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

After a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of the palace.

Song Xiwan looked at Mu Yun with a faint gaze, a few strands of hair still floating on her forehead, messy from the bumpy ride.

"Would you like to go faster?"

Mu Yun smiled awkwardly, "I'm not afraid of wasting Miss Song's time."

It was a rare occurrence for Miss Song to say she wanted to come as soon as she heard that the prince was in a bad mood.

Song Xiwan received Mu Yun's ambiguous look, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and then entered the palace.

The palace is exceptionally quiet today.

When Uncle Wang saw her, his eyes were filled with surprise. "Miss Song, are you here to see the prince? He is in the study."

Song Xiwan: “…”

Normally, if you see a stranger breaking into the palace, shouldn't you ask the reason in detail?

Why did he just give her directions, as if her presence here was the most normal thing.

Song Xiwan couldn't say anything more to Wang Bo. He nodded lightly and walked towards the study. The closer he got, the heavier his heart felt.

If Xie Chengqian gets very angry later, how should she respond?

This is not a break of promise, just a postponement.

While trying to convince himself, Song Xiwan walked towards the study room with ease.

It is even quieter here, with only the sound of the breeze passing by.

Song Xiwan walked to the front of the study and said politely, "Your Highness, Xiwan has something to ask for an audience."

No response.

What about people?

"Your Majesty?"

Song Xiwan called out again tentatively, but there was still no movement inside. Could it be that no one was there?

She raised her head hesitantly, and was shocked when she saw the painting hanging next to the screen.

Isn’t this her painting “Lonely Boat”?

Xie Chengqian is still hanging?

Song Xiwan knew very well how important the study was to Xie Chengqian. It was filled with his collection of weapons. It was a forbidden area and she had not been allowed to enter for three years in her previous life.

Song Xiwan clearly remembered one time when she wanted to come over to give Xie Chengqian a bowl of mung bean soup to cool him down, but she was scolded by him as soon as she stepped into the door.

"This is not the place you should come."

She remembered this sentence clearly.

What is this now?

There was a hint of moisture at the corners of Song Xiwan's eyes, and her body remained still for a long time.

"How did you come?"

I knew that Xie Chengqian's cold voice came from behind me.

Song Xiwan's heart skipped a beat, but when he turned around, his expression had regained its composure.

"Your Highness, your humble servant greets you."

Every move is full of alienation.

Xie Chengqian stared at her with a heavy gaze, a sense of annoyance welling up in his heart. He said in a hoarse voice, "Raise your head."

Song Xiwan could tell that he was unhappy, and her heart felt desolate again.

Sure enough, he still annoyed her coming near the study.

She slowly raised her head, wanting to explain that she had not crossed the line, but she was stunned when she saw it.

Xie Chengqian was only wearing an inner garment!

It was open, and his wheat-colored skin and throbbing chest were clearly visible.

Song Xiwan turned her face away instantly, a blush creeping up the tips of her ears. She tried to remain calm and asked, "Why is your Highness so disheveled?"

"I just finished taking a shower and came to check it out when I heard some noise over here."

Xie Chengqian answered honestly.

Song Xiwan choked, feeling like she had disturbed others.

"It was Uncle Wang who told me that the prince was here, so I came here."

Xie Chengqian glanced at her unnatural expression, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he went straight into the study.

"No problem, come in and talk."

Song Xiwan was stunned and didn't understand Xie Chengqian's intention.

Is this a test or serious?

Xie Chengqian tilted his head to look at her and asked, "Miss Song, are you afraid that I might do something bad to you?"

Song Xiwan: “?”

When she met Xie Chengqian's deep dark eyes, she knew that he was so angry today because of the matter with the emperor. She had no choice but to go in first, feeling uneasy.

Did he really change his personality after living a new life?

Xie Chengqian arrived in front of the tea table and asked with his eyes lowered, "Miss Song, what brings you all the way to the palace?"

When he lowered his body, his chest was clearly visible.

Song Xiwan couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, can't you put on your coat first?"

How disgraceful!

Xie Chengqian gave her a cold look, "Miss Song has been postponing her marriage time and again. Could it be that she has some ill intentions towards me?"

Song Xiwan was speechless.

This is full of gunpowder smell, and if there is another fire, it will definitely be ignited.

Before she could say anything, Xie Chengqian continued, "Besides, I'm injured. My old injury relapsed today and I need to apply medicine. I hope Miss Song won't mind."

Song Xiwan's eyelids twitched. This injury was caused by her.

She had originally intended to argue, but now her momentum has dropped sharply.

How else can I say this?

"Miss Song has done everything, and now you don't dare to speak out?"

Xie Chengqian was aggressive.

Song Xiwan couldn't hide her anger and said bluntly, "Since Your Highness already knows what I am going to say, then he knows that I have no right to choose. The Imperial Order cannot be disobeyed."

Xie Chengqian chuckled, "You could have told me first."

"What good will it do to tell His Majesty? Could it be that His Majesty is going to disobey the Emperor?"

Song Xiwan knew that Xie Chengqian was a man with a sense of patriotism in his heart. He might not be suitable to be a husband, but he was a loyal minister.

Although he used the Purple Gold Guards to control the palace this time, he did not do anything more extreme.

Because of the changes in the country, the people suffer.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian stared at her and asked, "Why not?"

Song Xiwan was completely shocked.

what?

Xie Chengqian got up from the wheelchair and walked towards her with steady steps, which made Song Xiwan's eyes widen even more. His leg healed so quickly?

Before she knew it, Xie Chengqian was only a fist away from her.

You can smell the lingering scent of his bath when you get close enough.

He murmured softly, "Xiwan, I'm always serious when I ask for your hand in marriage."

Song Xiwan raised her head suddenly and met his deep eyes which were filled with certain emotions. Her heart skipped a beat unconsciously.

Why is he crazy again?

Xie Chengqian stared at her rosy lips, feeling eager inside.

He couldn't wait any longer.

This aggressive look made Song Xiwan aware of the danger. She subconsciously reached out to push him away and said in a tight voice, "Xiwan owes His Majesty this matter. If His Majesty is still unhappy, Xiwan is willing to make amends."

You can give him advice and work for him, as long as there is no emotional involvement.

"really?"

A hint of regret flashed in Xie Chengqian's eyes, and he asked in a hoarse voice.

Song Xiwan really wanted to shake her head, but she had no choice at the moment.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Miss Song is so insistent. I can't refuse your kindness. Please apply the medicine to me."

Xie Chengqian placed his hands on both sides of his inner garment, as if preparing to take it off.

Song Xiwan's mind went blank.

When did Xie Chengqian become so shameless?

"you you……"

"Anyway, the imperial decree granting the marriage will come down sooner or later, and Miss Song has no intention of breaking her promise. This injury was caused by you, and you just asked for compensation. Shouldn't you refuse?"

Xie Chengqian asked with reason and evidence.

He blocked all of Song Xiwan's escape routes, forcing her to either turn hostile and leave, or continue to act out this drama.
