Fortunately, although He Xuehuai and Yu Xingcao never expressed it openly, they fully supported Qin Yuechuan in this matter.

Yu Xingcao's disciples naturally formed a united front with their teacher. Some of them even wrote a manifesto to refute the sinister intentions of those who practiced "evil magic" and fully supported its eradication.

Qin Yuechuan knew that his disciples would never do such a thing without Yu Xingcao's instructions.

Qin Yuechuan said: "Master Yu, thank you very much for this."

Yu Xingcao waved his hand and said, "This article was not written by me. I cannot bear even a word of thanks from the Prince Regent."

"This article was written by my new student. I have read it. The meaning is concise and every word is precious. I have not changed a single word of it."

Qin Yuechuan seemed to have sensed something and asked unconsciously, "Is this person's surname Qi?"

Yu Xingcao was surprised: "Does the prince recognize him?"

Qin Yuechuan thought to himself that it was indeed the case, and said casually: "We have met a few times, so we are old acquaintances."

Yu Xingcao looked as if he had realized what was going on: "No wonder."

She added: "Now that I, the Northern Xuan Empress, am in power, many discussions are inevitable. Qi Mobai is rare in that he is impartial."

"I once said frankly that although the current Majesty is a woman, she is a brave and courageous woman. She is just immature at the moment, but her achievements in the future will surely not be inferior to those of the past kings."

He then chuckled, "I'm not taking this opportunity to flatter you. He has also praised the princess in the same way before."

Qin Yuechuan remained calm and indifferent.

He actually believed this.

"This prince knows. If there is a chance in the future, I will thank you in person."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. How can he be worthy of your thanks now?"

Qin Yuechuan only said in his heart: I can't afford it now, but I may not be able to afford it in the future.

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed. The summer heat is about to end and autumn is gradually approaching.

The honeysuckle flowers in Luanfengyuan have bloomed and withered, and I don’t know how many batches have been replaced. Now they are still rich and lush, with a refreshing fragrance.

Qin Yuechuan placed Xu Xianyue on a rattan chair shaded by vines, sat beside her, and felt the delicate fragrance of the flowers falling on his shoulders. He said to her:

"Summer will soon be over. If Yueyue doesn't wake up, we will have to wait until next year to see the flowers bloom again."

He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I collected some flower pieces and made them into dry tea. I can taste the fragrance of flowers even in winter."

Qin Yuechuan picked up a honeysuckle flower that fell into his palm and said softly, "Yueyue, do you know what day it is today?"

No one responded, so Qin Yuechuan answered quietly, "Today is the seventh day of August."

"It was last year, the day I started over again."

"It was around this time that I met Yueyue who was injured on my way down the mountain."

Qin Yuechuan seemed to be reminiscing: "At first, I wondered why a fairy-like girl would appear in such a desolate mountain."

"Could it be as the legends say, that the Azure Sky Fairy has fallen into the mortal world?"

"I helped Yueyue get the trap and sent Yueyue back to the Xu Mansion."

"Now that I think about it, the 'Divine Doctor Xue' who treated me later also seemed to have some difficulty walking. I had never associated such a big flaw with it..."

Qin Yuechuan murmured: "I am too stupid..."

Qin Yuechuan smiled bitterly, holding Xu Xinyue's five fingers, and said with a sense of nostalgia: "Now, if I ask a question like last year - may I ask the lady's name, Yueyue will not be able to answer me..."

The breeze was blowing, the shadows of leaves were swaying, and sparse golden and silver lightly danced and scattered all over the two people.

A faint voice slowly responded:

"At that time, I said that I was the Minister of War Xu Fu - Xu Xianyue."

Qin Yuechuan was stunned, as if he was not sure whether what he heard now was the false auditory hallucination that often appeared recently.

He sat there motionless until he felt the familiar, real warm palm slowly caressing his cheek again, caressing the dark blue cloth covering his eyes, and then he asked tremblingly: "...Yueyue?"

Xu Xinyue responded softly and gently, her fingers moving non-stop, tracing his eyebrows and eyes through the cloth over and over again.

Xu Xinyue slowly stood up, untied his cloth belt with her backhand, held his cheeks with both hands, looked closely at his empty eyes, and said something as if she was whispering or sighing:

"Qin Yuechuan, you're not listening again..."

Qin Yuechuan stretched out his hand to hold her waist, and subconsciously wanted to explain: "Yueyue, I'm not..."

Xu Xinyue did not give him a chance to refute. She continued to hold his face and closed her eyes, gently returning to him all the tenderness that she had felt thousands of times in her sleep.

The lips and teeth linger, and the entanglement is wiped away.

Qing Yuechuan gradually leaned over, supporting the back of Xu Xinyue's head with his palms until Xu Xinyue lay on her back on the rattan chair again.

From being passive and accepting in disbelief at the beginning, to later taking the initiative, he became more and more crazy and passionate, as if he was seeking the long-awaited nectar, and once he got a taste of it, he drank it without stopping and wantonly.

This kind of soul-stirring sweet response, whether in midnight dreams or in the morning glow, no matter how many times you have experienced it, it is not as real as the warmth and sweetness that penetrates your heart and lungs and makes you numb in your bones.

Qin Yuechuan was reluctant to let go, but considering that Xu Xianyue had just woken up, he had to force himself to stop his desire to "demand" further in time.

The two of them touched their foreheads together and breathed slowly and quietly.

"Yueyue...am I dreaming?"

"Well... I was dreaming. I'll leave when I wake up."

Qin Yuechuan couldn't help laughing at the familiar teasing words, and said with a raised lip: "If this is a dream, I hope this dream will last longer, longer..."

Xu Xinyue put her arm around his waist: "Idiot..."

"Well, whatever Yueyue says is what it is."
