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

Xu Xinyue was busy all night, and at dawn, she finally prepared the supplementary medicine powder and detoxification pills.

Facing the increasingly bright sky outside the window, Xu Xianyue gathered all the prepared powder together, packaged them, tied the bags, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's finally done! I can go to Prince Su's Mansion to check it out soon..."

Qin Yuechuan, who was dozing with his arms folded across his chest and half leaning against the wall, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard her voice.

Xu Xinyue rubbed her wrist and walked around the seven-panel folding screen with flowers and birds that blocked the inner and outer halls. Only then did she notice Qin Yuechuan's figure: "Xuan San, didn't I tell you to go back and rest? Did you stay here all night?"

"My job is to protect the princess' safety. Wherever the princess is, I will be there."

Xu Xinyue thought that everyone in this line of work was stubborn, and Xuan San was even more stubborn, so she didn't say anything more.

He took out a simple cloth bag that was not even as big as his palm from the inner hall and handed it to him: "This is for you."

Xu Xianyue explained succinctly: "Avoid poison and obstacles. Bring it with you when you go to Prince Su's Mansion. It's best if you don't need it, just in case."

Qin Yuechuan nodded and held her in his arms. Seeing the tiredness in her eyes, she lost some of her usual brilliance. Just as he was about to persuade her to go back and rest for a while, Hong Zhu knocked on the door and called softly, "Princess, are you awake?"

Xu Xinyue just answered through the door: "What's the matter?"

Hong Zhu outside the door replied: "Prince Qi summoned you."

Xu Xianyue felt disgusted, but she had to say, "I understand, I'll go later."

"I will wait for you to wash up..."

"No need, just leave it at the door, I'll do it myself."

Hearing Hong Zhu's footsteps fading away, Xu Xinyue opened the door and was about to bend down to pick up the toiletries that fell on the ground, but someone was one step faster than her. Holding a basin in one hand and a tray in the other, he brought them back to the hall for her steadily without spilling any water.

Then he walked out of the palace.

When Xu Xinyue packed up and went out again, Qin Yuechuan followed closely behind her.

Although Hong Zhu did not specify where Prince Qi was summoning him, Xu Xinyue rushed to Fengluan Palace naturally like a horse that knew the way.

Prince Qi was indeed here, but the Queen was nowhere to be seen.

With many questions in her heart, Xu Xianyue bowed to Qin Liexing and asked, "Do you have any tasks for me today?"

Qin Liexing held a celadon lotus bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand, stirring the soup in the bowl slowly and methodically. He shook his head slightly, and his breath blew on the hot mist-like jade-silk lotus seeds in the spoon.

He just lowered his head and sipped from the bowl, as if he had not heard her question.

Xu Xinyue stopped talking, watching Qin Liexing slowly drink the soup in the bowl, placing the empty bowl back on the table beside him, and then she opened her lips and said slowly: "Give me one of Xu Xinyue's personal belongings."

"Ok?"

Xu Xinyue really didn't understand at this moment, and responded with genuine confusion.

He couldn't help but repeat: "Xu Xinyue's...personal belongings?"

What kind of personal belongings?

Is this another attempt to use her things to seduce some "important" person?

Close fitting? How to define close fitting?

Carry it with you, or...

Xu Xinyue couldn't help but hook the index fingers of her hands tightly together in her sleeves. She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Liexing, wanting to hear a clear and unambiguous explanation.

Qin Liexing seemed to be particularly patient today. He looked at Xu Xinyue's confused expression, curled his lips and added:

"Anything is fine, sachets, hairpins, jade pendants, or even other things..."

"As long as Prince Rong can recognize that this item belongs exclusively to his princess, it will be fine."

It was as if a gust of wind was whistling through Xu Xinyue's mind.

Finally, has it come to this?

She didn't want to give it, and she froze for a moment without giving Qin Liexing an immediate response. Qin Liexing narrowed his eyes dangerously at her, his eyes seemed to be piercing straight into her heart, and his voice was grim: "What's wrong? Hongyu?"

Seeing her like this, Qin Yuechuan knew that Xu Xinyue was probably resisting. Just as he was about to speak up for her, he heard Xu Xinyue come back to her senses and replied to Qin Liexing in a charming voice: "No, I just didn't react for a moment and didn't know what to hand over to the prince."

"The things of a girl are pretty much the same, they are all the same, which shop can't buy them. I wonder if King Rong will believe it just based on these things?"

She tried to dissuade Qin Liexing from this idea.

Qin Liexing glanced at her from head to toe:

"Do not believe?"

"Then change to someone you can trust."

Qin Liexing pushed himself up with his arms, stood up from the armchair, and walked to Xu Xinyue. His fingers were level with the top of her head, and he lingered on her cheeks and facial features from top to bottom, as if he was looking at a rare toy.

Although his smile was almost the same as that day on the painted boat, Xu Xinyue felt that there was a sinister aura about Qin Liexing, like a dead person, and the words he spoke were like those of a ghost from hell holding a trident, and every word was evil and bloody.

Xu Xinyue couldn't tell whether he was serious or joking. She listened to him:

"He should recognize these eyes, right?"

"He should recognize this nose, right?"

"He should be able to recognize these ears and these red lips, right?"

"At worst—"

When he finished reading, Qin Liexing lifted up Xu Xinyue's wrist with his index and middle fingers together through her sleeve. He lowered his eyes to "admire" her five slender fingers with pale pink nails that were exposed. He smiled softly in her ear and said:

"Or maybe he should recognize this hand."

Xu Xinyue was really a little overwhelmed. She had never expected that a question like "insignificant" would cause Qin Liexing to act like this.

He suppressed his panicked and disordered heartbeat, subconsciously pulled his hand back, and unconsciously took two steps back.

After only two steps, his back hit a wall of people. Xu Xinyue subconsciously turned her head slightly and saw that it was "Xuan San".

Qin Yuechuan lowered his eyes to look at her, and under the cover of Xu Xinyue's figure, he gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Then he looked at Qin Liexing coldly.

His movements were so subtle that Qin Liexing didn't notice them.

Qin Liexing found Xu Xinyue's frightened face interesting just by looking at it.

The most interesting moment for people is when they are afraid.

Thousands of people with thousands of faces endlessly satisfied Qin Liexing's shameless and despicable desire to control everything in his hands.

In this situation, Xu Xinyue suddenly thought of what happened in the teahouse, and felt that Qin Liexing might really be able to do it!

Normally he would restrain himself in front of the Queen, but now that he was alone, Qin Liexing's vicious nature was fully revealed.

Xu Xinyue forced a dry laugh and said, "Prince Qi is joking."

"Your Majesty, please tell me that my body is of great use. I am ordered not to damage it in the slightest."

"What the Queen Mother said is of course true. If you were obedient and followed my instructions, why would I have to do this?"

Xu Xinyue was in a dilemma. After careful consideration, she took out a hairpin from her head and handed it to Qin Liexing:

"Don't blame me, Prince Qi. I was ignorant of my proper conduct. I picked this out of Princess Rong's dressing box. Princess Rong's maid once said it was one of her favorites. I think Prince Rong must have seen it."

Qin Liexing took it and rubbed the hairpin with his thumb. Suddenly he felt a tiny groove. He looked closely and saw a tiny "moon" character engraved on it.

"Hongyu, you don't have to be afraid. As long as you obey, I won't do anything to you."

"The king is in a good mood today and will not mind your impoliteness."

Xu Xinyue looked at his expression and pondered for a long time before she bravely asked, "If my guess is correct, has Prince Qi received any news about Prince Rong? Or is he planning to use this item to lure Prince Rong back to the capital alone someday?"

"Leaving the Northern Frontier Army leaderless?"

Qin Liexing tilted his head and glanced at Xu Xinyue with interest:

"He still has some brains."

Xu Xinyue thought to herself that this was indeed the case.

There is almost no difference from the previous life in the dream.

She raised her head again and said seriously, "Forgive me for being so bold, but I think this method may not be the best."

Qin Liexing, who had already turned around, became interested after hearing what Xu Xinyue said. He paused and turned back, asking, "How do you say that?"

Xu Xinyue never forgot to take advantage of Hongyu's pretentiousness: "I just said it casually, Your Majesty, please listen to it."

"Without further ado."

Xu Xinyue said: "Your Highness wants Prince Rong to come back because he is worried that the Northern Frontier Army will hinder your plan, but I think that luring Princess Rong is only a temporary solution."

"Prince Rong's return alone is probably a death sentence, but the Northern Frontier Army is still a hidden danger. Even if Prince Rong surrenders his military token...if the Northern Frontier Army rebels, what difference will it make whether he has the military token or not..."

Qin Liexing played with the jade hairpin on his fingertips, not even looking at him, and said casually: "I still think this is a good idea. I have also thought of this. I have my own way to defeat his Northern Frontier Army and make him less fearful. By then, I will have the He Family Army to replace him."

Qin Yuechuan's brows turned cold.

Oh, does Qin Liexing want to repeat the same tricks he used in his last life? Do you really think he is dead!?

Xu Xinyue pursed her lips. Sure enough, the scene matched the dream. Qin Liexing was really planning to destroy the Northern Frontier Army. In the last life, she heard that it was a battle with Nanyuan, which was a combination of war and poison. She didn't know how it would be done in this life.

But that's fate.

Qin Liexing is an evil spirit who regards human life as worthless as ants and grass. He only thinks about the most direct and convenient way to gain ultimate benefits. How could he care about the lives of these soldiers?

But in this life, since she is here, I want to find a different way...

Whether it works or not, she wants to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinyue continued, "I just think that it is better to make use of it than to destroy it."

Qin Yuechuan looked at her and listened carefully.

Qin Liexing glanced sideways, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "Use?"

His eyes were full of contempt, as if asking, what use is there for "junk metal" that is not loyal to him?

Xu Xinyue said, "I think Prince Rong knows about the relationship between Princess Rong and the Duke of Zhenguo. Why not split up the Northern Frontier Army and incorporate it into the He Family Army and let the Duke of Zhenguo lead it? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Qin Liexing paused as he played with the jade hairpin and murmured, "Leave it to He Xuehuai?"

I have never thought about this.

Seeing that he was not angry, Xu Xinyue said more boldly: "Prince Rong may not know that the current Duke Zhenguo is your man. If this matter is handled by Wuming, or the Duke Zhenguo, the chances of success may be a little better. Because of his connection with Xu Xinyue, I think Prince Rong will probably agree."

"If you get half of the Northern Frontier Army, you will not only strengthen your He family army, but you won't have to sacrifice a single soldier to reduce Prince Rong's military strength. Even if Prince Rong is very capable, he can't cook without rice. With half the troops, it will be difficult for him to accomplish anything. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"This is much more cost-effective than using Princess Rong's hairpin and purse to exchange for Prince Rong's return to the capital."

"What's the point of exchanging lives? Exchanging for military strength is the best strategy. Your Majesty, am I right?"

Qin Liexing put the hairpin into his sleeve and stared at Xu Xinyue meaningfully for a long while. He pinched her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.

"Are you serious, Hongyu?"

Xu Xinyue was shocked:

Was she too eager to succeed? Did she arouse Qin Liexing's suspicion?

Qin Yuechuan was also tense all over, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Xu Xinyue clenched her palms and said softly in a charming and charming voice: "It is true. I am helping you to plan the Northern Frontier Army. It is all for Your Highness' consideration... I have seen and heard this for many years. This little thought is only one tenth or one twelfth of Your Highness's."

Qin Liexing was not vague at all. He did not think that Hongyu had no selfish motives in doing this. "What do you want?"

Xu Xianyue suddenly had an idea and continued, "Your Majesty is wise. To be honest, I just want to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to my body. That's all."
