He Jiuniang said, "It's obvious that it's Lin Yiping, but Lin Yiping shouldn't be so stupid as to dare to commit a crime against the wind, right?"
"Yes, Lin Yiping is no fool for being able to scheme against so many people. It's very likely that someone wants to use Lin Yiping to do something and escalate the relationship between the two sides."
Lu Baichuan and He Jiuniang were thinking the same thing; it wouldn't be so easy for the person behind the scenes to treat them like fools.
Prince Chen nodded and continued, "Then who do you think it could be?"
"It's definitely not Prince Jing. He's obviously a complete novice. He was just busy joining in the fun. The one on the surface is either the Crown Prince or, if Prince Lin has no connection with Lin Yiping, Prince Lin. But I have a feeling that Prince Lin's connection is not simple."
He Jiuniang stated her guess directly, then continued, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that someone else is interfering. It's always best to be cautious. But I still need to go and see Prince Lin in person. After all, he's ill, and His Highness has a very skilled female doctor by his side. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to strengthen the bond between the brothers?"
Prince Chen was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected.
"You mean, you're going to the Prince Lin's residence in person to see if he is Lin Yiping?"
He Jiuniang nodded and said, "Waiting for him to show up on his own is too slow. I don't have that kind of patience. I need to go back to Jingzhou after I finish dealing with this, otherwise my dog will worry."
He Jiuniang was genuinely uninterested in these matters, but Lin Yiping had harassed her repeatedly and even harmed her man. She was unhappy if she didn't deal with him. Besides, this was Lu Baichuan's job, and she was willing to help if she could. If this happened again, she would have to decide what to do next.
She was actually telling Prince Chen that she would only help him this once, and that he shouldn't place all his expectations on her.
Prince Chen wasn't stupid; he understood the meaning behind her words and smiled, "Children really can't be without their parents by their side."
He had considered recruiting He Jiuniang, but it depended on whether she was willing. If she wasn't, he naturally wouldn't force her.
Moreover, even if she was unwilling, Lu Baichuan was still her man, and if he really needed her help, she certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
Seeing that Prince Chen did not intend to force her to stay, He Jiuniang felt relieved. These kinds of things are all about mutual consent, and since their relationship is good now, it's best not to let things get sour. Saying these things is the most appropriate thing to do.
"Since that's the case, then you should make a trip to Prince Lin's residence. I want to see if the Fifth Prince, who seems to have no interest in politics, is really as he appears."
Prince Chen clenched his fists. He hadn't suspected Prince Lin before, because Prince Lin had always seemed indifferent and only wanted to live a carefree life. He never expected that Prince Lin's mind was so deep.
Most importantly, he deliberately tricked Lao Liu and used him as a pawn, which is truly hateful!
"yes."
The two agreed and left the Prince Chen's residence.
It was already dark when He Jiuniang stretched and patted her round belly as soon as she stepped outside, saying, "I'm so full!"
"Only you could get a full meal in a place like this, haha!"
Lu Baichuan reached out and patted her little belly; it was indeed round and plump.
"The point of attending a banquet is to eat, and besides, I've already given a gift, so how can I not eat my fill?"
She looked completely self-righteous, showing no sign of feeling that there was anything wrong with her calm and collected attitude in winning the game.
"Then you probably won't get your money's worth."
Lu Baichuan shook his head with some regret and continued, "After all, that pearl dress is quite expensive."
These words amused He Jiuniang, who slapped him on the shoulder. This man was actually making fun of her!
After joking around for a while, Lu Baichuan said, "It's late today, let's go early tomorrow morning. I don't think Prince Lin is really sick, there's no need to rush."
He Jiuniang said, "Let's do it tomorrow at noon. I can't get up in the morning."
"I'll listen to you."
After saying that, Lu Baichuan helped her into the carriage. He Jiuniang wanted to say that it was not necessary and that she could jump up in one go, but after thinking about it, she still put on a gentle and weak appearance to give Lu Baichuan an opportunity.
Even He Jiuniang herself found it unbelievable that she would make so many changes for a man.
Ironically, she didn't think this change was bad; on the contrary, she really liked the feeling of being taken care of at any time.
The next day at noon, after the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they set off for Prince Lin's residence, carrying a visiting card from Prince Chen's residence, and paid their respects in Prince Chen's name.
The gatekeeper of the Prince Lin's mansion looked at the two men, who had distinguished themselves, and asked somewhat nervously, "What brings you here?"
Lu Baichuan replied, "Our Highness heard that Prince Lin was unwell, so he specially invited Doctor He to examine him. Doctor He's medical skills are superb, and he will surely be able to cure His Highness's illness."
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately said, "It's really unfortunate. Our Highness went out early this morning, saying he wasn't feeling well and needed to rest. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but since he's not here, we can only apologize for your visit."
The two were genuinely surprised that Prince Lin had run away so quickly, and said, "That's really bad timing."
He Jiuniang smiled and said, "We are just following orders. We don't know which courtyard Prince Lin has outside the city. We have nothing to do, so let's go and take a look. We hope to cure His Highness's illness as soon as possible, so that I can go back and report back."
The gatekeeper looked troubled: "This...this isn't quite right, is it? My lord said he needs to rest!"
“Rest is indeed necessary, but we are not there to cause trouble. We are there to treat His Highness and help alleviate his suffering from the illness. So, not only will we not disturb him, but we can also help him. What do you think?”
He Jiuniang looked at the gatekeeper with a warm smile. It was the first time the gatekeeper had ever seen such a beautiful woman smile at him. His heart raced, and he felt dizzy. He nodded immediately and said, "Yes, yes, what you say makes sense!"
Lu Baichuan's face darkened immediately. He pulled He Jiuniang behind him and asked, "Then tell me the address of the villa."
The doorman felt something was amiss, but then thought the beautiful woman was right, so he actually told her the location.
The two got into the car and left, Lu Baichuan's face remained sour.
"What's wrong with you? You're not happy even though you know the address?"
I can't feel happy.
How could that be?
Lu Baichuan looked at her bright face and was speechless for a long time.
He didn't know how to start the conversation. Should he say it was because she was too beautiful and eye-catching?
Or perhaps it's because others saw her?
But none of this was her fault, so what reason did he have to be angry with her?
However, he wasn't angry, just a little annoyed. If he didn't have important business to attend to, he would have cleaned up the doorman's place just now!
