Chapter 701 Check Together
"That's generally the situation," Chang Qing agreed.

Meng Shisan pressed for details: "In other words, by the time you found His Highness, He had already walked to the well and was about to jump into it?"

Li Shou frowned, slightly opened his thin lips, thought for two breaths, but still did not speak.

Meng Shisan saw it all and thought that Li Shou probably didn't believe that Queen Meng would harm him. This was normal, as it was said that her aunt, the former queen, had given birth to him in exchange for her own life.

Such a grace of life is greater than life and greater than heaven, so how could it lead him to death?

No matter who thinks about it, no matter who puts themselves in their shoes, no one will believe it and will think it is impossible.

Chang Qing and Chang Zhu looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Yes."

"It was indeed extremely thrilling at that time." Meng Shisan said to Li Shou.

"It can't be my mother, it's just an illusion." Li Shou thought just as Meng Shisan thought. He really felt that the Queen Meng he saw in a half-awake state was not his real mother.

Meng Shisan agreed with Li Shou's statement 90%, and the remaining 10% needed to be proven: "If it is really an illusion, then who created it? Your Highness, think carefully, who was most likely to have attacked Your Highness at that time? Who was involved with those evil people?"

The first thing Li Shou thought of was Concubine Shi De: "I... can only think of Shi. Nine years ago, Concubine De was twenty-three years old and was at the peak of her favor. Although I was young at that time, I could often hear Concubine De's maiden name from my father's mouth. At that time, my father would stay in Huachun Palace for half of the ten days except for the first and fifteenth days of the month. He really doted on Concubine De."

"What about the Empress at that time?" Meng Shisan also thought of the only Imperial Concubine that Emperor Zong had ever conferred upon her when she entered the palace last time. "And what about the death of Imperial Concubine Tong?"

"Only Empress Lu at that time could share the same fame as Consort De and receive the same favor from my father." Li Shou answered while recalling, "As for Consort Tong, she was conferred the title of Consort when I was twelve years old. Before she was conferred the title, she had been unknown in the harem and could not even qualify for the position of Consort. When she was conferred the title of Consort, not only the harem, but also the government and the public were shocked. No one knew why my father would suddenly promote her to the position. One year after she was promoted to Consort, when I was thirteen years old, she fell into a well and drowned in the large well in the Chuanxin Hall of the Benren Hall of the Wenhua Hall."

"Drowned in the well... If Chang Qing and Chang Zhu had not discovered and stopped it in time, Your Highness would have suffered the same fate." Meng Shisan concluded without hesitation, scaring Baozhu, who was waiting on the side, so much that she broke into a cold sweat for her.

Ji Kuan also raised his eyebrows, thinking that Meng Renping's eldest cousin was indeed as bold and presumptuous as Chi Nan said.

"That's why I thought of Concubine De first." Li Shou didn't need Meng Shisan to ask him in detail, he then said in detail, "No matter what the reason was for my father to suddenly favor Concubine Tong, it is a fact that he favored her. This is indisputable. After Concubine Tong died, it was said to be an accident, but in fact, everyone can imagine how muddy the water is. My father also knew it very well. He asked the East Factory to investigate at the beginning, but he didn't investigate further for some reason halfway through."

Meng Shisan felt that this was the key point: "What happened next?"

"Later, I secretly asked someone to investigate." At that time, Li Shou was thirteen years old. Although he was favored by the emperor and was trained by the Emperor Zong as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace according to the standards of the future emperor of Wei, he was not strong enough, and the people around him were not strong enough, so the truth that could be investigated was very limited. "Once we investigated Huachun Palace, the clues were cut off."

"Then Your Highness has given up?" Meng Shisan thought that with Li Shou's tenacity, this was unlikely. Li Shou shook his head, "No, I didn't give up. I investigated Huachun Palace and felt that I was not far from the truth. However, when I secretly asked my grandfather for help and wanted to further investigate Concubine De, my father summoned me to the imperial study and ordered me in person not to investigate further."

"It seems that His Majesty knew the truth back then." Meng Shisan had this suspicion before, but now he can make a conclusion, "Since His Majesty has issued an imperial order, Your Highness can no longer investigate."

Li Shou hummed, "Yes, I can't find out. But after the death of Concubine Tong, and even to this day, I am more convinced that the strange incident in the middle of the night when I almost drowned in the well must have something to do with Concubine De."

"Your Highness, do you still want to investigate now?" Meng Shisan asked.

Li Shou naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it: "What's Yaoyao's plan?"

Meng Shisan blinked and said, "As long as His Highness wants to investigate and agrees to let me do it, then I have no choice but to come up with a solution."

After talking for a long time, she still didn't come up with any brilliant idea.

Li Shou smiled and said, "Okay, I agree."

“If we want to investigate the strange things that happened to Your Highness in the middle of the night, we cannot avoid the death of Concubine Tong. We have to investigate both together.” If we want to investigate both together, Meng Shisan feels that he should say hello to Li Shou first.

Li Shou nodded again: "Okay. If you need my help in any way, or if you are still short of manpower, just come and tell me, and I will definitely support you with all my strength."

"Anything is fine?" Meng Shisan asked, his eyes glancing at Li Shou's waist.

Li Shou followed Meng Shisan's line of sight and looked at his wide gold-threaded sapphire belt: "What? You want to take the sachet back? That's not possible. Since you gave it to me, it belongs to me. You can't take it back."

Meng Shisan frowned, "Your Highness, do you think I'm a stingy person? I'm not asking for it back, I just want to ask Your Highness, the jade pendant next to the sachet looks unfamiliar, I've never seen Your Highness wear it before, I wonder where this jade pendant came from? Why is there only half of it?"

Li Shoufang realized that Meng Shisan was looking at him on a whim today, so he took it out and put it on the side of the sachet, along with the green jade pendant hanging around his waist. He was also generous and took off the jade pendant and handed it to Meng Shisan.

Meng Shisan took it and found it was warm and smooth to the touch. It was a top-quality green jade pendant.

"I dreamed of this jade pendant when I was eleven years old. I woke up in the middle of the night and quickly drew it while my memory was still fresh. The next day, I asked Chang Zhu to carve a piece of excellent green jade according to the drawing. Because it is green and the pattern on it is soil, I named it 'Green Soil'." Li Shou described the origin of his jade pendant in detail. Seeing Meng Shisan turning it over and over in his hands and staring at it intently, he asked, "Does Yaoyao like it?"

"I like it." Meng Shisan liked it. "This green soil jade pendant has rich and fertile soil in the strip. Its pocket-sized shape is exactly the same as the strip of vacant land that I reclaimed in the courtyard of my mansion."
