The emperor sneered: "Do you think I care about that reputation?"
Pei Huan sighed: "Does the Emperor really not care? In my opinion, those are things that can be avoided. As long as they are properly arranged, they will not affect your reputation."
The emperor slowly stood up and looked across the imperial case with cold eyes: "I said, I don't care about the reputation. I will arrange the Song family's case. Get out of the palace, otherwise you, the eldest concubine, should run away by yourself. Entering the palace."
Pei Huan was silent, saluted after a long time, and slowly exited the imperial study.
There was blood outside. Pei Huan looked around and said, "Please step aside. It's time for all of you to return home."
Near dawn, the officials returned to their homes.
At that time, Song Shuwan also saw Pei Huan and Lord Hou. After looking them up and down, she pinched her eyebrows.
"What happened in the palace?"
"Some unexpected things, let's talk about it after entering the house."
Pei Huan had no intention of talking outside, and after finishing speaking, he entered with Song Shuwan.
Less than half an hour later, Song Shuwan finally figured out what was going on. In order to punish the traitors, the emperor gathered all the officials in the court and killed fifteen of them on the spot through the reward system. Not counting the subsequent house raids.
As soon as these words came out, Song Shuwan fell into silence. She thought a lot, but she never thought it would be such a thing.
"It was supposed to be Lin Yujun's glory, but the emperor made him look like this. It's really..."
Song Shuwan sighed, held Pei Huan's hand, and was silent for a long time.
Pei Huan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Once the emperor is satisfied, other things can be easily discussed."
Song Shuwan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"The Song family's case has been settled."
Song Shuwan opened her eyes wide, and a joy suddenly appeared in her heart: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true."
Pei Huan expressed the emperor's attitude and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "After waiting for so long, you finally got your wish."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, but quickly put away her thoughts: "Lin Yujun's side..."
"Don't worry, the emperor will give Lin Yujun an explanation."
In the capital, as officials returned to their homes, various news gradually spread, the most common of which was the emperor's killing spree.
"Why does the emperor go on a killing spree for no reason?"
"I don't know, but killing so many people this time is not very good for the court, right?"
"The border has just been stabilized, so why are troubles starting to happen in the capital? I hope it doesn't affect ordinary people like us."
The people in the capital were talking a lot, and the officials in the court were also nervous, fearing that the emperor's blade would fall on their heads.
In this weird atmosphere, Lin Yujun's merit-based rewards began for the second time, and this time there were no accidents.
With the conclusion of merit-based rewards, the emperor brought the Song family's case to the forefront, which made many people in the capital nervous.
"The emperor really brought the Song family's case to the public?"
"After this time, I don't know how many accidents will happen."
"After all, we can't be involved. When something happened to the Song family, we didn't do anything. Even if the Miss Song family wants to take revenge, she can't be found on us."
As the person being discussed, Song Shuwan entered the palace alone.
The emperor looked at her and said after a long time: "Do you know how many officials in the court will be killed after the Song family case is over?"
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes and clasped her hands: "I don't know, I just want to seek justice for the Song family and to be innocent."
"It's good to ask for justice and innocence. Since I insist, there is no need for me to drag it with you. At most, the Song family's case can be found out in half a month. But I have to say something ugly first. If it is found out at the end If the result doesn’t match your idea, don’t come to me.”
Song Shuwan's eyebrows twitched: "What does the emperor mean?"
"I just want to ask you, will you investigate the Song family's case?"
Song Shuwan pursed her lips: "Check, I must find out the hidden circumstances behind the Song family case."
Having said this, the emperor nodded: "I will give you an explanation. If there is nothing else, you can retreat."
"yes."
Song Shuwan bowed and left, returning to the Marquis Mansion. She sat alone for a long time, and did not get up until Pei Huan turned around.
"But what did the emperor say to you?"
Pei Huan saw her abnormality at a glance and asked about the key point.
Song Shuwan nodded and said everything the emperor had said: "What exactly is involved in the Song family's case?"
Pei Huan smiled and asked instead, "What do you think will be involved in the Song family's case?"
Song Shuwan thought hard to no avail, and shook her head gently: "I don't know, but I feel that my Song family will not do bad things."
Pei Huan nodded: "You have to keep this idea. Moreover, the Song family did not do anything bad."
The two ended the topic, and Song Shuwan reached out to check Pei Huan's pulse.
"Your Majesty, I've been too worried lately."
Pei Huan said calmly: "I have been thinking about leaving the capital."
Leaving the capital?
Song Shuwan understood: "Lin Yujun will play a greater role at the border, but will the emperor allow the prince to leave?"
Pei Huan's eyes darkened: "You have to allow it even if you don't allow it. After all, you can't stay in the capital for a long time. Speaking of which, I have to do something recently."
"What's up?"
"Split the family."
The next day, everyone from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion gathered in the front yard.
Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou were very dissatisfied. Since Pei Huan came back, the entire Hou Mansion has been controlled by Pei Huan, and they have become marginalized people.
"Pei Huan, what do you want to do? Don't think that just because you have made meritorious service on the border, you can do whatever you want in the Marquis' Mansion."
When the Marquis opened his mouth, his words were very rude.
"I don't even bother to do whatever I want in a prince's mansion. Today I summoned everyone just for one thing, to separate the families."
Pei Huan's sharp eyes fell on the Marquis: "After the separation, the entire Marquis Mansion is under your control. I believe you will be very satisfied?"
The Marquis' eyes widened: "What do you mean? Pei Huan, are you going to throw away the Marquis Mansion?"
"After the separation, the Hou's Mansion is the Hou's Mansion, and I am me. Neither party is involved. Isn't it just what the Marquis wants?"
The Marquis was stunned. He wanted to separate the family, but he never thought it would happen at this time.
"Pei Huan, do you really want to separate the family at this time?"
Pei Huan said lightly: "It's not that I want to separate the family at this time, but the situation forces me to separate the family at this time. Mr. Hou, the past is over, and there is nothing left to say between you and me. That's it." Separating our families is good for you and me, what do you think?"
The Marquis narrowed his eyes: "Are you threatening me? I don't agree with the separation of the family at this time."
"This is not something that can be decided by whether you agree or not. If you don't agree, then go to the palace to find the emperor to make a decision."
When the Marquis heard this, he immediately made a decision: "Then enter the palace. I think the Emperor will give a reasonable result."
Pei Huan smiled: "Then let's enter the palace, Wan'er, you can come with us."
