I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

Chapter 167 Hiding the Emperor’s Illness from Xiyue

After entering Prince Yan's Mansion, Ling Junqi and Shi Hui went to work.

He Tingxi helped Ling Xiyue back to her room.

In the room, He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue sat down and talked alone.

Ling Xiyue thought about Jian Ye Shen's return to his hometown, and she asked He Tingxi.

"You said Divine Doctor Jian, he didn't ask for 10,000 taels of silver, he just asked for some rare medicinal herbs, did you really only give him the herbs and no additional silver? He has to live when he returns, how can he survive without silver?"

"I was just about to tell you about this. Don't worry, I have already instructed Butler Xiao to put a small box into Brother Jian's medicine box while he is not paying attention. The small box contains one hundred taels of gold. When Brother Jian opens the medicine box, he will find it." He Tingxi smiled slightly.

"Was it just now? Was it after breakfast?" Ling Xiyue asked anxiously.

"Well, we can only release it at that time." He Tingxi said with a smile.

Ling Xiyue nodded with satisfaction. "This is a very good arrangement. Although Doctor Jian is righteous, he can't really not give money. After all, money is the guarantee of life."

"I didn't expect that Xiyue, you and I have the same opinion on this. I thought you would say something about me? I didn't expect that." He Tingxi sighed.

"I'm talking about you? Why should I talk about you?" Ling Xiyue was confused.

"I just gave Brother Jian so much money. I'm afraid you will accuse me of wasting money." He Tingxi said cautiously.

Seeing this, Ling Xiyue smiled.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why are you afraid of what I say? The money in Prince Yan's Mansion is all yours. You can decide how to spend it. Why do you care about my opinion?"

"How can I not care about your opinion? You are my wife, and everything about me will be under your control from now on. I will definitely discuss things with you, right?" He Tingxi looked affirmative.

Ling Xiyue was stunned, and was deeply moved. She asked tentatively, "You said that everything you have is under my control? What do you mean?"

"What else? Didn't you say everything? That means everything." He Tingxi smiled helplessly.

"Everything? No way?" Ling Xiyue was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Yes, after you give birth to the child, all the affairs of the mansion will be handed over to you. From now on, if Butler Xiao has something to discuss, just come to you directly and don't need to ask me again." He Tingxi nodded and smiled.

"Are you so confident? What if I fail to do it well and it affects you?" Ling Xiyue asked.

"I am very confident in your management of money. Just like Brother Jian's matter today, if I give it to you, you will also give Brother Jian money, right? You will not treat unfairly those who have helped us." He Tingxi analyzed.

"That's true. We can't mistreat those who are willing to follow us, otherwise it will disappoint them. When people get along with each other, it's all mutual. We can't just covet other people's efforts and do nothing ourselves. If others treat us sincerely, we should repay them." Ling Xiyue nodded in agreement.

He Tingxi was very satisfied with Ling Xiyue's words. A smile appeared on his face and he reached out and held Ling Xiyue's hand.

"Xiyue, that's why I trust you. If you help me take care of all the affairs in the mansion, I can free up more time to do my own things."

As soon as He Tingxi finished speaking, Ling Xiyue thought of the emperor. She really wanted to know He Tingxi's attitude.

"Ting Xi, why did our father see Divine Doctor Jian off yesterday? Did he want Divine Doctor Jian to check his health?" Ling Xiyue asked tentatively.

He Tingxi was stunned. Thinking of the emperor's condition, he looked at Ling Xiyue's belly. He hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.

"Yes, father wants Brother Jian to help check my body. But don't worry, they are just minor problems, nothing serious." He Tingxi felt a little guilty and avoided Ling Xiyue's gaze.

Ling Xiyue saw all of He Tingxi's words and deeds. She felt somewhat sad, but she did not expose He Tingxi.

"Oh, that's it. It's okay."

"Well, you don't have to think too much now, just take care of your health. The baby will be born in more than a month. You must not let anything affect your mood, otherwise, it will be bad for giving birth to the baby." He Tingxi reminded.

"Okay, I know." Ling Xiyue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Xiyue, you should have a rest. I have things to do, so I can't accompany you." He Tingxi let go of Ling Xiyue's hand and stood up.

Ling Xiyue also stood up and asked, "Tingxi, would you like to come over and rest tonight?"

He Tingxi was stunned for a moment, then he touched Ling Xiyue's head and comforted her, "I will definitely come. Yesterday, I just happened to have something urgent to deal with, and I thought it would be very late after dealing with it, so I didn't want to disturb you. Don't think too much."

"Okay, I understand." Ling Xiyue nodded obediently.

"I'm going to be busy. You take a rest." He Tingxi said, turned around and left the room.

Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi's back and muttered in her heart: As I guessed, His Highness didn't plan to tell me about the emperor's affairs. Did he not want me to worry and affect the baby in my belly? He wanted to handle everything by himself? But, he forgot that we are in the same boat. I can't just sit there and watch. If there is a chance, I will definitely help him become the crown prince, or even the emperor.

He Tingxi returned to the study. At this moment, Ling Junqi and Shi Hui were already waiting there.

Even Butler Xiao had been waiting in the study for a long time.

"Your Highness."

As soon as they saw He Tingxi come in, Ling Junqi, Shi Hui and Butler Xiao immediately bowed.

He Tingxi first looked at Butler Xiao.

"Butler Xiao, has the small box been put in?"

"I came here to tell Your Highness about this. As soon as I saw Doctor Jian and Your Highness walk away, I immediately put the small box into the medicine box." Butler Xiao replied.

"Well, very good, thank you for your hard work, get busy." He Tingxi nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Butler Xiao bowed and left the study.

Ling Junqi was confused by what he heard. After Butler Xiao left, he asked curiously, "Your Highness, what's in the small box? Why are you so cautious and don't let Divine Doctor Jian know?"

He Tingxi walked towards the desk.

"It's 100 taels of gold. I gave it to Brother Jian. I thought he didn't want the taels of silver, so I used this gold as compensation for him."

After saying that, He Tingxi walked to his seat and sat down.

"I see." Ling Junqi suddenly realized, then smiled and said, "When Divine Doctor Jian finds out, he will probably be shocked."

"I've wasted his time for half a year. I can't just do nothing, right? He said no, but I can't really not give it to him." He Tingxi said lightly with a thoughtful expression.

"Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right. Your Highness is kind and righteous." Ling Junqi said respectfully.

"He has worked so hard. He has been acting with me for half a year." He Tingxi sighed.

Shi Hui smiled when he heard this, "Divine Doctor Jian also gained something. His trip to the capital has made him even more famous."
