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

in the palace.

The emperor narrowed his sharp eyes and looked at the memorial handed over by Xie Chengqian. His face became more and more gloomy. Finally, he slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"absurd!"

Xie Chengqian stood as steady as a pine tree, without a trace of fear.

The Emperor demanded angrily, "Is this the answer you gave me after several days of investigation? Do you have any idea what the court will do if we continue to investigate this list?"

"Your Majesty, I am only handling the case impartially."

Xie Chengqian's cold and deep voice echoed in the imperial study.

The emperor was very upset. His son was too good at hiding his emotions, and he had a reputation as a warrior, which made him guard against him.

"Is this a fair and impartial case, or a personal revenge?!"

Several of them are the second prince’s staff!

Xie Chengqian raised his cold, dark eyes and said word by word, "This son of yours has absolutely no intention of deceiving the emperor. If you do not believe me, please send someone to investigate thoroughly."

The emperor looked at Xie Chengqian with a deep expression, and after a moment he said, "This case is your responsibility, so go and investigate it thoroughly."

"My son, I obey."

Xie Chengqian was not surprised at all.

If everyone on the list is involved in the Cang Kingdom spy case, it means that the fortunes of the Great Xia Kingdom have also come to an end, and no matter how big a wave it causes, it must be investigated.

The emperor simply doesn't trust him, or maybe he's wary of him.

The emperor was really tired of seeing his expressionless face and warned him coldly, "You must remember, if anything goes wrong, I can't protect you."

However, Xie Chengqian still said calmly and steadily: "Your son will definitely take all the responsibility."

The emperor was really speechless and sent him away.

After leaving the palace, Xie Chengqian returned to the Dali Temple and immediately sent people to arrest all the court officials on the list for investigation.

Among them was Song Kangwen.

When Song Kangwen was arrested, he was out having a good time with others and his clothes were in disarray.

He yelled angrily, "What are you doing? Do you know who I am?!"

"Master Song, please come with us. If you continue to resist, we will have no choice but to take action directly."

The guards of the Dali Temple were polite to Song Kangwen for Song Wenyi's sake.

Song Kangwen had already drunk some wine, and he couldn't tell what was being said, and he even slammed the table and started yelling at the guards.

Finally he was forcibly taken away.

When the news reached back home, Mrs. Meng was horrified.

Song Lingxi wasn't much better off. She asked in a trembling voice, "Why was Dad arrested for no reason? Didn't he just get a promotion?"

"I didn't know that the people from Dali Temple suddenly showed up!"

The servant was so frightened by the scene that his face turned pale.

Song Lingxi exclaimed, "Dali Temple? Why did my uncle arrest my father?!"

The servant replied in panic, "They say the Second Master is suspected of collaborating with the enemy."

Meng almost fainted from fright.

If they were charged with treason, their entire family would probably be executed.

Song Lingxi burst into tears, her face pale as she asked, "Mom, what should we do now?"

She thought her father's life would be bright after his promotion, but how come he is about to be beheaded in just two days?

Meng's body was limp, and she hurriedly said, "Quick, go find your grandmother."

The Dali Temple is Song Wenyi's territory, he can't just stand by and watch someone die!

……

the other side.

When Song Xiwan learned about this, he was surprised.

"Second uncle was arrested?"

Qiu Zhu nodded quickly and said, "Not only was the Second Master arrested, but also several officials. It's said that it's related to the Cang Kingdom's spies. Now there's a big commotion outside."

Song Xiwan asked someone to investigate further and found out who had been arrested.

They were all prominent figures in the court later on!

It seems that many of them were people that the Second Prince valued, and they helped the Second Prince grow his power in the next three years. How could they be wiped out without a sound?

There were complicated emotions in Song Xiwan's eyes. This was most likely not done by her father. The only one who had the courage and ability to do this was Xie Chengqian.

Song Xiwan's breathing stopped.

There were some things she could no longer hide from herself.

Xie Chengqian is probably the same as her...

"Miss, the old lady and the second lady have returned home and are crying and making a fuss in the eldest lady's yard."

Chunxiu ran all the way over and finished her words before she even arrived.

Song Xiwan regained consciousness and had no time to care about Xie Chengqian's affairs for the time being. He walked towards A Niang's yard with a gloomy face.

He must be coming here at this time because of his second uncle's matter.

As soon as Song Xiwan arrived, she saw the old lady crying with anger in her voice, pointing at her mother and cursing.

"How can you be so cruel? You wanted to split up the family, and Kang Wen has granted you your wish, yet you still want to kill him!"

Xu responded calmly, "Mother, be careful with your words! If this gets out, how will others view Wen Yi, the Minister of Justice?"

The old lady refused to listen and continued to curse, "Well, at this point, all you care about is your reputation. Do you not care about Kang Wen's death?"

Song Xiwan's eyes were extremely cold, and he walked over to protect A Niang.

"My mother is responsible for my second uncle's life or death? Grandmother, listen to me, is this reasonable?"

"It's you! You must be the bastard who instigated this. You targeted Lingxi before, and now you're even trying to take your second uncle's life! Why didn't you die out here earlier?"

The old lady seemed to have lost her mind, and all the words hidden in her heart came out.

The last sentence made Xu very angry, "Mom! How can you say that about Xi Wan?"

"Am I wrong? This bitch is an ominous creature. Ever since she came back, the mansion has been in chaos because of her. She's a disaster!"

The old lady was filled with anger and kept saying harsh words.

Even though Xu was a good-tempered person, her face turned red with anger.

Song Xiwan had experienced her past life and no longer cared about these things. She just felt sorry for her father and mother.

"No matter how much Grandma insults me, I can't save Second Uncle. Instead of venting my anger here, it's better to let Second Aunt think of a solution."

These words touched the old lady's sore spot, and she simply sat on the ground and threatened them like a shrew.

"If you don't get Kang Wen out, I will die here today."

Song Xiwan just wanted to sneer. Normally, the old lady always talked about noble upbringing and being a lady from a noble family, but now she really didn't care about it at all.

Song Xiwan ordered in a cold voice, "Grandmother misses home, and as her granddaughter, of course, she is very happy. Come, send the old lady back to the courtyard to live, and ask the doctor to come over."

Chunxiu went to do it immediately.

The old lady understood what Song Xiwan meant and shouted, "Just try to touch me!"

"Send it."

Song Xiwan gave the order in a deep voice, with an authority that could not be refuted.

The servants quickly "invited" the old lady to leave.

Song Lingxi was too late to stop her, so she could only confront Song Xiwan, "Sister, what do you mean by this?"

"Sister Lingxi, you've been away for a few days, are you missing home? Your yard is still available to you."

Song Xiwan sneered at her, with a hint of danger in his voice.

Song Lingxi was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak, but she was unwilling to give up!
