The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 684: I Don’t Know

Whether the means were sophisticated or dirty was not within her consideration.

But this is what Shi Lianchun is worried about.

She couldn't possibly offend Meng Shisan before her father was rescued, but Lu Pingting was forcing her right in front of her. She didn't want to agree but couldn't refuse.

She was afraid that if she refused, Lu Pingting would prevent her from even leaving the house.

But she had to go out. She had not yet had the follow-up talk she had agreed to with Meng Shisan. After Meng Shisan left the palace, she would leave Lu Mansion and go to Meng Mansion to hear Meng Shisan's method of rescuing her father.

Then, there is only one way left.

Lu Pingting didn't know what Shi Lianchun was thinking. After getting Shi Lianchun's nod, she returned to her courtyard very satisfied.

Shi Lianchun was helped up by Guicao, who brushed the dust off her knees. After they were cleaned, the master and servant returned to their own remote courtyard.

"Miss..." Guicao listened from beginning to end, and now she was a little worried.

Shi Lianchun didn't want to say anything more: "Stop talking."

Li Cong was not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will due to Emperor Zong's ban, but Li Shou, as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, had the emperor's token personally granted by Emperor Zong, which allowed him to enter and leave the palace at will.

The royal carriage carrying Li Shou and Meng Shisan entered the palace gate, and then the gate was closed. Li Cong stood far away and watched, and he did not take his eyes off until the gate was locked.

Feng Hui felt sorry for Li Cong: "Your Highness, how about we go find the Crown Prince later?"

"The prince is very busy right now, busy meeting a beautiful lady. If I disturb him now, I will end up making things worse." If Li Cong wanted to find Li Shou to get the token, he would have gone there long ago. Why did he have to wait until today? "Did Mr. Luo say how long he would stay in the capital?"

Feng replied, "Lingxian went to see Mr. Luo today and came back saying that Mr. Luo will stay in the capital for a while, but he didn't say when exactly."

Li Cong nodded and turned back to his own Yandan Palace.

There is still time, so he can wait a little longer until his father lifts the ban. If he cannot wait, he will go to the East Palace and beg his third brother, the Crown Prince, to give him the Emperor's token.

Li Cong was anxious in the palace, and Xiang Zhao outside the palace was equally anxious.

After years of hard searching and persuading Li Cong, finally today, Li Cong agreed to treat his legs. The descendant of the world-famous Luoshui Divine Needle also miraculously came to the capital and is now in the Luo Mansion next to Luo Youjiang. No one can understand his inner excitement and joy.

However, extreme joy brings sorrow.

Just at this time, Emperor Zong issued a ban on entering and leaving the palace at will. Li Cong was trapped in the palace and could not get out. Fortunately, Mr. Luo Gui would stay in the capital for some time.

This was the best news he had heard so far in his anxiety.

Since Lingxian entered Luo Mansion and asked Luo Gui to promise that he would not leave the capital for the time being, and then returned to the palace to report to Li Cong, Xiang Zhao stayed in Luo Mansion where Luo Gui was and refused to leave.

Luo Gui comforted him, "Master Xiang, you can rest assured. What I said to His Highness the Seventh Prince's guards today is true. You don't have to stay here, you can go and take care of your own business." Xiang Zhao shook his head, "I'm not questioning what the old gentleman said, but I feel more at ease sitting here. I really don't want to go anywhere else."

He turned around and told Shengjing, "Go to Baolai Tower and buy a table of food. The wine should be the best Yuye Niang... three jars."

"Yes." Shengjing took the order and walked out of the main hall. He left the house and rode his horse straight to Baolai Tower on Shengzhou Street in Manjiangfang.

After seeing and hearing this, Luo Gui said no more. He didn't need to leave the house today. It would be quite lively to have someone to accompany him in the house to eat and drink.

Zhu Xiye personally took Zhu Shu back to the Zhu Mansion, and then went out to inquire about the news. He learned that Li Shou personally brought Meng Shisan back to the palace. He quickly returned to the Zhu Mansion and stayed there obediently.

After Zhu Shu woke up, he slowly asked her about everything that happened in Bixu Manor today, including why she fell into the water.

"You mean, it was a few ladies you didn't know who pushed you, and you haven't seen who they were yet?" After hearing this, Zhu Xiye felt a chill in his heart.

Zhu Shu said, "Father, I didn't even know they were ladies from the mansion. They suddenly came over to talk to me, and I thought they were all girls from the capital, so it was okay to just talk. Who knew that one of them would suddenly trip me and push me."

As the official of Lueyang, Zhu Xiye immediately found out the key point: "First you tripped, then you were pushed. In other words, it is possible that more than one person caused you to fall into the water..."

"Yes!" Zhu Shu nodded heavily, "Can father find out their identities?"

Zhu Xiye nodded, but then did not say too much, and said carefully: "Your father can ask Mr. Cui Qi to ask the steward Yan in detail, which mansion the noble ladies around you were from, but this way, the scope is too wide. Even if we can find them and find out whose daughters they are, whether they admit to causing you to fall into the water is another serious problem."

Zhu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then angrily said, "If they don't admit that my daughter was almost drowned, can we just let it go like this?"

Zhu Xiye turned to Douzi and said, "After the young lady fell into the water, you said that the first person to jump into the water to save her was Miss Meng?"

"Yes!" Bean replied.

Zhu Shu asked in confusion, "Ms. Meng is my daughter's savior. If she treats me better, she must bring a valuable gift to thank me. My father mentioned Miss Meng now. What does this have to do with them?"

Zhu Xiye did not answer Zhu Shu's question, but continued to ask Douzi: "After Miss Meng went into the water to save people, did you see the girls who greeted and talked to Miss Meng?"

Douzi thought about it carefully and said, "I have never seen it. After Miss Meng went into the water to save the young lady, Steward Yan also asked the maids in the manor to go into the water to save the young lady. I was very nervous at the time and did not pay much attention. However, the young ladies who followed Miss Meng to the lakeside where the young lady fell into the water, in addition to Princess Yan Hua, there were Miss Jiang, Miss Ji, and Miss Ji II."

"The princess is here too?" Zhu Xiye had not expected this. "Miss Meng was watching fishing with the princess?"

Zhu Shu could answer: "Yes, I saw it a long time ago, but I don't know Miss Meng, the princess, or the two young ladies from the Ji Mansion. Except for Miss Jiang, I helped her on the street."

Afterwards, she recounted what happened that day when she passed by on the street and saw and helped Jiang Ziyao.

After hearing this, Zhu Xiye said, "Is this Miss Jiang the first one who ran to the lakeside where you fell into the water?"

Zhu Shu had already fallen into the water at that time and didn't know it.

The father and daughter looked at Douzi together.
