The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 762: King Meng

He planned to wait and see how the situation developed.

At the same time, Huang Jing, the 19th generation descendant of a demon-slaying family, also entered Manfangjiang in the west of the capital and stayed at the Miguang Inn.

It was the inn where Lan Zhijin was staying.

It was after light turned on that evening that Li Heng learned that all his retainers in his private residence on Houfu Street in Manjiangfang had been killed, while his servants had been knocked unconscious and luckily survived.

When he rushed to the private residence at night, he saw corpses all over the house. Half of them were killed by locust branches piercing the heart, and half were burned to charcoal. His most capable adviser, Mr. Jin, died by having his neck broken by being stepped on. He couldn't help but sway.

Shi Mo promptly supported Li Heng, who was nearly unable to stand due to the shock: "Your Highness!"

Li Heng felt a little dizzy, and his vision was full of bright red. He pointed at the corpse and said in a slightly rough voice: "Investigate, investigate thoroughly, who dared to provoke this prince like this!"

Before Shi Mo could respond, he changed his mind and said, "Check the Crown Prince. I want to see which experts he sent to kill so many people!"

"Maybe... the Imperial Shadow Guards?" Shi Mo guessed. He felt that if it was really the two Imperial Shadow Guards surrounding the Eastern Palace who did it, then even if his own prince found out the truth, he would not be able to impeach the Crown Prince.

Although Tongguang and Tongchen are the Imperial Shadow Guards beside the Crown Prince, they were sent by His Majesty to be by the Crown Prince's side and serve the Crown Prince, and the real master of the Imperial Shadow Guards is His Majesty himself.

It was really the work of the Imperial Shadow Guards, and His Highness had no choice but to accept the defeat.

If the trend seems to be going in the past, His Highness will probably have no choice but to attack the Crown Prince from the side, thus making up for the heavy loss of bloodshed in his private residence today.

When Li Heng heard the words "Imperial Shadow Guard", he paused for a few breaths. He had to admit that what Zhi Mo guessed might really be the truth. He finally decided: "Check it first."

"Yes." Shi Mo accepted the order.

Li Heng brought Shi Mo back to the palace before curfew, and then the Eastern Palace and the princes of other palaces all received the news.

Feng Hui, who was beside Li Cong, was very angry: "Your Highness, His Majesty is biased. Your Highness's leg disease has finally been cured after Dr. Luo came to the capital and confirmed that he can try to treat it. Maybe after the treatment, Your Highness will be able to walk again! His Majesty ignored this important matter, while His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are healthy, but they rely on His Majesty's favoritism to enter and leave the palace freely!"

On normal days, Li Cong would have definitely scolded Feng Hui and told him to shut up.

Even in his own palace, he was always cautious.

However, at this moment, he remained silent and let Ren Fenghui vent his anger for him.

After Feng Hui finished speaking, seeing that Li Cong did not scold him, he seemed to be encouraged and wanted to continue to speak up for his own prince, but Ling Xian pulled his sleeve to stop him from continuing.

He looked at the ridge.

Lingxian shook his head at him.

Feng Hui was getting impatient with Ling Xian's repeated forbearance, so he pulled away Ling Xian's hand that was trying to stop him and was about to speak again, but was interrupted again.

This time it was Li Cong who spoke up: "I will leave the palace early tomorrow morning."

"Your Highness, has your decision been made?" Although Ling Xian did not allow Feng Hui to continue to feel indignant, since Li Cong had really made his decision, he would follow him regardless of life or death.

Feng Hui also said without hesitation: "Your Highness is wise!"

"How can you be wise?" Li Cong asked.

Feng Hui choked, and he just said it casually, flattering as usual, how could he really know how wise he was? Ling Xian, who knew Feng Hui's virtue, smiled secretly.

Li Cong also smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "According to the news I just received, the second prince must have suffered a heavy blow outside the palace. Although I don't know what kind of blow it is, which can make the second prince still so gloomy even after returning to the palace, just knowing this is enough."

Ling Xian guessed: "Your Highness wants to take advantage of ..."

Li Cong nodded slightly: "Father is only a pair of eyes and a pair of hands. There is trouble with my second brother, and there was trouble with my crown prince a long time ago. It's just that he has been suppressed by father and can't move. It doesn't mean that the crown prince really doesn't want to move."

"Your Highness, do you mean that the blow suffered by the Second Prince was most likely caused by His Highness the Crown Prince?" Although Feng Hui was more impulsive than Ling Xian, based on his experience of following Li Cong in and out and wherever he went, he now roughly recalled the hidden meaning of his Highness.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know after we go out of the palace tomorrow." Li Cong was in the deep palace. Although he had people around him, most of them were restricted. There were actually very few people he could truly trust and use.

In other words, there are many spies from other palaces in his palace.

Of course, adhering to the principle of reciprocity, he also placed spies in other palaces, but the gap between the spies was quite large.

For example, even if the spies and eyes that the Second Emperor's brother placed in his palace were right in front of him, he would pretend not to know anything. However, the spies and eyes that he placed in the Second Emperor's brother's palace could not even set foot into the Second Emperor's bedroom.

Meng Shisan didn't know what happened after Li Heng found out that all his followers were killed by her, nor did he know how horrified Li Heng's expression was when he returned to the palace after learning the news, which caused all the spies in the palace to report back, thus casting a large stone in the palaces, causing large ripples.

The first thing she did when she returned to the Meng Mansion was to ask Meng Renping if he could return home, but it turned out that he had not yet returned home.

After that, when Meng Renping returned to the Meng Mansion and learned of Gao Jin's report, he changed out of his official robe after dinner, put on a clean and comfortable casual dress, and walked to the backyard.

As soon as he entered Taichen Courtyard, Meng Shisan received the news. Standing in the corridor outside Mingxiao Hall, in the red light of the lanterns, he greeted Meng Renping with a smile.

Meng Renping had just walked onto the corridor when he saw this scene from neither far nor near. He looked at the faint smile on Meng Shisan's lips and for some reason his heart skipped a beat.

He had a bad feeling.

What big thing has my cousin done again?

"Big brother."

"You are... talking inside."

The cousins ​​entered Mingxiao Hall and sat down. They talked freely without any extra words.

The main reason was that Meng Renping felt that his heart was not strong enough, so it would be better to end the battle quickly and cut the Gordian knot. Otherwise, by the time Meng Shisan had laid the groundwork, his heart would be about to jump out of his throat.

So Meng Shisan did as Meng Renping wished, without saying anything extra, and went straight to telling him that she had killed all the guests in Li Heng's private residence.

"...leaving behind only useless servants?" After a long while, Meng Renfang finally found his voice, even though his voice was still a little distorted due to shock.

Meng Shisan smiled sweetly: "Yeah!"

Meng Renping looked at his eldest cousin's sweet smile and seemed to see the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Ghosts. He opened his mouth, but no words came out, and then he closed his eyes again.

After a while, he opened his eyes and felt half of his body was numb.

...This is not the bandit Meng, this is clearly the King of Hell Meng!
