The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 816: Looking for Water Snake

Huang Jing dared not forget the earnest teachings of the elders of the two clans: "So what you mean is..."

"You are quite smart. As soon as you entered the capital, you knew what was going on and moved into the Meng Mansion." Lan Zhijin praised him first, and then told Huang Jing what he was going to do. "Whether Chang'an is a human or a monster, it seems that I have to rely on you."

Huang Jing was shocked and said, "If she is really a demon with more than 300 years of cultivation, I will go to investigate whether she is a human or a demon. How could I not know how she died? I am afraid that you will not be able to give me a complete corpse after that!"

Lan Zhijin chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be so afraid of death."

"If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead!" Huang Jing would never fall into such a strange trap!
"...I think what you said makes sense." Lan Zhijin was not afraid of death, but was afraid of reckless and ignorant death. "Then are you going to leave Miss Meng?"

Huang Jing never thought about evacuating: "No. I won't commit suicide. I want to stay calm and know that every little bit counts."

At the end of her speech, she raised her chin proudly, turned around and strode back to the Meng Mansion.

Lan Zhijin stood there and watched until Huang Jing stepped into the gate of the Meng Mansion, and the corners of his mouth were curled up and could not fall down.

Huang Jing returned to Taichen Courtyard and first went to the door of Meng Shisan's bedroom. Seeing that the room was pitch black, she muttered, "He is really fast asleep."

After that, she went back to her room to rest.

Chang'an saw this in the dark and turned to go to Meng Shisan's bedroom.

There was no light in the inner room of the house, and the windowsills were closed. The moonlight could not penetrate the window lattice and shine on the south couch. The couch was in darkness. Meng Shisan just leaned on the couch, wearing boots and a hat, dressed neatly and warmly, sitting quietly waiting for Chang'an's arrival.

Chang'an came to the corridor outside the window sill and tapped the window frame twice with his bent fingers.

Meng Shisan gently pushed the windowsill, opened it and saw Changan: "Are they all back?"

"Miss Huang went back to her room to sleep, and Master Lan also returned to the inn." Chang'an had explored all the roads before coming, making sure they were feasible before reuniting with the owner.

"Then let's go." Meng Shisan stood up, but did not get off the bed. Instead, he jumped directly from the bed to the windowsill, softly and silently.

A carriage quietly came out from the alley behind the Meng Mansion and headed straight for the Imperial Street.

When they arrived near the Imperial Street, Meng Shisan and Chang'an got off the carriage. Chang'an tied the horse, and the master and servant walked towards the palace gate.

There was still a long distance from the palace gate, so Meng Shisan said to Chang'an, "Go invisible."

"Okay." Chang'an made a spell in his hand and set up a small barrier that was just big enough to cover the master and servant.

Although the barrier is small, it is flexible enough and can adjust its width front, back, left and right as the two people move.

When they approached the palace gate, the guards guarding the gate did not see the master and servant. They kept their eyes straight and continued to guard the gate diligently.

Meng Shisan looked up at the palace wall that was difficult for a mortal to cross, and the two majestic red-painted gates that were tightly closed. To pass through the palace gate, he had to rely on Chang'an: "Go in."

"Okay." Chang'an used another small penetrating spell, wrapping Meng Shisan up and passing through the huge palace gate.

After entering the palace, Meng Shisan recalled the route he took the last time he entered the palace and headed for the East Palace.

"Miss, are you so worried about the water snake?" Chang'an asked when he saw Meng Shisan running quickly.

Meng Shisan admitted: "I asked Xiaoqing to guard His Highness and linger on the sachet. When His Highness entered the Meng Mansion today and saw me, the sachet was still there, but Xiaoqing was gone. I have only known Xiaoqing for a short time, only a few months, but I believe that since I asked him to do it, he agreed and he would definitely not break his promise. This time when His Highness left the palace, he did not follow. Something must have happened in the palace, which made it impossible for him to always be by His Highness' side." Chang'an understood: "Then shall we go to the East Palace first?"

"Let's go to the East Palace to find out what's going on first." This is what Meng Shisan planned. "If Xiaoqing is not in the East Palace, then we can expand the search area."

"Miss, there is no need to worry. Yu Xiaoqing is a snake demon after all. He has been practicing Taoism for 600 years. Under normal circumstances, he cannot be hurt." Chang'an wanted to comfort Meng Shisan's heart.

Meng Shisan nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing is believing. Only when we find the water snake can we know what happened. Before that, anything we say is redundant.

In the East Palace, there were the Changxin Hall in the front, the Chengguang Hall in the back, the Chongyu Hall in the bedroom, the Dinghe Hall on the left, and the Taiyong Hall on the right, Meng Shisan and Chang'an walked through each hall, but they could not find any trace of the water snake.

Li Shou was not in the Eastern Palace either, he was still in Wenhua Palace and had not returned yet.

Because of the invisibility barrier, no one in the East Palace, whether it was the eunuchs, palace maids, or the patrolling guards outside, noticed that a master and servant had entered the East Palace.

Meng Shisan was a little annoyed as she failed to find the water snake. When she walked to Taiyong Palace, she suddenly thought of the well that Li Shou had mentioned to her and showed her.

She paused, turned on her toes, and walked quickly out of the courtyard of Taiyong Palace.

Chang'an didn't understand what was going on, so he just hurried along.

Arriving at the courtyard, Meng Shisan slowly approached the well. Chang'an also slowly frowned after seeing the well.

"This well is very dark." Chang'an just stood by the well and did not deliberately explore into the well, but she could feel a cool mist blowing straight towards her face.

"The last time your highness brought me to see it, I discovered that this well was unusual." But at that time, even though Meng Shisan had heard that Li Shou was almost led to the bottom of the well and drowned in his dream in the middle of the night when he was a child, she only had the thought that there was something wrong with the well and that this problem needed to be solved.

And this thought is just a thought.

After all, in her mind, Li Shou was once lured into drowning in this well by a dream. Although the process was thrilling, the result was unsuccessful. After that, Li Shou was aware enough of the danger of the well and started to protect himself. He never encountered any related dangers because of the well again. So she could put it aside for now and deal with it when she had time.

However, tonight, at this moment, her thoughts changed and the idea became reality.

The water snake is hers, and hers will never be bullied by anyone.

No one can.

Changan asked, "Then do you want me to go down and take a look?"

Meng Shisan shook his head: "This well is Yin, and your body is a locust tree, which is also Yin. The situation in the well is unclear, and it is unknown whether your strength is high or low. You go down and rely on the fact that you are both Yin, so it should be easy to blend in, but whether you can suppress it is not certain. In this case, it will not be that easy for you to come out later."

But she was just a mortal, and even though she had a demonic soul, she was not sure she could pull Chang'an out of the well in this situation.

She doesn't do anything completely risky.

Chang'an didn't ask any more questions. She had been with Meng Shisan for a long time. If there was anyone who knew her master best, it must be her.

Therefore, she did not ask any more questions, but waited quietly for her master's arrangements.
