Chapter 1890 Rushing to the Rescue
Lu Zhaoling hadn't expected Madam Meng to be so ruthless.
She only asked for a few strands of hair, and without thinking, she plucked out quite a few, about ten or so.
How painful it is.
Doctor Meng asked her anxiously, "Your Highness, is this enough?"
Then he told someone to fetch scissors.
From her, one can see a mother's love and concern for her child.
Grandpa Meng also asked from the side, "Can I use mine? You can cut mine too."
Lu Zhaoling quickly took the hair. "That's enough."
Because of Madam Meng's actions, Zhou Shiyue's impression of the Meng family improved somewhat.
Originally, Meng Si's matter required his son, Xiao Er, to leave the city late at night to go to Ciyun Temple, which made him somewhat unhappy.
But seeing how united and loving the Meng family was, his anger subsided somewhat.
Master Meng and his son Meng Rui also quickly followed him out.
They hitched up their carriages and followed the prince's carriage, and the Meng family hurriedly escorted them to the gate.
A dark cloud hung over their hearts.
"Husband, will Si'er be alright?" The First Madam gripped her husband's hand tightly, her whole body trembling, her hands as cold as ice.
Grandpa Meng was also anxious and worried, but he calmly comforted his wife.
"He'll be alright. What kind of people are the Prince and Princess? They personally went to rescue Si'er, he'll definitely be fine."
"What if the Prince and Princess don't make it in time? After all, Si'er has been out of the city for several hours..."
The First Madam wasn't doubting Prince Jin and Lu Zhaoling's abilities; she was worried they wouldn't be able to keep up!
The others were also worried about this, and they all looked anxious and afraid.
Grand Secretary Meng slowly began to speak.
“The Princess Consort of Jin will definitely make it in time.”
"Father, really?"
"Yes."
Grand Secretary Meng was very certain.
Everyone else was puzzled.
I don't know why my father said that Princess Jin alone could catch up, but he didn't mention Prince Jin or anyone else.
Grand Secretary Meng said, "Go inside and wait."
There's no use worrying here; they certainly won't be back tonight.
"Eldest brother, second brother, come with me to the study."
Grand Secretary Meng said something to his two sons.
This is a critical and tense moment in the court. Prince Jin and his wife should be staying close to the Crown Prince at this time, ready to help him at any moment.
I heard that Sect Leader Yin and his group will be entering the palace the day after tomorrow.
Now that both the Prince of Jin and his wife have gone out of the city to rescue his grandson, the Meng family must also help support what the Prince of Jin should be doing.
He did his best to assist the Crown Prince in order to serve the Prince of Jin.
Only in this way can we repay the kindness shown to the Princess Consort of Jin.
"Yes."
Master Meng and Second Master Meng turned around and told their wives and children to go back to their rooms and wait, while they followed their father to the study.
The Meng family also has capable people.
That night, they had to write down everyone they could use and help the Crown Prince list all the people he needed to pay attention to and deal with.
They have already made arrangements for who they can deal with.
Tomorrow in the imperial court, Grand Secretary Meng will lead the censors and other officials to fully support the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne.
Upon arriving at the city gate, it was already closed, but with Zhou Shiyue present, the gate could be opened immediately upon issuing the token.
Their carriage hurriedly drove out of the city gate.
Lu Zhaoling had already thrown out a small paper doll when she came out, sending it to Huaiyuan to deliver a message.
They hurried towards Cining Temple.
The starlight was dim, the night was deep, and the official road was dark; only the dim, flickering lamplight of their carriage illuminated the darkness.
The sound of horses' hooves was rapid.
Cining Temple is quite far from the capital.
However, Lu Zhaoling was certain that Meng Si wouldn't be in a hurry.
If they hurry, they should be able to stop him before he reaches Ciyun Temple.
Zhou Shiyue had thought so too, but then he thought again that if Lu Zhaoling was in such a hurry, it meant that Meng Si might not have gotten into trouble until he reached his destination.
It's also possible that it's on the way.
Lu Zhaoling thought so too, because she looked at the children's palace of Master Meng and Madam Meng and found that their children's palace was dark and there was a bloody light in the shadows. Although it was not completely dark yet, it was already heading in that direction.
It's even a very cruel fate, meaning it can't be stopped by ordinary means.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of bringing Zhou Shiyue along.
Zhou Shiyue's injuries hadn't healed yet, and Lu Zhaoling couldn't bear to see him go through all that trouble.
At this moment, Zhou Shiyue was ordered by her to lean against the thick, soft cushion, so that he would not move around.
"If you can sleep, try to sleep as much as you can," Lu Zhaoling said to him while drawing a talisman. "We have to catch up with Meng Si before noon tomorrow. I've calculated that noon tomorrow will be a very unlucky time for him."
“You are still injured, and it is already difficult enough for you to travel in a carriage. We can’t let you stay up all night.”
Zhou Shiyue sighed softly.
He did want Lu Zhaoling to rest for a while, but he knew that wasn't her style.
She had already anticipated Meng Si's troubles and was in a hurry to get going, so how could she possibly sleep?
He wanted to stay with her, but he was afraid of worrying her and distracting her, so he could only say softly, "I'm going to sleep now. I'm fine, don't worry."
"Okay, you go to sleep."
Lu Zhaoling covered him with a fox fur blanket.
Zhou Shiyue then closed his eyes.
Whether he could fall asleep or not, he had to pretend to be asleep so she wouldn't worry.
Lu Zhaoling glanced at him and continued drawing talismans.
Over at Huaiyuan, Yin Changxing saw the little paper figure floating in.
He reached out, and the little paper figure jumped into his palm.
A line of golden words appeared on the little paper figure.
"Master, Meng Si is in trouble. Yue and I are going to rescue him now."
"Meng Si?"
Yin Changxing read the name aloud.
Weng Songzhi and Yin Yunting, who were standing nearby, both came over and saw this line of text.
"Meng Si is the grandson of Grand Secretary Meng, a child prodigy in the capital. Despite his young age, he is very calm and composed."
Yin Yunting said, "Jingwen is currently planning to write about Meng Si. Miss Jiang told me that she discovered Meng Si has done a lot of good deeds since he was a child."
Jiang Yongmiao is doing very well at Wuming Bookstore now; she's so busy that she's almost never seen.
Mo Qi had also told him that with Jiang Yongmiao joining Jingwen, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Mo Qi was quick-witted and liked to run around listening to all kinds of news, while Jiang Yongmiao had a knack for judging people. She systematically compiled a list of about a hundred well-known people in the capital, and by combining their family background, friends, articles, or hobbies, she could pick out the people she could focus on digging up "news" about.
Meng Si, for example, was a candidate that Jiang Yongmiao recruited.
Unexpectedly, before they could even finish writing the latest issue of Beijing News, Meng Si got into trouble.
“We will enter the palace the day after tomorrow, so Xiao Ling’er should be able to make it back in time,” Weng Songzhi said.
“It’s alright. If she can’t make it, we’ll go to the palace,” Yin Changxing said.
"As for Shi Yue, the Crown Prince will probably need him even more."
“His Highness the Crown Prince cannot rely on Shi Yue for everything,” Yin Yunting said. “There are so many people helping him.”
"Let's prepare everything we need for entering the palace first."
