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

Xu Xianyue's heart ached slightly, and she couldn't help but pull up Qin Yuechuan's sleeve.

She couldn't figure out what the emperor's intention was. It seemed like he didn't respond, but also seemed like he agreed.

Things don't seem to be developing as smoothly as expected.

In other words, Qin Lingruo's crisis has not been completely resolved.

Qin Yuechuan also noticed it, and held her five fingers with his backhand, hooked her palm soothingly, and whispered: "It's okay, I'll take care of everything."

Although the development of events has taken a turn, there is much more room for maneuver compared to the previous life.

Su Jingyu was aware of the situation at this time, and replied with a grin: "Then let's do as Emperor Beixuan said. Your words are not joking, and Emperor Beixuan cannot break his promise."

"That's natural."

Su Jingyu returned to his seat with satisfaction. The emperor was about to raise his hand to signal the singing and dancing to continue, when a guard outside the door suddenly hurried into the palace: "Your Majesty, General He made a surprise attack at night and took the wrong mountain road. He walked to the northern foot of Yue Mountain and said that he had discovered another 'bandit nest'."

Qin Zhaolie suddenly exerted force with his palm, and the wine cup in his hand was crushed unconsciously.

The northern foot of Yueshan Mountain is a bandit’s lair!

The emperor asked: "A den of bandits? Another den of bandits? Where are they hiding?"

The guard lowered his head even more: "The late emperor's... abandoned imperial mausoleum."

"Bastard!"

The emperor was so angry that he could not help but yell, "How dare you use the tomb of the previous emperor as a cover! Even if it is abandoned! The royal tomb is not something that can be occupied by such a villain!"

"Tell He Xuehuai to capture them all in one fell swoop and end the battle quickly! If this is done well, I will reward you handsomely!"

Qin Zhaolie looked calm. He did not bother to remove the broken pieces of wine cup that were embedded in his flesh. He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

What’s going on? We’ve already sent people to strengthen the guard!

Got the wrong way, went the wrong way?

What kind of road could lead to a wrong route of dozens of miles?

It was clearly premeditated. He was heading for the imperial mausoleum from the very beginning!

Otherwise, why choose today?

Qin Zhaolie rubbed his temples in annoyance, his heart beating like a drum.

When did He Xuehuai find out? How much did he know? What did he know about him? Was this a preparation? Now that they had caught him red-handed and the evidence was solid, were they going to bring him out and convict him?

Qin Zhaolie recalled how he had offended He Xuehuai and what way out he could find.

The way back...

Xu family! Yes, Xu Guanghai!

If anything happens, just put the blame on Xu Guanghai and let the Xu family take the blame!

Having made up his mind, Qin Zhaolie felt relieved. He took a few deep breaths, and the heaving in his chest gradually subsided.

Looking up at the emperor who was still furious, he knew that it was best to remain calm at this moment. The development of the situation was still unclear and perhaps it was not the worst yet.

The incident had already happened, and Qin Liexing knew that he had no part in it. Although he was equally angry, his reaction was not as strong as Qin Zhaolie's.

I just wonder why he left the staff there without reporting it.

This has already happened, so it is most important to think of a solution as soon as possible.

Qin Liexing has always been ruthless and calm. It took him only a moment to accept the reality. He sipped his tea and concentrated on thinking about countermeasures.

Qin Yuechuan seemed to look up inadvertently, and while picking up food for Xu Xinyue, he saw the reactions of the two people clearly.

Wondering why no one reported it?

I'm afraid he has already died on the way. How can we report a dead person?

I hope He Xuehuai will succeed in this battle. The generous reward my father just mentioned is also an opportunity. Maybe things will go more smoothly.

Xu Xinyue had been staring at Qin Lingruo. Ever since the emperor agreed to the "winter hunting agreement" with the fourth prince of Nanyuan, Qin Lingruo had been keeping his head down, looking unhappy.

Xu Xinyue couldn't see Qin Yuling's expression and was worried. Suddenly, she saw her stand up and run out, rubbing her eyes.

Xu Xinyue wanted to chase after him and take a look. As soon as she stood up, she was gently held down by Qin Yuechuan. He looked up at her and said, "Ling'er will be fine as someone is following her. Father is upset right now. I will go with you after the banquet."

Xu Xinyue had no choice but to calm down, suppress her anxiety, and sit back in her original position.

After waiting for a long time for the banquet to end, Xu Xinyue pulled Qin Yuechuan and quickly walked towards Qin Lingruo's Qingling Palace.

When they arrived at the hall entrance, they looked through the window lattice and saw that it was pitch black inside. Not even a candlelight could be seen. Only Qin Leng was standing upright at the door.

"Qin Leng?" Xu Xinyue asked him doubtfully, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Leng turned around, his eyes flickered, as if he saw a spark of hope. He wanted to pull Xu Xinyue's sleeve, but was glared back by Qin Yuechuan. He retracted his fingers as if he had been electrocuted, and turned his head to look at the door: "The emperor's sister is in there, she is very sad."

"She's afraid of the dark, I'll be watching over her here."

Xu Xinyue understood and was about to step forward when Qin Leng immediately knelt in front of her and looked up at her: "Please save her."

Qin Leng stood straight. He rarely interacted with people and didn't know how to speak in a roundabout way. He expressed his feelings directly: "The eldest princess can avoid it, and the emperor sister can do the same, right?"

The meaning was unclear, but Xu Xinyue understood that he should have meant "marriage alliance".

Just as Xu Xinyue was about to speak, Qin Yuechuan, who was standing beside her, looked down at Qin Leng and said coldly, "If you can save her, are you willing to give everything for her?"

Qin Leng responded decisively: "Yes!"

Everything he has is given by her, so it doesn't matter whether he gives or not. If she needs it, it's fine for her to take it all back.

Even if we return to the original point, it is nothing more than starting over.

Qin Yuechuan asked again: "Is it okay to sacrifice your life?"

Qin Leng lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised them again with a firm look: "Okay!"

Qin Yuechuan curved his lips slightly: "Remember what you said, if you dare, I can save her."

"If you can survive, not only can you save her, but you may also be able to earn yourself a legitimate identity to stay by her side."

"If you can't make it... maybe she can be saved, but your life will be in jeopardy... Are you willing to do that?"

Qin Leng's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a resounding voice, "Yes."

Qin Yuechuan said: "Whether the marriage can be achieved will mostly depend on the 'winter hunt'. If that's the case, you should go too."
