The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 557 Poisoned

"Master Ji!" Meng Shisan knew what Ji Kuan was wondering about, but now was not the time to talk about it, so she interrupted, "The most important thing right now is my brother's life. We can discuss other matters another day."

"Miss Meng is right. Chi Nan's safety is the most important thing right now." Ji Kuan did not ask any more questions. He quickly asked the East Palace guards who came with him to help and carried the unconscious Meng Renping onto his back.

He personally carried Meng Renping down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, he quickly returned to the city and went straight to the Imperial Hospital.

Meng Shisan was escorted down the mountain by two East Palace guards, and Chang'an carried Meng Shisan on his back the whole time.

Meng Shisan did not go back to Zhishang Taoist Temple, mainly because there were two guards there. Chang'an could not use his magic power to help Meng Shisan turn back into a sedan bearer and a sedan chair, so he went down the mountain directly.

The mountain road is not easy to walk on.

Especially the mountain road going down from Jiuquan Peak.

There was no road there originally. It was a new, rough, narrow mountain path that Ji Kuan had the guards of the Eastern Palace build as they climbed up the mountain following Chang'an when they were rushing to the top of Jiuquan Peak.

Not to mention that Meng Shisan was such a weak girl, and her body was weak due to the use of the mind-linking technique. Even the strong guards were panting after going up and down the mountain like this.

Only Chang'an seemed fine as he walked on the uneven path that had just been cleared. Not only did he feel like he was walking on flat ground, his breathing was extremely steady, and he was carrying Meng Shisan on his back.

The two guards were both surprised and worried.

They were amazed at Chang'an's amazing physical strength, and were even more worried about Meng Shisan who had fallen asleep on Chang'an's shoulder.

Before the commander carried Miss Meng down the mountain, he repeatedly reminded them to ensure Miss Meng's safety.

Now Meng Shisan is sleeping soundly, and it seems that his condition is not much better than that of Lord Meng who is unconscious.

Finally, they descended from Jiuquan Peak and returned to the foot of Qingbei Mountain. The two guards each carried a windproof palace lantern and had changed the candlelight three times.

One of the guards went to bring the horse left at the foot of the mountain, while the other guard asked Chang'an, "Miss Chang'an, did Miss Meng take a carriage when she left the city?"

"Yes, the Meng family's carriage is parked under the tree over there, and the coachman is guarding it. I would like to trouble you to inform the coachman and ask him to drive the carriage over immediately." Chang'an was very worried about Meng Shisan along the way.

To this end, while the two guards were not paying attention, she secretly used two small healing spells on Meng Shisan.

But just as she had said to Meng Shisan before, she was not good at healing techniques. The two small techniques used on Meng Shisan only made him feel less uncomfortable in his sleep and allowed him to sleep more peacefully on her back.

It is far from enough to cure the serious damage to Meng Shisan's vitality.

"Okay!" When the guard heard that the Meng family's carriage was indeed there, he quickly went in the direction indicated by Chang'an.

After a while, two guards, one brought back two horses, and the other found a coachman to drive the Meng family carriage to Chang'an.

Chang'an carefully carried Meng Shisan into the spacious carriage. After placing Meng Shisan safely on the thick and soft cushion, she sat beside him to protect him and asked the coachman to set off quickly and return home.

The Meng family's carriage went along with them, and two guards rode on horseback on both sides of the carriage and also followed them back to the city.

At the same time, Ji Kuan reported that Meng Renping had entered the Imperial Hospital for treatment. Li Shou, who was still staying in the Zhishang Taoist Temple, also received a report from the guards sent by Ji Kuan, and learned that Meng Renping and Meng Shisan had already gone down the mountain.

As soon as it was daybreak, Li Shou took Chang Qing and Baozhu, who was left alone in the Taoist temple, down the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ji Kuan went to notify the other Eastern Palace guards who were searching for Meng Renping at the five peaks of Qingbei Mountain, as well as the Meng Mansion security guards and others, who had also gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The guards of the Eastern Palace and the guards of the Meng Mansion formed two groups and escorted Li Shou back to the city in a grand manner. After entering the city gate, Li Shou asked the guards of the Meng Mansion to escort Baozhu back to the Meng Mansion, and said a few words to Baozhu, and then he returned to the palace under the protection of the guards of the Eastern Palace.

When Emperor Zong learned that Li Shou had left the palace without permission and spent a night outside the palace, even though he found out that Li Shou was not hurt at all, he was still furious.

Later, when he learned that it was all because Meng Renping had disappeared in Qingbei Mountain and was currently recuperating in the Imperial Hospital, Emperor Zong's anger slowly subsided.

"Go and find out who wants to touch the people in the Eastern Palace." Emperor Zong ordered.

Manager Gan accepted the order: "Yes."

Chief Steward Gan left Qianhe Palace and arranged for people to check the imperial order issued by Emperor Zong. Then Emperor Zong summoned Min Fan to his side and ordered, "The Crown Prince is always accompanied by Tongguang Tongchen. You are their leader. Go and ask them. I want to know what happened during the Crown Prince's visit to Qingbei Mountain and his overnight stay at Zhishang Taoist Temple."

"Yes." Min Fan also followed the order and left Qianhe Palace and went to the East Palace.

With Min Fan's arrival, Tong Chen, who was being questioned, told everything he knew.

After Min Fan left, Tong Chen went to Li Shou and reported: "According to your Highness's instructions, I will answer whatever Chief Min asks truthfully."

"Yeah." Li Shou signaled Tong Chen that he could leave.

Tongchen retreated and continued to hide with Tongguang, protecting him in the dark.

He hardly slept last night, but now he had no desire to sleep.

When he quietly left the palace, he never thought about returning quietly.

Since he didn't reply quietly, he expected that his father would send Min Fan to the East Palace to ask him about the Imperial Shadow Guard. He was not surprised at all.

If something happens to Chi Nan, my father should be informed.

The mastermind who wanted to harm Chi Nan couldn't just be him and his eldest cousin investigating. It would be better if his father also investigated and found out personally that the mastermind behind the scenes had connections everywhere.

At that time, your father will no longer be able to disbelieve it, nor will he be able to try to smooth things over again and again.

The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, not to mention that there are princes among them who are not satisfied with the status quo.

He was not greedy. As long as his father could stop deceiving himself and severely discipline one of the princes this time, he would be satisfied.

At noon, Chang Qing ran into the hall, sweating profusely: "Your Highness! Young Master Meng is awake!"

Li Shou stood up suddenly: "Is there anything serious?"

"...poisoned." Chang Qing lowered his head.

"What kind of poison is it? Is there any antidote?" Li Shou asked immediately.

Chang Qing replied in a muffled voice: "Du Yuanshi and Lou Yuanpan are both here, and we can't diagnose what the poison is yet."

Li Shou frowned, walked around the desk, and strode out of the palace gate: "Isn't the judge of Louyuan the best at detoxification? How come you can't diagnose what the poison is! Prepare the horse immediately, I want to go to the Imperial Hospital!"

Chang Zhu was waiting at the palace gate. Hearing this, he responded with a yes, ran down the stairs, and quickly prepared his horse.

Chang Qing did not dare to lag behind even a step, and followed Li Shou out of Chengguang Hall.

Li Shou walked out quickly, thinking of the report from the East Palace guards that Meng Shisan fell asleep and was carried down the mountain by Chang'an, and asked again: "Where is Yaoyao? Is there any news from the Meng Mansion?"
