The man was very reluctant, but at this moment he could only follow the crowd. Anyway, the young man seemed to be helping him, so he took out a copper plate from his sleeve and threw it into the water.

The copper plate sank to the bottom of the bowl, and a thin layer of oil immediately appeared on the originally clear water surface.

Meng Wan glanced down, then raised her lips and said loudly: "The bird said, the copper plate is here." As she said that, she knocked the middle-aged man with a bamboo stick.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a bird talk?" The situation changed drastically, and the man's face became slightly darker, and he glared at Meng Wan fiercely.

Meng Wan smiled without fear: "Yes, birds can't talk, but copper coins can."

As he spoke, he pointed to the water bowl and said: "The old man sells sugar cakes, so his hands are always stained with oil and syrup. Because of this, his copper plates will also be stained with oil. But just now, everyone's copper plates were fine.

, only yours is shiny." He said, raising his eyebrows: "How about it? You still don't admit it?"

After saying this, the man who spoke was speechless, and the people around him couldn't help but accuse him: "It's so shameless to even steal an old man's money!"

"That's right, you are no longer a human being. You have hands and feet but don't do any work. Instead, you do some sneaky things!"

You were accusing me, and the man was a little angry. But he was weak and did not dare to fight against the crowd. He could only raise his hand to push the weak-looking Meng Wan away, and ran away.

"Catch him!" Meng Wan shouted instinctively. Before she could finish her words, a cold wind blew past her. Before she could see who it was, the middle-aged man had already screamed and fell on Meng Wan's side.

At feet: "Ouch!"

Looking up, he saw Meng Junheng pressing the thief's arm with his foot, snorting coldly: "To do such a dirty thing in broad daylight is extremely abominable!"

There was unconcealable disgust in his sharp eyes. As he spoke, he suppressed the man who stole the money with almost no effort, causing everyone around him to applaud.

At this time, someone called for the government officials who were patrolling the street. Meng Junheng handed the thief to them, and everyone watching the excitement dispersed. Then he walked up to Meng Wan: "Guan'er, are you okay?"

Meng Wan shook her head. The emperor also walked up to the two brothers and sisters. Seeing this, Meng Wan hurriedly knelt down and was about to salute, but was stopped by the emperor and waved his hand towards her. He smiled and supported her.

With one hand, his eyebrows were full of approval: "Meng Xiang is really good at teaching his children. Not only does he have a son like Jun Heng who is both civilized and military, but his daughter is also a woman. Just now, Wan Yatou had a battle of wits with the thieves.

Your courage really amazes me."

One sentence made Meng Wan slightly startled.

In her previous life, the emperor loved her very much, but it was a pity that he was unlucky and passed away in the second year after she married Huangfu Qian.

At that time, Meng Wan was very sad, but she never thought that she would see him again in his lifetime.

I couldn't help but feel so many things for a while that I forgot to reply and just stared at the emperor with blank eyes.

"Wan'er--" Meng Junheng looked at Meng Wan's lack of etiquette from the side, and whispered in her ear, Meng Wan finally came back to her senses: "Long live the reward, I just used a little trick, I can't get it."

An elegant hall.”

The emperor's humble attitude made the emperor appreciate him more and more. He nodded approvingly, his eyes full of love. He looked at Meng Wan, then turned to Meng Junheng, and said: "Okay, now that you have met girl Wan, you will accompany her.

Go ahead."

"But..." As the emperor's personal guard, Meng Junheng could not neglect his duties, but the emperor waved his hand: "I have a bodyguard to protect me secretly, so I won't get in the way."

The majesty of the emperor seemed to be too great to be resisted. Meng Junheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor left without saying anything. After he left, Meng Wan still looked at the direction in which he left: "Brother, where are you going? He actually came out of the palace himself."

Meng Junheng led the way, and while the two of them were walking towards Yipinju, they said, "We are going to Prince Heng's Mansion. We were just talking about this matter in the palace, so we were delayed. Are you impatient?"

Naturally, Meng Wan didn't mind waiting a little longer. When she heard the words "Prince Heng's Mansion", she instinctively raised her eyebrows, "Prince Heng's Mansion? But wasn't it already burned down before? What else is Long Live the Lord going to do?"

"It was precisely because it was burned that I had to come and see it for myself."

Yipinju had already prepared the dishes for the two of them according to the previous instructions. After they were all served, the two of them sat down. Meng Junheng laid the dishes for Meng Wan, then picked up the jade chopsticks in front of him, picked up the dishes and put them into his mouth.

, swallowed slowly, and then said: "Rather than coming to take a look, it is better to come to seal it, because Prince Heng's Mansion was on fire before, and the Emperor thought it was an ominous place, which would inevitably bring bad luck to His Highness Prince Heng, so

We specially ordered people to block it. And the emperor left the palace today to find a good location to rebuild the palace for His Royal Highness Prince Heng."

It is said that the emperor loves Wujiwu, and it is true that he loves Prince Heng very much. However, according to Meng Wan's past memories, this prince should have left without even staying in the capital. I am afraid that the emperor has taken such pains to

It will all be in vain after all.

The brother and sister chatted for a while while eating. Because they were worried about the emperor's safety and could not stay long, they urged Meng Junheng to follow them early, and Meng Wan returned home alone.

--

It was noon at this time, and the house was quiet. Meng Wan quietly returned to the room and leaned on the soft couch, but she didn't feel sleepy.

He simply picked up the "Thirty-Six Strategies" on the bedside and flipped through it casually.

Because it had snowed for several days, the light in the room was not very good. The words were written by official script. After reading for a while, I felt my eyes were a little tired, so I took a nap while covering the book.

Half asleep and half awake, I seemed to be listening to someone talking outside, chattering but incessantly. I woke up for a few minutes, put down the book, and was still sleepy.

He looked outside and asked, "Who is outside?"

With the sound of opening the door, a pretty figure trotted in from outside. Looking up, he saw Wu'er arriving, kneeling in front of Meng Wan: "Miss, I am a slave."

Meng Wan was obviously stunned for a moment.

After Meng Junyao left, Wu'er was assigned to help in the Huanyi Bureau. She had never seen her again, but now she suddenly came to Meng Wan. No wonder she was amazed.

"Is there a problem?"

Meng Wan put the book aside, then hugged the brocade quilt and stood up. Her long matte blue hair spread all over the place, adding a bit of laziness to her whole body.

"This slave is here to ask the eldest lady for help."
