Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Fukangan's team finally returned.

Compared to the journey there, the return journey was much slower.

Perhaps because of the great changes he had encountered, Keshan’s health had not been very good these days and his illness had been recurring.

Xinyue was so worried that she cried every day.

After her father passed away, Keshan was her only relative.

Keshan was also sensible. Despite his weak little body, he gently wiped away Xinyue's tears.

"Don't cry, sister. Keshan will get better soon."

Xinyue burst into laughter and touched Keshan's forehead, hoping that the gods would bless them and that her father's spirit in heaven would also bless them.

Because there were old, young, sick and disabled people in the team, it took them twice as long as it did to finally return to the capital.

In order to show respect, Qianlong specially summoned Xinyue and Keshan.

Keshan was still a child, and his family suddenly broke up, so little Keshan became extremely timid.

Xinyue was also afraid, but she still plucked up the courage to take Keshan's hand and walked in.

"See your Majesty, long live my Emperor."

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xinyue and Keshan bowed and stayed where they were quietly.

"I know everything that happened to Prince Duan. It's such a pity." He deserves to die!

When Xinyue heard about Prince Duan, she immediately became sad. He was her father whom she regarded as her god and who loved her very much.

"I have decided that the two of you will stay at Prince He's residence for a few days, and you can move in after the renovation of Prince Duan's old residence in the capital is completed."

Qianlong also thought carefully about it. First of all, his status. No matter how incompetent Prince Duan was, his status was there, which meant that he could not arrange it at will.

Just like Lan Xin and Qing Er back then.

The difference is that if they were truly descendants of loyal ministers, they would be willing to take good care of Qianlong.

But Xinyue and Keshan are not like that. Their father is a good-for-nothing. However, for various reasons, Qianlong is temporarily unable to make Prince Duan’s crimes public.

The only people in the palace who are qualified to adopt Xinyue are the Queen and the Queen Mother, but they are already taken, so it is really inappropriate.

It's fine to be with the prince. Although Hong Zhou is not a very reasonable person, he is still a proper person when it comes to major matters.

Moreover, Prince He is Qianlong's younger brother and has sufficient status. After much thought, Hongzhou is the most suitable one.

Hong Zhou was also shocked when he heard the news. Although he was reluctant, he still agreed.

He knows exactly when to make a fuss and when to take action.

But the deal was settled with the prince, but Xinyue refused.

"Your Majesty, I have a request that you make." Xinyue suddenly said.

Qianlong's smile froze, but he still allowed Xinyue to speak.

Xinyue seemed not to understand his expression and continued talking to herself.

Perhaps it was not that Xinyue could not understand, but she was so used to being pampered in the palace that she forgot herself for a moment.

In addition, she had something hidden in her mind, and she blurted it out in a moment of desperation.

"Your Majesty, my younger brother Keshan and I have encountered an unexpected incident, and we hope to stay in a familiar home."

Familiar? Who?

Qianlong was completely confused. As far as he knew, Xinyue had never left Jingzhou City before. How could she have such an acquaintance in the capital?

Keshan was a smart child and immediately understood what Xinyue meant.

He then timidly pulled the corner of Xinyue's clothes.

But how could Xinyue give up? She finally mustered up the courage, so she continued speaking without caring about other people's lives.

"Your Majesty, this time, thanks to General Fucha's rescue, my brother and I were able to escape danger. I am extremely grateful. Can you let me and my brother stay in General Fucha's home for a while?"

Qianlong: ???

Fukangan:!!!

Keshan: (??w?? ?)

Qianlong glared at Fukang'an and said, "Fukang'an, you are such a fool! You actually had an affair with someone behind Xier's back!"

Fu Kang'an immediately broke out in a sweat. My goodness, he had nothing to do with Xinyue, God can testify to this!

"Xinyue, you are a princess of the royal palace after all. How can you live in the home of a minister? This is inappropriate."

Qianlong's refusal did not discourage Xinyue.

"Your Majesty, please grant me your blessing." Then he knelt down firmly and kowtowed several times.

Seeing that Xinyue’s argument was not convincing, Qianlong turned to look at Fu Kang’an.

"Fukangan, what do you say?"

"Your Majesty, saving Prince Keshan was a coincidence. Besides, this is my duty, so I don't deserve your gratitude."

"Princess Xinyue, please ask you and the prince to choose another place."

Fu Kang'an's refusal was obvious, and Qianlong's expression eased slightly when he heard it.

At this time, Nu Dahai could no longer sit still. How could he watch Xiao Yueya so sad?

He immediately recommended himself.

"Your Majesty, I wish."

Qianlong has a black question mark face again, and what does this have to do with Nu Dahai?

Xinyue looked at Nu Dahai with emotion. At this moment, Nu Dahai's body became much taller.

Keshan was not happy. He knew with his own imagination that it would be better to live in Prince He's mansion.

One was Qianlong's younger brother, who had a noble status, and the other was Nu Dahai, who was in his forties and still a deputy general.

What do they want?

Keshan didn't understand, but what shocked him even more was that Xinyue was actually considering it.

No!

A strong ominous premonition came to my mind and soon became reality.

Xinyue immediately accepted Nu Dahai's invitation and went there happily.

Keshan was struck by lightning and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Fu Kang'an noticed Keshan's gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let Princess Xinyue and Prince Keshan choose their respective residences?"

Xinyue suddenly raised her head, and the fear in her eyes was clearly visible.

No matter what the situation was, Xinyue never considered that she would be separated from Keshan.

And this was obviously beyond Xin Yue's plan.

How could Fukang'an be so cold and heartless? Xinyue looked at Fukang'an with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't get the slightest response from him.

Qianlong pondered for a moment with an ambiguous expression, and agreed to let the brother and sister choose a place to stay temporarily first.

Xinyue was reluctant. Although she was in love, she was smart. She knew that compared to her, Keshan was more valuable.

In the past, in the palace, Prince Duan's favor allowed her to act as she pleased, but now the situation does not allow her to be willful. Instead, the status of her younger brother, who used to respect her, has risen.

So, she had to hold on to Keshan tightly.

Now that Keshan was clearly trying to get out of her control, she naturally opposed it.

But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Since the emperor has said that Keshan can make his own choice, it will be of no use even if Xinyue blinks her eyes.

Keshan chose the prince without much thought.

The prince was also willing to do so. Compared to Xinyue, who was not very smart, Keshan was much more likable.

Living here is just temporary residence, isn't it? It's no big deal.

Xinyue looked at Keshan in despair. She didn't understand why Keshan didn't listen to her.

Nu Dahai doesn’t care whether Keshan comes or not. It’s best if he doesn’t come, because he can still develop feelings with Xinyue.

At this time, Nu Dahai selectively forgot that his wife and children were waiting for him at home, and what he ended up waiting for was betrayal.

Xinyue wiped away her tears and followed Nu Dahai. Before leaving, she looked at Fukangan reluctantly, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances and longings.

Fukangan: Ugly rejection...
