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

Song Xiwan looked up, his brows furrowed.

Why is Xie Qiang here?

The guards who were originally behind him quickly surrounded her, holding swords that exuded a cold aura, as if they were ready to capture her at any time.

The county official seemed to have seen reinforcements and hurriedly begged for mercy from Xie Qiang, "Second Prince, help me! This Song Xiwan is threatening an official of the imperial court. He is absolutely crazy!"

Song Xiwan sneered coldly, showing no fear at all. She simply asked, "So the person the Lord just said he was going to torture into confessing is the Second Prince."

This frightened the county magistrate so much that his face turned pale!

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Song Xiwan ignored him, his eyes fixed coldly on Xie Qiang, who was sitting in a wheelchair. He asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, Second Prince, what have I done to deserve your wrath?"

Xie Qiang stared at her with a sinister look, "Miss Song, you misunderstood. I just happened to pass by Yunhe Academy and accidentally learned that a murder had occurred, so I came here to investigate."

"Oh? That's quite a coincidence."

Song Xiwan naturally didn't believe it, but he still delayed time.

Why hasn’t Xie Chengqian come yet?

"So I advise Miss Song not to do anything stupid like killing an official of the imperial court. My fifth brother can't help you."

Xie Qiang curled his lips to remind him.

Song Xiwan wanted to refute, but then his eyes became sharp and he suddenly loosened his hand holding the dagger.

A hidden weapon still cut her shoulder!

The blood instantly dyed the clothes red.

Song Xiwan met Xie Qiang's mocking smile with a cold look, and her fists clenched. She really didn't expect Xie Qiang to do this in court.

If she had been a second slower, the dagger would have cut the county official's throat.

That can’t be washed away even if you jump into the Yellow River!

"Pity."

Xie Qiang sighed softly.

The county magistrate was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and an unpleasant smell emanated from him, causing Song Xiwan to look at him speechlessly.

What a lack of courage!

At this time, Xie Qiang gave the order again, "Catch her."

Song Xiwan gritted her teeth, knowing that she could not wait for Xie Chengqian, so she could only solve the problem herself.

But as soon as he moved, Song Xiwan felt weak all over. Xie Qiang in front of him appeared double, and he could vaguely see his arrogant smile.

The hidden weapon is poisonous!

As expected, Xie Qiang smiled and said, "I still remember Miss Song's victory over the wild boar, so I can only make preparations in advance."

As soon as Song Xiwan began to practice, he felt the blood in his body surging and his mind became even more confused.

It’s over.

If this fell into Xie Qiang's hands, she would be half dead if not dead.

When Song Xiwan was about to lose consciousness, she clearly felt someone hugging her waist and smelled a familiar cold woody fragrance.

"You finally came."

Song Xiwan said this almost in a whisper, with a hint of imperceptible grievance in her voice.

Xie Chengqian's eyes flashed, and he sealed several acupuncture points on her body and fed her Doctor Xu's life-extending pill.

His grip on her shoulders gradually tightened, and he murmured hoarsely, "I'm late."

"Thank you, Chengqian!"

Xie Qiang's men were subdued in a few moves, and he was surrounded in a mess. This situation made him so angry that he shouted his name.

Xie Chengqian looked over with cold eyes and raised his wrist.

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out!

"what--"

Xie Qiang covered his arm in pain, and when he looked down, he saw that his arm was torn apart by his hidden weapon, and he could even see the white bones.

He was tormented by pain and numbness in his body!

Xie Qiang's face was ferocious and he shouted angrily, "How dare you attack me?"

"I can still kill you."

Xie Chengqian's cold voice was filled with endless murderous intent, making it difficult to doubt the truth of his words.

Xie Qiang shuddered all over.

He rarely saw Xie Chengqian angry. He had always pretended to be a friendly brother to him in the past, but today he treated him like this for Song Xiwan.

"No, you wouldn't dare! If you kill me, how are you going to explain this to the world?"

Xie Chengqian looked at him sternly, and finally ordered Mu Yun, "Take him away and serve him well. If anyone comes to look for him in the capital, tell them that the Second Prince is ill and recuperating."

Xie Qiang's pupils widened!

"You want to put me under house arrest?"

"No, it's imprisonment."

Xie Chengqian picked up Song Xiwan and left coldly without even looking at Xie Qiang.

Xie Qiang was left alone, cursing angrily, "Xie Chengqian! You will never succeed. My mother will do everything she can to avenge me!"

Xie Chengqian pretended not to hear and took Song Xiwan to the courtyard outside the city, asking the accompanying doctor to treat her.

At first glance, the accompanying doctor looked not very well.

"It's Bone-Eroding Powder."

An extremely vicious poison. If it cannot be detoxified in time, the poisoned person will probably become a walking corpse.

Xie Chengqian's expression turned cold, "Do you need Ice Spirit Grass?"

The accompanying doctor nodded and said, "Yes, this is the only antidote, and it must be taken within three days."

Ice spirit grass usually grows in extremely cold places.

There is a thousand-year-old cold pond nearby, there might be something underneath.

Xie Chengqian made a prompt decision and asked Mu Yun to protect Song Xiwan, and went to pick the Ice Spirit Grass himself.

This frightened Mu Yun so much that he quickly stopped her, "Let me go, Your Highness, your injuries haven't fully healed yet."

"fine."

There were only three days left, and Xie Chengqian was hesitant to hand it over to others.

Mu Yun couldn't persuade him at all.

……

When Song Xiwan woke up, her head felt like it was being pricked by needles. She opened her heavy eyelids and saw only an unfamiliar tent roof. Where was this?

Soon, she could still hear Qiu Zhu's intermittent crying in her ears, and she felt relieved.

He did not fall into Xie Qiang's hands, and it seemed that he had escaped death again.

"Girl, you finally woke up!"

Qiu Zhu heard the noise and quickly wiped away her tears and looked over.

Song Xiwan struggled to get up, and Qiu Zhu quickly helped her up, saying, "Miss, be careful. The doctor said you must rest."

"No problem."

After a short break, Song Xiwan did feel much better.

She then looked around and couldn't help but ask Qiu Zhu, "Where am I?"

"This is the prince's courtyard. The girl was sent here after the accident. It was the prince's doctor who treated her."

Song Xiwan nodded in understanding and asked, "Where are the others?"

Although Xie Chengqian arrived a little late, he still saved her life.

Qiu Zhu shook his head, "I don't know either. I haven't come to see the girl during this period."

Song Xiwan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes.

Are you angry?

Qiu Zhu thought of something else and said hesitantly, "And young lady, the eldest master arrived at the academy a few days ago. He was so worried when he couldn't find you that he almost reported you to the police."

Mu Yun repeatedly told them not to leak the girl's information, and Qiu Zhu had to work hard to stop Song Junling from making a big deal out of it.

Song Xiwan's eyes looked strange. "A few days ago? I was unconscious for a long time?"

"It's been almost ten days."

This answer almost made Song Xiwan faint!

Ten days!

She only thought she had been in a coma for a day or two. How could her brother not be worried when there was no news for such a long time?

Song Xiwan remembered something important and continued to ask, "Isn't the calligraphy and painting competition today?"
