Chapter 274 The Prince’s Doubts
A fallen leaf swirled down, adding to the desolate image of his departing figure.
Although Hu Xin'er hadn't reacted yet, she subconsciously said, "Yin Li, wait!"
Yin Li immediately turned her head and said with a grin, "Haha, I knew you couldn't bear to leave me!"
Hu Xiner rolled her eyes immediately. This guy was pretending again!
Yin Li fanned herself so hard she flew up into the air. "Tell me now, how are you going to repay me?"
With this interruption, the previous solemn atmosphere immediately disappeared, and Hu Xiner also regained her usual cheerful and playful mood.
She said angrily: "Don't think too much. If it weren't for your promise to the emperor to revise the book, I wouldn't have kept you!"
Yin Li pretended to be angry and said, "You stinky girl, you say one thing and mean another. You obviously care about me."
Mu Qing coughed lightly and said coldly, "You flirted with my wife in front of me, your legitimate husband. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
It was rare for him to speak so much in front of Yin Li, and it was just to criticize Yin Li.
Yin Li said angrily: "Okay, you two are targeting me, right?"
He pretended to turn around and said, "Since I'm not welcome here, I'll just leave! See how you guys will complete your task of repairing the book after I'm gone."
Mu Qing actually wanted to lighten the atmosphere, but was a little surprised to see Yin Li like this.
Hu Xiner winked at him: Don't worry, he's just throwing a tantrum and wants us to coax him.
Yin Li moved slowly, counting down in his mind: 3, 2, 1!
Hu Xin'er stepped forward in time and grabbed his sleeve: "No, no, you are the handsome, elegant, and trustworthy Master of the Wanjuan Pavilion. Since you promised to help us repair the book, you must keep your promise!"
When Yin Li was praised, the corners of her mouth turned up high: "Humph, now you know how to keep me? I tell you, it's too late!"
He shouted louder than anyone else, but his body turned around honestly.
Mu Qing clenched his fist and coughed lightly to hide his smile. In fact, sometimes, although Yin Li asked for a beating, she was still a little cute.
He feigned indifference and said, "Go and treat the wound on your chest quickly, so as not to delay my progress in repairing the book."
After saying this, he walked to the other side of the palace road with his hands behind his back.
Yin Li jumped up and down: "Hu Xin'er, do you still care about your husband?"
Hu Xin'er quickly patted his back: "Okay, it's okay, that's just how he is. Don't let your wounds open again."
Yin Li insisted: "No! You have to let him sleep in the study today."
Hu Xiner almost laughed out loud, but if she really agreed to this request, Mu Qing, the jealous guy, would definitely be jealous again.
She thought for a moment and then said gently, as if coaxing a three-year-old child, "Okay, you're so handsome, don't bother with him."
Yin Li was skeptical: "Do you really think so?"
Hu Xiner nodded vigorously.
He was happy now and hummed softly: "I see you let me stay just to let me help your husband."
Hu Xin'er subconsciously agreed: "Yes, yes, yes..."
Yin Li closed her fan in disbelief.
Hu Xin'er laughed: "No, you think too much."
Yin Li cursed and said, "You two are such a jerk. You're trying to cheat people without even putting on a good front."
He kept muttering along the way, but still happily followed the two of them back to continue working.
Of course, before going back, he had to treat his wound first, otherwise the people in the library would see that he was injured and would definitely scream and attract the emperor.
The prince's power in the court was already enormous, and his reputation was at its peak after he saved the emperor last time. No one would want to question what he said.
On the other hand, in the eyes of those who do not know the truth, Yin Li is just a quack, and the Lu family is also weak and isolated. If this matter gets out of hand, they will not gain any benefits.
Therefore, they are not planning to expose this matter.
When the people at the library saw Yin Li coming back in new clothes, they just thought that Yin Li's narcissism had come back again.
He strolled around like a colorful peacock every day. No one would be suspicious even if he changed five clothes a day, let alone one. This became the best disguise.
On the other side, the prince stood with his hands behind his back in the East Palace, pretending that he had never left the East Palace and had been concentrating on studying.
"Your Highness, when we arrived with Doctor Chen, there was only a pool of blood."
The prince couldn't help but frown: "Oh? Is there any movement from the emperor?"
He was a little puzzled. According to Lu Yunjue's personality, he would never swallow his anger after seeing his good friend die.
So he was already prepared for Lu Yunjue to complain to the emperor.
But his subordinate's answer was beyond his expectations: "Your Highness, Lu Yunjue and the others did not go to the Yangxin Palace, but returned to the Library!"
"How is this possible?" The prince turned around suddenly, "Where is Yin Li's body?"
The subordinate trembled inwardly at the prince's fury, but still said, "Yin Li has continued to edit the book with them. He looks normal and in good spirits."
"You mean, Yin Li recovered very well, and Lu Yunjue didn't intend to make a big deal out of this matter?" The prince thought about it for a while and figured out the key point.
The subordinate added, "The Crown Prince is wise, and... Yin Li never went to the Imperial Hospital, and we didn't see him perform any rescue measures."
The prince narrowed his eyes and said, "That's strange. When you left to get the imperial physician, did you send anyone to stay behind?"
The subordinate bowed his head even lower: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The situation was urgent and the brothers did not react in time. When we arrived, Lu Yunjue and the others had already left."
"It seems they left very quickly." There was a hint of understanding in the prince's eyes, but it soon turned into confusion.
He murmured, "Even if it was just a minor injury with bleeding, he definitely wouldn't recover so quickly. And I saw clearly at the time that he was seriously injured. He would need at least ten days to half a month to recuperate..."
He became suspicious of Yin Li and said thoughtfully, "Go check Yin Li's identity. The more detailed the better!"
Hu Xiner was not painting in the library, but was looking at the pen in her hand.
"You little bitch, you're slacking off again!" Yin Li found the right time to retort.
"What? I'm looking for the mechanism on the pen." Hu Xiner stared at the pen intently and talked about the incident where the prince was scratched.
Yin Li said with a smile: "The prince was probably injured by something else, and you happened to open the wound, so he is bleeding."
Hu Xin'er asked unconvincedly, "You weren't there at the time, how do you know?"
