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

Song Wenyi's first reaction was worry, and his tone slowed down considerably. "Xiwan, why are you here? Did you bring extra guards? Did you encounter any accidents on the way?"

He also knew that the beheading of Princess Ziyue's secret guard was definitely not done by the Situ family!

If what Princess Ziyue said was true, Xi Wan would definitely not attack without reason. It was probably Princess Ziyue's secret guard who wanted to attack Xi Wan.

If there is one, there will be two. Who knows if the Situ family has arranged other secret guards to assassinate him.

Song Xiwan smiled faintly and replied, "It's okay. Who would be so blind as to send assassins to the capital? Aren't they afraid of shooting themselves in the foot?"

Situ Ziyue's face froze, and she looked at Song Xiwan with extremely cold eyes!

Is this bitch deliberately mocking her?

Song Wenyi echoed, "Indeed, in the capital, no one would die unjustly under the Emperor's feet. Could it be that Princess Ziyue's secret guard has offended someone?"

Situ Ziyue was attacked repeatedly by the father and daughter, and she could hardly suppress her anger.

"How could this princess, having just arrived in the capital, have offended anyone? Furthermore, that Japanese princess sent her personal guards to give Miss Song a gift and apologize, and they never returned!"

Song Xiwan smiled, "Sending a gift to apologize?"

Situ Ziyue would say anything to find an excuse.

Situ Ziyue lied without blushing or beating her heart, "That's right! When we were at Yaoyue Residence, this princess said a few harsh words to you. Later, I wanted to give you a gift to ease the relationship so as to avoid making things difficult for Your Highness in the future."

Song Wenyi's face darkened. How could the prince be involved in this?

Moreover, hearing these words made people feel that Princess Ziyue and Prince Xuan had a close relationship. He glanced sideways at Xi Wan and saw that she looked calm, so she should be fine, right?

"Oh? If that's the case, why did the princess insist that I was the one who killed your secret guard?"

Situ Ziyue scolded coldly, "You have a grudge against me. Not only did you refuse to accept the gift, you also killed my people."

Song Xiwan's eyes turned cold, "The princess is quite good at making up stories."

He just opens his mouth and says it!

Situ Ziyue didn't care whether it was credible or not, as long as Song Xiwan paid the price and was sure that the secret guard died while performing the mission.

She asked fiercely, "Who else would kill my people?"

"The princess has been wronged, and this official will investigate thoroughly. I will not wrongly accuse anyone without solid evidence."

Song Wenyi looked at Situ Ziyue with a cold gaze and roughly understood what was going on.

This group of killers actually dared to file a complaint first!

Situ Ziyue narrowed her cold eyes, disagreeing with this solution and sneered, "Master Song, Miss Song is your daughter."

Song Wenyi frowned, "So what?"

"This princess believes that Lord Song may be harboring suspicions and requests that someone else conduct a thorough investigation into this matter."

Situ Ziyue raised her chin and smiled complacently.

Song Xiwan's eyes suddenly darkened, and she instantly understood why Situ Ziyue was making such a fuss here, and that she didn't want to bring her to justice directly.

The target is Daddy!

Song Wenyi also figured this out and was about to say something when several people walked in from outside.

The leader was Situ Sheng, followed by a eunuch and several guards.

"father!"

Situ Ziyue smiled when she saw Situ Sheng, walked over happily, and looked back at Song Xiwan with a provocative look.

Song Xiwan felt a little nervous, this matter had become a big deal.

Situ Sheng said politely, "Master Song, please forgive me. The guards around my beloved daughter have been with her for many years and have a deep bond with her. She died tragically in Shangjing City, and we must seek justice for her."

Song Wenyi's face was extremely gloomy.

shameless!

His eyes fell on the eunuch behind Situ Sheng again, and he recognized it as Eunuch Xiang who was beside the Queen. His heart sank to the bottom.

Eunuch Xiang stepped forward with the imperial edict, and his shrill voice slowly rang out, "Song Wenyi, receive the edict—"

Song Wenyi had no choice but to come down and listen to the Queen's order.

The others knelt down.

Eunuch Xiang then read out the imperial decree, "The court is currently busy with affairs, and the number of cases at the Dali Temple is increasing. I have specially appointed my uncle, Situ Sheng, to assist the Dali Temple..."

Most of the comments afterwards praised Situ Sheng's ability, and secretly indicated that after Situ Sheng intervened in the affairs of the Dali Temple, his status was equal to Song Wenyi's.

This is clearly a power reduction!

Moreover, the case of Situ Ziyue's secret guard has not been resolved yet, and she insists on suing Song Xiwan, so Song Wenyi cannot interfere in this matter anymore.

Situ Sheng will eventually review the case!

Song Xiwan's eyes were extremely gloomy, and she felt a little dissatisfied with the queen. How could she interfere in the affairs of the Dali Temple?

Song Wenyi was also dissatisfied and delayed receiving the order.

Situ Ziyue finally caught the opportunity to fight back, "Sir Song, what do you mean by this? Are you going to disobey the Queen's order? This is a crime of disobedience."

Once the charges are filed, the entire clan will be executed.

Song Wenyi knew this very well, and no matter how aggrieved he felt, he had no choice but to agree.

"minister……"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Has the Empress forgotten?"

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside.

The expressions of several people present changed.

King Xuan is here!

Song Xiwan looked up and saw him walking in slowly in a dark robe. His stern face looked even more frosty.

Just one glance makes people feel scared and their breathing becomes lighter involuntarily.

Situ Sheng frowned and asked, "Your Highness, do you mean that you think the Queen shouldn't have issued this decree?"

Xie Chengqian glanced at him coldly, his voice icy, "Although my father is critically ill, he has never handed the affairs of the court to the Empress. Does the Empress know the consequences of crossing the line like this?"

Situ Sheng shuddered in his heart, and then was filled with anger.

The consequence is that the queen will be deposed!

But that was when the emperor was still healthy. Now Concubine Shen can interfere in government affairs, so why can't the queen do the same, not to mention that Qing Yuan will ascend the throne in the future.

Situ Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "The Queen's original intention was just to maintain order in the court. She couldn't let an unjust case happen just because the Emperor was critically ill."

"This matter will be handled by the prince himself, and the queen does not need to worry about it."

Xie Chengqian refused to listen and felt even colder all over.

It seemed that if Situ Sheng said another word, he would no longer be polite, even if the other party was the queen.

Situ Sheng was shocked. He had always been in a high position and rarely suffered such humiliation. For a moment, he forgot to keep his rationality.

He demanded angrily, "Is the prince targeting us, or is he going to protect the Song family to the end? You have to give us an explanation!"

We clearly agreed to cooperate, but why does he always act like he's inferior?

Xie Chengqian looked at him coldly and said lightly, "If the uncle of the king can't figure it out, then it's both."

Situ Sheng's body shook slightly. He didn't expect Xie Chengqian to be so resolute.

Situ Ziyue had seen Xie Chengqian defending Song Xiwan, but how could he treat her father in the same way now!

"Does the prince really intend to break off relations with the Situ family?"

Xie Chengqian didn't even glance at her and said coldly, "If I remember correctly, I warned the princess not to push her too far last time."

What's the point of falling out with such a conceited person?
