The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 790: Out
In addition to Bai Zhuo, there are ten East Palace guards.

Steward Lu did not ask much about the arrival of Bai Zhuo and others. It was enough for him to know that these were people sent by his prince to protect Shi Que.

Imperial Physician Gao had to develop a prescription that was tailored to Shi Que's condition, so Chang'an didn't stay on the treetop for long. He then went back to the Imperial Hospital and buried himself in searching for useful ancient medical prescriptions.

Shi Lianchun seemed much more relaxed when facing the arrival of Bai Zhuo and others. At least she no longer had to worry about her father's safety in the prince's private residence.

Although she had never worried about it before, once the fact that there was not a single hundred-year-old ginseng available in the whole capital happened, no matter how stupid she was, she could sense the approaching danger.

The danger was related to the Second Prince who was in opposition to the Eastern Palace, and also to the relevant evidence collected by his father during his tenure in Fangshan.

It's just... he wants to silence me.

If she could think of it, Miss Meng would certainly be able to think of it as well. Was the guards sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Eastern Palace related to Miss Meng?

After all, everyone in the capital knows that Miss Meng is a very important person in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

She went to ask Butler Lu, but unfortunately she couldn't get an answer, and she didn't dare to ask for help because of the white turbidity.

Chang'an was watching from a tree outside the house, observing Shi Lianchun's every word and action from beginning to end, and secretly thought that this young lady of the Shi family did understand her master a little.

Knowing that the master would keep his word, he must make careful arrangements for any conceivable danger and nip it in the bud.

But... my brain is still not very sharp.

The master asked Shi Lianchun to come to the private residence to keep an eye on his father at all times because he had anticipated that even if Shi Que was seriously ill, as long as Shi Que was still alive, the danger of being silenced would always exist.

Only when the dirty business of corruption and bribery in Fangshan is settled, and if his father is still alive, can he truly live a peaceful life.

Under such circumstances, there was an urgent shortage of hundred-year-old ginseng. If we say that it was the fault of housekeeper Lu in the private residence and the responsibility of Imperial Physician Gao's neglect, then Shi Lianchun was also lacking in consideration.

After all, you are young and still too immature.

Shi Lianchun had no idea that her actions were all seen by Chang'an, and she had no idea that the things Meng Shisan had given her were being belittled again and again in Chang'an's mind.

Although it is not worthless, it is not a good evaluation either.

If she knew, she would have realized that her behavior and words could not even pass Chang'an's test, so she would definitely not pass Meng Shisan's test.

It's also true.

When Meng Shisan learned that Shi Que's medicine was missing the ingredient hundred-year-old ginseng, she looked at Shi Lianchun again. Although she would still fulfill her promise, she no longer had the expectation of continuing the test.

Shi Lianchun, who could only kneel down and kowtow, was struck out.

What she wants and needs is someone who can handle the things at hand on his own when she is not planning.

For example, without her saying a word, Shangchun could still manage the chores in Taichen Courtyard.

Gao Yuan received an order from Meng Renping to leave the palace and return to Meng's Mansion to report to Meng Shisan about Bai Zhuo's bringing people to Li Shou's private residence. As soon as he finished reporting, he went back into the palace.

Meng Shisan did not express anything when he heard it. He just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

When the news reached Meng Renping, Li Shou, who was also present, asked, "Was Chang'an there when you entered Ming Xiao Hall?"

Gao Yuan thought: "Only the eldest lady and Tongyu were in the hall at that time." As for Chang'an, he didn't even see him enjoy the spring, let alone Chang'an whose whereabouts were even more erratic.

Meng Renping listened and instantly understood the hidden meaning of Li Shou's question: "Your Highness, do you think Yaoyao has also sent people?"

"Chang'an?" Ji Kuan thought about it and repeated the word Chang'an.

Li Shou neither denied nor confirmed: "Probably."

He was equivocal.

Meng Renping and Ji Kuan both confirmed in their hearts that their eldest cousin (Miss Meng) must have been sent to His Highness's private residence by Chang'an!
Meng Renping thought about it and felt a headache: "I told her not to get involved in these things, why didn't she listen?"

"Didn't you say long ago that you couldn't control your eldest sister?" Ji Kuan used what Meng Renping had said to him to stop Meng Renping's slightly irritable complaints, "It's not surprising."

Meng Renping looked up and gave him a sidelong glance.

He chuckled.

"As long as she doesn't leave the house, there will be no problem." Li Shou just wanted Meng Shisan to be safe. As for the people under Meng Shisan, in his opinion, if they were killed, he could just replace them. At that time, he would personally select a capable maid for her.

However, after hearing what Chi Nan said last time, he already knew that his cousin treated everyone around her, whether family members or servants, with sincerity, and it was not just a matter of changing as he thought.

Thus, even though he said this, he couldn't help but start planning in his mind how to carry out the Broken Wings Plan more quickly.

Meng Renping moved his eyes upwards, and when he saw Li Shou at the main table, quickening the pace of flipping through the documents on the table, he slightly opened his thin lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Ji Kuan realized it later and quietly squatted beside Meng Renping, saying softly, "Look at your Highness, your hands are so busy that they are almost leaving afterimages."

Meng Renping turned his head and looked deeply at Ji Kuan: "...Even you can see it."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean even I can see it?" Ji Kuan said angrily. When he got angry, he forgot to lower his voice when he said it. After he finished speaking, he realized it too late and quickly covered his mouth.

Li Shou didn't even turn his head, and his subordinate Langhao didn't even pause, only said in a slightly cold tone: "After being dismissed, Yang Tongzhi still didn't give up, and he went around asking for help, hoping to be reinstated. I heard that he has already gone to the Lu Mansion to ask for help today. Which of you two will go and solve the problem?"

Meng Renping sat there with a calm expression: "Yes."

Ji Kuan squatted down with a calm expression: "Yes."

Chang Qing looked accustomed to it: he had witnessed such scenes every now and then since the day when the two of them became the prince's study companions.

Lu Sen had just returned home from work and had not had a chance to rest. He had just changed into his regular clothes and was about to sit at the table to have dinner when he was informed that Yang Tongzhi had arrived.

He knew why Yang Tongzhi came, but he couldn't solve the problem, so he didn't want to meet him.

However, Yang Tongzhi was quite thick-skinned. Even though Lu Sen told him explicitly that he didn't want to see him, he still stayed in the flower hall in the front yard to receive guests. When Lu Luo returned home, he rushed out and knelt in front of Lu Luo.

I really don’t even have any shame anymore.

Lu Luo didn't know the whole story, but he had heard about the recent turmoil in the capital because he was involved in the investigation of the collapse of the lamp mountain. In addition, Lu Sen wanted him to stop doing anything rash, and analyzed the severity of the storm with him.

Therefore, he knew quite a lot.

So, when he saw Yang Tongzhi running out of the flower hall of his own mansion, his mind automatically jumped to the current camp confrontation. Then Yang Tongzhi knelt in front of him without saying a word. Before he opened his mouth to speak, he already knew what he wanted.
