"You attacked me secretly when we met, said you didn't like being rejected, and now you kidnap me without saying a word. Is this what you said without any malice?"
Song Shuwan patted the dust on her body with a sharp look on her face.
The woman in the pink skirt rolled her eyes slightly: "It's just a joke. Don't pay attention, Crown Princess."
joke?
Song Shuwan laughed in anger, but before she could speak, Pei Huan next to her suddenly said: "Kill her."
As the three familiar words fell, everyone's eyes were directed towards Pei Huan. They saw that Zi Yi, who was still struggling just now, had been pinned to the ground by An Yi and Fei Yuan.
After Pei Huan made a sound, the short knife in Fei Yuan's hand pierced Zi Yi's neck directly.
The woman in the pink skirt shrank her pupils: "My subordinates are here..."
"Puff——"
Blood gushed out from Ziyi's neck, Ziyi's eyes widened, and his whole body was breathless.
Fei Yuan slowly pulled out the short knife, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you say?"
The cold wind blew by, and the surrounding atmosphere became stagnant. The woman in the pink skirt clenched her fingers: "Prince Pei, how dare you, how dare you..."
Pei Huan said calmly: "How dare I kill her? She is just a maid. If you dare to mess with me again, I will kill you too."
In the cold tone, murderous intent swept towards the woman in the pink skirt, and the woman in the pink skirt subconsciously retreated.
"you……"
She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
In the silence, Pei Huan spoke again: "I'm back in Beijing."
Song Shuwan took a deep look at the woman in the pink skirt and turned around to Pei Huan's side. During this period, no one dared to move. They all stared blankly at Song Shuwan as she returned.
After the two parties separated, Song Shuwan unconsciously turned around. The bonfire behind was still burning, but there was no one around her.
Withdrawing her gaze, she asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty, who were those people just now? Where did they come from?"
"The princess of Beidi, Yunmo, is surrounded by her bodyguards."
"It is rare for women to serve as bodyguards."
There was a smile in Pei Huan's eyes: "Aren't the Baicao and Feiyuan around you also women?"
Song Shuwan chuckled and said, "It's my negligence. However, if the prince asked Fei Yuan to kill that Ziyi, Princess Yunmo might not let it go."
Pei Huan knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair: "No matter how unwilling she is, she can only endure it."
While talking, the two got into the carriage.
Half an hour later, the carriage approached the capital. Song Shuwan listened to the reminder from outside and quickly opened the window to take a look.
"Is the Crown Prince planning to enter the city overnight?"
Pei Huan nodded lightly: "I have a token from the emperor, which allows the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate as an exception."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan stopped talking.
At dawn the next day, as soon as Song Shuwan got up, she heard Baicao coming to report: "Princess Yun is here."
Song Shuwan's eyes dimmed, and after a simple wash, she went to the front hall, where Princess Yun sat expressionless.
"I've met the princess."
Song Shuwan was the first to speak out when she entered the hall. Princess Yun turned her head slightly and looked at Song Shuwan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I feel relieved to see that the Crown Princess is not injured."
Song Shuwan smiled slightly, replied casually, and sat down opposite Princess Yun: "I wonder why the princess is here today?"
Princess Yun put her hands on her knees and said softly: "I just came to see the Crown Princess."
Just came to see her?
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes to cover up her changing emotions: "Thank you, Princess, for your concern."
The two were chatting, and not long after, Princess Yun mentioned the Wangfu Villa: "When the Crown Princess returns to the Marquis' Mansion, is she still willing to go to the Wangfu Villa?"
Before Song Shuwan could answer, a male voice came from outside the hall.
"Princess Yun's concern right now should not be where she is, but the birthday banquet in five days."
The sound of rolling wooden wheels approached. Song Shuwan looked at Pei Huan who appeared and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Your Majesty, did you just come back from outside?"
Pei Huan nodded, and his calm eyes fell on Princess Yun: "Does the princess think that yesterday's incident in Anle Village can be settled by just coming here?"
As soon as these words came out, Princess Yun frowned slightly: "Yesterday's incident in Anle Village is indeed my problem. I already know that it is wrong. Do you still plan to investigate it further?"
Pei Huan smiled: "My eldest concubine almost had an accident because of the princess. If the same thing happened to Prince Yun, would he not investigate it further?"
Princess Yun frowned: "How can we put this in one place?"
Pei Huan's face darkened: "Why can't we talk about it in one place? Is it possible that in Princess Yun's eyes, my people are not worth protecting?"
Having said this, the atmosphere in the entire hall fell into stasis.
Princess Yun also noticed something was wrong and apologized: "Your Majesty, I misunderstood. I just made a slip of the tongue. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Pei Huan sneered: "This is not something that I forgive or not. I think I want to ask for something from King Yun, but what I ask for is what King Yun should do. Under such circumstances, why do you two treat it as something like this?
Is it a bargaining chip against me?"
Princess Yun frowned: "Your Majesty and I did not regard this as a bargaining chip to manipulate the Crown Prince. There have been many things going on recently, and I didn't react for a while..."
"Princess, there is no need to say more."
Pei Huan interrupted her and made a condition in a cold voice: "You can just hand the little princess over to me for now, and we will wait for Prince Yun to come out of the prison for the rest."
Princess Yun frowned and said nothing.
Seeing this, Pei Huan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, does the princess have any objections to this? If so, then we have to talk about it carefully..."
Princess Yun quickly said: "No objection, but the little princess is not in the capital right now. If the prince wants her, he has to send someone to pick her up."
"no problem."
Pei Huan called An Yi and said, "Follow Princess Yun to pick up someone."
"yes."
Princess Yun clenched her fingers slightly, and even though all kinds of thoughts went through her mind, the only thing she said in the end was goodbye.
Song Shuwan watched the group leave, turned to look at Pei Huan again, and couldn't help but pursed her lips. As soon as Pei Huan appeared, she noticed something was wrong. The man's anger was not in line with his usual temperament at all. She didn't expect that the man was wearing a ring.
Huan actually wanted to force Princess Yun to hand over the little princess.
Pinching her eyebrows, Song Shuwan sighed: "The prince is really good at scheming."
Pei Huan lowered his eyes and said, "I'm just going with the flow. Do you want to go back to Wangfu Villa?"
Song Shuwan thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I won't go away. I have already eliminated the poison in the princess's body. The rest just needs medication."
Hearing this, Pei Huan talked about yesterday's palace banquet: "Princess Jingyang officially made her appearance."
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "What does the Queen Mother want to do by letting Princess Jingyang show up at this time?"
"Instead of asking what the Queen Mother wants to do, it is better to ask what the Emperor wants to do."
Song Shuwan narrowed her eyes: "What the prince means, is this the emperor's intention?"
Pei Huan smiled and said nothing, but the look on his face gave Song Shuwan the answer.
After a long time, Song Shuwan sighed: "The Emperor's birthday banquet will be held in five days. It should be calmer, right?"
