The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 951 This Intimacy

When a person dies, all things cease to exist.

This statement applies to Li Heng in half the sense, but the other half will only be truly resolved when all of Li Heng's supporters have been stripped of their power and fallen from their horses.

Half an incense stick's time had passed, and even though Li Shou was holding Meng Shisan tightly with his arms wrapped around Meng Shisan's waist, his heart was still pounding wildly.

It sounded like thunder, like the beating of drums.

As Li Shou rode Qianshan past Huang Jing and Ma Ji, the two of them immediately realized what was happening and ran towards the end of the alley.

At this moment, Meng Renkang stood between the two men, and the three of them—old, young, and old—looked at Meng Shisan, who was being held tightly in Li Shou's arms and unable to move, for a full half-incense stick's time.

"...How much longer is he going to hold him?" Huang Jing asked the old man and the child as quietly as possible.

Ma Ji coughed softly, but said nothing.

Meng Renkang wanted to step forward and separate Li Shou and Meng Shisan. After all, his elder sister was still a young woman of marriageable age; how could she allow her cousin, the Crown Prince, to hold her in public for so long? But…

Not to mention that his hands and feet were aching, he hadn't eaten or drunk anything since he was tied up, and even standing was difficult, let alone going forward to separate who was with whom.

Moreover, to be honest, even if he had the strength, he wouldn't dare.

So, after waiting for a long time without getting a response, Huang Jing wondered if she had spoken too softly and that no one had heard her. Just as she was about to turn up her voice and quietly ask again, Meng Shisan spoke up.

“Your Highness, apart from being a little disheveled, I am not injured.” Meng Shisan was being held so tightly that she could hardly breathe. She struggled but couldn’t move an inch, so she had to speak again, “But if Your Highness doesn’t let go of me soon, I might get injured from suffocating.”

Li Shou's arm trembled, and his handsome face, which was buried in Meng Shisan's black hair, slowly lifted up. He slowly released his hands and stood up straight, staring directly at Meng Shisan's eldest cousin, who had shocked him so much that his heart almost stopped beating.

At this moment, Meng Shisan confronted Li Shou's inner fears and truly felt Li Shou's desire to marry her... which was probably genuine.

She lowered her head, somewhat unable to look him in the eye.

Li Shou raised his hand and patted the dust off Meng Shisan's hair, not daring to use too much force, as a little dust still remained. He unconsciously moved closer and blew it away.

Meng Shisan's eyes widened and he took two steps back.

Li Shou only blew on it once before realizing what he had done. His instinctive reaction made him pause for a moment, then he looked at Meng Shisan as he backed away: "You have dust on your head..."

An instinctive closeness, an instinctive explanation, made it difficult for him to continue speaking.

He mumbled something and shut his mouth, then awkwardly put his hands behind his back.

“…Oh.” Meng Shisan concealed the surprised expression on his face.

Taking this opportunity, Meng Renkang quickly ran to Meng Shisan's side and took her hand: "Sister, shouldn't we go back to the manor?"

Meng Shisan turned his head to the side, lowered his eyes, and nodded to Meng Renkang: "Yes, I should go back to the manor to report that I am safe."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Li Shou.

Li Shoudong said, "I will escort you back to your residence. There's no need to worry about this place. Fu Feng will arrive soon, and people from the Eastern Palace will come to clean up the mess... including his body."

The "he" here refers to Li Heng.

“Alright.” Meng Shisan had no objection, then turned to Huang Jing and said quickly, “You two come back with us too. There are some things we need to talk about.”

She was referring to the dark figure that had razed the house to the ground.

Huang Jing and Ma Ji both understood and nodded.

Li Shou stood to the side, watching and listening, and suddenly realized that even though he hadn't come today, his older cousin was able to handle the crisis very well.

As he realized this, a sudden, inexplicable panic rose from the depths of his heart.

He had realized that he couldn't live without her in this life; he had made up his mind about her. However, the truth was that no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't control her—neither her heart nor her body.

Without her, he would be miserable in everything, but she could handle any situation without him.

In protecting herself, she can also protect those she wants to protect.

Without his knowledge, she had grown into such a powerful person, while he was still stuck at the stage where he could use his power to protect her.

Speechless all the way.

Meng Shisan was completely absorbed in studying the black shadow that had appeared out of nowhere, while Li Shou was completely absorbed in how to close the distance between himself and Meng Shisan. The two of them remained silent, and the other three were also quiet.

Huang Jing and Ma Ji felt it was inconvenient to speak with Li Shou and Meng Renkang accompanying them, so they both refrained from speaking.

Meng Renkang was the youngest among them. Although he was the protagonist of today's crisis and a minor victim, he only felt pain in his hands, feet, and forehead, and was unharmed elsewhere. After being rescued, most of them thought he was fine and didn't pay any more attention to him.

Even his eldest sister was the same.

His appearance seemed somewhat listless.

However, just thinking about how his elder sister not only came to rescue him single-handedly, but also, under that dark, strange shadow that could instantly level a perfectly good house, she didn't forget to use her soft whip to pull him to her side at the critical moment, protecting him from any harm, made him straighten his back involuntarily.

His older sister loves him!

After convincing himself, Meng Renkang's fat and swollen face broke into a happy smile.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Shou, and his smile vanished again. Even though he was the crown prince and the future emperor, the thought of his cousin, the crown prince, treating his elder sister so recklessly made him unhappy.

snort!
He needs to be more careful in the future, and he must not let his elder sister suffer... No, he still has to study and cannot watch over his elder sister all the time.

I'll talk to my second sister when I get back.

Along the way, everyone had their own thoughts and returned to the Meng residence in silence.

Not long after Li Shou escorted Meng Shisan and his brother back to the Meng residence, Ji Kuan arrived at the end of Washe Hutong in Anmofang with the men of the Eastern Palace.

When he saw the perfectly good house reduced to ashes, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Only after confirming it several times did he dare to believe that he hadn't seen wrong or was hallucinating.

"Didn't you say that His Highness rode through a thousand mountains after leaving the palace?" Ji Kuan asked Bai Zhuo, who had come with him.

Bai Zhuo nodded firmly and confidently: "I saw it with my own eyes, there is no mistake."

"You didn't bring anyone with you?"

"Did not bring."

"Just one man and one horse?"

"Just one man and one horse."

Ji Kuan gasped, incredulously asking, "How did Your Highness manage to ruin such a perfectly good house like this?"

"Perhaps it wasn't His Highness who did it." Bai Zhuo's thinking was simple; he simply felt that his Highness couldn't have demolished a house with his bare hands.

Besides, their prince doesn't know any martial arts at all.

Upon hearing this, Ji Kuan's mind immediately cleared, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "That's... Miss Meng?"

Bai Zhuo remained silent.

He had no idea.
