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

Xie Chengqian didn't even raise his eyelids, "If you don't want to say it, please go back."

He never accepted threats, so he immediately had Situ Ziyue sent away without even giving her a chance to speak.

Situ Ziyue was dragged away in a mess, feeling extremely ashamed and angry!

She obviously wanted to help Xie Chengqian increase his power. So what if the third princess ascended the throne? Her actual power was far less than that of Prince Xuan.

Who knew that King Xuan would be so unkind!

"Your Majesty! You will regret this!"

Situ Ziyue struggled in vain and shouted these words from afar.

Song Xiwan shook her head in disappointment, "This Princess Ziyue has been spoiled too much. She has some scheming but not much. She is always too arrogant."

Anyone who knows how to be patient will definitely be a formidable opponent.

She glanced at Xie Chengqian again, "Aren't you curious about what secrets she has to share with you? Lingnan is developing quite well now, so it would be great to take back the real power."

"Not curious."

Xie Chengqian answered without any hesitation.

Song Xiwan saw through the meaning in his deep eyes at a glance and smiled slightly.

Yes, if Xie Chengqian really wanted Lingnan, he would naturally lead his troops to take it back personally, and there would be no need for Situ Ziyue to be so attentive here.

"But Situ Ziyue doesn't look like she'll give up easily. The Queen will probably be annoyed by this."

Xie Chengqian's eyes turned cold, "This is a good thing."

The Queen paid too much attention to the Situ family. If the situation had not forced her at the time, she might not have dealt with Situ Sheng afterwards.

But because she was weak, the third princess had to bear more.

royal palace.

Situ Ziyue did come to the Queen to complain, and she thought of many excuses along the way.

"Aunt Queen!"

As soon as she saw the queen, she knelt down and cried out in grief.

Situ Zheng was checking the relevant documents about the coronation ceremony. She was very surprised to learn that Zi Yue had come. Seeing her crying like this, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Ziyue, why are you back? Didn't I ask someone to send you home?"

Situ Ziyue talked about her encounter with bandits and speculated that they were not bandits, but someone who deliberately wanted to take her life.

She burst into tears, "Aunt Queen, I almost didn't see you!"

"How ridiculous! Who is so bold?"

Situ Zheng was filled with anger and slammed the table and stood up.

At this time, Xie Qingyuan came over to pay her respects to her mother and said to her, "Please don't be angry, Queen Mother. Imperial Physician Liu said that you need to take good care of your body."

When her eyes fell on Situ Ziyue, her expression became a little cold.

What does this cousin want to do?

Situ Ziyue didn't even bother to salute Xie Qingyuan. She knelt down and complained, "Aunt Queen, now that my father is dead, they want to kill me too. I won't be able to survive if I go back to Lingnan."

"With Ai Jia here, who would dare?"

Considering the past friendship, Situ Zheng still took some care of her brother's direct bloodline.

Situ Ziyue smiled bitterly, "Everyone says I'm the daughter of a criminal. No one dares to attack me in front of the Queen Aunt, but if I leave, I will be killed. I'm really scared."

Situ Zheng pursed her lips and asked someone to help Situ Ziyue up.

This niece used to be the apple of everyone's eye, but now she is so humble and fearful. Situ Zheng feels bad about it.

Besides... there is no conclusive evidence that my brother intends to rebel.

Xie Qingyuan knew her mother well, so she took the initiative to ask Situ Ziyue, "Could it be that you want to stay in the palace with her?"

Then she will definitely disagree!

Situ Ziyue has too many tricks up her sleeve. She will always whisper in the Queen Mother's ear in the future. Who knows what kind of trouble she will stir up.

"No."

Fortunately, Situ Ziyue shook her head.

Xie Qingyuan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when her cousin said, "Zi Yue doesn't want to return to Lingnan anymore. I beg the Queen Aunt to grant me a marriage with Prince Xuan."

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Whose marriage is granted?

Xie Qingyuan had known Situ Ziyue's thoughts for a long time, but she didn't expect that she still had these thoughts until today!

Situ Zheng was also embarrassed. How could she have the ability to interfere in Xie Chengqian's marriage?

"Zi Yue, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to help you, but Prince Xuan and Song Xiwan are in love and have already decided on a marriage, so your aunt should choose another good husband for you."

Situ Ziyue didn't expect that her aunt, the Queen, who had always loved her, would reject her so thoroughly, and she felt very disappointed.

Is there any man in Shangjing City who is more outstanding than Prince Xuan?!

She clenched her fists, suppressed her anger and said, "Zi Yue... is willing to be a concubine."

As long as she could marry into Prince Xuan's mansion, Situ Ziyue would have the confidence to kill Song Xiwan, and then she would be the only concubine by Prince Xuan's side.

Xie Qingyuan's cold voice exposed the truth, "You are willing, but the prince must also be willing."

"So Ziyue requested a marriage!"

Situ Ziyue disdained to say a word to this cold and heartless cousin. Anyway, after the Queen Aunt nodded, Xie Qingyuan had to help her.

Xie Qingyuan sneered, and his majesty was unconsciously revealed.

"If I don't agree, who would dare to grant me a marriage?"

"you!"

Situ Ziyue was so shocked that she forgot to refute, and then she begged the Queen with tears in her eyes, "Aunt, I know I was a little arrogant in the past, and I wasn't very close to my cousin, but how could she treat me like this?"

"How can I treat you? My uncle tried to kill me, and I don't believe you didn't know about it! I turned a blind eye and let Mother send you back to Lingnan. I have already done my utmost. Do you still want me to be unfair to my savior?"

Xie Qingyuan pressed her with each word, her voice like the cold winter wind, and an inviolable aura emanating from her.

Not to mention Situ Ziyue, even Situ Zheng was shocked.

This kind of Qingyuan is unfamiliar to them.

Situ Ziyue came back to her senses and pitifully wanted to beg Situ Zheng, "Aunt..."

Xie Qingyuan gave the order directly, "Come here, escort the princess back to Lingnan. If she escapes again, she will be beheaded!"

The Yulin Guards rushed in instantly and took Situ Ziyue away.

"No! Let me go, Xie Qingyuan, how could you do this to me? I'm your cousin!"

Xie Qingyuan stood there coldly, ignoring everything.

Until the sound faded away.

The hall returned to its usual tranquility.

Situ Zheng finally found her voice and said, "Zi Yue was just too nervous and scared, so she panicked and didn't know what to do. We can talk to her properly, why are you so heartless?"

"Is it that I, your son, am heartless, or is it that your mother is too indulgent?"

Xie Qingyuan asked pointedly.

Situ Zheng's body froze. In a trance, she saw the emperor's figure in Qing Yuan, which seemed more distant and unfamiliar.

She asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

Xie Qingyuan didn't want to anger her mother, but seeing that her mother was still indecisive and believed what Situ Ziyue said, she felt inexplicably angry.

"Your Majesty, are you pushing me to this position for the sake of the empire or for the Situ family? Can't Your Majesty, Your Majesty, see the reality before us?"

She told her mother everything her uncle and Situ Ziyue had done since they came to the capital, and her mother's face turned paler and paler, which made her feel unbearable.

But the truth is cruel.

"Mother, I will be responsible for every citizen of the Great Xia Kingdom in the future."
