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

Before daybreak, Song Xiwan and several Purple Gold Guards went downstream to search.

The waters became wider and wider. Even before I got close, I could hear the sound of water splashing and falling, and my vision became increasingly blurry.

This place is very spacious and indeed hard to find.

"Search separately. Send a signal if anything happens."

Song Xiwan made a decision.

The Purple Gold Guards always obeyed orders strictly, and they just reminded Song Xiwan to be careful before dispersing.

Song Xiwan went deeper into the waterfall alone, until he stood at the edge of the waterfall and looked down, but he couldn't see the bottom at all.

After a while, her clothes were a little wet.

Song Xiwan took a round of inspection but found nothing, and when he was about to go back, he stopped.

She hesitantly walked around a rock and found a hint of bloody red at a relatively low position. She leaned in and smelled it, confirming that it was blood.

Song Xiwan's eyes tightened. Could it be Xie Chengqian's?

There's no place to hide here.

Song Xiwan stood still and pondered for a moment. Then a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he hurried to the outermost edge to carefully observe the waterfall.

In the gap between the pouring screen, she saw a cave!

It's not there, is it?

Song Xiwan felt that this guess was too dangerous. There was nowhere to go down at all, and Xie Chengqian was hiding so well that he was not afraid that others would not find him.

As she was debating whether to go and investigate, she seemed to hear the sound of fighting behind her.

Then a whistle sounded from the Purple Gold Guards - there are enemies, retreat.

Song Xiwan's eyebrows jumped and he cursed inwardly.

What a bad luck!

Judging from the noise, it was not far from her. There was no way she could go back the same way. The only place she could hide was in the cave behind the waterfall.

In an instant, Song Xiwan had thought of several ways to get out.

The safest way is to climb down the vines.

Unfortunately, the vine was too thin and could barely bear her weight. Song Xiwan had to switch to another one soon, and she couldn't slow down.

By the time she arrived at the cave, she was panting heavily from exhaustion and her body was soaked.

I haven't been this embarrassed in a long time!

Song Xiwan was feeling annoyed as he looked around the dark cave. It was extremely quiet.

The beast must be gone, and Xie Chengqian is not here either?

"Well……"

A faint moan came from deep inside.

Song Xiwan immediately recognized Xie Chengqian's voice, walked over quickly, and took out a specially made waterproof fire starter from his sleeve. Fortunately, it worked.

The cave is instantly illuminated.

She saw Xie Chengqian lying in the corner with a pale face, and several wounds on his body that had been simply bandaged, and the gauze was now soaked with blood.

The whole person seemed to be hanging on by a thread.

Song Xiwan was so shocked that he stood there, forgetting to react for a moment.

"Thank you, thank you Chengqian?"

As soon as the voice fell, Xie Chengqian suddenly opened his sharp eyes, picked up the sword beside him, and attacked Song Xiwan's vital point directly.

Song Xiwan's pupils shrank and he quickly stepped back.

A few strands of black hair had no time to escape and fell down sadly.

"it's me!"

Song Xiwan was extremely angry, but she couldn't argue with this person who didn't forget to fight back even when he was on the verge of death.

The coldness on Xie Chengqian's face faded a little, and he blinked blankly.

After a moment, he seemed to recognize her, his brows relaxed as he murmured, "Your injuries are so severe that you're hallucinating."

"You are the illusion!"

Song Xiwan's heart tightened slightly. She squatted down to check his wound. It was shocking. She needed to cut out the rotten flesh and apply medicine again.

He probably just managed to get through these two days.

Song Xiwan felt a surge of anger in her heart, and couldn't help cursing: "Are they crazy? Do they really want to kill you?"

Xie Chengqian was stunned.

I realized later that the person in front of me was not an illusion.

"How did you come?"

His breath was weak, but one could still hear the shock in his voice.

Song Xiwan lowered her eyes and replied unhappily, "Didn't you say you were in danger and asked me to bring the Purple Gold Guards to rescue you?"

Xie Chengqian frowned, his eyes filled with solemnity, "You shouldn't have come here in person. It's too dangerous here."

This place is difficult to enter and exit, and is heavily guarded.

"You know the danger, but you still come?"

Song Xiwan's tone was inevitably a bit aggressive.

Even if she hadn't sent the letter, with Xie Chengqian's intelligence, how could he not understand the conspiracy of King Qi and Xie Qiang, and why they let himself fall into such a situation.

Xie Chengqian said in a deep voice: "The King of Qi is holding the people in the city as hostages. I must come."

This is his responsibility.

Moreover, according to his plan, he should have subdued the King of Qi smoothly. However, a group of assassins suddenly appeared and attacked him, forcing him to retreat temporarily and wait for reinforcements.

I didn’t expect that it was Xiwan who came.

Xie Chengqian raised his eyes and saw her peaceful face highlighted by the firelight, and a slight ripple appeared in his heart.

"These are minor injuries, don't worry."

Song Xiwan still kept his eyes down and said nothing.

Then, she took out the porcelain bottle from her body. The medicinal powder inside was very useful for healing wounds. She had been protecting it all the way.

Seeing that she remained silent, Xie Chengqian felt inexplicably guilty.

"Xi Wan...hiss!"

He swallowed back all his words because of the pain. He looked down and saw Song Xiwan holding a dagger and cutting away the dead flesh from his wound cleanly and neatly.

Show no mercy.

"pain?"

Song Xiwan asked calmly without raising her head.

Xie Chengqian wanted to nod subconsciously, but Song Xiwan's voice sounded even faster, "Your Highness should not take this minor injury seriously."

Xie Chengqian: “…”

He could tell that Xiwan was angry.

Although Song Xiwan's movements were smooth, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He was afraid that if he didn't handle it properly, Xie Chengqian's injuries would become more serious.

What makes me even more angry is his attitude. Is this what you call a minor injury?

I’m almost dead!

Xie Chengqian took two more pills, and his body regained some strength, and his eyes became much clearer.

He just realized that Song Xiwan's clothes were all wet, his eyes darkened slightly, "Go out and find someone to come over first, and change your clothes by the way."

"Ah."

Song Xiwan glanced at him coldly.

No one knows what's going on outside. Running out at this time might mean death.

And this time, it was all because of him.

All the misunderstandings in the previous life and the help in this life have been repaid!

Xie Chengqian seemed to understand her eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Xiwan, thank you for coming to save me."

Song Xiwan's heartstrings were quietly touched, and she didn't know how to face Xie Chengqian like this. She was still used to his cold nature.

She tilted her head. "I just don't want them to succeed."

"Me too."

Xie Chengqian's voice suddenly deepened, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Song Xiwan finally had time to ask him, "What happened? You should have guessed the Second Prince and Prince Qi's intentions. Why are you still injured?"

Xie Chengqian did not hide anything and told her everything that happened at that time.

"Death warrior?"

Song Xiwan was surprised.

It takes a lot of money and effort to train a team of death warriors. They invested so much money to deal with Xie Chengqian.

Xie Chengqian said in a deep voice: "I guess they can't wait any longer."

Song Xiwan's eyes suddenly widened. "Are they trying to usurp the throne?"
