The three or four young men over there were watching with great interest, when suddenly this happened.

His face changed color with shock: "That, that sword!"

“It’s gone!!”

He Yunyin secretly raised her lips, and at this moment she still did not forget to spin beautifully, her red clothes fluttering in the wind, and she let out an "Ah" in pretended surprise.

She called out in a pretentious voice: "My sword!"

When Xu Xinyue turned his back, he caught a glimpse of a cold light flying towards him.

As fast as a shooting star, gone in an instant.

There was a sound of breaking air behind her. Before she could react and look back to see what it was, she heard someone shouting in surprise:

“Yueyue!!”

Qin Lingruo who was beside him was the first to react.

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and her aura suddenly changed drastically. The broken branch of plum blossom in her hand was placed horizontally behind Xu Xinyue.

With a flip of the wrist, the plum branches and the sword tassels entangled and rotated.

Qin Lingruo waved her sleeves, and the sword turned back and flew back to its owner.

The smile on He Yunyin's lips didn't have time to spread, and she was shocked by this reversal and froze in place with her eyes wide open.

It was not until the cold light struck the door that he cried out in surprise and raised his arms to block it with his sleeves.

"Sizzle."

The sword was nailed into the ground, and along with it, a thin piece of clothing that was as bright red as blood was pierced.

Qin Yuechuan was talking to Qin Xingyue. When he raised his eyes after hearing the voice, the long sword had already flown towards Xu Xinyue's back.

His eyes were bloodshot and he wished he could fly forward to protect her with his body. Before he could throw the stone in his hand, he saw Qin Lingruo blocking it with a plum branch and immediately counterattacked.

"Yueyue! Are you okay?!"

Qin Yuechuan stepped forward and looked Xu Xinyue carefully from head to toe.

Xu Xinyue was slightly stunned, just looking at the broken plum branches on the ground.

That was the plum branch that Xia Xueyao had pinned in her hair.

The petals were scattered and broken into several sections.

It proves how thrilling the incident that just happened was.

"The hairpin...is broken..."

"Ah, I must have accidentally knocked it off when I was spinning my sword to strike back."

"Are you hurt?"

"Brother, I am not injured and I am fine."

Qin Xingyue was so frightened by the scene that he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Qin Lingruo had learned martial arts, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Xia Xueyao pulled Qin Lingruo's hand over and checked it carefully several times to confirm that there was no injury, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Leng, who was standing aside, stared at Qin Lingruo in a trance, not knowing whether he was frightened or shocked.

Xu Xinyue and Qin Lingruo turned around together.

Sword! He Yunyin's sword! ?

Xu Xinyue raised her eyes with an angry look. If Qin Lingruo hadn’t reacted faster than her, today she would have been…

Qin Yuechuan also put his arm around her shoulders and followed her gaze.

He Yunyin never thought that there were other people behind them.

He endured Qin Yuechuan's sinister gaze as if he was looking at a dead person.

With trembling legs, he pretended to remain calm.

He raised his voice and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. The sword slipped out of my hand, it wasn't my intention."

She tried her best to appear calm and fearless, with no guilt at all, as if the incident just now was really just an accident.

An unintentional accident.

Xu Xinyue said coldly: "Let her go? Which one? Qin Yuechuan, I want one of her hands. I will cut her tendons and make her really 'let her go'."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuechuan loosened his arm, his eyes were sinister and his pupils were deep, as if containing a storm.

Approaching He Yunyin step by step.

The oppressive atmosphere stifled He Yunyin's breath.

She had no way to resist, as Qin Yuechuan's brows emanated a frightening murderous intent.

The young masters beside him also realized that the situation was not good, and their intuition seemed to be that they should evacuate this place as soon as possible. Qin Yuechuan's aura was too terrifying, and his legs and feet could not move at all for a while.

He Yunyin mustered up her courage and looked at him with gritted teeth.

His voice trembled: "I, this was indeed an unintentional mistake on my part."

"Oh, an unintentional mistake?"

He Yunyin believed that she had the support of the Duke's Mansion, so Qin Yuechuan really didn't dare to do anything to her.

Thinking so naively, I unconsciously became more confident, stiffened my neck, and spoke louder:

"I am the princess personally appointed by His Majesty, and the only heir of the Duke's Mansion. Prince Rong should think twice before acting. This incident was purely an accident."

"It's better not to cause more criticism to Prince Rong's Mansion because of a small accident."

Qin Yuechuan sneered, did not answer, and continued to move forward.

He Yunyin took several steps back and said hurriedly, "The sword is not sharpened yet, so it can't hurt anyone. King Rong can tell the difference, right? If I wanted to hurt her, why would I use such a weapon?"

There was too much noise here, and the murmurs of people talking in the distance were getting closer and closer.

He Yunyin didn't care about anything else and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Prince Rong, don't be impulsive! I'm the princess! If anything happens to me, how are you going to explain to His Majesty and my cousin?"

"Explain? I don't need to explain to anyone."

"Believe it or not, even if I kill you, your cousin uncle, knowing what happened today, will be grateful to me for getting rid of an evil obstacle for the He family!"

"Yueyue is kind-hearted. I only took one of your hands. You have already burned incense for me."

He glanced at the long sword stuck beside him, then pulled it out with his backhand: "Unsharpened? Today I will let you experience for yourself whether you can hurt someone without a sharp blade."

He Yunyin turned to look at Xu Xinyue again:

"Xu Xinyue, don't you care about the safety of Prince Rong's Mansion the most? Do you know what kind of consequences Prince Rong's Mansion will face after today? Do you have the heart to see the Duke's Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion at odds with each other!!!"

Xu Xinyue watched coldly, unmoved.

"He Yunyin, I told you before that if you really want to test it yourself, I will accompany you at any time. Then you will know whether what I said is true or false. The Queen Mother cannot protect you, and the Duke's Mansion cannot protect you either."

There was no thought of dissuading him.

He even took a step closer, as if wanting to see it more clearly.

He Yunyin saw that Qin Yuechuan seemed to have lost his mind, and was extremely frightened. He turned around and ran away.

"You think you can get away?"

"Royal brother!!! What are you doing!!"

When Xu Mingxi and Qin Yuling heard the noise and came to watch, they saw the current situation.

Qin Yuling shouted.

He Yunyin seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and stumbled to the back of the two people, seeking shelter: "Sister Xu, Princess, save me, I didn't mean it!"

Qin Yuling saw He Yunyin shaking like a sieve behind him, and blocked him with his arm: "Royal brother, if there is any misunderstanding, just resolve it, why do you have to do this?"

"There is no misunderstanding. She intended to slander Yueyue. This is obvious to all. Am I right?"

He turned around and looked at the young masters who were standing there in shock.

"Does the king lie?"

"No...never, never."

Qin Yuling frowned, it was because of Xu Xinyue again!

This He Yunyin is so restless that he actually has such thoughts. Isn't this simply courting death?

"This matter is of great importance. If we want to make a judgment, it will be safer if your Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo come forward together. Don't you think so, my brother?"

He Yunyin felt relieved when she heard her say that. Her cousin would not ignore her and would definitely save her! She was saved!

Qin Yuling glanced at Xu Xinyue unconsciously. If she still had some sense at this moment, she should have calmed down and made peace. If she brought the matter to the emperor, it would be embarrassing for everyone.

Unexpectedly, she walked to Qin Yuechuan's side and replied, "Princess, what you said makes sense."

Qin Yuling cursed inwardly, thinking that he really overestimated her.

Soon, everyone gathered in Longxiao Palace.

He Yunyin still didn't dare to look up. He huddled behind Qin Yuling, waiting for He Xuehuai to come and make the decision for him.

Although he was angry about what happened last time, he never said he didn't recognize her. I think since it concerns her life, he should still be clear-headed and save her.

When the emperor entered the palace, He Xuehuai followed him.

Someone has probably already reported what happened just now.

To the emperor, it was just an ordinary accident, which was probably related to the personal grudges of his daughter.

However, the people involved are his son's beloved daughter and He Xuehuai's only cousin, so he has to make the judgment personally.

"You can tell for yourself."

He Yunyin was pulled out by Qin Yuling. She tried to keep her voice steady and evaded the main points as she told the whole story. She only said that she accidentally dropped the sword while practicing martial arts, and it happened to go straight in the direction of Princess Rong.

"Your Majesty, it was really an unintentional mistake. It was just a mistake."

Qin Lingruo curled her lips and said, "What a coincidence. He didn't make a mistake earlier or later, but waited until we came to make a mistake. He didn't get rid of it earlier or later, but waited until Princess Rong turned around before making a move. No one would believe him if he said he didn't have any intention."

"I have never had it. How can a sword that has not been sharpened hurt anyone?"

"Don't lie to me. Even if a sword is unsharpened, it can still hurt people if the force is used properly!"

He Yunyin repeated the same words several times, and was no longer able to defend himself. He looked to He Xuehuai for help and said, "Uncle, save me, I have never..."

He Xuehuai only spoke indifferently, without turning his eyes to her: "The He family rules, do not do evil, no matter how small. Now that you have evil thoughts in your heart, if you still consider yourself a member of the He family, you should admit your mistakes and accept the punishment as a warning."

He Yunyin didn't expect that he wouldn't even ask for favors for her, but made a direct judgment and a choice.

"Uncle, you...you want me to be punished? She wants to cut my tendons!"

He Xuehuai's voice was cold and ruthless: "Isn't it natural to admit your mistakes and accept your punishment?"

"When you are enjoying glory, you flaunt your power, but when you are in disgrace, you avoid it. What kind of logic is this?"

He Yunyin was trembling with fear. Suddenly, she thought of something and said in a hurry, "Princess Rong is so bold and reckless. She speaks wildly and insults the He family! Uncle, do you know that?"

He Xuehuai was really interested: "Oh? How did she 'insult'?"

"She said that the He family is nothing special. Doesn't that mean she is saying that the Duke's Mansion is nothing special? Isn't that also scolding my cousin uncle?"

Xu Xinyue glared at He Yunyin unhappily, but she was not angry at her for complaining.

But how could He Xuehuai refute or agree to this when it was said in front of His Majesty?

The Duke's Mansion is already treading on thin ice right now.

Does He Xuehuai have to say in front of the emperor that the He family is extraordinary?

He really said anything he wanted to say in order to slander her.

"Oh... is this considered an insult?"

He Xuehuai smiled faintly, looked at Xu Xinyue and said, "Princess Rong is right. The He family is really nothing special. It's just a poor family."

He Yunyin was stunned: "Uncle, what did you say?"

He Xuehuai looked down at her coldly, "The Duke's Mansion has been greatly favored by His Majesty, but it is just an empty title. It is really nothing great. You are taking advantage of your position too much, He Yunyin."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to take action on this matter. This Duke can solve it himself and give the princess justice."

He Xuehuai took the unsharpened sword and ran his thumb across the blade.

Reflected on the sharp sword was He Yunyin's terrified face.

"What the princess said is true. Although this sword has not been sharpened, it can still hurt people if the force is properly controlled."

He said calmly: "Since this sword caused the disaster, it will end with this sword."

He Yunyin staggered and fell, shaking his head, and stepped back without caring about his image: "Uncle, I, I won't dare to do it again... Next time, no, there won't be a next time, I have learned my lesson this time, please forgive me."

"You have been reckless many times in the past, but I have turned a blind eye and never pursued the matter. I didn't expect that I would encourage you to behave so recklessly. I am not taking your life because we are from the same clan."

"If you still want to call me uncle, I will take over this matter!"

He Xuehuai walked forward with a cold face.

A flash of silver light mixed with blood appeared.

The only sound in the hall was He Yunyin's heart-wrenching cries. She covered her right wrist with her left hand, rolled over on the spot, and was heartbroken.

He Xuehuai threw away the bloodstained sword, turned around and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am sorry to bother you with such a family matter. It is really my fault."

"Well, it's good for you to know."

He Xuehuai said to Xu Xinyue again: "I am also aware of the injustice suffered by Princess Rong. Such things will never happen again in the future."

Xu Xinyue just nodded slightly and said no more.

Xu Mingxi and Qin Yuling standing beside them stood there in shock.

The present scene reminded me of the argument between Xu Xinyue and He Yunyin at the gate of the Queen's Palace.

I originally thought she was just being overbearing, but unexpectedly, it was really just as she said!!!

The two looked at each other and saw the emotions in each other's eyes.

Isn't the Duke of Zhenguo too cruel? When it comes to right and wrong, even blood ties can't shake them in the slightest?

After this action, I’m afraid no one will dare to provoke Xu Xinyue anymore!
