The Tatars were about to take action.
The next moment, a group of secret guards appeared behind them, with gleaming swords on their necks. None of the horrified Tatars dared to move.
When the people of Ningyuan City saw this, their movements immediately stopped.
Only then did they look at Pei Huan, their eyes flickering, and they felt a little guilty.
Pei Huan didn't pay attention, and looked at the eldest princess casually: "What should I say about this?"
The eldest princess held her cheek with one hand: "What else can you say? It was the Zhou people who made the first move. We can't let the Tatars bear the consequences, right?"
"According to what the eldest princess said, she wants to protect these people?"
The eldest princess smiled slightly: "If you talk about whether to protect or not, even Prince Pei can't ignore the facts and talk nonsense, right?"
Having said this, the atmosphere in the restaurant became solemn. Even the people who came to make trouble were keenly aware of the abnormality and shrank their heads and did not dare to move rashly.
After a while, the stagnant atmosphere around him was broken by Pei Huan.
"You just need to step back first. It won't be the same next time."
A short sentence full of warnings.
The people did not dare to make trouble, turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Silence returned to the restaurant, and Pei Huan spoke again: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is negotiating peace with the Tatars. Does the eldest princess think this can really be accomplished?"
The eldest princess raised her head slightly: "Why can't it be done? In my opinion, there are people in Tatar and Zhou who don't want to fight. In that case, why not sit down and have a calm chat?"
Pei Huan sighed: "I don't believe in Tatars."
"Tatars can't be trusted, but I can."
The eldest princess had a smile on her face, but more of it was unquestionable. As she spoke, she glanced at the ninth prince.
"It's just some trash, it can't stop me."
Pei Huan smiled and gave An San a look. The latter stepped forward and placed a dagger on the table.
The eldest princess took a look, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "The eldest princess understands what I mean."
The atmosphere around her was stagnant again, and Song Shuwan frowned slightly. After the conversation in the morning, she thought that Pei Huan and the eldest princess had already stood aside. How come now, it seems that the two of them have not joined forces yet? ?
Could it be that she misunderstood?
Just as she was wondering, the eldest princess picked up the dagger on the table.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the eldest princess.
The Ninth Prince's face turned pale, and he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart: "Eldest Imperial Sister, what do you mean?"
The eldest princess turned her gaze slightly and said with a smile: "Of course, it means solving troubles."
Her speed was extremely fast, and the moment she finished speaking, she was already in front of the Ninth Prince.
There was a "pop" sound, and a strong smell of blood dispersed. The Ninth Prince opened his eyes in shock, and pointed at the eldest princess with a trembling finger: "You, you actually..."
The eldest princess pulled out the dagger with an expressionless face, and stabbed it again the next moment.
Five times in a row, the Ninth Prince fell to the ground helplessly. The surrounding Tatar envoys were going crazy, but with swords on their necks, no one dared to break free to save him.
In the deathly silence, the eldest princess smiled and dropped the dagger in her hand: "How is it? Is the Crown Prince satisfied this time?"
Pei Huan looked at her deeply and said, "The eldest princess really has the courage to come and throw these people out of the city."
"yes!"
The team of Tatar envoys dragged away by the secret guards then cleaned up the body of the Ninth Prince.
The smell of blood dissipated, and Song Shuwan, who had been silent all this time, stared at the group of people going away, and her fingers hanging by her legs tightened little by little.
At this moment, Pei Huan called her: "Follow the eldest princess out of the city."
Song Shuwan came back to her senses and swept her scrutinizing eyes over Pei Huan. She didn't say anything after all, nodded slowly and agreed.
In the evening, a carriage left Ningyuan City.
The road was bumpy, and Song Shuwan's body kept shaking with the carriage.
On the side, the eldest princess closed her eyes and rested, looking at ease. If her face was not pale and her body was full of the smell of medicine, even Song Shuwan would not be able to tell that she was injured.
In the silence, the eldest princess suddenly spoke: "Do you think I am too harsh during the day?"
Song Shuwan smiled: "How the eldest princess is, it has nothing to do with me."
"Really? But in my opinion, what happened during the day has already affected you."
While speaking, the eldest princess turned her head and looked at Song Shuwan: "You are doubting me."
The carriage was dim, but it did not affect the two people's gaze.
Song Shuwan moved her fingers slightly and said calmly: "I do doubt the eldest princess, but I think this suspicion should have no impact on the eldest princess. After all, this is just my idea."
Just as the eldest princess was about to speak, the carriage suddenly shook, followed by a scolding: "Who is it?"
"Kill your people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crisp sound of the clash of swords was heard in the carriage. Song Shuwan frowned, golden light flashed on her fingertips, and her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the carriage.
Just then, a hand fell on her shoulder.
Song Shuwan turned her head and met the smiling eyes of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess said: "Don't worry, the changes in the outside world are all under Prince Pei's plan."
As soon as these words came out, Song Shuwan frowned, but she did not ask further questions, but quietly listened to the movements outside.
After about a stick of incense, a familiar voice came into the carriage.
"Come out, the assassins have been dealt with."
Song Shuwan's heart skipped a beat and she got out of the carriage decisively.
Under the moonlight, Pei Huan was sitting in a wheelchair. There was a faint silver light on his black clothes, and his eyes were majestic when he opened and closed them.
Song Shuwan looked at him, and he looked at Song Shuwan.
After a brief pause, Song Shuwan came to the wheelchair: "Didn't the Crown Prince say that the eldest princess and I should leave? Why are we here now?"
Pei Huan knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair: "Logically speaking, I really shouldn't be here, but..."
"Knowing that you would be in danger, how could Prince Pei not show up?"
The eldest princess took the words and then walked slowly to the assassin's body. After looking at each one, she kicked the person away with a sneer.
"How are Prince Pei's Lin Yujun prepared? I can't wait to use them to make things happen."
Pei Huan glanced at her: "We can leave at any time, but you have to think carefully, eldest princess. Once Lin Yujun breaks into the Tatars, you will have no way out."
The eldest princess seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed and said: "I never make a decision that I regret, Lin Yujun, I must bring him into the Tatar interior."
After that, she went straight to the carriage.
Song Shuwan looked away from her and frowned: "The prince wants to lend Lin Yujun to her? If she gets inside, she will unite with the Tatars..."
Pei Huan made a silent gesture and said softly: "I will not give her a chance to betray Lin Yujun, nor will I enter the Tatar interior."
A dark cloud came from nowhere, blocking the moon in the sky. In the darkness, Song Shuwan couldn't even see Pei Huan's expression clearly.
