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

Yan Wushuang didn't get an answer and was ruthlessly driven out by Xie Chengqian.

He was confused and extremely puzzled.

Did he really cross the line?

However, as long as Miss Song was safe and sound, Yan Wushuang felt that he had nothing else to ask for.

After taking revenge, I don’t know whether I can save my life.

The news that the Minister of War was detained in the military camp reached the ears of various ministers in the court, and the already tense situation became even more explosive.

Song Xiwan recuperated at home, and occasionally went to see his father to find out what was going on.

The more I listened, the more uneasy I felt.

"Now the ministers in the court are being forced to take sides, and more and more people are questioning the prince. After all, Concubine Shen's people are afraid that they will be the next one, so they are all taking action."

Song Wenyi's face was grim as he told Xi Wan all this, feeling somewhat worried.

This is equivalent to a big gamble.

Song Xiwan pursed her lips. She hadn't seen Xie Chengqian for several days. She did receive his assurances of safety, but there was still no trace of Qi Wei.

According to the pace, reinforcements from the nearby city will soon arrive.

This battle is bound to happen.

Song Xiwan tried to comfort his father, "Noble Concubine Shen has done such evil things. Those people have been bullying the weak for a long time. Your Highness will never let them succeed."

Song Wenyi sighed, "I hope so."

He was afraid of what might happen, but he didn't dare say this in front of Xi Wan.

Song Wenyi changed the subject, "How have you been recuperating lately? Don't worry about these things all day long, but pay more attention to rest."

Song Xiwan smiled faintly and replied, "With Divine Doctor Xu at home, how could anything happen to me?"

Song Wenyi felt relieved instantly.

Doctor Xu is indeed a real talent.

Song Xiwan turned his gaze and said, "Brother, why are you leaving early and returning late these past two days? What if you encounter danger outside?"

"He just took office recently, so he must be quite busy. Father has sent people to secretly protect him, so he'll be fine."

Song Wenyi was not too worried, because those were the guards left by the prince, and even the Yulin Guards could not defeat them.

Song Xi dealt with it late, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

Brother, why are you so busy as a small official?

Later that evening, Song Xiwan went to her eldest brother's yard and happened to meet him coming back from outside, rushing towards the study.

Song Xiwan raised an eyebrow and followed.

After entering the study, Song Junling sat down, took out a scroll and began to write without resting for a moment.

Song Xiwan asked in disbelief, "Brother, you've already won the top spot. What else do you plan to take with such diligence?"

As soon as the voice was heard, it was so quiet that Song Junling subconsciously wanted to hide the volume. Only after he found out it was Xi Wan did he breathe a sigh of relief and patted his chest to calm himself down.

"Why did Xiwan come here suddenly?"

Song Xiwan looked inquiringly, "I came by to see why, big brother, you look so guilty. Did you uncover some shocking secret or hide a treasure?"

Song Junling smiled bitterly and spread the volume in front of her.

There are densely packed drawings on it, with many annotations next to them, which looks quite complicated.

Song Xiwan hesitated and asked, "Is this a mechanism?"

The eldest brother nodded and explained, "This is something the Third Princess asked a sorcerer to draw. She said it would be useful later, so I brought it back to help study it."

Song Xiwan's eyes were full of surprise. "When did you and the Third Princess become so close?"

He seemed indifferent when we met last time.

Moreover, these are all mechanisms for transmitting messages and storing secret treasures. How could the third princess be so confident in handing them over to her eldest brother?

Song Junling's eyes drifted away, and he stammered, "Last time when I went to Yaoyue Residence to celebrate, I ran into the Third Princess and chatted with her for a while."

Song Xiwan noticed something was amiss and asked with a smile, "Just a few words?"

"Correct."

Soong Junling nodded.

Unexpectedly, Xi Wan insisted on asking, "What were you talking about? Why would you bring up these things for no reason? Does the Third Princess trust you so much?"

These questions made Song Junling break out in a cold sweat.

He was not good at lying, especially in front of his sister. He always felt that her eyes could easily see through his thoughts.

Song Junling moved his lips and finally gave up struggling.

"This is a long story, and I don't know where to begin. Now the Third Princess has indeed entrusted this matter to me. Perhaps she trusts you."

Song Xiwan twitched the corner of his mouth.

The eldest brother's brain was really quick, and he didn't forget to use her as a shield.

There must be something fishy going on between the two of them!

But Song Xiwan didn't ask any further, as these were his eldest brother's private matters.

"That's true, but can you also read mechanical blueprints?"

Song Junling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his head, saying, "I've read a lot before, and I understand the theory, but I still need to study it more. Does Xiwan understand?"

In his heart, his sister is omnipotent.

Song Xiwan actually knew a little bit about it. "I learned a little about it when I was traveling around in the martial arts world. These two blueprints are indeed top-notch, but..."

Song Junling's heart was hanging in the air. "But what? But is there a problem?"

This cannot delay the third princess's affairs.

Song Xiwan caught a glimpse of her eldest brother's anxious expression and didn't continue to keep him in suspense. "It needs to be improved. The Third Princess wants to do something too big. If someone can solve this mechanism, the news will be leaked, which may also bring danger to the Third Princess."

Song Junling suddenly realized what was going on and then looked annoyed.

"You're right! But the blueprints were all created by quacks. A single move could affect the entire system. How can we improve this?"

If you let the quacks modify it, the result will be the same.

Song Xiwan raised an eyebrow, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I can study with big brother."

Song Junling was extremely surprised, "Xi Wan can also make mechanisms?"

"Understood."

Song Xiwan had learned some things, but it might not be that easy to put them into practice.

Song Junling's admiration for her sister remained undiminished, and she immediately asked someone to prepare materials to help her improve the mechanism on the drawing.

I worked until late at night, but as expected, I failed.

Song Xiwan was puzzled, "Impossible."

Song Junling looked at the high moon and secretly advised: "Why don't we go here first today? The weather is not good. Xiwan should go back to sleep."

"Just one step left."

Song Xiwan's face was tense, and he couldn't think of anything.

Song Junling was also at a loss, so he offered some words of comfort, "We've already accomplished this much today, and there's still time. We'll think about it tomorrow."

Song Xiwan shook his head firmly, "No."

Song Junling couldn't do anything to her, and said helplessly: "You are still injured, don't you want to sleep?"

"That's not the case. I remember that the prince is good at mechanical engineering. I will go and ask him tomorrow."

Song Xiwan replied with a faint smile.

Song Junling was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Xiwan, you haven't been thinking about meeting the prince since this afternoon, have you?"

What kind of mechanical trick is this? It's just an excuse!

Song Xiwan's eyes flashed with guilt, and she asked in a very calm voice, "Brother, why do you miss me so much? Don't you want to help the Third Princess solve her problem?"
