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

Today is no exception.

What has been reported so far is probably within his expectations.

In addition, the emperor promoted the newly-appointed Minister of War to replace Xu Guanghai. In the past, officials usually wrote letters to recommend suitable candidates, and the emperor would select the appropriate candidates, but now the emperor actually personally selected the candidates, directly avoiding the recommendation of court officials.

This made Qin Zhaolie, who wanted to tamper with the selection process, very angry.

It seems that Xu Guanghai's plan failed and he can't be reinstated.

"Keep an eye on Qin Zhaolie. He might do something else because of this."

"If you have a chance to talk to He Xuehuai, we will be fine."

Although he had not been in front of him recently, he knew that if he did not communicate with him again, He Xuehuai would probably tear down his Prince Rong's Mansion to vent his anger.

The secret guard took the order and left, while Qin Yuechuan stepped over the dead branches and leaves and walked back to the entrance of the cave where he was temporarily staying.

From afar, he saw Xu Xinyue taking a peaceful nap under an old locust tree not far away, lying on a wicker rocking chair covered with a rabbit fur blanket.

The weather is fine today, and the cold winter seems to have been dispelled by the warm sun.

She closed her eyes, letting the warm sunlight fill her face. Her skin was glowing with a rosy warm glow, and one could tell just how comfortable and at ease she was.

Qin Yuechuan took off his coat and gently covered her with it.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she must have had a sweet dream.

Qin Yuechuan slowly squatted down, knelt on one knee beside her, and stayed by her side. He just looked at her quietly, his heart filled with peace and satisfaction.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Xinyue seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Qin Yuechuan, she smiled at him faintly in a daze: "You're back~"

"Well, why doesn't Yueyue rest inside? What if she catches a cold here?"

Xu Xianyue stretched out her arms slightly, her voice full of lazy charm: "No, the sun is so good today, I just wanted to bask in the sun, but unexpectedly I fell asleep comfortably."

Qin Yuechuan smoothed her hair and said, "Yueyue has been too tired recently and has not had a good sleep."

Xu Xianyue probably didn't get enough sleep, so she closed her eyes again: "Although it is winter, the scenery here is very beautiful. Sometimes I forget everything else and almost forget what day it is."

"Yueyue likes it here?"

"Ah."

"Compared to Prince Rong's Mansion, do you like it here more?" Qin Yuechuan's voice carried a hint of unspeakable sadness.

Xu Xinyue was half asleep and half awake. She raised the corner of her mouth and touched the top of his head: "How could that be? I like places where you are. Wherever Qin Yuechuan is, I like that place..."

Qin Yuechuan took her hand, put her five fingers to his lips and kissed them silently.

Thinking that Xu Xinyue might have been frightened and terrified by his harsh words a few days ago, he couldn't help but tremble.

As for what happened the day before, he was not sure whether Xu Xinyue was really not angry.

I also thought about how she couldn't sleep that day because of a nightmare, but acted as if nothing had happened the next day.

All of this is because of him——

And his Yueyue always swallowed everything silently to prevent him from worrying, and always tolerated him.

These were clearly not his intention.

Qin Yuechuan clenched her five fingers and couldn't help but said, "Yueyue, if you are unhappy at all, don't keep it in your heart. You can hit me or scold me. I will let you vent your anger. But... don't be afraid of me or hate me."

I added silently in my heart: Don’t leave me.

He, who had always been decisive in killing, dared to make such a request only when Xu Xinyue was half awake.

Xu Xinyue opened her eyes, her brows were calm, and her features contained countless tenderness and radiance.

Xu Xinyue probably guessed what he was worried about, and stroked his cheek with one hand, saying softly:

"No, no matter what Qin Yuechuan becomes, I will accept it completely."

"Who told you that you are Qin Yuechuan?"

"But I don't want Yueyue to accept it with grievance."

"I won't feel wronged. If there is anything wrong, I will tell you."

Qin Yuechuan finally smiled with relief: "Then Yueyue must keep her word."

Xu Xianyue answered subconsciously: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Qin Yuechuan said with grievance: "Hasn't Yueyue deceived me enough?"

"Well……"

Xu Xinyue felt that there was really nothing to talk about today. It was only when she was hiding her identity and working as Doctor Xue that she would occasionally...

She angrily threw his coat over her head and said sullenly, "I want to rest!"

Qin Yuechuan couldn't help but chuckle, and he stopped while he was ahead, rubbing her head through her clothes. If he continued teasing her, he might show his claws.

Xu Baiyu never dreamed that she just asked Qiu Lian to use a thin hairpin to exchange for some food at the restaurant, but in less than half a day, her residence was discovered by people from the Xu residence.

He then glared at Qiu Lian angrily: "Don't you know how to hide your identity? Didn't I ask you to go there quietly? How did the Xu family find out so quickly? Do you know how difficult it was for us to escape?"

Qiu Lian knelt down and defended herself, "Miss, that's not the case. I was very careful and wore a veil. I don't know why this happened. The Xu family knew about it too quickly. It was as if someone tipped off the matter. I feel very wronged."

Xu Baiyu gathered his bag and quickly packed up his belongings: "We can't stay here for long. We need to leave quickly and must not be caught by the people in the Xu Mansion..."

Xu Baiyu had just run to the door and was about to open it to escape when a rough old woman's voice came from the door:

"Miss, I know you are in there!"

"Come out with us quickly. The young master has something to ask you. If you go too late, I can't guarantee what will happen!"

Qiu Lian and Xu Baiyu looked at each other in panic. As the master, Xu Baiyu was a little calmer than the bewildered Qiu Lian. He ignored Qiu Lian who was wandering around in the room and looked around the room, finally fixing his eyes on the only window.

Qiu Lian discovered her intention and hurriedly stopped her: "No, Miss, this is the second floor. If you jump down, something will definitely happen!"

Xu Baiyu lowered his voice and scolded: "Even if something happens, it's better than being caught by the people in the Xu Mansion! If you leave the mansion without permission and get caught, I'm afraid you will never be able to leave Kyoto in this life!"

She waved Qiu Lian away, opened the window, looked down, closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and prepared for a final fight.

Just at this moment, the door was kicked open with a loud bang. Xu Baiyu heard the noise and without hesitation, he jumped down from the window.

The only sounds behind him were the screams of the maids and old women.

"Quick, quick! Go and stop her! We can't let her get away. The eldest master has ordered that we must capture her alive!"

The old woman waved her handkerchief and called out to the servants from the Xu mansion who were accompanying them, and drove them all out to chase after Xu Baiyu. Qiu Lian felt indescribably sad and lost when she saw the young lady abandoning her and running away.

The young lady has escaped, and what value does she have as a slave being taken back? I'm afraid the only thing waiting for her is death.

He knelt on the ground hesitantly, his arms each clamped by a woman, making it impossible for him to break free. He could only lower his head and cry silently.

Unexpectedly, the tightly closed window was suddenly opened from the outside, and a black figure appeared in front of everyone, carrying the unconscious Xu Baiyu.

But most of his face was blocked by the window, so I couldn't see clearly who he was.

The maids and servants were stunned by this reversal. They watched the man throw Xu Baiyu in directly, clapped their hands and said, "He's a good man and a good deed, no need to thank me!"

Then he disappeared in the crowd on the street in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, this... Mammy..."

"Ah, what's this? Didn't he say he had good intentions? Just catch him, why bother with so many things? Quick! Check to see if he's dead or alive."

Xu Baiyu seemed to have been knocked unconscious. The red mark on the back of her neck had not yet faded. She lay limply on the ground. The old woman turned her over on her back and checked her breath before she breathed a sigh of relief:

"Alive, alive, the young master has found what he ordered!"
