Chapter 749 The Crux

She changed the subject, her voice low and firm, "One day, when we are at our wit's end, Big Brother will still choose to put the overall situation first."

Finally, regarding Li Shou, the mortal supporter whom she had long identified, she thought about it, thought about it again and again, and finally pursed her lips and said nothing, waving her hand to let them leave.

From the moment she realized his feelings for her, she had been distancing herself from him, intentionally or unintentionally, during the rare times they met. She had even expressed directly or indirectly that she could stay with him, but would rather be an advisor than a crown princess.

He made advances, and she also politely declined.

Even though he did not relent in the process as she had expected, she persisted and firmly told him again and again with her words and deeds that she did not want to marry into the Eastern Palace.

Unexpectedly, all the things she had shown with great effort before were not as effective in making him wake up as the attack she suffered last night.

Meng Shisan adjusted the large pillow he was leaning against and asked Silver Fox, "How is Baozhu? How is Chang'an after he rescued Baozhu and me?"

After fainting last night, she felt nothing and had no idea what had happened during this period.

When Fang Jiang saw Chang'an's extremely pale face, she knew that Chang'an must have used a lot of magical power to save her and Baozhu. If she asked Chang'an, he would definitely just say "it's okay" and then disappear.

She had no choice but to leave Chang'an and enjoy the spring scenery and ask the silver fox and the locust bird, only then could she know the true story.

Silver Fox indeed said in detail: "Baozhu's left hand was saved. Chang'an used all his magical power to reconnect Baozhu's severed tendons and bones, and also repaired the young lady's over-exhausted and exhausted body. The two medical skills and magic were effective, but Chang'an was also exhausted."

"Are you tired?" Meng Shisan frowned slightly.

The locust bird glanced at the silver fox and answered quickly: "The master just fell asleep. He will wake up after he has rested enough. It's nothing serious."

"Nothing is wrong." Meng Shisan was relieved and reminded Huai Niao, "You can speak, but you must pay attention to the occasion. When there are mortals around, you must not speak human language."

The locust bird slightly raised its little head and said, "Don't worry, young lady. The master has warned me long ago, and I remember it."

At this time, Silver Fox snorted in dissatisfaction, and added without looking away: "Xiaoyin also told me about this."

Meng Shisan's gaze moved from the locust bird to the silver fox, and then from the silver fox back to the locust bird. She didn't expect that they could get along so well.

The locust bird was born from the gathering of evil spirits from Chang'an's body. Apart from Chang'an and it, it could not get along with any other demons, ghosts, humans or gods. Now that it can get along with the silver fox, it can be considered a gain from coming to Beijing.

After asking all the questions they wanted to ask, Silver Fox and Sophora Bird went out, and Chang'an came in, along with Shangchun and Jinyin, who brought food and medicine.

It was almost noon when Meng Shisan woke up. She ate a light porridge with candied maltose next to the medicine. After drinking the medicine and eating a piece of maltose, she stopped eating.

After Jinyin finished cleaning up the leftovers, she asked Shangchun to make a pot of tea.

Shangchun thought for a moment and asked, "Miss, can I have tea now?"

"I've eaten porridge and taken medicine, so why can't I drink tea?" Meng Shisan is a demon. After entering the human world, she is a little different from ordinary people. At this moment, she feels that whether she drinks tea or not is not inconsistent with her weak body.

According to Shangchun's experience of serving Old Lady Meng in the past, she was not allowed to drink tea while taking herbal medicine, so she subconsciously felt that she could not obey Meng Shisan, but Meng Shisan was the master, so she had to listen. So when she heard Meng Shisan's question, she looked at the third person who was still in the room.

Chang'an is also a monster, so naturally he doesn't think that you can't drink tea after taking medicine.

However, she did not forget that her master now had a demon soul in human body. The human body was not as strong as the demon body, and he had just used up his demonic energy. The demon soul also passively triggered the blood eyes of the demon body because of anger. The combination of the two caused great damage to the mortal body that trapped the master's demon soul.

She used up half of her magical power to use her medical skills to help her master repair this body. Now her master's complexion looked much better than last night, but she couldn't be careless.

After thinking about it like this, Changan was still unsure, so he was also puzzled: "Can it be possible?"

Meng Shisan immediately looked at Changan: Can I?

Chang An saw the confusion on his master's face and said calmly, "Young lady is still weak, so you need to be careful."

"That's right!" Shangchun nodded solemnly.

Meng Shisan had no choice but to say, "Forget it."

Shangchun couldn't bear that Meng Shisan didn't drink anything, so he suggested, "How about I ask Jinyin to cook some ginseng soup?"

"Okay." Meng Shisan nodded helplessly.

After Shangchun left, Meng Shisan went to the small kitchen to find gold and silver to cook ginseng soup. He immediately asked about Baozhu's condition.

Chang'an knew that Meng Shisan would definitely ask questions after waking up, so she was prepared and answered slowly, "Miss, don't worry, Baozhu's left hand has been saved, but her tendons and bones are injured, so she needs to recover for a hundred days. Baozhu has injured her tendons and bones this time, so she can't move around for at least two hundred days."

"That's no problem." Meng Shisan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Baozhu would become one-armed because of her. In that case, she would blame herself to death. It would be good if she could keep her hand. "Shangchun has already made arrangements. Before Baozhu's left hand is healed, there will be a little maid to look after Baozhu. She will definitely let Baozhu take good care of her left hand."

She asked again: "You only mentioned the situation of my second brother in Lingnan in your letter. Now that you are back, please tell me in detail."

"Okay." Chang'an then recounted in detail the series of events from the time she met Meng Renji in Lingnan to the time she left Lingnan and returned to Beijing.

After listening to this, Meng Shisan began to consider the demands of the leaders of the three tribes of Hua, Sha and Shui.

After receiving Chang'an's letter, she had thought about the feasibility, but there were too many things to do at that time, and this matter was neither urgent nor important, so she put it aside for the time being and decided to make a decision after Chang'an returned to Beijing.

Chang'an has already returned to Beijing at this time, so he must give a reply to the three major families in Lingnan.

Chang'an waited for a while, and seeing Meng Shisan was still thinking, she reminded him, "If they really want to come, Miss, please let them come. After all, the Second Young Master will be in Lingnan for a long time, at least several years. After they come to the capital and meet Miss, they will be able to settle down. After returning to Lingnan, they can work harder to protect the Second Young Master."

In fact, there was no need for Chang'an to remind her. Meng Shisan herself understood this truth. Otherwise, given her unwillingness to invite trouble, she would definitely not agree to consider it.

Because of Meng Renji, she agreed to consider it.

But since she was considering it and would eventually agree to let them come to Beijing to see her, she had to think carefully about everything that might happen during the process.
