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

He had so much to say and so many questions to ask.

He wanted to investigate everything that Xu Xinyue encountered tonight, no matter how big or small.

Qin Yuechuan wanted to see who wanted to hurt Xu Xinyue.

Before Qin Yuechuan stood up, he gently kissed Xu Xinyue on the forehead and murmured:

"Have a good sleep, Yueyue. When you wake up, everything will be solved."

When he turned around to leave, Qin Yuechuan concealed the gentle look on his face and said in a cold voice: "Qingyang."

Qingyang dodged and asked, "What do you want, my lord?"

"How is the investigation going? Who did it?"

"Master, the food has been brought in, and the three doctors have confirmed that there is no poison..."

"Who arranged Chikui?"

There are very few northern dishes in the palace, and the sudden presentation of a dish of "Red Sunflower" today, now thinking about it, it was definitely a coincidence, and someone might have done it on purpose.

"It was Princess Zhaoming. She said she suddenly wanted to eat red sunflower, and the palace went through a lot of trouble to buy some."

"Qin Yuling?"

Qin Yuechuan's expression suddenly became solemn. Qin Yuling and Xu Xianyue had no connection at all. Even he had just learned that Chikui and Xu Xianyue had incompatible physiques, so it was impossible that Qin Yuling had taken the initiative to do it.

I'm afraid he's covering for someone... But who could know about such a secret thing first...

One step ahead...

A person suddenly flashed through Qin Yuechuan's mind: Xu Mingxi!

He already knew that Xu Mingxi was also a person who came back home. She and Yueyue had lived in the Xu Mansion for more than ten years. If, in her previous life, Xu Mingxi knew about Yueyue by chance, then everything in this life... would make sense.

Moreover, Xu Mingxi and Qin Yuling have always been good friends. If she asked Qin Yuling for help... On the surface, it wouldn't be a big deal. Qin Yuling would most likely lend a helping hand...

Xu Mingxi...does she really think I won't do anything to her?

Qin Yuechuan's eyes were deep, and he already had a plan in his mind.

Changing the subject, he asked Qingyang, "How is Qingming doing?"

Qingming was sent by Qin Yuechuan to Lizhou a few days ago to secretly investigate the dam project payment issue.

In his previous life, Qin Zhaolie privately misappropriated funds for water conservancy projects, which delayed the construction of the dam. Coincidentally, there were heavy rains after the New Year, causing floods. Lizhou suffered a serious flood, causing countless deaths and injuries, and fertile farmland was destroyed. It was Qin Yuechuan who went to control the flood. Although the situation was slightly alleviated, the losses were still incalculable.

Now he was determined to nip everything in the bud.

"Your Majesty... Mr. Xu sent someone to question... to ask if Miss Xu is in the palace..."

I was so worried about Yueyue that I overlooked this... Qin Yuechuan rubbed his brows helplessly.

"Yueyue is fine now. Don't tell Uncle Xu about this for now, so as not to worry him. Tell the person who came that it's too late today and Yueyue is a little drunk, so she will stay at Prince Rong's mansion for now.

Tomorrow the King will personally send her back to Xu's residence unharmed."

"Yes!"

The morning light is dim and the morning mist is thick.

Xu Xinyue slowly opened her eyes. The sudden events of yesterday had made her a little hazy.

She remembered that during the banquet last night, she suddenly felt uncomfortable halfway through the banquet, and as time went on, she felt more and more uncomfortable... She remembered that it was Qin Yuechuan who took her out of the palace and talked to her a lot on the way...

The memories of last night came flooding back like a wave - she remembered Qin Yuechuan comforting her, and she also remembered that she had cried in front of her...

Xu Xinyue was secretly annoyed with herself: had she ever shown such a vulnerable side when she was unconscious? She was so old, but she was still seeking comfort like a child... How embarrassing!

The slight sound startled Qin Yuechuan, who was sitting on the armchair with his chin supported by his hand and his eyes closed for a nap.

He suddenly opened his eyes, regained consciousness as if he had woken up, and looked up at the couch.

His eyes met Xu Xinyue's dark and moist eyes.

Qin Yuechuan was delighted. He moved to the front of the couch and asked in a soft voice, "Yueyue, you are awake. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Xu Xinyue wanted to get up, Qin Yuechuan helped her sit up slowly, Xu Xinyue raised her head and looked at him shyly: "I'm sorry... I made you worry yesterday..."

Qin Yuechuan shook his head slightly, stretched out his arms and gently held Xu Xinyue in his arms. He finally did what he had longed for in his dream.

Hold her in your arms.

Qin Yuechuan held the back of her head with one hand and gently stroked her back with the other, saying softly, "I am very worried about Yueyue, but it is not Yueyue's fault. Yueyue was also implicated innocently. There is no need to blame yourself."

At first, Xu Xinyue was not quite used to his behavior, but after hearing his words, the bitterness in her heart rose up again and her eyes became moist again.

What's going on? She is obviously not a crybaby, so why does she seem even more fragile in front of him?

Xu Xinyue also raised her arms, hugged Qin Yuechuan's waist, buried her face in his chest, and said sullenly: "Actually, I'm also scared, I cherish my life very much...

I’m afraid of dying, afraid that I’ll never see my father again, never see Uncle Zhang again, never see Xiaochan and Xiaoshu again… I’m even more afraid that I’ll never see… you again…”

Qin Yuechuan listened quietly, rubbing her black hair and caressing her back, giving her the most gentle comfort.

He knew she needed to vent.

"...But I don't know why it turned out like this. I know how you feel, and I wanted to respond to you last night, but, but...I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

"It's okay, Yueyue. As long as you are safe, it will be the greatest response to me. When you were unconscious, I thought that as long as you are safe, even if you don't remember me and can't respond to me, I am willing.

Last night, I was also afraid of losing Yueyue..."

Xu Xinyue broke away from his embrace, staring at him blankly with moist eyes, murmuring unconsciously: "Qin Yuechuan..."

Suddenly realizing that this was not in line with the rules, he subconsciously stopped talking and pursed his lips.

Qin Yuechuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb and chuckled: "It's not the first time you've called me, why are you still shy this time?

I like to hear Yueyue calling my name, and from that day on, I looked forward to hearing Yueyue calling my name again. "

Qin Yuechuan stared at him seriously and asked earnestly:

"Is it okay, Yueyue?"

His eyes were filled with love, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he tried his best to restrain himself and asked carefully.

Xu Xianyue's eyebrows curved, and she opened her lips with a smile: "Qin Yuechuan...Qin Yuechuan...Qin Yuechuan, Qin Yuechuan..."

The voice was neither coquettish nor charming, but very pleasant to the ear. Every time she recited it, it seemed to stir his mind.

Staring at her lips that kept opening and closing, Qin Yuechuan couldn't help but move forward.

Xu Xinyue's lips and teeth suddenly intruded into his breath.

The lips touched each other, like the brush of a soft feather, or like the breeze caressing the petals, gentle and lingering.

In the cool breeze and warm sunshine, the two closed their eyes and felt the blending of each other's breath.
