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

Xu Xinyue thought that she would have to go through another round of arguments when she came to Fengluan Palace. She had already prepared to defend herself and dispel the Queen's doubts.

Unexpectedly, this time when I stepped into Fengluan Palace, the atmosphere was not as gloomy as before.

The queen, who usually had a cold face towards her, showed a rare bit of gentleness towards her today. Her eyes were slightly curved, her red lips were slightly raised, and an indescribable dignified and gentle aura emanated from her.

Xu Xinyue just felt weird. Where did the sun come from today?

The first reaction is that there must be something wrong when something is abnormal.

What is the Queen planning again?

In an instant, hundreds of thoughts flooded into Xu Xinyue's mind, and she went through all the possible plans of the Queen in her mind.

"Hongyu, I have seen all your hard work. You have worked hard these days."

Although those were clearly sweet words, looking at that "kind" smiling face, Xu Xinyue felt the hairs all over her body stand up.

It would be better to interrogate her harshly. This kind of smiling but dagger-hiding soft knife was enough for her to endure from Qin Liexing. If the queen also followed his example, Xu Xinyue thought that she would have to eat half less in the future.

too disgusting.

Although he was extremely conflicted, he still responded respectfully on the surface without leaving any trace: "Whatever the Queen said, it is what I have to do."

The queen stood up, folded her hands in front of her abdomen, still maintaining a kind and dignified face, walked towards her slowly, and gently took Xu Xinyue's hand: "From now on, you don't have to call yourself a subordinate to me, just be like an ordinary princess, okay?"

Xu Xinyue was confused and looked at the queen in front of her. She was a little confused by her words: What does "like an ordinary princess" mean?

"In the past, I was too harsh on you. During the time you were the princess, I never gave you any reward. It was my negligence. Come here——"

Dozens of palace maids filed in and stopped steadily in front of Xu Xinyue.

The Queen took her hand and walked her through the whole process, showing her everything in person:

"This is the pearl of the East China Sea. It's the size of a baby's fist. Usually, only the imperial concubine in the palace has the opportunity to get a hu of it."

"This is jadeite from the Western Regions. It's rare to see jadeite this clear and transparent."

The queen's fingers picked up a string of jade sandalwood beads, each of which was crystal clear and fragrant. She wrapped them around Xu Xianyue's fair wrist and couldn't stop praising her: "Look at this wrist, as white as a tender lotus root. It really looks good on anything."

Pearl and jade hairpins, brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes were all displayed in front of her. The queen came very close to her, seducing her in a feminine and seductive way, leaning close to her ear and whispering warmly: "As long as you are willing to continue to be Princess Rong, all of these will be yours. In the future, you will have even more than you have now."

"Compared to the daily life of going to and fro in brothels, reading people's faces, welcoming and seeing off guests, and living in fear of losing your job, how can it compare to the luxury we have now."

The queen casually picked up a golden hairpin and inserted it into Xu Xinyue's bun: "Hongyu, what do you think?"

Xu Xinyue understood the Queen's hidden meaning:

Don’t always think about returning to your original body. Isn’t it good to be content with the status quo and be a Princess Rong with a life of luxury?

Regardless of whether the truth of last night is related to "Hongyu", perhaps the Queen doesn't care at all. What she wants is to persuade and bribe Hongyu to stay in her body forever, replace her identity, and work for her all her life.

Xu Xinyue was silent.

What happened last night, regardless of whether she was on the Queen's list of suspects, today's incident reflected the Queen's attitude and was also a warning to "Hongyu".

If there is something wrong, correct it; if there is nothing wrong, try to improve yourself; use both kindness and severity; that’s all.

In other words, Princess Rong is most useful only when she is by Prince Rong's side. Can the Queen's remarks today be understood as the effect of what she and Qin Liexing said that day?

Qin Liexing was tempted by her proposal.

And he hoped that through her, he would not only kill Qin Yuechuan. Before that, Qin Liexing was eager for more and wanted Qin Yuechuan to offer more on his own initiative.

While he was thinking, the Queen's voice floated into his ears again. Her voice was soft, but it seemed to be very powerful. She made a promise that she thought no woman in the world could resist: "If you help Prince Qi, even if Prince Rong dies, you may have a chance to obtain a position of honor like me with this body. Even if it is not the Queen, at least the position of a Princess."

"To have endless luxury, as a woman, there is no greater honor in life than this."

Xu Xinyue simply wanted to rip open the queen's head and see what messed up thoughts were inside.

If Qin Liexing really gained power, how could she, who was once the Princess of Rong, have the chance to appear before him?

Most likely it's a dead end.

In other words, even if it is really as the Queen said, a helpless "princess" like her would probably be sent to another country one day, and then used by Qin Liexing again to squeeze out the last bit of surplus value.

Only those who have taken the wrong medicine would believe this kind of nonsense, right?

Do you think she is a fool?

Xu Xinyue forced a smile and replied stiffly, "Well, what the Queen said... I will think about it carefully."

The queen patted her wrist and said, "That's right. Although we are women, we should strive for a good future for ourselves, right?"

Xu Xinyue lowered her head and responded, "Your Majesty, what the Queen said is absolutely right."

Fighting for a better future is true, but it is not fighting for death...

The Queen said to her with a smile: "Take all these things back today. I am waiting for your good news."

Xu Xinyue had no choice but to lead dozens of palace maids and march back to Yanfang Palace in a grand procession.

Xu Xinyue walked in front with her head down and looked up unintentionally. She saw Xuan San and Qin Lingruo striding out from the gate of Qingling Palace in a hurry, as if they had something urgent to do.

"Ling'er."

Hearing the call, Qin Yuechuan looked up suddenly, and seeing it was Xu Xinyue, he quickly walked up to her: "Princess..." He wanted to say something, but seeing the servants behind him, he had to stop.

Qin Lingruo came forward and saw that she was in good condition. She asked the same question that Qin Yuechuan had not said: "Did the Queen embarrass you?"

Xu Xinyue shook her head and ordered the maid to deliver the tray to Yanfang Palace first. Then she said, "It's a long story. Anyway, she didn't hurt me, and she didn't mention what happened last night."

"That's good, that's good, nothing's wrong."

Xu Xinyue noticed Xuan San's eye signal, glanced outside the hall, and said to Qin Lingruo: "Nothing happened this time, Ling'er, don't worry. There are still some trivial matters to deal with in Yanfang Hall, so I need to go back first."

Qin Lingruo responded happily: "Yeah, then you go back first!"

Only then did Xu Xinyue leave Qingling Hall with Qin Yuechuan.

Qin Yuechuan did not take her back to Yanfang Palace immediately.

After walking and stopping for a while, Xu Xianyue saw a familiar figure standing at a sparsely populated area on the palace wall. She took a closer look and was immediately delighted. She trotted forward and eagerly called out, "Uncle."

He Xuehuai turned around when he heard the voice, and stepped forward to take a good look at her: "Are you used to the palace? Are you having any difficulties?"

Xu Xinyue responded cheerfully: "Everything is fine, there is no difficulty."

He Xuehuai saw that she was trying to hide something, and his face darkened: "If there was no difficulty, why did you break into Prince Su's mansion last night?"
