The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 680: Two Opinions

Li Shou shook his head: "No need to go back to the Meng Mansion. Before I went to pick you up, I had Chang Qing arrange for someone to go to the Meng Mansion and report to my grandmother, saying that I would like to invite my eldest cousin to come to the palace and tour my East Palace. My grandmother was very happy and agreed without asking any more questions."

"You didn't ask even one more question?" Meng Shisan didn't believe it. "It's impossible. Even if grandma trusted Your Highness, she wouldn't let Your Highness let me stay overnight in the East Palace."

She thought she knew her cheap grandmother, Mrs. Meng, quite well.

Although my grandmother wanted to marry her into the Eastern Palace, she was also very worried that after she became the Crown Princess, she would follow in the footsteps of Empress Meng of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, she was in a mixed mood of wanting to and not wanting to.

It's very contradictory and confusing.

There was no way she would agree to let her spend one night in the Eastern Palace, something that would be irreversible and would label her as such.

Li Shou smiled slightly: "Do you want to stay in the East Palace overnight?"

"No." Meng Shisan knew that Li Shou was deliberately misinterpreting her words. "Why did Your Highness insist on bringing me into the palace today?"

"I received news that you were going out of town to play, so I followed you here." Li Shou started talking and didn't say anything else, just staring at Meng Shisan.

It seemed as if he was waiting for her to continue.

Meng Shisan really took over the conversation: "Your Highness means that when I arrived at Bixu Manor, Your Highness also arrived shortly after me?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

She continued, "Then your Highness has known everything he should know?"

Li Shou nodded again: "I also know what I shouldn't know."

"There is nothing that Your Highness should not know..." Meng Shisan suddenly thought of the series of confessions she had received today, and her throat suddenly seemed to be blocked by a piece of cotton.

Li Shou looked at Meng Shisan steadily. He knew what she was thinking, so he was silent, knowing what was going on. "Before today, I knew Yaoyao was very popular, but I didn't expect that I underestimated Yaoyao's charm."

"Your Highness, those are all misunderstandings." This was all Meng Shisan could say.

Li Shou said, "Are you talking about Master Zeng? Or Doctor Yu? Or Master Lu?"

Three people appeared at once. If he had not come today and witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he would not have known that he, who was so busy with government affairs, almost lost the designated Crown Princess!
Meng Shisan's face turned serious: "It's all a misunderstanding!"

She had to be considerate of her cousin Zeng, and she didn't want to repay Young Imperial Doctor Yu with evil. Second Young Master Lu was still helping her investigate some things. After all, she planned to get along well with these three as long as they didn't touch on any romantic matters.

Now it seems unlikely.

The sarcastic tone in the words of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was enough to alert her.

If she really didn't want to marry into the Eastern Palace, then given that Li Shou had already become openly jealous, his love for her would probably not end well.

Since there is no way to resolve the issue peacefully, perhaps she should think of another way.

In silence, she looked up at Li Shou and found that he was looking at her seriously. She subconsciously added a layer of certainty: "Really!"

Li Shou didn't disbelieve Meng Shisan's words. After all, when he was watching from the sidelines, he also heard her reject the advances of the three people in public: "Compared to Master Zeng and Doctor Yu, I think Master Lu is more evil-minded. What do you think?"

"Bad intentions?" Meng Shisan didn't understand why Lu Luo had a good impression of her, so why did Li Shou say that it was bad intentions? "Your Highness, Second Young Master Lu won't hurt me, at least not yet."

Even when Quexian Tower was confronting Chen Lou, Lu Luo did not really do anything to her.

Otherwise, with Lu Luo's natural strength as a man, it would be possible for him to fight back against her violently. Regardless of whether he could succeed in hurting her, he did not do such a thing anyway.

Li Shou snorted, "What good intentions can a man named Lu have? Even if he has good intentions so far, he must have other purposes behind it."

"Hasn't Lord Lu been showing the Lu family's intentions openly and covertly?" Speaking of Lu Sen, Meng Shisan had a lot to say, "Lord Lu is different from Queen Lu, and the Second Prince can't rely on Lord Lu. As Lord Lu's younger brother, the two brothers are united, so of course there will be no deviation. Your Highness, what do you think, yes or no?"

"I know exactly what Lu Fu Yin wants." Meng Shisan didn't need to elaborate. Li Shou had been in the imperial politics since he was young. Whether it was to protect himself or to judge people, he knew better than Meng Shisan the reason why Lu Sen frequently showed goodwill to the East Palace. "What he wants is that the century-old foundation of the Lu Mansion remains safe and sound."

Meng Shisan said: "Your Highness is wise."

"If Second Young Master Lu dares to have a crush on you, or does something out of line, then I am not a wise man, it's hard to say." Li Shou did not perfunctorily answer Meng Shisan. Today's trip made him see things clearly, and also made him completely relaxed. "It just so happens that I still had many doubts during my last trip to Qingbei Mountain. After entering my East Palace, you can help me solve my doubts and confusions."

"Except for the trip to Qingbei Mountain..."

"I have already told you that I want to invite you to visit the East Palace. There are some things I want you to see."

Meng Shisan understood that her purpose of going to Bixu Manor today was to see what progress Cui Yu would make. Others who participated in fishing or watching fishing also had their own purposes, more or less. As for Li Shou's purpose, apart from what he told her clearly on the surface, his real purpose was probably some things in the East Palace.

This made her feel a little curious and also a little confused.

He said that he wanted her to help him clear up his doubts and confusions. I'm afraid that after entering the East Palace and seeing some things, she will also need him to help her clear up her doubts and confusions.

In short, she and he had always been in the same boat.

Thinking of this scenic spot, Meng Shisan briefly told Li Shou the identity of the person in the coffin under the grave in the grove behind the Taoist temple.

After hearing this, Li Shou asked in doubt: "Mr. Ma?"

He had never heard of such a figure as Mr. Ma in the capital.

Meng Shisan said, "He is an old gentleman. When Master Cui Qi was investigating the identity of the female corpse in the coffin, he found Old Man Ma, and the direction was correct. After seeing the girl in the painting, Old Man Ma admitted that it was his master."

"According to what you said, the person in the painting lived a hundred years ago. Could it be that Mr. Ma is already over a hundred years old, or even older?" Li Shou used common sense to infer and raised a suspicious point.

Meng Shisan heard this and could not say that Old Ma was a horse demon. He was actually more than a hundred years old. So he thought for a moment and said, "He doesn't look like he is over a hundred years old."

"Oh?" Li Shou questioned, "How old is that?"

"Over 70 years old." Meng Shisan reported the age that Mr. Ma had publicly disclosed. As for Mr. Ma's real age, she was not sure and simply did not say it.
