Chapter 203 Plan Failed
"So that's how it is." Xiaoyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Xiaoyin didn't ask any more questions, Ling Xiyue was relieved. Then, she asked, "Why don't we ask a doctor to come over and ask him about it so we can take precautions?"
"Of course. After returning to the yard, I will ask Doctor Hu to come over." Xiaoyin responded readily.
"Okay, you go and arrange it." Ling Xiyue nodded with a smile.
After Xiaoyin helped Ling Xiyue back to the yard, she went to invite Doctor Hu from the mansion in person.
Ling Xiyue was sitting in the room waiting for Doctor Hu.
In a quarter of an hour, Doctor Hu arrived at Ling Xiyue's yard.
Ling Xiyue was a little shocked to see Doctor Hu working so quickly.
"Doctor Hu, please take a seat."
"Greetings to Her Majesty. I'd better stand." Doctor Hu bowed first and politely declined Ling Xiyue's kindness.
Seeing this, Ling Xiyue did not force him. She said kindly, "Doctor Hu, I asked Doctor Hu to come here today because I have something to ask you."
"If your Majesty has anything to say, just give me your instructions." Doctor Hu said respectfully.
"As I think about the upcoming delivery day, I always feel uneasy. I'm always worried that I might do something wrong or eat something wrong, which will lead to a difficult delivery. So, I would like to ask Doctor Hu, what should I not do or eat during these days?" Ling Xiyue directly expressed her thoughts.
Doctor Hu smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Your Highness, don't worry about these things. All the food you eat every day is in accordance with His Highness's requirements and has been carefully checked, so it is very safe and there will be no problems. As for what you can't do, Your Highness, don't be too restrained. Just rest normally and walk around the yard on weekdays."
"Are the things I eat every day made in accordance with Your Highness's requirements?" Ling Xiyue was a little surprised.
"Yes, ever since His Highness knew that the Queen was pregnant, all the food the Queen consumed has been supervised by special people. So, the food the Queen consumes now is very safe, and there is no need to worry." Doctor Hu said with a smile.
When Ling Xiyue heard this, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of disbelief.
Doctor Hu saw Ling Xiyue was stunned and silent, so he continued with a smile: "Your Majesty, His Highness has arranged everything, you just need to rest assured and take care of your baby."
Ling Xiyue finally came to her senses and forced a smile.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Doctor Hu."
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. Just tell me if you have anything to say." Doctor Hu smiled softly.
"Xiaoyin, send Doctor Hu back."
"Yes."
Xiaoyin responded and personally escorted Doctor Hu out of the yard.
Seeing Doctor Hu leave the room, Ling Xiyue's face gradually darkened.
I thought to myself: I had thought that I would learn from Doctor Hu what foods I couldn't eat, and then I would eat them secretly. But I was too naive. His Highness has arranged everything. The foods I eat now have been strictly selected, and I have no chance of coming into contact with anything that is not good for my body. Alas, this plan is probably going to fail.
After Xiaoyin sent Doctor Hu to the gate of the hospital, she returned to her room.
Xiaoyin walked to Ling Xiyue's side and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy this time. You don't have to worry about anything, because His Highness has arranged everything for you."
"Yeah." Ling Xiyue forced a smile, nodded, and said nothing more.
But, I just can't feel happy.
Xiaoyin didn't notice Ling Xiyue's expression and was only concerned about her own happiness.
曲府
Young Master Qu Heng waited in the mansion for several days but received no news from Qu Xiaowan. Fearing that something special had happened, he sent people to bribe the people in Prince Lu's mansion to get the news.
In the afternoon, his follower Xiao Li came into the room to report the situation.
"Master, there is news." Xiao Li bowed first.
"explain."
Xiao Li walked to Qu Heng's side, looked around, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, he whispered, "His Royal Highness Prince Lu still dotes on Madam Su Mei as usual."
"How could that be?" Qu Heng was greatly surprised and stared at Xiao Li with wide eyes.
"Yes, a few days ago, after the eldest son left Prince Lu's Mansion, the second young lady went to His Royal Highness Prince Lu's room. After the second young lady left, His Royal Highness Prince Lu sent someone to the carriage rental shop to inquire about the news. After that, His Royal Highness Prince Lu did not give any other instructions." Xiao Li continued.
"Did you go to the place where you rent a carriage?"
Qu Heng's heart skipped a beat, and soon, he showed a look of horror and exclaimed, "It is very likely that His Royal Highness Prince Lu thought this was a trick of mine, so he chose to believe Su Mei."
Xiao Li was startled, then nodded and said, "It should be."
After Qu Heng glanced at Xiao Li, he couldn't help but slap himself.
"I really should have been beaten. I made a wrong move. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have asked Xiaowan to speak. I should have asked someone irrelevant to speak, so that it would be more convincing. Alas——"
Qu Heng's action startled Xiao Li, who hurriedly advised, "Master, don't do that."
Qu Heng ignored Xiao Li. He was already immersed in self-blame.
"This time, not only did I fail to get rid of Su Mei, but I also made His Royal Highness Prince Lu wary of me. This is really not worth it."
"What should we do then?" Xiao Li asked worriedly.
Qu Heng was silent for a moment, he lowered his head and thought.
Xiao Li looked at Qu Heng and asked tentatively, "Master, do you want to stop here?"
Hearing this, Qu Heng slowly came back to his senses. He said slowly, "After hearing Xiao Wan's hint, His Royal Highness Prince Lu immediately sent people to investigate. From this, we can see that His Royal Highness Prince Lu still had some doubts about Su Mei. He only chose to believe Su Mei after finding out that I had secretly told Xiao Wan."
Qu Heng analyzed it slowly.
"Well, what the eldest master said is absolutely right." Xiao Li agreed.
"But, if the matter between Su Mei and Shi Hui was told by someone else, I don't believe that His Royal Highness Prince Lu can remain so calm and still believe Su Mei?" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Qu Heng's eyes.
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, the eldest master is wise."
Qu Heng felt very happy when he thought of this, and he smiled proudly.
"Su Mei, I will definitely get rid of you and will never let you hinder Xiao Wan's future." Qu Heng's eyes were firm.
"Then, what is the eldest master going to do? Who will he let to talk?" Xiao Li was very curious.
After Qu Heng pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Well, I suddenly thought of someone." Qu Heng looked mysterious.
"Who?" Xiao Li asked urgently.
"Shi Hui's wife Han Min." Qu Heng smiled wickedly.
"Shi Hui's wife? She? Will she tell?" Xiao Li looked confused and puzzled.
"Of course she won't say it herself, but her reactions and actions will betray her." Qu Heng smiled confidently.
"Master, I still don't understand." Xiao Li was still confused.
"You will understand later. Send someone to help me keep an eye on Han Min's whereabouts. If she goes out, tell me immediately. I want to meet her alone." Qu Heng ordered.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Xiao Li responded without hesitation.
