Isn't it a compromise for the most beautiful woman in the Northern Desert to marry this sickly man?
Song Yan was unsure.
But tears don't lie.
Song Yan was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand and placed his slender fingertips close to Xie Shizhu's face.
Xie Shizhu froze all over, and suddenly thought of the silver needle he saw in Song Yan's hand just now. Is Song Yan ready to take action now?
The system was so tense that it couldn't breathe.
Xie Shizhu didn't dare to breathe, staring blankly at the elegant young man in front of him.
Song Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his slender fingers, and said softly, "I was only slightly injured, nothing serious."
Xie Shizhu was slightly stunned, as if she couldn't believe that Song Yan just wiped her tears and said something nonsensical.
However, the only thing that was certain was that this pervert had given up his intention to kill her.
Thinking of this, Xie Shizhu stopped crying, forced a smile, and nodded under Song Yan's gentle gaze.
Seeing that she stopped crying, Song Yan curled his thin lips slightly and looked at her deeply.
Xie Shizhu would not give up any opportunity to win over the big boss. She quickly took out her handkerchief and held Song Yan's wrist.
Song Yan's eyes flashed with surprise.
Then, Xie Shizhu gently wrapped the handkerchief around the back of his hand and tied a bow to stop the bleeding of Song Yan's wound.
When Xie Shizhu was about to remove her hand, Song Yan grabbed her wrist, gently held it, and said softly, "The officers have already gone to chase the assassin. It's time for us to leave."
Xie Shizhu nodded obediently and let Song Yan lead her out of the clinic.
As the two of them walked towards the river, Song Yan still did not let go of her hand.
Xie Shizhu stared at Song Yan's back and wondered, has she succeeded in currying favor with the boss?
The system immediately gave the host a thumbs-up: [Congratulations, host! Congratulations! !]

Back to the river, there are more people than before.
Not only were there common people coming to release river lanterns, but there were also many royal guards.
They walked back and forth, seemingly trying to catch someone.
Song Yan met several concubines and servants in the mansion, and the servants quickly told him everything that had just happened.
After the prince climbed out of the water, he was stabbed in the back as soon as he reached the shore.
Fortunately, a woman from Beimo saw it and helped the prince, causing the assassin to stop.
Otherwise, this knife would probably have really killed the prince.
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu had already guessed that the woman from Beimo was her sister Xie Xi.
She quickly guessed something. The person who hired the assassin was none other than someone from Beimo.
Bei Mo used the same old trick again, using this incident as an excuse to send Xie Xi to the prince.
The servant said that the prince had been sent back to the palace and might need to rest for a while, but he should be fine.
Xie Shizhu naturally wouldn't care about the prince's health.
But these concubines stood in front of Song Yan, clutching their handkerchiefs worriedly, as if their hearts were all worried about the prince.
I wish they were the ones who saved the prince.
Song Yan didn't seem to notice them. Instead, he left with a few servants and returned directly to the mansion.
As soon as she arrived at the mansion, Chao Lan did not ask Song Yan for instructions. She simply left everyone behind and walked into the mansion with a few of her maids.
When the remaining concubines saw her leave, they ignored the prince beside them and followed Chao Lan's footsteps.
After a while, only Song Yan, Xie Shizhu, and a few maids were left at the door.
Song Yan looked at their backs, his expression as gentle as ever.
Although he was not valued as a prince in the palace, he did not feel angry at all.
Xie Shizhu bowed slightly, saluted Song Yan, and was about to go back to the house, but was stopped by Song Yan's gentle voice.
"Wait a minute."
Xie Shizhu looked at him blankly, waiting for Song Yan's next words.
Song Yan pondered for a few seconds and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be coming soon. I need to go to the palace. You can come with me then."
After saying this, Xie Shizhu opened his eyes slightly wide, his face full of shock.
Even the maids around her were surprised.
According to the rules, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, only the princess in the palace can go to the palace to enjoy the moon with the emperor, the empress dowager and others, and it is not the turn of a concubine.
It took Xie Shizhu a while to come back to her senses from Song Yan's words. When she realized what was happening, she immediately shook her head and refused. She then quickly gestured, "Your Highness, my status is not suitable."
Song Yan smiled slightly, his tone gentle but firm: "You are my concubine, this is your status, there is nothing inappropriate."
As soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Xie Shizhu's face, and his eyes changed when he looked at Song Yan.
Song Yan gestured for her to go to bed, then turned and walked into the mansion, disappearing from the sight of several people.
As soon as he left, the maids looked at each other and quickly told the princess about this matter.

late at night.
Xie Shizhu, dressed in black and wearing a veil, climbed out of the window, as light as a swallow, and left the palace quickly.
An hour later, Xie Shizhu returned to the palace.
She returned to the room and just as she lay down she heard conversation outside.
It was Chao Lan and Concubine Shu. When they learned that Xie Shizhu was able to enter the palace with Prince Xian, they were very dissatisfied and planned to teach Xie Shizhu a lesson in the dark.
They were not afraid that Xie Shizhu would hear it. After all, as a mute, even if he was beaten, he could only swallow it and could not say anything.
Chao Lan planned to beat Xie Shizhu so that he could not go to the palace with the virtuous king.
She was clearly the princess consort, and she was the only one who accompanied the virtuous king into the palace.
However, just as they were about to kick open Xie Shizhu's door, as their foot touched the door, their other foot stepped on something.
