The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 882 Don't be

So he said, “Miss Huang, there is no need to be afraid of His Highness. His Highness is the most benevolent person and will never harm the innocent.”

Huang Jing looked Ji Kuan, who was riding a tall horse outside the carriage window, up and down, until Ji Kuan looked at her with a face full of doubt. Then she slowly said, "Young Master Ji, you have been beaten quite a bit because of His Highness the Crown Prince, haven't you?"

Because of His Highness, whatever the reason, Ji Kuan and Meng Renping had indeed been beaten a lot since childhood, but this was not the same: "This is different."

His resolute words only elicited a laugh from Huang Jing: "What's the difference? Aren't they all just physical pain?"

If that's the case, then it's true that no matter what the reason for the beating, it was the sticks that hit him and Chi Nan. But Ji Kuan still wanted to refute it, but Huang Jing didn't give him a chance at all and suddenly lowered the carriage curtain.

It was clear that the conversation was over.

Ji Kuan touched the bridge of his nose, feeling that he had really asked for trouble.

Clop clop clop, he rode his horse back to the front of the carriage and continued to lead the way.

Huang Jing heard the sound of horses' hooves and went forward. She then said softly to Tong Yu, "I have never been to the palace before. Today, because of Yao Yao, I entered the palace and even the East Palace where the Crown Prince of Wei resides. But I found it meaningless."

Tong Yu had no interest in speaking and looked at the unconscious Meng Shisan with a worried expression.

But it doesn't matter. Huang Jing has always traveled alone and is used to living alone. She has even learned the skill of talking to herself. Tong Yu didn't respond, but that didn't stop her from continuing: "Once Yao Yao's fever subsides and she wakes up, I will definitely have a good talk with her. It's better not to be the mistress of the Eastern Palace."

Her gaze fell on Meng Shisan's tightly bandaged right hand, and she added, "Whether he'll come out unscathed is unknown, but a grim outcome is probably a common occurrence."

Upon hearing that things looked grim, Tongyu became displeased: "Miss Huang, please be careful with your words. My young lady is a person of great fortune. No matter what the future holds, she will surely be safe and sound."

“…Yes.” Huang Jing felt that it was wise to refrain from arguing appropriately. Besides, what Tongyu said wasn’t entirely wrong. It was a bit off-topic, but who was Meng Shisan? Who knew that, as Tongyu said, he might have good fortune in the future?

In this life, we can only plan, but fate will decide; nothing is certain.

Ji Kuan escorted Meng Shisan and Huang Jing back to the Meng residence. Without lingering, he personally explained to Old Madam Meng and Madam Shang the reasons for Meng Shisan's poisoning and high fever before quickly leaving the Meng residence to return to the palace to report.

After listening to Ji Kuan's account of the assassination attempt on Li Shou at the banquet hosted by Li Zhaoqin, Old Madam Meng remained silent, while Madam Shang sighed deeply at Li Shou's many misfortunes and Meng Shisan's unwarranted involvement in the calamity.

She sat with Old Madam Meng in the main room: "Yaoyao was poisoned, and after the poison was neutralized, she developed a high fever. Although there is a solution now, I feel... I feel uneasy about this solution!"

It wasn't that she didn't trust Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin's medical skills and magic. After all, even someone like Shi Ju, whose body was already half-lying in a coffin, could be forcibly brought back to life by the two of them, which showed that the two were very capable. She felt uneasy, an inexplicable unease.

This kind of panic only makes people more anxious.

Grandma Meng stood up: "Come on, let's go take a look."

"Daughter-in-law, help me up." Madam Shang immediately stepped forward to support her mother-in-law.

As soon as Ji Kuan left, Huang Jing quickly followed him out of the mansion and headed to the small inn to find Lan Zhijin to rescue Meng Shisan. Meng Shisan was being taken care of by Shang Chun, and although Chang'an and Fengzheng were not there, so far, it was indeed as Ji Kuan had told Old Madam Meng and Madam Shang: Meng Shisan had fallen into a coma due to a high fever and had no other symptoms.

Old Madam Meng sat on the embroidered stool in front of the bed, holding Meng Shisan's burning hot hand with a worried expression. The longer she held it, the more her heart ached, and she even began to waver in her decision to let her eldest granddaughter enter the Eastern Palace.

Madam Shang was unaware of what Old Madam Meng was thinking, but judging from the worry on her mother-in-law's face, she knew without asking what her mother-in-law was worried about. So she said, "Yaoyao is very fortunate, Mother, there is no need to worry. Once Miss Huang invites Master Lan back, he will treat Yaoyao with his medical skills and magic, and Yaoyao will be fine."

Grandma Meng still frowned deeply: "Yaoyao has a weak constitution and has been sick all the time since she was little. She was neglected for so many years. She finally grew up to be this big and has reached marriageable age. Her health has improved a lot after being cared for. But look at her little face. She can't even stay rosy for more than a few days before she suffers from all sorts of misfortunes."

When the topic of his many misfortunes came up, the Shang family fell silent.

It's true that it's been plagued by disasters and hardships.

My niece was attacked and assassinated at night, but she managed to escape. The kite beside her was seriously injured. Now, my niece has been poisoned and has developed a high fever while trying to save His Highness the Crown Prince. Any woman would be terrified and have nightmares every night if she encountered these events.

Despite her petite and exquisite appearance, and her celestial beauty, the eldest niece possessed a temperament and courage comparable to Mount Tai. Not only was she never afraid, but she also schemed for His Highness the Crown Prince in every way.

In her opinion, her eldest niece's very qualities alone are enough to make her the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace.

However, the mother-in-law's worries were justified. Her eldest niece had suffered so many misfortunes. Even if she were to marry into the Eastern Palace next year as they wished, if she were to lose her life at any moment, then her efforts to become the Crown Princess would only result in another short-lived Meng family girl.

It has little practical use.

Shangchun listened and waited on the side. As the head of the four Shang who had served in the main room, she knew Old Madam Meng very well. She could understand the deeper meaning of Old Madam Meng's words.

The old lady's current state is simply that she has seen her sickly young lady suffer too much hardship in the struggle for the throne, which has shaken her original idea of ​​making her the crown princess and then the empress.

As for whether this wavering would lead the old lady to completely abandon the idea, she felt it was unlikely.

Throughout her life, the old lady has always prioritized her family and the greater good. Even if she wavers because of the suffering her daughter is experiencing now, it will only be for a moment, at most a brief instant.

Once the young lady's fever subsides and she is safe and sound, the old lady's wavering will vanish without a trace.

At least according to Shang Shi's understanding of the First Madam's past actions, perhaps the First Madam did have pity and heartache for the young lady, but that was all.

Like the master, the eldest master's lifelong ambition was for the glory of the Meng family. They both wanted their daughter to become the second female empress of the Meng family after the late Empress Meng. The old lady might have her own ideas, but the eldest wife always followed her husband's lead.

Shang Chun withdrew her gaze from Old Madam Meng's skirt and turned it to Meng Shisan's face, which was flushed red from the fever.

In her view, the young lady's belief that it is better to rely on oneself than on others is the right path.
