Chapter 392 Old Master Liu Falls Ill
"So what are your plans next?" Hu Xiner asked silently.
The joy of meeting a fellow villager and the sadness of losing a close friend appeared in her heart at the same time, pulling at her violently.
"If I say that I want to continue to maintain this identity..." the time traveler said hesitantly.
Hu Xin'er suddenly raised her head. "Don't even think about taking advantage of the princess by using Erdong's name! I'm warning you, if you do anything bad in his presence, I will expose you at all costs."
The time traveler was startled. "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. It's just that the Princess won't let me escape for the time being, and I don't know much about this place, so I have to use his identity."
His eyes were clear and sincere.
Hu Xiner closed her eyes tightly: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"I understand how you feel," the time traveler said. "If it was my friend who traveled through time, I would be sad too. At the same time, I hope you can understand me."
In fact, when he first came here, he was also very confused about his identity, but later he thought it through. The original owner was dead, and he came to this body by accident. He would never give up his life because of this.
He really appreciated Hu Xiner's statement just now.
Because this proves that Hu Xiner is not a heartless and ungrateful person. She values her friends very much and is willing to protect them even at the cost of exposing her identity as a time traveler.
Moreover, she is very rational and will not lose control of her anger because he has taken over Erdong's body. Instead, she can look at the matter relatively rationally.
In short, a qualified ally.
Hu Xiner took a deep breath and said, "If you are sure that you will not harm the people around me, and will not do anything that is against the law, then I can help you conceal your identity. After all, we are from the same hometown."
Seeing that she had figured it out, the time traveler smiled gratefully and said, "I really need your help. Let's get to know each other better. I'm Erdong, from Blue Star China."
Although the two met for the first time, they were bound together by the secret of their identities and their need to understand each other.
Just as they were lamenting their situation, a sudden noise came from the outer courtyard.
Hu Xiner listened carefully and her expression changed drastically: "Oh no, let's go back quickly!"
The birthday banquet was in chaos. Old Master Liu, who had been fine just now, had fallen to the ground, holding his chest and looking very uncomfortable.
The prince tried to stabilize the situation: "Don't panic, everyone. I have already sent for the doctor!"
Hu Xiner was also a little flustered. After all, this was the original owner's grandfather, and after spending so many days together, she and Old Master Liu had developed some feelings for each other.
Although Old Master Liu was somewhat snobbish and would do anything for the sake of his family's reputation, he ultimately did not actually do anything dangerous to her and Mu Qing.
It's just that they stand on different standpoints and are destined to not understand each other.
The eldest princess looked a little serious. "Where did you go just now? Xin'er, don't worry. Old Master Liu just suddenly fell ill. The Crown Prince will definitely send someone to cure him."
Before Hu Xin'er could figure out the relationship, Erdong suddenly rushed up and began to check on Old Master Liu's condition in a very professional manner.
The eldest princess was a little surprised.
Hu Xiner stepped forward and asked nervously, "Brother, what did you do before you traveled through time?"
Erdong didn't even raise his head: "Military doctor!"
It turned out that he was a soldier. Hu Xiner immediately looked at him with admiration and trusted his character even more.
Thanks to his treatment, Old Master Liu temporarily saved his life.
The doctor in the mansion rushed over to take Old Master Liu's pulse and was relieved to see that he was fine.
The prince's expression changed slightly, and then he revealed a look of relief: "Then carry Old Master Liu into the inner courtyard."
Everyone praised the Crown Prince for his composure in the face of danger, and the eldest old lady even said with a smile, "Today is truly thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for taking charge of the situation!"
But Hu Xiner keenly noticed the subtle changes in the prince's expression.
When he found out that Old Master Liu had been cured, his first reaction was surprise and displeasure.
Why is he unhappy? Could it be...
The prince simply nodded indifferently in the face of everyone's flattery, then suddenly shouted, "Lu Yunjue is plotting to murder Old Master Liu. He is simply insane. Why don't you arrest him quickly?!"
Immediately someone rushed in from outside, trying to capture Mu Qing.
Everyone was shocked and puzzled. The eldest princess also asked in surprise, "Crown Prince, you said Lu Yunjue murdered Old Master Liu? How is that possible?"
The prince showed a helpless and sad expression: "I can't believe it, but I saw Lu Yunjue poisoning me with my own eyes!"
The eldest princess turned her head in disbelief, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Even she had this reaction, let alone the guests present.
The eldest old lady's mind raced as she echoed, "Then we have no choice but to apprehend Master Lu first. Let's do it!"
The men under their command were all big and strong, and looked like martial artists. Mu Qing was still seriously injured and had not recovered yet, so how could he withstand such a fight?
If he were really caught, given the prince's vicious temper, who knows what kind of punishment he would receive!
"Who dares!" Hu Xiner protected Mu Qing at all costs, unable to hold back the anger in her heart any longer. She finally understood the reason for the prince's expression just now.
The prince actually poisoned Old Master Liu himself, intending to kill him and put the blame on Mu Qing!
How cruel is this intention? You have to know that Old Master Liu had always cooperated with him before this!
She looked at the prince angrily: "It was clearly you who murdered my grandfather. You are clearly the thief crying thief!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Xin'er, what are you talking about? Are you losing your mind?" The eldest princess couldn't help but stand up, her face full of displeasure. "The Crown Prince has always been virtuous and kind, and would never do such a thing. It's fine for you to protect your husband, but why are you framing him?"
The eldest old lady felt the same way: "Xin'er, framing the Crown Prince is a serious crime. Why don't you apologize to him quickly?"
"What's your business?" the eldest princess scolded directly.
The eldest wife was frustrated and retreated quietly.
Hu Xin'er questioned, "He's virtuous and kind? Then why did he frame my husband at the birthday banquet? Wasn't he the one who started it?"
The eldest princess frowned: "Brother Crown Prince must have his reasons for doing this."
After all, the prince is her brother. Although she has experienced a lot before, deep down in her heart she still doesn't want to believe that her elegant brother would be a bad person.
The two men confronted each other in the lobby, and a faint smile flashed across the prince's lips.
Seeing that she was stubborn and unrepentant, Hu Xin'er's eyes were filled with disappointment: "Do you know that the last time he accompanied you to the Liu family, he used this to threaten Old Master Liu and Lu Yunjue!"
