Back at the inn, Song Shuwan was just about to take a rest when Pei Huan appeared and asked about the eldest princess.
Song Shuwan explained the situation and asked softly: "The prince has something to plan with the eldest princess?"
Pei Huan nodded: "The whereabouts of the little princess have been found."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed, and Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "How is the little princess's current situation?"
Pei Huan didn't say anything, but looked at her steadily.
Just as Song Shuwan's doubts gradually deepened, he said, "Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Song Shuwan smiled, with some inexplicable sarcasm in her heart, but her expression showed no trace of it: "Your Majesty has done everything, so why do you care about whether I feel comfortable or not? What's more, I am not an unreasonable person, and everything I do belongs to you." Willing has nothing to do with me, it’s just..."
She paused for a moment, and there was a hint of solemnity in her expression: "The Emperor has urged the Crown Prince to return to the capital three times. It would be better for the Crown Prince to resolve the matters here as soon as possible. Next time, I'm afraid the Emperor will not just send a message."
Pei Huan sighed: "I know, don't worry, it will be over soon."
Song Shuwan was noncommittal about the comparison.
As soon as the time turned to the next day, Song Shuwan was about to go see the eldest princess, but was told that the eldest princess had arrived at the inn, and she was accompanied by Bai Chu and a strange woman.
Baicao whispered: "That strange woman must be the little princess."
Song Shuwan's eyes darkened. Pei Huan just said yesterday that he had a whereabouts, and he brought him back today. This speed is really... amazing.
Thinking about it, she glanced at Baicao: "Has the Crown Prince already met them?"
"Yes."
After receiving a positive answer, Song Shuwan decided to look for Pei Huan. However, before she could go there, the eldest princess appeared with a woman.
"The Crown Princess looks good today."
Song Shuwan glanced at the people around the eldest princess, and said lightly: "The eldest princess looks very bad. She ran from the Bai Mansion to the inn, and the wound has collapsed, right? How do you feel? But she is very happy?"
The eldest princess maintained the smile on her face: "Of course it is happy. After all, not everyone can experience this feeling."
Really tough-talking.
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes, and after quickly turning her thoughts around, she asked the eldest princess to sit down, and then ordered Baicao to get hot water and wound medicine.
Half an hour later, Baicao left with a basin of blood and debris.
Song Shuwan wiped the water off her hands and said in a cold tone: "I know that the eldest princess has her own ideas and does not allow others to interfere with her, but if she cannot even save her own life, those so-called ideas will only come to nothing."
The eyes of the two met, and the eldest princess smiled slightly: "I am worried, Princess Lao. What I fear most is death, and I will not let myself lose my life."
Song Shuwan said nothing, walked slowly to the side, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
After a while, the eldest princess broke the silence: "The Crown Princess doesn't want to ask why I appear here?"
Song Shuwan said calmly: "The eldest princess will tell you what she wants to say, and I don't need to ask any more questions."
At this time, Pei Huan appeared with An San. Hearing Song Shuwan's words, he asked, "What do you need to ask more about?"
Song Shuwan raised her chin: "The eldest princess asked me if I wanted to know why she came here."
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest princess: "As far as I know, the eldest princess is here to ask you to leave the city."
Pei Huan told the eldest princess the purpose of her visit in one sentence, which attracted Song Shuwan's side glances. She was still a little silent in her heart. The relationship between her and the eldest princess should not be enough to make fun of her, right?
Putting her thoughts away, Song Shuwan asked, "I wonder why the eldest princess invited me out of the city?"
"I would like to ask the Crown Princess to save some people for me."
"Save some people? Tatars?"
The eldest princess nodded, her eyes a little more scrutinizing: "Why, the Crown Princess doesn't want to?"
Song Shuwan was silent. She really didn't want to save the Tatars, but Pei Huan should have exchanged something with the eldest princess.
Thinking about it, Song Shuwan looked to one side and happened to meet Pei Huan's eyes.
After a brief silence, Pei Huan spoke: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Wan'er will certainly agree to the eldest princess's request, but in exchange, the eldest princess must show some sincerity."
The room fell into silence, and the eldest princess chuckled: "When the prince speaks, I naturally want to show some sincerity. I don't know what the prince wants, but as long as I can give it, I will definitely hand it over."
Song Shuwan twitched her lips: "I am very happy that the eldest princess is so generous. As for what I want, please give me some time to think about it."
There was some profound meaning in the eyes of the eldest princess: "The Crown Princess said so, of course I have to wait, but people outside the city..."
Song Shuwan answered without thinking: "If it's convenient, I can go and save people now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Huan's words of rejection rang out: "You can't leave the city now. The new Tatar envoy has entered the city. You have to come with me to entertain him."
The eldest princess then spoke: "Since you are entertaining the envoys, let me follow. I also want to see who the new envoys of the Tatars are."
In the afternoon of that day, Song Shuwan checked the wounds of the eldest princess and strongly disapproved of the eldest princess traveling with her.
"Your wound is not suitable for walking."
The eldest princess put on her clothes and said nonchalantly: "Is there anything suitable or inappropriate? If it doesn't cost my life, it can only be regarded as a minor injury."
Song Shuwan was silent. She had seen this kind of careless attitude in Pei Huan before. She really didn't expect to encounter a second person like him.
"That's all, I can't stop the eldest princess. I just hope that the eldest princess will pay attention to some wounds."
While the two were talking, An San appeared: "Prince Concubine, the Crown Prince is waiting outside."
"Understood."
Half an hour later, Song Shuwan saw the new envoy of the Tatars at the city gate. He was the ninth prince of the Tatars. He was very tall and had a gangster air about him.
However, this gangster spirit suddenly turned into fear after meeting the eldest princess.
"You, why are you here?"
The eldest princess's eyebrows were curved: "Why, the ninth brother is surprised to see me?"
The Ninth Prince laughed dryly: "What did the eldest sister say? It's too late for me to be happy to see the eldest sister, how could I be surprised?"
Because of the appearance of the eldest princess, the atmosphere afterwards became inexplicably weird.
The group of people moved to a nearby restaurant. The Ninth Prince tried to bring the topic to peace talks several times, but was distracted by the eldest princess.
Song Shuwan and Pei Huan remained silent, allowing the eldest princess to influence the conversation.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, followed by a group of people rushing over.
"Tatars, get out! We, the Great Zhou, will not negotiate peace with you!"
"Get out, there is no one in Ningyuan City who is afraid of death!"
A group of common people surrounded the Tatars and started pushing them. The Ninth Prince was furious and slapped the table and stood up: "You are so presumptuous, who do you think you are? If you don't negotiate for peace, go to hell and kill them!"
