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

Xie Qingyuan's expression was slightly tense, and after careful consideration, she replied, "I used to admire my uncle's deep sense of justice and decisiveness, but today I really don't understand."

What's the point of bringing Situ Ziyue to the capital at this time?

Situ Sheng's voice dropped. "Do you know that your mother wants you to take the throne?"

Xie Qingyuan pursed her lips and nodded, "I went to the palace to see my mother today. She mentioned this to me, but I haven't made a conclusion yet."

But now it seemed like everyone was pushing her to that position, not allowing her to think carefully.

No, my uncle also asked: "Don't you want to?"

Xie Qingyuan felt helpless. In just two days, she had heard too many people ask her this question, but no one gave her time to think.

She couldn't give an answer either.

Her mother's words finally made her waver.

Situ Sheng still understood Xie Qingyuan. Even if she hesitated at this moment, she would definitely agree in the end.

He analyzed with a cold look, "Your mother hopes that I can cooperate with Prince Xuan, but I am also worried that Prince Xuan has other plans."

By then, the people he brought might not be able to compete with Xie Chengqian.

"Fifth brother is not that kind of person."

Xie Qingyuan retorted with a gloomy face.

Situ Sheng frowned, "People's hearts are hidden. You only see what others want you to see. If he was truly open and sincere, how could he sit in this position?"

Xie Chengqian's reputation as the God of War has spread to Lingnan. Everyone knows that this man is cruel and ruthless. If he wants to kill someone, no one can escape.

How can we not be wary of such a partner?

Xie Qingyuan couldn't agree with this and felt that her uncle was extremely prejudiced against her fifth brother.

She wanted to argue with him, but when she met her uncle's rather stubborn gaze, she felt desolate and knew that if she continued, there would only be an argument.

That's it.

She doesn't need any help.

Xie Qingyuan took a deep breath before asking, "So, what does this have to do with you bringing cousin Ziyue here? Is this a test?"

Situ Sheng shook his head. "Why test it when the situation is so pressing? If we want to reduce the possibility of Prince Xuan's rebellion, there is only one plan that will work."

Xie Qingyuan's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition flashed through his mind.

"What is it?"

"Prince Xuan still hasn't married. If he is willing to marry Ziyue as his princess, this concern can be eliminated. I need you to mediate."

Situ Sheng smiled and proposed an extremely absurd plan.

Xie Qingyuan’s eyes widened!

She said bluntly, "Cousin Ziyue is clearly displeased with Fifth Brother today. She will definitely not tolerate any wrongs. This will only make things awkward for both sides."

Moreover, the fifth brother likes Song Xiwan. Even Su Xunyao's reputation as a talented woman did not win his favor, let alone the arrogant Situ Ziyue.

My uncle is really crazy!

However, Situ Sheng was really determined and tried to persuade her: "No, I told Zi Yue about this before I came here, and she had no objection."

Situ Ziyue is arrogant and strives to be the best in everything, and Xie Chengqian is undoubtedly the most eye-catching man in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

He's not inferior in appearance, martial arts and status, so what if he's a little cold?

Xie Qingyuan had never encountered such a difficult and speechless situation before. Her breath was stuck in her throat, and she was choked and unable to speak.

The uncle added, "This is also to support you and resolve Prince Xuan's worries. He will definitely be loyal to you one day for Zi Yue's sake."

"Is it for me or for yourself?"

Xie Qingyuan looked over with cold eyes, a hint of disappointment rising in her heart, but she quickly accepted this fact.

If even her father could abandon her, how could others treat her sincerely?

Situ Sheng was stunned at first, then he asked unhappily, "Qing Yuan, do you mean you don't believe your uncle?"

Xie Qingyuan smiled coldly, "My uncle is right. People's hearts are hidden. I don't know who is sincere anymore."

We all wear masks, and when we tear them off, there may be another one. What is real?

"Qing Yuan!"

Situ Sheng shouted angrily, with disappointment on his face.

Xie Qingyuan tilted her head, clenched her fists, and said hoarsely, "Uncle, you know I'm not good at or like this kind of calculation. I'm sorry I can't agree to this."

"You...that's all. It's my uncle's fault for not being considerate enough and making you sad."

In the end, Situ Sheng stopped talking and reflected on himself, which made Xie Qingyuan secretly relieved.

At least her uncle was willing to listen to her opinion.

Xie Qingyuan slowed down her voice, "I know that everything my uncle did was for me and my mother, so I don't take it to heart."

A dark glint flashed across Situ Sheng's eyes, and he said earnestly, "I'm glad you understand. I'll try to contact your mother to discuss the follow-up matters."

"Okay, I can send someone to deliver a letter for my uncle."

Xie Qingyuan was no longer as excited as before and was willing to ease the relationship with her uncle.

The crisis in Shangjing City has not been resolved, and my mother is still in the palace. My uncle will need to protect her when necessary.

After Situ Sheng agreed, he left Yaoyueju.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Situ Sheng's expression darkened and he told his trusted aides, "Go tell Zi Yue that she needs to fight for this matter herself."

The confidant looked suspicious, "But didn't the Third Princess just say..."

Situ Sheng's brows were furrowed tightly, his words filled with dissatisfaction, "She is still too naive and doesn't understand the dangers of the world. I don't want to have a bad relationship with her, but I can't just watch her being used and betrayed."

If King Xuan ascends the throne, all their efforts will be in vain!

If Qing Yuan becomes the emperor, the Situ family will become more and more prosperous, and they will no longer have to stay in the wasteland of Lingnan!

His sister, the queen, must have thought the same.

The confidant didn't dare to ask any more questions and went to do it immediately.

……

The next day.

Song Xiwan sent all the clothes she had recently tailored to her father and mother. After drinking the medicine, she sat in the yard and read a book.

boring.

I wonder what the situation is like with Xie Chengqian?

As she was thinking this, Qiu Zhu hurried in with an indignant look on her face.

Song Xiwan couldn't help but be curious, "What's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

Qiu Zhu's eyes were red but she was still trying hard to suppress her tears. She didn't want to say anything, but when she saw the girl's curious and innocent face, she felt very annoyed.

They just think girls are easy to bully!

"I don't know where Princess Ziyue came from. When I met the prince on the street today, I unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

Qiu Zhu didn't know what to say next. Princess Zi Yue was going too far!

Song Xiwan was completely confused. "What did I do to make you so angry?"

She had heard a little about this Princess Zi Yue. As someone who was extremely favored, it was not surprising that she would do anything. But if the other party was Xie Chengqian, she should not be allowed to succeed, right?

Qiu Zhu stamped her feet fiercely, "In front of the prince!"
