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

Xie Chengqian had a stern expression on his face and did not refute.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain their actions this time.

He analyzed in a cold voice, "Once I'm killed, the ministers in the court will definitely attack them. The only way is to directly seize supreme power."

"You can't be that stupid, right?"

Song Xiwan still couldn't believe it.

The emperor is not yet in a situation where he cannot attend court. How can Xie Qiang and Concubine Shen be so confident that they can accomplish such a big thing?

If they fail, they will lose everything.

Xie Chengqian sneered, "Why not? They have a huge temptation before them, and someone is offering them advice, making them think victory is a sure thing."

Song Xiwan was slightly stunned.

There seemed to be some hidden information in these words.

"You mean they were instigated?"

"Yes."

Xie Chengqian's answer left Song Xiwan stunned. She didn't know whether to say that Xie Qiang and Concubine Shen were too stupid, or that the person who tricked them was too smart.

After more than ten years of painstaking efforts, it ends in such a trivial manner?

Xie Chengqian saw her doubt and said, "If someone told you what would happen in the future, and it happened over and over again, would you believe it?"

Song Xiwan froze in place.

This sounded like he was testing her, but his expression was remarkably calm, as if he was just saying it casually.

And there is only one person who fits this description.

Jiang Yao!

Song Xiwan almost blurted out the name, but was afraid that Xie Chengqian would ask further, so she could only consider how to say it tactfully.

Unexpectedly, there was some noise outside, as if someone was talking.

"Are you sure they are here?"

"I saw it clearly. He climbed up from the cliff. I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I hurried back to inform you to come over."

"..."

Song Xiwan frowned.

It was discovered after all!

The people outside didn't seem to intend to leave and wanted to search here carefully again. Song Xiwan's heart was in suspense.

If you are found, you will die.

At this time, Song Xiwan felt a warmth covering her hand, and then wrapped her hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid."

It was Xie Chengqian who held her hand.

Song Xiwan's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously wanted to pull away, but Xie Chengqian seemed to have really recovered his strength and didn't let her break free.

He even took her into his arms.

Song Xiwan lost her balance and fell on his chest. The smell of the ointment that had just been applied stimulated her brain.

What is this doing?

She could even hear Xie Chengqian's heartbeat!

"you……"

"Shhh."

Xie Chengqian pressed his fingertips on her lips to silence her.

Song Xiwan should have felt cold, after all, her clothes were wet, but at this moment she inexplicably felt a warmth filling her entire body.

The noise outside was getting closer.

Song Xiwan became even more nervous and stopped struggling.

Fortunately, they haven't found the cave yet, but it seems they don't plan to leave just like that. They want to seal it off and search it carefully.

Song Xiwan was annoyed. Doesn't this completely block their retreat?

Just at this moment, Xie Chengqian's low laughter came from above his head.

Song Xiwan couldn't help but look up and glare at him, but she forgot that their current posture was indescribable, and when she raised her head, her lips touched his chin.

Both of them froze.

"You, what are you laughing at?"

Song Xiwan hurriedly wanted to hide, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have come!

Xie Chengqian put his arm around her, his voice calm, "Don't worry, the Purple Gold Guards will go back and get reinforcements, and we can leave tonight."

"How can it be so fast?"

Song Xiwan steadied himself and answered calmly.

He is not panicking, so why should she be panicking?

"There's another army stationed in Persia in the east. I sent a message a long time ago. They should be arriving soon. The Purple Gold Guards will bring them here."

Xie Chengqian still didn't let go of his hand.

It's too cold here, Xiwan needs to warm up.

Song Xiwan's attention was quickly diverted. "So you've already thought of a way out from the beginning. It doesn't matter if I don't come?"

"Ah."

Xie Chengqian nodded, then added, "But fortunately you came."

What are you talking about?!

Song Xiwan couldn't stand the sticky atmosphere any longer, so she quickly broke free and said stubbornly, "That's right. If I hadn't found you, you would have died from this injury sooner or later."

The smile on Xie Chengqian's face became even more pronounced.

"Yes."

Song Xiwan: “…”

She felt that something was really wrong with Xie Chengqian. Was he seriously injured?

Soon, Song Xiwan no longer had the mind to think about this matter. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep leaning against the stone wall in a daze.

So cold.

After a moment, she seemed to fall into a warm embrace.

Song Xiwan knew it was Xie Chengqian, but she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes, so she just leaned against him and had a good rest with peace of mind.

She saved his life, so what's wrong with leaning on her?

Xie Chengqian lowered his eyes and stared at her porcelain-white and stubborn face, his arms slightly tightening.

"Xiwan."

He couldn't help but cry out softly.

Song Xiwan dazedly responded, "What?"

"When will you be able to pass the exam to become a female officer?"

Xie Chengqian originally thought he had the confidence to wait, but now he realized that this was too long.

He regretted it a bit.

He shouldn't have agreed to the emperor's request. He should have married her earlier.

Song Xiwan felt that Xie Chengqian's question was inexplicable and didn't want to pay any attention to it. She turned over and continued to sleep peacefully.

……

The next day.

Song Xiwan was woken up by the noise as there was another fight going on outside.

But the battle situation is still quite clear.

The people brought by the Purple Gold Guards easily dealt with the King of Qi's troops and found them.

Successfully rescued.

"Are you going to stay here?"

Song Xiwan thought she was about to go home, but she didn't expect Xie Chengqian to ask someone to escort her back first, which made Song Xiwan angry again.

Xie Chengqian's eyes were calm, "The people of Lin'an City are innocent."

The King of Qi will inevitably fail, and he will have to pay the price for it.

When someone mentioned the common people, Song Xiwan was speechless and could only squeeze out a sentence, "Whatever you say."

She regretted it all.

I ran so far and finally found someone, but now I have to go back alone.

Xie Chengqian looked at her back as she walked away, and his heart sank.

"Escort her back well."

Only by resolving the issues here can the danger to Xie Qiang and King Qi be resolved, and he can also hold more power in his hands to protect the Song family.

The Purple Gold Guard responded.

Song Xiwan walked to the water alone and pondered for a moment.

What does Jiang Yao want to do?

Originally, I thought he was on Xie Qiang's side, but now it seems that he is trying to trick Xie Qiang and Concubine Shen, which makes Song Xiwan uneasy.

Xie Chengqian doesn’t know Jiang Yao’s situation. Will he be in danger?

"Miss Song, when are we leaving?"

The Purple Gold Guard walked behind Song Xiwan and asked respectfully.

Song Xiwan glanced at him and said, "What journey? When did I say I was leaving?"
