After nightfall, a curfew was imposed throughout the capital.
Two people dressed as maids were being questioned by palace guards at the entrance of the palace.
Since Xia Yue is currently under house arrest, Xiao Mei would naturally be noticed if she brought a strange man into the palace. This is mainly because very few men are allowed to enter the palace, and most of the guards know each other.
So, out of despicable helplessness, Qin Xin had no choice but to change into women's clothing.
Qin Xin also used his spiritual sense to make some slight changes to his appearance and body to make them more realistic.
Even so, Qin Xin and Xiao Mei searched the guards thoroughly.
Qin Xin was repeatedly groped on the buttocks by the guard, which gave him goosebumps all over his body. In order to enter the palace and gather information, Qin Xin could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"No one is allowed to move around freely in the palace now. Once you're inside, return quietly to your residence and stay there. Understand?"
After verifying that everything was correct, the lead guard returned the princess's token to Xiaomei.
Although Xiaomei was somewhat angry, she didn't want to cause any more trouble. After all, in the past, with this princess token, these guards would be very obedient and no one would dare to provoke her, but things were different now.
With the old king abdicating and the new king taking the throne, Xia Yue no longer held the same status in the palace, and the guards dared to ride roughshod over her.
After successfully entering the palace, Qin Xin was somewhat cautious and did not immediately use his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings. After all, this was the core area of the Great Xia royal family, and there would likely be many reclusive experts here. If someone were discovered to have infiltrated, they would probably take precautions.
This would cause him considerable trouble when he went to greet Qin Lin and Qin Qianfan.
Qin Xin followed behind Xiao Mei without saying much along the way. Fortunately, there were many palace maids in the palace, so it was normal for them not to recognize each other.
So the two of them traveled through the palace and soon arrived at the palace where the princess lived.
After entering the palace, Xiaomei finally breathed a long sigh of relief. After all, if an outsider were discovered entering the palace, they would be executed on the spot. Fortunately, the journey was smooth.
After closing the palace gates, Qin Xin followed Xiao Mei directly into the palace pavilion.
Looking at the colorful ribbons hanging around him, Qin Xin could tell that this was a sign that the wedding was approaching. No wonder Xiao Mei was so anxious to sneak out of the palace to find help.
Just as the two entered the pavilion, a rustling sound came from the room.
Then a woman's voice suddenly rang out, "Xiaomei, where have you been all day?"
"Come here and give me a back rub."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Qin Xin turned away awkwardly, and Xiao Mei quickly gestured for him to stay away.
Little did they know that Qin Xin, who possessed spiritual awareness, had already fully grasped the situation inside the room, which was why he turned his back.
After Xiaomei hurriedly ran into the house, a surprised voice came from inside. Soon, a familiar figure with wet hair appeared behind Qin Xin.
"Huh? She's Qin Xin?"
Looking at the maid with her back turned, Xia Yue looked at Xiao Mei beside her with a puzzled expression, thinking that she was joking with her.
As Qin Xin turned around, Xia Yue's wet hair had already been dried using her Yuan Power.
After a slight smile, Qin Xin withdrew the spiritual energy from his face, and his original face appeared in front of Xia Yue.
"Qin Xin, it really is you!"
"How did you end up in the Great Xia Palace! It's very dangerous here now. You should leave with Xiaomei immediately."
Xia Yue looked somewhat pleased, but then spoke nervously, carefully glancing around.
"Don't worry, there's no one around. I checked before I came in."
Seeing Xia Yue's nervous expression, Qin Xin also spoke softly.
After hearing that no one was around, Xia Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“Now that you’ve entered this palace, it seems the Zhen’an Army isn’t far from the capital.” Xia Yue was very clever and immediately guessed that Qin Xin had come alone to gather information.
"Qin Lin and Qin Qianfan are currently in the palace dungeon. I will find a way to bring them out. You should rest well in this hall tonight. The people outside are all arranged by my second brother. If they find you, there will be considerable trouble."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yue spoke directly.
However, after saying that, Xia Yue regretted it a little. Now that there were only the three of them in the pavilion, it was inevitably a bit awkward to rest.
Qin Xin, being quite sensible, sat down outside and, after disguising himself again, entered a meditative state.
“Princess, you are to marry Ruan Ju tomorrow. Why don’t you talk to Qin Xin and ask him to help you?”
A faint voice came from Xiaomei's mouth in the room, clearly indicating that she did not understand Xia Yue's actions.
"Now that the Great Xia Dynasty is at war with Zhennan Prefecture, even if Qin Xin takes me away from this palace, I'm afraid those people in Zhennan Prefecture might not let me go."
"I have witnessed firsthand how the Great Xia Dynasty has treated the people of Zhennan Prefecture over the years. Alas!"
Xia Yue's words were tinged with helplessness. Although she had never been involved in royal affairs, she was, after all, a member of the royal family.
Xia Yue's father is currently in seclusion, so she has been waiting. If her father knew that Xia Qi was going to marry her off to Ruan Ju, he would naturally not agree.
However, Xia Yue has been waiting for so long without receiving any news about her father, and with the wedding date tomorrow, she is starting to feel anxious.
Throughout the night, although Qin Xin was in a state of cultivation, his spiritual sense was also listening to the conversation between Xia Yue and Xiao Mei.
Perhaps for the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty, or perhaps for the sake of her father, Xia Yue ultimately chose to compromise. She was willing to marry into the Ruan clan, but she was also prepared to deal with Xia Qi.
Qin Xin did not expect that Xia Yue would use her wedding to weaken the defenses of the palace dungeon, so that Xiao Mei would take him directly to the dungeon.
He would approach Qin Lin and Qin Qianfan using his own identity, but whether he could lead them away from the palace depended on Qin Xin's own efforts.
Qin Xin also found Xia Yue's plan to be very ingenious, but it came at the cost of her own life. Once she joined the Ruan clan, there would be no turning back for her.
Qin Xin didn't want to owe anyone favors, so he added some of his own ideas to Xia Yue's plans.
Once Qin Lin and Qin Qianfan are taken away, Xia Yue will also be rescued.
The next day arrived quickly.
The entire palace, inside and out, has been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and many palace maids have come to Xia Yue's pavilion to make arrangements.
A bright red wedding dress was also brought into the room. Although many palace maids found Qin Xin unfamiliar, none of them had any other suspicions.
Just as Xia Yue had guessed, not long after the palace maids finished making their arrangements, Xia Qi arrived at Xia Yue's palace.
