The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 787 Don’t Underestimate

Based on Meng Shisan's understanding of Shi Que's illness, although it was serious and fatal, the current situation did not reach the point of death. How could he suddenly stop moving?

She said, "Speak clearly."

Since Shi Jue was brought back to the capital by Meng Renping, he was placed in Li Shou's private residence outside the palace. The house was fully equipped and well taken care of. Under the careful care of Imperial Physician Gao, his symptoms did not improve, but they did not get worse either.

But today, one of the medicinal ingredients in the medicine that Shi Que had to take every day was missing.

It was sold out, so he could just buy more. However, when the steward in charge of buying medicine for Li Shou's private residence searched all the pharmacies in the capital and found nothing, Doctor Gao realized that something was wrong.

"Even Imperial Physician Gao was unable to buy the required medicinal materials?" Meng Shisan felt that Imperial Physician Gao worked in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Although his rank was not high, as a doctor, he was well-reputed among the people. If he went out personally to buy the medicine, it should not be difficult to buy any of it.

However, Shi Lianchun shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I can't buy it."

"What medicinal herbs?" Meng Shisan did not ask any more questions. Saving lives was the most important thing, so she asked directly about the missing medicine.

Shi Lianchun hurriedly said, "Hundred-year-old ginseng."

Meng Shisan paused, then turned to Tong Yu and said, "Go find Shangchun and ask her if I still have 100-year-old ginseng in my private vault. If not, ask her to ask at my aunt's courtyard."

Tongyu obeyed the order and left Mingxiaotang.

"Thank you, Miss Meng." Shi Lianchun wanted to kneel down and kowtow again.

Meng Shisan was quick-witted this time and grabbed Shi Lianchun, "Alright, stop kneeling and kowtowing all the time. I don't know about other people, and I don't care. Anyway, as for me, since I promised to help you, I will help you to the end no matter what happens. You really don't need to do this."

Shi Lianchun was so grateful that she wanted to say thank you again, but under Meng Shisan's stare, the words turned on the tip of her tongue and went back into her throat without coming out.

"Sit down. It should be available when you come back from enjoying the spring," she said.

Shi Lianchun followed instructions and sat down in the nearest seat, sitting very carefully and with great trepidation.

Changan took the tea bowl that the maid had brewed for him, brought it to Shi Lianchun's desk and put it down: "Miss Shi, have some tea to calm your nerves."

Shi Lianchun slowly finished a bowl of tea, and Shangchun walked into Mingxiaotang with two wooden boxes: "Miss, there are two hundred-year-old ginsengs in the private storehouse."

Meng Shisan and Shi Lianchun said, "Take it and quickly make medicine for your father."

As soon as Shangchun entered the house, she was holding two half-arm-long wooden boxes in her hands. Shi Lianchun knew that what she asked for was finally granted, and she stood up immediately with joy. At this moment, she was grateful for the gift from Meng Shisan, and she wanted to kneel down and kowtow. However, Meng Shisan had just said not long ago that she was not allowed to kneel down and kowtow. She wanted to kneel but did not dare to do so. For a moment, she was so excited that she stood there motionless.

Shangchun turned sideways, took a step forward, and handed two wooden boxes to Shi Lianchun: "Please accept them, Miss Shi."

Miss Shi nodded repeatedly and took the two ginsengs.

"It's getting late, go quickly." Seeing that Shi Lianchun still didn't move after taking the wooden box, Meng Shisan reminded him, "Your father's life is at stake."

Shi Lianchun was startled, and immediately broke away from his immense gratitude to Meng Shisan. He bowed silently to Meng Shisan, and then left quickly. Watching Shi Lianchun's back as he stepped down the stone steps of the veranda, Meng Shisan said softly to Chang'an, "Follow him. If there are no other accidents, that's good. If there are other accidents, you can handle them. As long as you ensure that Shi Jue doesn't die, you can do the rest. Good or bad, I'm here."

"Okay. Miss, do you think it's strange that there is not a single 100-year-old ginseng plant in the whole capital?" Chang'an agreed and asked again, "Could it be..."

A stumbling block created by the Second Prince?
"It should be." Meng Shisan first answered Chang'an's unfinished guess, and then said indifferently, "No matter whether it is true or not, we have to save people to the end. If we give up halfway, wouldn't it be a waste of his will?"

Now she is eager to cause more trouble to Li Heng, so how could she possibly do what he wants?

If he wanted to cause trouble, she would solve it, just as she had thought before, she would just deal with his moves.

Chang'an understood, and then left the Meng Mansion, following Shi Lianchun, and arrived at Li Shou's private residence together.

Huang Jing kept his word and said he would return to Meng Mansion before dinner, so she could not stay in the inn until after dinner.

Before Lan Zhijin came to Beijing, she hadn't seen Huang Jing for several months. When they met in this small inn, she rushed towards him before he even shouted for a fight.

Helpless, he could only fight.

After smashing all the tables and chairs in the lobby of the inn into pieces, the two ended up in a draw. Faced with many unfriendly looks from the innkeeper and the waiters, he and she had to stop.

After stopping, he wanted to reminisce about the past with her.

After all, we haven't talked for a long time.

Unexpectedly, she stopped, turned around, bowed to the shopkeeper, the waiter and the guest, and apologized. Without waiting for him to say anything, she quickly went upstairs, threw the bag behind her, trotted downstairs, and rushed straight to the door of the inn.

There was no chance for him to keep her there.

After great difficulty, the two of them returned to the inn and were sitting in his guest room in harmony. Unexpectedly, before they had said much, she stood up and was about to go back to the Meng Mansion.

"I still have some silver on me, so why don't you not go back to the Meng Mansion? After all, it's someone else's mansion, can you live comfortably there?" Lan Zhijin wanted to keep the person, keep him within his sight.

Huang Jing smiled widely: "Of course I am comfortable living here! The Meng Mansion is hundreds of times better than this small inn, how could I not be comfortable living here? Besides, it is your business whether you have money or not, it is not mine."

"You've suddenly become so polite. I'm really not used to it." Lan Zhijin didn't believe what Huang Jing was going to tell him. She moved into the Meng Mansion just to make friends with the eldest lady of the Meng Mansion. "Can't you just tell me honestly why you moved into the Meng Mansion?"

"Maybe... Miss Meng has the same doubts as you." Huang Jing had no intention of talking too much to Lan Zhijin, but seeing that he answered everything she asked just now, she decided to clear up his doubts for him. "But Miss Meng is much more stable and reserved than you. She just kept her doubts in her heart, unlike you, who asked me directly even though she knew I couldn't answer."

After spending a short period of time together in the same courtyard, she felt that Meng Liangchen, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, was truly extraordinary.

It was slightly different from the rumors, but not much different, which really surprised her.

"She's already suspicious of you, how can you still stay here?" Lan Zhijin didn't care what Huang Jing's purpose was in getting close to Meng Shisan, he just knew that he didn't want her to get into trouble. "Let me tell you, in this little inn, I've heard a lot of comments about Miss Meng, and the outrageous and cruel things she's done."
