The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 830 Borrowing Tea

So, following Cui Yu's carrier pigeon letter, his men also chased out of the city gate.

Pei Yan died at the hands of Meng Shisan, Shi Mo died at the hands of Cui Yu, and the person Li Heng sent this time was the one transferred to him by Empress Lu. Her name was Yan He, and she was a female guard.

Queen Lu felt that when dealing with a monk like Lan Zhijin, the most difficult part was the desire for women.

At the beginning, she went to Li Heng's palace, originally wanting to persuade Li Heng to stop and stop fighting with Li Shou. However, she failed to persuade Li Heng, but was persuaded by Li Heng in the end.

The reason is that if Li Heng can win half a step under Li Shou's siege, even if he doesn't win completely, he can find a way to survive. On the contrary, if he loses completely, not only will he be deprived of the honor of being a prince, but he will also be dead.

Hearing that there was no body left, Empress Lu still thought of Emperor Zong, but Li Heng asked, "Does your mother really think that your father is really protecting you, my son?"

Empress Lu said: "Although you are ranked after the Crown Prince, in your father's eyes, you are also his flesh and blood..."

"Mother!" Li Heng interrupted Empress Lu's unclear words with a high-pitched voice. Seeing Empress Lu's surprised expression after being interrupted, he softened his voice and said, "Mother, please stop deceiving yourself."

"You know..."

"My son, I know."

Empress Lu's eyes were filled with tears: "You already knew it! Why do you still have to go against the prince!"

"I just don't accept it! I just want to fight for my honor!" Li Heng's eyes were red. As the second prince who was born a concubine first and then a legitimate prince, except that he was not as good as Li Shou who was born as the son of the Empress, he believed that he was better than Li Shou in every way!
This quarrel allowed Queen Lu to hear Li Heng's true words, and also made her realize that if Li Heng lost this fight, he would be completely defeated.

As a mother, how could she bear to watch her own flesh and blood turn into a pile of bones in the yellow sand?

As for Yan He, she was a maidservant found by her father when she was still a daughter of the Lu family and was still unmarried. She was loyal and reliable, had great fighting skills, and most importantly, had an extraordinary appearance.

She thought and calculated that even if Lan Zhijin was just an ordinary man and a bald monk who had converted to Buddhism and received ordination, as long as Yan He used all his abilities, he would definitely be able to defeat Lan Zhijin.

As long as Blue Ashes is captured, she can be used by her son.

By then, with the full help of powerful wizards, anything that cannot be obtained by intellectual means can be easily achieved by using magic.

If everything goes smoothly, and the prince's wishes and plans are fulfilled, even if the prince wants to kill the prince again, it will be in vain, just like the last time when the prince knelt in the imperial study.

Cui Yu sent a letter by carrier pigeon, hoping that Lan Zhijin's ability could help him find out the exact location of his beloved.

Li Heng sent Yan He with the expectations of Queen Lu and himself. They hoped that Yan He could use her beauty to seduce Lan Zhijin, and then use the magic that Lan Zhijin knew to their advantage.

On the second day after Lan Zhijin left Beijing, Zhuo Quan was ordered by Jin Baixi to go to Meng Mansion to convey the news that Cui Yu wanted to pass on to Meng Shisan.

As usual, Zhuo Quan did not enter the mansion, but waited at the gatehouse. Only after Shangchun came out and told him that Meng Shisan already knew about it did he return to Quexian Tower.

Jin Baixi listened to the whole process and asked, "Miss Meng didn't say anything else?"

Zhuo Quan shook his head: "No."

The words were passed to his ears by Shangchun, and he made sure he didn't say anything else.

Jin Baixi went to the back courtyard to report to Cui Yu. Cui Yu didn't say anything and let him leave, leaving him muttering in his heart, "I wonder what Master Seventh and Miss Meng are up to." Meng Shisan didn't know whether Cui Yu had any tricks up her sleeve, but she herself did not have any tricks up her sleeve.

Zhuo Quan said that the three clan leaders of Huashashui had arrived in Beijing safely and stayed at Xiaobai Inn early in the morning. The clan members who followed them were all out, looking for suitable empty houses to buy near the Beijing government.

In this regard, Shangchun wondered whether the three old men wanted to live in the capital for a long time.

Meng Shisan thought otherwise: "The Huashashui tribes have no shortage of money. The gold and silver that others are so excited about are just a pile of stuff in their eyes. Even if they are only here for a while and are not comfortable living in the inn, it is reasonable for them to want to buy a mansion to make themselves more comfortable. Besides..."

She paused and said, "I think the ones who want to buy the mansion are not the three clan leaders, but the younger generations of the clan who followed the three clan leaders."

"That was the joint decision made by Master Hua, Master Sha and Master Shui." Shangchun quickly thought of the news conveyed by Zhuo Quanlai, that these three were sons who accompanied the old men to Beijing.

Meng Shisan said nothing more. After a while, he asked Meng Renji, "Did your second brother send any letters?"

Shangchun replied, "The letter from home hasn't arrived yet this month."

Every month, Meng Renji would send a letter from Lingnan back to the capital to report his safety. The contents of the letter were similar, all describing some customs or interesting things in Lingnan.

They were all dictated by Meng Renji and written down by Chu Cun and sent out.

At this time, a locust bird flew from a tree in the courtyard into Mingxiao Hall, landed on the table in front of Meng Shisan, flapped its wings and chirped at Meng Shisan.

Shangchun heard chirping, but Meng Shisan heard the locust bird recommending itself: "You want to go to Lingnan?"

The locust bird chirped again.

Meng Shisan pondered and said, "Wait a few more days. If the letter from my second brother still hasn't arrived, I'll let you fly to Lingnan again. Enjoy the spring. Remember to remind me when the time comes."

"Promise." Shangchun remembered it.

The locust bird failed to obtain permission to fly out immediately, and it flapped its wings slightly dejectedly and returned to the treetops in the yard, standing there bored.

Seeing this, Meng Shisan smiled.

Huang Jing walked into Ming Xiao Tang holding Shan Cha and saw this scene: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Meng Shisan saw the potted plant in Huang Jing's hand, and its branches, leaves and flowers were all a little droopy. "The Eighteenth Scholar is already a free man, so don't bother with it."

When the camellia heard Meng Shisan speaking for it, the drooping flowers immediately stood up and swayed along with the leaves, protesting loudly to Huang Jing.

Although it was silent, Huang Jing still sensed Shancha's anger, but she pretended not to see it. She held Shancha in her arms and sat down opposite Meng Shisan, pointing at the potted plant and said, "I want to borrow it from you."

"What do you want to do?" He could borrow it, but Meng Shisan had to ask where he was going first.

Huang Jing also confessed: "I need it to go into the water to help me fish something out. Originally, I thought if the water snake was fully recovered, I would borrow it from you, but you also said that the water snake still needs to rest, so I have to wait a while, but I can't wait any longer, I have to fish something out today."
