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

Xu Xinyue in the main hall had no intention of actively chatting with the Queen Mother. She only responded simply when the Queen Mother asked:

"Um"

"Indeed."

"The Queen Mother is wise."

"The Queen Mother is absolutely right."

The empress dowager was so upset that she felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.

She was a little confused about what kind of person Xu Xinyue was.

If you say she is a weak person, then her sharp confrontation with Zhou Luer just now, with her undisguised sharpness, is enough to prove that she is a person with strong will.

How come she was like cotton again? When she punched him, there was no reaction at all. The soft response made her heart feel even more depressed.

The exhilarating feeling of having accomplished nothing.

Xu Xinyue was bored as she dealt with the Queen Mother's provocations, silently calculating the time in her heart.

It’s almost a quarter of an hour…

While he was counting in his mind, he saw Qin Yuechuan striding in from the entrance of the main hall with an expressionless face and sitting directly next to Xu Xinyue.

The Queen Mother had a bad feeling: "Why are you alone? Where is Miss Zhou?"

Qin Yuechuan did not answer.

After a while, Zhou Luer returned to the main hall listlessly, like an eggplant hit by frost, no longer as excited as when she first appeared.

She did not sit down immediately, but walked to the center of the hall, in front of the Queen Mother, and suddenly knelt down with her forehead on the ground:

"I beg the Queen Mother to withdraw her order and cancel the engagement between me and Prince Rong."

The Queen Mother had never expected this result: "What nonsense are you talking about! Haven't you always wanted to--"

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I regret my sins. I know I am not worthy of Prince Rong. From now on, I will never mention this matter again."

The plan was disrupted, and the Queen Mother's eyes went dark for a few breaths: "You!?"

"What on earth did you tell her?!"

The Queen Mother suppressed her anger and scolded Qin Yuechuan.

“I didn’t say anything. I just explained the rules, punishments, and rewards of Prince Rong’s Mansion one by one, and Miss Zhou regretted it.

They say that my palace is a den of dragons and tigers, and they would never set foot in it again. "

He glanced at Zhou Luer who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Am I right, Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Luer shuddered, remembering the last words Qin Yuechuan said before he left: "If you don't want to die, just agree to whatever I say."

"Yes... Queen Mother, what Prince Rong said is true."

"good very good!"

Qin Yuechuan saw that his goal had been achieved, so he took Xu Xinyue's hand and stood up and said, "Queen Mother, if there is nothing else, the prince and the princess will take their leave first."

Afterwards, without caring about the Queen Mother's expression, he strode away.

Xu Xinyue saw that although Qin Yuechuan had solved the problem, he did not look happy at all: "What's wrong? Isn't it good that the problem has been solved? Why are you still frowning?"

Qin Yuechuan turned his head and frowned, saying, "Just now, in order to scare her, I had no choice but to touch her. Now I still feel uncomfortable."

He briefly told Xu Xinyue about the act of intimidating Zhou Luer in the side hall.

Xu Xinyue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "So that's how you dissuade her?"

"She is just a delicate young lady who only relies on her father and brother. I don't even need to use her father and brother as leverage. She is already trembling with fear at the slightest physical pain.

only--"

He lowered his eyes and unconsciously twisted the fingers that had just touched Zhou Luer, his eyes showing disgust without disguising, "I just feel uncomfortable and want to clean my hands."

Seeing that he was seriously angry, Xu Xinyue chuckled and pulled his hand over: "Is this the hand?"

"Yeah." Qin Yuechuan responded in a deep voice.

Xu Xinyue smiled and held his hand.

Qin Yuechuan's palms were broad, his fingers were long, and his joints were distinct. In comparison, her fingers looked much smaller and more slender.

She brought his fingers close to her, and her lips gently paused and brushed across his fingertips like a butterfly landing on a flower.

Qin Yuechuan's breathing stagnated slightly, as if he had not expected Xu Xinyue to do such a thing.

The tingling sensation at his fingertips made him feel itchy inside.

The deepest sweetness in her eyes, hidden by her long eyelashes, was indelible. She curled her fingers silently, as if she wanted to keep something in her palm forever.

Xu Xinyue raised her head and narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile filled them:

"Okay, do you feel relieved now?"

"Ok!"

Xu Xinyue let go of his hand and glared at him with a half-smile: "Childish."

……

At this time, after Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan left, the Queen Mother no longer concealed her emotions and walked in front of Zhou Luer angrily. With a clang, she slammed her dragon head stick in front of Zhou Luer and said, "Now, can you tell me why you regret it?"

Zhou Luer was filled with fear and panic, and was quickly thinking of a countermeasure. At this moment, she felt that her situation was no exaggeration to say that she was walking on thin ice.

Having just been threatened by Qin Yuechuan, Zhou Luer didn't want to offend him.

But the Queen Mother in front of her forced her to give an answer immediately. Could it be that her intention had been discovered by Qin Yuechuan just now? Or was it accidentally exposed by her?

If the Queen Mother knew the truth, it would make her more sad than death.

Zhou Luer had no choice but to tell the Queen Mother Qin Yuechuan's threatening words in a vague, half-true and half-false manner, and she also exaggerated them.

"That's it, you were frightened out of your wits, deserted the battlefield, and regretted not marrying into Prince Rong's mansion!?

Where was your original determination? When I saw you at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I thought you were a person with ideas and ambitions. I didn't expect that you were just a quail!

A quail is nothing without its nest!"

In a rage, he waved his hand and wanted to slap Zhou Luer a few times to vent his anger.

Zhou Luer knew that there was no way to escape her fate, and that hiding would only lead to greater punishment. She closed her eyes with tears in her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.

But at this moment, a weak gasp stopped her action: "Grandmother, wait a minute, this person is still useful."

The empress dowager looked up and saw a tall green figure slowly entering the hall. He was thin, like a wet green bamboo, haggard and weak, and his face was pale, like thin paper, and bloodless.

It’s the eldest prince Qin Liexing.

"Grandmother, there is still a glimmer of hope for this matter."

"Lie'er, what else can you do?"

"If the open way doesn't work, then let's do it secretly."

The Queen Mother turned around and stepped onto the throne again: "Miss Zhou, since you have agreed to be my wife, it is not up to you to decide whether you are willing or not, or whether you want to marry or not."

Zhou Luer still had her head down, and it was not until this moment that she realized what kind of cage she had walked into for that tiny delusion.

From the moment she made the request to enter Prince Rong's mansion, the right to choose was no longer in her hands.

Like a moth, it flies towards the fire it thinks will warm it, but unexpectedly, it uses the light as bait and confuses its vision to die.

The pain on the flesh wound on his hands had not been bandaged in time and was only lightly hidden in his sleeves. The pain in his fingertips was far less than the regret and pain in his heart.

Qin Lie walked to Zhou Lu'er's side, looking down at her without even looking at her, and casually threw down a purse, his voice unable to tell whether he was happy or angry: "This is a charm fragrance, take it and apply it on your body. I have my own arrangements for what you need to do."
