Chapter 604 Free Food

Meng Renping, Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu told the truth. It was just as Li Shou said, they could not hide it. Not only were they both shrewd people, but one was his grandfather's father and the other was his father, and they lived in the same house. They could tell at a glance if there was anything wrong with him.

My grandmother and mother didn't know the direction of the court's opinion, so they could still get away with it, but my grandfather and father couldn't.

The Meng family is stationed in the Eastern Palace, and this has never changed and cannot be changed. Honor and disgrace are one, and the pillars of the Meng family must know this.

Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu were not too surprised about Meng Renping's poisoning. After asking for help and finding out that Meng Renping was fine, they did not ask any more questions.

Because he was a companion student in the Eastern Palace, Meng Renping had been bullied since he was a child. It was better when Li Shou and Ji Kuan were around. If the two were not by his side, he, who was the weakest among the three, would have been excluded and bullied.

After all, the family backgrounds of the other companions were also prominent.

No one is afraid of him.

Later, Li Shou did not die young, but grew up gradually. He suffered endless assassination attempts. It was also at that time that Gao Jin, a martial arts expert, came to him and quickly established a private guard to protect him.

Now that he is twenty-one, he has been involved in so many so-called accidents that were actually assassinations that he can't count them with both hands and feet.

Compared with the Eastern Palace where Li Shou was, the dangers he encountered were actually less.

It is conceivable that it was not easy for Li Shou to grow up safely to the age of nineteen.

Over time, Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu's heart beats faster when they learned about the dangers Li Shou and Meng Renping would encounter when they went out. As long as the two were not dead, the father and son would not react too much.

Seeing this, Meng Renping was also very calm.

"Is there any news from His Highness?" As a father after all, Meng Zhidu would not react too much, but his heart was in turmoil at this moment.

Although Meng Tianguan did not speak, his eldest son asked his eldest grandson. He also looked at Meng Renping, quietly waiting for his eldest grandson's answer.

Meng Renping said, "Your Highness asked Fu Feng to investigate personally. Fu Feng must stay with Your Highness at all times, so Fu Feng's capable general Bai Zhuo was sent to investigate. Up to now, no news has been received."

"No news has reached you yet. It is possible that the news is still in the East Palace." Meng Zhidu speculated.

Meng Tianguan agreed: "It doesn't matter. If there is news, even if it doesn't come now, it will be delivered to our house later."

Just as Meng Shisan said to Chang'an, Meng Renping told Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu frankly that after he recovered, he wanted to find out the truth about the poisoning himself.

Meng Tianguan Meng Zhidu did not object to this.

"Didn't I hear that Gao Jin has been waiting for orders from Yaoyao recently? You want to investigate, but do you have any more manpower? If not, grandfather will send you some more manpower." Meng Tianguan immediately wanted to support his eldest grandson. His eldest grandson must not allow anything irreparable to happen.

Meng Zhidu was also worried about his eldest son: "A Ping, I still have a few capable people here..."

"Father." Meng Renping didn't need it, so he interrupted Meng Zhidu's proposal to support him. "Father and grandfather, don't worry. Gao Jinjin is currently working under Yaoyao, but there are still enough manpower. When it really isn't enough, it won't be too late to ask grandfather and father for more manpower." Meng Tianguan nodded, and Meng Zhidu agreed.

Afterwards, the three of them talked for a long time about Meng Shisan's visit to the Zhishang Taoist Temple in Qingbei Mountain to burn incense.

He also told almost everything Meng Renping knew, what he had heard from Meng Shisan himself, as well as some things that Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu had not asked about, but which he felt he needed to inform his grandfather and father first.

It's not that he wanted to hide his true intentions. It's just that when his eldest cousin talked to him, no matter how many times he asked, if she didn't want to say it, it would be useless for him to repeat it.

After hearing this, Meng Tianguan's old face showed a thoughtful look.

Meng Zhidu said dissatisfiedly: "As the eldest brother, can't you take a roundabout way to find out the truth? Yaoyao is young and has not experienced as many storms as you, so why are you so useless!"

Meng Renping had been used to being scolded by Meng Zhidu since he was a child. It was not the first time that he was scolded for being useless. So when he was scolded again, he really didn't care. He said slowly: "Why not? I have tried every possible way, but Yaoyao just won't tell me. What can I do? Why don't you go and ask her in a roundabout way?"

The relationship between Meng Zhidu and Meng Shisan was even less close, not even as close as that between Shang and Meng Shisan. If he went around asking in roundabout ways, he probably wouldn't get a single word even if he went to the ends of the earth.

He felt that his eldest son knew all this, but still deliberately used words to refute him, and he was immediately furious: "You have grown six years older, and these six years have been wasted!"

It’s free food, so Meng Renping sat there motionless.

Meng Tianguan was amused by the scene between the father and son: "Well, Yaoyao is very smart. It's not a big deal if Ping can't get all the answers. Yaoyao's last name is Meng anyway."

"Grandfather is wise." Meng Renping said immediately.

Meng Zhidu glared at Meng Renping: Am I not wise?

Meng Renping put his hands into his sleeves and pretended not to see anything.

The matter of the collapse of the lamp mountain had not yet been reported to the palace. Chang'an, on the orders of Meng Shisan, left the mansion to investigate. He was ordered to keep an eye on the kites of the two Luo Mansions and return to the Meng Mansion before sunset.

Meng Shisan sat at the top of Mingxiao Hall, listening to Feng Zheng telling her the details.

"Luo Gui has found out how to treat the Seventh Prince's leg disease in the divine needle medical book. Luo Siqing followed Luo Gui's instructions and sent a letter to Second Master Xiang. Second Master Xiang personally brought the news to the palace and told the Seventh Prince, but..." Feng Zheng frowned slightly, "After leaving the palace, Second Master Xiang personally went to Luo Mansion to report to Luo Siqing, and since then, there has been no progress of the Seventh Prince going to Luo Gui to treat his leg disease."

Meng Shisan pondered and said, "Seventh Prince has changed his mind? Are you unwilling to treat your leg disease again?"

Feng Zheng shook his head: "Lord Luo Si also asked Second Master Xiang about this. Second Master Xiang said that the Seventh Prince still wants to cure his leg disease, but he can't leave the palace for the time being."

"Can't leave the palace?" Meng Shisan instantly thought of Li Shou's East Palace, and then Li Heng's Hanxi Palace. "It may be related to the disaster in Lueyang last year, and the collapse of the lantern mountain in Bixu Manor this year."

Feng Zheng didn't understand: "Miss, you said earlier that these two things are both related to the Second Prince. How could they hinder the Seventh Prince from curing his leg disease?"

"People's hearts are hard to predict. Since ancient times, people's hearts in the imperial family have been changing rapidly. It's not surprising that His Highness the Seventh Prince can't leave the palace suddenly." Meng Shisan didn't know why, but he felt that it was related to the two events she mentioned. He asked again, "Since His Highness the Seventh Prince can't leave the palace temporarily and can't let Luo Gui treat his leg disease, did Mr. Xiang tell Luo Siqing an approximate time?"
