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

Song Xiwan simply put on her makeup and went out directly.

All the way to Dali Temple.

Just then, I saw my father's men, who asked in surprise, "Miss Song is here again? Are you here to see Master Song?"

Song Xiwan carefully observed the other person's expression and found nothing unusual.

So what is the situation of the Cang Kingdom spies now?

Song Xiwan was about to ask, but unexpectedly saw Mu Yun coming out of the Dali Temple, walking up to her and bowing respectfully.

"Miss Song, you are here."

Song Xiwan had rarely come into contact with Mu Yun in her previous life, and naturally had no good impression of him considering that he was Xie Chengqian's personal bodyguard.

"What's the matter?"

The cold tone made Mu Yun confused. He didn't offend Miss Song, right?

Mu Yun remembered the prince's instructions and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "The prince is waiting for you inside."

Song Xiwan's wrinkles became more pronounced. When he met the curious gazes of his father's subordinates, he finally said nothing and followed Mu Yun in.

It just so happens that she wants to see him too!

The two walked into the Dali Temple one after the other. Song Xiwan asked casually, "Why did the prince want to see me?"

"I do not know either."

Mu Yun shook his head at first, and then was surprised that Miss Song took the initiative to talk to him. Remembering that the prince liked Miss Song's paintings, he said a few more words.

"However, the prince has been in a bit of a strange mood recently, so please bear with me, Miss Song."

"eccentric?"

Song Xiwan felt nervous. Could it be that it was really as she thought?

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain Xie Chengqian's behavior!

Mu Yun didn't know why the prince asked him to wait for Miss Song at the door, but the prince liked Miss Song's paintings so much that he would go back to the study every day to look at them for a while. It wouldn't be a problem, right?

He said vaguely, "Actually, Miss Song, there's no need to worry too much. The prince should have become more kind and easy to get along with."

Song Xiwan seriously suspected that Mu Yun was talking nonsense.

If Xie Chengqian is kind and easy to get along with, is there still a cold-blooded and heartless person in this world?

Seeing her look of disbelief, Mu Yun didn't explain. After all, what happened last night was a secret.

He racked his brains all night long. The prince was so caring and considerate of an assassin. If that wasn't kindness, what else could it be?

Could it be that he fell in love with an assassin?

As they were talking, they had already reached the pavilion.

Xie Chengqian was wearing a dark robe and brewing tea carefully. The rising mist made him look gentler.

Song Xiwan was slightly stunned.

How many times had she looked at Xie Chengqian's back from afar like this?

So close yet so far away.

"Miss Song, please."

Mu Yun called out to him, and Song Xiwan came back to his senses. His face turned cold again, and he walked over to salute.

"Xi Wan pays homage to His Majesty."

Xie Chengqian looked up when he heard the voice, and caught her cold look, and knew that she was angry.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

There were only the two of them in the pavilion, and Song Xiwan didn't hold back and asked directly, "Did the prince predict that I would come?"

"Yes."

Xie Chengqian was also unambiguous and admitted it decisively.

This frankness not only did not make Song Xiwan happy, but instead made her feel like she was being fooled.

"Then Your Majesty also knows why I am here?"

Xie Chengqian hummed softly, handed her a cup of tea, and reminded her, "It's warm, you can drink it."

Song Xiwan felt like he had kicked a ball of cotton, which was very frustrating!

Let’s talk business. What kind of tea would you like?

But Song Xiwan was aware of the difference in status between them. Even if she was angry today, she could not speak rudely to King Xuan.

Song Xiwan took a sip to save face, and felt a little better.

"Can we get down to business now, Your Majesty?"

Xie Chengqian knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, this matter would definitely not be resolved.

He said calmly, "It was me last night."

Song Xiwan was stunned.

She hadn't asked yet, so how come he just said it out loud?

"I'm investigating a case and don't know why Miss Song suddenly appeared. In a hurry, I had no choice but to knock her out and send her back."

Xie Chengqian's usual cold voice slowly sounded, leaving Song Xiwan speechless.

In this case, it was she who was obstructing Xie Chengqian from performing his official duties.

"Where's the spy?"

Song Xiwan only cares about this matter.

Xie Chengqian's voice remained calm. "He's still in prison, but Miss Song knows him? How did you know he was a spy and that he would pass through the peach blossom forest?"

The barrage of questions made Song Xiwan feel a chill down her spine. The idea of ​​rebirth was too absurd; no one would believe it if she told him about it.

Now it seems that she is more like the one who is picking up the spies.

"I once heard about the Cang Kingdom spy case in a teahouse. I knew it was a serious matter. I also learned that the spy might escape from prison on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wanted to go and take a look."

Xie Chengqian persisted, asking, "Oh? Where did Miss Song get the news? Why didn't you inform Lord Song or me right away?"

There was a flash of displeasure in Song Xiwan's eyes.

Is this doubting her?

"I'm just hearing rumors, and I'm making a big fuss about requesting troops. Your Highness, will you believe me? I'm just doing what a citizen of the Great Xia Kingdom should do."

Xie Chengqian stopped talking and didn't ask any more questions. "Don't misunderstand, Miss Song. I just want to remind you to be more cautious in your future actions, otherwise you will be involved in some trouble."

Song Xiwan pursed her lips. She was indeed reckless last night. She didn't expect that Xie Chengqian was also lying in ambush.

Then how did he know the news?

Song Xiwan couldn't ask that question, so she pretended to be curious and asked, "What are your plans next, Your Majesty?"

As far as she knew, the relationships behind this spy were complicated, and it would not be easy to eradicate it.

"What do you want to do by asking this, Miss Song?"

Xie Chengqian paused while drinking his tea and looked up at her with deep eyes.

Song Xiwan has no reason to investigate the case, so it is definitely not okay for her to interfere in the Dali Temple case for no reason. Xie Chengqian now suspects her again.

That's it.

"I'm just asking. Since you don't want to talk about it, Xiwan won't bother you any further."

Song Xiwan got up and left.

Xie Chengqian watched her leave and ultimately did not try to keep her.

At this time, Mu Yan walked in and reported, "Your Highness, the contact we captured last night has confessed, but we don't know whether what he said is true or not."

This spy is so spineless, he confessed everything in just one night!

And he also said a shocking name, who could believe it?

"Don't worry about whether it's true or not, just report it."

There was a coldness in Xie Chengqian's eyes, completely different from the gentleness just now.

Only by completely overturning everything can he and Xiwan escape the fate of their previous life.

Mu Yan didn't dare to object and went to do it immediately.

……

Song Xiwan returned home feeling depressed. When she reached the door, she saw a lot of people gathered.

What's happening?

"Girl, you're finally back!"

Qiu Zhu suddenly appeared from the side, and when he saw her, he pulled her aside.

Song Xiwan asked with a gloomy face, "Did they bully my mother again?"

"no!"

Qiu Zhu hurriedly shook her head, then whispered, "A butcher named Zhang suddenly showed up and said that the girl was his child bride, and now he wants to marry you."

The Zhang family’s butcher?

Song Xiwan was stunned. Some dusty and dark memories gradually emerged in her mind, and her heart tightened slightly.

"Where are they now?"
