Chapter 78 Inviting His Highness to Appreciate the Moon Together
He Zhilin frowned and asked in confusion: "If Prime Minister Lu is ill, I can just go and treat him directly. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"
"Because your background is not detailed enough," Jiang Xue said, "If you go to see patients with your identity and you are rewarded, the Prime Minister's Mansion will recommend you and they will definitely check your background. If there is any fault in the future, your identity will also be investigated. Then, it will not be so simple. What is the purpose of He Jiazi concealing his identity and going to diagnose the Prime Minister but failing to save him?"
"Do you think that the crime will affect the entire He family?"
Jiang Xue's words hit He Zhilin's heart like a heavy hammer, and he hesitated.
Jiang Xue continued, "Instead of that, it would be better to directly state that you are one of the heirs of the He family, but you are still Yan Zhe, not He Zhilin. If there is really no way to save the situation, at most you will be accused of not learning the skills well enough, and no one will suspect that you or the He family have ulterior motives."
"Okay." He Zhilin replied.
Jiang Xue's concerns were not without reason. If he continued to conceal his relationship with the He family, and if Gu Lintan made a big fuss about it one day, the He family would be in danger.
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I have asked Sister Su Yu to find a suitable shop for me. With Sister Su Yu's ability, I believe it will be ready in a few days. I will arrange all the staff for you by then. You just need to wait for the clinic to open and start seeing patients."
He Zhilin suddenly asked, "But why did you come forward? If Gu Lintan knew that you and I were in contact, wouldn't he abandon me as a chess piece?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "I will tell others that I became a shareholder of your clinic out of gratitude for you curing my illness. This way, you and I will have no other connection, and you are still Yan Zhe. Even if Gu Lintan knew, he would not doubt our relationship."
"But wouldn't it be better if he didn't know?" He Zhilin asked doubtfully, "If he wants to use me to deal with someone, he will be more unscrupulous."
"No, haven't you noticed that he hardly thinks of you these days?" Jiang Xue curled her lips, smiled, and said, "If you want to fish, you have to be willing to bait. We understand this principle, and Gu Lintan must understand it too."
"If he knew that I had begun to show my goodwill to you in order to win you over, would he still let you be won over by me and do nothing about it?"
"The more I want to win you over, the more important you will be to him," Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Besides, the benefits he can offer you will be even greater."
He Zhilin looked at Jiang Xue in confusion.
It seemed like the little baby in my memory, holding a pink oil-paper umbrella and wearing a white fox fur coat, was completely different.
If I had been able to stay in the capital and protect her that day, would she not have been forced to grow from an innocent little princess to this point?
He lowered his head and thought about it, never mind, as long as it was good for her, he was willing to do it.
"Okay, I promise you. When the clinic is ready, I will hold a grand opening ceremony and spread the news that Princess Changle has invested in the clinic. I will make sure he knows about it."
Jiang Xue smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Brother He!"
He Zhilin looked at her with doting in his eyes. Jiang Xue noticed something but quickly passed it over.
She didn't want to get into any more trouble at this time.
He Zhilin is a doctor after all. She asked Ruan Yisui to follow him and use him to find out the whereabouts of Suxi and her son. She didn't want him to know.
Otherwise, if anything unexpected happens to the mother and child in the future, I'm afraid he will blame himself for not fulfilling his duties as a doctor.
"I'll ask Xu Chong to send you back properly," Jiang Xue said jokingly with a smile, "I'll definitely ask him to send you back properly so that your clothes won't suffer."
He Zhilin nodded, said goodbye to Jiang Xue, and told her to take medicine well and rest well, then turned and left.
Jiang Xue sat alone in the room and suddenly sighed deeply.
Some things, maybe it's better not to know than to know.
She didn't know why she didn't want He Zhilin to join the game at the beginning because of her guilt towards He Yuanzheng, but now she seemed to have forgotten everything and only wanted to play the game, even if He Zhilin would become one of the chess pieces.
However, if this is not done, it will be impossible to find out what Gu Lintan's real purpose is, nor will it be known who in the court is paving the way for him. Now my grandfather is old and seriously ill. If my father uses Gu Lintan in the future, it will not be a good thing for Jiang Yu, the Jiang family, and the Ji State.
She thought about it and called Fudong into the house.
"Go and call Jiang Qibin over."
She has now sent Ruan Yisui to the west of the city to keep an eye on Suxi and her son, so there is no one around He Zhilin.
Jiang Qibin arrived soon after. He clasped his fists and saluted, and asked excitedly, "Your Highness, what else do you need me to check?"
"I'm not checking anything. I need you to help me protect someone."
"Who?" Jiang Qibin scratched the back of his head, puzzled.
"Doctor Yan from Yawu Cottage in Sajin Lane, the one Xu Chong just sent away." Jiang Xue said, "Tell him that if he still doesn't like it this time, I'll send another one. This is a very important matter. If he refuses again, I can move to Yawu Cottage myself."
"Ah?" Jiang Qibin was confused. "Is this person important? From what Your Highness said, it seems that someone has been sent there before?"
"Well," Jiang Xue said softly, "He is very important to me... Brother, you are good at fighting, I trust you, just go to his side and keep him company, and make sure you protect him well. If there is anything else I need you to do in the future, I will find someone to tell you."
Jiang Qibin nodded and said seriously, "I will definitely live up to your trust."
Jiang Xue waved her hand and asked him to leave.
Jiang Qibin hesitated for a moment, then asked awkwardly, "Your Highness... Did the cousin from the Prime Minister's Residence go back? Why didn't I see her practicing martial arts with Your Highness today?"
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and asked, "When I was practicing martial arts with her in the courtyard, were you always peeking from the side?"
"No, no." Jiang Qibin waved his hands repeatedly and only looked at it for one day.
Jiang Xue said, "Prime Minister Lu is ill, and she has gone back to the Prime Minister's residence. Why, you care about her?"
"I just think her martial arts are very unique," Jiang Qibin said awkwardly, "I just want to learn a few more things. I don't care, I don't care."
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I will bring Lu Xiang over when she recovers. You are all martial artists, so I believe you are all interested in discussing martial arts. You should do as I say first, and I will send someone to call you when she comes."
Jiang Qibin nodded repeatedly, grinning with his big white teeth, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the house.
Jiang Xue looked at the young man walking away in big strides, and she couldn't help feeling bitter.
He Zhilin, although I have to drag you into this, I will also try to protect you.
I hope that the spirit of He Yuan in heaven can protect him.
Jiang Xue was just about to call Fu Dong Xiaochun to fetch some water for washing, but she saw Fu Dong hurriedly walk into the room and said to Jiang Xue:
"Your Highness, the Prince Consort has sent someone to invite you to a gathering at Lumingzhai."
"What?" Jiang Xue frowned, thinking about what trouble she had in the middle of the night.
Fu Dong looked embarrassed and said, "The prince consort said that the moonlight tonight is intoxicating, and he wants to invite Your Highness to enjoy the moon together..."
