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

This is exactly what Song Xiwan was worried about.

She didn't like Su Xunyao, but Prime Minister Su's misfortune was unprovoked, and Prime Minister Su's heart for the country and the people was obvious to all. It would be a pity for the Great Xia Kingdom to lose this prime minister because of this.

Mr. Du stroked his white beard and glanced at Song Xiwan's face, feeling very pleased.

"Su Xunyao treated you like this, and you still want to help the Su family?"

"I can still distinguish between personal grudges and matters of family and country. If Prime Minister Su falls, is there anyone suitable to take over the position of Prime Minister in this court?"

Song Xiwan raised the most fatal question.

Mr. Du laughed out loud, which made Song Xiwan confused. What did she say wrong?

Then Master Du said, "If you can serve as an official in the future, it will be a blessing for the Great Xia Kingdom."

Song Xiwan's eyelids twitched!

She whispered, "Master, you just said we shouldn't be so conceited. This is actually arrogant."

Master Du truly felt that Song Xiwan had an upright character and a clear distinction between love and hate. With such a talent, there was no need to worry about the fate of the Great Xia Kingdom.

However, these words are indeed inappropriate to hear.

Master Du brought the subject back to the present. "If you can think this way about the Su family's affairs, then the Emperor will certainly not implicate innocent people. Besides, there are indeed more suitable candidates for Prime Minister in the court."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiwan suddenly understood.

That’s right, the emperor would never let Prime Minister Su get into trouble so easily.

She smiled faintly, "I worry too much."

Master Du's eyes showed a hint of deep meaning, and he said slowly: "So just do what you want to do, don't worry too much."

Song Xiwan couldn't help but look up at Mr. Du, and finally showed a hint of helplessness.

"Nothing can be hidden from the Master's eyes."

Mr. Du chuckled.

As soon as he left the branch, Song Xiwan asked someone to check Su Xunyao's whereabouts.

Since she no longer had any concerns, she had no intention of showing mercy to Su Xunyao.

The message came late at night.

Su Xunyao has been staying in the mansion these days, but the maids around her have been going out all the time, mainly to temples in the suburbs.

Going once or twice could be considered praying for the results of the imperial examination, but going so frequently is definitely different.

Song Xiwan decided to go to the temple to investigate in person.

He left as soon as the day broke and the city gates opened.

Song Xiwan changed into some light clothes and disguised herself slightly, so she walked on the street so confidently that no one recognized her.

In addition to the palace's secret guards, they reported to her, "Miss Song, Miss Su also went out just now, and it seems that she is also going to the temple outside the city."

Song Xiwan didn't have anyone he could trust and was particularly efficient, so during this period he almost always asked Xie Chengqian's secret guards to look up information.

It is really convenient to use.

All news will be delivered as soon as possible.

A gleam of light flashed across Song Xiwan's eyes. "What a coincidence! That can save me a lot of time. How many people did she bring with her?"

The secret guard replied: "A maid and a guard are protecting us secretly."

Song Xiwan's smile widened, this meant he should keep a low profile.

"In that case, I'm very worried. What if something happens in this wilderness? Go to the government office and call a few people to protect Miss Su."

"Yes."

The secret guard quickly agreed, and when he saw Miss Song's meaningful smile, his scalp tightened a little. He always felt that Miss Su would have a miserable end in the future.

Song Xiwan took a few steps forward, then stopped and looked back, her eyes looking a little complicated.

The secret guard tactfully asked, "Miss Song, do you have any other instructions?"

Song Xiwan pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you know when the prince will be back?"

There has been no news since our last letter.

I don't know what the situation is.

The secret guard thought that Miss Song had the prince's token in her hand and had already acquiesced to her being the future princess, so he naturally would not hide it.

"As far as I know, he is already on his way back and will arrive in Shangjing City in a few days."

Song Xiwan nodded lightly, appearing calm on the surface, but actually secretly calculating the schedule for the next few days and wondering where Xie Chengqian was now.

Whose territory is that? Is it safe?

Song Xiwan's face darkened as he thought about it, and he shook his head and muttered, "This is really crazy, why do I think about this?"

The secret guard looked puzzled. Why was Miss Song talking to herself?

Song Xiwan didn't explain his doubts to him, and went towards the temple with a gloomy face.

This is a relatively small marriage temple. Due to its remote location, few people come here, and the temple is already covered with dust and cobwebs.

According to the news from the secret guards, Su Xunyao had just entered not long ago.

Song Xiwan went around to the back of the temple alone to find out what was going on.

Sure enough, she heard Song Lingxi's voice, "Xun Yao, didn't you say you would send me away from here? When can I leave?"

Su Xunyao feigned helplessness and replied, "The investigation in Shangjing City is very strict now. The government already suspects that you have escaped from the city. There are portraits of you in the neighboring cities. It is difficult to send you away."

"Your grandfather is the Prime Minister! How could you not have any solution?"

Song Lingxi was extremely impatient, and her tone was very aggressive.

A slap sounded unexpectedly!

Then came Su Xunyao's scolding, "Lingxi, you have to understand one thing. I don't owe you anything. I have done my best to arrange for you to be here."

Song Lingxi didn't dare to raise any objections and apologized tearfully, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I was just impatient."

Still extremely humble.

Song Xiwan raised her eyebrows. This Su Xunyao was indeed no pushover and she easily took control of Song Lingxi.

Is it time to put forward conditions next?

Sure enough, Su Xunyao continued, "I can help you leave Shangjing City, but I also risk being beheaded. How do you plan to repay me?"

"You, what do you want me to do?"

Song Lingxi reacted.

Su Xunyao's cold voice was particularly noticeable in the silent temple. "I want you to help me kill Song Xiwan."

Song Lingxi exclaimed, "What?"

Su Xunyao urged again and again, "Don't you also want her dead? We've already killed Zhang Kunling, so what if Song Xiwan comes along?"

"But if I go back to the capital, I'll definitely be caught! Better to wait until things calm down a bit before coming back to kill her."

Song Lingxi was not opposed to letting Song Xi die later, but before that she had to ensure her own safety.

Song Xiwan just wanted to laugh when she heard this.

There was no hope for her whimsical sister.

How could Su Xunyao agree?

No, he immediately scolded in a deep voice, "The results of the examination will be announced soon. Song Xiwan must die before he stops me."

Song Lingxi was a little puzzled. "As the most talented woman in the capital, why would you be afraid of her? She must have used some dirty tricks to gain fame in the past."

"Who said I'm afraid of her? I want to be absolutely safe!"

Su Xunyao's voice was filled with annoyance, forcing Song Lingxi to agree.

But the question is how can she get back to the capital?

Song Xiwan couldn't stand listening to such a clumsy scheme, so she interrupted their conspiracy calmly, "Simple, I'll take you back myself."
