Recalling something, Xu Xinyue asked Xuanyi again: "How is Wuming's matter?"

"Don't worry, Princess. With your shadow-chasing powder and the tracking skills, Xuanxiao Pavilion has trained them intensively and has already found Wuming."

"According to the method you left, the doctor has already acupunctured the acupoints and given the antidote. His pulse is fine now and his breathing has recovered, but he still hasn't woken up."

Xu Xinyue nodded: "After all, it is forcibly suppressing the blood stasis in the lungs and internal organs. The longer it takes, the longer it will take to relax and recuperate. It's okay. As long as you follow the method I left behind and apply acupuncture to the acupoints every day, you should wake up in a few days."

Xuan Yi listened to the fighting sounds in the distance and said, "Princess, the imperial guards over there can only hold us back for a while. I can't stay here for long. I have to leave."

"it is good."

"Princess, please be patient for now. I will find a replacement right away and help you out of this predicament as soon as possible."

Xuan Yi walked a few steps, turned around and said, "I almost forgot, there is also this for the princess."

Xu Xinyue was puzzled: "Hmm?"

Xuan Yi didn't say much, just handed a letter to her.

Xu Xianyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yeah."

Watch Xuanyi disappear into the endless night sky.

Xu Xianyue unfolded the letter, facing the moonlight. The handwriting on the paper was vigorous. It was just one sentence, but it was written in two colors of ink: "The jade dice is full of love, knowing that you promised, I will never let you down, I miss you so much."

Xu Xinyue pursed her lips, and the girl under the moon smiled gently and softly, with a radiant smile.

He discovered the "secret" of the purse.

He still has some conscience and knows to deliver a letter.

Xu Xinyue folded the letter carefully and put it back into her sleeve.

When Ming Wu woke up, he was dazed for a moment, then suddenly became conscious. He turned over and sat up, looking around alertly.

"you're awake."

Seeing his alert expression, Xu Xinyue knew that he was searching for her.

Xu Xianyue sat hugging her knees under the high wall, turned her gaze away from the bright moon in the sky and back to Ming Wu. She said calmly, "Your body movement is really useless. You were unconscious for such a long time just because you were accidentally hit by an assassin."

Ming Wu stood up quickly, staring at Xu Xinyue's figure for a few breaths, and asked in a questioning tone: "Have you been here since just now?"

Xu Xinyue leaned against the wall and slowly stood still. She looked back at his scrutinizing gaze fearlessly and retorted with suppressed anger:

"What if not?"

"I have no weapons and cannot protect myself. Those assassins are most likely coming for me, and you..."

"I can't even defeat you. If I leave without permission, am I going to seek death?"

Although his voice was soft, his words were sarcastic and sharp, and his accusation was evident in every word.

As if she was extremely dissatisfied with him, she couldn't help but raise her voice a few notches:

"The Queen sent you to be my bodyguard, and this is how you 'protect' me? In the end, you even asked me to stay with you! If I wasn't worried that you would die, the Queen would blame and suspect me, do you think I would be willing to stay here?"

"You still call me a loser, but I think you are not much better than a loser like me!"

This retort left Ming Wu, who was already not good at speaking, even more speechless.

Xu Xinyue couldn't see the expression on the face under the black scarf, she only heard the mocking voice and said with forbearance: "It's my fault."

Xu Xianyue didn't want to dwell on this matter any more, so she walked past him and said, "It's already so late, if we keep dawdling it'll be morning, take me back to the palace! This incident won't happen again."

Ming Wu did not respond, but followed obediently behind him.

It was almost Chou time when we returned to Yanfang Palace.

Xu Xinyue was extremely sleepy and tired tonight. She had no extra energy to practice soul control. She closed the door of the palace, leaving only a candle to guide the way, and walked towards the bed. She was so lazy that she didn't even take off her clothes, and fell asleep while hugging the quilt.

In her dream, she seemed to see the figure she had been thinking about day and night, but it was hazy and unclear.

Xu Xianyue unconsciously called out softly:

"Ashe..."

The sound is as light as dust.

The bedroom was empty, the candle wick flickered, but no one responded.

She slept soundly, and it was Hongzhu who woke her up:

"Princess, princess!"

Xu Xianyue opened her eyes and saw that it was Hongzhu. She did not stand up immediately, but asked vaguely, "Hongzhu? ...What's the matter?"

Hong Zhu said, "The prince wants to see you."

Xu Xinyue's mind was in a daze when she woke up. She didn't react for a moment and blurted out, "Which prince?"

"It's Prince Qi. Prince Qi wants to see you."

Hearing about Prince Qi, Xu Xinyue's mind suddenly became clear as if a cold wind had passed through it. She sat up straight, her eyes and ears clear, and her voice was clear and no longer hazy: "Why does Prince Qi want to see me?"

"I didn't know that this morning, after hearing that Concubine Yun was punished, Prince Qi wanted to see you and told me that he wanted you to go to the Qinzheng Palace."

Xu Xinyue analyzed quickly and realized that Longqi Palace was His Majesty's bedroom except when he went to the harem.

Qin Liexing's current body is Qin Zhaolie, and on paper she is also his sister-in-law. How dare he summon her in front of the emperor?

Xu Xinyue was suspicious, but she could not delay and let Hongzhu dress her up. In a short while, the master and servant went to the Dragon Resting Hall.

On the way, he ran into Qin Liexing.

Xu Xinyue didn't know whether it was a coincidence or Qin Liexing had intentionally intercepted her. She imitated Hongyu's behavior and saluted gracefully, "Your Majesty."

Qin Lie sat next to Su Yu, glanced at her calmly, and handed her a sandalwood box.

"Take out a few pills from the contents and put them in your sleeve. If the old emperor asks you anything later, just say you have nothing to do and tell him to take the pills."

Xu Xinyue lowered her eyes, looked at the box in her hands, and roughly understood a little bit in her heart.

Qin Liexing didn't even let His Majesty go. This pill must have a big problem.

"The imperial physician will take care of this matter. Would it be inappropriate for an outsider like me to deliver the pills?"

Qin Liexing sneered, "You are an outsider, but your body is not. Some time ago, the old emperor took the medicine given by Princess Rong and his health improved greatly. After that, he trusted Princess Rong a little. Now that you have inherited her body, you have also inherited the old emperor's trust. It is most appropriate for you to send her off."

Xu Xinyue bit her lip slightly, and the five fingers holding the wooden box tightened unconsciously.

Qin Liexing could see her hesitation and said:

"No problem. If there are any consequences, it will happen to this body. By then, you will have returned to your original body. This matter, from beginning to end, was done by Princess Rong alone. Hongyu, this matter has nothing to do with you. Just do it."

Ah! ?

Hold it in, hold it in. I’ve been wanting to swear more and more recently.

Xu Xinyue gnashed her teeth, her nails digging into the edge of the wooden box, and she suppressed her anger. She swallowed her breath calmly and said, "I understand."

“You don’t need to do much, just go with the flow.”

Xu Xinyue didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she followed Qin Liexing to the Dragon Resting Palace.

In fact, there is a question that Xu Xinyue has always wanted to know, but with her current identity, it is inconvenient for her to ask - where did Yanxu go?

Isn’t he Qin Yuechuan’s man?

Why is it that in recent times, I seem to have neither seen nor heard his figure or movements?

Xu Xinyue glanced at Qin Liexing's back, then quickly looked away, with a bad feeling rising in her heart.

Yanxu, it can't be...

Before he could think deeply, Qin Liexing had already entered the Dragon Resting Hall. Xu Xinyue walked quickly and followed him straight into the inner hall.

"Father, I am here to visit you. I heard that Princess Rong is in pain. Since she is in the palace, I would like to invite her to come with me."

Xu Xinyue was about to salute, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there are no outsiders here."

"I have been feeling unwell lately. The imperial doctors always said that I was too tired and asked me to rest well, but there was no improvement."

"Princess Rong, I just happened to have you in the palace. If that's the case, please take a look for me."

Xu Xinyue glanced at Qin Liexing and stepped forward. Only then did she see the emperor's face clearly. To say that he looked haggard was not an exaggeration.

His complexion is dull, his eye muscles are weak, and when he raises his eyes, the sharpness of his tiger eyes in the past is gone, and the furrows at the corners of his eyes are deep and distinct, drooping down. If he were not wearing famous brocade and sitting on a dragon couch, who would have thought that the old man in front of him with such a haggard face is the current emperor.

I still remember the time when the Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday, it was not as good as this.

Just a few months...

Xu Xinyue couldn't bear to look any longer, and after hesitating for a few moments, she lowered her eyes and touched the emperor's wrist.

Qin Liexing, who was watching from the side, gradually leaned forward, his eyes were sharp, and the arc of his lips pursed seemed to indicate displeasure, but he did not say anything, just coughed lightly with his fist.

Xu Xinyue seemed not to hear.

After a moment, Xu Xinyue's five fingers left the pulse and took out a pill from her sleeve, which was almost the same as the one Qin Liexing had just given her: "Your Majesty, there is indeed nothing wrong with your body. If Your Majesty trusts me, taking this medicine every day may help Your Majesty recover soon."

Seeing her take the pill, Qin Liexing finally relaxed his brows, calmed down, put one arm on the armrest, and watched Xu Xinyue pour a bowl of water and put the pill into the emperor's mouth.
