A hint of amusement flashed in Prince Ning's eyes: "The Crown Princess is anxious?"
Song Shuwan frowned, but before she could speak, Pei Huan took over her words.
Pei Huan said calmly: "Mr. Han was invited by me. If Prince Ning wants to invite him, you can go and look for him yourself. As long as he agrees, I will not stop him."
Prince Ning raised his eyebrows: "This is what the Crown Prince said, don't go back on your word when the time comes."
Pei Huan glanced at him and said nothing.
Soon, King Ning went to see Han Sanzhen.
Song Shuwan tightened her fingers: "Why did the Crown Prince agree with Prince Ning to see Mr. Han? He..."
Pei Huan interrupted her: "As long as Mr. Han doesn't want to leave, what will happen if Prince Ning sees him?"
Song Shuwan paused. She knew this truth, but...
After a while, she turned her head and said, "I'm going back to the room first."
The next day, while Song Shuwan was having breakfast, she saw Qinglian entering the house while wiping her hands with a handkerchief.
Their eyes met, Song Shuwan was keenly aware of the smell of blood on Qinglian's body, her heart tightened unconsciously, and she immediately asked: "Why do you smell of blood on your body?"
Qinglian was folding her handkerchief and frowned when she heard this: "I just went to take care of some people."
Cleaned up some people?
Song Shuwan wanted to ask in detail, but for some reason, she felt uneasy in her heart, as if she would get a bad answer if she asked. After thinking about it, she settled the doubts in her heart.
Qinglian frowned slightly and put the folded handkerchief into her arms: "Qinglian has some things to deal with today and cannot be around the Crown Princess. I also ask the Crown Princess to pay attention to her safety and not to leave the inn at will."
Song Shuwan nodded: "I understand."
After Qinglian left, Song Shuwan immediately asked Baicao to investigate the situation, but Baicao gave an immediate answer.
"The ones Qinglian took care of were the officials who came here yesterday."
Silence, deathly silence.
After a long while, Song Shuwan said: "Is it from the prince?"
After receiving a positive reply, Song Shuwan pinched her eyebrows. If she remembered correctly, yesterday Pei Huan told Prince Ning that there was no need to be serious, but today he asked Qinglian to take care of it. It was really...
She endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "No one died, right?"
Baicao smiled and shook his head: "No one died, just suffered a few more crimes."
Song Shu hesitated to speak politely, but in the end she didn't ask in detail.
After breakfast, Han Sanzhen came to tell him that he was going to King Ning.
Song Shuwan was surprised: "Mr. Han really intends to go to Prince Ning?"
Han Sanzhen snorted coldly: "You saw Pei Huan's leg yesterday. It's recovering better than expected. He won't let me take you away, so naturally I won't stay here."
Even so, Song Shuwan was still a little unwilling: "If you leave at this time, if anything changes..."
Han Sanzhen interrupted her: "Compared to Pei Huan, Prince Ning's methods are more stable. Okay, I'm here today to say goodbye to you. Let's meet again when Ningyuan City is stable."
After that, Han Sanzhen left.
Song Shuwan was about to chase after him when she saw An San appearing at the door.
"Prince Concubine, Your Majesty, please come over."
In the end, Song Shuwan could only watch Han Sanzhen disappear and go to Pei Huan's room.
"Why is the prince looking for me?"
In the room, Pei Huan was staring at the chessboard on the table. When he heard the question, he raised his eyes and said lightly: "I want to talk to you about a game."
Song Shuwan glanced at the chessboard and refused without thinking: "I don't know much about chess."
"Do you not understand me well, or do you just don't want to have sex with me?"
Song Shuwan twitched her lips: "The prince has misunderstood. I really don't understand. It's not that I don't want to play chess with the prince."
Pei Huan smiled and pushed the chessboard away: "That's all, since we don't want to play chess, let's talk about the Song family and the Bai family."
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed slightly, and after sitting down opposite Pei Huan, she asked, "What do you want to talk about, Your Majesty?"
"For example, the relationship between the Bai family and the Duke of Xinguo, or how much do you know about the specific situation of the Song family?"
The two looked at each other, and Song Shuwan's fingers on her knees tightened. Pei Huan would not mention the situation of the Song family and the Bai family without any reason. There must be a problem in between.
what is the problem?
Song Shuwan was thinking about it, and suddenly remembered the envelope she and Pei Huan brought back from Xuanyu Pavilion a few days ago. The envelope was not given to her after it was in Pei Huan's hands.
Now that we are talking about the Song family and the Bai family, could it be that there is some secret hidden in that envelope?
Various thoughts flashed through Song Shuwan's mind quickly. She stared at the man opposite her, and her tightened fingers gradually relaxed.
"What big secret is hidden in the envelope brought back from Xuanyu Pavilion a few days ago?"
Pei Huan laughed: "As expected of my Crown Princess, she is still so sharp. There is indeed a big secret hidden in that envelope, but I am hesitant."
"Why are you hesitating?"
"I'm hesitating whether I should let you know what's in the envelope."
Song Shuwan was startled: "I thought the prince would keep that envelope and not let me know the contents."
"No need."
Pei Huan uttered three words, then picked up the kettle and slowly poured two cups of tea.
"The Song family's case is the reason why the two of us got married. I'm keeping it a secret now, but you will know about it through other channels in the future. Instead of leaving a misunderstanding, it's better to make it clear now."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips: "Your Majesty is sober, but I don't know what is hidden in the envelope?"
"An address."
Pei Huan took a sip of tea and said, "My people went to that place last night and brought back a couple."
After saying that, he put down the tea cup and clapped his hands twice.
The next moment, An San led a man and a woman inside.
Song Shuwan glanced at them and realized that they were all strangers. She frowned slightly. Could it be that Xuanyu Pavilion gave the wrong information? She didn't know the couple at all.
Just as he was thinking about it, the couple knelt down.
"Caomin (people's women) have seen the crown prince and the crown prince's concubine."
Pei Huan raised his hand: "No need to be polite, just get up."
After finishing speaking, he said to Song Shuwan: "Qi Li, Qi family."
Qi Li and Qi Shi stood up and looked at Song Shuwan, their eyes gradually filled with joy.
Qi Li took a step forward: "You, are you the young lady of the Song family?"
Song Shuwan nodded: "Yes, do you know me?"
Qi Li nodded: "The grass people know you, but Miss Song probably doesn't know the grass people."
Song Shuwan frowned: "So, who are you?"
"Caomin was once the steward of the Song family. Master Song saved Caomin and his wife and gave them a job to make a living. Later, something happened to the Song family. Master Song gave Caomin a few things and asked Caomin to bring them to Ningyuan City to find Prince Pei... …”
From Qi Li's narration, Song Shuwan knew that the couple rushed to Ningyuan City after getting the things. Unfortunately, the journey was too far, and there were people chasing people along the way. They spent two years hiding. Just got here.
However, the border was in chaos. They wanted to get close to Pei Huan, but had no way to go. Then Pei Huan was injured and left Ningyuan City.
"Miss Song, the grassroots couple are really ashamed of themselves..."
Before Qi Li finished speaking, an arrow suddenly shot through the window.
"puff--"
Blood spattered, Qi Li's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.
Song Shuwan was shocked: "Who is it?"
