The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 595: Can't Support

"Alright, alright!" Ji Kuan couldn't bear to listen any longer. "His Highness just said that Miss Meng is doing fine! Instead of worrying about your elder sister, you should worry about yourself first."

"Is the poison not completely cleared from me?" Meng Renping immediately thought of the inexplicable poison he had been poisoned with, and he didn't even realize when he was murdered.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Gao Yuan and asked, "Which joint did I get poisoned by?"

Gao Yuan knew his son very well, so he lowered his head and answered, "I don't know."

"I'm not talking about your poison. Your poison has been completely cleared. Court Envoy Du and Court Judge Lou have jointly examined you. As long as you take good care of yourself for a period of time, you will be able to politely go and join those pretentious lackeys again." Ji Kuan did not mean this and hurriedly explained.

Meng Renping turned back to look at Ji Kuan: "Then why do you want me to worry about it?"

Li Shou took over the conversation and said, "You were poisoned for no apparent reason this time and nearly lost your life. In order to conceal the truth and prevent the person who harmed you from understanding your condition, I told the truth to Du Yuanshi Lou Yuanpan, and the rest of the people were unaware. In the Meng Mansion, only Yao Yao knew a little, and my grandparents and my uncle and aunt did not know the truth. But I thought that with my grandparents' cleverness and wisdom, it would be difficult to hide it from them."

"So, you are fine now, but before you go back home, you have to think about what you are going to say." This is what Ji Kuan meant.

Meng Renping understood: "Besides grandfather and father, grandmother is not someone who can be fooled. But don't worry, Your Highness. With Yaoyao here, nothing serious will happen."

Li Shou smiled: "You actually believe in Yaoyao."

"Your Highness doesn't believe it?"

"I believe it too."

Ji Kuan looked at Li Shou who also believed in Meng Shisan. As a member of the Eastern Palace, he didn't dare to ask directly, but he had to speak frankly to Meng Renping, his close friend: "If it weren't for Chi Nan, why do you believe that as long as Miss Meng is here, nothing will happen?"

Meng Renping looked at Ji Kuan speechlessly: "Don't you believe your two sisters?"

"Of course I believe it." Ji Kuan blurted out, and he answered without even thinking about it, but this is two different things. "However, this is related to the political situation and the direction of the court. No matter how smart your eldest sister is, can she learn all this without a teacher?"

Meng Renping shook his head: "I didn't say that my eldest sister understands everything, but that doesn't mean that my eldest sister won't understand something that your two younger sisters don't understand."

Ji Kuan wanted to refute again, but Li Shou stopped him: "People are different."

Just one sentence made Ji Kuan come to his senses: "It's indeed different... My two sisters will never become the Crown Princess no matter what."

After hearing this, Li Shou pursed his lips and smiled, while Meng Renping glared at Ji Kuan.

"You don't agree?" Li Shou noticed and asked Meng Renping directly what he thought.

Ji Kuan also followed up with a proud look and asked: "What I said is all true. Of course, Your Highness is also right. People are different."

Anyway, the Ji family had no intention of letting any of their daughters marry into the Eastern Palace, so it didn't matter what he said.

Meng Renping lowered his head and closed his eyes. After a while, he said, "This is related to Yaoyao's life. Yaoyao's husband must be approved by Yaoyao." Li Shou still wanted to know Meng Renping's real thoughts: "Chi Nan, you and I have known each other since childhood. You and Fu Feng have been with me for many years. You have also suffered many disasters because of me, including this poisoning. There is no need to investigate. I also know that it is because I value you. I will tell you the truth today. I really want to marry Yaoyao and make her the Crown Princess of the East Palace. When I ascend the throne in the future, I will be the emperor and Yaoyao will be the queen. So I want to know, as my right-hand man, what do you think about this matter?"

Ji Kuan looked at Li Shou with some shock. He had known for a long time that his prince wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Meng family as the Crown Princess. Not only did he know this, but in fact, almost everyone in the Eastern Palace knew this.

However, he never thought that His Highness would actually admit this himself before the selection of the Crown Princess next year!

Meng Renping was also shocked: "Your Highness really cares about what I think?"

"I do care, but just like you said, Yaoyao's life and her husband will only count if Yaoyao nods." Li Shou said frankly and sincerely, "I care because you are my man and will be an important official in the future new dynasty. I really want to know what you think."

Meng Renping understood what Li Shou meant. He did care, but not much. After all, as he said, the person who could make the final decision was his eldest cousin.

First of all, it is the eldest cousin who has the power to make the decision.

Meng Renping suddenly remembered something: "Your Highness, have you ever heard Yaoyao say that Yaoyao wants to be your advisor?"

“I’ve heard of it.” Li Shou had indeed heard Meng Shisan mention it, but Meng Shisan just mentioned it briefly at the time, so he didn’t really take it seriously. “Yaoyao also told you that Yaoyao is…”

"I don't know." Meng Renping couldn't be sure whether Meng Shisan was just thinking about it on a whim and just talking about it in front of him and Li Shou, or whether he had really decided to do so. But he had a hunch, "Your Highness asked me what I think, but I want to tell you that my opinion is not important."

What’s important is what my cousin thinks.

Ji Kuan agreed: "Yes, the one who married His Highness was Miss Meng, not Chi Nan. Even if Chi Nan had any objections and was reluctant to let his eldest sister marry into the East Palace, it would be irrelevant."

Li Shou turned his head and glared at Ji Kuan: "Why is it unimportant? If Yaoyao has other ideas, if Chi Nan supports me, he can speak well of me in front of Yaoyao, which is very important."

Ji Kuan was stunned: "Your Highness, don't you have too little confidence in yourself?"

"That's the girl you haven't chosen yet." Li Shou really didn't want to talk to Ji Kuan, who was so stupid, anymore. He turned around and asked Meng Renping, "Just tell me, do you support me marrying Yaoyao as the Crown Princess?"

Meng Renping had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course." Li Shou had a bad feeling. "Be careful what you say."

Meng Renping just opened his mouth to tell the truth, then paused, and then closed his mouth again.

Li Shou originally expected Meng Renping, who had stood on his side since childhood, to support him and say more good things about him in front of Meng Shisan. However, he never expected that he kept asking directly, and his good companion and good minister who never lied to him was silent.

In this way, the answer became clear instantly.

His face darkened immediately.

Even Ji Kuan, who usually thought the slowest among the three, reacted after more than ten breaths. He looked at Li Shou and then at Meng Renping, thinking to himself that whether these two could become uncle and son-in-law depended on the eldest lady of the Meng family.
