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

Chapter 200 Solve the misunderstanding

When talking about the portrait, Ling Xiyue smiled.

"I really hope that day will come soon. I must find a good girl for my brother."

Seeing Ling Xiyue's happy look, He Tingxi's mood gradually improved, and he smiled and nodded.

"Absolutely."

"Handling my brother's affairs has also put my mind at ease." Ling Xiyue sighed.

"Well, the due date is more than half a month away. Don't think too much. Keep your spirits up so that you will have the strength to give birth to the baby." He Tingxi said considerately.

As soon as the words fell, Ling Xiyue was stunned. After a while, she slowly said, "Yes, giving birth to a child requires physical strength."

There was some fear and worry in his eyes.

He Tingxi noticed Ling Xiyue's thoughts. He moved the stool and sat next to Ling Xiyue. Then he hugged Ling Xiyue and comforted her, "Don't worry. I will ask the best midwife to deliver your baby. I will also arrange for the best doctor to be on call at any time to ensure your safety."

"Yeah." Ling Xiyue nodded and said nothing more.

But I was thinking: Time flies, I will give birth in half a month, is it time to go? By then, Ling Junqi's marriage has been arranged, and Mrs. He has collected evidence, and all she needs to do is expose it. Why not, I will die in childbirth. In this way, He Tingxi will have no reason to blame me, but will feel that she owes me and treat Ling Junqi well.

Seeing that Ling Xiyue looked thoughtful, He Tingxi thought that Ling Xiyue was still worried, so he continued to comfort her.

"Xiyue, don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything. I will never let anything happen to you, trust me."

Hearing He Tingxi's comforting voice, Ling Xiyue was afraid that He Tingxi would think too much, so she responded immediately.

"Okay, I believe you." Ling Xiyue nodded obediently.

Only then did He Tingxi smile with satisfaction.

Lu Palace

He Jingcheng had been waiting for Fang Di in his room. He could not calm down when he thought about Su Mei.

After waiting for a long time, Fang Di came back.

As soon as He Jingcheng saw Fang Di, before Fang Di could speak, he asked, "How is the matter going?"

Fang Di walked up to He Jingcheng, bowed first, and then spoke.

"Your Highness, I have already made inquiries clearly."

"What's going on?" He Jingcheng asked anxiously.

"The coachman said that at the time, he didn't know who Madam Sumei was. He just followed his boss's instructions and drove the carriage for Madam Sumei. When the carriage reached a grove, the road ahead was blocked by a small tree, so he got off the carriage to move the tree away. As a result, he was knocked unconscious as soon as he moved the tree away. He didn't know what happened afterwards. After an unknown amount of time, he was rescued by Shi Hui. After waking up, he sat in the front of the carriage with Shi Hui, and Shi Hui drove the carriage back to his shop."

Fang Di confessed the truth.

"Anything to add?" He Jingcheng continued to ask.

"Oh, he said that when Madam Sumei went to rent a carriage, she went to the stable with Young Master Qu to choose horses. Also, when he was driving the carriage out of the capital, he found that Young Master Qu's carriage was secretly following behind. At that time, he thought that Young Master Qu was an acquaintance, so he didn't care." Fang Di added.

"Master Qu? Qu Xiaowan's elder brother?" He Jingcheng was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's him." Fang Di nodded.

He Jingcheng glanced at Fang Di and fell into deep thought.

I was thinking: Qu Heng must know Su Mei, but Su Mei should not know him, otherwise, how could she choose horses with him? Why did he follow Su Mei? Did he also want to take this opportunity to kill Su Mei, but he didn't act because he saw Shi Hui? Hey, why did Qu Xiaowan suddenly come to see me today? Is it because of Qu Heng?

Thinking of this, He Jingcheng shouted outside: "Someone come."

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do for you?" The guard standing outside the door came in and saluted.

"Go and find out whether the princess' brother came to Prince Lu's Mansion today?" He Jingcheng ordered.

"Yes."

The guard responded and retreated.

Seeing this, Fang Di asked curiously, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"Qu Xiaowan came to my place today. I guess her elder brother must have come and said something to her." He Jingcheng said with a straight face when he thought of Qu Xiaowan.

"Her Majesty comes to see Your Highness? I have never seen Her Majesty take the initiative to look for Your Highness. This is so strange." Fang Di was a little shocked.

"Well, so, it must have been Qu Heng who instigated it. He probably wanted to use this incident to sow discord between me and Su Mei." He Jingcheng sounded a little angry.

"Yes, I also think this is possible." Fang Di nodded.

"Moreover, he followed Su Mei, most likely to find the right opportunity to attack Su Mei. Because if Su Mei was in danger outside, it would be difficult to convict him." He Jingcheng still expressed his thoughts.

Fang Di couldn't help but be startled, then nodded.

"Yes, your highness is right."

"Let's wait until the guards come."

"Yes."

Not long after, the guard came into the room to report.

"Your Highness, in the evening, Master Qu did go to the Princess's courtyard and talked to her alone. After that, he went back without disturbing Butler Zhang."

"Okay, got it, back off."

Seeing the guards retreat, He Jingcheng laughed coldly and said, "I was wondering why Qu Xiaowan suddenly came to see me? It turned out that Qu Heng came. He must have said something bad about Su Mei to Qu Xiaowan and asked Qu Xiaowan to sow discord between us."

"Then, what does Your Highness mean?" Fang Di sensed something and asked deliberately.

He Jingcheng couldn't help but snorted coldly when he thought of Qu Xiaowan and Qu Heng.

"If I really punished Sumei, I would have fallen into their trap."

Fang Di nodded.

"Su Mei probably didn't do anything to let me down today. I was just overthinking it." He Jingcheng then sighed.

Fang Di was stunned for a moment, then he understood what He Jingcheng meant and nodded.

"Yes, your highness is right. Moreover, with Shi Hui's character, he would never make that kind of mistake."

He Jingcheng was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized.

"Fang Di, you are right. I almost forgot what kind of person Shi Hui is. I am not sure about others, but Shi Hui is definitely not like that. He has been following He Tingxi since he was a child. If he is a greedy and lustful person with no bottom line, He Tingxi will not reuse or trust him."

Fang Di nodded repeatedly, "I agree with this."

"I almost fell into Qu Xiaowan's trap, luckily I went to investigate." He Jingcheng said with emotion.

"Yes." Fang Di nodded.

"Think about it, this Qu Heng is not a good person. He is cruel and ruthless." There was some anger in He Jingcheng's eyes.

"What about the princess?" Fang Di asked curiously.

"she?"

He Jingcheng thought of Qu Xiaowan, paused, and then sighed.

"She must have been helpless, right? If she was really jealous of Su Mei, she wouldn't have waited until now. She probably couldn't persuade Qu Heng to do it."

After saying this, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Fang Di stared at He Jingcheng blankly, frowning slightly. He asked tentatively, "Your Highness, don't you blame the princess?"

"Blame?"
