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

"You wait for me!"

Song Lingxi finally threw down these words and left angrily.

Peace returned to the palace.

Xu's brows were still furrowed. She believed that this matter had little to do with Song Wenyi, but if it continued like this, she was afraid that she would be implicated as well.

"Why were you arrested all of a sudden?"

Song Xiwan's expression tightened, and she said slowly, "I'll go ask around. Mother, don't worry, and Grandmother, don't worry about her."

Mrs. Xu felt very unfamiliar when she saw her daughter's cold and determined eyes.

But in the end, Xu didn't say anything, just warned, "Be careful."

Song Xiwan nodded, asked someone to prepare a carriage, and planned to go to the Dali Temple first to ask his father about the details.

But halfway through the journey, the carriage stopped.

She frowned and asked, "Why stop?"

It was Mu Yun's voice that answered her, "Miss Song, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan invites you."

Song Xiwan was shocked!

It seems that Xie Chengqian had guessed that she would go to the Dali Temple a long time ago and sent people to intercept her halfway, but why did he meet her at this time?

"Miss Song?"

Mu Yun didn't get a response, so he called out again out of curiosity.

The prince is waiting in the private room!

After arresting Song Kangwen, he first tortured her into confessing, and easily obtained her testimony. He then returned to the palace and changed into new clothes for the new season. He was also not allowed to guard Miss Song on the road leading to the Dali Temple.

I'm so busy.

Song Xiwan asked calmly, "Where is the prince?"

Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Miss Song did not refuse.

"I am waiting for Miss Song at Yaoyue Residence."

"understood."

Song Xiwan agreed and asked the carriage to change its route to Yaoyueju.

It is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. The worst case scenario is that Xie Chengqian has the memories of those three years and knows that she is back.

If that's the case, he would probably kill her to silence her!

A hint of coldness flashed in Song Xiwan's eyes. Before he took action, she must kill Xie Chengqian at all costs.

After getting off the carriage, Song Xiwan still had a cold face, which made Mu Yun puzzled.

Is it his delusion?

Miss Song seems to be in a bad mood today.

"Your Majesty, Miss Song is here."

Mu Yun knocked on the door and reported, then opened the door for Song Xiwan.

Song Xiwan walked in with a gloomy look and saw a man in a crimson robe standing by the window. She was so startled that she turned around and asked Mu Yun, "Did we go the wrong way?"

Does this evil-looking man have any connection with Xie Chengqian?

Mu Yun was quite satisfied. The prince was already extremely handsome, and with a little dressing up, there would be no one more handsome than him in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

"Yes."

After Mu Yun responded, he quickly stepped out and closed the door.

At this time, Xie Chengqian turned around and invited in a deep voice, "Miss Song, please sit down."

Song Xiwan was stunned where she stood.

This scarlet dress completely concealed the murderous aura that Xie Chengqian originally had. Only half of his black hair stood up, and the rest was scattered.

Moreover, his appearance was outstanding. His usually tense face was softened at this moment, and there was a hint of smile in his slightly raised eyes, which was inexplicably bewitching.

Song Xiwan's heart beat faster unconsciously. Why did this man look so much like the handsome man described in the storybook?

This is not the Xie Chengqian she knows!

Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Xie Chengqian coughed lightly and asked, "Miss Song, are you feeling unwell?"

Could it be that the clothes he is wearing today don’t suit him?

Song Xiwan came back to his senses, and with a forced laugh, he sat down and said, "No, I was just wondering why the prince wanted to see me specifically."

Something is wrong. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal!

She needs to be careful.

"I remember that Miss Song was particularly concerned about the case of the Cang Kingdom spy, so I invited her to come and tell her a few things."

Xie Chengqian brewed tea skillfully just like last time.

Song Xiwan tensed up even more, and responded calmly, "This case has far-reaching implications. Is it inappropriate for Your Highness to reveal this to me privately?"

Xie Chengqian raised his eyes and asked again: "Don't you want to know?"

Of course Song Xiwan wanted to know!

But she couldn't let Xie Chengqian lead her by the nose.

"Xi Wan is ignorant and doesn't know what the prince wants."

From the peach blossom forest to delivering hunting clothes, and then to today, Xie Chengqian seems to be throwing out bait bit by bit. What is he planning?

Xie Chengqian lowered his eyelashes, creating a small shadow that just concealed the emotions in his eyes.

"This prince wants to make friends with Miss Song."

"what?"

Song Xiwan didn't expect this answer and was shocked.

When Xie Chengqian opened his eyes again, his pupils were dark and gloomy, and he said in a calm voice, "A painting of 'A Solitary Boat' at the palace banquet made this prince very interested in Miss Song."

Song Xiwan: “?”

What is this nonsense?

Xie Chengqian smiled faintly and added, "As for the matter of the spy, Miss Song's martial arts skills are so great that she can injure my subordinates, so I am also very curious about what Miss Song experienced when she was stranded outside."

Song Xiwan's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that she guessed wrong?

No, Xie Chengqian might also be testing!

She feigned composure and replied, "Your Highness has led troops in battle for many years and must have seen many extraordinary people and events. What does Xiwan's little incident mean?"

"Miss Song is different."

Xie Chengqian murmured in a deep voice.

Song Xiwan's whole body trembled, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, her voice trembling unconsciously.

"What's the difference?"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The two looked into each other's eyes.

Xie Chengqian clearly caught the panic hidden deep in her eyes, and her slightly pale face made the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, and his heart ached slightly.

She was afraid of him.

He didn't dare to gamble.

He can't lose her again!

Xie Chengqian clenched the teacup between his fingertips and finally said, "Miss Song is the daughter of Master Song."

Song Xiwan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, slowly settled down at this moment. He frowned in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"The Cang Kingdom spy case has far-reaching implications. It's difficult for me alone to bring so many officials to justice. However, if we don't eradicate these cancers, the country will be in turmoil."

Every word Xie Chengqian said made sense, and Song Xiwan agreed with him.

In recent years, wars have been frequent and the people in border cities have been displaced, which is mostly related to this group of greedy and tyrannical officials.

Moreover, behind them is the Second Prince.

Does Xie Chengqian want to win over her father?

"Why didn't the prince just tell my father directly?"

"Sir Song is too straightforward and easily broken. Moreover, I believe Miss Song has great ambitions and is a more suitable candidate."

Song Xiwan twitched the corners of her mouth, a little overwhelmed by Xie Chengqian's praise.

However, if he was really Xie Chengqian from his previous life, he shouldn't talk so much nonsense, right?

Is it really just to build power?

"Xi Wan thanks His Majesty for his trust, but this matter is still inappropriate."

Song Xiwan was wary and felt that it was too dangerous to cooperate with Xie Chengqian.

Xie Chengqian was not annoyed, and even left room for maneuver, "If Miss Song changes her mind, I will welcome you anytime."

Song Xiwan didn't say anything else and got up and left.

After confirming that Xie Chengqian did not come back, Song Xiwan should have been happy, but she still felt sad in her heart.

She once had eyes only for him and offered her sincere heart but never received a single bit of tenderness from Xie Chengqian. But now, in order to win over his father, he can be so kind to her.

Perhaps, she has never understood Xie Chengqian.
