The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 764 It’s Time

As expected, Meng Renping stayed overnight in the East Palace again.

When Gao Yuan returned home and reported this to Shang, Shang nodded and said, "I know, I know everything."

Gao Yuan asked again how they knew everything. Shang did not hide anything and told Gao Yuan what Meng Shisan had said.

Gao Yuan returned to the East Palace and reported everything to Meng Renping word for word.

Meng Renping smiled bitterly and said, "My elder sister is really..."

Too smart, he anticipated everything.

By that time, everyone had settled down and Ji Kuan was not on duty as he was out on business and was not in the palace. When Meng Renping arrived, Li Shou learned that Meng Renping came with urgent matters and took him into the bedroom.

Whenever he stayed in the East Palace, Meng Renping would stay in the side hall of Chongyu Palace, which was also the palace where Ji Kuan rested when he was on duty.

In the bedroom, just like when the two of them were his study companions when he was a child, the three of them got along much more easily and casually than they did elsewhere.

As it involves the issue of Meng Shisan and the struggle for imperial power and political direction, he still hopes that Chi Nan can tell him what's really on his mind. As her eldest cousin, Chi Nan's words still carry a lot of weight.

He wanted to marry her, and when he told her the truth, she either tactfully expressed her unwillingness to marry into the Eastern Palace or kept avoiding the question. He could roughly understand what she meant, but he was unwilling to accept it.

He didn't want to give up, didn't want to give up, and couldn't give up.

After he realized that he didn't really understand her, after careful consideration, even after weighing the pros and cons rationally, he still couldn't convince himself to give up.

Since he couldn't give up on her and she wasn't willing to go to him, he could only go to her, try to get closer to her, and truly understand her.

However, Fang told him what Chi Nan had told him about the massacre that took place in his second brother's private residence today. If she hadn't told Chi Nan herself and Chi Nan had told him about it, he wouldn't have dared to believe that she could do such a cruel thing.

The frail appearance of Meng Shisan appeared in his mind, and Li Shou could not hide the shock in his eyes: "Yaoyao... I really am..."

Meng Renping listened to Li Shou's intermittent words, and he understood his Highness's feelings very well: "Your Highness, the most important thing now is how to deal with this matter."

As far as he knew, after Li Heng returned to the palace, his face was as gloomy as a dark cloud covering the city. It seemed that his eldest cousin had attacked all the guests in his private residence, and had become the target that Li Heng wanted to kill the most so far.

The eldest cousin became the first target, and as the eldest cousin, he was very worried about his sister's safety.

Li Shou knew rationally that the most important thing at the moment was to clip Li Heng's wings and protect Meng Shisan. However, at this moment, he was in a state of sober despair.

He could also think of what Chi Nan was thinking, but the surging emotions temporarily took over. Even though he had thought about it clearly enough before, his heart was still in a mess at this moment.

He slowly closed his eyes.

At the age of nineteen, this was the first time he had fallen in love with a girl and had the idea of ​​marrying her. He had no experience in romance, so he could only treat her well based on instinct. So when he realized that the kindness he showed her was not what she wanted...

He had to admit, he panicked.

He was so panicked that he lost his usual wisdom and decisiveness.

On the contrary, she was more decisive and ruthless than he had expected, and she ended the killing with killing in a way he had not expected.

He was sure that if his second brother was unwilling to stop and wanted to continue to play dirty tricks, she would not only not back down, but would ride on him without giving in. Li Shou's mouth corners slightly raised, and the upward arc carried a hint of bitterness that came from hindsight.

Now, he has finally taken the first step towards truly understanding the real her.

"Your Highness..."

"I know it's time to put everything to rest."

Even though Meng Shisan had no intention of speaking frankly to Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu, and chose to speak the truth to Meng Renping first, at noon the next day, he and his son learned about what Meng Shisan had done after Meng Renping went to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue in person.

After all, Meng Tianguan was the head of a department, and the chief official of the six departments. He was over fifty years old and had seen all kinds of storms. However, when he first heard Changsun's detailed narration, no matter how calm he tried, he almost couldn't hold the tea bowl in his hand.

Meng Zhidu was less enthusiastic. Although he was reserved, when he heard his eldest son's straightforward narration, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Meng Renping, as if Meng Renping was telling a huge joke. After Meng Renping repeatedly confirmed that it was true, he even walked around the office at least ten times.

I have to say that Meng Zhidu and Meng Renping are a very similar father and son.

For example, both father and son have the same habit of thinking and going around in circles when encountering problems.

After Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu learned from Meng Renping about Li Shou's attitude and what he wanted to do next, Meng Tianguan asked his eldest grandson to follow the prince's grandson and assist in the charge, and Meng Zhidu also asked his eldest son to cooperate with His Highness.

In short, no matter what Li Shou wants to do or what purpose he wants to achieve, what they mean is that he should not forget that the Meng family is behind him. If he needs any support, the Meng family will do their best without hesitation.

When Emperor Zong obtained Li Heng's private residence outside the palace and all the guests in the residence were killed, it was Min Fan who came to the imperial court to report.

Steward Gan was standing beside the imperial desk. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard the words. He secretly glanced at Emperor Zong and found that he had a blank expression on his face. He quickly retracted his glance.

Never dare to be presumptuous again.

After Min Fan finished his report, he stood under the imperial desk waiting for instructions. He did not look away, but when Master Tong passed by with the freshly brewed tea, he silently stared at Master Tong's embroidered shoes as they passed under his lowered eyes.

This is Qianhe Palace. As a female official of the second rank, Tong Yushi never asked others to do the trivial tasks of serving tea and food, and she always did it herself.

She handed the tea bowl steadily to Emperor Zong's desk, and took away the slightly cold tea bowl in mid-air. Then she retreated with her brows lowered.

During the entire process, not a single unnecessary sound was made.

Min Fan thought to himself that only Master Tong could come in and out safely under the eyes of His Majesty, regardless of whether it was rainy or sunny.

Manager Gan also secretly gave Master Tong a thumbs up in his heart. Master Tong's calmness even in the face of a landslide and the crack of the earth must be the pinnacle of the art.

After a moment, Emperor Zong asked Min Fan in a deep voice: "Do you have any evidence?"

Min Fan shook his head: "There is no evidence."

"Then where did you come to this conclusion?" The matter was of great importance, and the Emperor had to get it clear.

"Last night, Young Master Meng stayed in the East Palace." Min Fan stopped there and briefly reported his conclusion to the heavens. "Although one cannot enter the Crown Prince's bedroom, one can still infer this general conclusion from a few clues."

Emperor Zong pursed his lips and said nothing.
