The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 867 Need to be reminded

"It's not too early. The New Year is almost over. Once the New Year is over, the Lantern Festival will also be here." That's enough to enjoy the spring.

Meng Shisan knew what Shangchun wanted to say, but did not respond.

It was Jin Yin who took over the conversation and said, "Aunt Shangchun is right! Miss, after the Lantern Festival next year, the candidate for the Crown Princess will be chosen. This matter will come in the blink of an eye!"

It's just a blink of an eye. Meng Shisan is a little sleepy now. She lies down on the bed. Shangchun covers her with a quilt gently and tucks it in. She raises her lips and says, "It's useless to think too much. I'm going to sleep. Don't stay up too late."

She rested, but they had to finish today's work before they could rest.

Shangchun and Jinyin looked at each other: Young lady is really not worried at all, but the eldest master and the people around them are worried every day.

On the second day, Meng Renping went directly from the Meng Mansion to Li Shou's private residence. After seeing Shi Que recover from his illness and being treated by Yu Minglu, he took advantage of the opportunity when Shi Que was awake in a short period of time so that he could ask for the evidence that Shi Que had hidden.

In the Zhanshi Mansion, Meng Renping did not report for work on time, and Zhanshi Huo also received Li Shou's order, which was brought into the Zhanshi Mansion by Chang Qing and conveyed to Zhanshi Huo, informing Meng Renping to do the job assigned by Li Shou outside the palace.

At this point, Junior Secretary Qu was very emotional: "It must be that we have more evidence to hold the Second Prince accountable!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has County Magistrate Shi in his private residence. Imperial Physician Gao has been going back and forth many times to treat him. Now Your Highness has even sent Prime Minister Meng there. I'm sure what you think is similar." As the head of the Zhanshi Mansion and a subordinate of the Eastern Palace, Li Shou would not hide many things from him. He could know a lot of things without going through Li Shou.

"I heard that Imperial Physician Gao has been consulting with the Central Palace since yesterday. He and Court Judge Xiang are both troubled by the Empress's headache." Junior Secretary Qu is well-informed and is one of the most senior officials in the House of Secretaries. "I just came back from outside. I heard that Imperial Physician Gao was unable to leave the palace, and His Highness sent Imperial Physician Yu's son Yu Minglu to go. He has been in His Highness's private residence since yesterday."

Huo Zhanshi raised his head from his official documents and said, "Little Imperial Doctor Yu's medical skills are the same as Imperial Doctor Yu's. Although his medical skills are better than his master's, he is good at recuperation. Imperial Doctor Gao is good at diagnosing and treating various difficult and complicated diseases. Imperial Doctor Gao is stuck in the palace, and Your Highness asked Little Imperial Doctor Yu to replace Imperial Doctor Gao in Your Highness's private residence. Could it be that County Magistrate Shi's serious condition has improved?"

Speaking of Shi Que's strange illness, Junior Secretary Qu approached the official desk, half bent over, lowered his head and whispered to Secretary Huo, "I heard he's recovered."

"Okay?" Huo Zhanshi was surprised and happy. He put down his pen and stood up. He looked directly at Qu Shao Zhanshi and asked for further confirmation, "Where did you hear this news?"

Junior Secretary Qu stood up from Secretary Huo's surprise, and he also stood up straight. At this moment, he replied calmly: "County Magistrate Shi has a daughter who has been living in the Lu Mansion for some years. Since Your Highness brought County Magistrate Shi back to the capital for treatment, Miss Shi also followed him into Your Highness's private residence to take care of County Magistrate Shi and fulfill her filial duty..."

"Get to the point!" Huo Zhanshi was impatient to listen to the previous introduction.

Shao Zhanshi Qu frowned, "That's the point! Miss Shi is the most intuitive person to know whether Magistrate Shi is good or not. A few days ago, Magistrate Shi's condition has not improved much under the treatment of Imperial Doctor Gao. Every time Miss Shi goes out, it is always dark clouds."

He didn't say anything more after that.

Huo Zhanshi understood the situation and said, "You asked someone to keep an eye on the daughter of the palace... County Magistrate Shi?"

Looking at the current East Palace, he really doesn't want the official hat. They are all colleagues and get along very well. They have taken care of each other for many years. He can't harm Qu Shao Zhanshi, so he quickly changed his statement halfway.

"Yeah." Qu Shaozhanshi looked towards the door of the office. There was no outsider outside the room at this time. The only ones who were there were their trusted followers, who were all their own people and would not be a problem. There were only Shangfeng and him in the room, so they would not be a problem at all.

"Is Miss Shi very happy?" Huo Zhanshi thought to himself, but he still asked another question. Qu Shao Zhanshi nodded: "More than happy!"

When Magistrate Shi's daughter went out, she smiled so happily that those who didn't know her would think that Shi Lianchun was going to marry into a wealthy family.

"You are a little young after all." Huo Zhanshi sighed, "You..."

"I know." Junior Secretary Qu was also a minister of the Eastern Palace, and the second in command of the Secretary's Office. He could certainly think of what Secretary Huo could think of, "I have asked my people to secretly remind Miss Shi."

"That's good." Huo Zhanshi breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in the armchair and continued writing.

After being reminded by the person sent by District Shao Zhanshi, Shi Lianchun quickly put away the bright smile on her face. She knew that she was showing her joy too much and people would notice something. She also knew the importance of her father and how dangerous he was. She was very panicked when she first reacted. She didn't buy anything, and the master and servant hurried back to Li Shou's private residence.

As soon as she entered the private residence, she went straight to Feng Zheng and told him what had happened.

Feng Zheng heard this and asked, "Are you talking about Mr. Qu from the Zhanshi Mansion?"

"Yes!" Shi Lianchun stood under the veranda, looking worried.

"Don't worry, Miss Shi. I will let Xiao Huai pass a message to you." Feng Zheng couldn't make the decision herself. Although the Zhanshi Mansion belonged to the Eastern Palace, people's hearts were fickle and there was no doubt that there were spies in the Zhanshi Mansion. She decided to pass a message to her young lady and ask for her instructions.

Shi Lianchun also thought so: "Okay, if Yaoyao replies, you must let me know as soon as possible."

The kite agreed and turned around to find the locust bird to deliver the message.

Meng Shisan received the letter from Huai Niao when she was on her way to the Qingming Hall in the front courtyard. Huai Niao landed on her shoulder. She took the note and spread it out to read. After reading it, she told Tong Yu who was following her: "Go to His Highness's private residence and tell him that there is nothing wrong."

She had heard from her eldest cousin about Shao Zhanshi Qu, who, like Zhanshi Huo, was a loyal subject to His Highness.

She had to ask Huai Niao to take the letter back and prepare pen and ink to write a note. She was not in the yard at the moment, and it would be troublesome to go back and write, so she simply asked Tongyu to make the trip.

He added: "Also, go meet Master Ji and tell him... Well, forget it."

Originally, she wanted Tongyu to convey her meaning to Ji Kuan, explaining that she and Yu Minglu had nothing to do with each other, and that there would never be any relationship in the past, present or future, and asked Ji Kuan not to make things difficult for Yu Minglu. However, she changed her mind and thought that if Ji Kuan did not think wrongly about such words, it would be fine. If he did, the consequences might be even more serious.

So I gave up.

"Yes." Tong Yu accepted the order.

Meng Shisan continued to walk towards Qingmingtang, while Tong Yu turned around and left the house to do some business.

A moment later, in Qingming Hall in the front yard, Meng Shisan met Xi Yan'ai, whom he hadn't seen for some time.
