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

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

The girls' school in Jingzhou City has been fully built, and several surrounding cities have also begun to promote girls' schools.

Song Xiwan received the letter sent from Shangjing City, glanced at the people beside him, and murmured quietly, "It's the autumn hunt again this year. I'm afraid we have to go back to Shangjing City."

According to the date, Xie Qingyuan is about to give birth.

Ever since she became pregnant, the matter could no longer be concealed. The entire court was in an uproar, insisting that His Majesty fill the harem and find the child's father.

The eldest brother was so angry that anyone who dared to mention this matter would be in trouble within half a month.

There were cases of house searches and imprisonment.

At first, no one understood what was going on, but after a few more people were infected, they realized something was wrong!

Prime Minister Song was doing this to help His Majesty eliminate dissidents. If they continued talking about it, they might lose their heads, so they simply tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

Anyway, your majesty's children must be of royal blood, so it would be good to support them to ascend to the throne in the future.

The situation in Beijing gradually stabilized.

As for my mother, she went to the palace every few days. I guess she noticed something, but she didn't express any opinion. It must be my eldest brother who said something.

Now that some time has passed, Song Xiwan also thinks about going back.

After all, giving birth is like going through the gates of hell, so she has to watch from the sidelines to feel at ease.

Xie Chengqian nodded and said, "I have asked someone to prepare, and we can set off tomorrow."

"So fast!"

Song Xiwan showed surprise, then lowered her head and smiled, "It seems that the intelligence agency established by His Majesty is still not as fast as your people in delivering information."

Xie Chengqian was indeed well aware of all the news in Shangjing City.

It's not that I want to fight for power. In this world, even if you want to get out of it unscathed, you must leave some room for yourself to avoid getting into trouble.

"It just so happens that I haven't been back for half a year."

Song Xiwan sighed softly, "Yeah, time flies. I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Shangjing for a while after I go back this time. Dad doesn't seem to be in good health, I need to take a good look at him."

The capital city is full of people she cares about, and she can't leave them behind easily.

Xie Chengqian hugged her lightly and followed her wishes.

Wherever Xiwan is, that's where he is.

The next day.

They set out to return to the capital.

After the governor of the prefecture learned about this, he hurried over to see me off, and he felt a little regretful, "Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could prepare in advance?"

Song Xiwan knew that the governor's favorite thing was to give banquets, so she smiled helplessly and said, "No need to be extravagant, just save some money to take good care of the girls' school."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will do my utmost to protect the Girls' Academy!"

The governor of the state promised with confidence.

He was still a little reluctant to leave. He had originally thought that the prince and princess were fierce and unreasonable people, but after spending some time with them, he found that they were so easy-going.

With them around, those so-called gangsters didn't dare to come to Jingzhou City and make trouble, so he was able to live a very comfortable life as the governor of the state.

Ugh!

From now on, it all depends on himself. The more the governor thought about it, the more he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

Song Xiwan: “?”

Are you so reluctant?

Before I could finish comforting the governor, another man came riding up ahead. I heard a thank you shout from afar.

"Are you leaving?"

Although we were quite far apart, I could still hear the anxiety in his words.

"Uu——"

In an instant, Xie Yi's horse stopped in front of them.

His forehead was still covered in sweat. After running around in several cities for the past few months, his face had become much darker and he no longer had the delicate and noble look of a young man.

Song Xiwan felt quite emotional watching Xie Yi grow up.

She nodded and said, "Yes, we are going back to the capital."

"Why are you so anxious?"

Xie Yi's face wrinkled into a ball, and he was a little overwhelmed by this sudden news.

He has been working under King Xuan for the past few months and has long been accustomed to getting along with the two of them. He thought he had no home, but he could still feel a little warmth from them.

I’m afraid we won’t be able to see each other again for a long time after this departure.

Seeing Xie Yi's eyes were red, Song Xiwan said, "Don't worry. We came to Jingzhou City mainly for the girls' school. Now that everything is built, it's time to go back."

"what about me?"

Xie Yi pressed her lips into a straight line, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.

Song Xiwan was slightly stunned.

She really didn't think about whether Xie Yi would stay or leave. After all, Xie Yi always talked about freedom and didn't want to be restricted. Going to the capital was still too dangerous for him.

However, if I say this, Xie Yi will probably cry.

Song Xiwan secretly gave Xie Chengqian a look, asking him to find a way to solve the problem.

Xie Chengqian's expression was remarkably calm. "You stay here and continue to handle the previous matters. If there are any problems, have someone report them to me."

There was no hesitation at all.

Too direct.

Xie Yi's eyes instantly became watery, but Xie Chengqian didn't show any remorse. Instead, he asked again, "Are you going to be a hands-off boss? Let others clean up your mess for you?"

"of course not!"

Xie Yi has always had a high self-esteem and denied it quickly.

Then, he slowly accepted the reality of separation, lowered his head, and said reluctantly: "I understand. Then you must be careful on your journey."

"Ah."

Xie Chengqian turned around coldly and took Song Xi to the carriage at night.

Give the order to set off.

They slowly walked away.

Song Xiwan could see Xie Yi's distraught face through the car curtain and felt complicated.

She glanced at Xie Chengqian and said, "Why are you so cold? Weren't you quite concerned about him before?"

"Have it?"

Xie Chengqian asked calmly, then added, "If he wants to make a name for himself, independence is the most important thing he should learn."

Song Xiwan was speechless.

She looked at Xie Chengqian's cold and hard profile and felt inexplicably distressed.

Wasn't this how the young Xie Chengqian was pushed step by step to become the ruthless and murderous person he is today?

Song Xiwan leaned on his shoulder and said nothing more.

Xie Chengqian hugged her and spoke in a slower tone, "Okay, I'll try to be more tactful next time."

He didn't want to see her unhappy.

Song Xiwan shook her head slightly, "It doesn't matter, just do it according to your original idea."

She didn't want him to force himself.

After stopping and walking along the way, it was more than ten days later when we returned to Shangjing City.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of Shangjing City, someone was waiting and hurriedly informed them of the situation in the palace. "Your Majesty suddenly had abdominal pain today. The imperial physician can only help to relieve His Majesty, but there is nothing he can do for the time being. Prime Minister Song knows that the prince and princess will arrive in Shangjing City today, so he asked me to take you to the palace as soon as possible."

"what!"

Song Xiwan became anxious.

Abdominal pain during pregnancy is very dangerous, and so many doctors are helpless?

Xie Chengqian acted decisively, brought a horse, and took her all the way to the palace.
