Chapter 135: Practicing Walking with Crutches
"Yes, I understand your intentions, Your Highness. We won't tell it." Ling Junqi was stunned for a moment and responded with a smile.
"I don't know how either." Shi Hui also nodded.
"Okay, you guys go ahead." He Tingxi nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes."
He Tingxi watched Shi Hui and Ling Junqi retreat, and he muttered, "How should I explain to Xiyue? How can I avoid the main point?"
He Tingxi was in a dilemma.
He Tingxi originally wanted to have lunch with Ling Xiyue, but when he went to Ling Xiyue's room, he found out that Ling Xiyue had eaten early and gone to bed because she was too tired.
He had no choice but to go back, have his meal alone, and take a rest in the study.
Before noon, Shi Hui brought the crutches to the study. He Tingxi was overjoyed and even tried the "feel" of it.
After half of the afternoon, Jian Ye Shen and Ling Junqi came to the study together.
After everyone arrived, Shi Hui closed the door and everyone discussed what to do in the yard later.
The four of them stood around and none of them sat down.
He Tingxi first looked at Jian Yeshen with an apologetic look on his face.
"Brother Jian, I believe Junqi has already explained the reason to you, so I won't say more here. This matter is the result of my lack of consideration, but I have to ask Brother Jian to help me act again. I am really sorry, Brother Jian."
Jian Ye smiled faintly and shook her head.
"Your Highness, that's not true. It was a happy thing for Your Highness to accompany the Queen for a walk. It was also a surprise to meet His Highness Prince Lu. Your Highness, don't blame yourself."
He Tingxi heard this and nodded. Then he looked at Shi Hui and started to make arrangements.
"Shi Hui, I will practice walking with Brother Jian in the courtyard with a cane in a moment. To make it easier for He Jingcheng's people to find out, you should take the guards from each courtyard away from their posts and bring them to Butler Xiao for a lecture. Just tell them that I will no longer be in a wheelchair and will be using a cane, and that they should keep an eye on me at all times and not allow anything to happen to me. It will probably take about a quarter of an hour."
"Yes, I understand." Shi Hui nodded.
"Junqi, I wanted to go to Xiyue's room just now, but Xiyue was resting, so I didn't disturb her. You go to Xiyue later and chat with her. Don't let Xiyue leave her room for the time being." He Tingxi looked at Ling Junqi and instructed.
"Yes. Then should I tell Her Majesty that His Highness is using a cane?" Ling Junqi still had questions.
"You don't have to say this, just chat about family matters. As for my matter, I will explain it to her in the evening." He Tingxi replied.
"Okay, I understand." Ling Junqi nodded.
"Okay, Shi Hui, Jun Qi, you guys go and get busy." He Tingxi ordered.
"Yes."
After Shi Hui and Ling Junqi left the study, He Tingxi took the cane and said to Jian Yeshen, "Brother Jian, I'll have to trouble you to support me later."
"Okay." Jian Ye Shen walked to He Tingxi, supported He Tingxi, and walked out the door.
Everything went according to He Tingxi's arrangements.
He Tingxi practicing walking in the yard with a cane was also seen by the people bribed by He Jingcheng.
Ling Junqi went to Ling Xiyue's room and chatted with her about family matters, not letting her leave the room.
Ling Xiyue was puzzled by Ling Junqi's behavior. She suspected that it was arranged by He Tingxi, so she did not investigate it further and chatted with Ling Junqi about all sorts of things.
After walking in the yard for an incense stick of time, He Tingxi returned to the study with the help of Jian Yeshen.
After staying inside for a while, Jian Ye Shen left the study.
He Tingxi continued to wait in the study for Shi Hui and Ling Junqi to come.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Hui and Ling Junqi came to the study.
They all reported what they had done, and He Tingxi was very satisfied.
Then, he looked at Shi Hui and ordered, "He Jingcheng's people should have found out something. Shi Hui, send someone to He Jingcheng's house to inquire about He Jingcheng's reaction. If there is anything unusual, you must report it immediately."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Shi Hui replied.
"Junqi, when you return home, tell your father that I can walk with a cane. You don't need to tell the rest of the people for now, I will make arrangements." He Tingxi looked at Ling Junqi and instructed.
"Yes, I understand."
"Okay, let's go."
After seeing Shi Hui, Ling Junqi and others leave, He Tingxi leaned lazily against the back of his chair, thinking about what happened today.
He muttered, "I wanted to get out of bed in March, but now that He Jingcheng has discovered it, I should recover early. I'll just use a cane first, and get rid of it in half a month, right?"
He Tingxi waited until the evening before leaving the study and heading for Ling Xiyue's yard under the escort of the guards.
When they arrived at Ling Xiyue's room, Ling Xiyue walked behind He Tingxi. Seeing this, the guards stepped aside and retreated very conspicuously.
Ling Xiyue pushed He Tingxi's wheelchair to the dining table, pointed at the roast duck on the table, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the roast duck is ready, just waiting for you to come over."
After saying that, Ling Xiyue sat next to He Tingxi.
He Tingxi deliberately went to smell the roast duck, then smiled and praised: "Well, it smells good, it should be delicious."
"Absolutely."
Ling Xiyue picked up a duck leg with chopsticks and put it in He Tingxi's bowl. Then, she also picked up a duck leg and put it in her own bowl.
“Come and try the flavor.”
He Tingxi picked up the duck leg directly with his hands, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"Well, not bad, it tastes great." He Tingxi praised while eating.
Seeing this, Ling Xiyue put down her chopsticks and started eating with her hands. After taking a few bites, she smiled and nodded.
"It's really good. The duck skin is especially crispy. It seems we made the right choice."
"That's right." He Tingxi agreed with a smile.
While eating the duck she had caught, Ling Xiyue felt her appetite increase greatly and she ate a little more than usual without realizing it.
Seeing that Ling Xiyue liked the food, He Tingxi tried his best to give it to Ling Xiyue and ate other dishes himself.
After He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue finished their meal, they saw that there was some roast duck left, so they gave it to Xiaoyin and the maids as a reward.
At the hour of Xu, He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue went to bed to rest.
Ling Xiyue thought of Ling Junqi and had many questions, so she turned sideways to face He Tingxi.
"Tingxi, did you ask my brother to come over and talk to me this afternoon?"
"Yes, I was just about to tell you." He Tingxi also turned sideways to face Ling Xiyue.
"What's the matter? Is it a big deal?" Ling Xiyue couldn't help but become nervous.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. I'm just implementing some plans." He Tingxi comforted.
"Implement the plan?" Ling Xiyue was curious.
"This afternoon, accompanied by Brother Jian, I practiced walking in the yard with a cane," He Tingxi explained.
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then she reacted.
"Tingxi, do you mean that you want to walk earlier? Then how long do you plan to use crutches?"
"About half a month." He Tingxi responded.
"Half a month? That means you will be able to walk before my birthday?" Ling Xiyue was a little excited.
