The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 610: Envy

Meng Meijing showed an ambiguous expression: "Sister, do you care about Doctor Yu... just like Doctor Yu cares about you?"

"Nonsense." Meng Shisan gave Meng Meijing a sidelong glance. Although his glance was soft, it was powerful enough.

Meng Meijing immediately didn't dare to talk about Meng Shisan and Yu Minglu together, but she hadn't given up in her heart. She planned to follow Tongyu to the Imperial Hospital. If she could get a chance to ask, she would definitely find out what the young imperial physician Yu felt about her elder sister.

Meng Shisan didn't know what Meng Meijing was thinking, and she didn't have the energy to guess what she was thinking at the moment. After Meng Meijing followed Shangchun out of Mingxiao Hall, she couldn't sit down in the hall.

"What are you worried about, young lady?" Baozhu asked, and then she thought to herself that her young lady seemed to have a lot of things to worry about.

Meng Shisan walked around the chair for a few steps before he said, "Too many things, so complicated and chaotic, without any order... mortals are trouble."

She almost whispered the last sentence.

Baozhu didn't hear clearly: "What trouble do you mean, young lady?"

Meng Shisan shook his head, took two more steps, and walked around to the front of the abbot: "You go to Quexian Tower now and look for Master Cui Qi. If he is not here, you can also look for Shopkeeper Jin and ask him about the collapse of the lamp mountain. Is there anything missing from the information about the people that was given to me last time, or is there anything special?"

"Omitted? Especially?" Baozhu didn't understand, she could only do as she was told, "I'll go now."

In Quexian Tower, Cui Yu was not in the attic in the backyard, and Jin Baixi was not in the backyard either. When Baozhu arrived, he was in the kitchen giving orders left and right, making the chef dizzy.

The chef was so grateful that Baozhu came to see Jin Baixi at this time.

Jin Baixi took Baozhu to the small courtyard room at the back. After listening to Baozhu's purpose, he pondered for a while and said, "Miss Baozhu, please wait a moment."

"Okay." Baozhu nodded.

Jin Baixi turned and walked out of the room, and when he came back, he had a dozen pieces of paper in his hand.

Baozhu took it and looked at it: "Confession?"

"That's right." Jin Baixi had already received Cui Yu's instructions, saying that if Meng Shisan sent someone to ask any more questions about the collapse of the lamp mountain, he would let him hand over the two confessions, "Please give them to Miss Meng."

Baozhu returned to the Meng Mansion and handed the two confessions to Meng Shisan. After reading them, Meng Shisan indeed found a breakthrough.

Meng Shisan handed the confession back to Baozhu: "Keep it. Has Chang'an come back yet?"

The matter she asked Chang'an to investigate thoroughly might not yield the final result so quickly, but if Chang'an came back in the meantime, she would have other things to explain.

"No." Baozhu answered without thinking, "If Chang'an had come back, Aunt Shangchun would definitely tell her."

Meng Shisan nodded, his eyes moved to the dozen or so pieces of paper in Baozhu's hand, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then we won't have to wait for Chang'an. You go find Gao Jin, give him the two confessions, and ask him to find these two people. No matter where they are, or whether they are alive or dead, I want their exact location and their current situation. If they are still alive and in danger, ask Gao Jin to arrange for them to be protected for me, or they will be silenced before the collapse of Dengshan is resolved."

"Yes." Baozhu responded with a slight hesitation. She felt that she was becoming less and less able to understand what the young lady was saying. In such a long passage, she only understood the final meaning of silencing her.

Gao Jin was in Jianfeng Courtyard in the front yard. He had just returned when he heard Baozhu coming into the yard to look for him.

He was slightly startled and hurried out to meet him.

After listening to Baozhu convey what Meng Shisan wanted him to do, he silently took the two confessions, lowered his head and flipped through the ten or so sheets of paper. He couldn't help but gasp. Gao Jin asked, "Can I tell you about this?"

Baozhu thought for a moment and said, "The young lady didn't say that we can't tell the eldest master."

"That's fine." Gao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "Anything else?"

Baozhu answered no, and he took the two confessions and walked towards Meng Renping's dormitory.

After returning to the backyard and entering Mingxiao Hall of Taichen Courtyard, Baozhu saw Meng Shisan and immediately reported Gao Jin's reaction to him.

Meng Shisan said, "He's right. Since I didn't say it's not possible, then it should be possible."

"He seems to understand the young lady more and more." Baozhu thought to herself that Gao Jin's hard work for the young lady these days was not in vain.

Meng Renping was still recovering, and Li Shou asked him to stay in the mansion to recuperate and not return to the Zhanshi Mansion and the Eastern Palace for the time being. It turned out that Meng Renping had caught a cold and fell ill.

Li Shou personally gave An the reason for sick leave. Huo Zhanshi, who was unaware that Meng Renping had been poisoned and nearly lost his life, naturally dared not disapprove.

The chief official of the Zhanshi Palace had agreed, so even if the other officials were confused about the situation, some of them did not dare to complain to his face, and at most they might grumble a few words of dissatisfaction behind his back, even if they did not know that it was Li Shou who personally requested sick leave for Meng Renping.

After all, ever since Li Shou brought Zhu Xiye to the capital and brought last year's flood disaster in Lueyang to the imperial court, but the Pope turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to it, every official in the Zhanshi Mansion has either been reporting to work in fear or secretly seeking other ways out.

Under such circumstances, people's hearts were divided, manpower was insufficient, official duties were numerous and trivial, and all officials were too busy to keep up. At this time, Meng Renping fell ill.

Although falling ill was not Meng Renping's wish, it did not prevent them from complaining about it in private.

Huo Zhanshi even went to see Ji Kuan for this purpose, and learned from Ji Kuan that Meng Renping was not seriously injured, but just needed some time to recuperate.

After getting such an answer, he went to find Shao Zhanshi Qu worriedly and discussed with Shao Zhanshi Qu in the office for almost two hours.

When I stepped out of the office again, the sun was already setting in the west.

Looking at the setting sun, the two top officials of the Zhanshi Mansion sighed in unison.

"Your Highness may be acting too hastily." Junior Secretary Qu felt that Meng Renping's illness was not simple.

Huo Zhanshi also felt the same way: "If we don't hurry up, more people will die."

How could Junior Secretary Qu not know: "This needs to be seen and heard by His Majesty, so that he can understand it."

"It's not difficult to see and hear, but to understand... it's difficult." When Huo Zhanshi was defeated and fled from the imperial study, he was so worried that he tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep for several nights in a row.

District Master Zhanshi smiled bitterly: "It is difficult, isn't it?"

"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is quite uneasy." Huo Zhanshi said with hint of meaning.

As soon as the Junior Secretary Qu heard this, he understood: "Master Cui Qi has been rooted in the capital for more than ten years. He has countless businesses, both large and small, both on the surface and in secret, which are so numerous that it makes people jealous."

Huo Zhanshi stroked his beard and said, "We can't let the Second Prince succeed."
