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

If she had anything to ask him, it would be...

"prescription."

Thinking of the key point, Xu Xinyue murmured unconsciously.

Thinking back carefully, He Xuehuai had always said from the beginning that only Frost Fire could cure her physical condition.

But since she woke up, she seemed to rarely hear these two words from He Xuehuai.

She had been so sad these days that she even ignored whether there was any other way to treat it!

Xu Xinyue seemed to have seen through the secret. She put down the medicine bowl, stood up in a daze, and walked towards the door.

"Miss! Where are you going? It's too late now and it's so cold outside. Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"tomorrow……"

He suddenly thought of something, walked to the door, opened it, and blew lightly the black jade whistle in his hand towards the bright moonlight.

A black shadow fell instantly.

"Xuan Yi greets the master. What does the master want me to do?"

"Who is stronger in martial arts, you or He Xuehuai?"

Xu Xinyue went straight to the point.

Xuan Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "We have never fought each other, so I don't know what the Duke of Zhenguo is like."

Xu Xinyue sighed: That’s right, they have never fought each other, so how could they know how strong He Xuehuai is compared to him.

It seems that I have to give up the plan of stealing the prescription from He Xuehuai for the time being.

If you want to know the truth about this matter, you have to find another way.

Xu Xianyue lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "You may be able to find out if there are any fire toads for sale in pharmacies or other places recently? I also want to know, if anyone has bought them, I also want to know who bought them."

As if worried that he would say no, Xu Xinyue added:

"This shouldn't be difficult. Fire toads are rare medicinal materials in ordinary medicine shops, so we should be able to locate them quickly."

"By the way, let me find out what my uncle is busy with these days."

Xuan Yi had no expression on his face. He responded with just one word: "Yes." Then he disappeared into the dark night.

Xu Xinyue clenched her hands. She felt that her guess was right, but she also hoped that she was wrong.

She came here all the way just to avoid that result, always thinking that maybe He Xuehuai really had other ways, but the current situation made her heart fall to the bottom again.

She stood at the door, her shoulders were empty without her knowing, and she didn't even notice when her wind-proof robe slipped to the ground.

"Miss, please come in. It's cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold. You need to drink another dose of cold medicine."

Xu Xinyue turned around and returned to the room in a daze. She sat on the bed, hugged her knees and curled up into a ball, buried her face in her arms, and said in a muffled voice:

"What to do, little cicada."

Although Xiao Chan didn't know what happened, she still asked her with concern: "Ah? Miss, what should we do? Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I seem to have caused trouble for others..."

"Involve? Miss, who are you going to implicate?"

"..."

Xu Xinyue didn't answer and continued to keep her head down.

Xiao Chan guessed: "Is it the Duke of Zhenguo?"

There was no echo.

Xiao Chan guessed again: "Could it be Prince Rong?"

Xu Xinyue half raised her head, her misty eyes staring blankly ahead, then turned to look at Xiao Chan, as if she was a child who had made a mistake.

"It seems so. Although I don't know what happened, it seems to me that His Royal Highness Prince Rong has never felt that the young lady's affairs are a burden."

"This time is different—"

Xu Xinyue rested her chin on her knees, twisting the thin quilt beside her with her hands, looking like she was about to cry.

The voice is also aggrieved:

"He - he got something with great difficulty, but he probably lost it because of me."

"Miss, isn't it said that if you lose something, you gain something, and if you gain something, you lose something? It should be the same for His Royal Highness Prince Rong, right?"

"..."

"How does Miss know? Compared to what he lost, perhaps what he gained in return is what he cherishes more."

Xu Xinyue looked up at Xiaochan, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Seeing her tangled look, Xiao Chan changed the subject: "However, now it's just Miss's guess. When the big brother in black brings back the news tomorrow, Miss will know whether it is as you think. Perhaps, things may turn around."

"Well, maybe..."

His mind was in a mess and he tossed and turned, but Xu Xinyue still couldn't sleep all night.

She watched the ink color outside the window change from dark to light, and the light change from dark to bright.

At about 12:00 a.m., a slight "knock knock" sound came from the window frame, accompanied by a low-pitched male voice calling out, "Master."

Xu Xianyue quickly stood up, opened the window, and asked impatiently, "How is it? Any news?"

In fact, she was really looking forward to Xuanyi's answer: No, no one has ever bought a fire toad.

However, things did not go as he wished, and he still heard Xuan Yi say: "Someone did buy a fire toad a few days ago. It is rare in the market, and someone once spent a lot of money to buy one in the dark market."

Xu Xianyue's heartstrings were tense: "Who is it...?"

"The boss of the Dark Market said that the man was masked and was wearing a dark-colored suit and a dark iron wrist guard."

Dark tights and black iron wristbands are the uniform attire of the guards in Prince Rong's mansion.

He also briefly talked about the places He Xuehuai had been visiting recently.

Xu Xinyue closed her eyes, exhaled heavily, waved her hand and said, "I know, it's okay, you can go down."

After Xuan Yi left, Xu Xinyue supported herself on the table with both hands, lowered her head, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Without waiting for Xiao Chan to come in and help her wash up, she dressed herself and walked towards He Xuehuai's courtyard in the morning light.

He Xuehuai had the habit of practicing martial arts every morning. When Xu Xinyue entered the courtyard, he had already sheathed his sword. He took the towel handed to him by Chen Song beside him, wiped the sweat off his face and walked out of the door.

Chen Song was the first to see Xu Xinyue, and signaled He Xuehuai to look towards the gate of the courtyard.

He Xuehuai turned around and saw that her face was solemn, her brows were cold, and she looked like a goddess descending in the thin sunlight. However, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

In order to avoid Xu Xinyue, he has been going out early and coming back late recently. He has never met her, let alone revealed a word to her. She shouldn't have come to do it to him because of that incident.

He Xuehuai still acted as if nothing had happened, and greeted Xu Xinyue as usual: "Yueyue, why did you get up so early today?"

Xu Xinyue pulled her lips and laughed coldly: "If I hadn't come earlier, my uncle would have been busy with work again and wouldn't have come back before I fell asleep."

"How could that be? I've been really busy these days and really can't spend time with Yueyue. Is Yueyue feeling a little bored? I can ask someone to..."

"Yes, my uncle has been very busy lately. He has been busy drinking tea and listening to books in teahouses, and listening to music in music halls. No wonder he gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and is not at home all day."

He Xuehuai felt strange listening to her housekeeper-like words. They were uncle and nephew, but why did he feel like he was being taken out for a drink and then caught in bed with someone else?

Isn't it normal for him to go to these places at his age?

Why is it that when she said this today, there seemed to be a chilly breeze blowing?

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked straight at Xu Xinyue without uttering another word.

"Uncle is silent now. Does that mean he admits it?"
