Heartthrob Substitute Counterattack Manual [Transmigration Book]

Shenghui Hall.

In Yuhua Garden.

Xiao Ling came to the Chaoyang Pavilion and saw He Yuancheng who was drinking alone with his concubine Ji in his arms during the daytime, his face darkened with dissatisfaction.

He Yuancheng was flirting with the beauty in his arms, and comfortably drank the wine that the beauty fed to her mouth.

"Prince, General Xiao is here."

When He Yuancheng heard the reminder from the eunuch beside him, he almost spit out the wine in his mouth,

He froze for a moment, the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground, turned his head and saw Xiao Ling with a cold face, suddenly became nervous, hurriedly drove away the concubines who were hugging left and right, and ordered someone to show Xiao Ling seat.

"Xiao Ling, why are you here?" He said and glared at the eunuch beside him, "General Xiao is coming, but you didn't notify me, what should I do?"

The eunuch was extremely aggrieved, "Prince, I have already told you several times."

The First Prince's expression was embarrassing, and he carefully looked at Xiao Ling's expression, "Really, maybe the wind was too loud, so I didn't hear it."

The eunuchs were speechless and wanted to help their foreheads. It was a sunny day, where there was no wind, and his master was the eldest son of the emperor. He was also arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but when he met his cousin, General Xiao, he was like a mouse. Like a cat.

But they also knew that their master was really out of tune and always doing stupid things.

And General Xiao is not only outstanding in appearance, but also unparalleled in talent. Concubine Li Gui arranged him to be the eldest prince's companion since he was a child, and what he wanted was to be able to help him well.

Seeing Xiao Ling looking at him, the eldest prince politely invited him to his seat, and quickly asked the eunuchs to remove all the drinks and replace them with Xiao Ling's favorite tea.

Xiao Ling's face was colder than usual, and he said lightly, "The influence of prostitution in the daytime is extremely bad. If His Majesty knows about it, he will definitely blame him."

The eldest prince nodded hastily, and explained, "I'm not yet an adulterer, you're here now."

Xiao Ling's eyes slanted, he glanced at him, and immediately asked the eldest prince to change his words, "It's my fault, my cousin will definitely listen to you in the future."

Several eunuchs brought refreshments, and seeing that the First Prince was so afraid of General Xiao, they couldn't help but secretly laughed, but they didn't dare to express it.

The Eldest Prince has a weird temper and is unpredictable. When he is in a good mood, he rewards gold, silver and jewels without blinking his eyes. When he is in a bad mood, even if he is half right, he can rip a person's skin apart with a whip.

So all his subordinates slandered him in all kinds of ways in their hearts, but on the surface they only dared to be cautious.

But Xiao Ling knew that He Yuancheng was not as stupid as he appeared on the surface.

These are just means to confuse others and make people take it lightly.

He also knew that he was among the others.

Xiao Ling put down the tea in his hand, and lowered his eyes, that's fine, if a prince doesn't even have this city, he can't be grand, and he doesn't have to waste time for him.

Although He Yuancheng is Xiao Ling's cousin and the grandson of Xiao Guoxiang.

But even if he was bound by his family, Xiao Ling would never put the hope of the country on a fool.

He found another enlightened master, and he was still able to maintain the prosperity of the Xiao family.

Xiao Ling was very satisfied with He Yuancheng's scheming. Although he was quite displeased with that incident, it was not a big deal and not enough to take it to heart.

Seeing him pondering, He Yuancheng turned his eyes and asked, "Cousin, does my tea taste good?"

Xiao Ling is an elegant person. Not only is he strong in martial arts, he is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has a great interest in life. He drinks wine and tea, burns incense and plays the piano in rainy days, and even paints a world in snowy days.

He Yuancheng is well aware of this, and often saves some good tea and spices for him as tribute, so as to maintain the relationship with him.

Xiao Ling nodded, "It's still in your throat."

He Yuancheng sighed, and then heaved a sigh of relief. With Xiao Ling's tricky tongue, it was not easy to say this sentence.

"Why are you looking for me today?"

Knowing that Xiao Ling didn't like nonsense, He Yuancheng asked directly.

Xiao Ling's eyebrows were full of condensation, "There is indeed something that needs your help."

He Yuancheng was a little surprised, and smiled, "There are things you can't handle, cousin?"

Xiao Ling ignored his joke, and went straight to the point, "Mu Xiurong was framed for plagiarism, and he was permanently disqualified from entering the Imperial Hospital."

He Yuancheng was startled, put away his indecency just now, and immediately became serious, "What's going on?"

Xiao Ling told him the matter.

"With Xiurong's character and ability, he will never copy other people's answers." Xiao Ling said coldly, "Moreover, the answers to the two test papers are the same. Others will know that there is something weird at a glance. A person who is so smart and clever like Xiurong, no wonder would do stupid things like this."

He Yuancheng raised his eyebrows, "You trust him so much?"

Xiao Ling ignored his temptation, "I believe what I saw with my own eyes."

Having seen Mo Tianran's ability to reconnect his hands and his talent, and agreeing with his advanced thinking, Xiao Ling has a strong appreciation for him.

He Yuancheng nodded, "With his ability, there is really no need to plagiarize. Yu virtue is the most important thing. I must see him blocking the way of my grandson, so get rid of it quickly."

Xiao Ling's eyes darkened, knowing that He Yuancheng had sent someone to watch Mo Tianran for a long time, and wanted to draw him into his command very much, so he pretended not to know what he was doing.

He snorted coldly with disdain, "If you are not as skilled as others, you should study hard. Such tricks are really inferior and unfair to others."

He Yuancheng nodded, "Yu Dexing is also an old fool. If his grandson has no real talent and learning, even if he inherits the mantle and becomes the emperor's imperial physician in the future, if he delays his health, his family cannot bear the crime."

Xiao Ling said, "With the talent of Mu Xiurong, entering the Imperial Hospital will be very beneficial to you and Concubine Li."

He Yuancheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, thinking to himself.

After the death of the first empress, although Emperor Shenglin did not re-establish an empress, the harem respected the mother and concubine.

But Concubine Shu's father is a great general of hussars, who holds a heavy army and is deeply favored by His Majesty. Although she has no children, she has been at odds with her concubine for a long time. concubine.

The battle between Concubine Mu and Concubine Shu will eventually become a battle between him and Concubine He Yuanming. Concubine Mother's victory is extremely crucial, and in this struggle in the harem, the imperial doctor is very important. With Concubine Mother having a capable imperial doctor, the chances of winning are even greater. will be much bigger.

He looked at Xiao Ling and said in a deep voice, "You want me to help Mu Xiurong and clear his name in front of the emperor?"

Xiao Ling stared at him and said, "Helping him is the best chance to win him over."

He Yuancheng thought for a moment, then said worriedly, "But father is suspicious by nature. Although the last crisis was resolved, he has become suspicious of me and He Yuanming. Now He Yuanming and I need to try our best to win over the people around father. Yu Dexing saved Father's life, and he often treats his headaches, his words are probably more effective than us sons. If I intervene in this matter, I will definitely offend Dexing, and He Yuanming will take advantage of it, and lose Yu Dexing. Favorable pawn."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Ling and said seriously, "It's not worthwhile for me to offend virtue."

Xiao Ling's brows sank, knowing that this time was really crucial to He Yuancheng.

Whether he or He Yuanming will win in the end depends on the emperor's will. If you want to know the holy will, you must win over the people around the emperor.

Although Mo Tianran is talented, his background is too weak to compare with Yu Dexing.

The two-phase trade-off does sacrifice Mo Tianran, and it is more beneficial to win over virtue.

Xiao Ling's eyes turned cold. Rationally, he supported the eldest prince's actions, but Mo Tianran was his friend, and he also disdained the despicable actions of the head of the hospital.

Whether it's because of the friendship with Mo Tianran, or the mood of cherishing talents, or because he can't get used to this fraud for the sake of justice.

Xiao Ling decided to fight for Mo Tianran.

"cousin."

He Yuancheng frowned, he rarely heard him call his cousin.

Xiao Ling was too indifferent and too arrogant, as unconquerable as an ice and snow mountain, it would be incredible to show even the slightest softness.

Xiao Ling still had a cold face, "What my cousin said is right, offending virtue at this time is indeed extremely detrimental to you."

He Yuancheng didn't dare to swallow the tea in his mouth, he knew that Xiao Ling definitely had something to say.

"but."

When He Yuancheng heard this, he lowered his head helplessly, he knew...

Xiao Ling said coldly, "Cousin, do you want to gamble? If you win, you will get far more than the support of the head of the hospital."

He Yuancheng looked at him hesitantly, "How do you bet?"

Xiao Ling said deeply, "Help Mur Xiurong into the Imperial Hospital. With his ability, if he can completely cure His Majesty's headache, he may be able to replace Yu Dexing to gain his trust. After all, His Majesty trusts Dexing so much not only because of his age. When he was young, he cured smallpox and saved a life, and what’s more, his headaches are inseparable from Yu Dexing.”

He Yuancheng thought deeply, stood up and walked to the foot of the pavilion to stare deeply for a moment.

Without urging him, Xiao Ling picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, frowned slightly, and quickly put it down.

He Yuancheng remained silent, so Xiao Ling waited for him without saying a word.

After a while, He Yuancheng stared at the long and beautifully carved long bridge on the lake.

"Xiao Ling."

Xiao Ling raised his eyes, expecting his answer.

He Yuan rubbed his brows embarrassingly, "This bet is risky after all, and I can't afford it now."

Xiao Ling's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said lightly, "I know."

--------------

In He Jinxi's bedroom.

He listened to Tianyue's report in silence, a trace of killing intent faintly appeared on his expressionless face.

The Eighth Sage King narrowed his eyes in anger, looked at He Jinxi's face again, and said, "It's Yu Dexing who dares to do such a thing, he is relying on the trust and reliance of the emperor's brother on him, and he has nothing to fear."

Tiankui's face was serious, "Master, what should we do? We can't let Young Master Mu be framed by him for nothing, and he won't be able to enter the imperial hospital for the rest of his life, right?"

He Jinxi's eyes were extremely cold, "My man has lost the world, and I won't let him suffer the slightest loss."

Tian Kui and Ba Xian Wang looked at each other, "Master, you have an idea?"

He Jinxi didn't answer, but instead asked, "What news do you have from He Yuancheng and He Yuanming?"

Tian Kui was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "I heard from Zuo Fu that He Yuanming didn't take any action. On He Yuancheng's side, Xiao Ling went to him to intercede for Young Master Mu, but he refused."

As soon as the Eight Sage Kings heard it, they knew, "They are afraid of offending Virtue. After all, the emperor's headaches have been treated by him, and the emperor trusts him very much. They have long wanted to win over Virtue and listen to him mind."

Tiankui nodded, quite agreeing with his thoughts.

He Jinxi frowned, "Xiao Ling?"

Tiankui nodded, "It's him."

After deliberating for a while, he said softly, "I heard that Young Master Mu also went to see him on the day of the exam. I don't know what they talked about. Young Master Mu seems to be very happy."

As a secret guard, Tiankui has the duty to tell He Jinxi everything truthfully.

He Jinxi's face darkened slightly, his fingers moved slightly, and he tapped lightly on the table in front of him.

Ba Xian Wang and Tian Kui frowned, knowing that he made this action, which indicated that he was extremely displeased at this moment.

Ba Xian Wang glared at Tian Kui, and blamed him for telling this matter, which would cause He Jinxi's misunderstanding, but he also knew his responsibility.

After thinking about it, he diverted He Jinxi's attention, "Why did the Holy One ask about the First Prince?"

He Jinxi stopped what he was doing, his face was still as deep as a deep pool, "Both He Yuancheng and He Yuanming tried to win him over."

When he said this, the two of them understood that He Jinxi wanted to know whether they would choose to lend a helping hand or give up on Mo Tianran.

As expected, both of them chose to give up Mo Tianran.

He Jinxi smiled coldly, with an extremely sarcastic smile, "I overestimated them."

The Eighth Wise King also sneered, "I want a piece of rotten wood instead of a treasure. I really overestimated them."

He Jinxi lowered his eyes, thoughtfully, "Uncle Emperor, please take this matter with you."

The Baxian King hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is very polite, if you say a few words for Young Master Mu in front of the emperor, it's not difficult, it's just."

He analyzed, "Brother Huang's indulgence of virtue may not necessarily listen to me."

He Jinxi looked at the orchids on the table with long eyes, "You only suggest that the emperor change the punishment of being permanently barred from entering the imperial hospital to three years."

The Eighth Sage King was puzzled, "Young Master Namu's charge of plagiarism still cannot be cleared."

He Jinxi said lightly, "Leave the rest to me."

Seeing that he had a plan in mind, the Eighth Sage King was confused for a moment about how he would persuade Emperor Shenglin, but when he saw his finger stroking the orchid in the vase, he suddenly realized, "You have to use..."

He Jinxi said coldly, "After all, he owes me this."

The Eighth Wise King was startled, thought for a while, and knew that the matter had turned around, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll go right away."

He Jinxi nodded, and said to Tiankui, "There is something I need you to do."

Tian Kui hurriedly said, "Master, just give orders."

He Jinxi's eyes were full of cold danger, Tiankui and Baxian Wang's brows were shocked, knowing that someone was going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, He Jinxi opened his mouth lightly, but the words he said were extremely cruel.

"Go and investigate Yu Dexing, I want all his private evidence."

Tiankui immediately took the order, raised his head and asked curiously, "What is the master going to do?"

He Jinxi's face was gloomy, "After you have successfully entered the imperial hospital, you will release all the secrets of virtue."

Tian Kui nodded hurriedly, and glanced at the Eight Sage Kings.

The Eighth Sage King stared at him and asked, "Is this to repay him with his own way?"

He Jinxi's face was gloomy.

But Baxian Wang knew that he guessed right, and Yu Dexing slandered Mo Tianran, making him lose face. He Jinxi collected his bad deeds and made him lose face, and helped Mo Tianran take revenge.

He sighed, "Although this method is good, once the reputation is ruined, it is very difficult to restore it. Young Master Mu will still be wronged in the end. My lord, do you want to send someone to stop Youyou's mouth?"

He Jinxi said quietly, "It's better to block than to block."

The Eighth Sage King was startled, pondered for a while, and suddenly realized, "The Holy One wants to use the scandal of virtue to divert everyone's attention to him. By the way, let people know what kind of person Yu Dexing is, and let others treat Mu Xiao The young master's plagiarism has caused suspicion, and with his talent, he will naturally be able to prove himself after a long time."

Tiankui's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately gave a thumbs up, "Master, this is a great trick!"

He Jinxi still had an ugly expression on his face, Baxian Wang and Tiankui knew that he was very angry.

He Jinxi has a strong desire for dominance, and if someone he cares about gets even half a hair off his feet, he will never end with him.

Mo Tianran has suffered such a big loss, He Jinxi will definitely not let it go.

Collecting the scandals of Yu Dexing and ruining his reputation is probably only the first step.

The Eight Sages said, "Since that's the case, I'll go find Brother Huang."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were three knocks on the door, and the eunuch outside said softly, "Your Highness, General Xiao is asking to see you."

He Jinxi's eyes sank.

Tiankui was puzzled, "Why is he here at this time?"

The Eighth Wise King thought for a while, "He already loves the Holy One, maybe he just wanted to visit him?"

He Jinxi's eyes narrowed, a hint of impatience overflowed on his face, he waved his fingers, "You guys leave first."

Tiankui disappeared in an instant, and the Eight Sage Kings cupped their hands and left from the secret path.

The eunuch opened the door of the bedroom, Xiao Ling walked in, and was led to a screen in the outer compartment by the female officer.

Precious gauze curtains are hung on the carved jade pillars on both sides of the screen, which looks extremely luxurious.

The room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, causing Xiao Ling's brows to condense slightly, revealing a trace of worry.

"General Xiao."

Behind the screen, a faint, sickly voice sounded.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and saluted, "Meet the Tenth Prince."

"General Xiao is exempt."

Xiao Ling straightened up and looked up at the huge screen embroidered with several lifelike unicorns.

In my heart, I thought about what he looks like behind this screen now.

He suddenly remembered being amazed by He Jinxi's beauty when he saw He Jinxi for the first time.

But what moved his heart was his sickly, sad and fragile eyes.

Xiao Ling's eyes were long. After He Jinxi entered the palace, he never had the chance to see him again.

The tenth prince has no power and power, and his mother is just a embroidered girl that Emperor Shenglin met when he went to Jiangnan.

The embroidered girl had only been in love with Emperor Shenglin for more than a month, and she knew that her status was low and that her inability to be taken into the palace would ruin his reputation, so she left alone.

But she was already pregnant with Emperor Shenglin's child, namely He Jinxi.

Emperor Cheng Lin never forgot about her.

Xiao Ling also inadvertently heard Concubine Li mention that Emperor Chenglin had been unwilling to become a queen because he thought that the embroidered girl was his second wife.

Leave a Queen's position vacant for her.

This naturally made Concubine Li and other concubines jealous. They have served Emperor Shenglin for many years, and they are not even a embroidered girl who has been with him for more than a month. How could they swallow this breath.

Moreover, there was an extra prince out of thin air, which won the emperor's favor and made all the concubines extremely worried.

If it wasn't for the fact that He Jinxi was powerless, seriously ill, and loved by Emperor Chenglin, he would have been plotted to death already.

Even so, some people deliberately tried to kill him.

Xiao Ling knew the pros and cons of it, even if he admired He Jinxi, he didn't dare to meet with him often, for fear of arousing the suspicion of other princes and concubines and hurting him instead.

"Your Highness, you are in good health today."

There was a hint of concern in Xiao Ling's cold voice.

"No problem, thank you General Xiao."

He Jinxi's voice was weak and full of indifference.

Xiao Ling's heart was empty, knowing that he had no intentions for him, but in fact, he had already given up. He could hear his voice occasionally, so he knew he was okay, so let it go.

"General Xiao."

On the big bed behind two screens, He Jinxi didn't have a trace of sickness on his face, with a cold face, leaning his back against the edge of the bed, his face was full of impatience.

At this time, his thoughts were all on Mo Tianran, worried that he would be sad, wronged, and angry.

Thinking about going to his room again at night to comfort him.

Thinking of Mo Tianran, He Jinxi's face softened a little.

Xiao Ling, who was outside the screen, paused for a moment, and finally said, "I am worried about His Highness's health, thinking that someone with excellent medical skills may be able to cure His Highness's illness."

He Jinxi narrowed his eyes, showing a dangerous expression, and deliberately expressed doubts in his sickly voice.

"No one in the Tai Hospital can cure me, who can cure me?"

Xiao Ling paused for a moment before saying, "Mu Xiurong, the son of the Supreme Court's judge."

He Jinxi's eyes became darker and his face turned cold.

Tiankui in the dark looked excited: I am a little happy to see this chaotic relationship.

Tianyue remained expressionless, devoted himself to his duty, and refused to respond.

Tiankui was dissatisfied: "You are the most boring, Wenchang Wenqu, including the prince, will gossip with me."

Tian Yue remained expressionless, ignoring his clamor.

Tiankui gave him a boring look, seeing his indifference, and purposely said, "I am your superior after all, and the superior needs to know the answer when talking to you. Yes, the subordinates know. Like this..."

In order to block his words, Tianyue immediately replied: "Yes, this subordinate knows."

A deep sense of frustration surged in Tiankui's heart, and he really wanted to draw a circle, sighed, and decided to continue to observe the situation below, write it down and talk to Wenchang Wenqu later.

He Jinxi's face was sullen, "Mur Xiurong, General Xiao said, is actually so capable?"

Xiao Ling replied, "Yes, he can reattach severed hands, knows the art of bringing the dead back to life, and has superb medical skills. Maybe he can cure His Highness' illness."

He Jinxi knew that Xiao Ling's words were half sincere and half excuses.

He wanted to help Mo Tianran by himself.

Even if he didn't speak, He Jinxi would go through fire and water for Mo Tianran, and planned to keep Mo Tianran by his side after Mo Tianran entered the imperial hospital.

However, he didn't want to hear these words from Xiao Ling's mouth.

He doesn't need someone he values ​​to be overly concerned by others.

He Jinxi's face was gloomy, and a strong sour taste overflowed from his heart.

The author has something to say: Little Theater 1

He Jinxi: What's your relationship with Xiao Ling? He cares about you so much. I'm not happy. I need comfort.

Mo Tianran: ...you can do what you want, there are many excuses.
