The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 690 No Secret Talk

It turned out to be the case.

Li Shou nodded. Not only did he learn from Meng Shisan that demon hunter is another term similar to demon hunter, but he also clearly distinguished between demon hunter and demon hunter. "You just said that you suspected that the death of my second aunt was caused by evil spirits. Is there any basis for this?"

"Ms. Wu gave me a golden hairpin made of crabapple leaves that my mother often used when she was alive. There was blood on the hairpin. This is the first reason." Meng Shisan was able to tell Li Shou the strangeness of Zeng's death in person, so he naturally would not hide this. "Second, during the summer vacation in my grandmother's courtyard, her mother gave me a handkerchief that my mother used when she was alive. There was a word 'bend' embroidered on it, and it was also stained with blood."

Li Shou pondered and said, "Do you suspect that the bloodstains on these two items are related to evil spirits?"

He was making inferences based on what Meng Shisan said, and Meng Shisan had too many things on hand, or too many important matters, so there were many things she wanted to check, but they had to be ranked according to first come, first served, and of high importance.

So just as Li Shou said, although she had doubts, so far, she was just a doubt.

Meng Shisan said: "It has not been confirmed yet."

"Not confirmed yet?" Li Shou was puzzled. From what he knew about his eldest cousin, she was a girl who would do her best to the end. Why had this matter not been advanced?

"It's not that I don't want to investigate, but I have a lot of things on my hands and lack manpower. In addition, my mother's death happened a long time ago. Even if there are traces to prove my suspicion, they have been washed away by time." Meng Shisan explained in detail, "So if I want to investigate and have someone to investigate, I can only start with the bloodstained gold hairpin and the bloodstained handkerchief, these two old items."

There were also family members who were attacked while out enjoying the spring. In fact, she had suspected whether there was a connection between them, but this suspicion lacked even more evidence than her speculation that Zeng's death was not caused by illness.

But it was just her guess.

I really can't bring myself to say it.

Hearing about the lack of manpower, Li Shou thought about the people around Meng Shisan, and after thinking about it, he stopped dwelling on this issue: "According to what you said, even if there are doubts about this matter, it will be difficult to find out the truth."

"I am not afraid of difficulties." Meng Shisan said, "Although this matter is serious, it has been a few years, so it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer. Once the current matter is settled, I will personally investigate it and get to the bottom of it."

Revealing the truth to Zeng can be considered as filial piety to the original owner.

"So what are you doing now?" Li Shou asked.

Meng Shisan raised his tender fingers and answered, "First, the collapse of the lamp mountain. Second, the flood in Lueyang. Third, finding out the identity of the owner of the tombstone and grave mound I dreamed of. These three things are important and must have a result. Apart from these three things, there are some minor things, so I will not bother with Your Highness."

When Li Shou heard that Meng Shisan didn't talk to him about other trivial matters, he couldn't help but laugh: "You are really busier than me."

"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Shisan replied proudly, "My life is indeed very fulfilling." "The collapse of Dengshan Mountain and the flood in Lueyang are both closely related to my second brother." When the Lueyang flood case was mentioned again, Li Shou's brows were tightly knitted, as if he was in endless depression. "Father is determined to protect him. Even if I die kneeling in the imperial study, I can't change Father's mind."

"If the fire is not strong enough, then add more fire, so that the fire will burn strong enough, strong enough for everyone to feel the flames." Meng Shisan looked directly at Li Shou, "Your Highness, don't worry about this. Your Majesty is a father, and human hearts are made of flesh, so it's inevitable that you can't be ruthless."

"Do you want to use the collapse of Dengshan Mountain together with the Lueyang flood case to put pressure on your father?" Li Shou also had this plan, and the collapse of Dengshan Mountain was indeed an opportunity.

But he didn't expect that she thought the same as he did.

"Even if it's just an extra, it has to be significant enough." Meng Shisan said seriously, "The collapse of the Lantern Mountain also killed many innocent people, whether they were crushed by the Lantern Mountain or the many lives of Lueyang people who were killed by the flood in Lueyang last year. They are all telling Your Majesty with their lives - Your Majesty, you should put the people first!"

"Father knows that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it, but..." Li Shou hesitated. He was still not completely sure. "Yaoyao, he is my father. He has been training me as the crown prince of Wei since I was young. He has been with me day and night for more than ten years. No one knows him better than me."

Meng Shisan said: "Your Highness, what you want to say is that His Majesty understands this truth and cares about the survival of the people of Wei. However, once there is a choice, as long as the other party is the one His Majesty cares more about, then the common people will be sacrificed without hesitation?"

"Father treats my second brother very well." Li Shou smiled bitterly, "I can tell you for sure that if I were not here, or if I could not live to see the day of my ascension, then Father would definitely choose my second brother to ascend the throne. This result will not change."

"Your Highness is so sure, so he must not be wrong." Meng Shisan followed Li Shou's train of thought and then asked, "Then Your Highness told Yaoyao, what do you plan to do about the flood in Lueyang? And as for County Magistrate Zhu and his family, Your Highness first allowed him to follow Your Highness from Lueyang to the capital quietly, and then personally asked Your Majesty for the grace to stay in the capital temporarily, so how will Your Highness arrange for County Magistrate Zhu and his family next?"

"I have brought up the case of the flood in Lueyang again and have personally visited Lueyang to obtain evidence. So no matter whether the emperor recognizes it or not, I will not give up." Li Shou went on to tell his plan, "As for the collapse of the lamp mountain, I think the same as you. I also think that we can make a big fuss about it and then expose the second emperor behind it. As you said, if it doesn't work once, then try it twice. Once the chips are stacked up, I don't believe that the emperor can still suppress it."

Meng Shisan smiled: "Your Highness is wise."

"Yaoyao, there are only you and me in front of the inner wall of this hall. How about we be frank and not beat around the bush?" Li Shou narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, forming a rippling wavy curve.

Being good-looking is also very tempting.

Meng Shisan muttered silently in his heart, and then he also smiled like Li Shou, narrowing his eyes into a slit: "Your Highness, if you want to ask Yaoyao anything, just ask directly."

Li Shou said, "Let's put aside the three things you just listed."

"Okay." Meng Shisan agreed.

"Let me tell you first. Some time ago you went up Qingbei Mountain, saying that you were going to burn incense, but actually you wanted to go straight to the tomb mound behind the Taoist temple, right?" Li Shou asked.

Meng Shisan nodded.
