Qin Yuechuan couldn't explain to Xu Xinyue why he was so sure that the man opposite him was not the real "Qin Yuechuan".

Good, it's really good! The intention of plotting against Yueyue actually hit him on the head!

Qin Yuechuan suppressed his surging emotions and slashed at the man with eyes as sharp as a knife.

The voice was whispered, but Xu Xinyue was sure to hear it: "It might be a trick."

Xu Xinyue's confused and frightened thoughts suddenly became clear.

Indeed, it is very likely that there is a fraud.

Qin Yuechuan's jaw was clenched tightly, and he took a step forward to protect Xu Xinyue behind him.

The "Qin Yuechuan" on the opposite side made eye contact with him, and his eyes were as cold and sharp as a knife. The two of them confronted each other coldly in the air, neither of them giving in.

The "Qin Yuechuan" on the opposite side stretched out a hand towards Xu Xinyue:

"Yueyue, come to my side."

Qin Yuechuan's face was cold, and he reached out for the sword at his waist. When his right hand touched the hilt, he suddenly saw a slender figure passing by his side. The corners of her eyes were watery, as if she was aggrieved, and as if she had lost her soul due to missing someone. She said to that person in a sad and gentle voice: "Qin Yuechuan..."

Qin Yuechuan was shocked and was about to raise his arm to hold her wrist, but he saw Xu Xinyue slightly put her right hand behind her back and made a gesture to Qin Yuechuan to retreat with the cover of her sleeve.

Qin Yuechuan paused in place, his hand on the hilt frozen at the moment when he was about to draw the sword, so -

Did Xu Xinyue do this deliberately knowing that there might be a trick? Did she want to - take advantage of the situation?

In just a moment, Qin Yuechuan understood Xu Xinyue's plan, but he was still worried. The other party used his identity to get close to Xu Xinyue, and his intentions must be extraordinary.

Although Qin Yuechuan knew Xu Xinyue's plan, he pretended not to see it and followed him. Xu Xinyue had already reached the man. Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around and said, "Ming Wu, you stay here first. I'll be back in a moment."

After saying that, Xu Xinyue half raised her head and looked at the person beside her, as if asking for his opinion. The person raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and said to Xu Xinyue in a gentle voice: "Of course you can."

When he turned around, the man above Xu Xinyue, who could not see him, curled the corners of his lips at Qin Yuechuan provocatively.

The two walked into the shadow of the alley side by side.

Qin Yuechuan was furious at the moment, and was eager to check out what was happening inside. However, he was concerned about Xu Xinyue's plan, so he was forced to stay at the entrance of the alley, hesitating to move forward.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes as deep as a cold pond, staring coldly and sharply into the depths of the alley, not wanting to miss any sound from inside.

Qin Yuechuan listened carefully and suddenly heard Xu Xinyue's shrill crying and scolding in the alley, and there seemed to be a man's coaxing voice.

Xu Xinyue's grievances and resentments all burst out, spread out of the alley, and penetrated Qin Yuechuan's eardrums.

When Qin Yuechuan heard Xu Xinyue's faint cry, it was as if an arrow pierced his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, unable to restrain himself any longer, and was about to step into the shadows.

Suddenly, a crisp "pa pa" sound was heard echoing in the alley.

Immediately, Xu Xinyue's cheeks were puffed up with anger, and she rushed out of the alley with tears in her eyes. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, got into the carriage without looking back, and shouted angrily: "Ming Wu, go back to the palace!"

The man walked to the entrance of the alley, his figure still hidden in the shadows, and it was impossible to tell what emotion was on his face, but he never came out to say a word to try to keep the customer.

Qin Yuechuan still stood still, confronting the man silently.

But then Xu Xinyue in the carriage shouted again: "Ming Wu! If you don't obey, I can ask the Queen to replace you! Return to the palace!"

Qin Yuechuan turned around coldly, jumped onto the crossbar of the carriage, shouted, and drove the carriage away.

Even after entering the palace and returning to Yanfang Palace, Xu Xinyue seemed to be still angry, with the knot between her brows never loosening.

After sending Hong Zhu away with cold words, he relaxed his expression and took off his disguise of anger. He sat down in the armchair as if relieved of a heavy burden and let out a long sigh of relief.

When his palm rested on the armrest, he hissed in pain.

Qin Yuechuan, who was standing at the door, stepped forward quickly and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it? Are you injured?"

"What did he do to you!?"

"Ah?" Xu Xinyue looked up blankly, "He? Isn't he Qin Yuechuan? What can he do to me?"

Qin Yuechuan said anxiously: "This person is obviously——"

Xu Xinyue interrupted him and said, "It's fake."

Qin Yuechuan paused, and unconsciously loosened his fists: "You... can tell?"

Xu Xinyue glanced at him, and her eyes seemed to be saying: Who are you looking down on?

Xu Xinyue stopped looking at him, shook her hands and muttered, "Except for my father, I'm afraid I really can't tell him from anyone else for a while."

"I have a hundred ways to verify that Qin Yuechuan can be identified."

Qin Yuechuan noticed something was wrong and leaned over to hold her wrist: "How's your hand, princess? Is it injured?"

Xu Xinyue pulled her wrist back: "It doesn't count. I took the opportunity to slap him twice."

"Dare to use Qin Yuechuan to deceive me!"

As he spoke, he pursed his lips and made a gesture of fanning himself left and right.

"That's how I did it... I slapped him twice! I pretended to cry and complain, and then, as expected, I swung my left and right hands and slapped him hard!"

"His face probably won't be any better than my hands."

Qin Yuechuan looked at her red and slightly swollen palms, and could imagine that Xu Xinyue must have used a lot of force.

He sighed helplessly, took out the porcelain bottle of ointment from his arms and handed it to her naturally.

Xu Xinyue took the porcelain bottle and started painting on her own.

Qin Yuechuan suddenly asked: "How did the princess recognize that the man was not the real...Prince Rong?"

Xu Xianyue lowered her head and said, "There are flaws when I try it casually. There are too many. I don't know which one to mention."

"He doesn't even have the purse I made for Qin Yuechuan..."

"He said he left it at the inn, but he actually agreed when I told him that it contained herbs and spices. It was clearly an anti-poison scented bead. He didn't even mention the dice... But Qin Yuechuan clearly found it in his letter a few days ago..."

After Xu Xinyue finished applying the plaster on her right hand, she switched to her left hand. However, she turned her palm over, and a large amount of plaster on her right hand dripped and slid onto the ground, making it everywhere. Xu Xinyue felt distressed: "Let's wait for Hongzhu to come back..."

Qin Yuechuan squatted down and half-knelt in front of the armchair, looking into her eyes, even looking up a little.

Place her left hand in your own.

The slender white hand was like a handful of fresh and moist snow falling in the palm of my hand.

He cut out a large piece of ointment, slowly spread it on her palm, and applied it to her red and swollen area bit by bit. He lowered his eyes and said, "If the princess encounters such things in the future, you can let your subordinates do it. There is no need..."

"Are you stupid? The man today was dressed as Qin Yuechuan, my husband! Which woman have you seen who ordered her to follow and fan her husband?"

"It's obvious that there's something fishy going on here."

Qin Yuechuan laughed, feeling distressed and helpless: "Since Princess, you know he is fake, and you are not worried, will he fight back?"

Xu Xinyue muttered, "I didn't just hit you and then ran away? I urged you to hurry up...but you kept dawdling there."

Qin Yuechuan was speechless and just lowered his head to apply the ointment for her.

But the little mouth above continued to chatter, "Besides, since he is pretending to be Qin Yuechuan, if he wants to imitate the real thing, I believe that he will not fight back."

Xu Xianyue babbled: "It's normal for a wife to scold her husband in private. Although, his face looks exactly like Qin Yuechuan, which makes it a little difficult for me to do anything——"

Qin Yuechuan found it funny, and when he heard her repeatedly calling him "wife" and "husband", he couldn't help but raise his lips secretly: "So the princess is reluctant to give up when she sees that it's Prince Rong's face?"

Xu Xinyue replied frankly: "A little bit indeed."

"The princess was injured like this, but she didn't use her full strength?"

Xu Xinyue shook her head and added, "That's not the case. I used all my strength. I couldn't hit him with my eyes open, so I closed my eyes."

"Out of sight, out of mind. Just treat it as a cabbage."

Qin Yuechuan: "..."

Xu Xianyue said: "If it was really Qin Yuechuan, why would I use such a method?"

Before the corners of Qin Yuechuan's lips could fully lift, he heard Xu Xinyue say:

"If it's really him, I will make him stay alone and stay in Lanyue Pavilion for one... no, three months."

Qin Yuechuan: "..."

It seems that... it's really not as painful as getting hit by a palm. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one...

"Then Princess, can you find out who is the mastermind behind the person who impersonated Prince Rong?"

"Who else could it be? It must be the Queen and Qin Liexing!"

Thinking of this, Xu Xinyue stood up suddenly: "Oh! I almost forgot! If we want to dispel their doubts, we still have to go to Fengluan Palace! Xuansan, let's go now!"
