The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 887 After being severely injured

The six people's surprised expressions made Meng Tianguan's already deep and unfathomable face even more unpredictable.

Among the six, Yu Minglu was the physician who visited the Meng residence most frequently. While the others remained silent, he was the first to ask, "Since Your Excellency asks this, is it because... Miss Meng had other hidden ailments before?"

"...No." Meng Tianguan denied, his answer slightly hesitant before he did.

This hesitation was noticed by everyone outside, including Meng Shisan, whose demonic soul was floating outside of everyone else. They all realized the hidden meaning in Meng Tianguan's words.

Meng Shisan was startled, wondering if the original owner, besides being physically weak since childhood, also suffered from a hidden illness unknown to outsiders.
She involuntarily turned to Meng Zhidu, only to find that Meng Zhidu's face was no longer surprised. It was clear that the surprise on Meng Zhidu's face earlier was because he was astonished that Meng Tianguan would speak so frankly, but now Meng Tianguan's negative answer had no surprise on Meng Zhidu.

In other words, the original owner's body contained risks that even the original owner was unaware of. This was something that Meng Tianguan and his son Meng Zhidu knew, and they kept it a secret together.

Therefore, when her grandfather first mentioned it, her eldest uncle's heart skipped a beat, and surprise was evident on his face. However, when her grandfather denied Yu Minglu's speculation that she had a hidden illness, her eldest uncle was no longer surprised.

After much deliberation, Meng Shisan could probably come to a conclusion: the body she possessed had a secret, a secret that her grandfather and uncle both knew, and her grandmother and aunt most likely knew as well. As for the biological father of this body and Wu Shi, they might not know.

This secret cannot be made public yet.

If that weren't the case, then facing her life-or-death situation, it's impossible that her grandfather would deny Yu Minglu's guess despite having something to hide, and that her eldest uncle, knowing full well, would also choose to stand on her grandfather's side and continue to keep it a secret together.

Yu Minglu wanted to ask more, but the imperial physician beside him secretly tugged at his sleeve, stopping him from speaking again.

He turned to look at the imperial physician who had stopped him. The physician was a close friend of his father. When he turned away, the physician shook his head slightly.

It seems that this physician was either wary of Meng Tianguan's real power, or he knew something about the reason behind it.

Meng Shisan and Yu Minglu, one with a soul and the other with a body, both thought of this at the same time.

Yu Minglu planned to ask Meng Shisan privately, since he couldn't communicate with people in his demon soul form. She decided to find an opportunity to have someone else inquire about it.

The outer room quieted down, and the inner room was also completely silent.

Meng Shisan drifted into the inner room and observed the expressions of Old Madam Meng, Madam Shang, and Madam Wu. Just as she expected, her grandmother and aunt showed no unusual expression, but her stepmother's face was full of doubt.

Clearly, they had heard every word Fang said outside, and their reactions varied accordingly.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..." Faint sobs could be heard coming from outside the window.

She turned toward the windowsill and slowly floated closer.

Looking out from inside, she saw Meng Meijing squatting by the wall of the corridor outside the window, covering her mouth and secretly crying, while Jixiang handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and snot.

She watched and listened, wanting to reach out and touch her younger sister's head, but her hand couldn't even reach the windowsill, let alone go around to touch Meng Meijing's head.

She silently withdrew her hand and sighed, "It's too early to cry."

She's not dead yet.

After sighing, she thought of Meng Renping, Meng Renji, Meng Ren'an, and Meng Renkang, who were not in the manor. If they knew that she was now lying on her bed waiting to die, she wondered if they would cry their hearts out like Meng Meijing.
Generally speaking... well... as the eldest brother and the future pillar of the Meng family, Meng Renping is usually rational. He would be sad, but he wouldn't cry like this.

Meng Renji, perhaps.

As for Meng Ren'an and Meng Renkang, they had only spent a handful of days together, and she couldn't imagine how they would react.

Looking back at the invisible boundary that bound him, Meng Shisan couldn't help but sigh three times: "What sins have I unknowingly committed to deserve this inexplicable life as a half-demon, half-human, where I could lose my life at any moment..."

Yu Minglu's voice came from outside, and then he walked into the inner room. She watched as he took her pulse again, his brows furrowed the whole time. Then he returned to the outer room without a word, and she could hear him talking to the other imperial physicians again.

She floated beside the screen separating the inner and outer rooms, looked around, and couldn't help but want to sigh again, but she held back halfway through the sigh.

Sighing all the time isn't her style.

Her current situation, which seems like a predicament, is also an opportunity for her to understand why she was forced to become Meng Liangchen.

The separation of her human body and demon soul is due to her being poisoned first and then developing a high fever. Could it be that her human body was already weak and sick, and the combination of these two illnesses made her unable to withstand it, thus ejecting her demon soul?
If that's the case, then why is she bound to a person and unable to leave this bedroom?
If that's not the case, then what is the reason?
Meng Shisan silently looked up at the sky, silently cursing the wicked heavens who made random arrangements without explanation a hundred and eight times in his heart.

I had just finished cursing when a thunderclap and lightning struck the night sky.

It startled her.

The demonic spirit immediately drifted ten steps away from the windowsill.

Shang Chun walked closer to the window and looked out at the night sky over the courtyard, and said in surprise, "It's not raining."

Meng Shisan floated back to the windowsill, looked around again, and snorted. It was obvious that the heavens were trying to scare her.

Back in the day, she withstood nine real heavenly lightning strikes without flinching, so this mere sham move won't scare her...

Seeing that no rain was falling while enjoying the spring scenery, I left the windowsill and returned to the house to wait quietly.

Meng Shisan stood by the window, stunned. Thinking of the lightning tribulation she had endured years ago, she remembered that after she had withstood the heavenly lightning and survived the tribulation, she had also experienced a separation of her soul from her body.

At that time... it was her demon soul that was struck by heavenly lightning and separated from her body.

It was because she was struck by lightning and suffered severe internal and external injuries.

Meng Shisan began to ponder the connection between the time she was subjected to the baptism of heavenly lightning, which resulted in the passive separation of her original body and demon soul, and the current situation where her demon soul was passively ejected due to the dual injuries to her human body and demon soul.

After thinking for a long time, the only connection is that they are both souls separated after being severely injured.

Following Xiaoman's directions, Shancha arrived at Houfu Street. As night fell, the number of passersby gradually decreased, and he could see the entire street at a glance, but there was no sign of Huang Jing.

He strolled to Li Heng's private residence, looked around, and, thinking of the many underhanded struggles between Meng Shisan and Li Heng, decided to go inside and take a look.

After all, as far as he knew, Lan Zhijin, the demon hunter of the Lan clan, was revered by the people of the capital as a capable and extraordinary person, and was also a profound mage whom Li Heng had tried to win over but failed to do so.
