Chapter 547 Turn Over

As soon as Meng Shisan returned to the Taoist temple's room, Baozhu and Chang'an had not yet gone to bed and were still waiting for her.

Seeing her come back, the four of them stared at her.

She briefly recounted the events of chasing Li Shou to the small locust tree grove, and then mentioned the disappearance of Meng Renping. Baozhu exclaimed in surprise, while Chang'an was a little confused.

Chang'an has not met Meng Renping yet.

She only knew that there was such a person in the Meng Mansion, and he was the master's eldest cousin.

I don’t know anything else.

Now she suddenly heard that Meng Renping had disappeared when he went to Shangqingbei Mountain. After a moment of confusion, she looked at Meng Shisan again.

Meng Shisan was also looking at Changan: "You go and look for him. Even if you have to turn the entire Qingbei Mountain upside down, you must find my brother back safely."

Changan understood, and said solemnly: "Miss, don't worry, Changan will definitely live up to your expectations."

The master wanted her to find the eldest son of the Meng family at all costs.

As long as her master gave the order, she knew the limits and knew she could let go and do something big. So finding a mortal in Qingbei Mountain was not a difficult task for her, the locust tree demon.

Changan walked out of the room. Baozhu was still a little confused: "Miss, how could the eldest master disappear in Qingbei Mountain? Or did he disappear on the way to find you? Turn it upside down... Changan is just a weak girl, how could she turn Qingbei Mountain upside down?"

She felt she couldn't.

After tonight, Baozhu quickly understood the real meaning of Meng Shisan's request for Chang'an to turn Qingbei Mountain upside down.

Meng Shisan actually wanted to go out and look for it herself, but given the capabilities of her human body, she was afraid that something unexpected would happen before she could walk far or go down many stone steps.

If an accident really happened, it would not only slow down Chang'an's search for his eldest cousin, but would also make those who care about him worry.

Now that His Highness is in the Taoist temple, she better be cautious.

After all, the safety of the crown prince is also very important.

Ji Kuan did not stay by His Highness's side because she went to look for her eldest cousin. She would not let His Highness get hurt in the slightest because of her no matter what.

Thinking of this, she thought of the water snake.

Just now in the small locust tree forest, Li Shou came within ten steps of the tombstone without being blocked by any magic. Could it be that the water snake on the sachet that she gave to Li Shou also followed him in?

At that time, she had just rejected Li Shou, and she wanted to please Li Shou so that this backer would not have a negative impact on her because of her rejection. Later, because the tombstone's protective magic was ineffective against Li Shou, her mind was completely focused on these two things, and she ignored the water snake that should have been inseparable from Li Shou.

Now that she thought of it, she tried hard to recall it.

Blank.

She didn't even notice whether Li Shou was wearing the sachet she gave him around his waist, let alone the little green snake on the sachet.

But... logically speaking, even Chang'an was blocked by magic, and the water snake had only been practicing Taoism for 600 years and couldn't even transform successfully. It would be impossible for it to get within ten steps of the tombstone.

So... Li Shou left the palace in plain clothes today and followed her to the Taoist temple on Qingbei Mountain without wearing the sky blue sachet she gave him.

Li Shou went to Qingbei Mountain today, and indeed he did not bring the scent sachet given by Meng Shisan. It was not that he did not want to wear it, but he decided to go out of the palace incognito at the last minute, and in the rush of changing clothes, he left the scent sachet on the table behind the dressing screen. The water snake was sleeping soundly at that time, and did not expect it to be left behind by Li Shou, so it did not follow.

Speculations are just speculations after all. Meng Shisan quickly asked Baozhu to leave the room and go to the next door to ask Chang Qing to confirm whether Li Shou was wearing the sky blue sachet she gave him.

Then Baozhu came back and said, "Miss, I asked Changqing, and Changqing said that Your Highness was wearing it today, but when he heard that Miss was coming to Qingbei Mountain, His Highness was anxious, so when he changed his clothes, he left the sachet behind the screen."

Sure enough, I didn’t wear it.

Meng Shisan nodded and said nothing more.

Li Shoujing's visit to Chang Qing, which was asked by Meng Shisan through Baozhu, left him grinning for a long time.

Chang Qing observed and said at the right time: "Miss Meng is still very concerned about your Highness... After all, she is a girl, so she is shy."

Li Shou didn't think Meng Shisan was thin-skinned. If she was really thin-skinned, it would not have been possible for his cousin to confront Lu Luo so forcefully in front of everyone at Quexian Tower and successfully rescue Meng Renji from Lu Luo's hands.

However, he still liked to hear Chang Qing's words: "It's okay. Yaoyao is still young, and I won't be an adult until next year. There is still time. I am confident that I can make Yaoyao willingly become my Crown Princess."

He said it with confidence.

When Chang Qing heard this, the nerves that had been tense since Meng Shisan rejected Li Shou finally relaxed.

Tong Chen, who was standing in the dark, listened with his brows furrowed even more.

He remembered that Tongguang had mentioned to him that His Majesty did not intend for the daughter of the Meng family to be the Crown Princess. The source of this statement was also reliable, as Tongguang had heard it by accident from Min Fan, the leader of the Imperial Shadow Guard.

The leader has always been secretly protecting Your Majesty. Among the Royal Shadow Guards, they are the ones who know the most about Your Majesty's thoughts and are the most reliable.

Think about it, never missed it.

This time, there shouldn't be any mistake.

But His Highness is extremely keen on Miss Meng being the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. Wouldn't that mean he will have to clash with His Majesty next year?

He felt that if that time really came, Meng Renping and Ji Kuan would probably be in big trouble again, being found guilty by His Majesty for no reason and having to be beaten with a cane for His Highness.

Chang Qing is different from Tongchen Tongguang. Tongchen Tongguang is influenced by the Imperial Shadow Guards. Even though their responsibility now is to protect Li Shou, they do not completely support Li Shou. They will think more.

Of course, no matter how much they think, it is useless.

Chang Qing understood this point very clearly, and he had already understood it as thoroughly as he could.

After all, he and Chang Zhu are different from Tongchen Tongguang. He and Chang Zhu have been serving Li Shou since they were young. They have been the master and servant since their childhood. This is very different from Tongchen Tongguang who was sent to Li Shou by Emperor Zong halfway through.

Therefore, when it came to Li Shou's desire to marry Meng Shisan, he and Chang Zhu had no choice but to support him, and they supported him wholeheartedly without any reason.

Seeing that Li Shou's mood had finally improved after being rejected, Chang Qing's mood also turned from gloomy to sunny.

"Has Fu Feng sent back any news?" Li Shou picked up a piece of vegetarian pastry on the table and took a bite. After the pastries were brought in, Chang Qing personally tested them to make sure they were non-toxic before they could be placed on the table.

He can eat it with confidence.

Chang Qing shook her head: "Not yet. Your Highness, don't worry too much. Young Master Meng is not an ordinary person. With Young Master Ji's full efforts in searching, I believe there will be good news tonight that Young Master Meng has been found safely. Your Highness, why don't you take a rest first? Once there is any news, I will report it to Your Highness as soon as possible."
