"No way," Hua Yueye frowned. "Xue'er, go back to sleep right away."
"I don't want to!" Hua Xue'er shook her head willfully. Her brows were tightly knitted, and her face seemed a bit pale in the moonlight.
Helpless, Su Qingwen had no choice but to agree with her. "Alright, I'll take you with us. But you have to promise me that you won't cause any trouble. Got it?"
"Okay." Hua Xue'er nodded woodenly.
Hua Yueye gave her a glance. He just felt that Hua Xue'er was acting really strange today. However, he didn't say much. Instead, he quickly grabbed Su Qingwen's hand and led her out of the palace.
The three of them went to the mansion of the Prince of Rui. They sneaked to the door of the prince's study. Then Hua Yueye quietly opened a crack in the door and peeked inside carefully.
They saw the Prince of Rui taking out the remains of Rama from the cabinet. He bowed to the sky for quite a while, muttering something. "May God bless me. I hope I can return to normal!"
The Prince of Rui took a deep breath and placed the remains of Rama in the moonlight. Immediately, a ray of light shone on the remains. The prince stretched out his arms, as if he was feeling something.
At this moment, Hua Xue'er suddenly let out a strange cry. "Ah!"
This cry suddenly caught the Prince of Rui's attention. He glanced over coldly, frowning. "Who's there? Guards! Chase them!"
"What are you doing?" Su Qingwen covered Hua Xue'er's mouth and nose, then immediately pulled her away.
They were about to witness the most crucial moment, but now it was all ruined. Suddenly, countless servants surrounded the courtyard. Hua Yueye grabbed Hua Xue'er and Su Qingwen and immediately jumped onto the roof and left.
Fortunately, Hua Xue'er didn't make much of a fuss now. She just stared blankly ahead, as if she didn't know what was going on.
Hua Yueye and Su Qingwen exchanged a glance and pulled her away.
Thanks to Hua Yueye, they managed to leave the Prince of Rui's mansion smoothly.
After they got back, Su Qingwen scolded Hua Xue'er severely. "Hey, what on earth do you want to do? Why did you do that? Do you want to kill me?"
Hearing this, Hua Xue'er still looked dull and silly. She raised her eyes. "Sister - in - law, I'm really sorry. I was just too scared just now. I won't dare to do it again."
"You..." Su Qingwen was about to say something else, but seeing Hua Xue'er's pitiful look, she felt embarrassed to say anything more. She could only sigh helplessly, shaking her head. "Forget it. You may have been really scared today. Go to bed early."
After saying that, Su Qingwen pulled Hua Yueye beside her. "I think this girl seems to be possessed today. Let her have a good sleep. We'll talk about it later."
"Okay." Hua Yueye nodded helplessly and led Su Qingwen to the outer room.
"I think Xue'er was very persistent today. She might have had a nightmare. You must question her carefully when she wakes up tomorrow," Hua Yueye stared into Su Qingwen's eyes and said.
"Okay. Do you think what the Prince of Rui wanted to do with the remains of Rama today?" They were halfway through watching, but now it was interrupted by Xue'er. Otherwise, they would have known the truth long ago.
"I think he might want to restore his physical disability," Hua Yueye looked into the distance. At first, he really didn't understand what the Prince of Rui was up to, but today he suddenly understood. The prince meant to stand up again with the help of the remains of Rama.
"Does the remains of Rama have such a magical function?" Su Qingwen opened her eyes wide and asked eagerly.
"It's just a rumor. No one has ever seen it. The Prince of Rui is probably just giving it a try," Hua Yueye propped his head up and stared into the distance with a firm look in his eyes.
"If he stands up, won't it be a threat to you? He already has evil intentions. Won't he be even more blatant in the future?" Su Qingwen twitched the corner of her mouth and stared into the man's eyes.
"It's just a legend. Moreover, this remains of Rama is not real, so it's not a cause for concern," Hua Yueye sneered. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance. He believed that the Prince of Rui wouldn't cause any trouble.
"I see," Su Qingwen snapped her fingers. "I didn't expect you to be so smart. Everyone is exhausted tonight. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay." Hua Yueye stared at her intently and kissed her on the forehead. "Then I won't keep you company."
Hearing this, Su Qingwen's face flushed suddenly. If this man were in modern times, he would definitely be a "heart - breaker". How could he be so charming?
Watching Hua Yueye leave, Su Qingwen turned around and went back into the room. At this time, Hua Xue'er was already asleep. Her brows were tightly knitted, as if she was having a nightmare. She kept mumbling. "What do you want to do?"
"Xue'er? What's wrong with you?" Su Qingwen was stunned for a moment and immediately went over to push her shoulder. "Xue'er, wake up quickly."
Hua Xue'er seemed to feel her touch and suddenly calmed down. Then she frowned and slowly opened her eyes.
"What's going on?" She slowly sat up straight and looked around in a daze. Then she fixed her eyes on Su Qingwen. "Sister - in - law, why am I here?"
"Still asking? Didn't you come here by yourself?" Su Qingwen twitched the corner of her mouth. She guessed in her heart that this naughty girl was really sleep - walking. She even forgot what happened yesterday.
"What? I came here by myself? Why don't I remember?" Hua Xue'er looked up at her, covering her forehead with one hand. "Why don't I know?"
"Really?" Su Qingwen looked at Hua Xue'er doubtfully. "I remember you never had the habit of sleep - walking before. This time, it's really different."
"I also find it strange," Hua Xue'er said, touching her body as if looking for something. When she touched the jade pendant, there was a bit more smile in her eyes. The nervousness on her face disappeared. Then she carefully stroked the patterns on the jade pendant and couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth.
"What's this?" Su Qingwen sniffed and found that there was a faint fragrance on the jade pendant. The fragrance was faint but refreshing.
"As you can see, this is a token given to me by someone," Hua Xue'er's cheeks flushed slightly. She seemed a bit embarrassed.
"Who?" Su Qingwen was stunned. Looking at her like this, it seemed that it was given by her sweetheart.
