Chapter 748 No Him

The water snake held the silver fox in one hand and the locust bird in the other, sitting calmly in the outer room.

The silver fox refused to accept the defeat, but no matter how it struggled, it was in vain.

The locust bird, on the other hand, is much more practical. It neither struggles nor fights, but is as obedient as if it were staying on the treetop.

In the inner room, Li Shou sat quietly on the embroidered stool, his eyes fixed on the face of Meng Shisan who was sleeping soundly, and he did not say a word for a long time.

He was afraid of disturbing her good sleep, and even more afraid of disturbing her rest.

Before entering the house, I learned from Chi Nan that she was fine, just too tired and frightened. She needed to get enough sleep and rest her body before she could wake up and recover.

After entering the house, he sat upright and looked at her quietly. The more he looked at her, the more distressed he felt. He thought that she was attacked tonight because of him. He also thought that if she hadn't been so bold and hadn't brought a whip with her, and hadn't had a few whipping skills, and Fu Feng and Chi Nan had arrived in time, and the loyal maid had blocked the knife for her, he might have lost her tonight...

Thinking and looking at her in this way, his previous determination to marry her gradually began to waver.

As a daughter of the Meng family and his eldest cousin, even if she doesn't become the Crown Princess and marry into a wealthy family, with the support of the Eastern Palace and the Meng Mansion, she will surely live a stable and healthy life.

But if he insisted and wanted to marry her into the Eastern Palace, and then he ascended the throne, she would become the mistress of the harem, with endless open and covert attacks, dirty tricks and iniquities. Just like tonight, he would not be able to protect her all the time and keep her safe.

Even though he had expected this, as soon as he learned that she had arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion and left in the dark, he immediately arranged for Fu Feng and Chi Nan to take the East Palace guards out of the palace to rescue her in time.

However, if she had not been strong enough at first and had delayed time to avoid being killed by the killer, even if he found out in time, it would have been too late and distant water could not put out a nearby fire.

"I didn't know..."

"...You have mastered the whip to such an extreme degree. I think you must have put in a lot of hard work."

"I still don't know you well enough."

"Just like... you never took the initiative to understand me."

Li Shou had thought about why Meng Shisan was unwilling to marry him and become his Crown Princess, but he had too many things to do on a daily basis, whether it was the affairs of the Eastern Palace or going to the Wenhua Palace, he was busy every moment.

Every time he met her when he went out of the palace, it was because he went out of the palace specifically to look for her. Otherwise, he would not have met anyone else by chance, but he met her by chance every time.

On the bank of the red lake at the Bixu Manor, he carried her horizontally in front of everyone, but he also had selfish motives.

On the one hand, he didn't want her dress to be wet after being washed, and on the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to tell the world that she was his. However, she was very smart and knew his selfish intentions, but she didn't blame him or show any emotion, so he couldn't be sure whether she was annoyed by his behavior.

She was so calm, how could he know her true feelings?

How can he know how to handle things properly if he can't see her true feelings?
Li Shou sighed softly, not knowing her true feelings and not knowing how to behave properly. He didn't know how to do many things properly so as not to make her angry with him.

Now, he was hoping that she would reveal her true feelings, but he was also afraid that what she revealed was not what he wanted.

Li Shou laughed at himself and stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for Meng Shisan: "Yaoyao, I hope you can be happy, but I am afraid that your happiness..."

Never alone.

The unfinished words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them. He still couldn't accept that he was not part of her future.

When Ji Kuan escorted Li Shou out of Meng's house and quietly returned to the palace, he could feel Li Shou's depression and the faint fire hidden in the depression was about to go out.

He was a good military commander, and it was also true that he was not as delicate as Chi Nan. But as a man, and an unmarried one at that, he had never experienced love, but he could still see the pitiful look of his own prince, who seemed to be abandoned.

Even a rough man like Ji Kuan could taste it. Tong Guang Tong Chen, Bai Zhuo and others also felt it from a distance.

Especially Tongguang Tongchen, who were always protecting Li Shou. Even though they were the Royal Shadow Guards and unmarried widows, they felt more passively because they followed too closely and for too long.

It’s just that they are used to just watching, appreciating and doing, and never speaking. Therefore, they are as quiet as two mutes and never make a sound.

However, Ji Kuan went to the Zhanshi Mansion early the next morning and talked to Meng Renping for a long time.

This made Meng Renping feel for the first time that Ji Kuan had really grown older and smarter, and his words could even speak with some sincerity.

The core of Ji Kuan's rare thoughtfulness was that their prince seemed to have truly realized the problem between him and his eldest cousin.

Meng Renping suddenly wanted to know what happened to Li Shou when he entered Meng Shisan's room alone last night.

Meng Shisan woke up in the afternoon and heard everyone's reactions to her sudden fainting, including Li Shou.

However, Li Shou entered the Meng Mansion quietly and few people knew about it. Shangchun Jinyin and others did not have the courage to make a sound, and they did not dare to approach Meng Shisan's bedroom where Tongguang Tongchen was guarding him from above and below. Even in the dark place where Ji Kuan was hiding, with Meng Renping standing there in person, they could not get close at all.

So, they all had no idea what Li Shou said or did in their young lady's room.

Chang'an could have done it, but at that time Chang'an was completely focused on saving Baozhu's left hand, and had not left the ear room where Baozhu lived. So when Meng Shisan asked her today, she could only shake her head.

Finally, Chang An set his eyes on the silver fox and the locust bird: "Miss, if you really want to know, I think they can answer."

Soon, receiving Meng Shisan's order, Shangchun went personally to call Silver Fox and Sophora japonica into the inner room of the bedroom.

Afterwards, Chang'an and Shangchun both left the bedroom.

After all, this matter concerns Li Shou, and Meng Shisan does not know the inside story yet, so he still wants to leave some wiggle room.

Silver Fox and Sophora Bird were captured by the water snake last night, but they only lost their freedom and could not enter the inner room. Their ears are still very sensitive.

As soon as Chang'an went out of the house and closed the door to enjoy the spring, they slowly told Meng Shisan the story in the inner room.

After Chang'an returned to the Meng Mansion, the first thing he did was to go to the bedroom to rescue Meng Shisan. At that time, Meng Renping and Yu Minglu were pushed out of the door. The story also tells how Chang'an and Shangchun dealt with the two and comforted them.

As for Yu Minglu, Meng Shisan said after hearing this: "He has good medical skills and is a good person, but unfortunately... he is a little stubborn."

Once he had decided on her, even though he had expressed his love to her twice in a tactful way and she had rejected his love twice in a tactful way on the spot, he still had no intention of turning back. Instead, he was as stubborn as if he was going to hit a wall.

As for her eldest cousin, she said, "Brother cares about me, there is no doubt about that, but compared with the honor and disgrace of the Meng family, even though my eldest cousin once said that he has the support of the Meng family, there is no need for me to become a crown princess. However..."
