Chapter 758: A Hard Battle
Baisha saw with his own eyes who carried the kite to the outside of the gate of the Meng Mansion, and then he made a prompt decision and followed the two warriors carrying the kite.
The two warriors' skills were only average, and they were not death warriors. They were probably just used as vanguards.
If someone is discovered and attacked in public while carrying someone, he would not care if he was caught or killed.
Baisha knew this very well. While following the two warriors, he also carefully concealed his own tracks to ensure that he followed the two warriors to their final destination.
He followed them to a tea shed not far away and saw two warriors enter the shed. Soon they came out and left in two directions. He also waited patiently in the original place. He felt that the person who came out of the tea shed later was the one he really wanted to follow.
Afterwards, Baisha curled his lips when he saw Beiyan being escorted out by the waiter at the tea stall.
Baisha returned to the palace to report, then left the palace with Meng Renping and returned to Meng's Mansion to continue on duty. Baizhuo returned to Ji Kuan to await orders.
When Meng Renping returned home, he did not even go back to his own Jianfeng Courtyard, but went straight to the Taichen Courtyard in the backyard.
The Shang family sent people to inquire in the streets near the Meng Mansion whether there was anyone who happened to see the kite being carried back to the gate of the Meng Mansion. Many people were sent out, but when they came back, they all shook their heads.
When he learned about this, he asked Gao Yuan to go to Zehuiyuan on the way to inform his mother. There was no need to investigate further because he already had the answer.
After hearing the source of the answer, Shang heaved a long sigh of relief and really let it go. With Donggong personally investigating, the news must be true.
Meng Shisan was sitting with Meng Renping in Mingxiaotang. After listening to what he said, she was not surprised at all. She just asked, "Did Your Highness say how he would deal with it?"
"Your Highness said that since this matter is related to your assassination, the Eastern Palace will definitely handle it to the end." Meng Renping repeated Li Shou's words in full, hoping that Meng Shisan would give up the idea of investigating it on his own.
But Meng Shisan was going to disappoint him this time. She didn't plan to back down again: "I was attacked earlier, Baozhu almost lost her life because of protecting me, and now Fengzheng almost lost his life because of me. Big brother, no matter what His Highness said before, I can't just sit and wait for the result of this matter."
"Yaoyao, this is dangerous!" Meng Renping frowned. He felt that he had to make his cousin give up this idea, so he began to appeal to her emotions. "You were attacked first, and Baozhu and Fengzheng were injured later. They were all trying to protect you and do things for you. If you investigate it yourself and get attacked again during the investigation, and if you make a mistake, how can you be worthy of their protection and help?"
Meng Shisan met Meng Renping's sincere eyes as he tried to dissuade her with the pearl and the kite: "I have made up my mind, big brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore. As for safety, I will take Chang'an with me this time."
Take it with you wherever you go.
Meng Renping was stunned: "Yaoyao..."
"If big brother is still worried, I can take Xiaoyin with me as well." Meng Shisan took the silver fox with him as well.
Although the Silver Fox is now just a fox that can speak human language, and is not the Kirin Deer that became a monster in the past, its fighting power is not as strong as that of monsters, but it is stronger than that of humans.
It won't let go until those sharp teeth tear off a piece of flesh and blood.
Meng Renping also thought of the scene where the silver fox had bitten someone and left the person bloody. He also knew that since Meng Shisan had made up his mind, it would be useless for him to persuade him. So he could only remind him: "The guards of the East Palace and the guards in our mansion will continue to follow you and protect you in secret. Even so, with Chang'an and Xiaoyin following you, you must be extremely careful when you go out and don't be careless."
"No need." Meng Shisan refused.
Meng Renping didn't understand: "What?"
Meng Shisan said, "Brother Lao, please tell His Highness to withdraw all the guards in the East Palace, and also withdraw the guards in our mansion."
"No!" Meng Renping stood up excitedly, "I still think that there are too few people following you out, not enough to protect you. How can we retreat? We absolutely cannot retreat!" "Brother..."
"No need to say more, no matter what you say, I won't agree!"
Meng Renping disagreed, but how could Meng Renping influence what Meng Shisan wanted to do?
Meng Renping was angry that Meng Shisan ignored his own interests and took risks by investigating the case himself, so he handed in a sign to the palace again that night and went to the East Palace to talk to Li Shou.
Ji Kuan was not on duty and was not around.
Chang Zhu was there at the moment, standing with Chang Qing, but he would rather not be there at the moment, and be sent on other errands by his own prince as usual.
He secretly glanced at his prince's face, which was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it, and silently moved half a step forward.
The reason why he took only half a step was that he didn't dare to move too obviously, for fear of becoming a mosquito spitting blood when His Highness was furious.
Chang Qing glanced at Chang Zhu secretly, and he understood the reason behind Chang Zhu's action very well. He also moved half a step forward tacitly.
Meng Renping was still immersed in a brainstorming session on how to stop Meng Shisan from taking risks on his own. He could not see the dark shadow on Li Shou's face that was on the brink of a storm, nor could he see Chang Qing and Chang Zhu's cautious and furtive actions to protect themselves.
At the same time, Meng Shisan always keeps his word.
She quickly told Chang'an about her plan, and then instructed: "Ask Huai Niao to send a letter to Ma Ji, telling him to put aside the matter at hand that I asked him to investigate, and to make time tomorrow to cooperate with me in a tough battle."
"Okay." Chang'an turned around and went to the tree outside the house to find the locust bird to deliver the message.
Baozhu was still lying in her room, resting her left hand. Only Jinyin prepared a midnight snack and brought it to Meng Shisan, and stayed in the room, listening to Meng Shisan's instructions to Chang'an and the tough battle that Meng Shisan would have to fight tomorrow.
She was not as clever as Baozhu, nor as calm as Shangchun. She could only tinker with food in the kitchen, trying to make delicious dishes so that Meng Shisan could eat better.
Hearing these words, she was completely stunned.
Meng Shisan knew Jin Yin's temperament, and said to Jin Yin, "Shang Chun must still be busy with the hospital affairs at this moment. Since you happened to be here and heard it, you should tell Shang Chun about it, so that she won't worry about me if I go out late tomorrow."
This is one of them.
Secondly, she had no plan to tell anyone in the mansion before she left tomorrow. If she did not return in the afternoon, Shang would certainly ask her where she had been, and then Shangchun would have to deal with her aunt.
"...Yes." Jin Yin reacted a beat late.
She left Mingxiaotang and found Shangchun, who was still busy with chores in the yard. She repeated Meng Shisan's words to Shangchun word for word.
Shangchun couldn't recover for a long time after hearing this.
Seeing this, Jin Yin became even more worried: "Aunt Shangchun, do you think anything will happen to the young lady tomorrow?"
