Chapter 118: Mining Sites

In Meng's Mansion, a man in black knocked on the door outside Meng Zhendong's door.

"Who?" Meng Zhendong asked vigilantly.

"My lord, it's me." The man in black replied.

There was no sound in the house for a while, and after a while, Meng Zhendong lit the candles in the house, pushed open the door, and put the man in black into the room.

"What?" Meng Zhendong asked. This man in black is the secret guard arranged by Meng Zhendong in Shangshu Mansion, and when he came back so late, he must have found out important news.

"Back to my lord, after my subordinates saw a guard come out of Wang Qingyuan's room, he rode a horse and went directly out of Shangshu Mansion, and his subordinates caught up with him and found that he was out of the city with a token, and it seemed that he was rushing in the direction of Weinan City." The man in black replied.

Did Wang Qingyuan finally do it? Meng Zhendong thought to himself. In that case, he will have to speed up his response tomorrow.

"Okay, continue to keep an eye on Wang Qingyuan, and come back and report if you find anything." Meng Zhendong commanded.

"Yes." After the man in black finished speaking, he pushed open the door and disappeared into the night room.

Meng Zhendong walked to the door, looked at the quiet and empty courtyard, and closed the door.

Fu Qinglian sent two teams of people to investigate the place where Meng Zhendong privately minted copper coins. One team is the secret guards, their mission is to take advantage of the darkness to investigate around, and the other team is the guards, Fu Qinglian has them wandering around disguised as ordinary people to inquire.

Fu Qinglian didn't have much time, so he had to hurry up and find the place where Meng Zhendong privately minted copper coins as soon as possible. Sending two teams of people to find out the news separately can speed up and improve efficiency.

Fu Qinglian himself also took Hua Shenyue and Chen Shi out early in the morning, and the three of them deliberately changed their clothes into the clothes of ordinary people, and then rode to the outskirts of the capital.

Meng Zhendong was focusing all his attention on Wang Qingyuan at this moment, so naturally he didn't have the time to pay attention to Fu Qinglian's movements.

Fu Qinglian took Hua Shenyue and Chen Shi around the eastern suburbs of the capital, but did not find the location where Meng Zhendong mined copper.

"Lord Wang, it seems that the location where Meng Zhendong mined copper ore is not in the eastern suburbs." Chen Shi said.

"It's not too early today, let's go back to the house first, and look for it tomorrow." Fu Qinglian said.

The three of them rode to the capital.

The city gate will be closed after dark, so you must return to the capital before dark, otherwise even if Fu Qinglian has a token to enter, he will be inquired by someone with a heart, and when the time comes, it will be bad to beat the grass and scare Meng Zhendong's ears.

Respect the king's mansion.

"Princess." Cuihua hurried to Meng Hongyi's room again.

"What's the matter?" Meng Hongyi sat on the bed embroidering handkerchiefs. A few days ago, because of Meng Zhendong's incident, she broke into Fu Qinglian's room, made Fu Qinglian angry, and after being punished and grounded, in order to calm her mind, she simply found something to do for herself.

"Princess, Mei Xiang's girl secretly passed the word that the prince bought a piece of cloth for Hua Shenyue and asked Aunt Lin to make clothes for her!" Cuihua said angrily.

Cuihua's first reaction when she heard the news was that Hua Shenyue, a foxy man, took advantage of Meng Hongyi's punishment to seduce Fu Qinglian, otherwise how could Fu Qinglian let Aunt Lin give her a maid to make clothes.

"What?" When Meng Hongyi heard Cuihua's words, she couldn't sit still, she put down the things in her hand and stood up from the bed, her face covered with gloom.

"Hua Shenyue, the vixen, really wants to seduce the prince." Meng Hongyi said viciously.

"She insists on staying by the prince's side, her mind is definitely not pure, this time while the princess is punished, I don't know how to seduce the prince!" Cuihua swore that he seemed to have witnessed everything with his own eyes.

"Bang!" Meng Hongyi slapped her hand on the table fiercely, her eyes were vicious, as if she wanted to cut Hua Shenyue with a thousand knives.

Cuihua was startled, she looked at Meng Hongyi's appearance, although she was a little scared, she stepped forward to help Meng Hongyi sit down and poured her a glass of water.

"The princess is angry, the prince just didn't see the true face of the fox clearly, and when the princess is angry, he will definitely remember the princess." Cuihua took the fan and fanned Meng Hongyi while comforting her.

"It's too late, I'm afraid that the prince won't have time to think of me, and the soul seduced by the fox spirit will be lost," Meng Hongyi said angrily.

Cuihua didn't know how to answer for a while, she could also see that Fu Qinglian was a little different from Hua Shenyue, and she also knew that Fu Qinglian had no feelings for Meng Hongyi, but she would never dare to say this kind of thing.

"No, this concubine can't sit still, Cuihua, you go and pour cold water in the barrel." Meng Hongyi commanded.

"Princess, what are you going to do?" Cuihua asked, she didn't quite know Meng Hongyi's intentions.

"Don't worry so much, just let you go." Meng Hongyi raised her voice.

"Yes." Cuihua saw that Meng Hongyi was angry, and immediately put down the fan in his hand and ran out.

Cuihua took a few guards, and the guards all carried a bucket of water in their hands. Under Cuihua's orders, the guards poured everyone in the bucket into the wooden barrel where Meng Hongyi was bathing.

Cuihua realized what Meng Hongyi wanted to do, she wanted to persuade Meng Hongyi, but she didn't dare. Meng Hongyi is now blowing up at one point, and in order to see Fu Qinglian, she is also uncompromising.

The guards poured water and left, Meng Hongyi had already dismissed all the maids, and at this moment, Cuihua was left in the room.

Meng Hongyi stood on the stool and was about to jump into the barrel.

"Princess, have you thought about it? Does it really have to be like this? Cuihua hugged Meng Hongyi's leg, so that although she could see Fu Qinglian, Meng Hongyi's body was going to suffer.

"Cuihua, you let go, the concubine has already thought about it, if you don't do it today, you just wait for the princess of the palace to be replaced." Meng Hongyi said coldly, she is very resolute, no matter what, she has to see Fu Qinglian today.

When Cuihua heard this, she had to let go of her hand. Meng Hongyi jumped into the barrel, although it was still the end of July at this moment, Meng Hongyi was still trembling in the water.

"Princess, even if it's for the sake of the prince, you can't get along with your body." Cuihua said worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's not in the way, this level of care, this concubine can still stand it." Meng Hongyi's entire body was soaked in cold water and said to Cuihua.

Cuihua saw that Meng Hongyi was resolute, and she no longer persuaded her.

"Cuihua, you go and bring that bucket of water and pour it directly over my head." Meng Hongyi commanded again.

Cuihua turned her head to look at the bucket of water on the ground, and finally lifted it up. Cuihua looked at Meng Hongyi with some hesitation, if she poured it like this, she would definitely catch a cold.

"Princess......" Cuihua shouted hesitantly.

"Hurry up." Meng Hongyi ordered sharply.

Cuihua was helpless, lifted the barrel, closed her eyes, and poured it straight down.

"Shhh When Cuihua opened her eyes, Meng Hongyi was already soaked from head to toe.

Cuihua was a little unbearable, she stood aside and accompanied Meng Hongyi. Meng Hongyi had been soaking in cold water for a quarter of an hour, but she still didn't want to come out.

"Princess, it's almost." Cuihua couldn't help but remind loudly.

"No, it's not enough, since we've come this far, we have to answer the goal." Meng Hongyi said resolutely. Since she chose this method in the first place, she must catch a cold, otherwise she will be sorry for soaking herself in cold water for so long.

Cuihua is helpless, as a maid, what she should have said has already been said, and if she continues to say it, Meng Hongyi will not listen to it

Meng Hongyi soaked in cold water for half an hour, and then Cuihua helped her out.

"Princess, hurry up and dry yourself and change into clean clothes." Cuihua said, she wanted to find clean clothes for Meng Hongyi, but Meng Hongyi stopped her.

"Wait, it's not enough." Meng Hongyi said.

"Princess, you've been soaking for half an hour, your body is so cold, you'll catch a cold if you don't change your clothes." Cuihua was a little anxious.

"It's just to catch a cold, otherwise what's the point of me doing this!" Meng Hongyi raised her voice. After that, she didn't wait for Cuihua to react, she pushed open the window in a wet suit and stood next to the window.

Cuihua understood Meng Hongyi's intentions, she wanted to wear wet clothes to blow the wind, so that she could catch a cold as soon as possible. Cuihua knew that Meng Hongyi was already hard-hearted, so she no longer persuaded her, but stood beside her and blew the wind with Meng Hongyi.

Meng Hongyi wore soaked clothes and blew the wind in front of the bed for two quarters of an hour, and finally couldn't support it, she asked Cuihua to help her dry her hair, change into clean clothes, and lie on the bed.

Cuihua helped Meng Hongyi clean up, and asked people to take away the wooden barrel in the room, pour out the water in the bath bucket, and let Meng Hongyi's wet clothes be taken down and washed.

It wasn't until the room was cleaned up that there didn't seem to be anything abnormal that Cuihua walked to the side of the bed and observed Meng Hongyi's condition.

"Princess, princess." Cuihua shouted. Meng Hongyi was about to fall asleep, and when she heard Cuihua call her, she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Cuihua, does this concubine have a fever?" Meng Hongyi asked listlessly.

Cuihua stretched out her hand, one hand on her forehead, and the other on Meng Hongyi's forehead. Meng Hongyi tossed for so long, and the temperature was obviously much higher than Cuihua.

"Yes, princess, the slave will go and ask someone to ask for a doctor for you." Cuihua said, put down her hand, and wanted to walk out of the room, but Meng Hongyi grabbed her.

"Wait, you must send someone outside to ask for a doctor, and when the doctor arrives, I will tell the prince, I don't want that fox girl from Hua Shenyue to help me see a doctor." Meng Hongyi said.

"Yes, the slave and maid will go, princess, you have a good rest first." Cuihua nodded.

Only then did Meng Hongyi let go of the hand holding Cuihua and closed his eyes to rest. Cuihua helped Meng Hongyi fold the quilt, and then walked out of the door.

"You, go and ask the princess for a doctor, the princess is sick, go quickly, you must hurry up and invite the doctor back." Cuihua said to the guards in the courtyard.

After arranging for the guards to invite the doctor, Cuihua went to the kitchen again and made a bowl of ginger soup for Meng Hongyi with her own hands, Cuihua took the ginger soup back to Meng Hongyi's room and put the ginger soup on the table.

Meng Hongyi was already asleep, Cuihua reached out and touched Meng Hongyi's forehead, and the temperature on her forehead was hotter than before. Cuihua thought about it, but decided to wake up Meng Hongyi.
