The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 800 Knowing the Truth

The two of them stared at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and pursed their lips at the same time.

Your Majesty was obsessed with saving the Second Prince and did not want to see fellow human beings killing each other, which led to the collapse of the mountain of lights at the Bixu Manor on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, killing dozens of civilians, and the magistrate of Fangshan, Shi, who was unwilling to go along with the crowd and became seriously ill and bedridden.

They all knew the next two items, including His Majesty.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never mentioned it again in the Imperial Study, he was secretly trying to catch the Second Prince's tail, collecting both physical and witness evidence. As long as the opportunity came, he would be able to completely drive the Second Prince out of the ranks of the royal princes.

Being able to become a commoner and save his life is still the more conservative idea of ​​the two. According to the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is estimated that even the chance of letting the Second Prince live will be deprived.

After all, many innocent lives have died at the hands of the Second Prince.

Given the good character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could he allow the Second Prince, who regards the lives of the people as worthless, to survive?

Inside the imperial study, a storm was raging. Outside the imperial study, Li Shou signaled to the young eunuch that there was no need to pass on the message. He stood there for a while before turning around and leaving.

Chang Qing was puzzled: "Your Highness, don't you have something to ask His Majesty?"

"No need." Li Shou felt that it was unnecessary at this moment.

Things have developed to this point, and his father is still hoping for luck and still wants to keep Li Heng, so he will let his father know what it means that those who do evil will eventually perish, and why a prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner.

The Lueyang disaster was not significant enough, so if we add the Fangshan corruption incident and the Dengshan collapse incident, even if my father still insists on having his own way, the total weight of these incidents will be enough to suppress the selfishness in my father's heart in front of all the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace.

No matter...willing or not!

"Is there any news coming back from outside the palace?" Li Shou asked.

Without a name or surname, Chang Qing knew who his Highness was asking about without asking: "Bai Sha sent back news that Miss Meng has not stepped out of the mansion. If there is anything to be done, it is the maids around Miss Meng who go out of the mansion to do it."

Li Shou asked the maid how many times she had left the house: "How many times?"

"Many times, almost everyone around Miss Meng, except Baozhu and Fengzheng who were injured and still recovering, went out. Among them, Tongyu, one of the Four Jades, went out the most. There was also a Heavenly Master named Huang Jing." Chang Qing reported this and further explained, "When I went out with this Heavenly Master Huang, they went to the private residence of the Second Prince together."

"Yaoyao is still investigating the collapse of Dengshan Mountain." Li Shou understood that even though Feng Zheng almost lost his life, she was not afraid at all and continued to investigate as usual. He asked another question, "Did you find anything useful about Chang'an and Ma Ji's past?"

Chang Qing shook his head: "Wang Gui investigated the horse's disease, but found nothing useful. Chang'an has lived in Jinling for a long time, and the people sent to Jinling to investigate have not returned yet."

"Isn't Ma Ji a magician in the theater? How can we find nothing useful?" Li Shou originally thought that Wang Gui would be enough to investigate Ma Ji, but now he heard that this was not the case. "If that doesn't work, you go and investigate it yourself."

"Yes." Chang Qing accepted the order.

"We must find out how Ma Ji killed the man." Li Shou paused, "As for Chang'an... well, let's wait for the people who went to Jinling to come back."

Chang Qing tried to suggest, "Your Highness, why don't you just ask Miss Meng?"

Li Shou smiled bitterly: "I asked her about Chang'an last time, but she gave a vague answer and had no intention of telling me in detail."

"Perhaps Miss Meng will tell His Highness about it in detail now?" Chang Qing thought it was possible, people always change. Li Shou paused and glanced at Chang Qing. He actually felt that there was some truth in it, and thought to himself that he would ask Yaoyao next time he saw her.

Old Ma sat quietly in the yard. He waited until the people outside the gate left. Then he slowly got up from the rocking chair under the tree, walked outside the gate, and looked towards the entrance of the alley.

No one was in sight.

He came very quietly and left very quietly.

He did not recognize the person who came. He thought carefully about what had happened recently and followed Miss Meng to the second prince's private residence. They joined forces with Chang'an to kill those guests. This was a big deal.

So... is it related to this matter?
Probably.

That must be someone sent by a big shot in Beijing.

Mr. Ma was not sure whether he was Li Heng's man or not.

Unsure, he decided to report to the Meng Mansion.

Instead of going to the Meng Mansion himself, he took five copper coins and sent a little beggar to deliver the message to the Meng Mansion.

After receiving the message from Ma Lao, Meng Shisan put down the scissors that he was using to trim the extra branches and leaves of the potted plants and said to Tong Yu, "Go to Ma Ji's house and tell him that nothing is wrong. There is just someone who wants to check on him. He doesn't need to worry. I will take care of it."

Tongyu agreed and then left the house.

Shangchun was also nearby, listening and asking, "Miss, do you know who it is?"

She knew Ma Ji, the elderly man in his seventies who had broken into the second prince's private residence together with the young lady and Chang'an.

"You know that I led people to kill all the hundred guests in the second prince's private residence. Specifically, the people I brought with Chang'an and Ma Ji are all our own people." Meng Shisan took the soup handed over by Jin Yin, picked up the soup spoon and scooped it up to take a bite. His mouth was immediately filled with the fragrance of jujube. "When big brother comes home from the court today, I will talk to him."

Please ask my eldest cousin to pass a message to the East Palace tomorrow and explain that she will explain the details of the horse's disease to His Highness later, so that the matter can be resolved.

After receiving the message from Tongyu about Meng Shisan's words, Ma Lao closed the gate and walked slowly to the theater to continue his magic performance.

Miss Meng said she could solve it, so he felt relieved.

When Tongyu returned to Meng's Mansion from Mocheng Hutong, Dong Linglong entered the Mansion at the same time.

The fact that Meng Shisan was assassinated at night was never spread. One reason was that Li Heng handled it very cleanly and neatly. The other reason was that Meng Shisan himself, the Meng family, and Li Shou all knew that it was Li Heng who did it, and they reached a consensus not to publicize it but to get back at Li Heng in secret.

Therefore, the three fatal points that Li Heng consciously identified were not only the attack points proactively provoked by Meng Shisan's side, but also a fair fight of tit-for-tat in the open world.

It was never made public, so only people knew about it. Dong Linglong naturally didn't know about it.

When she came to the house, she found that Meng Shisan had not left the house for some time and thought that Meng Shisan was sick again. Little did she know that at that time, Meng Shisan was leisurely feeding koi by the lake.

Dong Linglong was also led to the lake in the back garden of the Meng Mansion. She picked up the fish food and threw it into the lake. "I have nothing to do here. I just haven't seen you for a long time, so I wanted to come and see you... I hope you are okay."
