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

"..."

Qin Yuechuan was forced to interrupt what he was about to say.

He looked towards the women's seats, his brows furrowed.

Xu Xinyue didn't know what had happened. Xu Mingxi, who had been sitting next to her just now, suddenly... fell straight towards her, with his eyes closed, unconscious.

She was startled and lost consciousness for a moment, then she quietly felt Xu Mingxi's pulse:

The blood is flowing smoothly, nothing serious is wrong... so it is...

Pretending?

The emperor above also heard the exclamation: "What's the commotion?"

Xu Guanghai hurried to the palace and apologized to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my daughter who was injured a few days ago. I think it was a relapse of the old injury. I disturbed your Majesty's interest. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

"Take her away and get a doctor for her."

The Xu family members retreated to the side hall.

But he knew that his son loved the daughter of the Xu family very much.

Now that she is unconscious, he will surely follow her...

Huh? Wait! Why is he still standing here?

What? Is this reward more important than that Miss Xu?

The emperor was suspicious and thought: Now that my sons have grown up, they are becoming more and more incomprehensible.

"Chuan'er, what did you want to say just now?"

"..."

Now that Xu Mingxi has made a fuss, it’s hard to talk about canceling the engagement.

Instead, it seems that he is taking advantage of someone's misfortune and is unkind.

"I want to ask for a promise from your Majesty. This promise has nothing to do with state affairs or the court. It only concerns myself. If I need it in the future, I hope your Majesty will grant it."

"It has nothing to do with state affairs, nothing to do with the court, it only concerns myself? That's all?"

"Yes."

The emperor stared at Qin Yuechuan for a moment, wondering whether he really had no desires or whether his desires were complicated. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"I'm sure."

Qin Yuechuan bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Father!"

At this time, the Xu family members in the side hall, except Xu Xinyue, Xu Guanghai and Yang, were all looking at the imperial physician anxiously while he was taking Xu Mingxi's pulse.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?"

The imperial physician felt her pulse for a long while but could not find anything wrong with her.

I had a guess in my mind.

"It's just that your Qi and blood are a little insufficient. I think it's because of an old injury that hasn't healed yet. Just eat more nourishing food and have a good rest."

"Thank you, doctor."

After the imperial physician left, Xu Mingxi no longer needed to pretend and slowly opened his eyes, pretending to have just woken up.

"Xi'er, you scared me to death. You don't need to go back. After the banquet, I will take you back. You must have a good rest here."

Xu Mingxi replied gloomily: "I understand, mother."

Before the banquet ended, Xu Xinyue finally found an opportunity to whisper to Xia Xueyao.

Xia Xueyao was still in shock over today's incident: "I always feel that things are not that simple. Why would these gentlemen suddenly ask for permission to marry me? I don't even know their young masters!"

"I also think that someone must have secretly helped this matter... No matter what, the Hu family should not dare to come to propose marriage."

"I don't know either... After all, my stepmother probably won't plan a marriage for me in the short term."

The two laughed and joked for a while, then said goodbye when the banquet was over and walked towards their respective carriages.

However, he did not expect that there was only one carriage at the carriage stop.

When we arrived, Yang's car was nowhere to be found.

Xu Xinyue was puzzled and asked Xiaoshu:

"Why are you alone? Where are Lord Xu and the others?"

Xiao Shu said unhappily, "Master Xu and Madam Xu said they were worried about the health of the second young lady, so they went back early."

Xu Xinyue didn't say much and prepared to get on the carriage.

Suddenly she heard someone calling her.

"Miss Xu, the prince wants to see you."

Xu Xinyue turned around and saw a dark and strong young man.

He seems to be someone close to His Royal Highness Prince Rong.

The visitor's answer confirmed her guess:

"My name is Qingyang, and I am the attendant of Prince Rong. Our prince invites Miss Xu to enter the carriage for a chat."

Xu Xinyue was a little hesitant, as it seemed inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to ride in the same carriage.

"Miss Xu, don't worry. With the prince here, no one will dare to interfere."

"In that case, lead the way."

Entering Qin Yuechuan's carriage, we saw the roof was made of ebony, the floor was paved with soft cushions, and the inner walls of the carriage had dark patterns.

In the middle of the mahogany low table was embedded a luminous pearl the size of an adult's fist. It emitted a fluorescent glow, making the entire carriage as bright as day.

It's so low-key and luxurious.

Qin Yuechuan sat upright in the main seat of the carriage, his posture as straight as a pine or cypress.

He is never a smiling person.

Ever since she came in, his eyes have never left her figure.

Xu Xinyue consciously sat at the side seat.

She was fearless, looked at him steadily, and spoke directly:

"Why did the prince summon me here?"

Qin Yuechuan was silent for a while, without saying much, and took out a piece of letter from his arms.

He placed the letter on the mahogany table and pushed it in front of her.

"What is this?" Xu Xinyue did not reach out to take it immediately.

She asked Qin Yuechuan with a puzzled look.

"It was sent from the Port Transportation Department. It's about your father."

After hearing about his father and seeing Qin Yuechuan's serious expression, Xu Xinyue's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

She took the letter and read the contents carefully. The more she read, the heavier her heart felt.

Although there was not much content, Xu Xinyue's face turned pale when he read the last sentence.

"Your Majesty! My father..."

"This matter is of great importance, and I will handle it impartially. If your father is truly innocent, I will definitely protect him.

I am informing you now to avoid you being unprepared if the Xu family is summoned by the government office in the future."

After a pause, he said, "It's a little inappropriate for me to say this, but Xu Guanghai is not a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He is likely to stay out of the matter or... just stand by and watch.

you……"

In his previous life, Xu Guanghai used Xu Mingxi more than he loved her. His love also required something in return, and he would never give extra affection to unimportant people.

Xu Xinyue understood and lowered her eyes to think for a moment.

She handed the letter back to Qin Yuechuan and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you for telling me, Your Majesty. My father and I have exchanged many letters. If there are any clues in them, I will definitely tell Your Majesty first."

Qin Yuechuan nodded.

"It's just... I don't understand why the prince suddenly wants to help me?"

Although she was very happy about Qin Yuechuan's help, they had no previous interactions.

She is from the third branch of the Xu family, and it is too far-fetched to say that it was because of Xu Mingxi.

Qin Yuechuan did not evade or evade, and said seriously:

"Although Mr. Xu San is a businessman, he has done a lot of good things for Beixuan over the years, and is truly a 'righteous businessman'.

Master Xu San has wealth but he is able to maintain his integrity. I do not believe that such a person would do such a dirty thing that would undermine the foundation of the country."

Xu Xinyue heard this without any doubt:

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Just as she was about to lift the carriage curtain, Qin Yuechuan suddenly spoke again: "I'm afraid that Master Xu San is currently imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. If you want to see him, come and find me.

You don’t need to worry about his safety.”

After hearing this, Xu Xinyue bowed deeply to her in gratitude and got out of the car.

Until he watched her return to the Xu family's carriage.

Qin Yuechuan called out to the outside of the car: "Qingyang."

"What are your orders, Master?"

"Have you found the business on the list?"

In Qin Yuechuan's previous life, he was plotted against by Qin Zhaolie and had to retreat to the northern border. The northern border was bitterly cold and not suitable for cultivating fertile farmland, so he could only rely on food and fodder allocated by the imperial court.

But Qin Zhaolie originally wanted to kill him in battle and let him die in the northern border, so how could he guarantee his food and grass supply?

Only a few "righteous businessmen" jointly and spontaneously raised money for her to donate food and fodder, which ensured that his army in the northern border would not starve to death.

At that time, he noticed that the food and grass bags and carriages had the logos of various food stores. At that time, he thought: If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely thank the benevolent merchants. Unfortunately...

In this life, he still remembered the names of those merchants. It would be better to support them in advance, quietly take them under his command, and give them shelter.

To run the grain business, it would be much smoother if you have a backer. If these individual merchants have no boss, he doesn't mind being their backer.

Qingyang's voice came again: "Your Highness, most of them have been found. They are all small grain merchants. Only one grain merchant named 'Baogu' has not been found yet."

Treasure Valley...

In fact, among the group of individual merchants in the previous life, the largest grain company was the "Baogu Grain Company"...

Qin Yuechuan's eyes were deep as he ordered:

"Keep looking."

"Yes."
