Chapter 553: Avoid
What the young lady said to His Highness was no different from what His Highness said to comfort the young lady. They were both just words, but the reality was not like that.

Chang Qing noticed that Chang An was abnormal: "What's wrong?"

Baozhu shook her head: "Nothing."

No matter what the young lady wants to do, she can't hold her back!
As soon as Bai Zhuo returned to Qingbei Mountain, he immediately took the people who moved with him into an urgent search. It turned out that what Li Shou said about Bai Zhuo returning and Meng Shisan going back to the next room to rest was never followed up.

After all, Bai Zhuo did come back, but he did not stay in the Zhishang Taoist Temple to protect Meng Shisan in secret. Instead, he took a hundred people to find Meng Renping.

So, after careful consideration, Li Shou gave Tongchen an order that allowed him to do two things at once: "My room and Yaoyao's room are adjacent to each other, and there is a wall in the middle. You stay in the middle and be careful. If there is any unusual movement in either side, you must check to make sure everything is fine."

In fact, he wanted to make sure his cousin was fine, but he knew very well that once he said this, Chang Qing would kneel down to dissuade him, and he would have to spend some more time talking.

Well, he trusts Tongchen's ability.

Only tonight will Tong Chen guard him and his cousin at the same time. When the day breaks, all the fog will dissipate.

Li Shou didn't know that Meng Shisan couldn't wait until dawn.

She was still doubtful about her grandmother's instructions that she had not brought back from Baizhuo, but now that she had received the instructions, she was certain of the real reason why her cousin disappeared in Qingbei Mountain.

She came to Qingbei Mountain today because Chang'an had already arrived in Beijing and Shuishe was not with her. She wanted to see the tombstone that was fragmented in her dream, so she needed Chang'an to accompany her.

Chang'an is equivalent to her confidence.

No matter what happened to her on Qingbei Mountain, Chang'an could keep her alive. If she didn't say anything, even Baozhu wouldn't know, so her eldest cousin wouldn't know either.

Her eldest cousin chased her to Qingbei Mountain because he was worried about her health and was afraid that her frail body would not be able to walk up the long stone steps up the mountain.

Before this, before today, although she had already planned to go to Qingbei Mountain in her mind, she did not verbally tell Chang'an about it until last night.

At that time, besides Chang'an... there were only Baozhu and Shangchun around her.

In other words, besides herself, only three other people knew that she was coming to Qingbei Mountain today.

And these three people are all people she can trust.

So how did the news leak out?
Or maybe someone had been watching her whereabouts, following her all the way from the moment she left the Meng Mansion and walked out of the city gate to the moment she got off the car and walked up the stone steps of Qingbei Mountain?

If this is true, why didn't Chang'an discover it?

She no longer has any demonic powers, only a slight demonic aura. No matter how sharp her ears and eyes are, her abilities are not as good as before. And Baozhu is just an ordinary mortal, so she is even more so.

Therefore, how did the person who made my eldest cousin disappear avoid the eyes and ears of Chang'an, which has been practicing Taoism for 900 years?

Meng Shisan stood up thoughtfully, bowed to Li Shou, and quickly left.

Li Shou watched Meng Shisan, who was worried, leave. When Meng Shisan returned to the next room, he called Tong Chen out: "Yaoyao's condition is a little... not good. You should keep a close eye on her and make sure nothing goes wrong."

He couldn't explain why.

I just feel like what my cousin thinks and what she says are two completely different things.

Tongchen obeyed: "Yes." Changqing recalled the strange look that flashed across Baozhu's face just now: "Your Highness, do you think Miss Meng is still thinking about the disappearance of Master Meng? I think that if that is true, it is normal. After all, they are cousins ​​and are connected by blood. Master Meng has not been found yet. To put it more seriously, he is not even sure whether he is alive or dead. It is normal for Miss Meng to be worried."

He intended to dispel Li Shou's worries.

But it was of no use.

After Li Shou asked Tong Chen to retreat to the rooftop to continue guarding in secret, he also asked Chang Qing to guard outside the door of the wing room, saying that he should pay attention to the movements in Meng Shisan's wing room.

Chang Qing seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he said nothing more and continued to stand outside the door.

Baozhu lay on the side door and listened to the noise outside. She heard the door opening and closing, and Chang Qing mumbling something. She immediately turned back to the Arhat couch and said, "Miss, you are right! His Highness is really worried about you and asked Chang Qing to guard the door again."

After that, she was confused again: "Your Highness is really worrying too much. It's so late, where else can you go? Besides, it's pitch black outside. Even if you want to go out, you don't know which direction to look for."

If her young lady really went out to look for the eldest master at this hour, she would be groping in the dark and would not even know where to look.

She simply felt that His Highness was worrying too much.

However, she subconsciously felt that the young lady was not as obedient as she appeared to be when responding to His Highness.

So as soon as she finished speaking, Baozhu looked at Meng Shisan steadily, waiting for Meng Shisan's next move.

It was the young lady who ordered her to lie on the door and listen to the noise outside just now. Now she has finished it. If the young lady really wants to do something, she will definitely tell her to do it again.

Meng Shisan did want to do something away from Li Shou, but she had to wait until Chang'an came back to pick her up. Before that, she could only make plans in her mind.

Moreover, she had no plan to take the pearl with her.

Before Chang'an came to Beijing, she could only let Baozhu do it. Now that Chang'an is by her side, it is of course more convenient to ask Chang'an to do it.

In the face of danger, Chang'an is far better able to protect himself than Baozhu.

Especially after she learned that Shi Lanxi had robbed the ancient artifact from the people, she had already inferred that Concubine Shi De was also related to the evil. She then reminded His Highness and her eldest cousin several times that although the East Palace was in the imperial palace, it was not impregnable.

To this end, she even let the water snake set a small fire in the East Palace, so that His Highness and Master Ji would protect the East Palace more carefully.

But this is not enough.

She is a demon, and she knows the evil nature of demons better than mortals.

This evil nature cannot be simply distinguished as good or evil, but rather depends on the evil nature of the evil object.

For example, the evil spirit that made the eldest brother behave like a gecko was a weak evil spirit that was neither good nor evil.

For example, the evil spirit attached to the small red porcelain bowl, a family heirloom that Lu Luo helped her snatch from Shi Lanxi, was the residual soul of a kind-hearted Qilin Deer.

Now he has become Xiaoyin and serves her as his master. Although he still has evil nature, he will not deviate from the orbit of obeying her orders.

Therefore, when doing good, one will never harm innocent people.

Before Chang'an left the Taoist temple, just like the water snake that accompanied Li Shou to Lueyang before, he also left a magic circle on Meng Shisan's left hand.
