The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 729 Imminent

"No need." Meng Shisan stood up and walked towards Meng Renping, pulling him back to sit in the chair. "I'm fine. I was just thinking about something. It was unintentional. It's not that I'm ill, nor am I having a sudden heart attack."

"Really?" Meng Renping confirmed again.

Meng Shisan nodded heavily: "Really."

Meng Renping sat back in his chair and returned to the topic: "Imperial Physician Gao had gone to Fangshan earlier to diagnose Magistrate Shi's pulse. The medical records are still there, and Imperial Physician Gao showed them to me. When we left His Highness's private residence, Imperial Physician Gao and I went aside and whispered that the medical records would not change."

"Imperial Physician Gao can't cure County Magistrate Shi." Meng Shisan concluded, "What about the other imperial physicians?"

Meng Renping had thought of this a long time ago: "After returning to Beijing from his trip to Fangshan, Imperial Doctor Gao did not give up, but instead held a private meeting with other imperial doctors regarding the medical record he wrote."

He sighed: "In the end, there was no result."

Regarding the sorcery, Meng Shisan might have a way, but to cure Shi Que, she first had to see Shi Que.

If Chang'an was there, she could let Chang'an go to Li Shou's private residence to check it out first. After finding out the situation, she could make a treatment plan.

She had to think of a way. Fortunately, given Shi Que's current condition, she still had some time, which allowed her to plan carefully.

"Does Your Highness have any arrangements?" Meng Shisan felt that if Li Shou could let Meng Renping go to Fangshan in person and take the trouble to bring Shi Que back to the capital, then Li Shou must have his own plans.

"Yes." Meng Renping said, "Your Highness wants to find a sorcerer."

Meng Shisan exclaimed, "It's not easy to find a warlock."

As far as she knew, there were almost no ordinary sorcerers in the capital city today, let alone the extremely rare and extremely powerful demon exorcists and monster hunters.

"Your Highness has already asked the Imperial Observatory to search in secret." Meng Renping said this without much confidence, which was also the tone Li Shou used when he told him about this arrangement. Both the emperor and his minister were not very optimistic about this search. "In addition, a number of secret agents from the Eastern Palace were also sent out of the capital to search in various provinces, prefectures, and counties."

Meng Shisan hummed and said, "This is the most basic approach."

Meng Renping suddenly lowered his voice by eight octaves: "His Highness said that he could ask you a question."

"Ask me what?" Meng Shisan lowered his voice by an octave.

"Besides this most basic method, do you have any other faster and more effective methods?" Meng Renping repeated Li Shou's meaning. "To be honest, Your Highness said this to me at that time. Let me ask you, I think Your Highness really is... It's more than just a lover's eyes see beauty in everything."

Meng Shisan's voice returned to normal: "That's because Big Brother described me wrongly. Your Highness thinks highly of me because he recognizes my ability, not because of my beauty."

Meng Renping laughed twice: "Yes, yes."

Meng Shisan ignored his eldest cousin's strange tone and said seriously, "I can help find it."

"What are you looking for?" Meng Renping was a little skeptical about what he heard.

"Looking for a sorcerer, a truly useful sorcerer." Meng Shisan replied confidently. Meng Renping was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Before this year, you rarely left the hospital. This year, although you are willing to go out, it's not often, and most of the time it's for formal banquets. You... where do you know how to find a sorcerer?"

"Brother, you forgot that although my mother died early, she left me a lot of dowry. After I took over this year, although I didn't visit all of them, I visited a few of them. Later, I let Shangchun take care of the accounts." Meng Shisan explained carefully, "Shangchun is a good accountant. Those big and small shopkeepers are willing to deal with Shangchun. When dealing with each other, it is inevitable to exchange some interesting and fun things besides business. Isn't this just the trick of being a sorcerer?"

Meng Renping nodded. He understood: "So that's how it is. Otherwise..."

"No." Meng Renping hadn't finished speaking when Meng Shisan interrupted him and said, "I'll go alone. Big brother, you should go and do other things."

He wanted her to let him take care of the spring viewing and let him go to the sorcerer to find out the clue, but that was not possible.

She didn't know whether Shangchun and the big and small shopkeepers had any skills as sorcerers. She brought it up just to cover up her real method.

If it really gets handed over to my eldest cousin, it will be exposed.

Meng Renping was rejected very straightforwardly, but he was not annoyed: "Well, you can help me find it, but if there is a dangerous place, you should let Gao Jin do it. Don't take the risk yourself, understand?"

"I know." Meng Shisan replied with a smile on her face. She would not take risks easily as she valued her life.

After talking about Shi Que's illness, Meng Renping also briefly explained the reasons why Shi Que had fallen into such a situation.

One main reason can be summarized, that is, Shi Que hindered the interests of Fangshan officials and merchants, and was very capable of getting the evidence of their collusion. They used both soft and hard methods to force Shi Que to hand over the evidence, but Shi Que was not afraid. When they failed to succeed, they began to use crooked ways to try to get rid of Shi Que completely.

"How did they know about that evil way?" Meng Shisan asked the question at the right time.

Meng Renping replied: "I have investigated, but I have not found the source. Your Highness wants to continue investigating, but I cannot stay in Fangshan to investigate. First, it is very dangerous, and second, Shi Que's illness cannot be delayed."

So he took Shi Que back to Beijing first.

"That means your Highness's men are still staying in Fangshan to continue investigating the source?" Meng Shisan said.

"Yes." Meng Renping thought of Shi Que's family. "Mrs. Shi didn't go back to Beijing with him, but those who knew about it told her not to communicate with her daughter in the Lu Mansion."

Meng Shisan understood instantly: "Don't worry, big brother, I won't tell anyone."

"I'm not worried that you'll tell anyone. You're very sensible. I'm not worried about that." Meng Renping meant something else. "I mean, didn't you promise Miss Shi by the Canghong Lake that you would help her ask her father for help? If that's the case, you can also reveal some news about Magistrate Shi to prevent Miss Shi from doing something irreversible in her eagerness to save her father."

"Okay." Meng Shisan knew her limits. Even if Meng Renping didn't say much, she would still look at Shi Lianchun.

"There is one more thing. The evidence in County Magistrate Shi's hands... has not been found yet." Meng Renping is most worried about this matter. He is afraid that Li Shou's people have not found the evidence yet, but his political enemies' people have found it first.

"Is County Magistrate Shi not even mentally sound?" Meng Shisan did not expect Shi Que's condition to be so serious.

Meng Renping nodded: "That is why it is urgent to find a sorcerer."

"Then find an opportunity, big brother, take me to His Highness's private residence." Since the arrow was already on the string, Meng Shisan didn't bother to think of a proper and appropriate reason.
