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

Xu was a little confused, "Xi Wan..."

"Mother, do you know what the situation is like in the capital now?"

Song Xiwan knew what A Niang wanted to say and asked directly.

The Prince of Qi was escorted back to the capital, the Second Prince was thrown into prison, and even Concubine Shen was banished to the cold palace.

The court is now full of dangers.

Song Wenyi was trembling with fear when he went to court, fearing that he would be imprisoned again for no apparent reason. The emperor's situation was getting worse.

"You and I both know the Zhang family's current situation. If we help, how will we cope?"

Xu pursed her lips and said nothing, knowing that Xi Wan was right.

But she always felt that Xiwan's condition was not right these days.

"Is there anything you haven't told your mother?"

Song Xiwan started to say, "It's okay, I'll go out for a walk. If Second Uncle and his family come to talk about this again, I'll just close the door and refuse them."

Xu watched her daughter leave and felt very worried.

It's obvious that he has something on his mind.

Song Xiwan thought about it for a few days, but still didn't believe it. Was the person who killed her related to Yan Wushuang?

During those three years, he was clearly the one who taught her martial arts and how to protect herself.

They walked to the front of Prince Xuan's palace.

After returning from Lin'an City, Song Xiwan did not meet with Xie Chengqian, and even avoided him deliberately. She was upset.

"Come to me?"

Song Xiwan wanted to turn around and leave, but Xie Chengqian's cold voice suddenly sounded behind her, which scared her.

Panic flashed in her eyes, and she denied it stubbornly, "I was just passing by."

Xie Chengqian said, "It's just right. I have something to talk to you about."

Song Xiwan was stunned.

Before she could react, she was invited to the palace.

Uncle Wang quickly had tea served, leaving her no chance to escape.

Then they retreated.

There were only two of them left in the yard.

Song Xiwan suppressed her inner annoyance, maintained a calm expression, and asked, "I wonder what the prince wants to see me about?"

"What did you see at Prince Qi's mansion that day?"

Xie Chengqian still habitually added tea for her, as if it was his job to do, and before he knew it, Song Xiwan had gotten used to it.

She touched the rim of the cup with her fingertips and said nothing.

Yan Wushuang has a good relationship with Xie Chengqian. Wouldn't it be easier to get the answer if we ask him?

Seeing that she was silent, Xie Chengqian continued, "You left in a hurry, and I heard that you have been staying at home for the past few days without going out. You must be worried about something."

"I saw Yan Wushuang."

Song Xiwan spoke in a muffled voice.

Xie Chengqian paused, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

So it was for Yan Wushuang?

Song Xiwan didn't reveal the relationship between Yan Wushuang and Yan Niang, fearing that Xie Chengqian would directly order an arrest. She only asked politely, "Lin'an City is so chaotic, how could he be there?"

"He's used to traveling around the world, and only occasionally returns to the academy for a while. It's not surprising that he appears anywhere."

Xie Chengqian's voice was very deep.

Song Xiwan didn't notice anything wrong and asked carefully, "I just wondered why he didn't inherit the title since he was from a military family?"

In her previous life, she devoted herself to Xie Chengqian and never got to know Yan Wushuang.

We haven't been together for a long time, so it's hard to ask many questions.

Only now did I discover that Yan Wushuang had many secrets.

Xie Chengqian met her curious gaze, his mind slightly stagnant, "Why do you want to know about him?"

"is it not OK?"

Song Xiwan thought she was asking something she shouldn't be asking, so she said calmly, "I'm just curious."

Xie Chengqian frowned slightly.

In his previous life, Yan Wushuang liked to come to the palace. Every time he came, he would come under the pretext of visiting him, but in fact he came to teach Song Xiwan martial arts.

He had seen the two of them chatting happily many times, which was something he had never experienced before.

Why does Xi Wan want to know more about Yan Wushuang now?

This question made Xie Chengqian feel uneasy, but he still answered: "After his father died on the battlefield, he didn't plan to join the army again."

"Why?"

Song Xiwan really wanted to know.

What if we could get a glimpse of Yan Wushuang’s motives for doing this?

Xie Chengqian couldn't hold back his anger, and his tone was filled with a hint of displeasure. "If you want to know so much, why don't you ask him?"

Song Xiwan choked and felt that Xie Chengqian's anger was inexplicable.

"Is it appropriate for me to suddenly ask someone about their sad story?"

"You know it's inappropriate."

Xie Chengqian answered suddenly.

The smell of gunpowder made Song Xiwan's eyes widen, a little bit unbelievable.

As for?

Xie Chengqian met her gaze, his heart troubled again, "He always felt that there was something strange about his father's death."

Song Xiwan was stunned again. Isn't this still an answer?

Song Xiwan's mind couldn't help but follow Xie Chengqian's words, wondering why this was related to why Yan Wushuang knew Yan Niang.

"Xiwan."

Xie Chengqian couldn't bear to see that her mind was on Yan Wushuang, so he called out in a deep voice.

Song Xiwan looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Chengqian's eyes darkened, and just as he was about to say something, a servant came running over to report, "Your Highness, Miss Su is here. She said she has something important to discuss with you."

Su Xunyao?

Song Xiwan's heart sank unconsciously and he stood up to say goodbye.

"Since the prince has guests, I will take my leave first."

"and many more."

Xie Chengqian didn't want to let her go just like that, so he asked the servant, "Did you tell me what it was?"

The servant shook his head, "Just say that Prime Minister Su asked her to come, and she must see the prince today."

Since Prime Minister Su had already moved out, Song Xiwan knew that Su Xunyao was determined to win today.

In the last murder of Shen Qiongyi, Prime Minister Su did a lot to exonerate Su Xunyao. This time, there was a turmoil in the court, and Prime Minister Su seemed to be involved.

Xie Chengqian's eyes darkened. "Let her wait in the front hall."

"Yes."

The servant went to do it immediately.

Xie Chengqian turned around and said to her, "Wait for me here for a while."

Song Xiwan looked puzzled, "Your Majesty, is there something else you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Chengqian threw down the words "something happened" and left, his face looking really bad.

Song Xiwan even suspected that she had made him unhappy, but now she was the one waiting here, while it was obviously he who wanted to see Su Xunyao.

But what is Su Xunyao doing today?

Song Xiwan turned her eyes slightly, but still followed him, "Your Highness, I'll go with you."

Xie Chengqian was still thinking about how to keep her, but when he heard her words unexpectedly, surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What did you say?"

"It's a good opportunity to visit this palace."

Song Xiwan lied without blushing or beating her heart.

Xie Chengqian did not refuse. It was better to keep this person under his watch than to let her slip away quietly.

When she arrived at the front hall, Song Xiwan saw Su Xunyao with a haggard face.

"Your Majesty..."

Su Xunyao called out pitifully, but when she saw Song Xiwan, her face froze slightly.

Song Xiwan was in a good mood and greeted, "Miss Su, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you in Prince Xuan's Mansion."
