When she asked this question, the whole courtyard fell into silence.

After a long while, Xiahou Chongyuan slowly spoke: "Princess, are you not going to explain?"

"What to explain?" Song Qingxue found it a little funny.

He obviously didn't believe her, so why did he ask her to explain?

I'm afraid he just wanted her to quickly confess her crime, and preferably tell him in detail the whole process of her knife attack, so that he could close the case without any effort.

Her tone was harsh enough, but she still had such thoughts in her heart, which really made Xiahou Chongyuan's face darken.

He saw with his own eyes that Song Qingxue stabbed the dagger into Mo Weixin's heart. Could this be fake?

Although he knew the truth about this matter, Xiahou Chongyuan did not want Song Qingxue to pay with his life.

He came to see her today because he wanted to protect her.

Xiahou Chongyuan calmed down and spoke again: "Qingxue, tell me why you want to kill Changle? As long as you tell me the reason, I will save your life."

When Song Qingxue heard this, she laughed out loud on the spot.

Smile sarcastically and smile with disdain.

"I said, it wasn't me! I didn't mean to kill her!" Since everyone has determined that she was the one who killed someone, why bother to come here and pretend to be a good person?

Although she denied it in her heart, that was what he saw with his own eyes.

He believed what he saw with his own eyes.

Xiahou Chongyuan was very annoyed by her attitude, and his tone became much heavier, "Qingxue, tell the truth!"

"What else do you want me to tell you? What I'm saying is the truth, believe it or not."

Song Qingxue was also very angry and confronted him directly. "Xiahou Chongyuan, since you don't believe me, then don't pretend to want to protect me. I, Song Qingxue, am upright and honest. I didn't kill anyone, so I don't need your protection!"

Xiahou Chongyuan was very angry, "Song Qingxue you..."

"I know I'm ungrateful." Song Qingxue didn't wait for him to finish and quickly blocked his words in her throat.

She is just afraid.

She was afraid that Xiahou Chongyuan would say something unpleasant, and she didn't want to hear him say those unpleasant words.

The noble and elegant Regent had to do his scolding in an elegant manner even when scolding others.

Therefore, she could just say these unpleasant words on his behalf.

Song Qingxue took a deep breath and continued, "I don't know what's good for me, but I'm the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, why do I need you to protect me?"

She raised her head, her eyes slightly cold, "Lord Regent, I won't be a burden to you, just give me a letter of divorce."

Xiahou Chongyuan was startled. "What did you say?"

Song Qingxue had no intention of changing her mind and repeated her words: "Give me a letter of divorce and I won't be a burden to you."

"Are you serious?" Xiahou Chongyuan's heart suddenly felt like it was tangled with thousands of knots, so messy that he didn't know where to start.

"Of course." Song Qingxue paused, then continued: "Of course, I will continue to fulfill my promise to you. Qingxue will not break her promise to you."

"What if I don't give it to you?"

Song Qingxue lowered her head and bit her lip. After a moment of silence, she continued, "Does Your Majesty still remember the three conditions? Today, I will use the third condition to exchange for a divorce letter from you. However, if Your Majesty thinks that I will not acknowledge my debt after receiving the divorce letter, I can also write you a letter of guarantee. If I break my promise, I will be despised by all the people and will not die a good death in this life!"

"Song Qingxue, you, you are doing very well! You are doing very well!"

Xiahou Chongyuan never expected that she would make such a vicious oath for a divorce letter.

He was so angry that his mind went blank for a moment. He slammed the wheelchair handle with his right hand and said angrily: "Song Qingxue, you are so nice! If you want a divorce letter, then I will give it to you!"

"Someone! Bring me some pen and ink!"

Seeing this, Xiahou Le quickly spoke up to stop him, "Uncle! You absolutely cannot do that!"

Although he saw Song Qingxue take action with his own eyes, he cared more about his uncle.

Mo Weixin's death could naturally be resolved by him and the emperor's uncle working together, but if they divorced because of a momentary impulse today, it would be too late to regret it in the future.

"Why not?"

Xiahou Chongyuan snorted coldly and said this, then ignored him and concentrated on spreading out the paper, dipping the pen in ink and starting to write the divorce letter.

However, every word and sentence in what was written was full of content related to separation.

Although he was extremely angry, he couldn't bear to really give Song Qingxue a divorce letter and let her leave without any dignity.

After writing the last word and when it came time to sign his name, he couldn't help but stop writing.

Seeing this, Song Qingxue did not urge him, but said: "Since the prince has written a letter of divorce, I will also write a letter of guarantee, which will also dispel your concerns."

After saying that, she took a new piece of paper, unfolded it, dipped it in ink and slowly wrote a few lines.

[Today, I, Song Qingxue, guarantee to the Regent King Xiahou Chongyuan that I will fulfill all the promises I made with him. If I cannot do so, I will voluntarily announce this guarantee to the world and be despised by all the people! ]

She didn't know how to use fancy words, she just wrote down everything she thought on paper.

After writing, she checked it to make sure there were no typos, then added her name at the end of the sentence and put her fingerprints on it.

"Your Highness, I have written the letter of guarantee. Please take a look." As she spoke, she spread out the letter of guarantee and placed it in front of Xiahou Chongyuan.

Xiahou Chongyuan looked up at her and said, "Song Qingxue! You are so heartless!"

After cursing with gritted teeth, he lowered his head and wrote his name on the divorce papers, and like her, he pressed his fingerprints on them.

As soon as he raised his hand, the divorce papers were grabbed by Song Qingxue.

Song Qingxue just glanced at it briefly, then folded the divorce letter and put it in her pocket.

She smiled at Xiahou Chongyuan, then bowed and saluted him, "Thank you, Lord Regent, for your generosity. Now that we are divorced, I wish you to marry someone good soon, and I also wish that we can part ways and live happily."

After she finished speaking, she stood up straight and continued, "Since you and I are no longer husband and wife, it is not appropriate for me to continue living in the palace. Let me pack up and wait for my brother to come and pick me up later."

"Oh, by the way, if Marquis Anding really wants to investigate the matter of the princess, you can ask him to come to the general's mansion to find me, and I will give him an explanation."

Xiahou Chongyuan just stared at her, with nothing to say.

Seeing him staring at me like that, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel uncomfortable.

After being single for so many years, I finally fell in love with someone, but it ended in such an unhappy ending.

But since he didn't believe her, she wouldn't kneel down and beg for a living in the palace.

Now let’s pack up and go back.

Song Qingxue lowered her eyelids, turned around and was about to go into the house.

But Xiahou Le suddenly shouted, "Auntie!"

Song Qingxue's eyelashes trembled. She wanted to cry, but she held it back.

She turned around and gave him a very forced smile, but her voice couldn't stop trembling: "Your Majesty, you can't call me Auntie anymore. I am the eldest daughter of the Song family now, so you can call me whatever you want."

After saying this, she couldn't stay in the yard any longer and quickened her pace into the house.

Liu Huan and Zhu Pin'er watched from the side, but had no idea what to do.

The two looked at each other for a long time, until Xiahou Chongyuan said softly, "Let's go", they came back to their senses.

After shouting "Farewell to the Emperor, Farewell to the Prince" together with the other maids in the courtyard, she quickly got up and went into the house.

Song Qingxue was already packing up the various medicines she had collected when she had nothing to do. When she saw the two people coming in, she did not stop what she was doing. She just choked up and said, "Liu Huan, go back to the general's mansion and ask my brother to take me home."

"Madam..." Liu Huan walked up to her side, "Madam, don't be impulsive. The prince likes you in his heart, and he will definitely protect you."

Song Qingxue put the medicine bottle into the box and looked up at her.

"Liu Huan, do you think I divorced him because I was afraid that Marquis Anding would hold me accountable?"

"I don't think so. I just think it's a pity that you and the prince are in love but you want to divorce."

"In love?" Song Qingxue wanted to laugh, but her eyes turned red uncontrollably. "Which eye of yours saw me and the prince in love? It has always been just my wishful thinking."
