The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 691: Two Uses of Chess

Li Shou asked again, "Then Chi Nan, who followed you up Qingbei Mountain, was kidnapped halfway up the mountain and later found in a cave on the top of Jiuquan Peak at midnight. Can you tell me in detail how Changan found him? Or should I ask, how did you predict that Changan would be able to find Chi Nan safely?"

"I told your Highness that I had dreamed of the first fragment of the dream, which was the red mole on the marriage line of your Highness' left palm." After Li Shou nodded, Meng Shisanfang continued, "The second fragment was that in the dream, it seemed that my daughter wrote a divorce letter in tears. The third fragment was that I dreamed of going straight up to the tomb mound behind the Taoist temple and couldn't see the tombstone of the tomb owner clearly. The fourth fragment... in the dream, it seemed that my daughter was killed by a knife."

"Killed by a knife?" Li Shou was shocked.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so. It just seems like it was my daughter, not really me." Meng Shisan was sure that although the person in the dream had a similar appearance to her, it was definitely not her. "Based on the female corpse that Your Highness and I saw in the tomb, I feel that the girl I dreamed of is very likely her."

Li Shou slowly recovered from his shock and said, "That's why you must find out the identity of the female corpse in the grave."

"Yes." This was indeed the main reason why Meng Shisan wanted to uncover the identity of the female corpse.

The reason why she did all this was mainly about why she was struck by lightning and became Meng Liangchen in the world, and why she gradually saw clearly the four fragments of the dream after entering the world.

Li Shou pointed out that in the two dream fragments Meng Shisan had dreamed of, there was a suspicious point that the woman seemed to be her but was not her: "In your dream, in those two times, you never really saw the face of that woman?"

Meng Shisan smiled bitterly and said, "I know she is not me, but the feeling in my dream is that she is me. When she wrote the divorce letter, the tears that flowed down her face, I knew it was her crying, but in the dream, I could clearly feel the pain in her heart when she wrote the divorce letter."

She took a breath and said, "Your Highness, she is not me. She is definitely not me. I am sure of this. But I can dream about her, and guided by the fragments of the dream, I found the female corpse in the tomb that had been buried for a hundred years but had not decayed at all. I think there must be a deep connection between them. Otherwise, I would not have dreamed about her."

"Everything in the world has its reasons." Li Shou agreed with Meng Shisan's speculation, "You are right. It is not wrong to investigate the identity of the female corpse. Do you need me to find some good hands for you to use so that you can find out the identity of the female corpse as soon as possible?"

Meng Shisan said, "Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness. I have already drawn the appearance of the female corpse and gave it to Master Cui Qi to check."

"Cui Qillang? Why is he also interested in the female corpse?" Li Shou still didn't know the reason.

"Your Highness should have heard some rumors about the fact that Mr. Cui Qi has not married yet. One of them is not really a rumor." Meng Shisan answered, "Mr. Cui Qi loves a girl, and that girl's appearance is exactly the same as the corpse. Of course, there are some small differences, but they are too subtle to be distinguished by people who are not close to her. The corpse is not the girl that Mr. Cui Qi loves, but because they look the same, I told Mr. Cui Qi that if he can find out the identity of the corpse, then I will be his middleman."

Li Shou understood a little: "The girl Cui Qilang loves is a girl named Meng Shisan, right?"

Meng Shisan was surprised: "Your Highness also knows?"

"I've heard him mention it before." Li Shou said the few pieces of information he knew, "But I only know that Miss Thirteen is from Jinling, and I don't know anything else."

This was all the information Cui Yu knew when he confessed it to him.

"Oh..." Meng Shisan now knew that the relationship between Cui Yu and Li Shou was indeed not that simple. "Your Highness and Mr. Cui Qi have a close relationship in private?"

"Cui Qilang is half a loner." Li Shou had no secrets from Meng Shisan, and he answered almost everything she asked. "...No wonder." Meng Shisan murmured in a low voice.

Li Shou asked, "What's so strange about that?"

Meng Shisan asked directly: "Master Cui Qi led me to intervene in the collapse of the Lantern Mountain. Was there any intention on your part?"

"Well, I thought that even Fu Feng couldn't find Chi Nan in Qingbei Mountain, but Chang'an, who was beside Yaoyao, did it. A mere maid is so amazing, so Yaoyao, as the master, must be even more amazing." After answering, Li Shou praised her, and both the master and the servant were praised. "So when I couldn't do anything, I thought of letting him lead the way and let you practice. Maybe you can give me another surprise."

Meng Shisan sighed, "My elder brother doesn't know about your highness's plan, right?"

Otherwise, the eldest cousin would not have told her again and again not to interfere with the collapse of the lamp mountain.

Li Shou nodded: "In order to hide it from Chi Nan, I also said some worried words. Chi Nan listened to it and immediately gave you Gao Jinba who stayed in the Meng Mansion to guard the courtyard. One is to run errands for you, and the other is to help you deal with some tails. In short, it is also for your safety."

really.

Meng Shisan asked again: "Your Highness said that Master Cui Qi is half of your Highness's man. Does that mean that although Master Cui Qi intends to join the East Palace, he has been dragging his feet and has not made a final decision?"

"Yeah." Li Shou said calmly, "But after the collapse of the lamp mountain, he has made a decision."

Meng Shisan continued, "And he used the discovery of the mastermind behind the collapse of Dengshan Mountain as a token of his loyalty to His Highness, in order to demonstrate his sincerity and become a stepping stone to truly become His Highness's capable assistant?"

"Yaoyao is so smart." Li Shou praised.

Meng Shisan said: "It's not even one tenth as wise as your Highness."

She didn't know that he was quiet and even when they had never met, he had been planning something and had included her in it - using one chess piece to achieve two goals.

Once used, he wanted to completely bring the hesitant Cui Yu under his command to strengthen the financial strength of the Eastern Palace.

Second, he wanted to use the incident of the collapsed lamp mountain to try to find out how much of her abilities she had yet to reveal.

"Are you angry with me?" Li Shou moved half closer, bent down slightly, and approached Meng Shisan with his handsome face, and asked gently.

Meng Shisan was much shorter than Li Shou, her height only reaching his shoulders. When they talked, they had to keep three or five steps between them so that they could look at each other at eye level. Otherwise, she had to raise her head when talking to him until he came one step closer.

He took another step closer, even bending over to get closer. His pair of auspicious phoenix eyes were right in front of her, meeting her eyes.
