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

After Xie Chengqian drank a bowl of hot soup as he wished, he said slowly, "We have killed all the people around Qi Wei. It is impossible for them to escape. And it is not that easy for Cangguo to send assassins."

The Song family members were stunned.

What does this mean?

Song Xiwan looks at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose.

He had clearly anticipated this situation, but he had to wait until here to tell you about it.

Xie Chengqian said bluntly: "So, it is very likely that someone is cheating behind the scenes."

"But why do you do this?"

Song Wenyi finally understood what the prince meant, but he still didn't understand his motives.

Xie Chengqian shook his head slightly, "I don't know for now, but it won't be a big deal. We will set off in two days. With the Third Princess in the capital, nothing will happen."

When the matter of going to war was mentioned, Song Wenyi and the others looked unhappy.

Alas, Xiwan is leaving after all.

The atmosphere became a little cooler.

Song Xiwan was well aware of his parents' concerns. He pursed his lips into a straight line, knowing that no matter what he said, it would be difficult to reassure them.

Xie Chengqian's voice rang out again, "Don't worry, I'll send messages back regularly to let you know I'm safe. I won't let you lose any news of Xiwan."

Perhaps it was because Xie Chengqian had the ability to convince people, but Song Wenyi and Xu's expressions relaxed.

"it is good."

Song Junling was unhappy and secretly reminded him, "Your Highness, I am also concerned about Xi Wan's safety."

How come he was missed?

Xie Chengqian raised his eyes and said bluntly: "As the Left Prime Minister, you will be the first to know the military report. There is no need to worry."

Soong Junling had no words to refute.

And he didn't dare to say anything else. The military report definitely didn't reach him directly. The most likely possibility was that it came through the Third Princess. No, His Majesty knew about it.

My father has been secretly testing his relationship with His Majesty several times recently, but Song Junling dared not say much.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was time to set out on the expedition.

Song Xiwan was stunned when she saw the two carriages filled with things prepared by her father, mother and elder brother.

"Isn't this a bit much? What's in it?"

She almost suspected that the entire Xingyue Pavilion had been packed up and taken away!

Xu's face was filled with reluctance as she sighed and explained, "It's not much. Life in the army isn't as convenient as at home. Mother was worried you wouldn't be used to it, so she asked Qiuzhu to send over all the mattresses, as well as some of the ones you're used to."

When Song Xiwan learned that the mattresses had to be taken with them, she didn't think two carriages were too many.

This is clearly less!

"Mother, I'm not going on a trip, there's no need to mobilize so many people."

If other people knew about this, they would probably laugh at her for being too delicate.

Xu disagreed. "Who says fighting on the front lines has to be hard? Only when you're well fed and well-watered can you have the energy to fight the enemy. Don't other people understand this?"

This……

Song Xiwan was really convinced and finally did not let A Niang be sad.

Song Wenyi explained simply, "Father knows you are sensible and smart, but you still have to be careful and keep yourself safe at all times, understand?"

"know."

Song Xiwan agreed to all of them.

She knew that her father and mother had made a lot of efforts to support her.

Song Junling touched her hair, tears welling up in his eyes, "No matter what, remember that Daddy and Mommy and I will be waiting for you to come home."

Song Xiwan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but hug them and then left resolutely.

After getting on the carriage, Song Xiwan couldn't help but shed tears.

Xie Chengqian wiped it off for her with a handkerchief and comforted her: "We will be back soon."

Song Xiwan leaned in his arms and hummed heavily.

The carriage set off, and the journey was bumpy.

Song Xiwan fell asleep soon and vaguely heard some noises coming from outside, which seemed to mention General Guan.

Are you talking about Guan Yao?

Song Xiwan opened her sleepy eyes, looked up and saw Xie Chengqian's sharp jaw, and murmured, "What happened?"

"Guan Yao is awake."

Xie Chengqian's calm voice came to my ears.

Song Xiwan struggled to get up, but he hugged her again and asked, "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Song Xiwan yawned lazily, "She's awake, I have to go over and check on her. After all, I was the one who treated her injury last night."

"There's a military doctor here."

Xie Chengqian refused to let go, and it seemed that he really had no intention of letting her go.

Song Xiwan felt strange, "You don't want me to go?"

Last time, he clearly asked her to treat Guan Yao, why did she suddenly change her mind?

Xie Chengqian's voice was warm and deep. "You are a court official. You don't need to do these things. Last time I had no choice, but you don't have to do it now."

Moreover, a large number of troops have set out now. If Guan Yao is treated again, Xi Wan will need to take action many times in the future.

That makes sense.

"But her injury seems quite serious."

Song Xiwan was still a little hesitant. Even though her first meeting with Guan Yao was not very pleasant, she still hoped that there would be another brave female general on the front line.

Xie Chengqian was firm, "She's out of danger. If this little injury can't be cured, then no one will be able to save her on the battlefield."

The words are cruel, but they are also the truth.

"Okay, I will obey your orders, Your Majesty."

Seeing that he looked serious, Song Xiwan deliberately teased him.

His brows relaxed instantly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he lifted her chin with his fingertips.

"Subordinate?"

Song Xiwan was forced to meet Xie Chengqian's dangerous gaze. He coughed lightly and asked, "I am going to the battle as a military officer, and Your Highness is the commander-in-chief. Is that okay?"

A smile spread across Xie Chengqian's eyes.

"No problem. In that case, you should also abide by some military regulations?"

Song Xiwan blinked blankly, then nodded obediently.

This is indeed necessary. If special treatment is given, it will only affect military morale and make it difficult to win the battle.

Xie Chengqian spoke slowly, "First, obey the commander's orders unconditionally in the army."

Just the first one made Song Xiwan feel something was wrong, especially when she noticed the strange look in Xie Chengqian's eyes, she couldn't help but regret it.

Xie Chengqian added, "Second, you are not allowed to act on your own in the army. You must report any movements to the commander."

Song Xiwan felt that this was a bit harsh and couldn't help but ask, "With so many soldiers, do you have to take care of every one of them?"

Xie Chengqian shook his head, "No, but you are not a soldier."

There was a hint of ambiguity in these words, and Song Xiwan didn't know for a moment whether he meant her official position or the relationship between them.

That's it.

She asked, "What about three?"

“Third, don’t put yourself in danger.”

Song Xiwan's heart skipped a beat, and she became more and more certain that Xie Chengqian's military rules were deliberately targeting her.

She glanced at him silently, "Your Majesty, are these military regulations really arbitrary and made specifically for me?"

"Yes."

Xie Chengqian even admitted it!

When Song Xiwan wanted to protest, a weak and cold voice came from outside, "Your Highness, I have something to ask you."

It’s Guan Yao.

Are you still coming here even though you are seriously injured?
