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

She carefully took out the incense pill. Its shape was not a regular circle. It seemed like Yang had made it herself using leftover debris.

The technique is a bit crude and the fragrance is not very strong.

But having this is much better than having nothing.

Xu Mingxi clenched the incense pill excitedly.

"Jin'er, go find me a master of incense appraisal!"

In less than half an hour, Jin'er brought back a female perfume appraiser from outside the mansion.

The incense-judgement lady bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Xu."

"No need to be so polite. I have something I want you to taste. Can you identify the spices used in it? And can you use it effectively?"

The incense expert took the incense pill with both hands, crushed it into powder with a bamboo pestle, took a little and dissolved it in water, and carefully distinguished it: "Sandalwood... Wormwood... Cassia twig... Zhiyuan... Honey, and another ingredient... Yunfuzi."

"Does the lady know what their effects are? Are there any poisonous substances?"

The female teacher said, "If used in moderation, it can calm the mind and help you sleep, but if used continuously for a long time, it will not only cause dependence, but also be counterproductive. It will not only hinder sleep, but also make people irritable. In severe cases, it will cause dizziness and even hallucinations."

Xu Mingxi clenched his fist unwillingly: "So, after all, this thing is non-toxic?"

"It's really not poisonous. It all depends on the amount used. Ms. Xu should know that some medicinal materials can be used to treat diseases when used in moderation, but excessive use can also harm the body. How can you tell whether it is poisonous or not?"

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for the trip, Madam."

After sending the perfume appraiser away, Xu Mingxi stared at the remaining perfume powder, and had an urge to destroy everything in front of him.

The only trace of rationality kept me awake, but I couldn't, I couldn't yet!

Even if it is destroyed, what's the use!

During the half hour of waiting for the female tutor, Xu Mingxi asked the accountant and the servants and learned that the incense and fruit shop he had previously cooperated with was actually the third house, and Xu Xinyue took over it personally!

If she knew Yang's usage habits...

In other words, everything here might really be her doing!

Xu Baiyu did not lie to her.

However, even though Xu Mingxi found the key, she was still helpless against Xu Xinyue.

These "evidences" that are not evidence are useless.

Yang is dead, and the amount of weight used was decided by herself. Even if she sues the authorities, she has no chance of winning.

"Xu Xinyue is really good at scheming. Even if she resorted to trickery, she didn't have anything to do with the Xu family on the surface, and she distanced herself from it completely."

Thinking of her whereabouts after being assassinated, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Evil will be punished, even if I can't catch you, your end will not be much better."

Even though I understand that this is probably the result of karma and reincarnation.

Xu Xinyue got involved to avenge her mother.

But Yang was Xu Mingxi's closest relative, so how could she just let it go so easily by saying that it was as it should be? She couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Xu Xinyue in her heart.

"Fortunately, you have already..."

Before she finished her words, Jin'er entered the room. She heard some new news and shouted, "Miss, do you know? Prince Rong is back!"

"What?" Xu Mingxi looked up in astonishment, stood up and walked to Jin'er, asking again in disbelief: "Who are you talking about? Prince Rong? Qin Yuechuan? What about Xu Xinyue?"

"Princess Rong? Princess Rong is with Prince Rong, and she's back too."

"Just now, when I was sending my daughter-in-law back home, I saw Prince Rong's carriage returning to the capital, driving on the street."

"Did you see them with your own eyes, actually sitting in the car?"

Jin Er was puzzled, "Miss, I recognize Guard Qingyang. He was the one driving the car. Who else could it be if it wasn't Prince Rong and Princess Rong?"

He replied to Xu Mingxi as a matter of course.

Xu Mingxi stared at the incense powder in front of him sinisterly, as if he wanted to burn it to ashes: "She's back, she's actually back. She encountered such a big assassination, but she came back safe and sound!"

"Why is her luck so good? Her mother died in the same disaster, but she is safe and sound!"

"Where did you see them? Where are they now?"

Jin Er didn't understand what was going on. Seeing Xu Mingxi's face becoming increasingly gloomy, she whispered, "We should be at East Street now."

Xu Mingxi walked quickly out of the courtyard, headed straight for the gate of Xu Mansion, and headed towards East Street.

*

Xu Xinyue lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out, muttering, "Qin Yuechuan, isn't this too much of a fuss? Why don't you wait until your eye disease is healed before returning to the capital? Wouldn't this expose your weaknesses?"

Qin Yuechuan held one of her hands and replied: "It's not considered exposing my weakness. Didn't Yueyue say that her eye disease would be cured in the next few days?"

"Even if it was known and exposed to the public, it would only make the drama more realistic. After all, from the outside world's perspective, how could such an assassination not cause any damage? It's too unrealistic."

"But……"

"I know what Yueyue is worried about. Even if we can't see, others can't hurt us easily. It only takes a few days. It's okay."

In fact, Qin Yuechuan had another consideration for coming back in such a hurry, and that was Xu Yuanshan.

Qingyang said Xu Yuanshan will arrive in Kyoto in the next few days.

It was his oversight. Xu Yuanshan must have heard the rumors of the assassination attempt in Kyoto. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and the rumors reached his ears. He didn't know what outrageous rumors made him travel thousands of miles and rush back to Kyoto with his injured body.

If he couldn't show up before Xu Yuanshan returned to Kyoto, dispel the rumors, and let Xu Yuanshan see with his own eyes that Yueyue was safe, Xu Yuanshan would probably make a scene.

Other things don’t matter, but if other thoughts come to mind, such as regretting agreeing to let Yueyue be with him, that would be a bit troublesome.

Xu Yuanshan loves Yueyue from the bottom of his heart, how could he tolerate her getting hurt in the slightest?

Qin Yuechuan rubbed his forehead helplessly with one hand, thinking about how to give a reasonable explanation to his father-in-law in the future.

Xu Xinyue's attention was always on the street outside the window, and she didn't notice Qin Yuechuan's little action at the moment. But when she passed East Street, a familiar figure suddenly came into her sight.

Moreover, Xu Xinyue's gaze met that figure's gaze - it was Xu Mingxi.

It hasn't been long since we last saw each other, and Xu Mingxi has obviously lost a lot of weight. If my guess is correct, it must be because of Yang's matter.

Xu Xinyue had no sympathy for her. He only glanced at her for a moment with his cold eyes, then moved away as the carriage moved forward, without continuing to chase her.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but even though it was just a glance, Xu Xinyue could still feel the undisguised resentment in Xu Mingxi's eyes.

Resentment towards her.

Xu Xinyue dropped the curtain and couldn't help laughing. Even if Xu Mingxi knew the truth, so what? Revenge must be taken and karma must be paid. These are what Yang deserves.

What right does Xu Mingxi have to be dissatisfied?

Xu Xinyue thought, since she was back, she was not afraid of what Xu Mingxi would do to her. She couldn't even see through Xu Yuqiong, so what could he do to her?

After returning to Prince Rong's mansion, before the two of them could settle down and rest, a guard at the door came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Xin is here."

Is it Qin Xingyue who is here?

Xu Xinyue was just eager to know about Xia Xueyao's situation. The one who was in trouble was her younger brother, whom she depended on for everything, so she must be very worried.

He took the lead and answered for Qin Yuechuan: "Quick, please ask Prince Xin to come in."

Then he turned around and asked Qin Yuechuan: "Can I go to your study?"

Qin Yuechuan smiled and said, "Of course, whatever Yueyue says is fine."

Qin Xingyue entered the study room and noticed that Qin Yuechuan looked strange. He sat behind the desk, his eyes fixed on something in the void, but he could not find anything concrete. He could not help asking, "What happened to you?"

"Well, my eyes can't see clearly for now."

Qin Xingyue asked, "Didn't you say that the plan was under control and there wouldn't be any mistakes? How did it end up like this?"

"The plan was under control, but I went to deal with something that was beyond the plan and came back alive with damaged eyes."

The understated words stirred up a storm in Qin Xingyue's heart: "You almost lost your life! Damaged your eyes? What did you do there? "

"It's okay. Yueyue is here. You will recover in a few days."

Qin Xingyue then turned his inquiring gaze to Xu Xinyue, who was sitting at the desk next to him, and Xu Xinyue nodded.

She had been holding back her temper since just now, wanting to ask about Xia Xueyao. Seeing that he had finally stopped talking to Qin Yuechuan, she stood up and asked, "Your Highness Prince Xin, how is Yaoyao? We also heard about that incident. Is she okay?"

Qin Xingyue knew that the two of them had a good relationship, so he told Xu Xinyue everything that had happened in the past few days and the news he heard from Qin Yuling.

Finally, he added: "I have comforted her. I will not stand idly by and let this happen."

Xu Xinyue was quite dissatisfied. "How could the princess be like this! Even if she is a member of the royal family, how can she do this..."

He wanted to complain a little, but suddenly he remembered that there were two other people in the room who were also members of the royal family. He realized that what he said was too general, so he stopped talking, sat back in his seat in anger, and said no more.

Qin Yuechuan could guess how she would react, and said, "Yueyue doesn't have to worry. Since we know what Qin Yuling is thinking, we will definitely have a way to deal with it. We will definitely not let her get what she wants."

Qin Xingyue agreed, "Yes, I have my own rules for this matter, you don't have to worry, but I don't understand the reason why Qin Yuling mentioned the 'marriage'. Could it be true?"

Qin Yuechuan answered briefly: "I have an informant in Nanyuan, and this is true."

"If that's the case, do we really want Ling'er to go and marry? She only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun all day long. It's good enough that her brain is as big as a walnut. If she goes to such a place, I'm afraid she will be eaten up without leaving even a bone!"

Although Qin Xingyue quarreled with Qin Lingruo verbally, she was still very protective of her sister. Even though she knew that it was her duty as a princess and that she could not shirk her responsibility for the marriage, the land of Nanyuan was simply wild and barbaric and not worth it! !

Qin Yuechuan said: "Nan Yuan's motives are not pure, so he must let father see his sinister intentions. This time, no princess will be sent to marry."

Xu Xinyue always felt that there was something wrong with these words, but she couldn't put her finger on it for the moment, but she also agreed.

Xu Xinyue lowered her eyes and thought: "Right now, we need to solve Qin Yuling's marriage first. How can we make her cancel the engagement on her own initiative?"

Qin Xingyue said calmly: "It is unlikely that she will cancel the engagement on her own initiative. The only solution now is to ask her to change her fiancée."

Xu Xinyue slightly disagreed: "If we divert the trouble to the east, wouldn't it be the same as Qin Yuling... I always feel that it is not appropriate."

"If so, what if that person is willing? Didn't Qin Yuling say it herself, 'If both sides use each other, it can be considered as mutual cooperation. If they go their separate ways in the future, they won't feel guilty.'"

Xu Xinyue raised her head suddenly and said in sudden realization: "So, you want to?"

Qin Xingyue continued: "Find a new candidate for her and let them 'cooperate with each other'."

Qin Xingyue threw his robe and said, "I will deal with this matter myself. You don't have to worry. If any rumors are spread, you can just 'stand by and watch'."

Having said this, Xu Xinyue had nothing more to say. Since Qin Xingyue was in full charge of Yaoyao's affairs, there was naturally nothing to worry about.

He changed the subject and said, "Father, he has probably guessed that your assassination was premeditated, so he once told me to tell you to go see him immediately if you return to Kyoto."

Qin Yuechuan tapped the table with his five fingers one by one, thought for a moment and said, "I understand."

Qin Xingyue had already conveyed his message, and without further delay, he turned around and was about to leave the study. Before leaving, he added to Qin Yuechuan, "By the way, I haven't told Qin Chuanji about this. Given his temperament, he might launch a 'night attack' in the near future. Given your current condition, you must be prepared."

Qin Yuechuan: ...

After Qin Xingyue left, Xu Xinyue saw Qingyang lingering at the door for a long time, and asked directly: "Qingyang, what happened?"

"Princess, your bookstore owner has sent you a message, asking you to come over for something urgent."

Xu Xinyue was in a dilemma. Qin Xingyue had just said that His Majesty had asked Qin Yuechuan to go to the palace immediately. He should have stayed by his side because of his eyesight problems. However, the bookstore owner Wang was probably in a hurry...

Xu Xinyue looked at Qin Yuechuan, then at Qingyang: "This..."

Qin Yuechuan seemed to have sensed something, and said in a gentle voice: "Yueyue, go and do your own thing. I am just entering the palace. The emperor has summoned me, and no one dares to attack me. There is no need to worry."

Xu Xinyue asked with some concern: "Why not let Xuanyi go with you?"

Qin Yuechuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yueyue treats me like a 'delicate flower'? Although I did say that I hope to be 'loved' by Yueyue, it's not at this moment."

Xu Xinyue blushed with shame, "What are you talking about here? Since you don't mind, I won't insist. I'm leaving!"

Qin Yuechuan couldn't help but curl his eyebrows: "Yeah."

After quickly changing her clothes, Xu Xinyue headed for the bookstore. When the carriage stopped at the door of the bookstore, she saw the same scene as last time. All the shop owners gathered there, and they seemed to be discussing something with each other.

Until someone said, "The boss is here!"

Xu Xinyue got off the carriage and was immediately surrounded by the crowd. Shopkeeper Wang was the first to speak: "Boss, you are finally here! We have been waiting for you for a long time. You have been..."

He knew Xu Xinyue's identity. He had also heard about the recent assassination of Prince Rong and Princess Rong. He had been so anxious these days that he had several blisters in his mouth. Seeing that Xu Xinyue was safe and sound, if there were not so many people present, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop his anger again.

"I'm fine. Can you guys tell me what happened?"

"This is a disgusting thing to talk about. Someone from Qiulu Bookstore came and said they wanted to reconcile and join the book club."

Xu Xinyue didn't quite believe her ears. "What did you say? Which bookstore?"

"Boss, you heard it right. It's the Qiulu Bookstore, our rival, the one that lost."
