The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 889 Listen carefully

When Meng Zhinian learned that Meng Shisan had developed a high fever and fallen into a coma, which was already in danger of death, it was almost midnight.

Arriving at Meng Shisan's bedroom, he glanced at Meng Shisan in the inner room, and then, like his elder brother, sat down at the table in the outer room. Knowing he was in the wrong, he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Yu Minglu and the other five imperial physicians had come up with a prescription. Meng Shisan had glanced at the prescription when he passed by. Although he didn't understand pharmacology very well, Meng Zhidu asked about the efficacy of the prescription, and Yu Minglu bluntly said that it was a potent medicine.

Upon hearing that it was a potent medicine, Meng Shisan stood rooted to the spot.

Meng Zhidu's face turned slightly pale.

Meng Zhinian finally realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment. His expression, which had been one of fear of his elder brother's scolding, suddenly turned into panic.

Meng Zhidu instructed Meng Zhinian to stay in Meng Shisan's bedroom and not to go anywhere else, and then he left the room.

Meng Zhinian had stood up with his elder brother, but after listening to his brother's instructions, he sat back down on the stool and glanced sideways at the inner room. He couldn't see what was happening inside because of the screen, and he only glanced at it before turning back, his heart pounding.

Meng Shisan floated by the door, watching Meng Zhidu leave. She thought to herself that her uncle had probably gone to see her grandfather. The words "strong medicine" made her uncle's expression change drastically, which showed that her uncle had made a connection to something at that moment.

Her useless and irresponsible father was unaware of this, and her uncle did not intend for him to know either. However, her grandfather knew about it, so when she thought of this, she immediately went to her grandfather to discuss it.

It's a pity she can't leave her room, otherwise she could take advantage of her demon soul's invisible state to follow her uncle to her grandfather's place and find out what secrets they are hiding.

But this is a rare opportunity...

Meng Shisan's eyes darted around, her gaze falling downwards to stare intently at the silver fox standing on either side of the threshold, separated from her by the doorway.

The silver fox seemed to sense something: "???"

"Go and follow my eldest uncle to see if he has gone to see my grandfather. If so, listen carefully to what they are saying and tell me everything when you come back," Meng Shisan instructed.

The silver fox nodded its head, then turned and ran away.

Shangchun saw that the silver fox, who had been guarding the porch outside the door, had run away. Although she didn't know what the silver fox had gone to do, she wasn't curious and just glanced at it before turning back.

Through her teary eyes, Meng Meijing saw and asked Jixiang, "Why did Xiaoyin leave? Is she hungry?"

Jixiang disagreed: "Aunt Shangchun was just fed by Chaiyu during the evening meal, and she ate a whole bucket of meat."

"Didn't the princess say that Xiao Yin was old and about to die? How come she's being cared for by my sister and is not only getting more and more energetic and eating more and more, but she also seems to be living a long life?" Meng Meijing muttered to herself in puzzlement.

"Young Miss is blessed with longevity and good fortune; it must be because Xiao Yin has benefited from her good luck," Jixiang said in a positive light.

Meng Meijing was very pleased: "Yes! Sister is so lucky, the high fever will subside soon, Sister will be fine soon... Sister, sob sob sob..."

As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears and started crying again.

Meng Shisan felt a headache coming on: "Everyone says it's too early to cry."

Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin chased after each other to the city gate. Looking at the city gate, Lan Zhijin continued to chase without hesitation, but she slowed down and tugged at Lan Zhijin's arm.

Blue Ashes turned around: "What are you doing?"

“These two demons are from outside the city,” Huang Jing said.

Lan Zhijin was puzzled: "No matter where the demon comes from, it must be caught." "I know, I mean..." Huang Jing turned around and looked in the direction of the Meng residence.

Lan Zhijin immediately understood: "You're still worried about Miss Meng?"

"How can I not worry about a human life?" Huang Jing turned around and glared at Lan Zhijin. "There are priorities. You should come back to the Meng residence with me first and save Yaoyao."

Lan Zhijin said impatiently, "It's just a high fever. It's fine as long as the imperial physician is here."

"That physician was completely useless."

"You only heard with your own ears that the imperial physician surnamed Gao was helpless against Miss Meng's illness, but before you came out, didn't you also hear that the old lady of the Meng family wanted to take the Heavenly Official's name card to the Imperial Hospital to invite another imperial physician?"

Huang Jing did not deny that she had said this: "What if it doesn't work either? Wouldn't that delay Yao Yao's life?"

“You think the Imperial Medical Academy is too useless.” Lan Zhijin disagreed with Huang Jing’s statement. “We learn magic from elementary school, and they, as medical officers, also learn medicine from elementary school. Even if Imperial Physician Gao is useless, there is an old saying that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. There is no way he could delay Miss Meng’s life.”

Huang Jing remained silent for a while, still not entirely at ease: "No, you should come back to the Meng residence with me first. Once we've confirmed that Yao Yao's high fever has subsided, then we can go out of the city to catch the demon."

Looking at the tightly closed city gate, she said, "Even if we chase them now, we don't know where they've gone."

Lan Zhijin couldn't refute this point. The butterfly demon and wolf demon had escaped through the city wall. If he and she had quickly used magic to pass through the wall and chased after them in time, they would definitely have caught up. However, Huang Jing pulled him like that, and the two of them stood inside the city gate talking for a while. When they chased out of the city gate, they had indeed lost sight of the two demons.

Of course, as demon hunters and exorcists, if there are no demons, fine; but if they discover traces of a demon, even if it escapes, they each have their own methods of tracking it down.

In other words, it's okay not to chase it now, but to chase it tomorrow.

It's just that if you don't seize the opportunity now and try to do it at another time, it will naturally take more time and effort.

But for now, there's nothing that can be done.

"Alright then." Lan Zhijin really couldn't do anything about Huang Jing, his childhood sweetheart, so he could only go along with it.

Huang Jing was very satisfied and let go of Lan Zhijin's sleeve: "Let's go!"

Lan Zhijin looked at his sleeve and his hand, wondering when she would be able to hold onto his hand instead of his sleeve.

Ma Ji, carrying Shan Cha, headed straight for the city gate. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin.

Camellia was delighted and about to go forward to speak when she unexpectedly saw Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin standing inside the city gate talking for a while before turning around and running back.

"This..." Camellia looked at the swift horse, "...they lost them?"

Ma quickly shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then now..."

"Follow."

They had to catch up and see where Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin were going. If they were going back to the Meng residence, they wouldn't need to worry about finding them anymore. If they were going somewhere else, then it would be necessary for Shancha to meet with Huang Jing and bring Lan Zhijin to the Meng residence.

As for the butterfly demon and the wolf demon, we can investigate them further later.
