In the evening, Song Shuwan led Baicao back to the Hou Mansion. Not long after returning to the courtyard, An Yi appeared with a pile of account books.
"The Crown Princess, these are the account books of the four shops from the beginning of the year to the present. The Crown Prince asked his subordinates to send them to the Crown Princess for her review."
Song Shuwan flipped through the account book casually. When she collected the land deed, she had paid attention to the shops. The four shops were cloth shop, rice shop, incense shop and dim sum shop.
Now that the account book has been delivered, she has to find time to take a look at it.
"Thank you, Prince, for me. I will read this account book."
Hearing this, An Yang held up his hands and wanted to retreat.
Song Shuwan looked at his figure and suddenly remembered the red square mentioned by Baicao during the day. Baicao mentioned it briefly and did not mention it in detail.
She thought that as Pei Huan's secret guard, An Yi should know about Hongfang.
"An Yi, wait."
An paused for a moment, then turned around in confusion: "What other orders does the Crown Princess have?"
Song Shuwan nodded and asked, "Do you know Hongfang?"
Red Square!
An Yi said without thinking: "Prince Princess, that place is not suitable for you to go."
Song Shuwan held her cheek with one hand, doubts flashed in her eyes. Baicao also said the same thing, but an organization that sells things would never do anything to the customers who come to the door, right?
Wait, Baicao didn't explain why she was not suitable to go to Hongfang at that time, she only talked about the situation of Hongfang.
Thinking about it, Song Shuwan asked: "Why do you say it's not suitable for me to go?"
"that place……"
An Yi frowned and hesitated several times before saying truthfully: "That place is very dangerous. You could have easily died in the past. If it is not necessary, it is best for the Crown Princess not to set foot there."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "How do you know there is no need for me to go there? An Yi, I'm going to Hongfang to buy some medicinal materials."
"no."
The answering voice came from the door, and An Yi stepped aside: "I have met the crown prince."
Song Shuwan frowned slightly: "Why not?"
Pei Huan entered the room and waved away the guards behind him: "The forces in Hongfang are complex. You are mine now. As the Crown Princess, once you go there, you will easily be misunderstood as my intention. Then..."
He didn't finish what he said, but Song Shuwan understood the meaning. She was afraid of causing misunderstanding and getting into trouble.
At this time, Pei Huan spoke again: "If you are lacking something, just tell An directly. As long as it is not excessive, I will meet all your requirements."
Song Shuwan looked at Pei Huan intently, and twitched the corners of her lips for a long time: "How is the prince's injury today?"
The topic suddenly changed, and Pei Huan turned his head slightly. His imperial concubine had not given up the idea of going to the Red Square. He could also guess what Song Shuwan was thinking, and wanted to find clues about the Song family's case, but the place in the Red Square...
While thinking, Pei Huan took retreat as an opportunity to advance: "Tomorrow is the day when the Hou Mansion pays back the silver. If you really want to go to the Red Square, just wait for this. How about it?"
Having said this, Song Shuwan didn't hold on any longer: "Okay."
Afterwards, she checked Pei Huan's wound, briefly treated it, and took out the golden needle.
"Medicinal baths cannot be taken for the time being, but acupuncture cannot be stopped. It will resume from tomorrow. Your Majesty, please remember to leave time."
Pei Huan nodded, and the golden needle fell. The sharp sting extended from his knees upwards, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Pain is his hope for recovery.
As night fell outside, Song Shuwan burned the golden needles with a candle and put them away one by one: "Okay."
Pei Huan closed his eyes and leaned motionless on the wheelchair.
However, if you look closely, you will find that his fingers are curled up tightly, and it took him a long time to relax.
"Recently, when the golden needle fell, the pain became more severe."
Song Shuwan raised her eyes: "If it is normal, it won't hurt. If it is painful, it will be blocked. If the prince feels it, it means that the prince's condition is getting better and better. This is a good thing."
At this time, Fei Yuan poked his head out from the door and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, dinner is ready."
Song Shuwan hummed and said lightly: "Send it in."
"yes!"
After a while, Feiyuan laid out the dinner, got two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and when he passed An Yi, he dragged him away.
"The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are alone, what are you doing here? Leave quickly."
Song Shuwan: "..."
Why didn't she know that Fei Yuan could still be so clever?
Glancing at Pei Huan to the side, Song Shuwan coughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, I will do the cooking for you."
Pei Huan nodded slightly, and the two of them ate their dinner in silence, with only the slight clash of bowls and chopsticks echoing around them.
As time passed to the next day, in the quiet courtyard, the early morning light fell on the ground through the window edges, and there was only a "squeak" sound, and the closed door was pushed open.
"Prince Princess, it's time to get up."
Song Shuwan turned sideways slightly, her eyes opened with a bit of confusion: "Baicao, what time is it?"
"It's almost over."
What, it’s this hour!
Song Shuwan lifted the quilt and rubbed her eyebrows, which were still a little sore.
Last night, after Pei Huan left after dinner, she looked at the account book at the table. Without thinking, she didn't go to bed until midnight. Now she had a headache.
Baicao saw this and silently brought tea: "Prince Princess, drink some tea."
"Um."
After Song Shuwan washed up and had breakfast, she sat at the table with a tea cup in hand, her eyebrows showing a bit of blankness.
At this time, a smart figure ran in: "Prince Princess, it's not good, it's not good..."
Song Shuwan came back to her senses and looked at Fei Yuan helplessly: "Speak nicely."
Fei Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Prince Concubine, a group of people have come from Qingzhuyuan. They say they want to punish the prince for being disobedient and unfilial, and they are coming this way."
Song Shuwan shook her hand and the tea in the cup splashed onto her body. She didn't bother to ask further questions and walked out.
From a distance, I saw a group of aggressive people walking towards Qingfeng Courtyard, headed by Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou.
Song Shuwan frowned and heard Baicao remind her softly behind her: "The prince entered the palace this morning and is not in the palace."
Entering the palace but not in the palace?
Song Shuwan narrowed her eyes, that would be easy.
"Go and wait outside the house. If he turns around, tell him to leave immediately and not to enter the house."
"But on your side..."
Looking at the hesitant Baicao, Song Shuwan patted her hand: "Don't worry, I don't take those people seriously yet."
Hearing this, Baicao gritted his teeth and left from the side.
On the other side, Mr. Hou led a group of people to the gate of Qingfengyuan quickly. When he saw Song Shuwan, he immediately asked: "Where is Pei Huan? Let him come out!"
Song Shuwan glanced at him and said lightly: "The prince is not here."
The Marquis smiled, with a cold look in his eyes: "Are you not here, or do you dare not come out?"
Song Shuwan's eyes turned slightly, did the Marquis not know that Pei Huan had entered the palace?
"The Marquis is joking. If you're not here, you're not here. Why don't you dare to come out?"
As she spoke, she deliberately moved her feet a few steps, pretending to cover the room behind her.
The next moment, the Marquis waved someone to rush into the room, and said with a smile: "Don't he want to settle accounts with me? How can you settle accounts by hiding?"
