Song Shuwan was a little stunned. She didn't understand why Pei Huan took her and Tang Wan'er with him when he went to Mingzhou City.
"Your Majesty, Mingzhou City is not close to the capital. Once we leave, the situation in the capital will be difficult to control."
Pei Huan smiled slightly: "Do you think I will leave without any backup plan if I leave at this time?"
The two people's eyes met. After a moment's pause, Song Shuwan looked away first: "Since the Crown Prince knows what's going on, I won't say anything. I just don't know when the Crown Prince is going to leave?"
"It's better to leave sooner rather than later this afternoon."
Song Shuwan nodded to express her understanding, and after returning to the room, she asked Baicao and Feiyuan to pack their luggage.
On the other side, An Yi also took Tang Wan'er out of the Dali Temple prison.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Tang Wan'er still couldn't react: "Do you people in the Hou Mansion have brain problems? You just sent me back yesterday and brought me back today. Is it interesting to go back and forth?"
An glanced at her: "It's not that it's interesting, it's just that my eldest son and his eldest concubine are about to leave the capital, and I'm afraid that if you stay here, there will be no one to treat your poisonous hair."
Tang Wan'er's heart skipped a beat: "Even so, they shouldn't take me with them when they leave Beijing, right? Does the Emperor allow it?"
"If the emperor doesn't allow it, you won't be able to leave Dali Temple."
An Yi said, pushing the door open and entering: "Your Majesty, I have brought him back."
Pei Huan turned around and his scrutinizing eyes fell on Tang Wan'er: "An Yi should have told you about the situation, right?"
"Yes, he did say that, but I'm a little confused. After so many things were handed over to the emperor, he didn't react at all?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "It's not that he didn't respond, it's just that his reaction is not clear yet. Why, you don't want to leave with us?"
Tang Wan'er immediately denied it: "I can leave Beijing. Of course I want to leave Beijing. But after leaving Beijing, can you guarantee my safety?"
Pei Huan smiled: "If you stay in the capital, can Dali Temple guarantee your safety?"
When their eyes met, Tang Wan'er snorted coldly. Even though she knew it in her heart, she still said: "I still have some impression on the emperor. Dali Temple can't protect me, but there is still the emperor."
"If the emperor wanted to protect you, he would not have allowed you to leave the capital."
A female voice came from outside the door.
Song Shuwan entered the room under the gaze of several people: "My luggage has been packed. How is the prince's situation?"
"That's fine. If there's nothing missing, just leave."
Song Shuwan nodded: "I understand."
The two of them said that they went to make arrangements separately, leaving Tang Wan'er frowning in place, thinking about it, and left with Song Shuwan.
Song Shuwan noticed the movement behind her and asked, "Why are you following me?"
Tang Wan'er walked slowly behind. After hearing this, she asked, "If I don't follow you, are you still following Pei Huan?"
Song Shuwan wanted to laugh a little: "Call him Crown Prince in front of him, and then call him by name after he leaves?"
Tang Wan'er smiled slightly: "Although he is disabled, he is the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will still give him the respect I show."
"Is it respect or fear of death?"
Song Shuwan directly exposed Tang Wan'er. This person is very courageous, but when it comes to her own life, he is also really timid.
Tang Wan'er didn't say anything, but the speed of her feet slowed down significantly, and she quickly distanced herself from Song Shuwan.
In this regard, Song Shuwan said nothing, but before entering the house, she asked Tang Wan'er to follow Baicao to the next room.
"The place we are going to is quite far away. You have just come out of Dali Temple and you must be missing a lot of things. You and Baicao will see what you need and try to get everything ready before we leave. It's really too late. Wait.
It’s okay to prepare on the way.”
Tang Wan'er raised her eyebrows and suddenly approached Song Shuwan: "Has anyone ever said that the Crown Princess is very gentle?"
Song Shuwan was stunned. It was a few years ago that the word "gentle" was applied to her. There are not many people who can say this nowadays.
Thinking about it, she shook her head and said: "It was there before, but not now. Miss Tang, we are already preparing to leave. Please don't waste time here and get ready quickly."
Tang Wan'er smiled and turned around at Baicao's urging: "I don't know about others, but I will definitely remember the Princess's gentleness for a long time."
Song Shuwan was speechless. She didn't care how long Tang Wan'er could remember. For her, Tang Wan'er's greatest use was the evidence.
Without evidence, Tang Wan'er is just a stranger to Song Shuwan.
Less than half an hour later, several carriages left the Marquis' Mansion and went in several directions after leaving the capital. They were going anywhere, but two of them went south along the official road.
Soon someone followed the two carriages and gradually moved away from the capital.
In the Hou Mansion, Song Shuwan glanced at Pei Huan: "The convoy used as a cover-up has left. When will we leave?"
Pei Huan remained unmoved: "Wait a little longer."
They waited for several hours. Near noon, several more carriages left the Hou Mansion.
The people behind the scenes noticed something unusual, and it was too late to recall their men. In the end, they could only watch the second wave of carriages go away in suspicion.
On the swaying carriage, Song Shuwan opened the window slightly, her calm eyes fell behind her, and she closed the window after a moment.
"No one is catching up."
Pei Huan was leaning against the wall of the car, closing his eyes and concentrating. After hearing this, he said: "After suffering a loss, those people will hesitate. Once they hesitate, it is our chance to leave."
Song Shuwan tilted her head: "The prince is very sure that the people behind the scenes will be affected?"
"It's not certain, but certain."
Pei Huan opened his eyes, and a flash of disdain quickly flashed through him: "Civil officials are often calculating, but they are also suspicious because of this. Suspicious people are much easier to deal with than stubborn people."
Having said this, Pei Huan paused for a moment: "What's more, I didn't just act as a cover-up. What really caused them a headache was some of the evidence I left for the emperor."
Song Shuwan was shocked: "The prince has disrupted the situation in the capital?"
Pei Huan disagreed: "I'm just following the trend. The situation in the capital cannot be stabilized even if I don't take action."
During the conversation between the two, the carriage gradually drove away, and arrived at Yuanzhou City the next day.
Today, Yuanzhou City has a new governor named Li Xun.
Song Shuwan and her group entered the city in a low-key manner without attracting anyone's attention. Unexpectedly, the group suddenly appeared in the middle of the night and directly surrounded the inn where they were staying.
The great noise woke up Song Shuwan. She put on her coat and hurried downstairs, when she heard a laughing voice: "Prince Pei and his concubine passed by Yuanzhou City, why didn't they say a word? If the news spread, I would tell the official.
If you don’t understand the rules, you can’t even entertain.”
After a brief pause, Pei Huan's voice sounded: "Prefect Li, you're too polite. I'm just passing by. There's no need to treat me specially."
