The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 886 Other Symptoms

As he finished speaking, he felt a breeze brushing his face.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the handsome young man who called himself Xiao Cha had vanished without a trace, just like the smiling older sister.

Xiaoman blinked, then blinked again: "...They run so fast too."

After failing to find Lan Zhijin at the small inn, Huang Jing naturally went out to look for him. However, not to mention the entire capital, even just Manjiangfang alone would have been enough for her to search for a whole day and night, and she might not even be able to find every corner of Manjiangfang.

Of course, as a celestial master, there are also techniques for finding people.

This technique requires a personal item belonging to the person being sought.

As Lan Zhijin's childhood friend, she thought about it for a while and finally took out an old, dark gray money pouch from her pocket. It was the one he had stuffed into her hand when they last met, afraid that she would not have any money to spend.

She had long since spent all the loose silver in the black and gray purse, and she stuffed the empty purse into her sleeve pocket, intending to return it to him when they met again.

Unexpectedly, today she has become the medium through which she seeks his whereabouts.

Huang Jing used magic through the black and gray money bag to finally determine the location of Lan Zhijin, which was behind Qianfu Street, that is, Houfu Street, and the approximate location was in Li Heng's private residence.

This surprised her somewhat.

Lan Zhijin initially made a deal with Li Heng, but only once. After that, when Li Heng tried to make another deal, Lan Zhijin politely declined. Later, he traveled from the capital to Jinling and then back to the capital. He was also entangled for a period of time by Yan He, a female bodyguard sent by Empress Lu. Lan Zhijin did not fulfill the wishes of Empress Lu and Li Heng.

From now on... there will be no further connection.

Could it be that Li Heng harbored resentment because Lan Zhijin repeatedly refused to continue the deal, and thus, after learning that Yan He had betrayed Empress Lu and fled the capital, he decided to kill Lan Zhijin?
When Huang Jing's mind wandered to this point, he was truly stunned by his own guess.

After calming down and regaining her senses, she turned and ran. It was during this sprint that, as she reached the corner of Houfu Street, she accidentally bumped into Xiaoman, who was carrying a medical kit and walking slowly behind Luo Gui.

After the collision, she forced a smile, apologized hastily, and then ran back to Li Heng's private residence.

When she finally reached Li Heng's private residence, she hesitated to go any further. Panting, she stared at the two large doors, her legs feeling weak and heavy, making it impossible for her to take another step.

She was afraid, afraid that if she pushed open the door and entered the mansion, she would see Blue Ash's corpse.

When traveling, one already disregards half of life and death. As for the other half, she and he always knew that it was simply a matter of doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate. This was the attitude she always had when the clan elders asked her to go to the capital to find the old objects that her Huang clan was looking for in the vast river.

She never cared about her own life.

However, at this moment, in this place and under these circumstances, she realized that she absolutely refused to apply this formula to Lan Zhijin.

She wanted him to live, she wanted him to be safe and sound, and she also wanted to fight him again for another three hundred rounds whenever they disagreed.

"I haven't encountered anything like this before..." Huang Jing murmured, staring blankly at the mansion gate in front of him. "I didn't know... I didn't know I was such a coward..." The water snake that had transformed into the Green Snake Ring was on Huang Jing's right middle finger. Hearing Huang Jing's self-talk, it transformed into its true form, landed with a whoosh, and swam up the stone steps towards the two tightly closed gates.

As the water snake swam by, it grumbled at Huang Jing's indecisiveness: "Whether the person is here or not, we can find out by going in and taking a look. Why waste time standing outside the gate guessing?"

Meng Shisan's personal freedom was restricted in her bedroom. If her body could not break the high fever and her demon soul could not return to her human body, she could easily imagine her final fate in this state of separation between body and soul. She would probably be buried and locked up by the grave to guard it.

Just thinking about it made her feel terrible.

Lanterns had already been lit in all the corridors of the Meng residence, illuminating the front and back courtyards, but the people inside were all anxious and uneasy.

Even Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu, who were the last to learn of Meng Shisan's condition, both changed their expressions when they returned to their residence after the yamen and went to Meng Shisan's room to see the unconscious Meng Shisan.

After calming himself down, Meng Tianguan went outside and personally asked the imperial physicians who were still discussing the final medical plan: "Gentlemen, what exactly is wrong with my Yaoyao? Besides the persistent high fever, are there any other symptoms?"

As he stepped into Meng Shisan's bedroom, Meng Shisan was unconscious when she was given her second bowl of fever-reducing medicine. Seeing that the prescription had been written and the medicine had been prepared and taken, and that his eldest granddaughter's high fever showed no sign of subsiding, how could a grandfather not be anxious?

As soon as he stepped out of the inner room, he immediately got straight to the point.

Meng Zhidu followed Meng Tianguan to the outer room, also eager to know what was happening to his niece.

While the father and son were in their respective government offices, they received a message from Old Madam Meng, sent by her servants to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. The message described how Meng Shisan had been poisoned by Li Shou's assassination attempt that day and subsequently developed a persistent high fever.

On their way back from their respective government offices to the mansion, they wondered what would happen to Meng Shisan, with his frail body, after suffering two severe blows in one day.

Only when they saw it with their own eyes did they realize that the situation was far more serious than they had each anticipated on their way there.

In other words, when the imperial physicians consulted, they realized that a mere high fever couldn't possibly have lasted this long.

Even if it's a difficult case, after two bowls of herbal medicine, Meng Shisan's fever should subside a bit, at least it won't make her bright little face burn as red and frightening as the lanterns under the eaves outside.

Even though they were laymen who knew nothing about medicine, they could still see something unusual about these symptoms.

Meng Tianguan asked the question so directly because he didn't want to waste time on roundabout ways. Now that his eldest granddaughter was on the verge of death, his biggest concern was that the imperial physicians could find the real illness, prescribe the right medicine, and save his sensible and intelligent eldest granddaughter. That was the most important thing.

Meng Zhidu knew his own father well, so when Meng Tianguan spoke, he knew from his father's words that his father had noticed something strange about his eldest niece's symptoms.

Despite his understanding, he was still so surprised when he first heard it that his mouth gaped open.

He looked at Meng Tianguan, and for a moment, he forgot what he wanted to say.

Not to mention Meng Zhidu, the other five imperial physicians who were sitting around the table with Yu Minglu discussing the medical case, a total of six people, were also startled and raised their heads in unison upon hearing Meng Tianguan's question.

They all raised their heads at the same time and looked at Meng Tianguan, their eyes filled with the same surprise.
