After returning to the bedroom, He Lingsheng ordered the palace servants to bring tea. He gargled for a long time to get rid of the taste in his mouth.
"Your Highness, the food Miss Jiang made is so unpalatable, why do you still eat it?" asked his personal bodyguard Li Jue in confusion.
"Since Divine Doctor Jiang came to the mansion, he has been showing Jiang An'er around in front of me from time to time." He Lingsheng snorted coldly: "How could I not know what he meant?"
"Your Highness means that Divine Doctor Jiang wants you to take Jiang An'er into your mansion as a concubine?"
He Lingsheng shook his head: "It seems that Dr. Jiang's ambition is not just this."
"Could it be that Jiang An'er is eyeing the position of principal wife?" he exclaimed.
He Lingsheng glanced at him, and the fierce look in his eyes made Li Jue lower his head instantly.
The prince was no longer the young man he had been many years ago. Realizing that he had overstepped his authority, Li Jue stepped back, bowed, and said in fear, "I know I was wrong."
"It's not your fault." He Lingsheng knew very well that in the entire palace, Li Jue was the only one who followed him wholeheartedly.
Because he gave her a bun when she was dying, he was willing to sacrifice his life to protect her.
He Lingsheng sighed: "Now, Doctor Jiang has won the favor of the emperor. If he can control the plague, he will surely rise to prominence."
"But he won the emperor's favor, wasn't it because of your promotion?"
"Oh, when people reach a high position, their mentality will naturally be different from before." He Lingsheng sneered: "Just wait and see, if he can solve this plague, then Jiang An'er, I will definitely take her into the mansion."
Li Jue noticed that He Lingsheng used the word "accept" and he began to think about it.
Since ancient times, the word "Na" has been used to refer to concubines.
Yes, although Jiang An'er is the descendant of a miracle doctor, she comes from the countryside, is very uncouth, knows nothing about etiquette and manners, and acts condescending all day long. Not to mention that His Highness doesn't like her, no one in the mansion likes her.
After a few days, He Jingheng's legs had mostly recovered, and with the help of the spiritual spring water, he could already walk on his own.
It's a hundred times of broken bones. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, I'm afraid I would still be sitting in a wheelchair now.
The day before Yun Ting was arranged by Yun Qi to go to the Western Regions, she came to say goodbye to He Jingheng.
"Sir, I will set off for the Western Regions tomorrow."
"Yes." He Jingheng said in a deep voice: "The Western Region is not as smooth as before, so you must be careful and cautious."
"Yes." Yun Ting's face lit up with joy, thinking that He Jingheng was concerned about her. Looking at the secret guards under the prince, there were very few things that he had instructed her about.
Just when she was feeling complacent, He Jingheng's words shattered all her fantasies.
"The forces in the Western Region are complicated. If you provoke someone you shouldn't, I can't protect you."
Yun 꽭, who was standing behind him, sneered.
Said to Yunqi: "Every time she goes on a mission, the prince always warns her. In fact, it's because she easily gets into trouble, and she doesn't even realize it."
Yunqi glanced at him. How could he feel comfortable saying half a catty as much as two?
At this moment, Shang Ruoyi came behind them and asked, "Is He Jingheng in the room?"
"Here I am."
Shang Ruoyi nodded and walked straight into the room.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, he heard Yun Ting's voice: "Sir, how are we going to deal with Shangnian's concubine's daughter in the future? Are we going to find a courtyard to house her like we did in the beginning?"
To put it nicely, it is resettlement; to put it bluntly, it is confinement.
He Jingheng whispered, "Just take care of your own business. It's better not to take care of things that don't require your attention."
"But..." Yun Ting thought for a moment and whispered, "The prince married her because he was wise and you didn't believe her at first. Besides, isn't it all because of that old bastard Shangnian that the Shang family has become what it is now?"
He Jingheng frowned and said impatiently, "You don't understand what this prince said, right? Shang Ruoyi is my prince's consort, and she is your mistress. As a servant who talks about the master behind his back, I think you should go back to the Dark Guard Pavilion and train again."
Yun Ting's face turned a little pale when she heard this. She never expected that He Jingheng would say this.
“Prince, I am… I am…”
"Okay." He Jingheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Once you go to the Western Regions, you can't come back at will without my order."
Yun Ting's face turned completely pale. Didn't her master mean to not let her come back?
She retreated to the door and almost bumped into Shang Ruoyi.
"Greetings, Master Lingjun." Her eyes were slightly red, and she bowed awkwardly, then left quickly.
When He Jingheng heard Yun Ting's voice, he knew that she had overheard the conversation just now.
Sighed: "Why don't you come in?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled slightly, "Seeing that the prince was saying goodbye to his subordinates and seemed to be in a bad mood, I didn't want to disturb him." She walked into the room and smiled, "I didn't expect that there was such a wonderful person around the prince, who actually reached into the prince's room to take charge of things."
"Yun Ting has been by my side since she was a child, and she really cares about me too much." He Jingheng saw that she was speaking with sarcasm, but there was a smile on his face.
"Since he has been raised by your side since he was a child, he must have a deep relationship with the prince."
He Jingheng nodded: "I guess so!"
Shang Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him when she heard him say that, then squatted at his feet and said coldly, "Legs, let me take a look."
He Jingheng smiled and showed his wound: "It's almost healed."
He walked a few more steps, and Shang Ruoyi nodded and said coldly: "In this case, I won't have to come again in the future."
He Jingheng just sat in the wheelchair, his expression paused: "Why?"
"The prince's leg has healed, why should I continue to come?"
She put away her medicine box and threw it to the door. Yunqi quickly took it.
Shang Ruoyi gave him an admiring look: "He has good skills, good reactions, and good foresight. How about you give him to me, Prince?"
Yunqi was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He Jingheng didn't even think about it, and said in a deep voice: "Yun Qi can't do it. Many people know him. It's not easy for his face to appear in the eyes of too many people. Look at the others."
Yun Xiao, who was standing next to her, straightened her back, knowing that she was not only the Crown Prince's Consort, but also Master Lingjun!
Shang Ruoyi glanced at him, then closed her eyes and said calmly, "No one else is worthy of your respect."
Yun Xiao blinked, wondering if she was being disliked.
"Since the prince is unwilling to give up, then give me a discount! How much silver do you think your legs and the prince's life are worth?"
He Jingheng stood up from his wheelchair, walked up to her, and said with a smile, "Have we figured it out so clearly?"
"What did the prince say? Of course I have to calculate it more clearly. As the saying goes, 'Brothers should settle accounts clearly'. What's more, we are not even brothers, so what is the relationship?" Shang Ruoyi thought about it and smiled, "We can be considered roommates!"
