In order to cooperate with Yu Guiwan, Xie Sui and Wei Heng actually went out to the Xuan De Hou Mansion early in the morning. After having lunch at the Xuan De Hou Mansion, they calculated the time before returning.

Wei Heng laughed at Xie Sui for a long time throughout the day.

In order to cooperate with Yu Guiwan, even Xie Sui had to follow his orders. This made Wei Heng laugh all day long. He had never seen Xie Sui so obedient before.

When the servant saw Xie Sui and Wei Heng return, he hurried forward and whispered, "Your Highness, the princess has something urgent to ask Divine Doctor Wei to come over."

"Let's go then."

Without waiting for Wei Heng to speak, Xie Sui spoke.

Wei Heng rolled his eyes at Xie Sui, speechless.

When the two arrived, Yu Guiwan had already asked someone to draw some water from several wells. She didn't have her master's poison-testing powder on hand, so she could only wait for Wei Heng to come back and check.

"There may be something wrong with this water, take a look." Yu Guiwan handed Wei Heng a bowl of water.

Wei Heng sniffed it but found nothing unusual. He then checked several other bowls of water but still couldn't find anything wrong. "I have poison-testing powder in my room. Just have someone bring it over."

After a while, Bei Chu brought the poison testing powder.

As soon as the poison-testing powder was added, the color of two bowls of water changed, and the faces of the people present changed drastically in an instant.

"I'll take it over to detoxify it first. The water can't be used before it's detoxified." Wei Heng frowned.

Fuqiu patted her chest and muttered softly, "Fortunately, the princess ordered in advance not to use water, otherwise everyone in the palace would have been poisoned tonight."

"Then let's go to the restaurant tonight." Xie Sui suddenly spoke, looking at Yu Guiwan as if asking her a question.

"I want to go too." Wei Heng immediately responded.

Xie Sui glanced at him, his eyes dark and gloomy, "You're also testing for poison, you don't have time."

"Xie Shiyu, you are abusing me! I work diligently for you and you don't even give me a meal to eat, right?" Wei Heng immediately jumped up and down, complaining like a resentful woman in the boudoir.

Xie Sui pinched his brows and sighed.

Why did he let Wei Heng stay in Prince Chen's mansion? What a fool.

"I'll pack it up for you." Xie Sui said with gritted teeth, afraid that Wei Heng would never stop and keep wasting the time he and A Wan were alone.

Yu Guiwan looked hesitant, wanting to say something but stopping himself, yet not wanting to spoil Xie Sui's fun.

"Don't worry, Prince Ping's Mansion won't know that we're going out together." Xie Sui saw her hesitation and spoke leisurely.

No one will ever know what Prince Chen’s Mansion doesn’t want to spread.

"Well."

Since Xie Sui said so, Yu Guiwan no longer refused.

*

Restaurant, elegant room.

"Xie Yunqi should take action in a few days," Yu Guiwan asked.

"After today, he won't be able to sit still."

Such a big trap was set in Prince Chen's Mansion today. How could Xie Yunqi remain patient?

"Have you figured out the location of Xie Yunqi's troops?" Yu Guiwan poured Xie Sui a glass of wine and placed it in front of him. She knew Xie Sui wouldn't refuse the wine she offered him.

Xie Sui took the wine and drank it all in one gulp. "It's almost done. Now we just have to wait for him to make the first move."

After drinking a glass of warm wine, Xie Sui's fair face turned red and he looked like he was drunk.

Yu Guiwan stared at Xie Sui but did not speak.

"Why are you staring at me?" Xie Sui raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his lips.

"Xie Sui."

She suddenly called out his name.

"Ok?"

His voice was low and magnetic, and he couldn't help but sit up straight when he saw Yu Guiwan's serious eyes.

"Why aren't you the least bit surprised that I know where Xie Yunqi's troops are stationed and his various weaknesses? An ordinary person would have become suspicious of me long ago, but you didn't."

"You are so meticulous, it's impossible that you wouldn't be prepared for something like this."

When Xie Sui heard this, he felt his eyelids twitch.

"unless."

Yu Guiwan paused here, and the look he gave Xie Sui became fierce.

"Unless you know that I am born again."

"And, you too."

Xie Sui was speechless under Yu Guiwan's stare. After a while, he admitted, "Yes, I am the same as you."

Yu Guiwan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

The fact of rebirth was already incomprehensible to her, but she never expected that there were people like her in this world.

He was not the only one who was reborn on the day of Yu Guiwan's wedding. He had actually been preparing to kidnap the bride a long time ago, so he would have gone to kidnap her even if there had been no letter.

But he never expected that he and Awan would be husband and wife. Then he received the letter that Yu Guiwan delivered to Prince Chen's Mansion. He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

That day, he even changed into a red dress, hoping to leave a good impression on Yu Guiwan.

"So," Yu Guiwan thought of the dream she had last time and asked tentatively, "You were the one who collected the bodies of me and my family?"

Xie Sui nodded and no longer concealed it, "Yes, if I had arrived earlier..." He lowered his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

He lowered his head silently, clenched his hands, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame.

"No, Your Highness, you don't have to say sorry to me. Your Highness doesn't owe me anything. Instead, I should thank you for avenging the Yu family and collecting the bodies." Yu Guiwan spoke in time.

"After all, it was me who asked the Emperor to grant you two a marriage, which led to that result." Xie Sui's shoulders shrugged slightly, and his voice trembled uncontrollably and became a little hoarse.

"Awan, I regret it so much. I regret it all the time."

Xie Sui lowered his head, trying hard to suppress his emotions.

His voice was not loud, but every word he said was engraved into Yu Guiwan's heart. Yu Guiwan looked at Xie Sui:

Is he crying?

Yu Guiwan couldn't describe what she felt at the moment. She only knew that she wanted to go over and hug him.

So she did it.

Xie Sui felt himself being embraced, his breathing was stunned, and his expression was dazed for a moment.

At this moment, he felt that his whole body was frozen and he had no idea how to react.

"Xie Sui, it's not your fault, you're not wrong." Yu Guiwan comforted him softly. She hadn't expected Xie Sui to think that way. Ultimately, this matter had nothing to do with him. It was her own stupidity that led to such a result.

"Don't take the blame on yourself, Xie Sui." Yu Guiwan patted his back gently to calm him down.

Xie Sui stretched out his hand hesitantly, struggling in his heart for countless times. Perhaps it was because he had been drinking, he hugged Yu Guiwan back.

His well-defined jaw rested against her hair, and a refreshing aroma, mingled with the faint scent of alcohol, lingered at Yu Guiwan's nose. She didn't push him away, inexplicably clinging to this embrace.

But she is not worthy of a good man like Xie Sui.

Let her indulge for a while.

Just a little while.
