The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 845 Thorough Investigation III

At this moment, he re-examined himself and also re-examined his eldest cousin from his mother's family who was the apple of his eye.

She always seemed to be beyond his expectations, and always seemed to bring him new surprises and puzzles.

She was like a treasure. The more she was explored, the more brilliant and complex she became. The more he felt that she was very suitable for the position of Crown Princess.

She is bold, resolute and tenacious, she is brave and forward-looking, she is both literary and martial, she is as quiet as a virgin and as swift as a rabbit, she has endless upward vitality, she regards difficulties and obstacles as nothing, and she walks on thorns as if they were flat ground.

With her like this, in the whole Wei Dynasty, there is no one more suitable than her to enter the East Palace, to become his wife, to become the mistress of the East Palace, and to become the future empress of the Wei Dynasty.

"Go and get Fu Feng back." Li Shouling said.

Chang Qing, who was waiting on the side, agreed.

Before lighting the lanterns on the same day, Ji Kuan received an order from Li Shou to send Bai Zhuo out of the capital to Lingnan to thoroughly investigate the three tribes of Hua, Sha and Shui.

Just before the city gates closed, Bai Zhuo, along with four other guards from the Eastern Palace, rushed to attack the Southern Barbarians along the official road outside the city overnight.

At night, Meng Shisan dreamed of the fourth fragment again, which showed the scene of the girl in the dream being killed by a knife.

She sat up, hugging the quilt. Her body still had the lingering feeling of the girl in her dream being stabbed in the heart, the blade passing through her chest, and feeling as cold as frost.

"Miss, are you having a nightmare?" Jin Yin got up at night and heard the noise in Meng Shisan's bedroom. She pushed the door open and walked in quietly. While lighting the lamp on the table to make it brighter, she asked softly.

Meng Shisan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded slightly: "It was a nightmare."

She had suffered this kind of knife wound before, but in this dream, what she felt most clearly was the despair of the girl in the dream when she was killed.

The despair seemed like endless darkness, sweeping over her mercilessly.

Jin Yin poured a cup of warm water to the bedside: "Miss, have a drink of water."

Meng Shisan took the cup and took a sip, then another sip, and then another sip. After three gulps of warm water, the bone-chilling coldness slowly eased. "I have nothing to do. I'll fall asleep after sitting for a while. You don't have to stay with me."

"Yes." Jin Yin took the cup, put it back on the table, left the room, and went back to the next room to sleep.

Hearing the sound of Jin Yin closing the door, Meng Shisan did not go back to sleep. She stretched her legs and got out of bed. Without wearing shoes or socks, she stepped onto the bed barefoot by the window and climbed onto it.

As the New Year approaches, the weather is getting colder day by day, and it is even colder at night.

She half leaned against the large pillow, and after adjusting it twice for comfort, she finally leaned against it as if she were weak and boneless.

The night wind was howling. She did not open the windowsill completely, but only pushed the window frame open a little bit. Through the small gap, she looked at the corner of the yard outside the window.

It was dark and filled with an unknown turbidity.

There was a sound of water coming from the water tank in the yard. The grass carp jumped up and fell back into the water. Then a green light flew out of the water tank and headed straight for the windowsill.

Meng Shisan watched without moving or saying a word.

The green light passed through the small gap and landed on the table on the Arhat couch in the room, turning into a small green snake as long as an arm.

The water snake spit out its tongue and asked with a hissing sound, "What are you worried about, senior?"

"How are you?" Meng Shisan did not answer, but asked about the water snake's injury. The water snake nodded its head: "Almost. If you have anything to ask, you can tell me to do it."

Meng Shisan thought of Huang Jing: "A Jing said that when you recover, she wants to ask you for a favor."

"Looking for something in the Kuang Guang River? I know." Huang Jing went to the water tank and talked to the water snake, "But if the senior has any instructions, I will take care of the senior's business."

"I don't have anything urgent to do..." Meng Shisan thought about the fourth fragment. "I just wanted to let Cui Yu slowly find out the identity of the female corpse in the forest mound behind the Taoist temple, but now it seems that it is impossible."

"Then I'll go check it out?" The grave of the female corpse in the tomb mound was found by the water snake on the Qingbei Mountain under the order of Meng Shisan, so it was familiar with it.

"No hurry, help A Jing find the item first, then come and help me find it." Meng Shisan said, and at the same time, he was also concerned about Li Shou's safety in the palace, so he asked the water snake, "How did you encounter and be tricked by the ghost in the well of Taiyong Hall in the East Palace?"

Mentioning this, the water snake felt embarrassed: "It was all because of my carelessness. I thought the demon turned into a girl, but it was just a small demon, so I didn't take it seriously. Who knew..."

"Who would have thought that I almost killed your demon." Meng Shisan continued, "I killed the demon with my sickle. Now there is nothing in the well, so there is no danger. However, there is no guarantee that someone will raise other dangerous creatures in it... Do you have anyone who can enter the palace to protect His Highness?"

"Senior, do you mean that the demon was raised by humans?" The water snake asked in disbelief. After Meng Shisan nodded, it pondered and said, "A demon is so powerful... Although I was careless at first, the demon is indeed powerful. Apart from me, who else do you want to send to the palace to protect the Crown Prince? That person must be very powerful, this..."

It couldn't think of anyone who could do the job.

Meng Shisan heard the pause in Shui She's voice and said, "Ever since I rescued you from the palace, I have been thinking about this matter. Until now, I still can't think of a suitable candidate. How about..."

Before she finished her words, the water snake was already shaking its head like a rattle.

"You don't want to?"

“…It’s too boring.”

The water snake coiled itself into a ball, with its head banging against its tail, and it expressed its reluctance in a muffled voice.

After chatting with the water snake for more than two quarters of an hour, Meng Shisan felt a little sleepy, so she let the water snake go back to the water tank to sleep, and she also wanted to go back to the bed to continue her dream.

Just before flying out of the small gap in the windowsill, the water snake was very curious about the sickle that Meng Shisan used to kill the demon, and asked if it could admire it.

Meng Shisan shook his head: "No."

The rejected water snake pulled its head back to the bottom of the water tank and coiled up. She went back to her bed and had no dreams that night.

Bai Zhuo was sent out of the capital, and Ji Kuan went to the Zhanshi Mansion to inform Meng Renping the next day.

Meng Renping was puzzled: "Why go to Lingnan? Although Lingnan is a barbarian land, it has been guarded by General Qiao for a long time and has always been peaceful... Is it related to the three old masters from Lingnan who just came to Beijing for consultation?"

He was a beat slower and thought of the three patriarchs of Hua, Sha and Shui.

In response to this, Ji Kuan looked as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Meng Renping crossed his arms and said, "You came to tell me about this matter. Does His Highness know about it?"

"Of course I know." Ji Kuan has been with Li Shou for many years. Even if he leaves, it won't be for too long. Temporary absences like this happen all the time. "... Well, I told you to stay calm."

Then he recounted to Meng Renping how the patriarchs and six heads of the three major clans in Lingnan all knelt down and kowtowed before Meng Shisan.

After hearing this, Meng Renping, like Li Shouchu, was speechless for a long time.
