The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 789: Uncoincidental

Unlike Li Heng's private residence in Manjiangfang to the west, Li Shou's private residence was located in Lidaifang to the east, adjacent to Zhanjianfang where Meng's mansion was located, and in the same square as Prince Jing's mansion.

It only took a moment to travel from Meng Mansion to Li Shou's private residence in Chang'an.

This time he entered not openly like the last time, but took advantage of the night, climbed over the eaves and walls, and sneaked into the huge mansion with the locust bird, guarding outside the house where Shi Que lived, hiding in the dense and towering canopy of a big tree.

Shi Lianchun was personally guarding Shi Que's bedside, feeding him the freshly cooked medicine mouthful by mouthful.

Doctor Gao was also there, watching from the side and giving medical instructions.

Chang'an took a quick look and stopped staring at it. He turned around and inspected the entire luxurious private residence which also had five courtyards.

She stood high and saw far, and she could see everyone and everything in the mansion.

Everything is fine now.

Shi Que's condition soon spread to the palace and reached Li Shou's ears.

The news was personally delivered to the palace gate by Steward Lu in the private residence, and then the guards at the palace gate reported to the East Palace. Later, Wang Gui went to the palace gate in person to get the news, and finally Chang Qing personally brought the news to the Chuanxin Hall.

Li Shou was sitting next to the big kitchen well, chatting with Meng Renping.

Ji Kuan was also there, watching from the side, trying his best to be a gentleman who watches a game of chess in silence.

"...After that, it was said that Miss Shi went to Miss Meng with tears in her eyes. When she left the house, Miss Shi was holding two hundred-year-old ginsengs in her hands, half happy and half anxious as she hurried back." Chang Qing reported the news she heard from Wang Gui word for word. "When she was rushing to the mansion of His Highness, Chang'an followed behind."

After reporting, he waited quietly, waiting to see if his Highness had any further instructions.

Before Li Shou could say anything, Meng Renping, holding the chess piece in one hand, turned his head to face Chang Qing and asked, "Do you know this so clearly?"

Chang Qing smiled and said, "I think Miss Meng had already given instructions. The reason why Old Lu knows so much is because Chang An told him himself."

Meng Renping said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and placed the white piece in his hand on the jade double fish chessboard.

"He is probably messing with things again." The first thing Li Shou thought of was exactly the same as what Meng Shisan thought of. "The person I want to protect is the one he wants to kill."

Ji Kuan was stunned for a moment: "Who are you talking about, Your Highness?"

"Who else could it be?" Meng Renping answered for Li Shou without even looking at Ji Kuan, "Whoever His Highness is fighting the most fiercely right now is that person."

Ji Kuan suddenly realized: "How many people have been killed? How can the Second Prince still have a hand free to kill County Magistrate Shi?"

"As of today, I have killed three of his officials above the third rank. The remaining officials, big or small, add up to more than ten. Although we didn't lose that many, the damage was not small." Li Shou placed the black piece on the chessboard that could kill a large number of Meng Renping's white pieces. "In addition to Zhu Xiye being an important figure in the disaster in Lueyang, Shi Jue is also an important figure in the corruption and gang formation in Fangshan. He wants to take Shi Jue's life, nothing more than to silence him."

When Zhu Xiye came to Beijing, he followed him into the capital secretly. At first, it was fine. Later, as the days progressed, Zhu Xiye encountered several assassination attempts inside and outside the city.

Zhu Xiye’s family was no exception.

Fortunately, he was well prepared, and after several close calls, he was able to escape without any danger.

"Hasn't Chi Nan already learned where the evidence in Magistrate Shi's hands is from Magistrate Shi?" According to Ji Kuan's humble opinion, he felt that as long as he got the evidence, even if Shi Jue was unfortunately killed, Li Heng's trick would not succeed. "You think too simply." Meng Renping disagreed, "All the evidence in Magistrate Zhu's hands has been handed over to His Highness."

Just hearing this sentence, Ji Kuan's slow mind immediately turned around: "Are you saying that evidence alone is not enough, and we need witnesses?"

"The living witnesses, plus the dead objects that my father considered to be evidence or fabricated, make us complete." Whenever Li Shou thought of how Emperor Zong lied with open eyes in the imperial study in order to save Li Heng and uttered such blunt words with thundering force, he became more and more determined to bring his second brother down from power.

This was not the first time Ji Kuan had heard such remarks, but every time he heard them, he felt suffocated and his chest was swollen, as he was neither as reserved as Li Shou nor as calm as Meng Renping.

In other words, he didn't dare to confront the emperor directly, otherwise he would have cursed him hundreds of times a day.

"Select some people with high skills and quick reactions, and send them out of the palace now and rush to my private residence outside the palace. Once you arrive, don't rush back, just stay there and make sure Shi Que's safety." Li Shou paused and emphasized, "Shi Que cannot die before Imperial Doctor Gao finds a magic formula to cure Shi Que's illness."

"Understood." Ji Kuan took the order and left, immediately starting to arrange people to go to Li Shou's private residence.

In fact, his arrangement is nothing more than two people, either Baizhuo or Baisha.

It was finally determined that Bai Zhuo left the palace and rushed to Li Shou's private residence.

When Ji Kuan returned to the big well, Li Shou and Meng Renping had already started a new game.

Li Shou was asking Chang Qing: "Yaoyao didn't leave the house, right?"

"No." Chang Qing answered and saw Meng Renping looking at him, "Mr. Meng has told Miss Meng, Miss Meng respects her elder brother, I think she really listened to him."

After hearing this, Meng Renping smiled comfortably, and Ji Kuan also smiled. However, Li Shou's handsome face seemed to be suddenly covered by a layer of dark cloud.

Chang Qing was very observant of people's expressions and knew his own prince best. Seeing this, he took two steps back, thinking that he had said something wrong again and made his prince unhappy.

But he did not mean to upset His Highness on purpose; what he said was simply the truth.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this fact. The only problem was that Miss Meng was well-behaved in front of His Highness, but when it came to being obedient, once it came to marriage and lifelong relationships, Miss Meng would be bold enough to go against His Highness.

This is also true.

But this is the fact that His Highness is most reluctant to admit.

After such a discussion, Miss Meng had heard enough of Young Master Meng's words, and His Highness couldn't help feeling depressed and angry, which showed on his face. Regardless of whether he had spoken out of turn, it was his fault.

Ugh.

As Chang Qing stepped back, he sighed silently in his heart. Meng Renping and Ji Kuan also noticed at the same time that Li Shou's face was tense, causing them to look at each other.

There is no answer.

When Bai Zhuo arrived at Li Shou's private residence, Chang'an saw him as soon as he entered the gate. When Bai Zhuo stepped into Shi Que's bedroom, he also felt like someone was staring at him.

So when he looked up and tried to find a suspicious point high up, she also looked surprised.

Chang'an didn't expect that a mere mortal could be so alert.
