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

"Xu Xianyue" pushed Qin Yuechuan away with disdain, straightened the wrinkles on her sleeves, and looked at him with a raised eyebrow in contempt: "You are so close, do you have any improper thoughts about your master?"

Qin Yuechuan knew very well that she was not the real "Xu Xinyue", but facing the beautiful face he had always admired, he could not harden his heart to make a harsh rebuttal.

He was not sure whether Xu Xinyue could hear it.

Qin Yuechuan did not answer but asked:

"Are you Hongyu?"

"Hongyu" borrowed Xu Xinyue's voice and replied nonchalantly, "Well, what else?"

Seeing that the person beside him was just a bodyguard, "Hongyu" didn't take it seriously. He took the fire starter from his hand, turned around and walked to the nearest ice bed.

The scene before him seemed commonplace. Facing so many cold bodies, he identified them one by one from left to right with an expressionless face.

She recognized him very quickly and the time passed very quickly. At first, her expression was calm and composed.

Qin Yuechuan followed her silently, paying attention to every change in "Hongyu's" expression without blinking.

As the bodies passed by one after another, Hongyu's expression began to become serious.

She couldn't help but whisper, "No... No... This one isn't either..."

Qin Yuechuan could feel that "Hongyu" was gradually getting anxious, and the speed of identification gradually slowed down, and he looked more carefully and seriously.

If she hadn't been hitting Xu Xinyue's face, Qin Yuechuan wouldn't have paid any attention to her even if she had cried out.

He watched her walk across rows of ice beds. Nearly half of the bodies had been screened out, and there were not many bodies of women of marriageable age left. Until this moment, Hongyu still hadn't found the body that belonged to him.

Hong Yu almost went crazy, muttering over and over again: "How could it be, how could it be!"

Qin Yuechuan couldn't help but ask: "What are the characteristics of your body?"

The life or death of "Hongyu" had nothing to do with him, but if her body could not be found, Xu Xinyue would still suffer, and Qin Yuechuan could not sit idly by.

Hong Yu was not happy and did not reply: "...about the same age as this body, with a small light red mole at the end of the left eyebrow."

Qin Yuechuan helped her screen it again from beginning to end, but still to no avail: "No."

Hongyu had checked the last body, but still hadn't found her own body. She couldn't help but tremble slightly, biting her knuckles with her teeth, unwilling to accept the reality before her.

"It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this, he promised me--"

Qin Yuechuan followed her closely, always on guard against her doing anything drastic that might harm Xu Xinyue's body.

Qin Yuechuan said, "If not, then it means your body is not here. We have limited time and we have to go back to the secret passage and return to the palace before dawn."

He wanted to grab Xu Xinyue's wrist and take Xu Xinyue's body away from here.

Hongyu dodged and slapped his hand away, roaring unwillingly: "If it's not here, it must be somewhere else. Let's go somewhere else! I want to find my body!"

Qin Yuechuan said in a low voice: "Are you trying to attract all the patrol guards to this place?"

"Since it's fruitless, let's leave this place first and work on it slowly in the future."

Since her body cannot be found, Xu Xinyue’s safety is naturally the most important thing at the moment.

Hong Yu laughed bitterly and said sarcastically: "Huh? Leave first? You say it so lightly!"

"It was hard and difficult to come to Prince Su's Mansion this time. You should know it better than me!"

Hong Yu pointed at Qin Yuechuan's forehead and ordered angrily: "If you care about your master, don't forget that I am the one who controls this body now. If you don't want her to be harmed in the slightest, then listen to my command and take me somewhere else!"

"I want to search every courtyard one by one!"

"Until you find my body!"

Hong Yu became more and more out of control. At the end, she roared uncontrollably again and obsessively asked Qin Yuechuan to take her to search every courtyard of Prince Su's Mansion.

There are 36 courtyards in the Prince Su's Mansion. Not to mention that it takes time to avoid the patrols, how can we search them all in one night? Qin Yuechuan was very unhappy. He looked at her face and endured it. He held her wrist tightly and said, "Now, leave! If there is a chance in the future, I will find your body for you."

Hong Yu stepped back and twisted his wrist, trying desperately to break free, and shouted in a low voice: "Let me go! I am your master!"

Qin Yuechuan didn't want to use force against Xu Xinyue, and was also worried that her noise would attract a siege. He had no choice but to grab the back of her neck and press hard on her sleeping point. In just a moment, the air suddenly became quiet.

Xu Xinyue seemed to be really asleep.

Qin Yuechuan stared at Xu Xinyue's sleeping face with an apologetic look on his face. He held her body and walked out of the house again, then loosely hung the door lock back on the door knocker.

Although it may not be possible to hide it for long, it should be no problem to do it under the cover of night before dawn.

By the time the palace guards discovered it, they had most likely already returned to the palace, and there would be no way to verify who had done it.

Qin Yuechuan planned to return the same way he came and leave Prince Su's Mansion through the secret passage.

However, they had only crossed four courtyards and were moving forward smoothly when suddenly they heard a burst of orderly footsteps and shouts from the front.

Qin Yuechuan held Xu Xinyue in his arms tighter with his arms and hid in the flowers nearby.

"Search carefully and don't miss any corner!" a rough voice shouted.

The chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer, and this time there was also a red flame that was like stars, densely connected into a sea, and was spreading over a large area in layers towards the direction where they were hiding.

Qin Yuechuan held his breath and lowered his body, hiding Xu Xinyue's face and turning it inward, leaning against his chest. He could feel the breath of those people almost above his head, getting closer and closer.

Thinking that he could not escape the battle today, Qin Yuechuan still supported Xu Xinyue steadily with one arm, and grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, ready to break out of the encirclement at any time if he was accidentally discovered.

But for some reason, when they were about to approach this side, the soldiers suddenly retreated, as if attracted by the commotion in the distance, and turned around to chase to the side.

The continuous flames also followed away.

"Over there! Gather everyone and follow me!"

A large number of patrolling guards holding torches followed the sound, but the road ahead was empty. Ever since the neighing of the cat in the ninth courtyard, Qin Yuechuan had a vague guess in his mind, and now it has been confirmed that there are others helping in secret.

Qin Yuechuan had no time to think about who helped him. This was a rare opportunity, so he should take Xu Xinyue and leave here as soon as possible.

Most of the palace soldiers had been attracted there, so he didn't need to stop at any courtyard and could go straight to the Biwu Courtyard.

This time it took only half an hour. Qin Yuechuan returned to the wellhead, protected Xu Xinyue and jumped down the secret passage, and rushed to the palace without stopping.

Finally, I returned to Qingling Temple before dawn.

When Xu Xinyue woke up, she found herself lying on the couch, with a tender white arm tightly clasped around her waist. She lowered her eyes and saw a whorled black hair resting against her chin, and she was snoring loudly, sleeping soundly.

Who else could it be but Qin Lingruo?

Xu Xinyue gently rubbed the top of Qin Lingruo's head, carefully moved her head to the soft pillow, and slowly, bit by bit, opened her arms and wanted to get up from the bed, but unexpectedly, the subtle movement caused Qin Lingruo to wrap her arms tighter, and she smacked her lips and muttered:

"...Yueyue...don't go..."

Xu Xianyue felt warm in her heart, leaned forward and agreed softly:

"I won't leave. Ling'er, can you let go first?"

Qin Lingruo opened her sleepy eyes when she heard the voice, and saw Xu Xinyue looking at her with a smile.

Qin Lingruo stood up suddenly, touched her cheek, and probed her forehead. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief: "When your bodyguard brought you back last night, you were already asleep. I was worried that something had happened to you."

Xu Xinyue smiled and replied: "What can I do?"
