The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 862 Hiding Place

"If you can't find it, then you can't find it. What's so strange about that?" Meng Shisan has lived for such a long time and has seen many old things. He knows that old things are hard to come by. "If it was so easy to get, those people in your clan would have come to find it by themselves and fished it out of the Kuang Guang River. Why do they need you to come?"

This convinced Huang Jing: "...You are right."

Those old guys are all very smart and easy to find. They had already been found a long time ago, so it was not her turn to look for them.

The sooner the better, the sooner the better, otherwise things may change.

Since it was decided, Huang Jing did not delay and immediately put the water snake on his body. In the morning, he went to Kuangguang River and started to look for the item in the river.

As soon as Huang Jing and the water snake left the Meng Mansion, Li Shou left the palace in disguise and went straight to the private residence outside the palace. Chang Qing, Ji Kuan and Meng Renping also went with him.

After arriving at the private residence, Li Shou went to visit Shi Que first. He saw with his own eyes that the dark grey look on Shi Que's face was completely gone, and he was sleeping soundly. He walked out of Shi Que's bedroom with peace of mind.

"Lianchun kowtows to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Shi Lianchun did not dare to follow him in. She could only wait outside the house and wait for Li Shou to come out. Then she would kowtow and kneel to express her gratitude.

Although it was not the first time that Li Shou had seen Shi Lianchun, his impression of Shi Lianchun was that besides being the legitimate daughter of Shi Jue, she also had a close relationship with his eldest cousin: "Get up, this time we were able to pull your father back from the brink of death, mainly thanks to Master Huang and Master Lan."

"Lianchun thanks you two." Shi Lianchun stood up and said.
She is not a fool. Huang Jing will save her father because of Meng Shisan. Lan Zhijin will save her father because of Huang Jing. Meng Shisan did not turn a blind eye to her kneeling begging because of the East Palace in front of him. And the crown prince in front of him will do his best to find someone to save her father because her father has evidence of corruption among officials in Fangshan County!

After going through all this, the person she should kneel down to thank the most, apart from the eldest lady of the Meng family, is the person in front of her.

She stood up and stood aside, not daring to make any more noise to disturb him.

Meng Renping and Ji Kuan came out later and followed Li Shou to the main hall in the front yard to sit down.

Steward Lu personally served tea and snacks, and then reported: "We have sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite Imperial Physician Gao, but he was held up by something. The servant who went to notify him came back and said that Imperial Physician Gao would not be here for another quarter of an hour."

"The Empress has had a headache since yesterday, and she asked Doctor Xiang to diagnose her overnight." Meng Renping was in the Zhanshi Mansion, and because it was in the limelight recently, he kept an eye on Li Heng's movements, and even the Empress. So when he entered the Zhanshi Mansion early in the morning, he got the news, "Could it be that Doctor Xiang's diagnosis was not good and he couldn't prescribe the most appropriate prescription, so even Imperial Physician Gao had to go for consultation?"

As he asked, he looked at Butler Lu.

Butler Lu replied: "That has not been mentioned."

"Changqing, go back to the palace and see if what Chi Nan said is true." Apart from serving as regent in Wenhua Palace, Li Shou's remaining attention has been on the matter of overthrowing Li Heng. Although he has also ordered people to keep an eye on Queen Lu, they have not paid attention to such minor details.

Chang Qing agreed and quickly left the private residence and returned to the palace to check.

Li Shou said to Steward Lu, "Send someone to the Imperial Hospital. If Imperial Physician Gao is not here, then ask Bai Ying to come over. I remember he was on duty at the Imperial Hospital this morning."

Steward Lu took the order and sent a servant to the Imperial Hospital to ask for help again.

Yu Minglu was indeed on duty, and when he heard that it was Li Shou who invited him, he put down the medicinal materials he had been sorting, followed the servant sent by Steward Lu to the Imperial Hospital, and soon arrived at Li Shou's private residence.

He bowed: "Your Highness."

Li Shou nodded slightly and said to Ji Kuan, "Take Bai Ying to check the pulse of County Magistrate Shi." From Yu Xiao Taiyi to Yu Minglu, and then to calling him Bai Ying by nickname, it was obvious that Yu Minglu had gained his trust step by step.

This slight change made Meng Renping look deeply at Yu Minglu, the medical officer of the Imperial Hospital who was treating his cousin.

Yu Minglu noticed that Meng Renping was looking at him at this moment. It was different from the previous times when he went to the Meng Mansion to take Meng Shisan's pulse and prescribe medicine, and he would meet him and greet him politely. He turned his head slowly and crossed his arms towards Meng Renping.

Meng Renping stood up and crossed his arms to return the greeting.

Ji Kuan looked at them in confusion as they bowed to each other: "Little Doctor Yu, follow me."

"Okay." Yu Minglu followed Ji Kuan out of the main hall.

He had been to the Crown Prince's private residence outside the palace before, so he was no stranger to it again.

When he entered the main hall of the front yard under the guidance of the servants of the private residence, he looked around and found that the two most popular confidants of the East Palace were there. He immediately realized that Li Shou's invitation must be a big deal.

Although Imperial Physician Yu, who was good at gynecology, was neutral and often went to the harem to recuperate the concubines, his son was very close to the crown prince. Yu Minglu would go wherever the Crown Prince directed him to go. The father and son never deliberately concealed this fact.

The fact that Imperial Physician Dayou Yu was neutral did not prevent Imperial Physician Xiaoyou Yu from joining the Eastern Palace's camp.

Of course, Yu Minglu has not yet truly joined the East Palace camp.

It's just that he has close contacts with Li Shou, and because Meng Shisan is recuperating from his frail health, he goes in and out of the Meng Mansion in the Eastern Palace more frequently, which inevitably makes others feel that he is a member of the Eastern Palace.

And he himself doesn't care at all.

In his own opinion, he does not follow the crowd, nor does he follow his father, he only follows his heart.

He threw his heart into the eldest lady of the Meng family. Even though Miss Meng first understood his hint that Dong Gong was not a good man and told him clearly that she was not afraid, and later Miss Meng received his tactful confession in public and told him directly that she did not like her, even though he was heartbroken at the time, he also knew that from then on, he was destined to be a small ant under the wings of Dong Gong in this life.

For this reason, whether for the safety of Miss Meng or to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of the people, he is willing to go through fire and water and even sacrifice his life.

Jingju was not far from the reception hall in the front yard, and Ji Kuan quickly brought Yu Minglu into Shiqiu's bedroom.

When Shi Lianchun saw Yu Minglu, she was confused at first. But after Ji Kuan gave a brief explanation, she realized that Imperial Physician Gao was stuck with something and Yu Minglu was a medical officer from the Imperial Hospital specially invited by Li Shou. She got up from the embroidered stool beside the bed and stood aside so that Yu Minglu could get close to her father and feel his pulse.

A moment later, Yu Minglu and Ji Kuan returned to the main hall.

Yu Minglu reported to Li Shoufu: "Master Shi is fine now, but he is weak from long-term illness and lacks both Qi and blood. He needs to take good care of himself in the future."

"Is your life no longer in danger?" Li Shou asked.

"There is no need to worry about my life anymore." Yu Minglu answered affirmatively.

"Chi Nan, from now on, you will stay here and make sure to find out where the evidence is hidden." Once Li Shou gets the evidence in Shi Jue's hands, Li Heng's dirty tricks that reached out to the officials in Fangshan County will be exposed. Combined with the other evidence in his hands that has happened in recent days, he doesn't believe that his father can still favor his second brother.
