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

The cold and murderous words made the two people from the Situ family feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!

I was so cold that my heart was trembling.

Situ Sheng calls himself the emperor's uncle and is also the king in Lingnan. How could he have been humiliated so many times?

Moreover, this King Xuan acts as if he is insignificant, which is really infuriating.

If he were in Lingnan, Situ Sheng would have already ordered people to capture Xie Chengqian and punish him severely to vent his anger!

However, Shangjing City was not his territory, and he only brought a few hundred elite soldiers with him this time. The main force was in a camp ten miles away and could not arrive in time to rescue him.

Situ Sheng had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being and shouted coldly, "I will definitely go to the palace to inform the Empress about what happened to the Prince today."

Xie Chengqian's expression was calm, as if he didn't care at all.

This made Situ Sheng's anger almost explode. After glaring at Xie Chengqian, he left with the reluctant Situ Ziyue.

As soon as she walked out of the Dali Temple, Situ Ziyue stamped her feet in anger, "Dad, are we just leaving like this? The prince is really going too far!"

"What else can we do if we don't leave? He still has the Purple Gold Guards who can kill people without them even realizing it."

Situ Sheng was certainly annoyed, but saving his life was the most important thing.

Situ Ziyue gnashed her teeth and cursed, "It's all the fault of that slut Song Xiwan! What on earth did the prince like about her?"

Situ Sheng's eyes were cold and his voice was filled with murderous intent. "We were careless before, but it doesn't matter. We still have a chance."

Anyway, they will not leave Shangjing City for the time being. They will settle accounts with the Song family after supporting Qingyuan to take the throne.

Situ Ziyue's patience has almost run out. Killing a slave girl was not such a difficult thing when she was in Lingnan before!

"So what should we do now?"

"Enter the palace."

Situ Sheng had already made up his mind that his sister, the queen, trusted Xie Chengqian too much, which was why such a humiliating thing happened today.

There was no way he would let his sister continue to be confused!

At this time, inside the Dali Temple.

King Xuan's secret guard informed them of Situ Sheng's whereabouts.

Song Xiwan pursed her lips tightly, looking unhappy.

Just now, they almost took away my father, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. A mere uncle of the emperor could actually decide whether a court official would stay or go.

The queen was also confused because she stretched her hand too far.

She said in a deep voice, "Once he enters the palace, he will definitely confuse right and wrong in front of the Queen. Then there will be another entanglement."

Song Xiwan was really tired of dealing with these people. There was obviously a Qi Wei waiting to be dealt with, so why did they still waste her time and energy.

"will not."

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian answered calmly.

Song Xiwan and Song Wenyi couldn't help but look over, their eyes filled with confusion.

Without waiting for their detailed questions, Xie Chengqian's voice slowly rang out, "The Queen doesn't have any real power and won't act recklessly."

This time, letting Situ Sheng act recklessly was just to show some sincerity, and perhaps there was also a hint of testing him.

If you still choose to go against him at this point, Xie Chengqian doesn't mind changing the crown prince.

Song Xiwan understood his implication and was slightly shocked.

At this moment, I clearly realized how important it is to be in power!

"Your Highness should be careful. This Situ Sheng is not an ordinary person."

Song Wenyi had been an official in this court for many years and was quite familiar with some dirty things. If Situ Sheng could become the king in Lingnan, his methods must have been ruthless.

Xie Chengqian's eyebrows softened a little, "Okay, I won't let Xiwan worry."

Song Xiwan: “…”

How did this get to her?

Song Wenyi was quite satisfied with this answer. In this chaotic world, he was glad that the husband Xiwan chose had the ability to protect her.

He also cordially invited, "Today is the Little New Year, why don't you go to the Song Mansion with me for a simple meal?"

Xie Chengqian was slightly stunned.

He hadn't celebrated the New Year properly for a long time since his mother passed away, let alone the Little New Year, and he had never had the chance to have dinner with Xiwan's family in his previous life.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so suddenly.

Xie Chengqian did not agree immediately, but turned his gaze to Xi Wan, asking for her consent.

Song Xiwan was also surprised by her father's decision, but when she thought about Xie Chengqian spending the New Year's Eve alone in the palace, she did feel a little reluctant.

She smiled and said, "Father has spoken, why don't you just comply, Your Highness?"

"it is good."

After getting the approval, Xie Chengqian agreed without hesitation, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

When the three of them were riding in a carriage back to the Song Mansion, Situ Sheng had already rushed to the palace without stopping and arrived at Kunning Palace unexpectedly smoothly.

As soon as he entered the room, he said in grief and anger: "Please, Queen, make the decision for me!"

Situ Zheng was startled by the voice. Seeing that her brother was actually kneeling to salute, she hurried forward to support him.

"Brother, why are you doing this? Let's talk it over nicely!"

Situ Sheng remained motionless, raising his crimson eyes to accuse Xie Chengqian, "I followed the Queen's orders to go and help Lord Song resolve his problems, but Prince Xuan suddenly appeared and accused the Queen of interfering in state affairs. This is simply too much!"

He exaggerated the incident at the Dali Temple and reported it to the Queen, hoping that the Queen would convict Xie Chengqian and suppress Prince Xuan's arrogance.

Situ Zheng was stunned, "Is Prince Xuan really like this?"

"Absolutely true! Ziyue was also present. If the Queen doesn't believe it, she can be summoned to the palace!"

Situ Sheng became more and more excited.

The queen pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes gradually becoming solemn.

This reaction made Situ Sheng feel a little cold in his heart. He was a little unsure of what she meant. Shouldn't he be angry and summon Prince Xuan to the palace for questioning?

"Queen..."

"Brother, Prince Xuan is not a reckless and arrogant person. He must have his reasons for doing this. You'd better not interfere in the affairs of the Dali Temple."

The Queen gave a decisive reply, her tone quite serious.

Situ Sheng's body softened, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Zheng'er! Do you know what this tolerance means? What will happen to Qingyuan in the future?"

In disappointment, he didn't even call her Queen.

If they give in now, even if Qing Yuan fights for the throne, she will inevitably be controlled by Xie Chengqian. What way will the Situ family have to survive?

Situ Zheng frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with her brother's attitude. It seemed that his rejection of King Xuan had reached its peak, and even his rationality was gone.

She said with certainty: "Brother, King Xuan would not do that."

With Xie Chengqian's ability, if he was thinking about the throne, why would it be their turn to fight for it?

Moreover, Concubine Shen's power has not been completely eliminated. If they offend Prince Xuan at this time, they will only be forced into a dead end.

But Situ Sheng didn't believe it.

He thought that Prince Xuan was just a prince, so what if he commanded a large army? The emperor, who was still hanging on by a thread, did not like Prince Xuan at all.

My sister is still too timid and cautious!

Situ Sheng couldn't help but say something in anger, "If you were so determined to protect Prince Xuan, then why did you write to me and ask me to come here and suffer this humiliation for you?"

"Brother!"

Situ Zheng looked sad.

She had to endure all of this alone in the palace, and had to ask for help from her brother who had unconditionally protected her in the past. How could he say this now?

Situ Sheng regretted it the moment he said it, but he still turned his face away angrily.

He said coldly, "I will never let King Xuan control you and Qing Yuan!"
