Song Shuwan looked at the man in front of her, a sentence stuck in her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a long time.
After a while, Pei Huan left, leaving her alone, and returned to the room after a long time.
In the evening, Pei Huan turned around, saw Song Shuwan, and told Sun Yunzhu's situation: "The Sun family's rebellion, considering their past achievements in guarding the border, only the head of the mastermind will be involved, and the rest of the Sun family will not be involved."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips: "Others in the Sun family may not be innocent."
"I know, but this is an explanation to the generals of the Manchu Dynasty. After all, the emperor has to make some concessions."
As soon as these words came out, Song Shuwan frowned: "Just because he is a military commander, the emperor wants to give in?"
"The emperor's concession is not just because of this." Pei Huan looked at her deeply, "No matter how deep it is, it is useless for me to talk to you now."
Song Shuwan nodded: "I understand."
While the two were talking, an outside guard came to report: "Prince Yun's mansion has sent a message, asking the crown prince and his concubine to go to the mansion tomorrow."
Song Shuwan's eyes dimmed and she asked: "Your Majesty, do you think we should go tomorrow?"
"Go, not only go, but go with great fanfare."
The two people's eyes met, and Song Shuwan was a little stunned: "In a big way? What is the prince going to do?"
"Some people deserve a warning."
At dawn the next day, the guards of Dingyuan Houfu protected the carriage as it passed through the street, attracting the attention of many people.
"Is that the carriage from Dingyuan Marquis? In the past, we only saw carriages, but never such a grand display."
"Who says it's not the case? With so many guards, where are they going?"
In the carriage, Song Shuwan listened to the discussion outside and couldn't help pinching her eyebrows: "Your Majesty, there are too many guards."
Pei Huan leaned on the back of his wheelchair and said in a calm tone: "I told you to make a big show with few guards, how can we attract attention?"
Song Shuwan opened her mouth silently. When the carriage stopped, she got out first. A moment later, Pei Huan's wheelchair came to her side.
Pei Huan said: "It's useless to hide. The carriage of Dingyuan Marquis can only seat a few people."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Yun appeared: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we meet again."
Song Shuwan glanced behind her: "Prince Yun is not here today?"
"There is something going on in the palace. Your Majesty went there early in the morning. Please come into the mansion."
Song Shuwan turned around and saw Pei Huan nodding, so she took the wheelchair and pushed it away.
After entering the villa's hall, two maids brought tea and left.
Song Shuwan raised her eyes and went straight to the topic: "I wonder why Princess Yun sent a message to invite the prince and me to come?"
Princess Yun just picked up the tea cup and smiled slightly when she heard this: "It's not urgent. Princess Yun, please try this tea first. It tastes very good."
She praised the tea, and Song Shuwan was a little surprised. She took a slow sip of the tea and said, "This tea is really good. It has a rich and mellow aroma. Is it a new tea?"
"This is new tea, and the quantity is extremely rare. In the past, it was only available in the palace."
Song Shuwan paused slightly, and her scrutinizing eyes fell on Princess Yun. After a moment of silence, she asked: "What do the princess's words mean?"
The curve of Princess Yun's mouth deepened: "What can I mean? I just want to invite the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince to have a taste of this excellent tea."
At this time, Pei Huan said: "The tea is indeed good, but the quantity is too small. Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, only a few people can taste it. It would be better if it were replaced by a common one. It is not required that everyone can taste it.
But it’s not like it’s controlled by someone and can’t leak out.”
Pei Huan seemed to be talking about tea, but the hint in his tone was very obvious.
The hall fell into silence, and as time passed, the atmosphere gradually became stagnant.
After a long time, there was a soft "ta" sound, and Princess Yun put down the tea cup, and the smile on her face disappeared: "What the Crown Prince said is reasonable, but it's a pity that good tea is always scarce. This is not something that human power can influence.
of."
Pei Huan stroked the tea cup: "Princess Yun is right, human power does not affect good tea, but..."
He raised his eyes for a moment, then put down the tea cup in his hand: "I don't believe it."
I do not believe.
Just three words made the atmosphere in the hall become stagnant again.
Song Shuwan glanced at the two of them and frowned slightly. Both Pei Huan and Princess Yun had something to say, but she didn't understand the situation behind the scenes, so she was confused.
Good tea, manpower? What exactly do you mean?
In the silence, a hearty laughter spread into the hall.
"I haven't seen the Crown Prince and Crown Princess for a few days, and the relationship between you two seems to have become much closer."
After the words fell, King Yun entered the hall, with one hand behind his back, and the smile on his brows made him very gentle.
Pei Huan glanced at him, avoided his words, and said, "Your Majesty suddenly left without saying goodbye two days ago, but it made me really worried."
Prince Yun laughed loudly: "The situation was urgent at that time. It was my fault that I didn't have time to say goodbye to the crown prince. So, today the crown prince and his concubine stay in the other village to have a simple meal. I will make amends with a good drink."
"No."
Pei Huan directly rejected his proposal and said in a calm tone: "There are still some things to deal with in the house. If I stay at least half an hour, I will have to take my wife back."
Regret appeared on King Yun's face: "Really? That's such a pity. I even went out of my way to find some fine wine, hoping to get drunk with the prince."
"Let's wait for another day. Let's not talk about this anymore. The prince sent someone to deliver the post to the Marquis. It must be something serious, right? I don't know why?"
When Pei Huan mentioned the post, King Yun listened, and the smile in his eyebrows gradually disappeared, and then he let out a long sigh: "There is indeed something serious, and it is for the border. Now the situation at the border is unclear, and I am really worried about the people there.
It hurts."
"I have made it clear to the Emperor that as long as the Emperor gives his permission, I can go to the border to suppress the Tatars and Beidi. Your Majesty, there is no need to feel heartbroken."
Prince Yun said in a heavy tone: "Having said that, it takes two months from the capital to the border. During this period, if something happens, it will be... a river of blood. What do you think, Princess Royal?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyes slightly: "The prince is right, but the prince has forgotten that there is Prince Yong on the border. If Tatar and Beidi really want to take action, Prince Yong can delay it for a while."
Although she has enmity with King Yong, having King Yong at the border is indeed a blessing to the people.
King Yun, on the other hand, talked so much, but said nothing that really touched on the key to the situation. Is he going around in circles just to talk nonsense? Or does King Yun have other motives for talking such nonsense?
Thinking of this, she looked at Pei Huan beside her, who happened to be looking at her as well.
The two people's eyes met, and the moment they met, Song Shuwan frowned. Did Pei Huan know what King Yun was going to do?
