The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 596: Calculating the Pros and Cons

As soon as Lou Yuanpan returned to the Lou Mansion, he summoned his followers and asked them three times. After three times, they were still confused.

The followers were confused, and he was also confused.

Du Yuanshi said that when he was recounting the process of detoxifying Meng Renping, he always felt that it was discontinuous and almost impossible to connect the parts. When he came back and sat down, he thought about it carefully again and again, and he really had this feeling.

He originally wanted to ask his followers and try to figure out some clues, but he didn't expect that his followers shared the same inexplicable feeling that they were disconnected.

The master and the servant both sighed.

"It seems like I have had a long sleep. When I woke up, I not only solved the problem of Lord Court Envoy, but also became a meritorious official of the Eastern Palace..." Lou Yuanpan did not miss the Meng Mansion. Thinking of Meng Tianguan, he became even more proud. "From now on, when Lord Tianguan sees me... Hahaha! It must be different now!"

Lou Yuanpan was in a good mood in the mansion, but after Meng Renping left the East Palace and returned to the Meng Mansion, Li Shou's handsome face was so dark that it didn't even get dark.

Chang Qing and Chang Zhu served in fear and trepidation.

Ji Kuan was ordered to personally escort Meng Renping back home. On the way, he gave Meng Renping a thumbs up: "Great! You and Miss Meng are indeed cousins!"

One by one!
The same cannot be said for him and his two younger sisters.

Meng Renping was not as optimistic as Ji Kuan: "Is my poisoning related to the Second Prince? If so, he was targeting me while also targeting Yaoyao... Yaoyao is stubborn and is still investigating the collapse of Dengshan. I am worried that it was only me who was poisoned this time. It's not that he didn't target Yaoyao, but that he didn't find a chance to poison Yaoyao. Once he has the chance, he will definitely kill Yaoyao."

"Your Highness has already thought about all of what you said, and has considered it before you woke up." Ji Kuan and Meng Renping sat in the same carriage to protect Meng Renping's safety. Bai Zhuo was driving the carriage. "But Your Highness has a lot of affairs to deal with. The government affairs that His Majesty has entrusted to Your Highness are piled up like a mountain. It is impossible to say that Your Highness does not care about Miss Meng. There will always be arrangements, but..."

"It is better to rely on yourself than on others." Meng Renping continued.

Ji Kuan did mean this, but he felt a little betrayal when he said this to the crown prince of the two men: "I will say this to you once, and you have heard it, but you are not allowed to mention it again."

Especially in front of His Highness.

Meng Renping glanced at Ji Kuan who said something extra: "I'm not stupid."

Ji Kuan snorted, "You still say you're not stupid? Just now in the East Palace, in front of His Highness, I just said something to go with the flow, and it wasn't my true words. You just said it to please His Highness. In the end, you didn't say anything, and His Highness's face suddenly turned dark!"

"I will not deceive Your Highness." Meng Renping insisted.

Ji Kuan was unhappy: "Did I ask you to deceive His Highness? We are His Highness's people, and we are the people of the Eastern Palace. Who in the court and the public does not think so? Miss Meng has won His Highness's favor. Not to mention the capital, even the prefectures, states and counties outside the capital probably know about this! In this situation, if you don't support His Highness, who will you support? If His Highness really wants to marry your eldest sister, even if you don't support her and your eldest sister doesn't nod, can your Meng family still resist the order? Just say a word and nod, and His Highness will be happy, and it will be good for everyone. Isn't this the best of both worlds? But you are as stubborn as a donkey, sticking your neck out and not supporting her, and you have to annoy His Highness. I think that in the days to come, thanks to you, everyone in the Eastern Palace will have a hard time!"

After listening to Ji Kuan's long speech, Meng Renping said, "Not bad, your brain has become so useful." "If it doesn't work any better, I'm afraid that next time, no matter you, me, or Your Highness, we won't be as lucky as you this time." Although Ji Kuan is a warrior, he also has his worries. He muttered, "My two sisters in the mansion have to be married off as soon as possible."

Meng Renping heard this and said, "Are you too pessimistic?"

"Is that what I want to be pessimistic about? Look, your highness risked his life to fight back from Lueyang. There is obvious evidence, but Your Majesty turned a blind eye and was so biased. It's difficult to bring your highness down." Ji Kuan said pragmatically.

Meng Renping agreed with what Ji Kuan said, but he had a different opinion at the moment: "As long as the matter of Dengshan is investigated, I think this situation that is not favorable to Your Highness will change. By then, the former Lueyang County Magistrate will be able to stand in the East Palace openly."

Ji Kuan had heard so much about the Dengshan collapse incident that his ears were callused, but he was still confused about the specific circumstances. When Meng Renping took the initiative to mention it, he asked in more depth.

Unexpectedly, Meng Renping turned a deaf ear and closed his eyes to rest. He was so angry that he really wanted to throw Meng Renping off the car on the spot!

After sending Meng Renping safely back to the Meng Mansion, Ji Kuan did not stay long and turned around and went back to the East Palace.

Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu were still working in the yamen and were not at home. When Old Lady Meng and Shang heard that Meng Renping had returned home, they immediately arrived at Jianfengyuan.

Old Madam Meng looked Meng Renping up and down and said, "Except for his pale complexion, there is nothing serious wrong with him."

Shang also looked around at Meng Renping: "Yes... yes."

Meng Renping looked at the serious-looking old lady Meng, then looked at Shang who was already wiping away tears, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry to have made grandma and mother worry."

Old Mrs. Meng knew it very well, but due to Meng Shisan's frail body, she had not been able to ask her eldest granddaughter in detail. Now that her eldest grandson had returned home, she wanted to ask her eldest grandson in person.

However, seeing that Shang was also there, wiping away tears, she thought again and again and had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Finally, she let her eldest grandson have a good rest and then took Shang away.

Before leaving, she whispered to Meng Renping: "No matter what you and Yaoyao are doing, you must take care of yourselves. No matter what, you must save your life first before you can worry about the future."

Meng Renping's heart sank: "Don't worry, grandma, I know what's going on."

Meng Shisan entered Jianfengyuan only after Old Lady Meng and Shang left.

Meng Renping knew that Meng Shisan would come when he heard the noise, so after his grandmother and mother left, he did not rush back to the bedroom to rest. Instead, he sat in Miaomiao Hall, sipping Biluochun tea and waiting for Meng Shisan's arrival.

So, Meng Shisan entered Jianfeng Courtyard without any obstruction. When she sat down at Miaomiao Hall, she asked directly, "Brother, the poison has been cured. Do you know which stone steps on Qingbei Mountain the poison was found on? Or was it found before going up Qingbei Mountain?"

"You know I have been detoxified without even asking?" Meng Renping did not rush to answer. He looked at Meng Shisan steadily.
