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

The carriage suddenly fell into silence.

Although Song Xiwan had anticipated this, hearing the answer from Xie Chengqian, did this mean...

No, he clearly didn't know anything about his past life!

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

There was a slight tremor in Song Xiwan's cold voice.

Xie Chengqian's eyes darkened slightly, he had heard it.

He calmly analyzed, "This is just my guess. Miss Song has become famous in Shangjing City recently. She is outstanding in both civil and military affairs. Naturally, my father admires her."

Song Xiwan clenched her fists, her bright eyes filled with anger.

In the past, she was deliberately married to Xie Chengqian because she was a fool. Now that she has tried so hard, it has become a reason?

"Xi Wan begs His Majesty to ask the Emperor to revoke his order."

Xie Chengqian raised his deep eyes and looked at her, his lips pressed into a straight line, "This matter cannot be decided by me."

But he would never let his father get his wish!

"Why not? The prince already has someone he loves, and Xi Wan doesn't like the prince either. The emperor should understand that a forced marriage is not a happy one."

Song Xiwan was unwilling to accept this and rejected this ill-fated relationship with a look of rejection on her face.

Xie Chengqian had originally frowned when she mentioned the "person he admired", but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his body stiffened slightly.

After being reborn, Xie Chengqian could feel Song Xiwan's alienation, and she couldn't wait to stay away from anything related to him.

Xie Chengqian knew that it was his indifference and stupidity during those three years that hurt her heart, and he wanted to try hard to win her back in this life.

But she no longer wants him.

"Your Majesty?"

Song Xiwan didn't get a response, and when she saw Xie Chengqian's cold expression, her heart sank.

Even after saying this, Xie Chengqian still insists on marrying her, right?

Song Xiwan's heart sank, and her voice grew colder. "If the prince insists, Xiwan will..."

"not me."

Xie Chengqian interrupted her with a hoarse voice.

Song Xiwan was stunned.

Firstly, Xie Chengqian seemed to be very depressed, and secondly, it wasn't him?

When Xie Chengqian raised his head again, his expression had returned to normal. "Father wants to grant you a marriage with the Second Prince."

"what?!"

Song Xiwan exclaimed and subconsciously wanted to stand up.

The horses outside were also frightened, and the carriage shook violently.

Song Xiwan was injured and could not stand steadily. She was about to fall onto the wooden board when a strong hand quickly hugged her.

In the end, Song Xiwan fell into Xie Chengqian's arms, and when she looked up, she was met with a pair of eyes that she had never understood before.

His breath lingered in my nose.

Song Xiwan was a little dazed. After all, they had been married for three years in their previous life, and let alone the Zhougong ceremony, they had never even held hands!

Outside, after the driver Mu Yun controlled the horses, he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

I'm really afraid that the prince will not only fail to win the beauty, but also anger Miss Song.

Little did people know that Xie Chengqian had accomplished both of these things.

He looked into those bright eyes with a watery gleam in them, and his heart seemed to be tickled, and some dormant feelings were being awakened.

Xie Chengqian had broken both legs before, and he didn't want to delay her from ever going further.

Now he realized that he had missed too much.

This dangerous look made Song Xiwan jump and stand up. She stood away from him and said, "Thank you for what I said just now, Your Highness."

The tone sounds more like: Why do you have so many hands?

Xie Chengqian lowered his eyes and looked into the empty arms, clinging to the soft and fragrant warmth. He inadvertently turned his body to the side, as if to cover up something, and then coughed lightly.

"You're welcome, Miss Song."

The carriage was silent again.

Song Xiwan calmed down again and again before asking about the real matter, "Why did the emperor grant me a marriage with the Second Prince? I only met him once."

Besides, Xie Qiang had already married a wife!

So, she worked so hard in this life just to become a concubine?

Xie Chengqian replied in a deep voice: "The Second Prince broke both his legs in the hunting grounds."

"It's not my fault!"

Song Xiwan was so angry that she could hardly control her rationality.

Since Xie Chengqian wanted to kill her anyway, there was no need to maintain any superficial politeness.

Xie Chengqian continued, "In this way, the Second Prince's ambition will be difficult to achieve, and my presence will make people even more fearful."

It can be said that this is just the emperor's method of checks and balances, and Song Xiwan was completely involved.

Song Xiwan understood instantly.

Some time ago, Xie Chengqian and his father were investigating a case together. He rescued her who was covered in blood at the hunting ground. The emperor was determined to separate the entanglement between the Song Mansion and Xie Chengqian.

Her face darkened. "Have you figured out why that wild boar showed up at the hunting grounds?"

Some things that I couldn't understand would slowly connect here.

Xie Chengqian said bluntly, "They came here to target this king."

Song Xiwan glanced over coldly, "So, I'm taking the blame for the prince?"

No wonder he saved her and even asked Dr. Xu to come!

"Yes."

Xie Chengqian answered frankly, and naturally took out the precious ointment that he had kept in his sleeve. "Apply it to the wound, and the scar will be gone in a month or so."

Song Xiwan stared at the porcelain-white medicine bottle, her tone becoming tougher. "Your Highness, I almost lost my life, and you're just giving me this?"

Xie Chengqian paused in the air and asked, "What does Miss Song want?"

Song Xiwan said firmly, "I don't want an arranged marriage."

No matter what kind of king he was, entering the royal family was like being in a cage, restricting her in every way and forcing her to become a virtuous princess.

She was even asked to abandon the hatred that caused her family to be destroyed!

Song Xiwan could never accept it happening again.

Xie Chengqian was not surprised, but still said: "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, unless Miss Song already has someone she likes and is ready to get married."

As long as Xi Wan is willing, he will never let her be sad and cry in this life.

"I don't plan to get married in this lifetime."

Song Xiwan flatly rejected this possibility.

She just wanted to protect the Song Mansion and be the free and unrestrained Song Xiwan.

Xie Chengqian felt a chill in his heart.

The carriage also stopped in front of the palace gate at this time.

Song Xiwan got off the carriage and walked into the palace with a gloomy expression. Fortunately, she had foresight and found a way out for herself!

Mu Yun looked at Miss Song's slender yet extremely resolute back, looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

The prince is out of luck.

But Mu Yun still tried to comfort him, "Your Highness, it's okay. A strong woman is afraid of being clingy. Miss Song is saying this because she hasn't fallen in love yet."

Xie Chengqian glanced at him with cold eyes, "Stop reading useless books."

If Xi Wan didn't have the memory of those three years, perhaps these methods would still be useful, but now Xi Wan shows no signs of wavering.

Mu Yun curled his lips.

This is clearly not a problem with the storyline.

Xie Chengqian asked again, "Where is Xie Qiang?"

Mu Yun didn't dare to offend the prince at this time, and quickly replied: "The Second Prince is playing chess with the Emperor in the Imperial Study. If Miss Song goes there, she will be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."

Xie Chengqian's cold eyes were filled with displeasure. "You failed to do your job well this time. You will be punished with fifty lashes when you return."

Xie Qiang should have died in the hunting ground!
