Chapter 153 Perhaps there is some clue
Jiang Xue frowned slightly and said to Jiang Yu, "Second brother, I need to say a few words to them. Can you go out and wait for me first?"
Jiang Yu was stunned when he heard this, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said softly, "I feel relieved that Zhilin is here. As you said, the courtyard of this tavern is decorated in a very unique way. I'll go out for a walk."
After hearing this, Jiang Xue also understood that he was pointing at her. It was always inappropriate to be alone in a room with a man who was not related to her in the middle of the night. Even though Jiang Yu was unruly and didn't care much about these etiquette rules, he only cared about "his own people", such as He Zhilin. As for Jing Ye, he was probably the "unreliable" person in his eyes.
Jiang Xue smiled awkwardly at Jiang Yu and said, "I know, just a few words, it will come out soon."
Jiang Yu stood up and left. He still had a gentle smile on his face when he looked at Jiang Xue, but he looked a little cold and wary when he walked past Jing Ye.
Jiang Xue sighed in her heart. If one day she could prove that Jing Ye was Xiao Qi, how would the second prince treat him then?
In the past, they were the closest of friends. They spent more time together than He Zhilin, who was ordered to return to his hometown in Jiaodong in his early years. In Jiang Xue's opinion, Jiang Yu treated him much more sincerely than He Zhilin.
Jiang Xue lowered her eyes, feeling a little sad.
When Jing Ye changed his face, was he ready to confront his old friends and lover like this again?
"What do you want to say?"
Jing Ye's cold question brought her wandering thoughts back to normal. She looked up and found that Jiang Yu was no longer in the room. Instead, there was Lu Qiongshuang, who was holding his face and looking at her curiously.
Jiang Xue suddenly felt that since Lu Qiongshuang was here, with her ever-changing mouth, He Zhilin and Jing Ye would probably not have the chance to quarrel, so it seemed that she didn't need to stay to mediate anything.
"I didn't..."
"Cousin, come to think of it, why do my cheap senior brother and Mr. He look like old acquaintances?" Lu Qiongshuang suddenly interrupted, "These two are sitting together, why do I feel like they have a grudge against each other?"
"......" Jiang Xue looked at her speechlessly, then looked at the two people in the tense atmosphere, and finally spoke.
"Brother He," Jiang Xue turned her head and looked at He Zhilin seriously, "The prince is my guest and my friend. Please don't do anything inappropriate to him, such as taking his pulse without his consent."
She sighed and said, "I know you are thinking about his health, but please believe me, it's not what you think."
Before He Zhilin could answer, Jing Ye's sarcastic voice rang out.
"I really didn't know that you Ji people are so hospitable. I wonder if all Ji doctors are like this Doctor He in front of me. As long as they see a living creature, they will go up to feel its pulse and diagnose its illness? They don't worry about the sick, but focus on the healthy. If they do this every day, I can't help but wonder if this is because of poor medical skills or bad intentions."
Lu Qiong stared at Jing Ye in astonishment and said, "No, you, you have said so much to me? How come you can talk so much to Mr. He?"
Jiang Xue closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then turned to look at Jing Ye and said in a deep voice, "And you."
"Your Highness, this is in the capital of Ji State after all. You should be more polite. He's brother didn't provoke you. Why are you so aggressive?"
Jiang Xue stood up and whispered as she walked past Jing Ye, "Also, don't use force on him. He's just a doctor and doesn't know how to fight. If he's really hurt, it will be good to spread your reputation of bullying the weak in Ji State. Wouldn't that just bring trouble upon yourself?"
Jing Ye ignored her instructions and just said lightly: "You really care about him."
Facing Jing Ye's weird tone, Jiang Xue could only sigh helplessly, then turned to Lu Qiongshuang and said:
"Just sit here quietly, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and just tell us all your anecdotes."
She walked behind Lu Qiongshuang and whispered, "Watch out, and stop them if they start fighting."
Lu Qiongshuang looked back at Jiang Xue's receding figure in confusion, then looked back at He Zhilin and Jing Ye, as if he was completely confused.
Fight?
She looked at the frail and thin He Zhilin with pity.
Can this be fought?
Isn't this just getting beaten?
Jiang Xue walked outside and said to Mo Lian and Mo Tian who were guarding the door, "Where did the young master who just left go?"
Mo Tian smiled respectfully and bowed to her, then pointed in a direction and said, "That's where it went."
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "If there's any big noise inside later, come find me."
After saying that, he walked out.
Jiang Yu was sitting on a porch in the courtyard east of the tavern. When he saw Jiang Xue approaching, he immediately waved to her and motioned for her to sit next to him.
Jiang Xue hugged his arm and asked in a half-coquettish and half-tentative way: "Second brother, why are you here tonight?"
Jiang Yu's eyebrows were tired, no longer as energetic and high-spirited as when he just returned to Beijing. He looked at Jiang Xue for a long time, sighed, and said, "Zhi Lin told me everything."
Jiang Xue was panicked for a moment, but then she immediately smiled calmly and said to Jiang Yu, "That's fine. I had to go look for my second brother, but now that you're here, I can save myself the trouble."
Jiang Yu frowned and looked at her with a complicated expression, and said, "Do you really have such a guess?"
Jiang Xue just smiled obediently and said, "Yes, so I would like to ask my brother to write a letter to the northern border tonight and mobilize a few confidants to Jiaodong to guard for Brother He."
"What?" Jiang Yu interrupted her and asked in confusion: "What I meant is..."
"Didn't Brother He tell my brother?" Jiang Xue looked puzzled and said, "Among the relics left by Grandpa He before his death, there may be clues to what happened to my eldest brother."
"But we still have to discuss this with them," Jiang Xue said. "If my brother wants to ask about this, let's go back to the house. Jing Ye's purpose of coming to Ji is to find out some things, and he will also go to Jiaodong. It will be more appropriate for us to discuss these things with each other than for you and me to talk about it alone here."
Jiang Yu pulled Jiang Xue, who was about to stand up, over and said, "Zhi Lin didn't talk to me about this, but about you asking him about the method of changing your appearance."
"What I want to ask is, do you really think that Jing Ye is an old friend who has changed his appearance?"
Jiang Xue was a little panicked, but she managed to calm down. She showed an exaggerated expression and asked, "What old friend?"
At this time, she did not have enough evidence, and she knew clearly that Jing Ye was unwilling.
So, she didn't want Jiang Yu to know.
Seeing her confused look, Jiang Yu suddenly began to doubt what He Zhilin said.
"Then why did you ask him about this?"
Jiang Xue asked in confusion, "I told him about this, didn't he tell you? Qiong Shuang had a friend who asked her to help ask, and I saw that Brother He's medical skills were outstanding, so I just asked casually."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Qiong Shuang."
Seeing her taking it for granted, Jiang Yu suddenly thought that maybe Zhi Lin was overthinking it.
Jiang Xue kept asking, "What is his relationship with Jingye? My brother just said that he is an old friend. What old friend?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yu felt a little relieved and said, "It's nothing, I was just overthinking it. By the way, the matter of the Northern Xi warhorse that your subordinate Jiang Qibin found a few days ago may have some clues."
