Everyone is trying their best

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

He had doubts in his heart. Why did His Highness put Lady Pei under house arrest? Could it be that Lady Pei didn't sell the prescription, or that she bumped into His Highness? But when she came out just now, she looked so happy, so it shouldn't look like that.

While he was thinking about it, the bead curtain shook, and Xiao Beiheng came out and walked to the back garden.

"Lin Kui, follow me."

Lin Kui quickly followed Xiao Beiheng and asked cautiously:

"Master, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. I wonder why you want to keep her?"

Xiao Beiheng turned around and glanced at him coldly and said: "As my prince's adviser, how come you can't even tell this clearly? How can you be confused by just a prescription?"

Lin Kui didn't know why his master suddenly lost his temper, and he quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "There are many people with intestinal dysentery in the army. When I saw that this medicine was suitable for the symptoms, I was overjoyed. Please punish me, master."

Xiao Beiheng stopped and said slowly: "You come from a medical family, so that's what you are used to. I don'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 that Dr. Hua's Yishengtang was selling this medicine, he asked Dr. Hua and learned that they were a business couple who lived temporarily in Daliang Village. The man's surname was Pei and the woman's surname was Ming. He didn't ask any more questions.

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

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he could not figure out the identity of this woman, and he did not understand what else needed to be dug out.

"This subordinate is stupid, please express it clearly to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Beiheng sneered: "Do you think there are a few people in the world who can bear the surname Pei, and they are a couple who live here temporarily? Looking at the appearance of Mrs. Pei...is all this such a coincidence?"

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and walked into the moon gate in the back garden.

Lin Kui was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing, with a look of shame on his face. He stood up and followed Xiao Beiheng into the garden. When he looked around and there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said:

"My subordinates are so stupid that they didn't consider these connections. Since Xiao Zhuo is in Daliang Village, should we send someone there immediately..."

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

Unknown to others, he, as the crown prince's personal adviser, knew everything. This time the prince sent the crown prince to Liangzhou in order to depose the crown prince Xiao Zhuo.

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

Xiao Beiheng stood in front of a flower tree, with his hands behind his back, admiring the light yellow flowers on the branches with interest, and said without looking back:

"Where do you think Xiao Zhuo will be at this time, Daliang Village?"

Lin Kui saw Xiao Beiheng's sarcastic words and quickly closed his mouth.

The prince will not care if he is stupid once in a while. After all, a wise man will make mistakes one after another. But if he makes mistakes one after another, it means that he is not worthy of his current position.

It has been four hours since he talked to Doctor Hua about buying prescriptions in the morning. It will be dark soon. Xiao Zhuo must have expected that something happened to the abandoned princess. How could he still be obedient? Wait where you are.

Just because Xiao Zhuo was crippled, it doesn't mean that his brain was crippled as well.

If you really want to send someone to assassinate him, not only will you miss him, but you will also be able to scare the snake away.

"His Royal Highness, I already understand," Lin Kui said with a sudden realization in his eyes, "His Royal Highness, are you going to use this woman as bait to lure Xiao Zhuo into an urn?"

Xiao Beiheng nodded slightly in response.

Lin Kui then thought: If Xiao Zhuo didn't come to look for him, wouldn't their efforts have been in vain?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "An arrest notice is being posted in the county. How could Xiao Zhuo put himself in danger for a mere woman?"

He knew very much about the life of the amazingly talented former prince Xiao Zhuo, but he knew nothing about Xiao Zhuo's emotions. Now from what the prince said, could it be that he was an infatuated person?

Xiao Beiheng broke off a flower, twirled it between his fingers and said:

"Xiao Zhuo is a proud man. Even for the sake of face, there is no way he won't come to the rescue. He will definitely come."

As he spoke, he threw the petals in his hand under his feet, crushed them into pieces and stamped them into the soil. He walked to a stone table and sat down.

"Even if Xiao Zhuo doesn't come to the rescue, do you think Shen Yuexi, who can make such a miraculous medicine, is an ordinary person? Wouldn't it be wonderful 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 repeatedly and replied: "What the prince said is true, it's because my subordinates are stupid."

Xiao Beiheng stood up and reached out to pat his shoulder, smiling: "It's normal for you not to understand Xiao Zhuonai. Even this prince didn't expect that Shen Yuexi, who has been locked up in the Duke's Mansion since he was a child, actually Will have such ability."

While they were talking, a servant entered through the Moon Gate. He came to the two of them and reported:

"His Royal Highness, the spies seeking information have returned."

Lin Kui said to his servant: "Speak."

The servant said: "After Wu Mingzi, the commander of the imperial guard, came to Liangzhou, he went to secretly meet with the prefect Liu Yi. The specific content of the discussion cannot be known. However, the prefect Liu Yi then raised 10,000 troops and divided them into four groups, according to the southeast Northwest direction, heading to the border of Liangzhou respectively."

After Lin Kui heard this, he first glanced at Xiao Beiheng. When he saw the latter meditating calmly, he waved his hand and ordered the servant to leave.

"Your Highness, Liangzhou is not a border. Why did Governor Liu suddenly send troops? Even to clear out the mountain bandits, we don't need so many people."

Xiao Beiheng raised his head from his deep thoughts and said:

"It seems we are not the only ones who want Xiao Zhuo's life."

Lin Kui was surprised and asked: "Is it your Majesty..."

"First I misjudged Shen Yuexi, and now I can't even see through His Majesty," Xiao Beiheng shook his head mockingly, "I have always thought that Your Majesty at least has a father-son relationship with him and will not kill him all."

"If His Highness the Crown Prince's guess is to be followed, then the attack in Shengzhou is..."

"Yes, at first I couldn't guess who did it. But with this incident, I can connect it with His Majesty."

Xiao Beiheng said, speeding up his pace and walking towards the garden door, muttering to himself:

"I still don't see things thoroughly enough. I need to continue to hone myself and not 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. As long as we deal with the deposed prince according to the prince's wishes, the prince will naturally trust you even more, and maybe he will hand over the Beiding Army to you. Take charge. Then we..."

Hearing this, Xiao Beiheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Lin Kui with a cold gaze.

Lin Kui felt as if he was being stared at by a bloodthirsty tiger. His legs trembled and he almost wanted to retreat. But he seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.

"My son serves his father without any selfish motives."

"Yes...yes, my subordinate made a mistake!"

Lin Kui swallowed and lowered his head in response, not daring to raise his eyes to look at Xiao Beiheng.

Xiao Beiheng withdrew his dangerous gaze and looked calm again.

"Let's not mention this anymore. Arrange Leng Shuang to serve Shen Yuexi personally. We must make her stay comfortable."
