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

Xie Qingyuan had never expected him to make such a suggestion and was filled with shock.

"What do you mean, Fifth Brother?"

"You are a princess of the Great Xia Kingdom, of noble status. There is no need to go to that wild and barbaric place to marry. The Queen will definitely not agree to it."

Xie Chengqian's voice was full of contempt for Cang State.

Not to mention that Xie Qingyuan was the queen's daughter, no other princess should have suffered this punishment.

Xie Qingyuan thought the same thing, but had to look at the situation rationally.

"My father has issued an order. If I disobey, I will only bring trouble to my mother."

A dark light flashed in Xie Chengqian's eyes, and he said calmly, "You have also seen the emperor's physical condition. He made the imperial edict in a state of confusion, and the court officials have the right to advise and remonstrate."

Xie Qingyuan was shocked!

She heard a hint of determination in her fifth brother's words, and a horrifying guess popped up in her mind.

"What do you want to do?"

Xie Chengqian raised his silent eyes and said calmly, "I'm just doing some construction for the Great Xia Kingdom. Besides, the Cang Kingdom is bound to be defeated by me. If you go, it will only make things difficult for you in the future."

There was a solemn and murderous tone in his words.

Xie Qingyuan's heart was pounding, as he understood his fifth brother's final plan. He didn't want to easily bow to the Cang Kingdom and ask for peace.

His father didn't want him to go to war, but his fifth brother didn't want to either.

"Then what do I do?"

Xie Chengqian understood that the third princess had chosen to stand on his side. The fierce look in his eyes faded a little, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

He said, "Go out and relax."

Xie Qingyuan had been planning to have a big fight with her fifth brother, but he just said this lightly, leaving her very confused.

What to relax?

Xie Chengqian explained calmly, "Just leave a few words for the Queen, go out for a while, and wait for my news."

Xie Qingyuan still didn't understand what his fifth brother meant, but she believed him from the bottom of her heart.

"it is good."

Xie Chengqian looked at her in surprise again.

Xie Qingyuan was indeed the smartest among his many siblings, but he was too naive to have believed that the emperor had feelings for him for so long.

Now that I see through it, I can get away pretty quickly.

Xie Qingyuan originally wanted to leave, but when she thought of what she had just said to her father in the Yangxin Palace, she still felt a lump in her heart.

"Fifth brother, I'm sorry."

Xie Chengqian frowned in confusion, "What?"

Does she regret it?

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "When the emperor suddenly asked you to go to the battlefield, you must have been very sad, right? I should have tried my best to stop him."

Xie Qingyuan was still young at that time, but she knew the danger and repeatedly begged her father to withdraw the order, but it was useless. Even her mother advised her not to get involved.

Therefore, Xie Qingyuan always felt guilty towards his fifth brother. Every time he returned to Kyoto, he would ask about his fifth brother's well-being, but it seemed that his fifth brother no longer needed this.

Xie Chengqian's eyes darkened, as if he was recalling the past.

He just said, "It's all over."

Xie Qingyuan felt even more uncomfortable, muttering, "Just because it's in the past doesn't mean you haven't experienced it. I only now understand my father's intentions. I'm truly sorry."

At that time, Fifth Brother must have felt very helpless, right?

Xie Chengqian glanced at her and knew that Xie Qingyuan was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. Instead of apologizing and forgiving repeatedly, it would be better to get down to business.

"If you feel guilty, don't let anyone find you."

Xie Qingyuan was startled for a moment, then understood what he meant and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not interfere with your plan."

Xie Chengqian nodded and turned to leave.

Xie Qingyuan followed him, and seemed to have a lot to say to him today.

"You and Miss Song are in tune with each other, aren't you? You have good taste. Miss Song is much better than Miss Su at first glance."

Xie Chengqian paused and looked at her in confusion.

Why did this bring up the matter of Xi Wan and Su Xun Yao?

Xie Qingyuan thought that some secret had been exposed, and immediately promised, "I will definitely not tell anyone. I will wait quietly for your wedding day."

Xie Chengqian actually liked the words "wedding day" and his lips curled up slightly.

He suddenly remembered something and frowned as he asked, "Do you really think there is any relationship between me and Su Xunyao?"

Xie Qingyuan was stunned by the question, and then replied, "Yes, everyone used to think so, but now that Miss Su is going to marry Xie Qiang as a concubine, no one should mention it anymore."

Xie Chengqian's face darkened.

Xi Wan always mentioned Su Xunyao intentionally or unintentionally before. Was it because he cared about this matter?

Did she think so too?

The more Xie Chengqian thought about it, the more he left the palace to find Xi Wan.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingyuan suddenly said in a cold tone, "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will appear."

Su Xunyao entered the palace wearing plain clothes. She had indeed put on careful makeup, her eyes were rosy, and she looked so fragile that I could feel pity for her.

"Greetings to the Prince and the Third Princess."

As soon as he came over, Su Xunyao bowed and saluted.

The reason why Xie Qingyuan never liked Su Xunyao was that she felt she was too weak, and she was even more disgusted when she learned that she was harboring Song Lingxi.

Xie Qingyuan's tone was slightly cold, "Why did Miss Su enter the palace?"

Su Xunyao lowered her brows and replied submissively, "Xunyao heard that the Second Prince was injured by Sister Xiwan and was extremely worried, so she came to visit."

Most importantly, she couldn't wait to know what happened to Song Xiwan!

Xie Qingyuan chuckled and said, "Miss Su is so concerned about him even before they get married. The two of you must have a very good relationship."

Su Xunyao's expression froze slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Xie Chengqian, afraid that he might misunderstand. However, Xie Chengqian's expression remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

How could he do that?

Xie Qingyuan was also observing her fifth brother's expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her fifth brother really had no interest in Su Xunyao.

Su Xunyao gritted her teeth, her words lacking focus. "The Second Prince being severely beaten is no small matter. It's only right that Xunyao came all the way here to show her concern."

"There was no beating, it was just a misunderstanding. Second brother has already left the palace, so Miss Su's trip was in vain."

Xie Qingyuan responded with a faint smile.

Su Xunyao was shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief. "What do you mean by misunderstanding? The Imperial Guards were deployed to protect the emperor. Song Xiwan was the one who killed him!"

The next moment, she looked at Xie Chengqian, whose face was sullen, and stared at him in surprise.

"Is it because His Majesty disregarded the law and was too late to protect Song Xi?"

Xie Qingyuan was the first to turn cold and scolded, "Miss Su, be careful with your words!"

Su Xunyao was shocked and trembled. She bit her lower lip tightly, unwilling to give in.

Why? !

"The Second Prince has been severely injured, yet you all have turned a blind eye. Xun Yao will not accept this and will definitely protest to the end."

This is a chance to completely crush Song Xiwan and make him unable to get up!

Xie Qingyuan smiled.

Where does Su Xunyao put herself?

A concubine who has not yet married into the family, speaks as if she were the principal wife of Xie Qiang. Is her love and loyalty really so deep?

Xie Chengqian's eyes flashed with impatience, and his voice was extremely cold, "Miss Su, if you want to go, go ahead. I have something important to attend to."

He still has to find Xiwan.

Su Xunyao was very angry, but she didn't dare to force Xie Chengqian to stay.

Xie Qingyuan said, "We just came out of the Yangxin Palace. Miss Su really wants to go?"
