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

Everyone in the room was startled.

They all looked over.

It turned out to be a thank you.

Song Xiwan raised an eyebrow and wanted to ask something, but Xie Yi spoke breathlessly, "Princess... Your Majesty, it's coming..."

Song Xiwan: “?”

Come on, just come. If he doesn’t know, he would think that the soldiers of Cang State are attacking.

The others hadn't recovered from what had just happened yet, and when they suddenly heard Xie Yi calling her "Princess", they all looked surprised.

What princess?

The next moment, another figure appeared at the door, and the cold eyes made them tense.

Something that they had almost forgotten slowly came to mind.

I heard that the famous Prince Xuan came to Jingzhou City with his princess some time ago. I heard that the princess was a noble lady from Shangjing City, but I don’t know much else about her.

There was no further movement after that. They all wanted to see what kind of woman could make the prince fall in love with her, but unfortunately they never met.

I just found out today that this Lord Song is actually the Queen of Prince Xuan!

Their faces turned pale.

Thinking of what he had just said, he was a little afraid that the princess would come to settle accounts with them.

Song Xiwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Chengqian at the door. When she was about to say something, Xie Yi stood in front of her first.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry! This is just a conversation between scholars. Those words are just nonsense I said. Please don't take them to heart."

Everyone: "?"

Song Xiwan was confused and sensed something was wrong from these words.

What exactly did Xie Yi say to Xie Chengqian?

"Step aside."

Xie Chengqian looked at Xie Yi who was standing in front of him, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He finally found an opportunity to see Xi Wan, and he couldn't let him cause trouble here.

Xie Yi felt that these two words were full of threats. He explained with wide eyes, "You don't believe me? Fine, but you should at least believe the princess. How could she be interested in people here?"

Literary talents: "?"

Everyone looked at Xie Yi with anger in their eyes and was very dissatisfied with him.

They knew they couldn't compare to King Xuan, but was it really okay to say that in front of them?

Song Xiwan roughly understood what was going on. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he gave a look to the servant beside him.

The servant immediately understood what the princess meant and drove all the people away.

Including gratitude.

In the end, only Song Xiwan and Xie Chengqian were left in the room.

"What's this about?"

Song Xiwan sat back in his chair and took a sip of tea. It was quite difficult to communicate with that group of pedantic geniuses.

Xie Chengqian showed no sign of guilt, "Xie Yi said that this group of talented people admire you."

"Cough-cough-"

Song Xiwan almost choked on the tea.

Careless.

I've known for a long time that Xie Yi's brain is not the same as that of normal people. She shouldn't have listened to these words while drinking tea.

She was speechless for a moment, "Do you believe it?"

"Ah."

Xie Chengqian nodded helplessly, his deep eyes staring at her.

A sense of grievance circulates in it.

Song Xiwan saw through his disguise at a glance and said unhappily, "Then you and he are the same type of person. No wonder you cared so much about him before."

Seeing that she didn't fall into the trap, Xie Chengqian touched his nose and stopped pretending.

"Are you done with your work today?"

Song Xiwan hummed softly and talked about the situation just now. "I have been investigating for a long time. The few people I found are all relatively down-to-earth and not arrogant or impatient. They should be able to do the job."

There were also quite a few women who came to enroll in the girls' school.

This was beyond Song Xiwan's expectations. She thought that the women in Jingzhou City would be more law-abiding than those in Shangjing City, but she didn't expect that they were less bound by dogma.

This way, it is much more convenient.

Xie Chengqian's eyes flashed with a strange look when he heard this, "So you can rest now?"

Song Xiwan sensed the hidden meaning in his words and felt that something was wrong from the beginning.

"Have I neglected you recently?"

"Correct."

His answer was affirmative as always.

Instead, Song Xiwan was speechless. She stared at him in silence for a moment, and finally gave in. "Okay, after I'm done with these few days, I'll go around Jingzhou City. I heard there's a peach blossom forest and a marriage temple outside the city."

These words immediately smoothed out the wrinkles between Xie Chengqian's brows, and the corners of his lips involuntarily curled up slightly.

He nodded slightly, "Okay."

Outside.

Xie Yi was still trying to figure out what to do with Mu Yun, and he said anxiously, "We should go in and take a look. If a fight breaks out, we can each hold one of them back."

Mu Yun was speechless.

"We can't fight."

But this gratitude is also a stubborn donkey, insisting on making some impossible assumptions.

He said righteously, "I know you're defending your prince, but the princess is so small, one punch from her would kill her."

Mu Yun: “…”

For a moment, he didn't know whether Xie Yi was overly worried or underestimated the princess.

As far as he knew, the poison hidden in the princess's body could kill someone in an instant, so no matter how powerful the prince's martial arts skills were, it would be useless.

But how can I express my gratitude with these words?

Forget it.

"Someone! Take him away!"

Xie Yi was carried away by two guards without any chance to fight back.

Even from a distance, he could still hear his curses, "You heartless guys, you've forgotten all the kindness the princess has shown you and actually left her in danger."

The guards could no longer bear it and covered his mouth with their hands.

Completely quiet.

Song Xiwan also heard those words when she came out, and she felt mixed emotions.

Saying thank you for worrying about her seems completely wrong.

She said to Xie Chengqian in a cryptic way, "Let's find him something to do."

"Makes sense."

Xie Chengqian also felt that the thanks were too annoying, so he assigned him a task that day to go to Lincheng to do some work.

I heard that Xie Yi was cursing when he left, and he was willing to leave only after confirming that Song Xiwan was really fine, but he still kept making harsh remarks.

If Prince Xuan dared to bully the princess, he would report her to the capital even if it cost him his life.

Song Xiwan was very surprised.

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who supported him all along. Why do I seem to be his benefactor now?"

"He might be missing Prince Qi's Mansion."

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian said something incoherent.

What does Prince Qi’s Mansion have to do with her?

A flash of inspiration flashed through Song Xiwan's mind, and her eyes widened involuntarily, "You mean, Xie Yi figured out that I was pretending to be Xiaojiu?"

Xie Chengqian's eyes were filled with confusion as he said softly, "That's possible."

Song Xiwan couldn't believe it. "Is he that smart?"

Then I thought, Xie Yi has indeed become much more mature in recent days, although he still makes some jokes occasionally.

Given Xie Yi's nature, if he had any doubts, he should have asked directly.

Xie Chengqian said, "If he doesn't say anything, then just assume you don't know and don't dwell on it."
