The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 891 Vitality

My grandfather and eldest uncle never consulted my father on important matters.

Under such circumstances, when her grandfather, eldest uncle, and father saw her high fever, the subtle abnormalities on their faces must be interconnected, and their abnormalities with her father must be related.

When Old Madam Meng learned that Huang Jing had returned with Lan Zhijin, she told Shang Chun to run back to Taichen Courtyard to save Meng Shisan as soon as possible. She and the Shang and Wu families who were with her also rushed to Taichen Courtyard.

Upon hearing the news, Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhinian, who were in the study of Changchun Courtyard, also rushed to Taichen Courtyard.

Silver Fox was ordered to eavesdrop in Meng Tianguan's study. When the servants of Changchun Courtyard went to report to the study, it jumped onto the roof tiles above the study and hid. When Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu strode away from the study, it also jumped over one roof tile after another and returned to Meng Shisan's bedroom before them.

When Meng Meijing saw Silver Fox return, her eyes reddened as she looked at him again and again. She wanted to go closer and ask Silver Fox where he had been, but she was too afraid. While she was hesitating, she saw Silver Fox come to the windowsill.

She followed the silver fox's gaze to the open windowsill, but saw nothing: "What are you looking at, Little Silver?"

She asked about good fortune.

Jixiang didn't know either, so she shook her head.

Meng Shisan sat on the couch by the window, listening intently to the snippets of conversation that Silver Fox had overheard: "Ten years ago, Zeng Shi, your birth mother, often had high fevers when she had delirium. When she had a high fever, she would sometimes fall into a coma, sometimes talk nonsense, and even worse, sometimes she would go to the courtyard to sing and dance, like a demon."

"So, my grandfather and uncle suspect that my high fever after being poisoned is very likely the same as the high fever my mother suffered from hypochondria back then...?" Meng Shisan asked.

Silver Fox said, "They are not sure, they just feel that you are very similar. They even suspect that it is because you and Zeng have the same bloodline that you have inherited it."

“Nonsense,” Meng Shisan retorted. “My mother gave birth to me long before she developed dementia. I’m already five years old. How could she have inherited the bloodline of madness?”

"I don't know, but that's what they say." The silver fox sat upright, its eyes fixed straight ahead, letting Meng Meijing and Jixiang stare at it, studying its conversation with the windowsill.

"...Little Silver keeps talking to the windowsill, what is it saying?" Meng Meijing bent down and stared at the silver fox more closely.

"I don't understand." Jixiang had no idea what fox language was.

The silver fox turned its face and gave the presumptuous Meng Meijing a faint glance.

Meng Shisan pondered the old story that Silver Fox had overheard. This matter was indeed a secret that needed to be kept confidential. This secret showed that her father also knew some things. Even if it was not comprehensive and he didn't know more than her grandfather and uncle, because her father and mother were husband and wife, even if they were not on good terms, living in the same courtyard, they would know more than outsiders.

If she wanted to know more details about this secret, she could ask her grandfather or her uncle, or if she didn't ask either, she could only ask her father, who only knew how to have fun all day long.

She felt it was difficult to ask her grandfather and eldest uncle, but she could probe her father to get some useful information before revisiting the matter of Zeng's death.

With permission granted, Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin worked together in the house to reduce Meng Shisan's fever using medical techniques and spells. Everyone else left the house and waited in the courtyard.

Apart from Yu Minglu, the remaining imperial physicians felt there was no need for them to stay any longer, but since they were ordered by Li Shou and Meng Shisan had not yet recovered from his fever, they could not leave. However, standing there in the courtyard, they were truly hesitant to face Meng Tianguan directly.

Meng Tianguan looked serious, as if he were facing not the life or death of the eldest daughter of the Meng family, but the rise and fall of the entire Great Wei. This made them not even dare to raise their hands to wipe away the cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.

The pressure is immense.

Yu Minglu was completely focused on Meng Shisan's safety, his eyes and heart filled with worry for Meng Shisan. His worry was so obvious that anyone who saw him would think he was Meng Shisan's future son-in-law.

While waiting anxiously, Meng Meijing glanced at Yu Minglu's handsome face and had this feeling. She was stunned for a moment, then slowly withdrew her gaze and focused it on the door of her elder sister's bedroom. She didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart.

At that moment, for a fleeting instant, she suddenly felt that if her elder sister didn't marry into the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess, then marrying into the Yu family and becoming Yu Minglu's wife wouldn't be so bad.

At least, after marriage, the eldest sister would not have to worry about life or death, nor would she have to worry about the various troubles and accidents that might come from the Eastern Palace at any time. She would also not have to shield herself from a cold arrow that came from the sky while traveling, and then get poisoned, develop a high fever, and be in critical condition.

With Meng Tianguan, Old Madam Meng, and Meng Zhidu present, Meng Zhinian was as obedient as a little white rabbit, while Shang Shi and Wu Shi also stayed quietly.

Meng Meijing's eyes kept darting around, from Yu Minglu to the other physicians. She silently wondered to herself how these physicians, who were usually so skilled, could be so helpless when her elder sister had a high fever.

Were all those miraculous cures she had heard about in the past just exaggerations?
Then she remembered that at the beginning of the year she had pushed her elder sister into the lake. After her elder sister was rescued, she also developed a high fever. At that time, let alone the imperial physician, no ordinary doctor was consulted, but her elder sister recovered.

It can be considered... a spontaneous recovery without medication.

In comparison, the incompetence of these physicians is all the more apparent.

However, after that fall into the water and fell seriously ill, my eldest sister became different, as if she were a completely different person.

Could it be that... because she healed herself without seeking medical treatment, she has left behind considerable aftereffects, which is why my elder sister's temper and personality have changed so drastically?

Meng Meijing suddenly realized that this was the main reason why Meng Shisan became unrecognizable to the entire household after turning fifteen.

When Camellia returned to the Meng residence, she naturally transformed back into a potted plant of the Eighteen Scholars, sitting peacefully and quietly in the courtyard, accompanied by the grass carp in the water tank, quietly observing the words and actions of everyone outside the house.

When the camellia leaves trembled and the flowers swayed upon seeing Meng Meijing's unmistakably obvious expression, a thud was heard from the side.

The grass carp jumped up in the tank, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, and then fell back into the water in an instant, making a sound that was neither too loud nor too soft.

This caused everyone in the courtyard, who were already on edge, to turn their heads and glance at the water vat.

"Sister can raise even a simple little fish with such vitality, so she herself will be even more safe." Meng Meijing didn't see the grass carp, she only caught a glimpse of its fall and a few splashes of water in the tank. Seeing this, she couldn't help but blurt out.
