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

Chapter 149 Xiyue smells something strange

Ling Xiyue closed the box and handed it to Xiaoyin who was standing behind her, and Xiaoyin took it.

"As long as you like it." Ling Xiu was in a good mood when he saw that Ling Xiyue liked it.

After He Tingxi saw that the gift-giving session was over, he spoke up, "Let's have dinner."

"Yes."

Everyone was eating quietly. Seeing that He Tingxi didn't say anything, the people from the Ling Mansion didn't dare to say anything.

When Ling Xiyue saw Mrs. He was there, she didn't want to say much, and followed He Tingxi in keeping silent.

Soon, the dinner was over.

After dinner, He Tingxi took the people from the Ling Mansion and walked around the Prince Yan's Mansion, just as if it were a stroll.

He Tingxi deliberately chatted with Ling Xiu about trivial matters at court to pass the time.

Ling Xiyue had no choice but to exchange a few polite words with Madam He and Ling Chuchen.

After it got dark, the people from the Ling Mansion said goodbye to He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue and returned to the Ling Mansion.

He Tingxi asked Butler Xiao to see the guests off.

Ling Xiyue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the people from the Ling Mansion leave.

After half of the evening, He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue went back to their room to rest.

Ling Xiyue held the small box in her hand all the time. Only after sitting at the round table did she open the box and take out the earrings to study them.

He Tingxi was sitting next to Ling Xiyue, looking at her quietly.

Ling Xiyue held the earrings and studied them carefully for a while before speaking.

"These earrings are indeed well made, and the rubies are high-end. Although they are not very expensive, they are definitely not cheap either." Ling Xiyue analyzed.

"Well, isn't this just right? The price is right, and when you wear them out, outsiders won't make a fuss about the earrings." He Tingxi agreed with a smile.

"My brothers and the others finally did what I wanted. I was worried that they would give me gifts that were too expensive. Earrings of this price range are just what I want." Ling Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Ling Xiyue holding it in her hand, He Tingxi felt somewhat worried and advised, "It's getting late. Put the earrings away and let's go to rest, shall we?"

"Okay." Ling Xiyue responded readily without thinking too much.

Just as she was about to put the earrings back into the box, she suddenly remembered something. She picked up the earrings, put them under her nose and smelled them.

When He Tingxi saw this, his eyes widened instantly and he was a little panicked. He stretched out his hand slightly, wanting to stop it, but he still didn't say a word.

After smelling it for a while, Ling Xiyue put down the earrings and frowned slightly.

"Why do these earrings have a strange smell?" Ling Xiyue muttered.

He Tingxi was startled and asked tentatively: "Strange smell? What smell?"

After that, he took the earrings from Ling Xiyue's hand and smelled them, and deliberately asked, "Does it smell?"

Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi, still thinking in her mind.

"There is a smell, but it's not musk. It's a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a moment."

He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue, and his mind instantly recalled the time when He Jingcheng gave her the plaster. It was also Ling Xiyue who smelled the musk that time.

He did not disturb Ling Xiyue, but waited for her quietly.

After a while, Ling Xiyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I remember there were several medicinal smells, including oleander and cassia twigs, and some other smells, but they were too mixed to be sure what they were."

As soon as these words fell, He Tingxi was completely stunned. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

Seeing He Tingxi in a daze, Ling Xiyue took the earrings back from He Tingxi and smelled them again. She confirmed, "That's right, these are the smells."

He Tingxi slowly came to his senses after hearing the voice, but there was still surprise in his eyes.

"How did you smell it? Do you really know about medicine?"

Ling Xiyue put the earrings into the box and closed it.

"I don't know much about it, but I'm particularly sensitive to medicines that are not good for women, such as those that can cause miscarriage." Ling Xiyue explained with a smile.

"You're really amazing. I remember when you saved me, you found the right herbs to stop my bleeding in time. At that time, I knew you knew something about herbs." He Tingxi praised, recalling the injury he suffered last year.

"It's just a survival skill. Knowing some herbs means that others who want to harm me secretly won't have a chance, right?" Ling Xiyue responded with a smile.

He Tingxi couldn't help but smile with relief and nodded.

"It makes sense."

Ling Xiyue smiled faintly, she thought about the earrings and analyzed it.

"It seems that these earrings were bought by Madam He. My father and brother don't know the secret behind them. I didn't expect that Madam He still wants to harm me and still can't bear to see me suffer."

He Tingxi was very satisfied with Ling Xiyue's analysis and felt relieved.

"What a pity! Madam He miscalculated this time. She wanted to harm me? A year ago, I almost let her succeed. Now I have been on guard and will not let her hurt me so easily." Ling Xiyue said confidently.

After that, she looked at He Tingxi and comforted her: "Tingxi, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and will not let anyone hurt our child. I will definitely give birth to our child safely."

He Tingxi was instantly moved when he heard this. He took the initiative to hold Ling Xiyue's hand and said affectionately: "Okay, I believe you."

"Tingxi, you are busy with official duties, so don't worry about me. I will protect myself." Ling Xiyue responded with a smile, then she pulled He Tingxi's hand away and handed the small box to He Tingxi.

"Tingxi, can you keep this earring for me? Didn't you say that you had already sent someone to investigate Madam He? This is favorable evidence. The earring must contain the medicine I just mentioned. You can ask Doctor Jian to confirm it. With this physical evidence, Madam He cannot escape the blame."

He Tingxi looked at the small box, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.

"Okay. Let's do as you say." He Tingxi nodded in agreement.

Looking at the "smart" Ling Xiyue in front of him, He Tingxi felt comforted.

I thought to myself: Xiyue, you are more reliable than I thought, you are really good at protecting yourself. I won't tell you about the evidence of Madam He's crime I found out. After you give birth to the baby safely, I will help you get rid of Madam He immediately and leave no future trouble.

"Tingxi, it's getting late. Let's take a break. I'm a little tired today." Seeing that He Tingxi didn't speak, Ling Xiyue spoke first.

"Okay, let's go and rest now." He Tingxi stood up first, helped Ling Xiyue up, and walked towards the bed.

February 26

Today is the wedding day of Shi Hui and Han Min, and the Prince of Yan's Mansion helped Shi Hui hold a grand wedding.

All the officials in the court who supported He Tingxi came to congratulate him.

Ling Xiu presided over the wedding, while He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue sat in the host seats and accepted the kneeling worship of Shi Hui and Han Min.

It was the first time that Ling Xiyue attended a wedding so directly, and she was extremely excited.

During Shi Hui's wedding, Ling Xiyue learned a lot of wedding etiquette and prepared to use it as a reference for Ling Junqi's wedding.

After marriage, Shi Hui and Han Min lived in Ruyiyuan, northwest of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Shi Hui officially moved out of He Tingxi's yard.
