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

Uncle Zhang raised his eyes and saw the young and pretty face that looked 70% like his old friend, speaking to him with a smile.

"Oh, Princess Rong is here."

Xu Xinyue put her hands on her hips and said, "Uncle Zhang, can you please speak properly?"

"It's been a long time since you last came to see me. I thought you forgot about it."

Xu Xinyue stepped forward with a smile: "How could that be, Uncle Zhang, I will never forget you."

"You are laughing like this, you must have something important to ask of me again..."

"Uncle Zhang is very smart."

If Xu Xinyue had an extra tail right now, I wonder how happily she would wag it.

Uncle Zhang put the cold hot water bottle on the counter and said to her, "What trouble have you run into now?"

Xu Xinyue told Uncle Zhang about her plan for the academy.

Uncle Zhang listened while changing the boiling water in the hot water bottle.

Xu Xinyue just looked at his back and paused for a moment, not knowing whether he had heard her words.

Xu Xinyue was tired of standing, so she slumped over the counter without any image, looking at Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, I don't recognize the other person, but my mother and father have told me since I was a child that you are very powerful, and I also think you are very powerful. Even if we can't find that person, Uncle Zhang, can you help me prepare something for the time being?"

"Qin Yuechuan has gone to help me find clues about that person. I believe there will be results soon... I don't think Uncle Zhang is incompetent to be the dean, but that person was once quite famous and had a far-reaching influence, so it may be easier to convince people."

Uncle Zhang didn't even look back: "Do you really think it has to be that person?"

Xu Xinyue thought he was blaming her for being so rude, so she quickly explained, "Of course not. I told Uncle Zhang that it was okay! Uncle Zhang is a low-key person. If he was more public, he would definitely be more famous than him!"

Uncle Zhang sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll take it."

Just back to old business.

"Tell King Tongrong that there is no need to look for that man. I know where he is."

Xu Xinyue did not think much about it and was overjoyed: "Really? I should have thought that Uncle Zhang, who is so talented in writing, must be acquainted with that person."

Xu Xinyue thought for a moment and took out a token from her sleeve: "Uncle Zhang, this is the token of Prince Rong's Mansion. Nowadays, people judge people by their status. If you don't have someone to protect you, you might be looked down upon."

"If necessary, you can use this to intimidate someone. It would be a waste if I don't lend my husband's name to him."

Uncle Zhang glanced at her and said teasingly, "Oh, oh, oh, the little crab has become tough and has learned to walk sideways?"

"No, it's just that this way, Uncle Zhang will save a lot of effort. Isn't power and other things meant to be used at certain times?"

Uncle Zhang took the token and said, "I understand."

Xu Xinyue's eyes narrowed into crescents with joy. After chatting for a few words, she stood up and said goodbye. She left Mobaozhai and headed straight for the carriage of Prince Rong's mansion not far away.

When he lifted the curtain and entered, his face was filled with unconcealable joy.

Qin Yuechuan put down the book in his hand and looked at her with a smile: "Yueyue is so happy, is there any great progress?"

"Uncle Zhang agreed to help me prepare a few things. Moreover, he also said that if you know that person, you don't have to bother looking for him."

After all, Qin Yuechuan lived one more life than Xu Xinyue, and was much more perceptive about certain things than Xu Xinyue.

He took a deep look at Mobaozhai through the curtain and had some guesses in his mind.

Since that person doesn't want to say it, he must have his own plans.

As the sun sets in the west, the cold becomes more severe. The dungeon in the palace never sees the sun all day long. The summer is like a snowy and icy place, and it is the end of the year.

There is no sunlight here and the time is unknown. If it weren't for the occasional flickering of the candlelight on the stone wall, Ling Qiu would almost think that time had stopped here.

"You haven't spoken yet?"

Qin Yuechuan was dressed in a sharp black robe, and his whole aura was gloomy and cold to the extreme.

"Your Majesty, you are very stubborn."

"It doesn't matter."

The man on the wooden frame across from him raised his eyes with great effort, the iron chain around his neck swaying, his eyes filled with death: "Your Highness, if you want to kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."

Qin Yuechuan stepped forward with his hands behind his back: "If you cry and beg for mercy, I am not interested."

"The more you deny it and the more you keep your mouth shut, the more you are considered half of your master's confidant. The more you know, the more curious I am."

In such a cold and gloomy place, Qin Yuechuan's voice was like that of a Shura evil ghost, piercing through the heart and bones.

"On the contrary, if your confidant betrays you, you should know what will happen. If such an important person is placed by someone else's side, wouldn't it be a handle for him to use against you?"

Qin Yuechuan sneered: "Pass on my order, untie him, change him into decent clothes, and keep him well fed and well-drinking. Spread the news that this man could not bear the torture and has joined my army, and is willing to serve me in exchange for his life."

"If I can't find him, then let him come find me."

Ling Qiu didn't know whether he was shocked, angry, or afraid. He couldn't help but tremble all over, with crazy hatred bursting out of his eyes: "You are just like that little bitch, you must die a horrible death!"

Qin Yuechuan had already turned around, but when he heard this, his sinister aura became even more intense. He drew out the long sword of the guard beside him with one hand, turned around and cut off half of the wooden cross that bound Ling Qiu.

Of course, his entire left arm was also involved.

Ling Qiu saw his arm being torn apart from his body. The pain was so strong that it attacked his brain first. He was sweating profusely and his lips were completely bloodless. He clearly felt that his life was fading away at a very fast speed, just like the gushing blood. Now he didn't even have the strength to cry out.

Qin Yuechuan took the handkerchief handed to him by the person beside him and wiped his hands: "As long as he can speak, it doesn't matter if he is cut into a stick. If he speaks dirty words and insults the princess again, this is how he will be treated."

"Don't let him die."

The guards around him didn't dare to breathe and nodded.

After leaving the dungeon, it was already pitch black at night. Qin Yuechuan subconsciously walked towards the main courtyard. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that Xu Xinyue seemed to dislike the smell of blood. He raised his arm to sniff the odor of her robe, frowned, changed direction, and went to another room to take a shower and change clothes.

When Qin Yuechuan returned to the main courtyard, he found the house was brightly lit, but Xu Xinyue was nowhere to be seen.

He frowned, without even having time to tie up his loose black hair, and turned around to look for Xu Xianyue in Lanyue Pavilion, the pharmacy and other places where she often stayed.

Finally, Qin Yuechuan found Xu Xinyue in the corner of the study and breathed a sigh of relief.

The makeshift charcoal brazier in the house was not that cold, but the study was a large space, and this little bit of heat was not enough to keep warm.

Xu Xinyue was kneeling in front of the nanmu box, with the bright candlelight beside her, holding a torn scroll, reading so intently that she didn't even hear the sound of him pushing the door.

Qin Yuechuan couldn't bear to disturb her, but he was also curious about what she was looking at, so he walked forward silently, wanting to find out.

The nanmu boxes here are filled with rare ancient books. Which one of them caught Xu Xinyue's attention?

Walking behind her, Qin Yuechuan leaned over to take a look in order to avoid blocking her light source. After just one glance, he reached out with a solemn expression and grabbed the broken scroll from her hand.

Without even a glance at it, he threw it accurately into the burning charcoal basin.

Xu Xinyue had no time to come back to her senses. She looked up blankly, her eyes following the object in his hand. When she came to her senses, she immediately stood up and tried to rescue the person from the fire.

Qin Yuechuan stretched out his arms and held her in his arms. Regardless of her struggle, he turned his head and looked coldly at the charcoal basin until all the paper scraps and ashes disappeared. He was sure that she had completely disappeared from the world, and then he let go of Xu Xinyue.

Xu Xinyue stood in front of the charcoal basin quickly, looked at the remaining ashes inside, turned around and asked: "Qin Yuechuan, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. That kind of stuff is nonsense and not credible."

"That is the method of rebirth and dissolution. All things have cause and effect. This may be the only scroll that can dissolve it. If you don't believe it, why did you destroy it..."

Qin Yuechuan's voice was steady, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, as if it was just a piece of waste paper that was destroyed.

"Yueyue, I don't want to untie it."

Xu Xinyue thought he didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so she explained to him:

"The scroll says that one can live forever and never be reincarnated. Every time one comes back, perhaps the node of rebirth is different."

"Perhaps I will have to witness the death of my loved ones, suffer the pain of frost, and..."

Xu Xinyue couldn't bear to continue.

Not every time, with the memory of having done it again last time, one may not always be able to avoid past mistakes.

He shouldn't be like this. Isn't it enough to have experienced all this pain once?

Wait, Xu Xinyue suddenly realized something. If that’s the case...is this really Qin Yuechuan’s first rebirth?

If not, then wouldn't every night...

Xu Xinyue couldn't make sense of the situation. Her mind was in a mess and she thought she was just daydreaming again.

"I am willing, Yueyue,"

"If it's my fate."

Qin Yuechuan pursed his lips, his voice deep and clear, bewitching as if it was filled with the scent of alcohol.

He raised his foot and walked towards her step by step.

"I'm fine, but if that's the case, I'll probably have to ask Yueyue to wait for me for a little longer."

"But I will try to find you as soon as possible."

Xu Xinyue was angry and distressed: "...Is it really worth it?"

Qin Yuechuan felt that this question sounded familiar, as if someone had asked it not at this moment, but in his previous life or in the past.

He couldn't remember how he answered before, but at this moment, he held her gently in his arms and sighed, "Yueyue, it's worth it."

You will never know that the moment you know the truth, although it is painful, it also contains indescribable excitement and joy.

It seemed as if all the sufferings endured in the past few days were insignificant from that moment on, turning into dust and disappearing into the sea of ​​clouds.
