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

So, was Yueyue in her previous life really like that "piyan", living alone for the rest of her life?

The fishy and salty smell in the throat rose again.

But at this moment, in order to avoid Xu Xinyue's worry, Qin Yuechuan swallowed it.

"Huh? Why are you asking this? Don't you want me to be your wife? Then why would I live alone?"

Xu Xinyue wrapped the imperial edict again: "Qin Yuechuan, you worry too much."

"Well, I will always be with Yueyue and won't let that happen."

"Yes! But, speaking of which, where did my mother and father go? I still need to talk to them about this.

Guard Qingyang said you knew it.

My mother has been in poor health in recent years and needs someone by her side. I haven't seen her for a long time and I'm worried about her. My mother must be worried about me too."

Xu Xinyue was a little worried, and her hands unconsciously twisted a corner of the fabric of the cloth bag.

"Your father found a doctor who might be able to cure your mother. He—he took your mother to see the doctor, and he might not be back for some time.

You entrusted me to take care of you. You left in a hurry without even saying goodbye to you. You asked me to tell you not to worry."

This is the most appropriate "excuse" Qin Yuechuan has thought of recently.

"Really? Really?"

Xu Xianyue's eyes were full of stars, and she was overjoyed. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and said, "That's great. Mother is getting better!"

Qin Yuechuan didn't know whether this was right or wrong. If Yueyue was destined to wake up and endure the pain, he would let her be happy for a while at this moment.

Seeing Qingyang peeking out of the door, as if he had something to report, Qin Yuechuan told Xu Xinyue not to run around and went elsewhere.

"Master, the progress in Lizhou is going smoothly. We must set off with Zheng Rang."

"Yes. Leave a few people to take care of Uncle Xu. For all the casualties who traveled with them, the injured will be left here to recuperate, and if there are any deaths, their families will be comforted. Let's set off with Yueyue."

Qingyang agreed and went downstairs to prepare.

The rain stopped and the sky cleared, and the clouds dispersed as the sun rose.

Xu Xinyue was confused at the moment. Although she didn't know why she had to go to Lizhou, she relied on Qin Yuechuan instinctively and believed in him, so she followed him on the road safely.

Following Qingyang's instructions, Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan were careful in what they said and did along the way. They did not dare to mention anything about Xu Yuanshan, for fear of causing Xu Xinyue to get into trouble again.

The mountain road to Lizhou is the only way, Qin Yuechuan deliberately asked Xu Xinyue to ride in the same carriage with him, and deliberately attracted her attention along the way to prevent her from being reminded of the past.

"Qin Yuechuan, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm so tired. I want to rest."

Qin Yuechuan responded gently: "Okay, since Yueyue wants to rest, I'll ask them to slow down their journey."

Qingyang, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, felt deeply for Qin Yuechuan:

It is really not easy for the prince. He has to review official documents and at the same time take care of Miss Xu.

Qin Yuechuan in the carriage did not know what Qingyang was thinking. He only flipped through the report from Kyoto:

Apart from some miscellaneous trivialities, the main event was that He Xue's nostalgic illness relapsed and he stayed indoors. Also, the Xu Mansion received the imperial decree granting marriage to Qin Zhaolie and Xu Mingxi.

There is also the Autumn Appreciation Banquet hosted by the Queen Mother.

Qin Yuechuan didn't believe that He Xuehuai had any old illness, and was afraid that he was planning something in secret.

As for Xu Mingxi, Qin Yuechuan was glad that he never made the same mistake again in his life.

Until recently, he finally understood what the Taoist priest had said:

Clinging to the past and drowning in the illusions of the present world are like a dream or a bubble. If you are lost in the present and lose the true fruit, it will be difficult to achieve ultimate nirvana.

So that’s how it is!

Was it because he was too kind and indecisive before that led to the current situation?

If I let go of my obsession sooner, I might be able to escape from the "illusion of this world" more quickly, and perhaps reunite with Yueyue sooner.

*

Xu Mingxi, who was thousands of miles away, clenched his fists as he looked at the festive red-sealed box.

Qin Zhaolie sent the betrothal gifts immediately after the imperial edict was issued.

Seeing her gloomy face, Yang guessed what she was thinking: "Xi'er, this is your last chance. You must not be so petty again and break off the engagement with Prince Qi. If you break off the engagement again, I'm afraid no one will dare to come and ask for your hand in marriage.

Your father will not let you go, and none of us will have a good ending."

Xu Mingxi had been thinking about it for many days. She thought that if she was destined to be unable to escape Qin Zhaolie's clutches in this life, she might as well go to his palace and let him use what he knew from his previous life to turn his harem upside down in front of her eyes.

It severed his connection and trust with other important officials.

In this life, even if it means destroying ourselves together, we will never let him succeed.

Xu Mingxi exhaled a breath of foul air, patted Rong's wrist, and said calmly: "Don't worry, mother, I know my limits. This time, I will be 'obedient' and wait to be married. I will not let you and father down."

Xu Guanghai rushed over upon hearing the news and happened to hear Xu Mingxi's words. He nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Xi'er is still sensible. The future prosperity and decline of the Xu family depends on you.

I have sent a message to your elder brother. If he hears that you are getting married, he will definitely come to see you off.

Your second uncle and his family will also come to Kyoto to see you off to marriage."

When she heard the word "big brother", Xu Mingxi's eyes flickered. The people who treated her best in this world were her mother and big brother.

Big brother loves her so much, he will definitely be willing to help her.

He still had to find a way to obtain evidence from Prince Qi's Mansion, let his eldest brother know Qin Zhaolie's sinister intentions, and let him persuade his father to cut off contact with Qin Zhaolie as soon as possible. Then, he could find a way to get out of this situation.

As long as Qin Zhaolie can't take that position, the Xu family still has a glimmer of hope. Except Qin Zhaolie, no matter who takes that position, as long as the Xu family can be preserved, she can accept it!

In such a short period of time, Xu Mingxi's mind had been in a thousand turns, and she had already foreseen that she would be walking on thin ice in the future.

However, she would not give up. No matter what the situation was, since God had given her a chance to start over, she would do her best to protect the one she loved.

Even if she was imprisoned or in a dangerous place, she would fight with all her might.

Before that, there are still many things to prepare.

Xu Mingxi no longer watched the people coming in and out of the Xu Mansion. With happy faces, he led Jin'er back to Chaohui Courtyard.

"Jin'er, I have something for you to do, go to the pharmacy.

Buy according to the list I gave you. Remember not to buy all at one store. Go to a few stores and collect the required items. Remember to cover your face and don’t let outsiders know. Collect the required items within seven days.”

Jin Er saw that she was serious and knew that this matter was very important. Although she didn't know what Xu Mingxi wanted to do, she nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I won't let you down."

Next, Xu Mingxi had to sort out the connections between the people in Qin Zhaolie's harem in advance.
