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

Ling Xiyue asked the coachman to stop the carriage half a mile away from the Second Prince's residence. She didn't want the coachman to know where she was going.

She walked to a deserted place, then pressed the white jade on her neck, became invisible, and walked towards the gate of the Second Prince's residence.

Because the door is open and you can come and go as you please.

Ling Xiyue walked into the Second Prince's mansion with confidence and found that the layout of the mansion was the same as that of the First Prince. She was overjoyed.

So, according to her impression of the eldest prince's mansion, she found the second prince's study.

There were also two guards guarding the door, but it did not affect Ling Xiyue's entry at all.

As soon as Ling Xiyue entered, she saw He Jingcheng sitting at the desk reading a book. Ling Xiyue was curious, so she walked over to He Jingcheng and wanted to see what book it was.

Ling Xiyue took a closer look and found that it was a book about strategy.

I muttered to myself: No wonder the second prince is so cunning, it turns out he always reads these books.

She walked around the desk but didn't see any "suspicious" letters on it, and she was very depressed.

Just then, she heard a voice coming from outside the door.

"Your Highness, it's me, Fang Di."

"Come in." He Jingcheng heard the voice and put down the book.

Soon, Fang Di walked into the study, stopped in front of the desk, and saluted, "Your Highness."

As soon as He Jingcheng saw Fang Di, he got straight to the point.

"What happened? Did Jian Ye Shen enter the palace?"

"He has already entered the palace. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has been accompanying him and has also sent many guards to protect him." Fang Di said truthfully.

"A lot? How much? Give me an exact number." He Jingcheng said with a straight face.

Fang Di panicked when he saw this. He tried to recall, and after a while, he said, "It should be, without exception, twenty people."

He Jingcheng stared at Fang Di without saying anything.

Fang Di was obviously guilty when he saw this. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, it's twenty people."

He Jingcheng let out a faint sigh at Fang Di's guilty expression.

"Forget it. From now on, you have to be rigorous in your work. Got it?"

"Yes, I know." Fang Di responded quickly.

"I guess that Jian Ye Shen is a person who is used to living in seclusion and he probably won't have dinner in the palace. So, before the hour of You, He Tingxi will take Jian Ye Shen away from the palace. Have we arranged all our people?" He Jingcheng got to the point.

"Everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for Jian Ye Shen and the others to pass by." Fang Di looked affirmative.

He Jingcheng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "How many people did you send to cooperate secretly?"

"I followed your highness's instructions and made the following arrangements: I first sent three people to play the sick family. Then, in order to force Jian Ye Shen to help, I arranged ten people to play the role of enthusiastic citizens, specifically to stir up trouble and sensationalize. In order to divert the attention of the twenty guards, I arranged thirty experts to pretend to attack your highness. When the guards were too busy to take care of Jian Ye Shen, I had the experts hiding in the dark shoot Jian Ye Shen to death with hidden arrows."

Fang Di informed He Jingcheng of the detailed arrangements one by one.

He Jingcheng was very satisfied when he heard this.

"Good, very good. This arrangement is perfect. I don't believe that Jian Ye Shen can escape. After all, in the guards' minds, He Tingxi's life is more important. The guards' minds will definitely be on He Tingxi. This way, we have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

After He Jingcheng finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

"Ha ha--"

Seeing this, Fang Di also smiled.

Ling Xiyue, who was standing next to He Jingcheng, was dumbfounded when she heard this.

Soon, she realized that she couldn't stay here any longer, so she hurried out of the study.

After Ling Xiyue left the Second Prince's Mansion, she walked on the road, thinking: What should I do? Should I go back to Prince Yan's Mansion? If I go back, Butler Xiao will definitely not let me out. Go find my brother? Ask him to go for support? No, my brother's life is more important than my life. If anything happens to him, my mission will be considered a failure. Besides, if he asks how I knew it, how should I answer? I must not tell him about my invisibility.

After some consideration, Ling Xiyue finally made up her mind to go alone.

She was walking alone on the street, watching the people coming and going. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a plan came to her mind.

……

However, on the way to the palace, He Tingxi and Jian Ye Shen rode in a carriage together, and Shi Hui rode in front to lead the way.

In the carriage, Jian Ye Shen saw that there were no outsiders. He looked at He Tingxi's leg and asked curiously, "Your Highness, how did you get your leg injured? It was fine before you returned to Beijing. Who was so cruel to you?"

He Tingxi looked at Jian Yeshen. He did not hide anything and told the story slowly.

"On the first day of March, I went to pay tribute to my brother who had died for me. I thought that this operation was very secretive and no one would know about it, so I only brought two or three men with me. Unexpectedly, Ayong betrayed me, allowing He Jingcheng to take advantage of the situation and kill my men. He also cut my arm and pushed me off the cliff. Fortunately, God did not abandon me. I was saved by my princess and saved my life."

The more Jian Ye Shen listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. When he heard the word "Princess", he asked curiously.

"Princess Yan? Did you know each other then?"

"At that time, I didn't know. I searched for a long time before I realized that the person who saved me was right next to me." He Tingxi smiled faintly.

Jian Ye Shen recalled He Tingxi's tenderness towards Ling Xiyue during the meal, and he suddenly realized it. He praised: "The Princess of Yan is a kind-hearted person."

He Tingxi smiled and continued, "Yes. That day, after I returned to the mansion, I thought about it for a long time. I thought that since I was 18 years old, I have been staying in the military camp and there is no one in the court. I might as well take this opportunity to pretend to have a leg disease and show weakness to He Jingcheng, so that He Jingcheng and others will relax their vigilance against me, and I can secretly cultivate my power."

Jian Ye Shen's eyes were full of disbelief when he heard this. He looked at He Tingxi's legs and exclaimed, "Your Highness, so your knees are normal."

"Yeah." He Tingxi nodded seriously.

At this moment, Jian Yeshen had many thoughts flashing through his mind, and he began to guess.

"Now, Your Highness, you have been named the King of Yan, and you have a certain network of contacts in the court. It's time to recover. However, your knees can't be healed for no reason, so you thought of me and wanted me to cooperate with you and put on a show, right?"

"Brother Jian, you are indeed wise. That's exactly what you mean." He Tingxi said with a smile.

Jian Ye Shen just smiled lightly, but soon he realized that today's trip was dangerous, and he reminded: "Your Highness, be careful on this trip?"

"Brother Jian, don't worry, I have already prepared a countermeasure. I know that they will definitely attack us after we leave the palace, so, for now, it's okay." He Tingxi smiled calmly.

"Okay, Your Highness has always been resourceful, I feel at ease." Jian Ye Shen smiled slightly.
