At night, when Song Shuwan was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow on the bedside. She was so startled that she sat up instantly. After seeing the person clearly through the moonlight, she couldn't help but feel a little more annoyed.
"Fei Yuan, why did you come here to scare me if you didn't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Fei Yuan hesitated several times and said in a low voice: "This is my slave. I just want to come and see the Crown Princess."
Song Shuwan rubbed her eyebrows: "Look at me? What can I see?"
"The Crown Princess is so beautiful, how come there is nothing to see?"
Fei Yuan spoke righteously, but Song Shuwan was speechless. She rubbed her brows and said helplessly: "If you have nothing else to do, just leave first, don't..."
"The Crown Princess."
Fei Yuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Song Shuwan's unfinished words.
Song Shuwan paused and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"Prince Princess, I will always protect you."
With that said, Fei Yuan turned around and ran away.
Song Shuwan looked at the wide open window. The moonlight was like water, as if there was a chill in it. But in Song Shuwan's view, it felt a little more dry for some reason. What was going on with this flying kite? Why was it so weird?
Really unable to think of a reason, Song Shuwan lay back on the bed and her thoughts unconsciously flew to the banquet at Prince Ning's Mansion. What was Pei Huan thinking behind his back?
Her behavior during the day seemed strange to her.
The next day, Duke Xinguo's mansion suddenly sent a message saying that Duke Xinguo missed Song Shuwan so much and wanted to invite her back.
Baicao stood aside, with a bit of worry in her eyes: "Prince Princess, do you want to go back?"
Song Shuwan was speechless. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head: "Just say that I am not feeling well and cannot move around."
Upon hearing this, Baicao saluted and sent the message back to the Duke of Xinguo.
Unexpectedly, Song Shuwan saw Duke Xin Guo in the Hou Mansion that afternoon. Looking at the sudden appearance of the person, she frowned slightly: "What are you?"
Duke Xin Guo sighed: "I came to see you. I heard that the prince has been injured recently. You have been taking care of him. You must be very tired, right? You are a bit slow."
Song Shuwan twitched the corners of her lips: "I'm not tired, but I'm just a little surprised to see you. I wonder why you came here this time?"
"Just came to see you."
Duke Xinguo acted in a loving manner, never stopping to talk about anything else, and all his words were expressed with concern.
But the more he behaved like this, the more doubtful Song Shuwan became. After several times, she directly interrupted Duke Xin.
"Just tell me why you came here today."
Duke Xin Guo smiled slightly: "What can I do? Isn't it just that I'm here to contact you and express feelings?"
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and several boys immediately came in from outside the house, each holding a tray in their hands, covered with red cloth, making it difficult to see what was in the tray.
Duke Xin said quietly: "Since the last time you replied to the Duke's office, I have been thinking about my attitude towards you and found that what I did in the past was indeed wrong and you were wronged. No, I will make up for it now." You, can you forgive me? Forget about the past, we are still..."
Song Shuwan interrupted him: "You don't need to say so much. The involvement between Xinguo Gongfu and me was written off as early as when I married into the Houfu. I don't need your compensation. Please bring these things with you." go back."
"How could I bring back the things I gave you? Just keep them. If you don't want to see me, I'll just leave."
Duke Xin Guo said it very humbly, but as he left, he really took the people away, leaving Song Shuwan alone looking at the things around her, her brows furrowed tightly.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. What does the behavior of Duke Xin mean?
Just as she was thinking about it, the sound of wooden wheels rolling across the ground was heard. Song Shuwan came back to her senses, saw Pei Huan appeared, and walked over slowly.
"I heard that Duke Xin is here?"
Song Shuwan said "hmm" and said, "I just left."
Pei Huan asked: "Why did he come here?"
"You said I was wronged before, please give me some compensation." When Song Shuwan said this, her face showed sarcasm. If she really felt that she had been wronged, how could she react at this moment?
"That's all, let's not mention him. How is the prince's health lately? Did Mr. Han say anything?"
"It feels pretty good. Mr. Han didn't say anything. He just said that we should continue to maintain the status quo."
"Maintain the status?"
Song Shuwan repeated a few words, wondering in her heart, why did Han Sanzhen let the man's position remain the same?
"Let me check the prince's pulse."
Pei Huan stretched out his hand in cooperation and felt the slender fingertips on his wrist. He said softly: "There may be something going on in the city recently. If possible, try not to go out."
Song Shuwan paused slightly, nodded and said, "I understand."
After a moment, she took back her hand and heard Pei Huan ask: "How?"
"I don't see anything wrong. Mr. Han... I'll go talk to him."
"Um."
After that, neither of them spoke. After a while, Pei Huan left. Song Shuwan looked at his figure, stood there for a moment, and then went to Lanyuan.
"Han Langzhong."
Han Sanzhen was flipping through medical books when he heard a voice and raised his head slightly: "For Pei Huan?"
Song Shuwan nodded: "I would like to ask about the prince's nursing care."
"That's it. No matter how well you take care of yourself, it's useless if I don't care."
Song Shuwan smiled slightly: "The prince still cares about his body, Mr. Han, about my father..."
Before she could finish speaking, Han Sanzhen quickly stood up and turned his back, making it clear that he didn't want to talk in depth.
Seeing this, Song Shuwan could only give a wry smile, suppress the words she had not yet spoken, and then talk about the medical book Han Sanzhen put on the table: "Is this the medical book from the Valley of Divine Medicine?"
Han Sanzhen glanced at it: "Yes, if you are interested, just take it and have a look."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and picked up the medical book with a smile: "Then I would rather obey your orders than to be respectful. By the way, it is already August and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I heard that there will be a lantern festival in the capital recently. If you are interested, Doctor Han can go
Take a look?"
Han Sanzhen looked a little dazed: "It's August so soon?"
After saying that, he snorted coldly: "I don't dare to go to the lantern festival with the Crown Princess. Okay, just leave if you have nothing to do. Don't disturb me."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan didn't stay any longer and left Lanyuan with the medical book in hand.
After walking a few steps, Baicao hurriedly came over, with a bit of solemnity on his face: "Prince Concubine, Tao'er is missing."
Song Shuwan paused: "Tao'er disappeared? When did it happen?"
"I don't know, but I heard... the maid who lives with her said that Tao'er hasn't been back for two days."
Song Shuwan's figure swayed, and she realized belatedly that she hadn't seen Tao'er for a long time: "Who was the last person to see Tao'er?"
"My slave has sent someone to investigate, but the results haven't come out yet."
Song Shuwan clenched her fingers and tried to calm down: "Check carefully, we must find Tao'er!"
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, followed closely by An Yi who came running: "Prince Princess, let's go quickly."
