodded: "After Fu Feng escorted Gu Jin to the Taoist temple, he went to look for Chi Nan. He also asked all the Taoist nuns, but they all said they had never seen Chi Nan. Fu Feng then went down the stone steps to look for him. Until now, no news has been sent back."

The Taoist temple is at the top of Qingyun Peak. There is nothing above the temple. Ji Kuan also searched the small locust tree forest and the cliff behind the temple, but there was no sign of Meng Renping.

In this case, Ji Kuan could only look along the stone steps.

After listening to Li Shou's narration, Meng Shisan no longer cared about the tombstone and the two coffins in the grave, or even the female corpse that looked exactly like her. She had to put them aside for the moment.

It is important to find my eldest cousin first.

She turned around and walked back. Li Shou followed her: "Are you going back?"

"Your Highness is in a bad mood, so you can continue walking around. Tongchen is here to protect you, and there is no danger here. I am not worried, so I will leave first." Meng Shisan kept walking towards the Taoist temple, "I have to go find my elder brother."

"So you followed me out tonight because you were worried about me?" Li Shou pressed the issue. He felt that even though his cousin had rejected him, she did have some feelings for him.

"I made His Highness angry, so He came out alone and even went into this small locust tree forest. I don't know, but I had to come and see His Highness anyway." Meng Shisan saw that they were almost at the exit of the small locust tree forest. She was already walking very fast, so she simply trotted, "Your Highness, Yaoyao will go first."

Li Shou watched Meng Shisan running away with her skirt lifted up, and said with satisfaction: "Yu Minglu's medical skills are really better than his master. After only a few months of treatment, Yaoyao can run and jump."

Tongchen, who was in the dark, heard this and thought that he would have a good talk with Tongguang as soon as he returned to the East Palace.

"Tongchen."

"My subordinate is here."

Li Shou called out and Tong Chen appeared again. He ordered, "Go and tell Bai Zhuo to take good care of Yaoyao and don't let anything happen to Yaoyao tonight."

"Yes." Tong Chen took the order and said hesitantly, "Since Your Highness doesn't want Miss Meng to have any accidents at night, why don't you just give an order and order Miss Meng to stay in the Taoist temple's wing and rest?"

"Do you think I don't want to? That's a question of whether I want to or not, and a question of whether Yaoyao listens or not." Li Shou's tone was quite helpless.

Tong Chen said: "I think Miss Meng would not dare to disobey."

"She doesn't dare to do it openly, but she definitely dares to do it secretly." Li Shou said this without any displeasure in his heart. Instead, he said with a little pride, "My eldest cousin is a brave girl, very different from other girls."

Tong Chen was speechless: "...I will go and tell Bai Zhuo about His Highness's order."

"Let's go." Li Shou knew that if he was still in the small locust tree forest, Tong Chen would never leave him to look for Bai Zhuo's message.

So he didn't walk around aimlessly, but left the small locust tree forest and returned to Zhishang Taoist Temple.

Once back to the Taoist temple, he returned to his room.

With Chang Qing waiting on him, Tong Chen turned around and looked for the Baizhuo messenger who was coiled on the roof of the Taoist temple.

After delivering the order, he quickly returned to Li Shou's room and continued to protect Li Shou in secret.

Bai Zhuo was prepared. When he heard Li Shou's order from Tongchen, he was not surprised at all. He followed the order and continued to coil in the shadow of the Taoist temple's roof.

Originally, Commander Ji wanted him to stay here because he wanted him to cooperate with Tong Chen to protect His Highness and Miss Meng. Now that His Highness has given the order, he naturally has to obey His Highness.

But in his opinion, Your Highness is really worrying too much.

After Miss Meng returned to her room in the Taoist temple from the small locust tree forest, she never came out again. As long as Miss Meng did not leave the Taoist temple in the middle of the night and wander around somewhere else, there would be no accidents.

Then he could easily complete the orders from His Highness.
