The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Xiwan asked in a dry voice, "How did you die?"

"Noble Concubine Shen sent people to encircle and suppress them."

Xie Chengqian explained it very simply.

Song Xiwan felt that this answer was not clear enough and questioned it, "That's not right. With so many secret guards around you, how could she succeed?"

Xie Chengqian was speechless again, looking at her with his dark eyes.

After a moment, he rolled his throat lightly, "Because there is no one in this world that I care about anymore."

In his previous life, after Xie Chengqian lost his legs, he could no longer go to the battlefield. His life seemed to have fallen into the darkest moment. Xi Wan's existence was like a beacon.

He is always playing games with himself, and is repeatedly torn between inferiority and selfishness.

I didn't expect to lose her so tragically in the end.

Song Xiwan was shocked.

Inexplicably, he saw regret and pain flash across Xie Chengqian's eyes.

What does it mean that there is no one in the world that he cares about anymore?

Who is Xie Chengqian concerned about?

The more Song Xiwan thought about it, the faster her heart beat. She quickly changed the subject, "So there's no clue at all?"

"Have."

Xie Chengqian answered very quickly, and after a pause he continued, "The direction of the investigation is the same as yours now, but no one saw the murderer at the time."

This is extremely strange. How did he escape from Prince Xuan’s Mansion?

Song Xiwan knew, "Your Highness, have you forgotten your lifelike human skin mask? Even I didn't realize it was fake..."

Song Xiwan stopped speaking halfway.

Xie Chengqian caught on to something, "You mean, you saw the murderer?"

Song Xiwan turned sideways silently, not wanting to continue this topic.

I hated him for a long time because I recognized the wrong person.

When they were in the hunting ground, Song Xiwan was still thinking that it would be a good idea for Xie Chengqian to break both of his legs, which would be considered revenge for himself.

Who knew, all this was a trap.

Xie Chengqian insisted, "Whose human skin mask is that person wearing?"

"No, I didn't see it clearly."

Song Xiwan felt very guilty.

Xie Chengqian: “…”

The atmosphere became quiet.

The only sounds left in the pleasure boat were the intermittent breathing of the two people and the sound of the flowing lake water outside. It was so quiet that Song Xiwan's scalp tingled.

Just when Song Xiwan wanted to say something to avoid the topic, Xie Chengqian's voice came again.

"be mine?"

Song Xiwan: “…”

After two lives, she still couldn't hide from Xie Chengqian's discerning eyes.

Xie Chengqian got a positive answer from her silence, his face suddenly turned cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

No wonder Xi Wan was always so cold to him when they met again!

Sometimes there are eyes that want to kill him!

"Ah."

Xie Chengqian's sneer made the atmosphere in the pleasure boat drop to freezing point.

Song Xiwan froze and explained carefully, "I was far away at the time. I only saw the face and was hit by the arrow. I didn't think much about it."

This can't be blamed on her.

Xie Chengqian's aura dissipated, and his voice was filled with helplessness, "I'm not angry with you."

He would never be angry with Xi Wan.

Song Xiwan then looked at him, her bright eyes full of confusion.

As if asking: Why are you so scary?

Xie Chengqian said in a deep voice: "I am just angry that the murderer teased you and me like this, and I am also angry that I was unable to avenge you in my previous life, and now I still can't find out."

Song Xiwan was not used to his caring attitude, as if he really regarded her as an important person.

But it was obvious that she was not in his heart.

Probably just guilt.

"It's all in the past. I just can't understand why you had to disguise yourself as you if you wanted to kill me. I'm going to die anyway."

Song Xiwan looked calm and composed.

Xie Chengqian felt a pang of pain in his heart, and he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

The two of them hugged each other tightly!

The force made Song Xiwan feel like she was about to crash into his body, everything was magnificent.

Xie Chengqian slowly tightened his arms, as if expressing joy and cherishment after regaining something he had lost, and buried his head in her neck and shoulders.

Only by smelling her scent can I feel at ease.

None of this is fake.

Song Xiwan came back to her senses in a panic and tried to struggle free, but Xie Chengqian was holding her too tightly.

"Does it hurt?"

Suddenly, Xie Chengqian asked.

The pain that Song Xiwan had been locking in her heart seemed to be forcibly opened, and it spread uncontrollably to her internal organs.

It hurts!

She didn't die instantly after being pierced by an arrow in the heart. Instead, she felt the pain of suffocation and her limbs gradually lost sensation. Before she died completely, the lake water poured into her mouth and nose, completely depriving her of her last breath.

To the extent that Song Xiwan was not sure whether she died of pain, drowning, or died after her heart was pierced in her previous life.

No one knew that she had died once, so she kept this grievance deep in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian asked.

Xie Chengqian felt a small area of ​​his clothes on his chest was wet, and his body froze.

she cried.

The two of them hugged each other for an unknown amount of time.

It was not until Mu Yun's voice was heard from outside that Song Xiwan came out of his emotions and quickly broke free.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I should get ready to go back."

Xie Chengqian was reluctant to let go of the warmth in his arms, but he also knew that there was no rush, as Xi Wan still had no love for him at this moment.

He just said, "Okay, I will find the murderer."

Song Xiwan nodded and asked, "What's going on with Yan Niang and Yan Wushuang?"

"Yanniang was married to the King of Qi as a concubine over ten years ago. Her background was relatively clean. The only strange thing is that Yanniang was forced upon the King of Qi by Concubine Shen. As for Yan Wushuang, they only met this year, so their plans are still unclear."

Xie Chengqian told Song Xiwan everything without hiding anything.

Song Xiwan nodded.

In this case, Yan Niang and Concubine Shen must be in the same group and are related to the royal family of Cang Kingdom. Yan Wushuang must have his own plans for interfering.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me the truth."

Song Xiwan gave a faint smile, finally not avoiding him like before.

Xie Chengqian's heart moved slightly, "Then are you hiding something from me?"

Song Xiwan looked confused and then shook his head.

"In my previous life, I wasn't good at scheming, and Your Majesty knows about my revenge. Now that I've spoken openly, there's nothing to hide."

"Not in the past life."

Xie Chengqian blurted out this sentence out of the blue.

Song Xiwan was even more confused. In this life?

She thinks every day about passing the imperial examinations and how to protect her father, mother and elder brother.

Until Xie Chengqian reminded him again, "That night, do you really not remember anything?"

Song Xiwan's face suddenly turned red!

All those faded memories came to her mind at this moment, each scene so clear that her hands and feet felt numb.

Why bring this up for no reason?!

Xie Chengqian held her hand and asked with a firm look in his eyes, "Xiwan, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband in my previous life. Can you give me another chance?"

Song Xiwan felt her cheeks burning hot and found it difficult to understand what Xie Chengqian meant.

Wha, what?

"Ahem... By the way, my father asked me to buy him a pot of wine when I return. I, I'm leaving first, Your Highness!"

Song Xiwan suddenly pulled back his hand and fled out of the pleasure boat regardless of anything. He saw Mu Yun taking a walk on a small boat not far away.
