Song Shuwan heard the announcement and went to the front hall: "I have met His Highness."
The fourth prince's face turned dark: "Stop pretending to be a fool here. How can you use medicinal herbs to control this prince?"
Song Shuwan smiled slightly: "It is true that medicinal herbs cannot control the fourth prince, but this is the emperor's decree. Does the fourth prince want to resist the decree?"
"you……"
The fourth prince was furious, but he paused after saying a word, and said after a moment: "Of course I will not resist the order, but I don't know much about medicinal materials. If the imperial concubine wants my help, she must tell me what the medicine is. Bar?"
Song Shuwan said calmly: "This is what I must say, but before talking about this matter, I would like to ask the fourth prince and his wife to go see the crown prince."
After that, she walked out directly.
The fourth prince's eyes flashed with displeasure, but after thinking about it, he still followed.
"What do you want to see him for?"
Song Shuwan remained silent. When she arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard, she opened the door of Pei Huan's room and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is here."
Pei Huan was sitting in the wheelchair. He raised his head slightly after hearing this: "I've seen the fourth prince, please sit down."
The fourth prince hummed and sat down opposite Pei Huan: "The Crown Princess invites me to come and help her find some medicinal materials."
Pei Huan smiled slightly: "Looking for medicinal materials is just an excuse. In fact, I want to see the fourth prince."
As soon as these words came out, the expression on the fourth prince's face became stiff: "Do you want to see me?"
He asked and stood up without waiting for an answer.
The next moment, An Yi stepped forward, pressed his shoulders, and asked him to sit back directly: "Fourth Prince, my heir apparent hasn't finished speaking yet, so don't leave in a hurry."
The fourth prince looked at him: "Prince Pei, are you going to take action against me?"
Pei Huan smiled and shook his head, then slowly poured a cup of tea for the fourth prince: "You are the prince, how can I do something to the prince? There are just some things that require the fourth prince's help."
The fourth prince's face was ashen and he said he would not do anything to him. The rope on his body was never untied all the way from Mingzhou City to Yuanzhou City.
He thought so, but the fourth prince didn't say anything. Instead, after a brief silence, he asked Pei Huan about his purpose.
"What do you want my prince to do?"
Pei Huan glanced at An Yi, who nodded and quickly took out a jade pendant.
"I got this jade pendant accidentally a few days ago. I wonder if the fourth prince is familiar with it?"
The fourth prince glanced at the jade pendant, reached out to take it, and shook his head after a moment: "I have never seen this jade pendant before."
Pei Huan spoke slowly: "Have you never seen it before, or have you seen it but don't want to tell me?"
The fourth prince threw the jade pendant on the table: "What's the difference between the two? Anyway, I don't like this jade pendant..."
With a "swipe" sound, a long sword was placed on his neck.
An Yi spoke: "The fourth prince must think carefully before speaking, otherwise, I cannot guarantee what this sword will do."
The atmosphere in the room became stagnant, and the fourth prince narrowed his eyes. The anger in his heart surged several times, but he suppressed it.
"Pei Huan, you can't keep your subordinates here."
"Without caring about the Fourth Prince, tell me, does your Highness have any impressions of this jade pendant?"
The fourth prince closed his eyes and after a long time uttered a sentence: "I have seen him over there in Qingyang."
"Little princess?"
Pei Huan murmured in a low voice and waved his hand for An Yi to retreat: "I have offended so many people today. Please forgive me, the fourth prince. Wan'er, please see off the guest for me."
Song Shuwan nodded and led the fourth prince to leave Qingfengyuan.
As soon as they left the hospital, the fourth prince said coldly: "Concubine Pei, I have recorded today's humiliation."
After that, he left directly bypassing Song Shuwan.
Song Shuwan smiled slightly, did not comment on the fourth prince's words, and sent him to the gate of the Hou Mansion before turning around.
"People are gone?"
Song Shuwan nodded and sat down opposite Pei Huan: "Is a piece of jade pendant worth the prince going around such a big circle to invite the fourth prince?"
Pei Huan said lightly: "A piece of jade pendant is naturally not worth it, but what is hidden behind the jade pendant is enough."
Song Shuwan narrowed her eyes: "What's hidden behind the jade pendant? I don't know..."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Huan suddenly bent down: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"My wound seems to have opened."
The wound opens?
Song Shuwan's forehead twitched, and without thinking about it, she went directly to Pei Huan's side and said, "Take off your coat."
As soon as she stretched out her hand, a voice from outside came in again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Marquis and Mrs. Marquis are here."
Song Shuwan paused, why did Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou come here at this time?
Pei Huan raised his head, cold sweat sliding down his face: "Invite people in."
"yes."
After a while, Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou entered the house.
At that time, Pei Huan's face had tensed up, and there was no abnormality in his tall and straight figure.
Song Shuwan watched from the side, looking at his back uncontrollably. Sitting like this for a long time, the wound will definitely be affected and aggravated. She must let Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou leave quickly.
At this moment, the Marquis said: "I came here today to claim the position of Dingyuan Marquis. I want to give this position to your brother. What do you think?"
Pei Huan frowned slightly and put one hand on the armrest: "You said you were asking, but in fact, you have already taken action, right? What did the emperor say?"
The Marquis's face turned a little dark, but he soon regained his composure: "The Emperor naturally agreed, but he just took care of you, so he asked me to come and take a look."
Having said this, the Marquis paused for a moment and said in a slightly more serious tone: "Don't think this is unfair to you. You are not doing well now. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, you cannot take over the position of Dingyuan Marquis.
Even if I want to give it to you, it’s just that I’m powerless.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shuwan asked: "If the Crown Prince's legs recover, will the Marquis really be willing to give the Crown Prince the position of Marquis of Dingyuan?"
The Marquis stiffened, and there was some hesitation in his expression: "If his legs can recover, then I will naturally be willing to do so."
It's willingness, not willingness.
Song Shuwan noticed the change in her words, and sarcasm flashed in her eyes. Marquis Dingyuan kept talking about the rules, but in fact he was the most unruly.
At this time, Pei Huan said quietly: "Are you sure you really want to?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Hou's expression became stiff, and the hesitation on his face became much more obvious. Song Shuwan's and Pei Huan's inquiries were different. The former could be perfunctory, but the latter had the ability to turn the situation around. Once he said something
If you export, there will be no room for regret.
In the silence, the atmosphere in the room gradually became awkward.
Time passed, and Mrs. Hou couldn't help but jumped out: "The position of Marquis Dingyuan belongs to your father, and he can give it to whoever he wants. Pei Huan, I know you have resentment in your heart, but you shouldn't have resentment, and you can't
There is resentment because this is the law of the Zhou Dynasty and the rules of the Marquis Mansion!"
