In Prince Ning's Mansion, guests were seated one after another, but unlike the bustle of other mansions, the atmosphere here was strange. In the silence, there was only the sound of silk and bamboo.
As time passed, Song Shuwan looked around, and the weirdness in her heart became more and more intense: "Baicao, this banquet...couldn't it be hosted by Prince Ning to kill people?"
Baicao lowered his eyes, with a bit more confusion in his expression: "Why does the Crown Princess think so?"
Song Shuwan pursed her lips: "Don't you think the atmosphere here is weird?"
Baicao looked around nonchalantly and said softly: "Prince Ning's Mansion has held a banquet before, and the atmosphere was similar to this time. There is nothing strange about it."
Song Shuwan was a little stunned. Was the atmosphere of the previous banquet the same? In that case, why did these guests... Oh, she forgot, no one in the entire capital dared to refuse Prince Ning's post. Everyone was afraid of death, but no one wanted to
Dare to resist.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Prince Ning sat above him, holding a wine glass in his hand, his eyes never leaving the drink.
Perhaps after drinking, the atmosphere around her became a lot more lively. During the soft conversation, Song Shuwan was keenly aware that many eyes were falling on her. She was looked at very inexplicably. These people stared at her for no reason.
What?
At this moment, an announcement suddenly sounded outside: "The Prince has arrived at the Hou Mansion——"
Song Shuwan looked surprised, how did Pei Huan come?
After a while, Pei Huan appeared, and people around him stood up one after another: "I've seen the crown prince."
Pei Huan nodded: "You don't need to be polite."
Song Shuwan stood up and walked over, telling Prince Ning's location in a low voice.
Pei Huan raised his hands upward and said, "I have met the prince."
Prince Ning raised his brows, and his listless look disappeared, replaced by a bit of fun: "The Crown Princess said you were busy, so I asked her to come to Prince Ning's mansion to have some fun. I didn't expect that the busy Crown Prince would have time to show up."
Pei Huan smiled and said: "After I have dealt with the matters in my hands, I naturally came to sit down, not just for the banquet, but also for the safety of my wife."
When the word "safety" came out, the surroundings were silent for a moment. Many people looked at Pei Huan with panic in their eyes. What was Pei Shizi talking about? He is not the God of War in Zhou Dynasty now, and he has crippled legs and blind eyes. Really
Wouldn't it be fatal to fight against Prince Ning?
Song Shuwan coughed twice: "What did the Crown Prince say? Prince Ning's Mansion is not a dragon's nest or a tiger's den. I'm just here to attend a banquet, so I won't go out..."
"Whoosh——"
A sharp sound of wind suddenly sounded and flew past Song Shuwan's cheek. Her hair fluttered slightly and a faint trace of blood oozed from her cheek. Behind Song Shuwan, a fan was inserted into the ground and was still shaking slightly.
Prince Ning raised his hand high and said in a cold voice: "If I want to kill people, I always do it directly. Dragon Pond and Tiger Lair? Safety? Pei Huan, you don't think you can save anyone with the useless look you are now, do you?"
Pei Huan smiled slightly and was not angered by Prince Ning at all: "I am blind and have a broken leg. I am indeed a loser, but it is still easy to protect myself."
He paused and then said another thing: "I came today not to argue with Prince Ning, but to give Prince Ning a big gift."
"Big gift?"
Pei Huan nodded, raised his hand and clapped twice.
Song Shuwan wiped the blood on her cheek and turned around casually. Several secret guards appeared carrying the box. When they got close, they opened it directly.
"vomit--"
Suddenly, there was a sound of vomiting all around.
Song Shuwan frowned slightly, raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose: "Your Majesty, what is in this box?"
After saying that, she looked over and found that there was a large piece of rotting meat inside, with white maggots rolling around on it. The wind blew and the stench spread, causing another sound of nausea from all around.
Pei Huan maintained the smile on his face: "Prince Ning knows what is in this box. Let's go back to the house."
Song Shuwan glanced at Prince Ning. The latter's face was as black as coal. He was clearly extremely angry, but he still didn't move where he was, only staring at the rotten meat in the box.
So, what kind of meat is in that box?
With this thought in mind, Song Shuwan left the palace in a wheelchair. On the carriage, she asked directly.
"Dead human flesh."
These three words made Song Shuwan freeze up and look over in disbelief: "Dead human flesh? Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
Pei Huan straightened his sleeves and said calmly: "Do I look like a joke?"
Song Shuwan opened her mouth to say yes, but she paused when the words reached her lips, because Pei Huan was not a joker: "Where did the prince get those things?"
"The dungeon of Prince Ning's Mansion."
Song Shuwan opened her eyes wide: "Ning, the dungeon of Prince Ning's Mansion?"
"Prince Ning is crazy and murderous, but the people he killed in Prince Ning's mansion were never sent out of the palace, so——"
Pei Huan raised his eyes slightly, his expression turned cold, "I asked the secret guards to get all the corpses out of the dungeon."
Song Shuwan didn't know whether to call Prince Ning crazy or Pei Huan crazy for a moment: "Have you ever thought about taking out those corpses and giving them away as big gifts, compared with Prince Ning..."
Pei Huan closed his eyes: "I am not a good person to begin with. If Prince Ning sets his sights on you, I will naturally return the favor."
Song Shuwan stared at her fingertips without saying anything. Not long after, the carriage returned to the Marquis Mansion.
Before going back to the room, Song Shuwan turned to look at Pei Huan: "Since the Crown Prince doesn't like Prince Ning's attention on me, why does he want me to go to the banquet in Prince Ning's Mansion? Or maybe the Crown Prince has some other plans after the banquet.
of?"
Pei Huan smiled: "What can I think about Prince Ning?"
Song Shuwan stared at him for a long time, then turned around: "Your Majesty, it's best not to have any plans."
Pei Huan lowered his eyes: "An San."
"My subordinate is here."
"Go to Yuanzhou City and find a man named Mingshan. Once you find him, bring him back to the capital immediately."
An San was stunned: "Subordinate, go in person?"
"Yes, make sure to ensure his safety and go now."
Pei Huan emphasized his tone, An San did not dare to delay, and left quickly after saluting.
The sun gradually became brighter, and Pei Huan raised his head slightly: "Flying kite."
"My slave is here."
Fei Yuan stepped forward to push the wheelchair: "Is the Crown Prince protecting the Crown Princess? Why don't you make it clear to the Crown Princess?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "Do you think those actions of mine are for protection?"
Fei Yuan blinked: "The prince is warning Prince Ning, right? Since it is a warning, why not protect him?"
Pei Huan shook his head: "My behavior is just a warning."
While talking, a wheelchair entered the room, and Fei Yuan neatly dragged the ice basin to the side: "But in my opinion, the prince's behavior today is protection."
Pei Huan's eyes flashed with coldness, but he said nothing. Song Shuwan did not need protection when facing Prince Ning, and his behavior was because of another thing.
"Fei Yuan, you and An Yi will go to Prince Ning's Mansion tonight and bring someone out."
