The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 909 Making a Plan

Meng Tianguan and Old Madam Meng had long felt that there was something strange about the scene where Meng Shisan bravely rescued Li Shou.

However, because Meng Shisan had been poisoned by the cold arrow and then had a persistent high fever, the two elders did not react on the spot. They kept their doubts to themselves and planned to make a decision after Meng Shisan was completely unharmed.

After Meng Shisan was cured of the poison and his high fever subsided, although he was still a little weak, his mental state was very good.

As dusk settled, Yu Minglu finished examining Meng Shisan's pulse, writing out a prescription, and giving Meng Shisan instructions before taking his leave and leaving Mingxiaotang.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to his sweetheart more, but the future was uncertain, and the more he talked, the more entangled he would become. Even though he was already deeply involved and unable to extricate himself, he was even more afraid of making a wrong move and falling into the abyss.

Since they are destined to be together but not to stay together, and it is impossible to be completely detached, the best thing he can do at this moment is to keep his distance, not say what he shouldn't say, and not ask what he shouldn't ask.

She was willing to risk her own life to block the poisoned arrow aimed at the Crown Prince, which shows that every word she said to him before was true.

She certainly has her own plans.

Therefore, it would be wrong of him to interfere with her under the guise of affection and say things that are wishful thinking.

Even if they cannot be together, it would be good if he could protect her unilaterally, ensuring her good health and long life.

During the follow-up visit, she didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt that he was preoccupied and assumed that he was worried about her poor health. She comforted him and said that there was no rush and that he could take his time to recover.

He swallowed all his sorrow and sadness, and simply nodded in agreement.

Yu Minglu walked to the gate of Taichen Courtyard. He had only taken two steps when he saw Butler Chu standing outside the gate, looking at him with a smile. He immediately thought of Meng Tianguan.

In the past, when Changchun Courtyard invited him for questioning, it was usually Old Madam Meng who invited him, and the person who sent him was one of the three favored by Old Madam Meng.

Only when Meng Tianguan summoned him for questioning would Steward Chu come in person.

Sure enough, Butler Chu said, "Physician Yu, my master requests your presence."

In the main room of Changchun Courtyard.

Both Meng Tianguan and Old Madam Meng were present, sitting high on the left and right sides of the head table, while the three guests were serving them inside.

After exchanging greetings, Meng Tianguan invited Yu Minglu to take a seat.

Yu Minglu walked to the left side and sat down, saying nothing and quietly waiting to be asked questions.

Meng Tianguan didn't ask anything else, nor could he answer anything else. Just as he had thought on the way to the main courtyard, Meng Tianguan had indeed come to him because of Miss Meng's current physical condition.

He answered truthfully: "The toxins in the young lady's body have been completely cleared, and the high fever has not recurred since it subsided. The young lady's condition is currently not serious. However, after this incident, the recuperation of the previous few months has been wasted, and everything can only start from scratch and recuperate slowly again."

Upon hearing the words "in vain," both Meng Tianguan and Old Madam Meng frowned simultaneously, with Old Madam Meng even wiping away the tears welling up in her eyes with a handkerchief.

Seeing this, Yu Minglu said, "Your Excellency and the Old Madam need not worry too much. Although the young lady has been sickly since childhood, her will is exceptionally strong. With my prescription and the young lady's cooperation, if she takes proper care, her complexion will definitely improve."

"Cooperate..." Meng Tianguan hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not say that he was afraid that Meng Shisan would encounter unforeseen circumstances during the recuperation process, and the months of recuperation would be in vain. "I will cooperate with Yaoyao. Only when you are well recuperated can you have a more comfortable New Year."

Old Madam Meng understood the hesitation in Meng Tianguan's words "cooperate," and her worry deepened. "Perhaps we should let Yaoyao stay at Zhaoyue Manor in Tongzhou for a while? Once she's recovered, she can come back. There are too many people and too much gossip in this manor and city; unexpected troubles just keep happening one after another, without end." "The situation isn't settled yet, and I'm not comfortable with Yaoyao going anywhere. It's more reassuring for her to stay in the manor. Once the situation is clearer, we can ask Yaoyao if she'd like to go to Tongzhou to recuperate temporarily. If she's willing, then we can make arrangements then." Meng Tianguan's consideration was more thorough.

Yu Minglu listened without uttering a word, yet he understood what Meng Tianguan meant by the situation he was referring to.

He agreed with Old Madam Meng's suggestion that it would be beneficial for Miss Meng's health to recuperate in a quiet and carefree place. He also agreed with Meng Tianguan's opinion that it was indeed not the right time to leave the capital and go to Tongzhou.

She has already encountered various crises in the capital. Once she leaves the capital, the Second Prince will definitely become even more reckless, and her safety will be even less guaranteed.

No matter how many guards are deployed, it will not put people at ease. It would be better to wait until this storm has passed before making arrangements.

Old Mrs. Meng was shrewd all her life, and even in her old age, her mind remained sharp. She understood as soon as Meng Tianguan spoke.

Meng Tianguan asked Yu Minglu a few more questions about the key points of Meng Shisan's prescriptions for recuperating his health. Old Madam Meng had nothing more to ask, so she had Steward Chu personally escort Yu Minglu out of the Meng residence.

Yu Minglu had just been invited to Changchun Courtyard by Steward Chu at the courtyard gate. As soon as they left, the gatekeeper reported it to her superiors.

When the news reached Meng Shisan's ears, she initially thought it was normal for her grandparents to care about her, their eldest granddaughter. However, when she heard that it wasn't Sanshang who invited Yu Minglu, but rather Butler Chu who came personally, she realized that this time it wasn't her grandmother asking about her situation first and then informing her grandfather, but rather her grandfather wanting to ask Yu Minglu about her health condition in person.

In such a situation, the grandmother should also be present.

She couldn't help but wonder what important thing could make her grandfather, who was always busy, set aside time for her.
Her frail and sickly nature is nothing new. Even after recuperation, she is still weak and prone to serious illness.

Grandmother knew this, and Grandfather should have known it too.

If that's the case, then what is Grandfather doing this time...?

Meng Shisan pondered, recalling the strange words Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu had uttered to the imperial physicians while she was still unconscious, and their odd reactions to the physicians' questions.

Could it be related to this?
Just as she was starting to think it was possible, Shangchun came in and announced, "Miss, Butler Chu has arrived."

Meng Shisan said, "Let the steward in."

After enjoying the spring scenery, he invited Steward Chu into the Mingxiao Hall.

"Young Miss," Butler Chu bowed, "The Old Master invites you."

"Alright." Meng Shisan nodded. "Did Grandfather say anything about it?"

She'll find out first.

However, Steward Chu claimed to know nothing about it.

If she didn't know, she didn't know. Meng Shisan didn't ask any more questions and told Butler Chu to go ahead first, saying she would arrive later.

"Yes, sir." Butler Chu left the room.

Meng Shisan stood up, letting Baozhu and Tongyu drape a gray squirrel fur cloak over her shoulders, and asked Shangchun, "What time is it now?"

“In three quarters of an hour, it will be time for people to rest,” the Spring Appreciation chapter says.
