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

Xu Mingxi's palms were wet and sticky, and he stood there without responding.

Qin Zhaolie thought she was frightened and subconsciously raised his hands to clap.

But everyone in the front hall looked at each other, not understanding what Qin Zhaolie meant by his current action.

Qin Zhaolie thought of something, coughed lightly, and said, "Bring me a dagger."

The servant took the order and withdrew. After a while, he held an exquisite short blade in both hands and presented it to Qin Zhaolie.

Qin Zhaolie pointed at Xu Mingxi. The servant understood and bowed, then turned around and presented the short blade to Xu Mingxi.

"Princess, do you want to do it yourself or should I call for help?"

Xu Mingxi stared at Qin Zhaolie angrily, biting her lip without saying a word, and did not move at all.

"Since Princess does not make a choice, I will help you."

Three or five servants came forward and tried to force Xu Mingxi to submit.

Xu Mingxi used all his strength to push them all away, throwing them and the short blade to the ground and kicking them far away.

Qin Zhaolie did not get angry. Seeing her fierce reaction, he said, "Since you don't want to cut off your finger, then give up your position as the princess."

"Xu Mingxi, as a princess, is stubborn and unrepentant. She refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. She is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others. She persecutes the heir to the throne and has a bad character. From today on, you will be demoted to a concubine."

"As for the power of the principal wife and the household affairs of the palace, they will be temporarily in the hands of—"

Concubine Luo's eyes were bright, and she looked up at Qin Zhaolie expectantly.

In the harem, she currently holds the highest position, has the most seniority, and is the one most favored by Qin Zhaolie.

Concubine Luo raised her lips slightly, and with the help of the maid beside her, she steadied her body and held on to the armrest. She was ready to stand up and express her gratitude.

Just waiting for Qin Zhaolie to say that.

But Qin Zhaolie didn't look at her. Instead, he turned his eyes to the side, pointed at that place, and then said, "You will take over for the time being."

Concubine Luo was dumbfounded, watching the fat meat that was about to reach her mouth suddenly fall into the mouth of someone else, and that person was the newcomer Xu Yuqiong!

Those two Xu sisters are simply her nemesis!

Concubine Luo's body weakened even more, and the look she gave Xu Yuqiong was filled with even more sorrow, resentment and viciousness.

Xu Yuqiong was also slightly surprised, then she stood up, bowed to Qin Zhaolie calmly, and declined: "I am still inexperienced, I am afraid I can't take on the important task and let down the prince's kindness. Even if I am wrong, please..."

Qin Zhaolie interrupted her chattering: "I will give it to you if I say so. Don't say anything more."

Xu Yuqiong was pretending to be humble, but seeing Qin Zhaolie was so strong, she responded submissively: "Yes, I will obey your command."

Qin Zhaolie said a few words to comfort Concubine Luo, gave her some toys, and then asked the maid to help her back to her own courtyard.

Xu Mingxi also walked out of the front hall with a flick of his sleeves. He didn't care about being his main wife or concubine, so letting Xu Yuqiong take charge of the household affairs was a hundred times better than letting Concubine Luo take over!

The other concubines stood up and left. Xu Yuqiong was the last one. She was about to step out of the door when she heard someone behind her suddenly say, "You stay."

Xu Yuqiong didn't know what Qin Zhaolie had planned. She retracted her steps, folded her hands in front of her stomach, and respectfully responded to the greeting again. She asked softly, "What else do you want, Your Majesty?"

The person above his head suddenly said: "Huang Yu, you did a good job."

Xu Yuqiong looked up in surprise, paused for a moment, then suddenly felt excited. She realized that she had been rude, abandoned her previous pretentious tone, and immediately said, "Master."

"I just used the name of Prince Qi to threaten the court doctor to obey us. Although Xu Mingxi has done him a favor, he also knows that the power of life and death of his life is still in the hands of Prince Qi, that is, you at the moment."

"But, why did you take your body so early?"

When Xu Yuqiong heard that Qin Liexing was critically ill, she thought he had some new plan and was just trying to deceive her. But she didn't expect that this was actually -

"There was a change of plan, so I had to do this."

“Hongyu has already seized Princess Rong’s body through the raccoon slave, but it seems that he doesn’t have full control at the moment.

"Once she succeeds, we will have another chess piece to contain Prince Rong's Mansion."

He stretched out his hand and looked at his palm, "But Qin Zhaolie is too useless. He is in such a state. His leg will probably need to be healed for a while. It seems that he is also infected with poison. Tsk."

"I have already sent people to find a way to detoxify. Master, don't worry. We will definitely solve it."

"Never mind. I learned a few days ago that Princess Rong has some abilities. I will contact Hongyu in a few days to see if she can get some useful information out of her."

Qin Zhaolie's gaze fell on his "strange" five fingers, which were curled up to the extreme and then fully stretched, over and over again.

It was as if he was talking to Xu Yuqiong, or to himself: "This Princess Rong is still very useful, and she cannot be easily damaged."

*

"Princess, Princess! Xiao Shu didn't mean it! Please forgive me, Princess!"

There were bursts of noise in his ears, from others and, it seemed, from his own... Breaking free from the hustle and bustle, Xu Xinyue's mind suddenly became clear, his ears and eyes sharp, and his consciousness became clear again.

When she came to her senses, Xiao Chan knelt at her feet, begging for her forgiveness with tears in her eyes.

forgive?

What happened again?

"Xiaochan? What's wrong?"

Xu Xinyue helped her up and asked softly.

Xiao Chan's attitude towards Xu Xinyue has changed. Compared with just now, she is like two different people.

She had been serving Xu Xinyue for so many years, but she had never seen her so cruel.

Xu Xinyue, whose every frown and smile is like spring water in a clear lake, is always so gentle and warms people's hearts. But just now, just because Xiao Shu asked a few more questions, Xu Xinyue was slapped in anger and almost spilled the hot tea on Xiao Shu's face.

Thanks to Xiao Chan's quick hands and eyes, Xiao Shu was able to escape danger. Otherwise, Xiao Shu's face would have been ruined.

Listening to Xiao Chan timidly begging for mercy for Xiao Shu, Xu Xinyue's face turned pale and her heart felt very blocked. She had never thought that such an outcome would occur.

She had only asked Xiao Shu to chat with her about some past events when she was wearing heavy makeup, just to test the waters, but she had not expected that it would provoke such a big reaction from another "herself".

Looking at herself in a bright red dress, Xu Xinyue sat back in the chair and relaxed for a moment. Then she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan, who were standing beside her with tears in their eyes and trembling. She wanted to say a few words to comfort them, but she didn't know where to start.

Xu Xinyue lowered her eyelashes again: "I scared you..."

"It's not my fault. I'm afraid I have a disease, so I'm a little out of control."

She thought about it, but still felt it was not safe enough, so she said, "Why don't I send you out of the house first? You stay away from me for the next few days..."

Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan stepped forward immediately, seeming to be more aggrieved than before, and said in a tearful voice: "The princess wants to chase us away?"

Xu Xinyue pulled Xiaoshu's arm over, lifted her sleeves, looked at her fingers and wrists, and checked her cheeks, neck and other exposed skin areas, where there were still small areas of red spots.

She sighed, took out the ointment and applied it to Xiao Shu's red and swollen area, saying as she applied it:

"I'm not chasing you away."

"You have been with me for many years and are very close to me. I have been ill recently and my mood has been unstable. I may hurt you one day. Perhaps I can send you out of the house to avoid the limelight and wait for me..."

Xiao Shuhui held Xu Xinyue's hand and shook his head like a rattle: "Princess, we know that this is not what you want to do. We will not leave."

Xiao Chan also nodded: "We grew up together and know the princess best. In such a large palace, in fact, if you count all the people together, there is no one else close to the princess except us two. At this time, the prince is not here. If there is any trouble, it should be us and the princess who help each other and solve it together."

Xiao Shu wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "It's my fault today. Looking at the princess's face, I thought that no matter what, the princess would indulge us. My words and actions today were indeed inappropriate..."

Xu Xinyue smiled faintly: "I do indulge you. Unless it is necessary, I like you to be relaxed and lively around me."

Xu Xinyue gradually stopped smiling and looked a little serious: "But I think you guys should be more alert recently..."

Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan nodded and promised that they would be more careful in the future.

"Since you don't want to leave, please help me pay attention to my unusual behavior recently. If I do something unusual, you two should protect yourselves. You don't need to stop me unless it's absolutely necessary. Just quietly help me write it down. Do you understand?"

"Well, we understand, Princess."

"Then you go out first. No matter what you hear later, don't come in without my call."

Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and agreed.

Xu Xinyue waited for the two to leave the room and made sure that the doors and windows were closed. As if she had made a decision, she took out a sharp gold hairpin from her dressing table with a resolute look and held it in her palm.

Staring at the expressionless self in the mirror, I said:

"come out."

She was the only one in the empty room, and there was no sound.

After a long silence, she continued, "I know you are in my body. When I woke up just now, I heard your voice."

"You are hiding your head and showing your tail. Since you don't want to show yourself, and I don't want to be controlled by others, then let's die together."

Xu Xinyue held the handle of the hairpin and pretended to stroke it towards her wrist. At the critical moment, Xu Xinyue's hand seemed to encounter strong resistance, and the sharp tip of the hairpin was forced to hover at a finger's distance from touching her skin.

Xu Xinyue was shocked. She frowned and bit her lip, trying to struggle with all her might, but found that she couldn't get free for a while.

There was an invisible and powerful force that tried its best to stop her from hurting herself.

At the same time, another voice echoed in my mind.

It was feminine and ghostly, lingering around, as if it were nothingness, and only she could hear it.

Xu Xinyue only heard the voice chanting her name faintly:

[Xu Xianyue.]

Xu Xinyue's struggle suddenly stopped. She looked up at herself in the mirror, pondered for a moment, paused for each word, and asked slowly:

"Are you...another me?"

Hongyu didn't intend to tell the truth, and responded ambiguously: [I guess so. You are me, and I am you.]

Xu Xianyue frowned and remained silent for a few breaths, then asked: [If so, may I know when you appeared?]

[It’s been a long time. You may not know it, but I have always been with you.]

[In this world, there will be no one who is closer to you than you and I]

Hongyu's purpose is to deceive, and he doesn't have much sincerity in his words. He just speaks sweet words and bewitching words.

She had to admit that Xu Xinyue's body was the most difficult one she had encountered in her many years of controlling bodies.

This was the first time she encountered a body that could accommodate two souls, and also the first time she controlled it.

Just as Qin Liexing said, apart from coexisting with the soul of the original owner, if one wants to control the body, the two souls can only fight each other, oppress each other with force, and the stronger one will be the master.

Hongyu originally wanted to quietly seize sovereignty, suppress Xu Xinyue's soul, and take over his body.

However, she didn't know whether it was because she lacked experience in controlling a dual-soul body, or because Xu Xinyue's main soul was too strong, she was unable to fully control it for a while.

Her main soul would always take back her body from time to time.

No, it's impossible.

It must be that she hasn't got the hang of it yet. It's only a matter of time before she's a weak woman like her is controlled by others.

Since this method is difficult at the moment, it is better to coax her into giving in voluntarily, and share control of her body for the time being, and then slowly make plans in the future.

Xu Xinyue heard the voice in her head reply again:

[I am also Xu Xianyue, a Xu Xianyue who lives only to protect you.]

[You and I coexist together, and no one in the world cares more about your safety than I do.]

Every word and sentence shows his stance. She and she share weal and woe, and live in harmony with each other. It seems that everything he does is for her sake.

Xu Xinyue questioned: "Since you are me, you should know that Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan have been friends since childhood, so why did you hurt her?"

[I just can't stand seeing others disobey you and be disrespectful to you. Xiaoshu's words and actions were indeed inappropriate. I just gave her a little warning and never thought of endangering her life.]

Xu Xinyue seemed to relax her tone and replied in a low voice: "Is that so... Are you doing this for my sake?"

[Yes, probably, my actions were also slightly inappropriate.]

Xu Xinyue felt her fingertips loosen, and the invisible force seemed to disappear.

She put down her hairpin and seemed to have let down her guard. She asked softly, "When did you show up?"

It was like a heart-to-heart talk between close friends, revealing their true feelings, and the topics they talked about were also sincere and full of childishness.

Xu Xinyue smiled and asked her, "What are your hobbies?"

"How long have you been with me? How old are you?"

"Do you like tofu and red sunflower like me?"

Hong Yu thought Xu Xianyue was indeed simple-minded, and could be fooled by a few nice words. She relaxed her guard and casually agreed to her request:

[Yes, I was born and lived with you. Except that I am more outgoing and passionate and like bright things, my other favorite things are similar to yours.]

[As for food, I like to eat whatever you like.]

"Really? I see."

As she responded, the gentleness in Xu Xianyue's eyes faded a little, the smile on her lips faded a little, and she had a rough conclusion in her heart -

"She" is lying.

Her dislike for tofu has been a habit she has had since childhood.

So "she" did not follow since childhood.

I cannot eat red sunflower, and I only found out in the past six months that it conflicts with my constitution. She had never known about this fatal weakness, so it did not appear in the past six months.

Since it is not born from the entity, a terrifying conclusion is about to emerge.

Xu Xinyue's back stiffened, and her hair stood on end. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to face it -

She suddenly remembered that she had read the concept of "soul transfer" in "Records of the Four Kingdoms" at the bottom of the cliff a few days ago.

It is quite similar to the current situation.
