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

Wuming had achieved his goal. He left the drawings behind, stepped silently back into the dark night, and left the study.

Qin Yuechuan looked sideways at the folded blueprint on the table, paused for a moment, and suddenly chuckled. His voice was mournful and self-deprecating:

"We three men with martial arts skills are able to gather here only because of the protection of Yueyue, who has no martial arts skills—"

Qin Yuechuan picked up the blueprint and put it in his arms.

He turned to He Xuehuai and asked, "Has the list I received when I sent it to Yueyue been verified?"

He Xuehuai nodded seriously: "There is indeed something going on."

"Your Majesty is seriously ill and has not attended court for a long time. The court is in chaos and rumors are spreading. Right now, only Prince Qi can take on the important task. Most court officials are willing to nominate Prince Qi to help govern the country."

"Among them are officials named on the list. I think the rumors were deliberately instigated and spread by someone."

"But there are still many court officials who firmly believe that you are only temporarily missing in the northern border, and they still have hope in their hearts that you will return to the court to take charge of the overall situation."

"Some people also say that the reason why His Majesty has not yet decided on the position of Crown Prince is because he is waiting for you to return to Kyoto."

Qin Yuechuan said: "Let's not talk about Yueyue. Now the palace is almost completely controlled by the Queen and Qin Liexing, and my father is in danger."

"If I hadn't returned to the capital, the Queen would have relaxed her guard a little, and my father would have had a chance to catch his breath. But if the news of my return to the capital got out, I'm afraid it would have accelerated my father's death..."

"Yueyue said she could secretly detoxify father, I am willing to help her give it a try."

Qin Yuechuan tapped the table with his index finger joint: "For now we can only plan in secret."

"I can't stay away from Yueyue for too long, let's talk about how long we live..."

"it is good."

……

Xu Xinyue hugged her shoulders, leaned over the table with her arms around her, and waited silently for Qin Yuechuan to return to the palace with the necessary herbs.

Xu Xinyue closed her eyes lightly, looking as if she was resting, but her mind was actually full of thoughts. She was quietly thinking about what to do if she found Hongyu's body in the future.

Just as he was frowning and thinking about something important, he suddenly felt warmth on his shoulders and back. The soft velvet touch instantly enveloped his whole body through the plain brocade fabric.

Xu Xinyue opened her eyes, turned her head to look to the side, and saw a black shadow very close to her. It was leaning over and slowly and carefully picking up a thick robe, and was putting it on her with extremely gentle movements.

The two looked at each other, and the shadow was stunned for a moment, then he explained in a low voice: "When I entered, the doors and windows were open, and the princess might catch a cold if she rested here."

Xu Xianyue stood up, gathered her outer robe with her backhand, and asked him, "How is the situation? Did you bring the things back?"

Qin Yuechuan carried a bulging and large package and placed it in front of her.

“It’s all here.”

Xu Xinyue untied the knot of the cloth bag and counted them one by one. She said with satisfaction: "Indeed, they are all here, including the herbs needed for your majesty's antidote."

"Xuan San, you did a great job."

Qin Yuechuan said nothing.

"I will make some preparations tonight. There is nothing wrong here. You can go down now."

"Do you need my help——"

"No, no, I can do it myself, you go ahead."

Without even raising his head, Xu Xinyue took out the pestle, silver spoon, cinnabar and other items that had been prepared under the table, and threw himself into the preparations.

Qin Yuechuan had no reason to stay anymore, so he stood up silently and walked out of the inner hall.

But he never left.

In Yanfang Hall, the only light at this moment is a small area centered on Xu Xinyue.

The lights in the outer hall were all turned off, and Qin Yuechuan just found a suitable corner in the dark and stood with his hands hanging down. He could hide his figure without being noticed, while at the same time he could clearly see her whole figure.

Accompany her silently.

Xu Xinyue was so focused on what she was doing that she had no time to pay attention to the surroundings. She also didn't notice the burning gaze that was directed at her without any hesitation.

She is in the light and he is in the dark.

Just like in the past at Prince Rong's Mansion, he watched her busy figure quietly.
