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

When I pushed aside the vines and weeds that covered the cave entrance, I discovered that there was a whole new world inside.

This place faces the sun, and the smooth stone walls look as if they have been scrubbed countless times. They are dry and fresh without any moisture.

There were all kinds of tables, chairs and low tables inside, even the mahogany carved canopy bed was exactly the same as the one he slept on in the previous mansion.

In a flat earth pit near the cave entrance, a charcoal fire was burning fiercely. A copper pot was suspended on a wooden frame above, and something seemed to be cooking in the pot.

It can really be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

Xu Xianyue hesitated to speak, pointed at the things around her, opened and closed her lips several times, and asked only three words: "...hard times?"

Qin Yuechuan covered the vines, leaving a suitable gap for ventilation, nodded and smiled: "Well, the cave entrance here is narrow, Yueyue will probably have to sleep on the same bed with me."

Xu Xinyue followed his words, glanced at the bunk bed, and blurted out: "What kind of hardship is this? We originally..."

When he got to the key point, he realized that something was wrong and changed the subject: "...the beds we sleep on in the palace are not considered miserable."

Qin Yuechuan knew what she meant, and it was quite interesting to see her trying to make amends in a hurry, so he didn't expose her, and just said, "I hope Yueyue doesn't mind."

It was already night, and there were several candles embedded in the stone walls of the cave. Under the light, Xu Xinyue discovered that the fabric on Qin Yuechuan's left arm seemed to be torn, and there were dark brown bloodstains around the torn area, which seemed not to have dried yet.

She thought of the cold light that had struck her during the fight in the forest just now. Was Qin Yuechuan injured because he was protecting her?

She forced him to sit on the low table and said, "Sit down. Do you have any medicinal wine or cloth?"

Without waiting for Qin Yuechuan to answer, Xu Xinyue had already found what she wanted in the box in the corner.

She checked herself and said, "Some of my skin and flesh are stuck together, so I can't take off my clothes directly. Fortunately, I saw some spare clothes in the box, so I will just cut off this sleeve."

Qin Yuechuan subconsciously wanted to agree, but suddenly he remembered something and opened his mouth hurriedly: "No need, Yueyue, I..."

But he spoke a step too late. Xu Xinyue had already used scissors to swiftly remove almost the entire sleeve along the wound. However, what came into view was not just a wound as she thought in her heart -

The entire left arm was covered with scars, with new wounds stacked on top of old ones, deep and shallow, and looking extremely hideous and terrifying.

Xu Xinyue had not expected this. She held the scissors in one hand and supported his arm with the other. She stared at him for a long time before she uttered a single word: "You——"

Qin Yuechuan pursed his lips tightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Xu Xianyue frowned and said distressedly: "You have been in Kyoto for a long time, why haven't these scars healed yet?"

Qin Yuechuan saw that she had misunderstood, so he said vaguely, "Yeah."

Xu Xinyue carefully treated his wound. The latest sword wound had the skin and flesh rolled up and was bloody. Xu Xinyue patiently cleaned it for a long time and did a simple suture before he felt relieved.

After carefully checking the other wounds, she pouted and complained, "It's not like there's a shortage of medicine in the mansion, and you're not made of iron. How did you endure it until now? Many of the scars can't be removed."

The person above his head remained silent.

While mumbling, she applied powder and ointment to the half-fresh wounds, and suddenly found that these wounds seemed slightly different from the sword wounds just now.

Most of the wounds caused by swords were shallow and irregular, but the wounds that were half new and half old, or even healed long ago, were almost flat and uniform, and looked just like self-inflicted wounds!

Thinking carefully, when she had detoxified her, it seemed that there were no scars on his arms at that time...

Xu Xianyue's expression became more and more solemn. Suddenly, she stood up and looked at Qin Yuechuan in front of her. Her voice was no longer as gentle as before. She asked coldly, "Qin Yuechuan, how long have you been like this!?"

Qin Yuechuan rarely made any excuses, and just turned his head to one side: "I don't know what Yueyue is talking about."

"You don't know? You've been marching and fighting for many years. I don't believe you can't even tell the difference between a self-inflicted wound and an injured one!"

Xu Xinyue recalled what her mother had said to her:

“Not all wounds are on the body. Some wounds are invisible and are in the heart.”

"Some unusual behaviors may not be understood by ordinary people. They are just the external manifestation of the wounds in their hearts."

Xu Xinyue had some guesses, perhaps the Qin Yuechuan in front of her should be just as her mother said.

Knowing that her attitude just now might be too cold and hard, Xu Xinyue softened her tone again, squatted down again, looked up at him and asked softly:

"Qin Yuechuan, my attitude just now... wasn't very good. I just, I was just worried about you."

"I think you might be sick. Can you tell me how long you've been like this?"

Qin Yuechuan remained silent and stood up as if nothing had happened.

"Yueyue is worrying too much. I'm fine. I've never been sick."

He walked towards the crate, probably looking for a change of clothes.

Seeing that he was extremely uncooperative, Xu Xinyue's eyes became more worried. After thinking for a moment, she came up with a plan.

She frowned and spoke in a weak voice, as if she couldn't bear it: "Qin Yuechuan... I don't feel well, my body hurts a little..."

Qin Yuechuan suddenly stopped and looked back, looking at the weak and painful Xu Xinyue in surprise. He saw her bending over with a painful look on her face, holding the stone wall with one hand and covering her heart with the other, then sliding down to squat slowly.

He was startled in his heart, his eyes filled with fear, he quickly stepped forward and held her in his arms: "Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt?"

How could it hurt? He had been careful enough just now. For Xu Xinyue's safety, he had practiced the assassination situation countless times. How could something go wrong? !

"Is Yueyue injured somewhere? I'll go call someone and get a doctor for you!"

"No..." Seeing how worried he was, Xu Xinyue couldn't help but feel guilty. She lowered her head, held him down and said, "My uncle said that I have just recovered from a serious illness and I should avoid emotional fluctuations. Maybe, maybe I was a little anxious just now..."

Qin Yuechuan was stunned. Was it because of him? Was it because of him again?

The arms around Xu Xinyue gradually tightened, and even her breathing stagnated for a moment.

Xu Xinyue felt that something was wrong and was afraid that she had overacted. She used his strength to slowly stand up: "Qin Yuechuan, I'm fine. I feel much better."

"…It's my fault, it's all my fault…Yueyue is like this because of me…"

Qin Yuechuan muttered to himself with a bit of paranoia. Xu Xinyue saw that he was in a very strange state and she regretted her action a little.

She held his face in her hands and forced him to look into her eyes.

"Qin Yuechuan, look at me, I'm fine, you don't want me to worry, right? So can you tell me how long you've been like this? Don't make me worry, okay?"

Qin Yuechuan stared at her for a long time, then slowly stood up. His attitude softened a lot, but he still gave the same answer as before:

"Yueyue is really worrying too much. I'm fine."

Seeing that he was unmoved by her persuasion, Xu Xinyue had some vague guesses in her mind because of his reaction just now. She lowered her eyes and thought: the problem was probably with herself.

Maybe it's because I care too much that I worry about gains and losses.

Xu Xinyue felt both distressed and helpless. What had she done to make Qin Yuechuan become like this?

She thought that perhaps she was not good enough to him, which made Qin Yuechuan feel so insecure.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinyue had to put it aside for the time being. Qin Yuechuan probably couldn't explain the matter clearly in a short time.

Still have to take your time.

She sighed inwardly and turned around to find some hot water.

Little did she know that Qin Yuechuan could see her every move, but he had a different interpretation of it.

As he turned to leave, he grabbed Xu Xinyue's wrist and said urgently:

"Is Yueyue angry?"
