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

Xu Xianyue's eyes sparkled: "Your Majesty's words are implicit, but whether it was then or now, is there anyone else who is in Kyoto and is right in front of Your Majesty, serving you respectfully, besides you?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps I want to give you one last 'surprise'."

Qin Liexing's smile slowly spread again: "Yes, it is true."

As Xu Xinyue raised her foot, Qin Liexing added, "I want Yu Xingcao to write down this promise in person, sign it, and hand it over to me."

Xu Xinyue responded straightforwardly: "Okay, it's all up to you, Your Majesty. I will definitely complete what you have ordered."

Qin Liexing no longer had any doubts and said loudly:

"You will handle this matter yourself. If there is any mistake, you know what I will do."

Xu Xianyue bowed her head: "I understand."

"Go."

On the way back, Qin Yuechuan looked at Xu Xinyue's back in front of him, wanting to ask something, but didn't know where to start.

He could feel that Xu Xinyue seemed to have a plan in mind, and all these things were probably to protect the real crown prince.

Following Xu Xinyue's footsteps, Qin Yuechuan discovered that the destination Xu Xinyue was heading to was not Yanfang Palace, but the gate of the palace.

Qin Yuechuan looked at the sky and disagreed slightly: "Princess, it's late today. The Ministry of Justice prison is still some distance away from here. This matter is not urgent. Why not go to the prison to see the Grand Tutor tomorrow?"

"Since there is a clue, Miss Yu will not rush you into any haste."

Xu Xinyue kept walking and said without turning her head: "If it's not for her, this matter needs to be settled as soon as possible to avoid more trouble at night."

"The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is approaching, we need to hurry."

Qin Yuechuan wanted to persuade him a little more: "It's cold and gloomy at night, and the prison is filled with gloomy air..."

Xu Xinyue turned back suddenly, looked at him with confused eyes, and said in disbelief: "Xuan San, don't scare me. Qin Yuechuan has taken me there in the middle of the night before. There is no yin energy there!"

After saying this, she raised her chin slightly with pride, as if saying to him: You see, I won't be fooled by you.

Qin Yuechuan was choked and had no way to defend himself. He was annoyed and complained in his heart, but he had to swallow his "bitterness" without saying anything.

Seeing Xu Xinyue turn around and continue to rush towards the palace gate, he could only follow her helplessly.

Before the afterglow faded, Xu Xinyue successfully arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison and showed the jade token. In the innermost cell, from a distance, Xu Xinyue saw Yu Xingcao sitting cross-legged in a dirty and filthy place, drinking water calmly from a coarse porcelain tea bowl.

Even though it is deeply trapped in this filthy mire, it is still like a lonely old crane leisurely drinking and pecking, with its neck raised proudly.

As Xu Xinyue got closer, the figure inside became clearer.

Yu Xingcao was nearly fifty years old, his hair was half white, his eyes were sharp and vigorous, he sat cross-legged, and when he heard the sound, he looked up.

At this moment, Yu Xingcao had taken off all his official uniforms, his hands and feet were bound with shackles, and he only wore a relatively intact and clean white undershirt, which was slightly damaged and stained with some dust, but no blood. It seemed that he had not been tortured yet.

Xu Xinyue felt relieved for some reason.

Xu Xinyue walked slowly to the iron gate and called out in a gentle voice, "Master Yu."

Yu Xingcao looked at the approaching figure for a long time.

He suddenly stood up and walked towards Xu Xinyue with heavy shackles on his hands and feet.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Princess Rong, how are you."

Xu Xinyue said to him in a gentle voice, "Master Yu, there is no need to be polite. I came here on the instructions of Miss Yu."

Yu Xingcao looked up in astonishment. Upon hearing the news about his daughter, his liver-colored thin lips trembled slightly, and he took another step forward with moist eyes: "Qian Yue, she..."

Xu Xinyue seemed to see Xu Yuanshan, who was also in prison at the time and was worried about her. Xu Xinyue couldn't bear to make him worry, so she immediately responded:

"She is doing well now. She and Madam Yu are both doing well."

"But he is particularly concerned about Master Yu. He must have been desperate and came to me."

"It was my fault that I was so reckless..."

Although there was a hint of blame in his words, Xu Xinyue could see that Yu Xingcao's eyes were filled with endless relief and love.

Thinking about what she was going to say next, although Xu Xianyue felt reluctant, she had to tell the truth for the sake of the plan: "Master Yu, do you know why Miss Yu came to see me?"

Yu Xingcao shook his head in confusion, waiting for an answer.

"I know everything that Grand Tutor Yu has been through. Prince Qi has come to the palace to discuss this matter and has threatened that if this dilemma is to be resolved, Miss Yu must marry into Prince Qi's palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xingcao's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and the green meridians on his forehead suddenly bulged like roots. He held the iron bars and shouted excitedly:

"No!"

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not! Princess Rong, please tell my daughter that if he marries Prince Qi for me, I would rather die in this prison!"

"I absolutely won't allow it!"

A loud and clear shout was also heard from the cell not far away. The voice was rough and obviously much more powerful than Yu Xingcao's: "That's right, absolutely not allowed. I hope Princess Rong will tell my sister that even if we are imprisoned here for life, we will never accept freedom in exchange for my sister's lifelong event!"

Xu Xinyue looked in the direction of the voice and guessed that the person who spoke was Yu Qianyue's brother.

Xu Xianyue soothed him in a gentle voice: "Master Yu, Master Yu, please be at ease. I know what I am doing."

Yu Xingcao knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, and pleaded in a clear voice: "I am already over fifty years old, half of my body has stepped into the yellow earth. If Qianyue must marry Prince Qi to resolve this dilemma, I am willing to take on this sin and bear it all by myself..."

The sound of anxious shouting, mixed with the sound of desperately shaking the iron bars, seemed to be forbearing, and seemed to be unyielding: "Father!!"

Xu Xianyue interrupted Yu Xingcao and said softly, "Master Yu, you don't have to do this. I have a way. If you are willing to listen to me, I may be able to solve your dilemma. Miss Yu doesn't have to marry Prince Qi. I just need a letter of guarantee from you."

Yu Xingcao's old cheeks were still wet with tears, and he didn't have time to wipe them away. He looked at her doubtfully: "Promise?"

Xu Xinyue stepped forward and whispered in Yu Xingcao's ear. Yu Xingcao listened to Xu Xinyue's plan with a complicated expression.

After Xu Xinyue finished speaking, she stepped back and returned to her original position.

Yu Xingcao stared at her intently, not knowing what expression to use for a moment. His lips moved for a long time before he said, "Your Majesty...is this really the case?"

Xu Xianyue nodded calmly and lowered her voice, "I am not afraid to tell Master Yu. This is a matter of urgency. Your Majesty is about to die and there is no time to waste. Prince Qi is cold-hearted and disregards human life. How can he be a wise ruler? This is the best way."

"The Crown Prince is a man of noble character. He took the initiative to take responsibility and saved Your Majesty from danger. This shows that he has courage and insight, and is no mediocrity."

"I hope that Master Taifu will put aside his prejudice and lend a helping hand."

Xu Xinyue cupped her hands to her eyebrows, then bowed and solemnly performed a standard Tianyi ceremony towards Yu Xingcao.

Xu Xinyue said sternly, "I am not asking for your help this time as Princess Rong, but as a junior, Xu Xinyue, begging Master Yu to help me."

Yu Xingcao opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Xu Xinyue continued, "I know what you want to ask. I can guarantee that Prince Rong will stand by me. You don't have to worry, Master."

Yu Xingcao stared at the bright light in the gentle eyes of the woman in front of him, and smiled with relief: "Forget it, since it is your majesty's intention, I have nothing to say."

"I was right. Princess Rong is very courageous and is truly a heroine."

Xu Xianyue smiled and replied, "Taifu Yu, you are too kind, so could you please write a personal guarantee and allow me to give an explanation?"

Yu Xingcao said loudly, his voice obviously much more relaxed than before: "Of course."

Xu Xinyue called the jailer to bring paper and pen, and he wrote in great style. After the ink was dried, he handed it to Xu Xinyue with both hands.

Xu Xinyue took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Now that this book is completed, Master, you can no longer regret it."

Yu Xingcao laughed loudly: "No regrets, no regrets."

"I will be your disciple in the future, and I will never regret it."

Yu Xingcao said loudly: "Of course, Princess Rong can rest assured."

When Xu Xinyue came out of the Ministry of Justice prison, the moon was already high in the sky. Satisfied, holding the documents in his hands, he boarded the carriage back to the palace.

Xu Xinyue folded the documents, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and fell asleep in a daze, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves. His head was tired, his eyelids were heavy, and he fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, the face I missed day and night appeared in front of me again.

Xu Xianyue smiled sweetly, climbed her arms around his neck, felt the warmth and embraced him, gently rubbed his cheek and ear, and called softly:

"Come back, Qin Yuechuan."
