Chapter 162 Discussing Countermeasures
"Therefore, Your Highness must make preparations in advance." Jian Ye Shen reminded.
"Yes, Brother Jian is right." He Tingxi nodded.
Jian Ye Shen continued to persuade: "Your Highness, while His Majesty's illness is still unknown to everyone, Your Highness should think of a response plan as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand. Brother Jian, under the current circumstances, why don't you go back to your hometown and continue to stay in Prince Yan's Mansion to assist me? " He Tingxi looked at Jian Ye Shen sincerely.
Jian Ye Shen shook his head and patiently persuaded He Tingxi.
"Your Highness, I'd better go back. Everyone knows that we had dinner with His Majesty today, although they don't know what we talked about. If I stay, outsiders will definitely make a lot of speculations. Smart people will definitely guess that His Majesty has health problems. Then, wouldn't that be a confession?"
After listening to Jian Ye Shen's analysis, He Tingxi agreed with Jian Ye Shen's words, but he still felt reluctant.
"Your Highness, I can't do anything about His Majesty's illness, so there's little point in staying. Besides, I only know medicine and know nothing about political schemes. I can't help Your Highness with any advice, so I'd better go back and not add more burden to Your Highness." Jian Ye Shen continued to persuade.
"Brother Jian, I still can't bear to leave you." He Tingxi said reluctantly.
"Your Highness, please invite me over after you ascend the throne. We can get together again then." Jian Ye Shen comforted him.
"Okay." He Tingxi sighed helplessly.
Jian Ye Shen didn't want He Tingxi to worry about his affairs anymore, so he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first."
"Okay, Brother Jian, go and have a rest. You must be tired." He Tingxi nodded in agreement.
Jian Ye Shen nodded to He Tingxi and walked towards the door. He opened the door, went out, and wanted to close the door.
"Brother Jian, you don't need to close the door." He Tingxi said loudly.
"it is good."
As soon as Jian Ye Shen walked out of the study, Shi Hui went to meet him.
"Doctor Jian, did His Highness let me in?" Shi Hui took a special look towards the study.
Jian Ye was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Shi Hui was still standing outside the door. He said apologetically, "Oh, I didn't ask, and he didn't say."
"Really?" Shi Hui was a little surprised, and then muttered: "So should I go in or not?"
Shi Hui hesitated.
Seeing this, Jian Ye Shen helped Shi Hui analyze the situation and said, "How about you wait at the door? If His Highness wants you to come in, wait for a while. If he still doesn't see you, he will naturally call you."
"That makes sense." Shi Hui nodded.
"Master Shi, I'll go back to my room first. You go on with your work." Jian Ye Shen nodded to Shi Hui and walked out.
"Okay, Doctor Jian, take care." Shi Hui said respectfully.
Shi Hui looked towards the study and seeing that He Tingxi didn't call him, he stood quietly at the door.
After Jian Ye Shen left the study, He Tingxi stood up, walked to the desk, sat down, and leaned back in the chair.
He muttered in a low voice: "Speaking of which, does the emperor know his physical condition? Yesterday I was wondering why he wanted to see Brother Jian off, but today it seems that he wanted Brother Jian to treat him. Fortunately, Brother Jian treated the emperor today, otherwise, I would not be able to know the emperor's condition in time. Brother Jian is really my lucky star. It's time for me to prepare a response plan. I can't let He Jingcheng and the others get ahead of me."
After muttering, He Tingxi fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he thought of something, so he sat up straight, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote four names on the paper.
After finishing writing, he put the brush on the pen holder and called out, "Shi Hui, come in."
"Yes."
As soon as Shi Hui entered the study, He Tingxi ordered, "Close the door."
After Shi Hui closed the door, he walked to He Tingxi's desk.
"Your Highness, what were you talking about with Doctor Jian just now? So mysterious?" Shi Hui asked curiously.
He Tingxi looked serious and told Shi Hui everything Jian Ye Shen had told him.
Shi Hui was shocked when he heard this, and it took him a long time before he could speak.
"Has it really gotten that serious?" Shi Hui still couldn't believe it.
"I don't want to believe this is true, but this is what Brother Jian said, how could it be false? You and I both know Brother Jian's medical skills." There was a hint of helplessness in He Tingxi's words.
"The pulse felt by Divine Doctor Jian is genuine." Shi Hui sighed slightly.
"I never expected that my father is only in his forties and still in his prime." When he said this, He Tingxi's heart suddenly ached and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Shi Hui thought of himself and muttered to himself.
"It seems that I still can't indulge myself too much. I have to be more restrained."
Although Shi Hui's muttering was low, He Tingxi still heard it and reminded him.
"So everything should be done in moderation. You can't ignore your body and act without restraint just because you like something."
"Yes, your highness taught me that."
Shi Hui responded obediently, then he remembered the important matter and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do next? We must not let Prince Lu get ahead of us."
"I know, so there is something I need you to do." He Tingxi ordered.
"Your Highness, just give your orders." Shi Hui nodded.
"You go and personally invite my old subordinates to come to Prince Yan's Mansion and tell them that I have something important to discuss." After He Tingxi said this, he handed a piece of paper on the table to Shi Hui.
"Write down all the people you want to invite on this paper."
Shi Hui took the paper, looked down and saw four names.
"Your Highness, the people we want to invite are not in the same place. I'm afraid they won't be back for long." Shi Hui said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter how late it is. I'll wait for you at the mansion." He Tingxi replied.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will do it right away." Shi Hui nodded and prepared to turn around.
"By the way, after arriving at Prince Yan's Mansion, let them come in through the small door on the south side, not through the main gate." He Tingxi ordered.
"Why?" Shi Hui was confused.
"If they enter through the main gate, they will definitely be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. In order to avoid being seen, they can only keep a low profile," He Tingxi explained.
"Okay, I understand. Your Highness, don't worry. I'll take my leave." Shi Hui responded readily and turned to leave.
"Go ahead, don't close the door."
"Yes."
After seeing Shi Hui leave, He Tingxi thought of the emperor's health and felt extremely uncomfortable. Thinking that the emperor would leave him in a year, tears instantly wet his eyes and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He sat in the study for a long time, still unable to recover.
Until the guard outside the door shouted towards the study: "Your Highness, it's time for dinner."
He Tingxi slowly came back to his senses and responded, "I understand."
However, after agreeing, it was a long time before he stood up, wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands, and walked out the door.
When he reached the door, he thought of Ling Xiyue, so he looked at the guard and ordered, "Xiao Ning, go to the princess and tell her that I have something to do and I won't go to her room to rest tonight. Tell her to go to bed early and don't wait for me."
"Yes." Guard Xiao Ning responded and walked towards Ling Xiyue's yard.
