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

Xu Yuqiong turned to Lu Yu and said, "I will be going to Prince Qi's Mansion in the next few days. Xu Mingxi should not make any moves for the time being. You should keep an eye on Xu Baiyu's movements in the Xu Mansion. We will talk about everything after I come back.

We will hold off for now.”

"I see."

"I need some aphrodisiac fragrance, not too much, just one or two pills will do. Go find some for me."

"That's not necessary. The master knew that we would need these things one day, so he has already prepared them for us."

"So much better."

Xu Yuqiong's beautiful eyes curved, full of determination: "In that case, you will wait for my good news in the mansion."

The next morning, the carriage of Prince Qi's mansion stopped at the gate of Xu's mansion. Xu Yuqiong, wearing a veil and dressed as Xu Mingxi, boarded the carriage slowly.

Xu Baiyu, who was watching in the dark, was filled with resentment, pulling her handkerchief with her fingers, staring at the receding carriage: she had tried to see the person many times but to no avail, and yet Xu Mingxi was taken away so easily like this. It was said that he even had a big tantrum, and it was only after the housekeeper's kind words of persuasion that he "reluctantly" agreed.

Why? Even at this moment, when she had tried her best to get something but couldn't get it, Xu Mingxi still kept pushing it away.

You want to accept but you refuse, how shameless!

This sentence suddenly appeared in Xu Baiyu's mind!

She must go to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, even if she has to disguise herself, to carry out her plan and make Xu Mingxi embarrass herself in front of everyone!

Xu Yuqiong in the carriage slightly closed her eyes, her face calm, and she kept thinking in her mind about what to do when she arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion later.

After an unknown amount of time, someone outside the carriage called out, "Second Miss Xu, we've arrived at Prince Qi's mansion."

Xu Yuqiong opened her eyes, her gaze clear.

She said nothing, got off the carriage, and followed the steward of Prince Qi's mansion to Qin Zhaolie's bedroom.

From a distance, the man inside the door could be heard shouting angrily, "Get out! Get out of here! You can't even apply medicine! Get out!"

The official seemed to be used to it, with no expression on his face. He just subconsciously turned around and glanced at Xu Yuqiong's reaction.

Although she was wearing a veil, Xu Yuqiong looked back at the housekeeper calmly with her beautiful eyes. There was even a hint of inquiry in her eyes, as if to say, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The housekeeper exclaimed: She is worthy of being the daughter of a noble family. Her demeanor is different from others. She is gentle and calm, and never panics in emergencies. A girl like her deserves to be the princess of Prince Qi's Mansion!

The housekeeper shook his head, his attitude becoming more respectful: "There is nothing wrong, Miss Xu, please go in, I will not go in."

Xu Yuqiong nodded, and without a moment's hesitation, she pushed the door open and walked in.

In fact, it was not that she did not hear the sound just now, but she had expected it.

Yesterday, the steward of the Xu residence had already reported in detail that Qin Zhaolie's legs were seriously injured, and even in the later stages, even if he recovered, he might still have difficulty walking.

It is perfectly normal for a royal noble who used to come and go as freely as the wind to have such a reaction when suddenly encountering such a misfortune.

The furious roar continued: "This king is thirsty! Tea!"

Xu Yuqiong glanced sideways and saw a small stove on the nanmu table beside her, with a pot of hot tea warming on it.

Xu Yuqiong picked up the plain white handkerchief placed aside, picked up the teapot and walked towards the couch in the inner room.

Qin Zhaolie was filled with resentment at this moment.

If he had not been ambushed while accompanying his companions a few days ago, how could he have ended up in this situation today!

Who would have thought that the guards of that group of officials were also wearing red cloaks.

What Xuanxiao Pavilion? A bunch of idiots! He had clearly told them that he was not in league with them, but those idiots were unmoved and even killed his people!

If Suye hadn't risked his life to protect me, I would have been dead today!

His legs were injured like this!

Looking at the legs wrapped in white cloth and unable to move at all, Qin Zhaolie frowned and became more and more anxious.

Qin Zhaolie shouted a few words but no one responded. He became extremely annoyed. He picked up the jade pillow beside him and threw it to the ground as if to vent his anger.

With a "bang", the jade pillow fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped next to a pair of Shu brocade embroidered shoes. The person who came was Xu Yuqiong who was about to lift the curtain and get closer.

She was slightly startled, but after a moment, she returned to normal, and acted as if she had not heard Qin Zhaolie's abuse and scolding.

She simply took a emerald jade cup from the small table beside the couch, slowly poured in tea, gently swirled the tea, blew away the curling hot steam through the veil, and when the temperature was right, she presented it to Qin Zhaolie with both hands.

"Are you planning to let me do it myself? Can't you see that I'm injured?"

Qin Zhaolie did not see the shame and anger in her eyes as he had expected. The person in front of him just hesitated for a moment, and then obediently brought the teacup to his lips. Qin Zhaolie drank the tea bit by bit from her hand.

After drinking the tea, Xu Yuqiong picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped away all the water stains on his lips.

Qin Zhaolie was suspicious. He had heard about the empress dowager's decree, and the person who came should be Xu Mingxi.

However, this action seems inconsistent with Xu Mingxi's usual behavior.

After the affairs in Lizhou were dealt with, Qin Yuechuan prepared to rush back to Kyoto before the Queen Mother's birthday.

"The plan was very successful. Qin Zhaolie suffered a lot and broke both his legs. I'm afraid he will be unable to walk for the next few months. It's still unknown whether he can go to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Qin Yuechuan seemed dissatisfied: "Both legs were broken? He actually left one leg for him."

"It was Su Ye who was beside Prince Qi who tried his best to protect him, so... um? Your Majesty...?"

Qingyang didn't react for a moment and didn't know which leg Qin Yuechuan was referring to.

Qin Yuechuan was unwilling to explain more on this matter: "I asked you to choose a birthday gift a few days ago. How did you choose?"

"All the gifts we collected have been stored in the warehouse. Your Majesty, would you like to take a look?"

"Well, lead the way."

On the way to the warehouse, Qin Yuechuan ran into Xu Xinyue who had just come out of Xu Yuanshan's courtyard.

Xu Xinyue saw him and walked towards him with a smile.

Qingyang could feel that Qin Yuechuan's fierce aura had obviously softened a lot since he met Xu Xinyue just now.

Qin Yuechuan said in a low and soft voice: "Did Yueyue just come out from Uncle Xu's place?"

"Well, Daddy is much better now, but he still has difficulty moving. We recently returned to Kyoto ahead of schedule. The journey is too long, and I'm afraid he can't go with us. He probably needs to stay here for a while."

"Don't worry, Yueyue. I will send someone to stay here to take good care of Uncle Xu."

"Well! Where are you going?"

"Let's go to the storehouse to pick out birthday gifts for the old lady. Yueyue will come with us?"

Qin Yuechuan never tried to hide his disgust for the Queen Mother in front of Xu Xinyue. He knew that his Yueyue would definitely stand on his side.

"it is good."

Qin Yuechuan naturally held her hand, interlocked their fingers, and walked slowly towards the warehouse together.
