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

Xu Xinyue sat in front of the dressing table mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with her brows slightly furrowed.

What on earth had he forgotten? Was it really as Qin Yuechuan said, that he was just entrusted by his father and mother to take care of him?

Why is it him and not someone else in the Xu Mansion?

She thought and recalled desperately, and even though her head was splitting, she was still eager to fill the blank memories in her mind.

"What's wrong with me..."

She put her hand to her forehead and murmured in pain.

The door opened with a creaky sound.

Xiao Chan entered the room quietly with her toiletries. She was slightly surprised when she saw Xu Xinyue sitting in front of the mirror. "Miss, you woke up so early today? I was worried that I might have woken you up."

Xu Xinyue took the toiletries and washed them silently, an idea came to her mind.

When Xiaochan was combing her hair, Xu Xianyue said, "Xiaochan, I took a nap and I seem to remember something."

Xiao Chan was surprised and happy: "It's good news, Miss, are you going to tell the prince later? He will definitely be happy to hear it."

"Not for now, just a little bit. I only remembered one name, but I don't know who it was."

"Who did the young lady remember?"

"A man named He Xuehuai, do you know him?"

"Um...Miss, he-he is your uncle. Do you remember him?"

Xu Xinyue was a little shocked. She suppressed her impulse to turn back to Xiaochan and said calmly, "It seems like I have some impression... but I can't remember it clearly."

Xiao Chan is a thoughtful person and will not respond rashly before she is sure to what extent Xu Xinyue's memory has recovered.

She thought about it, weighed it over again and again, and asked tentatively: "Miss, is this all you remember? Do you still remember anything about the master?"

After Xiao Chan finished speaking, she lowered her head guiltily, pretending to focus all her attention on combing her hair, while anxiously waiting for Xu Xinyue's answer.

"About Daddy?" Xu Xinyue tried her best to keep her tone calm and just talk normally. Little did she know that it was precisely because of this that Xiaochan felt mixed emotions.

I sighed in my heart: The young lady still hasn't remembered. If she knew that the master was probably already...how could she still be so calm?

Xu Xinyue's heart suddenly jumped for no reason, and she kept asking, "Xiaochan, what happened to Daddy?"

"Nothing, young lady. The master said that the journey is long and I'm afraid it will take some time to come back."

"Really?" Xu Xinyue was suspicious. Xiao Chan's reaction just now was very strange. If that was true, why did she react like that?

And Qin Yuechuan, every time this issue is brought up, he avoids answering it, using the same rhetoric as Xiao Chan.

Various speculations flashed through Xu Xinyue's mind, and each one made her feel uneasy.

On the other side, Qin Yuechuan was reading the evidence presented by Sun You.

Sure enough, in recent years, Qin Zhaolie was involved not only in the dam project funds, but also in the Lizhou grain depot, silver depot and other aspects.

Although it is only a little bit each time, but over the years, it adds up to a lot. It is really like a thousand-mile dam being breached by an ant hole.

It must not just be Lizhou.

If you think about it carefully, among the twenty-six states in Beixuan, even if not all of them, at least several are under his control. Where does all this money go every year?

Qin Yuechuan tapped the table with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind: station troops.

Since he had planned to destroy the Northern Frontier Army in his previous life, he must have been fully confident and knew that even if the Northern Frontier Army was defeated, his position would not be shaken!

Thinking of this, Qin Yuechuan clenched his palms. The blue veins on the back of his hands bulged and the meridians were clearly visible. He even clenched his hands too hard, and the joints even turned slightly white.

"Qingfeng, Sun You is no longer valuable. Get rid of him?"

This was not the first time that Qin Yuechuan had said that he was going to deal with Sun You, but Qing Feng still couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, I am overstepping my authority, is this a bit..."

"He's heartless? He wants to join me but I want to get rid of him as soon as possible?

Qingfeng, although he didn't appear to be on the same side as Qin Zhaolie, he had one foot on that side. I'm afraid these evidences were his backup.

If there comes a day, in order to save his life, he will also sell out the king in exchange for benefits and future.

What I need is absolute loyalty from beginning to end.

This person must not be allowed to stay."

After hearing what he said, Qing Feng no longer had any doubts: "I am short-sighted. I will do it right away."

Qin Yuechuan closed his eyes, not because he had a long-term vision, but because this was a lesson he had learned through blood in his lifetime.

Kindness is sometimes not a help but a hindrance.

In this life, he was afraid that he would fail to live up to his mother's last words.

Just as Qing Feng was about to leave, Qin Yuechuan stopped him again: "I have some arrangements for Qin Zhaolie. Please give them the order."

The next day, a woman's shrill scream pierced the inky sky.

When Sun You's wife opened her eyes, she saw her husband lying beside her with a dagger stuck in his heart. His body was already cold and his blood seemed to have been drained out.

There was chaos throughout the Sun residence. They reported the case to the police, conducted an autopsy, and collected the remains in one go.

A token was found in the corner of the sleeping scene, and Qin Yuechuan recognized it as something from Kyoto.

Although the deceased was the Lizhou prefect, the government knew that Sun You had probably offended some powerful person whom he shouldn't have offended, and was brutally murdered. If they wanted to keep the matter peaceful, they must not investigate it further.

The government knew about this matter, and so did the young master of the Sun family. They had no choice but to suppress it with tears in their eyes and only announced to the public that he had died of illness, while keeping the real cause of death secret.

"Qin Yuechuan, what's going on outside?"

Since the last high fever, Qin Yuechuan took time out every day to watch Xu Xinyue drink the bowl of bitter and astringent medicine with his own eyes.

"Nothing. I heard someone died of illness."

"Dead? Who is it?"

"It seems to be the prefect, Sun You."

“Sun You!?” Xu Xinyue swallowed the last mouthful of medicine, took the honey fruit he handed over, and asked vaguely: “Didn’t we attend the banquet together a few days ago? How come he suddenly died of illness!?”

Qin Yuechuan said calmly: "Maybe it's just bad luck."

Xu Xinyue didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the subject: "Qin Yuechuan, do you know where Daddy and Mommy went?"
