As soon as Fei Yuan finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared next to her, and she pulled Song Shuwan away without even thinking.
"boom!"
The shadow that rushed over fell to the ground, blood gushed out, and soon soaked the ground.
Song Shuwan looked at the corpse on the ground, her face turned a little pale, but she soon regained her composure and said, "We have to go find the prince quickly, and we can't waste time in the prince's mansion."
Fei Yuan tilted her head and said with a solemn expression: "But the Crown Princess, we don't know where the Crown Prince is."
Song Shuwan said lightly: "He is in the palace."
Cheng Qing said before that Pei Huan was not in the mansion, so judging from the current situation, he had only one place to go.
Fei Yuan opened her eyes wide: "I will protect the Crown Princess and wait in front of the palace."
Song Shuwan nodded and the others ran out. Unexpectedly, they met Pei Huan who turned around at the door.
"What happened?"
Pei Huan looked very ugly and looked at Fei Yuan while asking.
Fei Yuan pursed her lips: "Cheng Qing betrayed."
In just five words, Pei Huan understood the key.
At this time, Song Shuwan said: "Didn't the prince encounter any problems on his way back to his home?"
Pei Huan said lightly: "I encountered some accidents, but those accidents have no impact on me."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, feeling helpless for no reason. An accident that had no impact on Pei Huan might kill her if it happened to her.
After a brief silence, Pei Huan sent people to clean up the mess and quickly killed all the assassins. The smell of blood filled the Qingfeng Courtyard, and the corpses were carried out one by one.
Song Shuwan watched from the side and suddenly asked: "Where is Cheng Qing? Have you caught her?"
Pei Huan was speechless and looked at An Yi beside him.
An Yi said: "She escaped, but my subordinates have sent people to hunt her down. If she escapes to the ends of the earth, the only way is to be arrested."
Pei Huan nodded, but before he could speak, a figure suddenly appeared next to him.
Tang Wan'er strode forward: "Prince Princess, I want to go back to Dali Temple."
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, you were questioning me earlier about why I wanted to send you back?"
Tang Wan'er looked ugly: "The two of us made a deal, and you violated the terms of the deal. Naturally, I want to question you."
Song Shuwan smiled: "I also said that those words were not passed on to you by me."
Tang Wan'er sneered: "Those words are indeed not from you, but isn't the person who spread them also related to you?"
Having said this, Tang Wan'er's eyes fell on Pei Huan.
Pei Huan asked: "What message was preached?"
Song Shuwan recounted the previous conversation, and a coldness flashed in Pei Huan's eyes: "I asked Cheng Qing to tell those words indeed. Tang Wan'er, there are too many people involved in you. If you stay in the Hou Mansion, it will only make the Hou Mansion worse.
When you are in a dilemma, I think you don’t want anything to happen to the person who is helping you, right?”
After saying this, Tang Wan'er sneered: "Well, I don't want anything to happen to the people who help me. I know that the Crown Prince is trying to persuade me, but I don't know that I think the Crown Prince is threatening me."
Pei Huan straightened his sleeves: "Whatever you think, in short, I have put it here. You know how to choose, Tang Wan'er, don't do anything wrong."
After that, Pei Huan asked An Yi to push the wheelchair and leave.
Song Shuwan stayed where she was and waited for the man to disappear before turning around: "Tang..."
"I have just made it clear that I want to go back to Dali Temple, so there is no need for the Crown Princess to say more."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips: "In that case, I won't say much more. Baicao and Feiyuan, you two can take Miss Tang back to Dali Temple. Remember to bring some secret guards with you to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Baicao and Feiyuan exchanged glances and saluted at the same time: "I understand."
After Tang Wan'er left, Song Shuwan went to look for Pei Huan. As soon as she entered the door, she realized something was wrong. There was a smell of blood in the room.
At first, Song Shuwan thought it was coming from outside, but after careful identification, she immediately focused on Pei Huan.
"The prince is injured."
There are five words in one sentence, and the tone is all determined.
Pei Huan turned his head slightly and nodded after a moment of silence: "I was slightly injured."
Song Shuwan frowned and walked to Pei Huan's side in a few steps: "Where is the injury? Let me see."
Pei Huan took off his coat and exposed the wound on his shoulder. It had been wrapped up, and only blood stains could be seen on the white gauze.
Song Shuwan wanted to lift off the gauze to check, but she took it back before her fingertips fell. She smelled the smell of medicine, which was the medicine she gave to Pei Huan.
Putting her thoughts away, Song Shuwan said displeasedly: "Didn't the prince say that the accident you encountered can't affect you? How come you are still injured so badly?"
Pei Huan slowly put on his coat: "This injury is not serious. It will only take a while to recover. But in the house, I didn't expect Cheng Qing to betray her."
Song Shuwan said lightly: "I didn't expect Cheng Qing to betray me. To be honest, I don't understand why she chose to betray at this time?"
Pei Huan narrowed his eyes: "Because, the emperor left everything behind."
"thing?"
Song Shuwan reacted belatedly, but soon another thought emerged: "Does the emperor want to take action when he leaves those things, or..."
Before she finished speaking, she and Pei Huan looked at each other.
In the silence, Song Shuwan pinched her eyebrows, and anger suddenly rose in her heart: "What on earth do the emperor think, those..."
"No matter what you think, the Emperor has your plans. As ministers, we just need to listen."
Song Shu was about to say something but stopped, and after a long time sighed: "Your Majesty, are you really willing to just listen to me like this?"
Pei Huan smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Song Shuwan didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and left Pei Huan's room.
That night, Pei Huan entered the palace again and came out of the palace just before dawn. Later, Song Shuwan learned from Pei Huan that envoys from Tatar and Beidi were coming to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
As soon as these words came out, Song Shuwan was surprised: "Coming to Beijing at this time? Is the matter at the border considered over?"
Pei Huan shook his head: "King Yong left Beijing last night and rushed to the border."
Song Shuwan frowned: "If he goes to the border, what will happen to the Seventh Prince's case?"
Pei Huan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Now it is no longer a matter of whose case it is, Wan'er, the key is to save Da Zhou."
Song Shuwan was silent. She knew that preserving the Great Zhou Dynasty was the key, but it did not mean that she could accept King Yong's departure. Obviously...
After a long silence, Song Shuwan tilted her head: "Isn't it just waiting? I have a lot of patience."
Pei Huan looked at her deeply and said another thing: "Do you still remember that I destroyed Hongfang earlier?"
Song Shuwan came back to her senses: "Remember, why, something went wrong?"
Pei Huan nodded: "There is news from Mingzhou City that the Red Square has appeared over there,"
Song Shuwan fell into deep thought: "So the prince is going to Mingzhou City?"
Pei Huan corrected: "You and I will go together, and we will take Tang Wan'er with us."
