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

Here, Qin Lingruo saw Qin Leng's new and old injuries piling up on each other, and the fire in her heart burned her heart and lungs. Her throat was dry and she could hardly utter a word.

He stared at the sleeping Qin Leng quietly and apologetically.

The imperial physician rebandaged his wound and gave him the same instructions as before he left, with only one more sentence added:

"Even though you are young, you can't stand this kind of torture. If you want to recover completely, you still need to rest well. The tearing today was too severe. I'm afraid the rest of the rest you've done in the past few days will be in vain."

It was already late at night, and Qin Lingruo was still sitting beside the couch, showing no intention of leaving, as if she was determined to watch him wake up.

Xu Xinyue sighed, placed the warm medicine in her hands, sat with her quietly for a while, and then left the bedroom silently.

Xu Xinyue was on her way back to Yanfang Palace.

There was only one palace maid in front of her, holding an octagonal glass lamp at her side and leading the way.

Xu Xinyue stared at the yellow candlelight shining through the glass in front of her, thinking about everything that happened today.

Thinking of Qin Leng, she blamed herself even more. No matter what, today's incident was caused by her.

If she had not thought of fighting with He Yunyin, Qin Leng's injury would not have been made worse, causing Qin Lingruo to worry so much.

You may be a little impatient today.

However, she was pressed for time and could not afford to take it slow with He Yunyin.

Inside the palace, he was already in shackles, and the nails on his side were one after another. They had to be removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, how could he have a chance to help his uncle obtain the "list".

There is also a way to remove the "soul-transferring" magic that is binding his body.

Xu Xinyue was lost in thought, gradually slowing down her pace and finally coming to a standstill.

The palace maid leading the way paid no attention and continued walking forward with the lantern in her hand.

Xu Xinyue watched the fire in front of her move farther and farther away, until it turned into faint stars and disappeared in the dark corner.

It was a quiet and cold night, the darkness was as dark as ink.

The lake breeze mixed with water vapor and plum fragrance came, and Xu Xinyue guessed that they must have arrived at Jianxin Lake.

She did not chase after the palace maid in front of her. Instead, she turned on her tiptoes and slowly walked towards the lake in the faint moonlight.

From the inside out, the heavy "shackles" wrapped around her body bound her and imprisoned her every moment, making it difficult for her to catch her breath.

It seems that only the cool lake breeze passing through the throat can bring a moment of coolness and relief to the heart that has been stuffy for a long time.

She slowly and deeply exhaled a long, thick, foul breath.

Stepping onto the lake pavilion, holding onto the eaves, I leaned over and looked down at the sparkling moonlight reflected on the lake.

The waves are floating, the dark blue lake surface, and the silvery moon shadow. The moon floating on the lake surface ripples lightly with the ripples, which is both complete and scattered.

She is almost the same as she is now.

Staring at the moon reflection in the lake, he ignored the distance between the lake pavilion and the water surface. The bright moon in front of him seemed to be very close. Xu Xinyue couldn't help but bend down and wanted to scoop up a handful of the moon reflection in the water.

When she leaned forward, her wrist was suddenly pulled back by a strong force and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was nimble and turned in time and landed on the lintel of the bench in the lake pavilion.

Xu Xinyue felt pain and rubbed her numb wrist, looking up at the person in front of her in confusion. The tall man with a black scarf covering his face stood three steps away from her. In the cold night, his dark pupils were even colder than the icy lake.

The sound was like a knife rolling on sea buckthorn, rough and dull, causing Xu Xinyue's eardrums to hurt. She thought to herself, no wonder he rarely spoke:

"Hongyu, it's not your turn to decide whether to live or die."

Xu Xinyue understood.

"You think I'm committing suicide?"

Although Ming Wu did not respond, the meaning revealed in his eyes clearly meant: What if not?

Xu Xinyue wanted to retort, but suddenly changed her mind: I don’t know if this Ming Wu also has ulterior motives like Wuming, and whether he can be won over.

Hong Zhu was just a palace maid. Xu Xinyue had tested her and found that she had no martial arts skills. If she wanted to get rid of her, she could still find a way. However, this Ming Wu was different.

His whereabouts are ghostly and he hides in the dark. His every word and action is no secret to him. The biggest constraint in the palace comes from this. If we get rid of this person, maybe it will be much easier to do things in the future.

But this was not Prince Rong's mansion. Xu Xinyue knew that she couldn't easily reveal her true colors, so she still maintained Hongyu's demeanor, pretending to be tired, half limp, leaning against the railing behind her, and spoke in a charming voice:

"Ming Wu, there are only you and me now, and we are all on the same path. I will only speak from the bottom of my heart."

She tilted her head, looked at the lake with her tender eyes, and sighed:

"I never thought of committing suicide. I just looked at the reflection of the moon in the water and was inspired to do so."

Ming Wu was puzzled, but did not respond.

Xu Xianyue added: "This moon is right before my eyes, as if I can touch it, but it is ultimately just an illusion, illusory and fleeting, just like you and me."

"She is the most honorable concubine of Prince Rong, favored by Prince Rong, valued by His Majesty. She looks glamorous on the outside, but who knows the pain inside?"

"Look at your martial arts skills. If you were to travel the world, you would surely live a carefree life, which would be better than facing me every day now."

"We spend our lives reincarnating in other people's bodies, with no fame, wealth, or honor that truly belongs to us."

"I will always serve others and be controlled by them. When will I be able to have my own life..."

The faint lingering sound swirled in the cold wind of the lake pavilion, speaking out in a low sigh, as if he was mourning for himself, or pitying Ming Wu who had the same experience as him.

Xu Xianyue leaned sideways, lazily leaning against the eaves pillar, half resting her chin on her hand, talking to herself, murmuring sadly: "When will days like this come to an end..."

Putting yourself in other people's shoes, explaining your feelings, and feeling them personally are always the best ways to open your heart.

Xu Xinyue recited sadly for a long time, hoping that Ming Wu would have some reaction so that she could prescribe the right medicine and deal with it.

But I didn't expect that this wooden lump would not respond at all.

This trick doesn't work. Soft tactics don't work, so I have to use hard tactics.

Xu Xinyue was about to leave when she heard a sound of breaking wind, which brushed past her head. She had just stood up, but was blown away by the strong wind and fell back to her original position.

Ming Wu was also being bombarded by arrows. He shouted at Xu Xianyue:

"waste!"

The commotion here also attracted the nearby palace patrols to come in a hurry. Ming Wu relaxed for a while, picked up Xu Xinyue and quickly left for Yanfang Palace. Halfway through, Xu Xinyue suddenly heard a muffled groan above her head, and fell straight to the ground. Xu Xinyue was about to kneel on the ground, but was stabilized by another wrist: "Princess!"

It’s Xuanyi!

"How did you come?"

"Are those assassins from our Xuanxiao Pavilion?"

"But have you found Qin Yuechuan?"

"Did you deliver the message?"

It was such a pleasant surprise to meet Xuanyi here.

Dark clouds were hiding from the moon, and Xu Xinyue was in the shadow of the wall at this time. She could not see the guilty and evasive look that flashed across Xuan Yi's face. She only heard him say, "Well... your subordinates... will relay all the answers. The prince is currently in the Nanyuan Imperial Court. In other words... everything is up to the princess's orders."

Hearing that he was safe, Xu Xinyue's brows relaxed and she smiled with relief. The warmth in her eyes was gentler than the bright moonlight in the sky.

I put my mind at ease, looked towards the south abyss, and said very softly:

"It's great that he's willing to listen."

Then she asked:

"You didn't tell him I was in the palace?"

This sentence deserves a decisive "No."

Xu Xinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up, gently patted the dust off her dress, and glanced at Ming Wu: "Help me deal with this man."

After a pause, he changed his tone and said, "Test his character and see if he can be used for your own purposes. If he is stubborn, you can do whatever you want."

She glanced at Xuanyi's stature and height: "You've lost some weight, and your height is a little different from his."

He glanced at the person lying on the ground again.

"Find someone of ours who is of similar stature and age to replace him. He is smarter and may even have to deal with the queen."

Xuan Yi said disdainfully: "A guy with this level of martial arts skills is worthy of protecting the princess!"

Xu Xinyue said: "I don't know if it's good or not. It was originally just to monitor my actions. It's more than enough to control me alone."

Xuan Yi shut up, frowned and stared at her for a long while, his eyes full of shame, and said in a low voice: "Princess, you have suffered recently."

Xu Xinyue pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "It's good, it's good. I was just worried about it, and you came. You solved my big problem."

Xuan Yi squatted down and pulled off his face scarf. He was suddenly shocked by the scar covering half of his face. This man must have suffered a lot before, with whip marks, knife scars, everything. No wonder he had to cover his face with a black scarf.

Xuan Yi secretly noted the location of the scar, thinking that he should prepare a human skin mask.

He looked around at Ming Wu's figure, thinking about who in his memory could replace him. Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind. Xuan Yi stood up and made a decision in his mind: "I know someone who can replace him, but that person is not here. Please be patient, Princess. I will find that person to replace him as soon as possible."

Xu Xinyue said: "The Queen will hold a palace banquet in a few days. This is a good time to fish in troubled waters."
