Chapter 141 Jealousy
After returning to the bedroom, He Lingsheng ordered the palace servants to bring him tea and rinsed his mouth for a long time to get rid of the taste in his mouth.
"Your Highness, why do you still want to eat the food made by Miss Jiang when it is so disgusting?" 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 bounds, 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.
Just because of a steamed bun I gave him when he was dying, he was willing to risk his life to protect me.
He Lingsheng sighed: "Now, Divine Doctor Jiang has won the favor of the emperor. If he can control the plague, he will surely rise to prominence."
"But isn't it because of your promotion that he was able to gain the emperor's favor?"
"Oh, when people reach a high position, their mentality will naturally be different from before." He Lingsheng sneered: "Let's 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 takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. If it weren’t for the spiritual spring water, I’m afraid I would still be 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 leave for the Western Regions tomorrow."
"Yes." He Jingheng said in a deep voice: "The Western Region is not as smooth as Tianshun, so you must be careful."
"Yes." Yun Ting's face lit up with joy, feeling that He Jingheng was concerned about her. Looking at the secret guards under the prince, there were very few who could receive his instructions.
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."
Yuntian, who was guarding outside, sneered.
Said to Yunqi: "Every time she goes on a mission, the prince always gives her some instructions. In fact, it's because she easily gets into trouble, and she doesn't even realize it."
Yunqi glanced at him and said, "It's the same thing as saying eight taels of a catty. How can he have the nerve to say that?"
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: "Prince, how are you going to accommodate Shangnian's concubine's daughter in the future? Are you going to find a courtyard to accommodate her like you 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 meddle in 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 pale when she heard this. She never expected He Jingheng to say this.
"Your Highness, I just, just..."
"Okay." He Jingheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "After you go to the Western Regions, don't come back 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.
He sighed, "Why don't you come in?"
Shang Ruoyi's lips curled 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, smiled and said: "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 has been taking care of 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?"
"Your Highness's leg has healed, so 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."
Yuntian, who was standing next to her, straightened his back. You have to know that she is not only the Crown Prince's consort, but also Master Lingjun!
Shang Ruoyi glanced at him, then closed her eyes and said calmly, "There's really no one else I can look up to."
Yuntian blinked. Was he 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, "Do we have to be so clear about what's going on between us?"
"What did the prince say? Of course we have to settle accounts 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!"
