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

After applying the ointment, Qin Lingruo carefully bandaged his wound and put all the ointment back into the small bundle.

"I leave these to you. I remember you said you had a nanny and asked her to change them for you from time to time."

"Princess..." he started, but was glared back by Qin Lingruo: "Royal sister, you don't have to do this for me. What Concubine Jing said is not entirely unreasonable."

Qin Lingruo lowered her eyes to clean up the mess and replied:

"That's not entirely unreasonable indeed—"

Qin Leng remained silent, and listened to her continue:

“I think it makes absolutely no sense!”

"How can you judge a person by his circumstances?"

"Even if there is a mistake, you are also implicated in this situation."

In order to prevent him from being sad, she vaguely mentioned that it was because of his mother that he ended up in this state.

"Besides, isn't there a saying that some people are like lotus flowers that grow out of the mud without getting stained?"

"I think you, A Leng, are probably this kind of person."

Qin Leng was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

She thinks he is "Lian"?

Such a pure and beautiful thing is actually related to him?

"You think so?"

"That's natural. I always say what I think."

Her words seemed to bewitch him, making him greedy and want to hear more.

"I've said too much, please don't think I'm annoying."

"will not."

"I can't stay here for long. I feel relieved knowing your situation. You don't have to worry about anything else. I'll take care of everything."

Qin Lingruo gave a final reminder before leaving.

Even though he had heard such soothing words from her many times before, Qin Leng still felt a little at a loss.

"Okay, thank you, sister."

The night was bright and the stars were sparse. As she walked away, the last ray of warm light disappeared.

Various kinds of scented fruits, incense, candles and other daily necessities were delivered to Xu's house one after another.

Yang checked carefully several times and found that it was indeed the same as in previous years. The delivery guy was thoughtful and considerate, and kept saying nice things. She really couldn't find any fault with him.

She reluctantly nodded and said, "It is indeed the same as in previous years. You guys did a great job."

Now that the goods had been received, Yang picked out her own portion and was pleasantly surprised to find that in previous years, extra exquisite incense seals were always given as a gift, and this year, they were also delivered together as usual.

These are originally developed by the store, with a unique fragrance, rich flavor, and long-lasting taste, but the audience is not very wide. Those who appreciate and like them mostly love them, and those who dislike and dislike them mostly hate them, so only a small amount is made each time, and it is only given as a gift for orders, in order to win over regular customers.

In previous years, the eldest wife would always pick first. Yang had a special liking for this kind of incense and always regretted that there were only a few of them, so naturally she took them all for herself.

No one cares, and no one argues with her.

It's really the most insignificant thing.

Apart from being somewhat reluctant about spending the money, Yang did not notice any difference between this year and previous years.

"Forget it. This year, let's just leave it at that."

At this time, Xu Baiyu knew clearly in her heart that she would probably not be able to go to Puji Temple this year.

But she was not discouraged. She was looking forward to when Xu Xinyue would take action.

Qiu Lian ran hurriedly into the inner room early this morning, her head covered in sweat, and she seemed to be holding something tightly in her hands.

"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Qiu Lian panted a few times: "Miss, I just received this!"

Qiu Lian flattened the crumpled ball in her hand and handed it to Xu Baiyu.

It's a small letter.

Xu Baiyu muttered unconsciously: "Thank you for telling me the truth this time. If you want to leave Kyoto, I might be able to help you."

Xu Baiyu frowned and thought. This was probably sent by Xu Xinyue, but what did this incoherent sentence mean?

"Miss, what does this note mean?"

"...If you want to leave Kyoto, maybe I can help you..." Xu Baiyu chewed over this sentence again and again, always feeling that it was not as simple as it appeared on his face.

Suddenly, she turned over and sat up from the bed: "She is going to take action!"

Qiu Lian was confused at the moment, and had no idea what was going on. She asked, "Who's going to take action? Is it Miss Xu San?"

Xu Baiyu seemed to have figured it out: "Xu Xinyue's vague words probably didn't really want to help us leave. She just wanted to take action. Since I revealed this to her, it was a favor to her. But our purpose was too obvious after all, so Xu Xinyue was reluctant to repay this favor."

"Just consider it as giving us a chance. If she agrees, we are lucky to escape from this den of wolves. If she doesn't agree, then she has done her best and has offered her help. It is us who don't know how to do it. Life and death are up to fate."

Xu Baiyu took another close look at the note, trying to find more detailed evidence to verify his hypothesis, but he found that the words on the note were gradually disappearing as if under a spell.

Qiu Lian also noticed the change: "Miss!! This! What's going on!?"

Xu Baiyu became more and more certain of his guess: "It is a specially made invisible ink. This Xu Xinyue is smart enough to be afraid of leaving any handle."

"Well, now, what should we do, Miss?"

Xu Baiyu raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Lian: "Qiu Lian, do you remember what I told you? Now is the best time to stir up a dispute between the two governments and leave Kyoto."

"If my guess is correct, Xu Xianyue will most likely take action at Puji Temple."

Qiu Lian was shocked. She didn't know why her master came to such a conclusion. There was only one sentence on the note!

"Puji Temple!?"

"That's very likely the case, so we have to leave, but we have to leave quietly. To avoid being exposed and implicated, we can't have anything to do with Prince Rong's Mansion."

Xu Baiyu thought he had seen through the secret, so he threw the note away carelessly and whispered, "Xu Xinyue, I accept your kindness, but I will only take half. For the rest, we will each rely on our own abilities!"
