When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue stood up unconsciously and took a step forward, as if she wanted to verify the truth of what Xiaoshu said.

It does sound a bit hard to accept at first.

Even though he had made his mental preparations early on, when Su Jinyan came to meet him in the cave at the bottom of the cliff, Xu Xinyue could not say that she knew all the details of his plan, but she had a general idea of ​​it.

But when she actually heard the news, all the preparations and assumptions she had made finally turned to dust at this moment, and Xu Xinyue couldn't help but feel heartbroken and terrified.

She frowned, her eyes were unfocused, and she didn't know where her gaze was looking. She stood there in a daze for a long time without saying a word.

For a moment, I didn't know how to face everyone.

Xiao Chan hurried over and grabbed Xiao Shu, saying, "How can we tell the princess about such an uncertain matter right now? Wouldn't that just make her worry for nothing?"

"Your Majesty is blessed by heaven, nothing will happen to you."

"But..." Xiao Shu wanted to say something else, but Xiao Chan glared at her. Xiao Shu seemed to understand and changed her words, "Yes, I was not steady. I just heard the news for the first time and wanted to tell the princess immediately. I didn't think too much about it."

Xu Xinyue did not respond. She stepped back and sat back on the couch, head lowered and arms resting on the edge. From the perspective of others, she was clearly devastated by the devastating news.

Ana Luo no longer had the heart to play with her, and called her carefully, "Yueyue?"

"You guys go out first... I want to be alone for a while."

"Yueyue..."

"You guys go out first."

Ana Luo stood up uneasily and pushed everyone out of Luanfeng Courtyard. Before leaving, fearing that Xu Xinyue would do something irrational, she took away her sewing basket, dressing box, and all the things that contained sharp objects.

Until Xu Xinyue was the only one left in the room.

Xu Xinyue then lay on her back on the couch, staring blankly at the curtain above her head.

So, this is what Qin Yuechuan said on the day of farewell?

"No matter what news you hear in the future, you don't have to believe it. I will do what I promised Yueyue."

Even though she knew that this was probably part of his plan, Xu Xinyue still couldn't help but worry about what kind of bloody and fierce battle would allow him to withdraw from this in a natural way under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Xu Xinyue couldn't imagine it, and it was hard to imagine it.

The only thing she was worried about was whether he was injured or seriously ill.

Few people in Kyoto knew about this plan except her.

Xu Xinyue didn't know how long she had been thinking. When she turned her head, she suddenly saw a tall wall of people standing beside the couch. She didn't know how long they had been standing there. She was so startled that she turned over and sat up. After seeing who it was, she relaxed her guard.

The anger in her heart had not yet subsided, and she turned her face away without looking at him: "Why is uncle here? With such a thick chain, are you afraid that I will run away?"

He Xuehuai seemed to have never expected her reaction to be like this.

In his imagination, Xu Xinyue would probably cry so hard that she would be heartbroken and unable to control herself, and even lose her soul and try to commit suicide...

Do you still have the mind to be angry with him right now?

He Xuehuai answered the question irrelevantly: "Are you... okay? You already know everything Ana Luo said about him."

Xu Xinyue paused. From what he said, He Xuehuai already knew about it?

On second thought, it made sense. Uncle knew their feelings best. Even Ana Luo felt that she might not be able to bear it...

He Xuehuai once worked for Su Jinyan, and Xu Xinyue thought it would be okay to tell him the truth.

"I know his plan. He probably did this on purpose. He had it all planned out in his mind."

He Xuehuai understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see. I was worried about you..."

"The frontline reported a great victory at Linggu Pass, and Su Yiming suffered heavy losses. However, the terrain there is dangerous and complicated, and it is possible that Prince Rong and the main force are temporarily separated."

He Xuehuai hadn't finished speaking yet and wanted to say a few more words to comfort her and put her mind at ease.

Xu Xinyue didn't even look at him, and replied in a low voice:

"I know, uncle."

The rest of He Xuehuai's words got stuck in his throat, and he asked doubtfully:

"You know?"

Xu Xinyue nodded slightly:

"I know that he has promised me, and he will not break his promise, and he will not leave me alone in this world, so -"

She raised her eyes and looked at He Xuehuai steadily: "No matter what rumors there are, I won't believe a single word of them until I see him in person."

He Xuehuai was speechless and said no more.

Xu Xinyue looked at him and continued to ask, "How is the matter between uncle and Wuming going?"

"It's OK. Wuming has been handed over to Prince Qi. I only saw him order his men to take Wuming out of the palace. I don't know anything else."

Xu Xinyue nodded: "It's okay, I have scattered some shadow-chasing powder on his clothes, and it will only be effective with the developing powder in my hand. It will take some time, but I will find it eventually."

He Xuehuai said: "Then I will send some people to look for it."

Xu Xinyue stopped him: "You have just become King Qi's man, it is really not appropriate to use the power of the Duke's Mansion to look for him, I am afraid that Qin Liexing will notice and become suspicious."

"Then what do you mean-"

"Qin Yuechuan left me some extra people from Prince Feirong's Mansion when he left. It would be most appropriate to leave this matter to them."

He Xuehuai saw that she already had a plan in mind and said no more.

Just as Xu Xinyue was about to call Xuanyi, Xiaochan came in again: "Princess, someone else has come to the palace."

Xiao Chan Yu He Xue Huai was already used to it, and did not show the slightest surprise. He bowed naturally and said uneasily, "This time it's His Majesty's people, I'm afraid you can't refuse it."

He Xuehuaina was surprised: "Why would His Majesty summon you to the palace?"

Xu Xianyue thought for a while, looked at He Xuehuai, and said uncertainly: "If my guess is correct, this matter may be related to the Queen."

"If I were the queen, no matter whether Qin Yuechuan was really missing or not, there would be too many unexpected events. Now that it is clear that I was taken away by Hong Yu and helped Qin Liexing get his uncle, then I should hold this chess piece in my hands and keep it under my eyes for the safest purpose..."

"If there is a need in the future, it will be most convenient for you."

Needless to say what kind of "need" it is, it is nothing more than forcing Qin Yuechuan to surrender like he did in his previous life.

Xu Xianyue's long eyelashes drooped, and there was a coldness in her eyes.

He Xuehuai remained silent and clenched his fists. If he wasn't worried about this damn "soul-transferring technique" on Xu Xinyue and her life being controlled by Qin Liexing, why would he be so hesitant and timid?

Seeing his cannibalistic look, Xu Xinyue pretended to be serious and said, "This is the order of His Majesty. I have to go. The imperial decree cannot be disobeyed. Don't you agree, uncle?"

He Xuehuai looked at the triumphant smile in her eyes. The teasing in her eyebrows was hard to hide. Looking into her eyes, those eyes clearly said: "Look, you can't stop me from doing what I want to do. This is God's will."

Xu Xinyue shook the iron chain on her ankle with a hint of provocation: "Uncle, why don't you untie it for me? If I am delayed from entering the palace, neither you nor I can afford to be blamed."

He Xuehuai knew that the situation was irreversible, so he had to bend down, take out the key from his sleeve and unlock the chain for her.

He Xuehuai lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly, but the voice that came out was dull and suppressed, with a strong sense of self-blame: "It was your uncle who failed to protect you. You shouldn't have to endure this."

Xu Xinyue shook her head and said softly:

"Don't blame my uncle, they are just too cunning."

He Xuehuai sighed, pressed her shoulder, and said solemnly: "When you go to the palace this time, you will inevitably come into contact with the queen, so Yueyue should be careful."

"The matter of the roster has not been finalized yet, so there is no need to force it."

"I only ask Yueyue to put herself first and protect herself."

"I know uncle, Daddy, please ask uncle to take care of it."

He Xuehuai responded, gave a few instructions and then quietly left Prince Rong's Mansion.

After He Xuehuai left, Xu Xinyue called Xuanyi.

After giving Wuming instructions, Xu Xianyue said, "There is one more thing. I want Xuanxiao Pavilion to find Qin Yuechuan as soon as possible, no matter what means you use."

Xuanyi said, "But should we inform the prince to return to the capital as soon as possible?"

"No, quite the opposite."

"I want you to tell him that no matter what news comes out of Kyoto tomorrow, whether it's an imperial decree or an imperial order, he will not be allowed to return to the capital without my approval!"

Xuan Yi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. How could he say such treacherous words to the prince?

Xu Xinyue paused for a few breaths and added, "This is not a request, but an order from him."

"If he insists on not listening and is determined to return to the capital, you can tell him whether every word, gift, and promise I made on the day of the marriage proposal still counts."

"If there is any disagreement, let me be the master and let me control it."

“A gentleman’s word, once it is promised, should never be violated!”
