The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 766: Unfavorable Heir

Even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, you may not be able to survive a smooth delivery.

Not to mention that Chi Nan was worried, if he put himself in his sister's shoes, if he knew that the childbirth would most likely result in death, he would never agree to let his sister get pregnant and exchange her life for bloodline.

Even a warrior like him can understand such a simple truth, so how could His Highness not understand it?
Your Highness has thought of it, but it is just that you cannot let it go at the moment.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the fate between His Highness and Miss Meng is an ill-fated one.

After some thoughts, Ji Kuan felt that he had grown up, his mind was much clearer than before, and he straightened his back in an instant.

Just at this moment, Meng Renping, who had just left the palace and returned to the Meng Mansion, stepped into the Wenhua Hall and saw Ji Kuan with his back straight. Ji Kuan stepped forward and wanted to ask a few questions first, but Meng Renping just walked past him expressionlessly.

Ji Kuan looked puzzled. Was he ignored?
As soon as Meng Renping entered the hall, Li Shou heard footsteps and looked up. Seeing that Meng Renping looked unhappy, he couldn't help but frowned: "Yaoyao left the house again?"

This question made Ji Kuan's heart skip a beat.

It is conceivable how earth-shattering the sorrow between Li Shou's brows was when he asked this question.

Fortunately, Meng Renping shook his head and said, "Yaoyao was ordered by her grandmother not to go anywhere."

The eldest cousin behaves in an eccentric way. Her act of killing all the second prince's followers was a bit extreme, but other than that, the eldest cousin is very filial and listens to her elders.

Especially my grandmother's words.

"That's good." Li Shou breathed a sigh of relief, calming down the sudden uproar in his heart, and asked Meng Renping about the business of leaving the palace and coming back, "What does grandfather think of my suggestion?"

Ever since the flood incident in Lueyang failed to convince his father to severely punish his second brother, he began to make other arrangements. Since his father did not believe the hard evidence he brought back from Lueyang at a risky distance, it was time to trim off some of the unnecessary branches.

Among the second prince's party in the court, he targeted a few.

As the head of the Ministry of Personnel, my grandfather had the power to appoint and transfer people. Although his father, the emperor, had to review all of them, he had lived in the Wenhua Palace for a long time and was well aware of the fact that some details were rotten.

Now that it is clear, then where to cut, just hold his hand.

In addition to asking Chi Nan's family to go and see if his eldest cousin could stay in the mansion safely, he also asked Chi Nan to go to the Ministry of Personnel to ask his grandfather whether he could cooperate.

"Grandfather means that he can cooperate, but..." Meng Renping looked at Li Shou hesitantly.

Li Shou said, "Just speak frankly."

Meng Renping immediately said bluntly: "Grandfather said that Your Highness is making a big move this time. It is a small matter to cut off the wings of a few Second Princes. If it angers His Majesty... then it will be a big deal."

Li Shou had expected his grandfather to be considerate of him, and he was mentally prepared: "No problem."

Some positions have to be established sooner or later, some things have to be clarified sooner or later, some boundaries have to be drawn sooner or later.

In that case, it’s better to do it early than late.

"And..." Meng Renping hesitated. Li Shou looked at him.

He slowly asked Meng Tianguan another question: "Grandfather asked me to ask Your Highness, have you really decided?"

"what?"

"...Yaoyao is weak and frail, which is not conducive to having children."

Li Shou raised his lips and asked, "Grandfather agrees that I will marry Yaoyao?"

Meng Renping sighed, "If His Highness really wants to marry, no one can persuade him, right?"

"I want to have children, but I won't force Yaoyao. If Yaoyao wants to have a child, then she can have one. If Yaoyao is afraid, then she won't." Li Shou had thought about this problem a long time ago, and his solution was to hand over the decision-making power to Meng Shisan.

"Once the Eastern Palace has a Crown Princess, the birth of the Crown Prince will surely become a national event. By then, it won't be a question of whether Yaoyao wants to have a baby or not." Meng Renping analyzed rationally, "Your Majesty has long been looking forward to Your Highness marrying a wife, in order for Your Highness to have children as soon as possible. Your Highness insists on marrying Yaoyao as the Crown Princess. Even if Your Majesty can't persuade Your Highness and reluctantly agrees to Yaoyao marrying into the Eastern Palace, Your Majesty must have heard about Yaoyao's frail body. What do you think Your Highness will do then?"

Li Shou understood that the real reason why his grandfather asked Chi Nan to ask him this question was not because of him and his cousin, but because of his father. "Grandfather, do you think that on the day when I marry Yaoyao, there will be other people accompanying the Crown Princess to marry into the East Palace?"

"The Eastern Palace marries a Crown Princess and grants two Crown Princesses at the same time. This is a common practice in every dynasty and generation. It is not a precedent." Meng Renping nodded. This was exactly what his grandfather meant. He also meant this. "Your Highness should know that with Yaoyao's temper, I'm afraid she won't allow Your Highness to marry her and take in two concubines at the same time."

He didn't know what the point of the question his grandfather asked him to ask was, but his point was this.

He didn't want his eldest cousin to suffer such grievances on the day she married into the Eastern Palace. The key point was that his eldest cousin would definitely not be able to bear such grievances. When his eldest cousin made a fuss, given her various tough behaviors after she came of age, he felt that it was not impossible for her to tear down the Eastern Palace on the day of her wedding.

After all, the eldest cousin had already done it in the middle of the night and secretly set a fire in the East Palace just to achieve her goal.

Although he still doesn't know who her accomplice in the Eastern Palace is, as long as there is this accomplice, and with the support of the two people brought by his eldest cousin to kill all the second prince's followers, even if his eldest cousin turns the Eastern Palace upside down, it will be possible.

When Li Shou heard Meng Renping say that Emperor Zong would most likely let him take in two concubines on the day of his and Meng Shisan's wedding, he inexplicably thought of what Meng Shisan had admitted earlier, that the fire in the East Palace was caused by her.

Think about it, consider it, ponder it, and panic about it.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't help but think of Meng Renping's unspoken worries: "Chi Nan, Yaoyao still hasn't told you the identity of the accomplice she placed in the East Palace?"

"Did Yaoyao tell His Highness?" Meng Renping asked in return. Of course, he was not really trying to turn the tables on Li Shou, but was stating the facts. "Yaoyao didn't even tell His Highness, so how could she tell me? Yaoyao is good at acting like a spoiled brat in front of me, but she doesn't dare to do that in front of His Highness. Most of the time, she is respectful and doesn't dare to overstep the line in the slightest."

Li Shou's eyebrows knitted again after hearing this: "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, didn't you notice?"

"What should I discover?"

Ji Kuan stood aside and listened quietly. At this point, he unconsciously tilted his ears towards Li Shou's seat and the desk where Meng Renping was sitting.

The same is true for evergreen.

Both of them wanted to know what kind of riddle Meng Renping was talking about.
