The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 574: Double Arrows

Cui Yu seized the opportunity to ask, "She is the one you dreamed of. How do you know that her grave is in the small locust tree forest behind the Taoist temple on Qingbei Mountain?"

Meng Shisan pointed at the long box on the table and said, "Just like painting her portrait, I also drew the appearance of the tomb in my dream earlier, and then asked someone to go up the mountain to find the specific location, and then I went to see it in person."

There is only one final question left.

This is also the issue that Cui Yu is most concerned about.

He stared at her intently, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"I don't care who the male corpse is. I'm not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business. As for the female corpse, Jinmin looks exactly like Aunt Thirteen. I became interested in her and wanted to find out her identity." Meng Shisan glanced at Cui Yu's hands, whose veins were bulging with nervousness. She sighed to herself that she had committed a sin. Although she had accidentally captured his true heart, she had no intention of asking for his true heart. It was just that the fact had been established, and any more excuses she made would inevitably become an excuse to shirk responsibility.

There was nothing surprising in her answer. It was exactly the same as what Cui Yu had guessed in her mind before answering: "Are you so sure that I will help you check?"

"Helping me is also helping Master Cui Qi himself, so why not?" Meng Shisan rolled his eyes and said slowly, "Besides, don't you want me to sincerely apologize to you?"

Cui Yu pursed her lips again and said, "You mean, in order to get your true forgiveness, I need to find out the identity of the girl in the painting? After finding out, we will be even?"

Meng Shisan nodded: "We're even."

"Okay." Cui Yu had come to this store today to seek peace with Meng Shisan. Now that Meng Shisan had offered him a way out, he would of course take advantage of the situation. He smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. Helping you is also helping myself."

She really had him figured out.

She knew that once she spread out the painting in front of him and showed it to him, he would see that the girl in the painting was not Thirteen, but she looked the same as Thirteen. She would not have to ask him for help. Even if she did not investigate, he would have to start a thorough investigation as soon as he left the store.

"As for the collapse of the lamp mountain, Mr. Cui Qi, do you have anything you want to reveal to me?" Meng Shisan and Cui Yu agreed to thoroughly investigate the identity of the female corpse in the coffin, and she immediately got down to another important matter.

Although Cui Yu's mind was much calmer than when he first saw the painting, only he knew that at this moment more than half of his soul was still in the wooden box on the table.

Hearing her asking him, he stared at the wooden box and said without raising his eyes: "I don't know the specific details. I can only tell you that there is some grudge between the Second Prince and me. This time, such a great misfortune happened to my property on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the first person I thought of was the Second Prince. When I pushed the matter to you at first, and you were willing to take it, I secretly thought that the Second Prince and the Crown Prince were not on good terms. If the casualties caused by the collapse of the lantern mountain can be used this time, plus the other evidence of the Second Prince's crimes in the hands of the Crown Prince, the two major crimes will be established together. I don't believe that if the Crown Prince presents it to the imperial desk, Your Majesty will still turn a blind eye?"

"So from the beginning, your idea was to kill two birds with one stone?" Meng Shisan understood from Cui Yu's long speech that he wanted to use the Eastern Palace to get rid of Li Heng, who ignored the lives of civilians because he wanted to cause trouble for him, and he also wanted to use this incident to help Li Shou completely cut a deep hole in the palm of Emperor Zong's hand.

However, it is easy to think about and plan, but it is hard to say whether you can really achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone when you actually start to act.

Even if the effect is achieved, it is still unknown whether it can be fully achieved or only half achieved.

Since he was able to plan to use her strength and then think so long-term, he must understand what the consequences would be.

Cui Yu nodded: "Yes. But the key to success or failure lies with you, Miss Meng, and also with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At best, I am just a supporting role." "Then Master Cui Qi is also very powerful." Although Meng Shisan volunteered to join the game, who likes to be calculated? Even though she didn't blame him rationally, she still felt angry when facing him. "He used a lever to calculate both me and His Royal Highness."

"I dare not." When Cui Yu heard the word "calculate", he looked at Meng Shisan again, as if he could see smoke coming out of her. "Your Highness, as the crown prince of Wei, has his own ways to change the situation. Miss Meng, as the future crown princess, should follow her husband's lead. Although I pushed the matter to you, do you dare to say that if I hadn't pushed it to you, you would have stayed out of it after knowing how many people died in the collapse of the lamp mountain?"

"Why not?" Meng Shisan asked, "As long as the matter has nothing to do with me and Your Highness, I can sit back and do nothing."

Cui Yu smiled: "But since the matter is related to His Highness, it is also related to you, and you naturally can't just sit back and do nothing."

"Cui Yu."

This was the first time she called him by his full name.

He couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Meng Shisan stood up and solemnly said, "If you need my help in the future, you can tell me. But I am also annoyed by the trap set for me like this incident, even though I knew it was done."

"...Okay." Cui Yu also stood up and bowed very seriously, "It is indeed Zhongnan's fault this time. Zhongnan will apologize to you again."

"Next time..." Meng Shisan was unmoved, "You and I will no longer be friends."

When they walked out of the shop, Baozhu, Jixiang and their four hands were full of things, all of which were various new and fashionable rouge and powder that Cui Yu had asked Hu Qiao to pack in advance.

Cui Yu sat in the small room. In addition to staring at the wooden box, he was also shocked for a long time by Meng Shisan's last words.

Hu Qiao sent the Meng Shisan sisters back to the small room. "Ms. Meng is so bold. Miss Shisan and Seventh Master are the closest friends. She should call Miss Shisan aunt. As for you, Seventh Master, no matter how you try to figure it out, it is absolutely impossible..."

"Why not?" Cui Yuzhihuqiao wanted to say that he and Meng Shisan could not be friends. He had never thought about it before, but when she said it a moment ago, he kept thinking about it until now, "Tongyu and I are friends regardless of age."

"How can they be the same?" Hu Qiao immediately raised an objection, "Seventh Master and Young Master Dong admire each other, and both are talented people!"

Cui Yu looked at Hu Qiao sideways and said, "Are you saying that Miss Meng is incompetent?"

Hu Qiao shuddered inexplicably: "...No!"

Who dares to say!
He definitely didn't mean that!
Cui Yu uttered a low "Oh" and said, "I thought you were very brave."

Hu Qiao's face gradually turned red. He felt that the master was playing tricks on him, but he didn't dare to talk back!
