The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 728 Secret Brought Back

Meng Renping first went to the main courtyard to greet Meng Tianguan and Old Lady Meng, and then followed Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu to the study in the main courtyard.

He came out nearly half an hour later and looked at the time. It was a bit late, but if he didn't talk to his cousin tonight, he was afraid he would not be able to sleep.

So without hesitation, he went to Taichenyuan.

After Meng Shisan asked Shangchun to go into the house and take the silver fox to feed it, he stayed in Mingxiaotang, waiting for Meng Renping's arrival.

"As soon as I entered the city gate, I went to the palace first, met His Highness in the East Palace, and reported everything about the trip to Fangshan to His Highness. Then I left the palace and returned to the mansion." Meng Renping briefly told him about his visit to the elders in the mansion first, "It's already late when I come to you."

"Nothing, I'll wait no matter how late it is." Meng Shisan knew Meng Renping would definitely come, "Brother, is your trip going well?"

Meng Renping did not answer, but looked around for something: "Where is the silver fox?"

"I asked Shangchun to take Xiaoyin to eat meat." Meng Shisan replied.

Meng Renping reached out to Gao Yuan: "Silver note."

"Yes." Gao Yuan immediately took out two silver notes with a face value of one thousand taels from his sleeve pocket. He presented them with both hands and explained, "Sir, they are all here."

Meng Renping nodded, took the banknote and put it on the table in front of Meng Shisan: "Give Xiaoyin some meat."

Meng Shisan smiled and picked up the two thousand taels on the table, handed it to Baozhu, and asked Baozhu to keep it. He said to Meng Renping: "Brother, do you want to thank Xiaoyin?"

"I was very lucky to have Xiaoyin with me on the way to Fangshan. After entering Fangshan, I was even more grateful to Xiaoyin for risking his life to save me many times. Otherwise, even if I could come back alive, I would probably be no different from County Magistrate Shi." Meng Renping's tone was full of relief.

"Brother, are you exaggerating?" Meng Shisan didn't know what had happened, but she knew that her eldest cousin's trip to Fangshan was secretly protected by the East Palace guards assigned by Li Shou. She asked Xiaoyin to go with him just to provide assistance.

Meng Renping shook his head: "This trip is dangerous, and it is beyond my expectation. Although the East Palace guards sent by His Highness are strong, no matter how strong they are, they are not stronger than... evil magic."

"Evil magic?" Meng Shisan had expected this. He was not surprised, but hearing the word "evil magic" from Meng Renping's mouth definitely meant that the person Shi Que had offended was someone whom even the Eastern Palace did not shy away from.

"County Magistrate Shi is already seriously ill. According to what Imperial Physician Gao said before, County Magistrate Shi will not live past the end of the year." After Meng Renping arrived at the Fangshan County Office, he first went to see Shi Que. He was shocked to see Shi Que lying on the bed. His lifeless aura shocked him greatly. "His daughter has been living in the Lu Mansion. Didn't she kneel down in front of you in the street before and beg you to help save her father? Miss Shi must have known that she was at the end of her rope."

"I asked her to ask for help from Protector Guo, but she failed." Meng Shisan told Shi Lianchun the idea she had given him. "Her friendship with Miss Guo Er is far from enough to make Protector Guo look at her in the eye."

Meng Renping could understand: "Guo Duhu has always been a staunch supporter of the emperor, a loyal minister of your majesty, and has served the emperor well. He doesn't need to get himself into trouble for a mere stone case."

"Then His Highness took action..." Meng Shisan was puzzled.

Meng Renping held up two fingers and said, "First, this is what you proposed. Second, there are not many officials like County Magistrate Shi who are loyal, love the people, and are not afraid of life and death."

In other words, Li Shou was cultivating his own indestructible new dynasty team.

Meng Shisan had this thought before, and had thought more than once about how Li Shou would build his own new dynasty in the future. She proposed to him to ask for Shi Jue because she wanted to know where his bottom line was, and also to know if he would be a wise ruler when he ascended the throne. At least so far, his answer to her was that he was.

He has ability, wisdom, strategy and courage.

In order to uncover the truth about the flood in Lueyang last year, he left Beijing alone and went to Lueyang to take out the evidence hidden under the sun and bring back the witnesses trapped in the cracks.

In order to protect his loyal subjects well under his wings, he could kneel in the imperial study for a long time, endure the heavy burden, and not fight for the momentary passion, just for the sake of a bright and clear world in the future, and his sins would be exposed.

He could also spend a lot of time and effort planning for Shi Que, a small official in Fangshan, and assign his trusted and capable ministers to go in person. He wanted to rescue thousands of loyal and upright people like Shi Que, and he also wanted to lay an indestructible foundation for the future new dynasty.

Everything he did was for the country and the people.

Meng Shisan asked, "What is the current situation of County Magistrate Shi?"

"I have secretly brought him back to the capital, and he has been placed in the private residence outside the palace of His Highness." In addition to reporting to the emperor, Meng Renping's main purpose when he first went to the palace was to consult Li Shou on how to place Shi Jue. "I received the order from His Highness to leave the palace and place County Magistrate Shi, and quietly invite Imperial Physician Gao to His Highness's private residence, and then return to the palace."

Meng Shisan said "oh" and tilted his head towards Meng Renping, asking curiously, "Your Highness actually has a private residence outside the palace? Where is it?"

"Your Highnesses all have private residences." Meng Renping smiled and listed all the princes' private residences. He mentioned Li Shou's private residence at the end. "Your Highness's private residence is not far from us. It's just across the street. It's on the left side of the main entrance of our Meng Mansion. It's the one with 'Li Mansion' written on it."

"Li Mansion? Is it so common?" Meng Shisan thought about how she had seen many Li Mansions when she went out. "Is it true that no one would know about your Highness's Li Mansion unless we tell people about it?"

Meng Renping nodded: "Of course. The fewer people know about your highness's private residence, the better."

Meng Shisan thought about the connection and agreed, "Well, it is true that the fewer people know about it, the better."

After all, the safety of the crown prince of Wei is the most important thing.

But when she thought that Li Shou had kept the secret from her until today, and only now learned the truth from her eldest cousin, she felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

She put her hand on her chest, feeling strange about the slight difference.

As a great demon, she had never felt such a strange emotion before.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Meng Renping saw Meng Shisan's movements and immediately thought of what he had learned from his grandfather and father. Because his eldest cousin came back from the house today feeling a little unwell, His Highness sent a large cart of medicinal materials. "If you really feel unwell, don't force yourself. I heard that Doctor Yu came tonight but didn't prescribe any medicine. Why is that?"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to go out.

Meng Shisan called out to him, "Wait a minute, big brother."

Meng Renping turned around, with a determined look on his face: "I will go to the Imperial Hospital now to see if there is any imperial physician still on duty. I will ask him to come over and take your pulse. Especially for heart disease, it must not be underestimated!"
