The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 802: In front of the waist shed

"She insisted on leaving the house...she was bored these days." Li Shou couldn't bear to say anything bad about her. He rubbed his brows and wondered if there were any omissions in Meng Shisan's escort for tonight's trip.

After thinking it over, he said to Ji Kuan, "Fu Feng, go out of the palace and follow him in person."

Otherwise he would be really worried.

Li Heng was worried that he couldn't find another opportunity to assassinate his cousin, but his cousin was very brave. She went out anyway at the invitation of Dong Linglong even though she knew it was not safe.

Everything was ready to go. Meng Renping followed him outside the mansion and repeated the instructions he had said no less than twenty times: "Don't be alone, don't crowd with others, don't trust others easily, don't..."

"Okay, brother, I've remembered everything." Meng Shisan interrupted his eldest cousin's earnest instructions.

Meng Renping was very helpless when being interrupted: "...come back earlier."

"Yeah." Meng Shisan nodded.

The phoenix rising from the ashes trick is an evening show, performed from the beginning to the end of the 11th hour of the Pig.

Therefore, when Ji Kuan received the order and rushed to the Anmofang Theater, the magic show had already begun. Meng Shisan and Dong Linglong were also seated at the front waist tent in one of the hook-rail Phoenix sheds, watching the magic show and chatting and laughing.

He saw Meng Shisan's silhouette from afar, and the breath that was stuck in his throat finally came out.

I’m afraid that I’ll be late and fail in the task that His Highness has entrusted me with.

Baisha and the servants of the Meng Mansion followed behind Meng Shisan, one secretly and one brightly, from the side, always keeping an eye on the safety of Meng Shisan and Dong Linglong.

Suddenly he felt a pat on his shoulder. Before he turned his head, he subconsciously tried to pull out the knife, but Bai Zhuo held it down in time, pushing the exposed blade back.

"...Why are you here too?" Baisha was stunned for a few moments before he reacted and asked Baizhuo.

Bai Zhuo pointed to the other side and said, "Did you see the adults?"

Baisha looked in the direction he was looking at: "...Why is the Master here too?"

"Your Highness has given the order." Bai Zhuo answered simply and concisely.

Bai Sha Liming: "Then I..."

"Guard it." Bai Zhuo came to Bai Sha on Ji Kuan's orders, and agreed with Bai Sha that each side would watch over the other side. "You're on this side, and the lord and I are on that side. This way, if anyone is so blind as to want to provoke Miss Meng, no matter which side we are on, we can respond in time."

Dong Linglong is a martial artist, and has a keen sense of certain things over the years. As she watched the phoenix reborn from the fire, she leaned over and said to Meng Shisan, "Since we left your house, I always felt like someone was following us."

It was at this moment, when the surroundings were bustling with activity and noise, that she whispered this speculation.

Meng Shisan looked at Dong Linglong in surprise.

Dong Linglong was amused by this look: "What? Didn't you notice it? Or do you think I shouldn't notice it?"

Meng Shisan said truthfully: "I just feel that... after not seeing you for three days, I should look at you with new eyes."

"Did you know it earlier?" Dong Linglong didn't worry about whether Meng Shisan looked down on her or overestimated her. What she cared about was whether Meng Shisan knew it or not along the way.

"I know. They are the guards sent by His Highness for my safety." Meng Shisan also said a little more. "When I don't step out of the house, they will guard near my house. If I go out, they will follow me secretly and protect me."

Dong Linglong opened her mouth and then closed it again. Meng Shisan looked at Dong Linglong's hesitant expression, thought about it and decided to say something more: "Look to my left side of the shed now."

Dong Linglong did as she was told, and then she saw Ji Kuan standing beside the shed: "That's..."

Commander of the Eastern Palace Guards!

"Yes." After Ji Kuan entered the Phoenix Pavilion and came to the side of the waist pavilion where the audience was, Meng Shisan received Chang'an's secret report, "It's very troublesome for me to go out now, and I don't like trouble very much, so I basically don't go out recently."

"Have you encountered any danger?" Otherwise, Donggong wouldn't be so worried. After asking, Dong Linglong immediately frowned again, "If that's the case, why did you agree to come out with me so late tonight to watch the magic show?"

Magic tricks can be seen at any time, and safety comes first.

Meng Shisan said nonchalantly: "If I don't come out, how can I let some people succeed?"

If some people fail to succeed, how can she let others suffer the consequences?

Dong Linglong was confused: "Who?"

At this time, Chang'an, who was standing behind Meng Shisan, stepped forward and said, "Miss, Mr. Ma came out from the backstage after his performance and is coming this way."

The performer of the Phoenix Rebirth from the Ashes tonight was none other than Ma Ji, and Ma Ji's magical skill of creating fire out of nothing successfully attracted the full attention of Pei Yan who was lying in ambush outside the Phoenix shed.

No matter how Pei Yan looked at it or thought about it, he felt that Ma Ji's skill in wielding fire was the same as the fire that had burned those people to death from the inside out in his own prince's private residence.

The reason why he said it seemed was that he was not sure yet.

But for such a matter, apart from asking Ma Ji directly, he couldn't just wait here for Meng Shisan and wait for the opportunity to assassinate him again, and he couldn't spare time to ask.

It was not until Ma Ji came from the backstage to the front of the waist tent, where Meng Shisan and Dong Linglong were sitting, that the uncertainty in his heart was reduced a little.

There is at least a 70% to 80% chance that the murder of His Highness's retainers is related to this old man!
It was not only Fei Yan outside the shed who noticed the horse's galloping, but also Ji Kuan inside the shed: "Is that... the old man who traveled with Master Cui Qi last time?"

"He was the old man Ma who had a long conversation with Master Cui Qi at the Canghong Lake in Bixu Manor." Bai Zhuo remembered it clearly, "I didn't expect that he seemed to be quite familiar with Miss Meng."

"What do you mean?" Ji Kuan asked.

Bai Zhuo reported, "Once, Bai Sha saw him go to the Meng residence to ask to see Miss Meng, and Miss Meng also met him. As for why, Bai Sha doesn't know."

He paused and added, "I have reported this matter to you, sir."

"Have you reported it?" Ji Kuan felt that this was the first time he heard of this matter. He didn't need to think too much about it to know that he didn't pay much attention to it at the time and forgot about it afterwards.

Now that I think about it, Chi Nan's eldest cousin was able to bring Chang'an and this old man Ma to the Second Prince's private residence to kill people. It turned out that she had been prepared for this.

He asked, "When you investigated this Mr. Ma, did you find out how long Miss Meng had known him?"

"The incident at the Saffron Lake was the first meeting between Miss Meng and Mr. Ma." Bai Zhuo had found out a lot about this.

"We haven't known each other for long..." He was so trustworthy that he came to kill her with his men. Ji Kuan looked at Ma Ji who was sitting at the table where Meng Shisan and Dong Linglong were sitting. He felt that the relationship between Ma Ji and Meng Shisan must be complicated. "How could an old man who makes a living in a theater have any interest in Miss Meng that he could be so involved that she could even risk her life for him?"

He spoke softly, almost whispering.
