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

"Well, Sister Xi is right. If that's the case, then Sister Yue should go. Well, it's getting late, and I'm tired too. You guys should go back."

As if she didn't want to listen to their argument any longer, which gave her a headache, the old lady held her forehead with her hand and waved her hand to send everyone away.

Everyone returned to their respective courtyards. Xu Qingyun and Xu Ruoyu just glanced at Xu Xinyue, and then glanced at Xu Baiyu mockingly.

The first wife and the second wife don't have much interaction, and they knew that their hope of going was slim. Xu Baiyu was used to pretending, and they felt it was worth it as long as they could make Xu Baiyu upset. Today, the two sisters felt it was even more worth it.

Xu Baiyu just felt that everyone was picking on her today. It was fine just with those two people, but now Xu Mingxi was also making her unhappy.

Even Xu Xinyue, who usually didn't pay attention to him, began to dislike him. She felt that there was really no one in the courtyard who pleased her.

It’s just…what happened to Xu Mingxi recently…I really can’t accept it. The person who has been obedient for so long suddenly seems to have come to his senses…this is not good.

However, seeing Xu Mingxi giving her a gentle and harmless smile, she was unwilling to lose this chess piece. Perhaps this was really a sudden idea for her, as she said, not wanting any rift between the sisters?

No matter what, she had to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so she had to think of other ways.

Xu Xinyue was still being forced to accept the reality in a daze. God knows she was really not interested in this kind of banquet!

But Xu Mingxi came up to her and said to her in a friendly manner: "Sister Yue, if you come to the banquet this time, you can come to me if you have any questions..."

Xu Xinyue didn't hear much of the chattering. She just looked at Xu Mingxi with an expression as if she was at a loss for words and didn't know where to start.

She woke up recently, she must have taken the wrong medicine...

The sudden show of affection left her at a loss as to what to do.

Now that things have come to this, all we have to do is prepare to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

"Jin'er, help me prepare some things...I might not be able to sleep until very late tonight."

Although Jin'er didn't understand, she still followed Xu Mingxi's instructions.

The next day, Xu Mingxi dressed up as a man and quietly slipped out of the back door of the Xu Mansion.

We hired a carriage and arrived at our destination in a cup of tea.

At the gate of Prince Rong’s Mansion.

After two lifetimes, she finally stood in front of the Rong Prince's Mansion again. She suppressed her excitement and walked forward quickly, but was ruthlessly stopped by the soldiers at the gate: "The Rong Prince's Mansion is a restricted area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Please tell me, I am Xu Mingxi, the second young lady of the Xu family."

"You are not allowed to enter without a visiting card. Please go back, Miss Xu Er."

"I'm Xu Mingxi. The prince often brought me here before... Please tell him that the prince will see me." Xu Mingxi felt a little anxious.

The current situation is truly unexpected.

For two lifetimes, she could enter and leave the Rong Palace freely. Not to mention that the palace soldiers dared not stop her. Every time she went out, as long as she left the Xu Palace, no matter whether her destination was here or not, someone in the Rong Palace would receive the news and wait at the door early to welcome her in. Even if she went out shopping and did not come here, there would still be someone waiting for her at the door of the Rong Palace until she returned to the Xu Palace.

How come now, even to enter, one has to present a visiting card like any other ordinary visitor? !

Thinking about what I was going to talk to him about today, I couldn't help but feel a little irritated: "Then could you please tell the butler Zhang Bo that I have something to ask him?"

The soldiers guarding the palace still looked straight ahead. One of them had already gone inside to pass the message, while the long spear in the other's hand was still ruthlessly placed in front of her.

Xu Mingxi was furious. She had never been treated like this before since she came here!

After waiting for about an incense stick of time, the butler Zhang Bo came out of the mansion. Seeing Xu Mingxi, he frowned slightly, but still remained polite and bowed: "Second Miss Xu, the prince is busy with official business today and will not see any outsiders. Please go back."

Xu Mingxi's face was full of disbelief, and he asked in astonishment: "Uncle Zhang, didn't you tell Ah... Prince Rong that it was me who wanted to see him? Why wouldn't he see me?!"

Zhang Bo sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He still answered respectfully: "Yes, the prince knows it is you, and asked me to report it."

The implication is that the prince knows and does not want to see you.

"How could this be..." Xu Mingxi was stunned and muttered to himself.

Zhang Bo quietly observed her expression and secretly complained:

"I invited you to come every day with good food and drinks, but you didn't come. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Now the prince has come to his senses. Alas, now you are no different from others."

"Miss Xu, if you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave. If Miss Xu asks to see the prince next time, please submit your visiting card three days in advance according to the rules."

After saying that, Xu Mingxi raised her leg and was about to go back inside. She was unwilling to give up. If she gave up this opportunity, would she really have to wait for three days? She grabbed Zhang Bo's arm and said urgently:

"I really have something important to discuss with Prince Rong. I'll leave right away!" He whispered to Zhang Bo, "It concerns Prince Rong's safety."

Zhang Bo looked shocked, but only for a moment. He quickly returned to normal and considered the credibility of her words.

"You just need to report to the prince. It's up to the prince to decide whether to see him or not."

After hearing this, Uncle Zhang went inside and another stick of incense passed.

"Miss Xu, please."

After all, she had been Princess Rong for two years in her previous life, so she was very familiar with the paths in the palace. Following Uncle Zhang's lead, she saw that this path did not lead to the inner room or the study...

It's the front hall?

The front hall has always been a place for receiving guests, and he had met her before in the more private study.

At this moment, Qin Yuechuan was sitting on his hands, his eyes were calm and serious, the gentle smile he had shown to her before was gone, and his whole body exuded a cold and solemn aura.

He had never shown her such an expression before, even when they first met. When she looked into his eyes, his eyes were filled with love for her.

As time went by, she even forgot that he was known as the "cold-faced killer" by everyone.

The difference he felt towards her before now seemed to have completely disappeared, and she seemed to be no different from an ordinary person to him!

Realizing this problem, Xu Mingxi felt a sense of panic in her heart. No, she didn't want to. She didn't want him to treat her like an ordinary person.

Although she looked dazed on the surface, her heart was already in turmoil.

"Miss Xu said she had something to tell me, and it concerns the safety of my Prince Rong's mansion. I hope Miss Xu will tell me the truth. If it is true, I will reward her handsomely. If she is lying to me, don't blame me for being merciless."

Qin Yuechuan was the first to speak up and break the situation.

Xu Mingxi suddenly came back to his senses. He was stunned by his ruthless and cold opening remarks. It took him a long time to find his voice. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:

"Prince Rong, do you know that someone is planning to harm you at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in a few days? And ruin your reputation?"

She knew about the plan of Qin Zhaolie and Xu Baiyu. In her previous life, she was deceived and was one of the participants, which led to him falling into the trap. The emperor was furious and took away his position as the commander of the Imperial City Army and replaced him with Qin Zhaolie. He also confined him to the palace for three months and was not allowed to attend court without hearing orders.

In her previous life, she was confused. This time, as long as she and he joined forces, this situation would not happen, and their relationship would be eased. Even reconciled, he would not mention breaking off the engagement again...

A cold and indifferent question shattered the fantasy that she had not yet completed.

"Miss Xu, why do you think I will believe you? Where is the evidence?"

"What... evidence? Prince Qi's intentions towards you are obvious. He will not miss this good opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Banquet, and besides..."

Besides, I know all his plans.

"Besides what? As you said, everyone knows that Prince Qi and I are in opposition, and there is no need for you, Miss Xu, to tell me specifically. And how did Miss Xu know Prince Qi's plan for the next few days?" He stood up from his seat, one step at a time, slowly and heavily, like the beat of a drum beating on her heart, and moved in front of her, stood still, looking down at her and meeting her eyes.

He pressed the question forcefully: "How do you know what his plan is?"

Xu Mingxi's eyes widened, and under his cold and stern gaze, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Is this... His Royal Highness Prince Rong in the eyes of others?

Cold, ruthless, and imposing.

When those eyes were emotionless, they were like a frosty blade that captured people's hearts.

She had a letter sent by Prince Qi, but she couldn't take it out. If she showed it to him, he would know that she had been pretending to be nice to him all along. She couldn't, she couldn't let him know!
