Chapter 41

Lin Kui was guarding the corridor and saw Shen Yuexi entering the room at the end, and a maid was guarding the door.

He was puzzled.Why did His Royal Highness put Mrs. Pei under house arrest?Could it be that Mrs. Pei did not sell that prescription, or did she offend His Royal Highness?But when she came out just now, her face was full of joy, it shouldn't be like that.

While pondering, the bead curtain shook, Xiao Beiheng came out and walked towards the back garden.

"Lin Kui, come with me."

Lin Kui hurriedly followed Xiao Beiheng, and asked cautiously:
"Master, forgive me for overstepping. I don't know why you want to keep her?"

Xiao Beiheng glanced back at him coldly, and said, "As the counselor of my son, why can't I even be clear about this matter. Just a mere prescription can confuse you?"

Lin Kui didn't know why his master suddenly lost his temper, and quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "There are many bowel troubles in the army, and my subordinates are pleasantly surprised when they see that this medicine is right for the disease. Please punish me, master."

Xiao Beiheng stopped in his tracks, and said slowly: "You come from a family of doctors, it's because of your habits. This son doesn't blame you. It's just that you can't even tell the identity of this woman, which really disappoints me."

Lin Kui was stunned.

When he saw Doctor Hua's Yishengtang selling this medicine, he asked Doctor Hua and learned that it was a couple of merchants who lived temporarily in Daliang Village.The man's surname is Pei, and the woman's surname is Ming.He didn't ask any more questions.

After all, there are so many miraculous medicines in the world, and it is not uncommon for a couple to have a good cure, which may have been passed down from their ancestors.

Now His Royal Highness Shizi said that he couldn't see the identity of this woman, and he didn't understand what else needed to be dug deeper.

"Your subordinate is stupid, so please make it clear to His Royal Highness."

Xiao Beiheng sneered: "Do you think there are a few couples in this world who can be named Pei and live here temporarily. And look at the appearance of Mrs. Pei... Is it all so coincidental?"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the moon gate in the back garden.

Lin Kui was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses with a look of shame on his face.He got up and followed Xiao Beiheng into the garden, looking around for no one, he lowered his voice and said:
"The subordinates are so stupid that they didn't even consider these connections. Since Xiao Zhuo is in Daliang Village, should we send someone there immediately..."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and swiped across his neck.

Others don't know, but as the son's personal adviser, he knows it clearly.This time the lord sent his son to Liangzhou to get rid of the crown prince Xiao Zhuo.

A great opportunity is right in front of you, and you can't let people run away.

Xiao Beiheng stood in front of a flower tree, with his hands behind his back, admiring the pale yellow flowers on the branches with great interest, and said without looking back:
"Where do you think Xiao Zhuo will be at this time, Daliang Village?"

Seeing Xiao Beiheng's sarcasm, Lin Kui quickly shut his mouth.

If you are stupid once in a while, Shizi won't care.After all, a wise man is bound to miss something.But making mistakes one after another, it means that he is not worthy of the current position.

It has been four hours since he talked with Doctor Hua about buying prescriptions in the morning.It was going to be dark soon, Xiao Zhuo must have expected that something happened to the abandoned princess.How could you still obediently wait in place.

Xiao Zhuo being crippled doesn't mean that his brain is also crippled.

If you really want to send someone to assassinate him, not only will you be in vain, but it will also be tantamount to scaring the snake.

"His Royal Highness, this subordinate already understands," Lin Kui said with a sudden realization in his eyes, "Your Royal Highness wants to use this woman as a bait to lure Xiao Zhuo into the urn?"

Xiao Beiheng nodded slightly as a response.

Lin Kui then thought: If Xiao Zhuo didn't come to look for it, wouldn't their efforts be wasted.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "The county seat is posting arrest notices, how could Xiao Zhuo put himself in danger for a mere woman?"

He knew very well about the life of the stunningly talented former prince Xiao Zhuo, but he knew nothing about Xiao Zhuo's emotions.Now listening to what the son said, could it be possible that he is an infatuated kind?

Xiao Beiheng broke off a flower, twirled it between his fingers and said:
"Xiao Zhuo is a proud person, even if it's for the sake of face, it is impossible not to come to rescue him. He will definitely come."

While speaking, he threw the petals in his hand under his feet, crushed them into pieces and stepped them into the soil, walked to a stone table and sat down.

"Even if Xiao Zhuo doesn't come to save her. Shen Yuexi, who can make such a miraculous drug, would you think she is an ordinary person? Wouldn't it be beautiful if this person could be used by me."

Xiao Beiheng said with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.

Lin Kui nodded again and again, and replied: "What the son said is true, but this subordinate is stupid."

Xiao Beiheng stood up and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, smiling: "It's normal for you not to understand Xiao Zhuo, even this son didn't expect that Shen Yuexi, who was locked up in the Duke's mansion since she was a child, would have So capable."

While talking, a servant entered through the moon gate.Come before the two and report:
"His Royal Highness, the spies who inquired about the news have returned."

Lin Kui said to the servant, "Speak."

The servant said: "When Wu Mingzi, the commander of the imperial guards, came to Liangzhou, he went to meet with the prefect Liu Yi in secret. The specific content of the discussion is unknown. But the prefect Liu Yi then raised [-] troops and divided them into four groups. To the northwest, head to the border of Liangzhou respectively."

After hearing this, Lin Kui first glanced at Xiao Beiheng.Seeing the latter meditating there calmly, he waved his servants to retreat.

"His Royal Highness, Liangzhou is not a border. Why did Prefect Liu suddenly send troops? It would not take so many people to suppress bandits."

Xiao Beiheng raised his head from deep thought, and said:
"It seems that we are not the only ones who want Xiao Zhuo's life."

Lin Kui was taken aback and asked, "Could it be His Majesty..."

"First I misunderstood Shen Yuexi, but now even His Majesty can't see through it." Xiao Beiheng shook his head mockingly, "This son always thought that His Majesty at least has a father-son affection for him, and will not kill them all."

"If His Royal Highness guessed, then the attack in Shengzhou is..."

"That's right, at first I couldn't figure out who did it. But with this incident, I can connect with His Majesty."

As Xiao Beiheng said, he quickened his pace and walked towards the gate of the garden, talking to himself:

"I still don't see things clearly enough, I still need to keep tempering myself, and I can't waste every moment..."

Lin Kui followed closely behind him, and comforted him:
"His Royal Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. No matter what His Majesty thinks, we don't have to worry about it. Just get rid of the deposed prince according to the prince's wishes. The prince will naturally trust you to a higher level, and maybe he will hand over the Beiding Army to you Take charge. When the time comes we..."

Hearing this, Xiao Beiheng suddenly stopped, turned his head, and stared at Lin Kui sternly.

Lin Kui felt as if he was being stared at by a bloodthirsty tiger, his legs trembled, and he wanted to back away.But it seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move.

"This son serves the father and king without any selfish intentions."

"Yes... yes, the subordinate made a slip of the tongue!"

Lin Kui swallowed, and lowered his head to respond, not daring to raise his eyes to meet Xiao Beiheng's gaze.

Xiao Beiheng withdrew his dangerous eyes, and returned to look okay.

"Don't mention this, arrange Leng Shuang to serve Shen Yuexi personally, and make sure that she lives comfortably."
