Chapter 134 Finding a Countermeasure
"I succeeded in doing it under the guidance of Your Highness. It can't be considered a great skill." Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi and said with a smile.
Ling Junqi looked at Ling Xiyue, speechless, and did not express any opinion.
When He Tingxi saw Ling Xiyue looking at him, he just smiled faintly, then helped Ling Xiyue into the carriage.
"Get on the carriage first and don't let anyone see us." He Tingxi reminded.
"it is good."
He Tingxi also got on the carriage.
Ling Junqi and Shi Hui sat in the front of the carriage, driving it.
The small cage is placed behind him.
In the carriage, Ling Xiyue sat next to He Tingxi, leaning on He Tingxi's shoulder.
"Finally I can take a break. I have to admit, I am still a little tired after walking around like this."
When He Tingxi heard Ling Xiyue say she was tired, he became nervous. He said gently, "Put your legs on my legs and I'll rub them for you."
Ling Xiyue was stunned, then rejected He Tingxi's kindness.
"It's okay, no need for massage, just go back and soak your feet and it will be relieved."
"It's okay, there's no one here and no one can see it." He Tingxi still insisted.
"No need, Tingxi. Shi Hui and my brother are outside. If they hear any noise, they will misunderstand." Ling Xiyue looked outside deliberately.
He Tingxi finally reacted, a little embarrassed, "You're right. Okay, remember to soak your feet when you go back."
"Yeah." Ling Xiyue nodded, still leaning on He Tingxi's shoulder.
"Did you have fun today?" He Tingxi suddenly asked.
"Well, I bought the bracelet I liked and also caught a duck, so it's a bit of a gain. The only drawback is that we met King Lu. But luckily he didn't find us." Ling Xiyue concluded.
He Tingxi felt apologetic upon hearing this, and he put his arm around Ling Xiyue's waist.
"Xiyue, after you are out of confinement, I will take you out for a walk. Then, you won't have to worry about meeting anyone and you can walk around as you please."
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and nodded.
"it is good."
But, Ling Xiyue was thinking in her heart at this moment: But, by then, I should have left. Your Highness, I'm sorry, I have to go.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiyue felt a little uncomfortable, but she was afraid that He Tingxi would notice, so she suppressed it and dared not show it.
After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, Butler Xiao came to greet them. Ling Xiyue asked Butler Xiao to take the duck to the kitchen and tell the kitchen chef to make it into roast duck.
She went back to her room, removed her makeup, changed her clothes, soaked her feet and rested.
He Tingxi first asked Ling Junqi to go to the study, asked Shi Hui to take care of him, and took him back to the room to remove his makeup and change his clothes.
After everything was done, Shi Hui took him to the study.
After closing the door, He Tingxi stood up, walked to the desk and sat down.
He said seriously, "Xiyue and I just saw He Jingcheng's carriage on the street, and he found me."
Both Shi Hui and Ling Junqi were shocked.
"Your Highness, aren't you and the Queen in disguise? Logically, you shouldn't be recognizable, right?" Shi Hui asked.
"Yes." Ling Junqi nodded in agreement.
"Because we almost looked at each other." He Tingxi still had a sullen face.
Shi Hui was very puzzled when he heard this, "Why can His Royal Highness Prince Lu recognize you?"
"He and I studied and grew up together. Even if he doesn't look at my appearance, he should be able to recognize me just by looking at my figure." He Tingxi sighed slightly.
Shi Hui was stunned and speechless.
Ling Junqi nodded and agreed, "Just like when I looked at the empress, I didn't even need to look at her appearance. Just by looking at her figure, I could tell it was her."
Shi Hui glanced at Ling Junqi and suddenly thought of his leg disease. He became a little panicked.
"Your Highness, how do you explain the leg disease? You told others that you would not be able to get out of bed until March, but now it's a month earlier. I'm afraid His Highness Prince Lu will get suspicious."
"That's why I called you here." He Tingxi said seriously.
"Your Highness, I will follow your instructions and do as you wish." Shi Hui immediately understood what He Tingxi meant.
"Please give your orders, Your Highness." Ling Junqi also responded.
"I believe that it won't be long before He Jingcheng will send someone to investigate my leg disease. He should be very curious about why my leg disease recovered so early?" He Tingxi analyzed.
"Send someone to investigate? How to investigate? When will it be Prince Lu's turn to take charge of the affairs of Prince Yan's Mansion?" Shi Hui complained.
He Tingxi smiled helplessly and continued his analysis.
"He must be investigating secretly, and he is very likely to bribe people in the mansion to find out the situation. If he really bribed people in the mansion, they would definitely tell him that my leg disease has not healed. Because among the people in the mansion, only the three of us, Xiyue, and Brother Jian know about it, and no one else knows."
"Yes. So, even if His Royal Highness Prince Lu asks, he won't be able to find out anything." Shi Hui said with a smile.
"That's right." Ling Junqi nodded.
"But, this is more dangerous." He Tingxi said seriously.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Shi Hui was a little confused.
"If he bribes the people in my house and still can't get the result he wants, he will definitely continue to investigate through other channels. If he takes the route of the Queen and the Imperial Grandmother, it will definitely be disadvantageous to me. What if the Imperial Grandmother and the Queen send everyone away and specially send an imperial physician to see my leg disease? At that time, the Imperial Grandmother and the Queen will know that I don't have a leg disease. Then, not only will my previous performance be in vain, but I will also be charged with lying, and the consequences will be very serious."
He Tingxi spoke slowly, his face becoming gloomy.
After hearing this, Shi Hui and Ling Junqi became nervous.
"What should we do then?" Shi Hui asked anxiously.
He Tingxi paused, then smiled evilly.
"So, we can't let his people come here for nothing."
Seeing He Tingxi so calm, Shi Hui felt a little more relaxed. He asked curiously, "Your Highness, do you have a good idea?"
"Shi Hui, please go and prepare a pair of crutches for me first. Be quick and try to have them ready before 3 p.m. I will be walking in the yard with Brother Jian using my crutches around 5 p.m." He Tingxi ordered.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Shi Hui responded readily.
"Junqi, go and explain to Brother Jian on my behalf. Tell him about today's conversation and ask him to come to the study before 3 p.m. and cooperate with me in acting." He Tingxi looked at Ling Junqi and instructed.
"Yes, I'll be there right away." Ling Junqi nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I will explain to Xiyue. If she asks, don't tell her, because I didn't tell her that He Jingcheng discovered me." He Tingxi hurriedly gave instructions when he saw Shi Hui and the others were about to leave.
Shi Hui and Ling Junqi were both stunned and confused.
"Your Highness, why don't you tell the Queen that Prince Lu has discovered you?" Ling Junqi couldn't help but ask.
"Because Xiyue is very confident in her makeup skills, I can't bear to discourage her, nor can I bear to see her blame herself for this." He Tingxi couldn't help but smile when he thought of Ling Xiyue.
