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

Qin Xingyue bowed and saluted: "Please, father..."

The emperor put down his tea bowl with a bang and said bluntly:

"I don't have time to deal with your business. I don't care whether you can communicate with him or not. Just tell him to come and see me after he's done!"

Qin Xingyue was speechless, all the prepared words were stuck in his mouth, and he could only respond dryly with a "yes".

The two of them talked for a short while before Fuxi hurried back to the palace: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is hysterical again, and this time she injured two palace maids!"

The emperor held his head with his hand and said, "What's the use of telling me? Go and call the imperial physician!"

When Fuxi turned around, the emperor added, "Let Yanxu go with him to have a look! Wasn't his medicine very effective for the empress dowager's illness last time?"

Fu Xi agreed and quickly retreated.

The emperor also didn't want to talk to Qin Xing any more, so he sent her away with just a few words.

On the way out of the palace, Qin Xingyue suddenly heard a distant voice calling from behind him. The voice was getting closer and closer as it blew into his ears. He turned around and saw that it was Qin Lingruo: "Brother! I heard about it! Yueyue and the second brother!"

Qin Xingyue looked around to make sure that no one was around, then he made a silencing gesture with his index finger, his eyes were indifferent, and he only said softly: "Ling'er, don't worry. Your second brother has his own rules and will never let himself fall into a desperate situation."

He did not explain, but only emphasized the word "truly". Qin Lingruo understood it immediately, and her anxious and nervous eyes calmed down immediately after hearing this.

"I knew it, I knew it. Yueyue, how could she, my brother..."

Qin Lingruo was so excited that she was incoherent. She wiped her eyes, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed. She said in a muffled voice, "It must have been Second Brother's idea. Yueyue would never have let us worry!"

Qin Xingyue covered her mouth with his hand and whispered, "I didn't want to tell you about this. The closer you are to someone, the more real their reaction will be. You can't take it lightly. I didn't hear this news today. Do you understand?"

Qin Lingruo, with her mouth and nose covered, nodded rapidly, then pulled Qin Xingyue's hand and pushed him hard with all her strength. Qin Xingyue was caught off guard and took a few steps back, almost hitting the wall of the palace. He looked up at Qin Lingruo in surprise.

But she cried even louder: "I don't believe that Yueyue has been in trouble, you must be lying to me, you are all lying to me!"

Without waiting for Qin Xingyue to react, Qin Lingruo covered her cheeks and cried "woooo woooo" and ran away.

It wasn't until the figure disappeared that Qin Xingyue reacted.

Qin Lingruo's move was too fast! He was totally unprepared.

When Qin Zhaolie heard the news that Qin Yuechuan had been assassinated, he laughed out loud and kept shouting "good, good, good".

If it weren't for his disability, he would definitely get up and go there to investigate in person.

"I didn't expect that Xuanxiao Pavilion had some ability and actually made him do it. Did Qin Yuechuan really die?"

The secret guard said, "It has been widely reported. His Majesty has ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the case. Now the Dali Temple officials are still interrogating the murderer one by one in the Puji Temple, but there is no result yet."

"Where is the body? Have you seen it?"

"At that time, our people intervened and forced Prince Rong to the cliff together with the assassins from Xuanxiao Pavilion. Prince Rong refused to surrender and jumped off the cliff with his princess, and disappeared without a trace."

"My subordinates have gone to the bottom of the cliff to investigate, but have not found the body yet. However, we did find some bloody pieces of clothing, which looked torn by wild beasts."

Qin Zhaolie was still smiling, but his laughter was much more restrained: "Investigate further and pay close attention to the reactions of those who were close to him. Make sure that Qin Yuechuan is indeed dead or has been eaten by wild beasts, then report to me!"

The secret guard received the order and said, "Yes!"

Puji Temple

Xu Minghui also received a letter sent by carrier pigeon from the Xu Mansion. After reading the contents of the letter, Xu Minghui sat up from his chair, feeling slightly angry.

Xu Mingxi, who was sitting on the side, saw his expression and felt a sudden pang in his heart. He stood up with him and asked bluntly, "Brother, is there any news? Is there any progress in mother's case? Or are there other obstacles?"

"Xu Baiyu ran away!"

Xu Minghui gritted his teeth and said these words, then tore the letter in his hand into pieces.

Xu Mingxi was also furious: "I said that this matter had twists and turns. Xu Baiyu has always been competitive, and I wondered why she was so obedient this time, and just did whatever her father and grandmother said. I really thought she had changed her personality, but I didn't expect it!"

Xu Minghui walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains in the distance, his eyes deep as he murmured, "It was indeed her. When the Xu Mansion guards went to search, Hanxing Courtyard was already empty, all the packages and valuables were taken away, and there were also several guards who were knocked unconscious. I think this must have been planned for a long time."

Xu Mingxi agreed, "She must have had a plan for today! Before my mother came to Puji Temple, she sent people to monitor Hanxing Courtyard's every move. At that time, I only asked my mother why she was so wary of Xu Baiyu. Now she is just a complete 'useless person' in the Xu Mansion. Now it seems that my mother probably had a premonition."

Thinking of Yang, Xu Mingxi lowered her head and wiped her tears again: "I should have noticed something was wrong earlier. It's just that mother and Xu Baiyu have never gotten along well, so I didn't take it to heart. It was all because of my negligence that mother was harmed by the evil man in vain!"

Xu Minghui turned around, feeling uncomfortable. If he had returned home earlier and stayed with his mother and sister, would there be a chance to prevent the tragedy from happening?

Just one step, just one step! If he had returned home one day earlier, maybe his mother wouldn't have left them so early.

The brother and sister were still crying for Yang, but outside they heard Xu Guanghai shouting:

"Lord Liu, I've told you that my late wife had nothing to do with this matter. This is purely a dispute within the palace, and has nothing to do with the case of Prince Rong and Princess Rong. When my wife was alive, she had almost no contact with Princess Rong. No, she had no contact at all. How could she be related to the assassination case in Prince Rong's mansion?"

Liu Ming said: "Master Xu, I am not insisting that the Xu family is involved in this case, but the incident is too coincidental. Madam Xu's death is indeed very strange."

Xu Guanghai thought of the news and clues that Xu Minghui had told him recently. Because Xu Baiyu was also her daughter, and a concubine's daughter was her mother, it would be bad for the Xu family's reputation if this were spread out.

Xu Guanghai only said vaguely: "There is nothing strange, absolutely nothing strange. My child is investigating the truth and I believe that the real murderer who killed my wife will be found out soon! Lord Liu, please do not make this matter public!"

Xu Guanghai was still worried about being associated with the assassin who killed Qin Yuechuan, and was busy trying to get rid of his connection with the case in Prince Rong's Mansion.

Xu Minghui and Xu Mingxi stood side by side in the room, not saying a word, pretending not to hear anything. Faced with Xu Guanghai's completely irresponsible attitude, the brother and sister had no intention of saying anything to help.

The situation was chaotic here, and the people Qin Yuechuan secretly left in Puji Temple would send him reports every day.
