Qin Yuechuan was speechless. He looked at her pretty face and softened his voice unconsciously: "I didn't go anywhere. I have something important to do...I need to leave the house."

"Oh..." He nodded gently and asked gently, "Then... could the prince take me with him?"

The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she smiled faintly, and she earnestly sought Qin Yuechuan's opinion.

Faced with such a beautiful, gentle and smiling Xu Xinyue, if it were the future, Qin Yuechuan would definitely not be able to bear to refuse.

However, today's trip was indeed a little unusual. He was really afraid that Xu Xinyue would be frightened by such a dirty place.

Therefore, I could only grit my teeth and refuse solemnly: "No."

Unexpectedly, Xu Xinyue did not insist any further.

She just nodded, walked to the side and made way: "Then please do as you please, Your Majesty."

There was no quarrel or fuss, and she never pestered him. She just sent him out of the house gently and peacefully.

Xu Xinyue sent Qin Yuechuan to the carriage and did not return home immediately.

Qin Yuechuan lifted the bamboo curtain of the carriage window with one hand and stared at her: "Do you want to go somewhere else today?"

Xu Xinyue replied obediently: "Yes, I have to leave the house today as well."

"Where to go?"

"I think the prince and I are on different paths."

"I will send someone to accompany you..."

"Does the prince want to monitor me?"

Qin Yuechuan frowned and pursed his thin lips. Rather than monitoring her, he wanted to protect her.

After a pause, he said, "That's not the case."

Xu Xinyue smiled and said, "Your Highness once allowed me to act freely, so I don't think that will happen. Your Highness, don't worry. I will be fine."

After saying that, she waved goodbye to him and stood on tiptoe to draw the bamboo curtain for him.

He took the initiative to say to Qingyang, who was sitting on the shaft of the cart and driving it, "Qingyang, you guys go."

Qingyang suppressed his inner bitterness and asked, "Prince?"

He knew that he had messed up today and would suffer the consequences when he returned.

But he still didn't understand:

Which step went wrong that allowed Miss Xu to see the flaw?

What happened to Miss Xu this morning?

Qin Yuechuan replied in a low voice from inside the carriage: "Let's go."

As long as she doesn't go to the fighting arena today, she can go anywhere.

Qingyang cracked the whip, raising a cloud of dust, and drove away.

After driving for about half a minute, Qin Yuechuan, who had his eyes closed in the car, clearly felt that the car was slowing down a bit, and asked Qingyang in a deep voice:

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty... there is someone following behind..."

"Get rid of it."

Qingyang replied hesitantly:

"Yes... Miss Xu... I don't know how long she followed me... I saw her leave..."

Xu Xinyue made preparations for both situations. She tampered with the wheels of Qin Yuechuan's carriage, leaving traces along the way. She only needed to follow the traces to go to the wild fighting field with him.

I had inquired about it before, and I knew that the wild fighting arena was probably in the west of the city, but few people knew its exact location.

Looking at the traces in front of her, Xu Xinyue walked forward quickly, lifting her skirt.

She was thinking about whether to hire a carriage to follow her when they reached a crowded downtown area, when a pair of black brocade boots suddenly appeared in front of her.

Xu Xinyue looked up.

Qin Yuechuan frowned, his eyes were dark and cold, with a hint of anger in his eyes:

"Don't you mean that we are not going the same way?"

Xu Xinyue knew she was in the wrong, so she said nothing. She just stared at him with her watery eyes. There was no trace of aggression in her clear eyes.

"Are you following me? Do you know what will happen to you if I treat you as an assassin?"

Qin Yuechuan deliberately emphasized his tone and used sharp words, hoping that she would give up.

Unexpectedly, this time Xu Xianyue actually nodded seriously and replied softly: "Yes."

Qin Yuechuan felt like he was punching cotton. If she refuted and argued with him, he would still have a reason to send her back to the mansion.

But she was so well-behaved now that he was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do with her.

He added a little more emphasis: "Now that I have discovered you, do you still want to follow me?"

Xu Xinyue didn't feel guilty at all, she still looked at him calmly and nodded in agreement.

Qin Yuechuan felt depressed again.

The two of them faced each other in silence for a moment.

Qin Yuechuan looked at Xu Xianyue in front of him, as if he was looking at a young animal with clear eyes blinking. Qiaoqiao sat in front of him obediently, raising his front paws in a begging gesture.

Finally he swallowed the lump in his throat, sighed, and closed his eyes in resignation:

"Come with me to the carriage."

Xu Xianyue's eyes lit up and she responded happily, "Yeah!"

She walked for a long time and her steps were unsteady, her body swaying slightly.

Qin Yuechuan glanced at her sideways, picked her up and carried her sideways, then leaped lightly and brought her into the carriage steadily.

Xu Xinyue had no shame on her face and accepted his care without any hesitation.

He had called her Yueyue before, and it wouldn't hurt to be hugged. She thought to herself.

The carriage was back on the road, and Xu Xinyue's eyes seemed to be looking up, down, left, right, the door curtain, and out the window at random, but she was not looking at Qin Yuechuan.

Qin Yuechuan had been staring at her without blinking since he sat down. Seeing her like this, he laughed in anger.

What? Are you feeling a little guilty now?

"When did you find out?" Qin Yuechuan realized that the most inappropriate tactic when dealing with her was the roundabout tactic, so he asked directly.

Xu Xinyue replied calmly: "On the day Qingyang came to find me."

Qin Yuechuan asked again: "Which sentence did you find it from?"

Xu Xinyue glanced at Qingyang through the car curtain and said mercilessly: "The first sentence."

"puff!"

Qingyang, who was always keeping his ears open to pay attention to the movements in the carriage, was bleeding profusely in his heart.

Qin Yuechuan's throat felt blocked again.

He glanced fiercely at Qingyang's figure outside the curtain and said in a low voice:

"useless."

Qingyang was speechless.

Qin Yuechuan only realized at this moment that he seemed to have "disdained" Xu Xinyue.

When she was about to get off the carriage, seeing that she was dressed as a woman and was about to follow him to that place, Qin Yuechuan took out a cloak and a mask from the compartment under the desk.

This should be Qin Yuechuan's cloak.

Without saying a word, he put the black cloak on Xu Xinyue, tied the brocade belt for her, and put the hood on her head.

Even though Xu Xinyue was considered tall among women, when she wore this cloak, the low hem still had a lot of fabric hanging on the ground.

The mask also covered most of his face.

After dressing up like this, he nodded with a little satisfaction.

Qin Yuechuan himself also put on a mask.

The entrance to the fighting arena was through a backyard gate that couldn’t be more ordinary.

The tattered gate couldn't even block the doorway tightly.

Xu Xinyue clicked her tongue. No wonder she had been asking around for a long time but no one really knew where the wild fighting arena was.

A middle-aged man dressed as a servant came to meet them.

After exchanging secret codes with Qin Yuechuan and handing over a token, he led the three people into the courtyard.

The furnishings in the courtyard were ordinary, even extremely simple and desolate. The waist-high weeds and wild flowers seemed to have been unattended for years, growing wildly and luxuriantly in the cracks between bricks and stones and between dry ponds and wells.

Only a barely passable path was hastily cleared.

The path was narrow and two people could not walk side by side. Considering Xu Xinyue, Qin Yuechuan half turned sideways, clasped her wrist tightly with his left hand, led her, and walked forward steadily and slowly.

Because they entered from the back door, they went from the third courtyard through the second courtyard and arrived at the patio of the first courtyard. The middle-aged man who led the way stopped.
