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

Xie Qiang was so panicked that he quickly turned his wheelchair back into the hall, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

There is someone in this palace who can use hidden weapons to plot against the Purple Gold Guards. Will he be the next one to be killed?

He just became the crown prince!

"Second Prince, please stay."

A cold voice sounded in front of him, startling Xie Qiang so much that he froze in place, not daring to take another step forward, and swallowed quietly.

This assassin...when did he appear in his palace?

Xie Qiang managed to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do? This is the imperial palace. To murder the crown prince is a capital crime!"

It must be someone arranged by Xie Chengqian to create this drama to eliminate him as the crown prince, otherwise how could the Zijin Guards fall into the trap?

The person in front of him was dressed in black and had an ordinary face. Xie Qiang really couldn't remember who he was.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I am here to save you."

Xie Qiang sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

A hint of impatience flashed across the other person's cold eyes. This Xie Qiang was indeed terribly stupid.

He could only say, "If I wasn't here to save you, why would I target only Xie Chengqian's men? Besides, my master and Concubine Shen are partners and would never harm you."

Xie Qiang's panic finally subsided a little, and he frowned, trying to judge whether the man's words were true or not.

After a moment, Xie Qiang asked, "So, how are you going to save me?"

The other party replied: "Your Highness is now the crown prince, so Xie Chengqian will definitely not tolerate it. The best strategy is to leave the palace and make plans later."

Xie Qiang's heart was touched!

The obstruction by the Purple Gold Guards just now was the best proof that Xie Chengqian would kill him sooner or later.

Although this person's origin is unknown, he was able to defeat the Purple Gold Guard with just one move, so his martial arts skills must be extraordinary.

I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well take a gamble!

"Can you really help me?"

"Of course, my mission is to get you out of the palace safely."

Xie Qiang agreed.

Everything went more smoothly than he had imagined. The assassin did not act alone. There was someone supporting him in secret. When the Purple Gold Guards discovered them, they met the enemy and even put a human skin mask on him in the middle.

After leaving the palace, no one stopped him and no one knew his whereabouts.

Xie Qiang was secretly surprised. Who was this man's master?

This doubt disappeared immediately when he saw Qi Wei, and his face was full of shock and a little fear.

"You, how did you..."

Qi Wei applied ointment to the festering and itchy wound, wishing he could just dig it out with a knife, but it was no use, the wound continued to fester.

The only way to provide temporary relief is to use ointment to prevent the condition from becoming too deep-rooted.

He put on a sinister smile and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just poisoned."

Xie Qiang's panicked heart could not calm down at all. He had heard his mother mention the Crown Prince of Cang Kingdom a long time ago. He was insidious, cunning and cruel!

However, they are indeed in a partnership, so they shouldn't do anything to him.

Xie Qiang then forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, I am truly grateful for your help. Will my mother come along?"

"What is she doing out here?"

Qi Wei looked at him with a cold gaze and added, "I will only save the future emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom."

Concubine Shen is too ambitious and difficult to control.

If Xie Qiang becomes his puppet, he will not be afraid of not being able to swallow up the Great Xia Kingdom in the future.

Xie Qiang's throat felt dry. After understanding Qi Wei's meaning, he didn't know what to say.

"Then my mother..."

Before he could finish his words, Qi Wei's sinister and impatient gaze stopped him from continuing. He then heard Qi Wei say, "Those who accomplish great things don't dwell on trivial matters. If Your Highness is so hesitant, how can you fight Xie Chengqian?"

Xie Qiang's face was stiff, and he lowered his head slightly. "Don't be angry, Your Highness. I won't ask any more questions."

Anyway, his mother only treated him as a chess piece to be used!

Qi Wei's tone slowed down. "I rescued you so that I could put you on the throne. Half of the soldiers in Shangjing City are now commanded by Xie Chengqian, and the other half are led by other generals. As long as you can convince them, we can clear the emperor's side."

Xie Qiang has laid out the plan, all he needs to do is take action.

Xie Qiang pursed his lips, a look of helplessness flashing across his face. "Those generals are like stubborn donkeys. They usually don't take me seriously. How could they possibly help me?"

Qi Wei's eyes turned even colder, and his patience was almost exhausted.

No wonder Concubine Shen has not succeeded in usurping the throne for so many years. This son is so useless!

"Then you won't find a way?"

Xie Qiang heard the impatience in his tone and didn't dare to refute him immediately. "Yes! I'll think about it right away!"

Qi Wei clenched his fists and asked someone to arrange a room for Xie Qiang, and then investigate the weaknesses of these generals to accomplish the task as soon as possible.

……

Xuanwangfu.

Xie Chengqian stayed in the military camp for a few days, and when he came back, his eyes were still tired.

He looked at the kneeling Purple Gold Guards and asked calmly, "Where did they go?"

"In a house not far from the palace, Qi Wei is also there."

Although Qi Wei's men took Xie Qiang around in circles and wore human skin masks, they were well prepared and could see his whereabouts clearly.

The prince's move to lure the snake out of its hole was truly brilliant!

A chill flashed across Xie Chengqian's eyes, "You hid it so arrogantly."

Mu Yun also felt his scalp tingling.

The person who was being looked for every day was actually hiding near the palace. If Qi Wei had any sinister tricks and came to assassinate us in the middle of the night, it would be troublesome.

Mu Yun couldn't help but ask for instructions, "I'll go arrest him right away!"

Unexpectedly, the prince shook his head and said, "No hurry."

Mu Yun looked bewildered. Hadn't he been going through all this trouble these days just to catch Qi Wei? Why wasn't he in a hurry now?

Xie Chengqian did not explain and asked about the situation of the Purple Gold Guards in the palace.

"We followed the prince's instructions and did not fight to the death with Qi Wei's men, so there were no casualties."

That's good.

Xie Chengqian sent the people away, and then received another visiting card.

Sent by Situ Sheng - I will arrive in Shangjing City tomorrow and look forward to meeting with the prince.

Xie Chengqian curled his lips slightly, burned the visiting card, raised his eyes to meet Mu Yun's curious gaze, and said, "We have an important guest coming tomorrow, let Uncle Wang make good preparations."

"Yes... Your Majesty, Qi Wei really doesn't care anymore?"

Mu Yun couldn't help but ask.

Xie Chengqian's voice was very calm. "Shangjing City is my territory. I just need to confirm where he is. This time, I have to rely on him to find those bad apples."

Mu Yun understood, "So the prince still has a plan for the next step."

This made him feel relieved.

Xie Chengqian frowned slightly, "When have I ever made you worry?"

Mu Yun, who was always outspoken, said bluntly, "Your Highness is extremely impulsive when it comes to matters concerning Miss Song. How can I not be worried?"

Xie Chengqian's eyes darkened, a warning evident on his face.

Mu Yun talks too much.

Mu Yun cleverly found an excuse to leave so as not to give the prince a chance to punish him, but after taking two steps out he stopped and pointed at something on the table.

"That seems to have been sent by Miss Song."
