I am the champion of palace intrigue, and even the proud prince bows his head in submission.

Chapter 370 Informing You of Rebirth

His gaze was fixed on Qin Jiuwei, and he asked with concern.

"And why are you suddenly asking me to return to the capital? Is something urgent happening?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuwei pursed her lips tightly.

Meanwhile, the children were also watching her with longing eyes.

Qin Jiu sighed slightly, her gaze filled with a complex emotion.

"There is something I haven't told you yet."

Then, in a gentle voice, she gave a general account of the whole incident.

Many painful details have been omitted, and only the key points have been clearly stated.

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

The children were all shocked after hearing this, and looked at each other in disbelief.

Xie Yanli was also stunned and stood there.

royal palace.

Eunuch Li reported softly, "The young master has already returned to the capital."

"So fast?"

Eunuch Li cautiously added, "I heard that the young master was ambushed on the road and injured his arm."

"He's injured? Who did this?" Gao Xian's brows furrowed sharply.

He did indeed consider killing Xie Yanli.

But in the end, I couldn't bring myself to do it...

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried into the hall. "Your Majesty, Prince Xie requests an audience."

Gao Xian was taken aback, his gaze deep and complex.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Let him in."

Xie Yanli stepped into the hall, and Gao Xian's gaze unconsciously fell on his arm.

The moment she looked up again, her gaze met Xie Yanli's.

His eyes remained as calm and sharp as ever.

Gao Xian's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

He could tell that Xie Yanli already knew everything.

He learned about his relationship with Qin Jiuwei in their previous life.

I also learned about what he had been doing during this period.

Gao Xian's expression was complicated, and countless words lingered on his lips for a long time before he finally said in a low voice, "Those people were not sent by me."

Xie Yanli's gaze was calm and steady. "Your Majesty knows that those men in black have tattoos, which are the mark of the Great Liang."

He paused after he finished speaking.

"But Your Majesty, do you want to kill me?"

The hall fell silent instantly.

After a long while, Gao Xian finally met his gaze and said directly, "I've thought about it."

"But...I can't bring myself to do it."

Gao Xian looked at Xie Yanli, his gaze suddenly becoming profound.

Suddenly, many things from long ago came to mind.

“I have known you since I was five years old. That was the first time you accompanied the Marquis into the palace. All the children of the noble families in the palace were trying to curry favor with me, but you stood straight and didn’t say a word.”

“When I was six years old, I was practicing swordsmanship in the Imperial Garden when I accidentally fell off the artificial hill. Everyone else froze and dared not move, but you were the quickest to react and helped me down.”

“When I was twelve, I was practicing horseback riding for the first time and almost got thrown off. It was you who pulled me back from the reins. That time, I was unconscious for a whole day, and when I woke up, the first person I saw who was my age was you. You are my only friend.”

Gao Xian's gaze gradually darkened, and his voice became low and hoarse.

"I have also thought that if we weren't in the relationship of emperor and subject, perhaps we could be like ordinary brothers..."

He didn't continue speaking.

Too many things have happened between them, making it impossible for things to be the same as before.

He thought Xie Yanli was the same.

"So, what are His Majesty's plans for dealing with us?"

Following Gao Xian's words, Xie Yanli naturally recalled those events as well.

But none of these things are as important as Qin Jiuwei.

However, like Gao Xian, he would not commit regicide.

Gao Xian closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he simply said in a low voice, "The two of you must never appear before me together again."

The Marquis's Residence, Qinglan Courtyard.

Qin Jiuwei told the children and Xie Yanli about her rebirth.

I was still shocked after hearing it.

But then came a host of unanswered questions.

"Does being reborn mean living again? Then why can't other people be reborn? Is it only my mother who can be reborn?"

"Is being reborn fun? Is it incredibly powerful?"

Xie Jue asked one question after another.

Qin Jiuwei patiently answered each question one by one.

Xie Jing stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought. "So, rebirth means experiencing these things once before, and then returning to a certain moment from the past?"

No wonder my mother could predict so many things in advance.

Now, many of his previous doubts have finally been answered.

"Young Master," a maidservant reported respectfully.

Xie Yanli appeared at the door, and Qin Jiuwei almost immediately got up to greet him. Her gaze swept over his face and then quickly fell on his shoulders and arms, carefully checking for any wounds.

After confirming that there was no injury, I finally felt relieved.

night.

Only Qin Jiuwei and Xie Yanli were in the room; the children had all been taken down to sleep.

At this moment, Qin Jiuwei told Xie Yanli all the details from her previous life that she couldn't tell the children.

The intrigues and power struggles in the imperial harem, her careful attempts to please others, her arduous and cautious steps, and that cup of poisoned wine.

Xie Yanli held her close and listened quietly.

The initial calmness in his eyes was gradually replaced by intense emotions.

Upon hearing the word "poisoned wine," Xie Yanli clenched his fists immediately, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

Xie Yanli's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"Did it hurt a lot after drinking the poisoned wine?"

A tear glistened in Qin Jiuwei's eyes. She smiled faintly and said softly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xie Yanli reached out and grasped her fingertips; the warmth of his palm was comforting.

"We should have met sooner."

"It's not too late."

Xie Yanli slowly lowered his head, his lips gently landing on Qin Jiuwei's forehead, lingering for a moment.

He then pulled her into his arms even tighter.

Fortunately, she was reborn.

Fortunately, they met again.

Fortunately, he has a long life ahead of him, and he can spend his whole life loving her.
