Pei Huan was dressed in black clothes. Even if he was sitting in the sky prison, his majesty would not be affected at all.
Song Shuwan watched from outside, her steps slowing down, and finally she even stopped.
"Why are you standing there so still?"
The sudden inquiry woke up Song Shuwan. She came to her senses and walked to the cell door in a few steps: "The way the prince looks now, it doesn't look like he is in jail at all."
Pei Huan smiled: "I will not be in jail. Coming here at this time was arranged by Qinglian."
Song Shuwan nodded, recounted the previous situation, and then asked: "Is it really okay for Qinglian to stay in the palace?"
Pei Huan said softly: "With Qinglian's status, staying in the palace is just a small matter for her. She can come out at any time if she wants."
Song Shuwan was confused: "Qinglian, what is your identity? Why is she so special?"
Pei Huan did not elaborate, only that Qinglian's situation was different from that of ordinary people. After saying that, he let Song Shuwan enter the cell.
"The capital will be very chaotic these days. If you stay here, it will be safe for you."
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows. She originally felt that there was something wrong with Pei Huanbi Guan, but now that he looked so indifferent, the feeling of something wrong became even stronger.
Thinking about it, Song Shuwan entered the cell and asked, "How long does the prince plan to stay here?"
"I can't say for sure. If it's fast, it'll be a few days, if it's slow, it might be a month."
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes, the time gap between speed and slowness was so big that she couldn't believe it.
That's all, she'd better stay here with you.
In the palace, the emperor listened to the report, and the expression in his eyes kept changing.
"I really didn't expect that she would go back to the palace for Song Shuwan."
"Your Majesty, would you like to invite that person to come over?"
The words of the little eunuch on the side made the emperor turn his head slightly. He waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary. Let her stay in Cining Palace. Just find some people to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't leave the palace."
"yes."
The eunuch bowed and left.
After a while, the emperor sighed. He couldn't help himself this time. The cancer in the court must be eliminated.
Time passed five days later, when Song Shuwan was a little confused about the sun and the moon, An San led a group of secret guards into the sky prison.
"Your Majesty, the Zhen family has been surrounded by the Forbidden Army, and Qinglian also left the palace yesterday."
Pei Huan opened his eyes and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "Very good, how is the emperor doing lately?"
"The Emperor is here recently and wants to establish a queen."
Pei Huan nodded: "She must be the princess sent by the Tatars. If he wants to, he can do it right away."
After saying that, he turned his head slightly: "Wan'er, it's time for us to go back."
Song Shuwan nodded, stood up and left with Pei Huan.
Outside the Heavenly Prison, Jing Ming was waiting with a few forbidden troops. When the two sides faced each other, Jing Ming smiled and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come over."
Song Shuwan frowned, were they going to Cining Palace as soon as they came out?
She subconsciously turned her head and heard Pei Huan respond: "Okay, let's go."
Do you agree?
Song Shuwan was stunned. The question was still in her mouth, but she stopped it suddenly.
Half an hour later, the two entered Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother sat majestically in the inner hall, and when she saw the two of them, her expression became a little more solemn.
"Prince Pei, you should know the reason why the Ai family let you two enter the palace."
Pei Huan nodded: "I do know that it is for Qinglian."
"Since you know it, why do you ask even though you already know it?"
Pei Huan smiled: "I don't ask knowingly, but I feel that there is no need to say it."
"What's the meaning?"
The Queen Mother's face darkened, "Aren't you going to talk about Qinglian's situation?"
Pei Huan admitted frankly: "The Queen Mother knew why Qinglian left in the first place. How much meaning does it have to say it now? Queen Mother, as time goes by and the past has passed, there is no need to talk about it anymore. What do you think?"
There was silence in the inner hall, and the Queen Mother's face showed sadness. She spoke several times but was silent.
After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed: "Pei Huan, the Ai family just feels that we should have a chance to make amends for what happened in the past."
"But Qinglian doesn't care."
Qinglian didn't care.
As if she had been hit hard, the Queen Mother clenched her hands tightly, closed her eyes and said, "That's it, you guys just step back."
Pei Huan looked deeply at the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother really wants me and my wife to leave right now? I thought that the Queen Mother wanted to ask about more than just Qinglian's matters."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes: "It is indeed not just Qinglian's matter. Two days ago, the emperor killed all the ancestral family of the little princess."
Pei Huan was startled, and it was his turn to freeze on the spot.
"Why would the emperor touch that family?"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "The Ai family thought so too, but unfortunately, the Emperor has moved. Prince Pei, what do you think the Emperor... wants to do now?"
Pei Huan was silent, he couldn't see through it.
At first, he thought that the emperor just wanted to eliminate the cancer in the court, but now it seems that the emperor's goal is bigger.
Seeing that he was silent, the Queen Mother whispered: "Logically speaking, as members of the harem, the Ai family should not be involved in politics, but if the emperor's current situation continues, I am afraid it will involve the entire Zhou Dynasty. Prince Pei, can you Is there any way to temporarily stop the emperor?"
Pei Huan looked directly at the Queen Mother: "If I had my way, I wouldn't go to the prison."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother showed displeasure on her face: "So, you don't plan to take action?"
Pei Huan smiled: "The difference between the king and the minister is in front of me, what can I do?"
At this point, there was a stalemate in the inner hall.
After a long while, the Queen Mother waved her hand: "Okay, step back."
"yes."
Pei Huan saluted, and Song Shuwan on the side also followed Yifu.
The two exited the palace, and Pei Huan told Song Shuwan about the situation.
"The emperor wants to move not only the ancestral home of the little princess, but also some officials under the Queen Mother. Now, the Queen Mother is worried."
Song Shuwan tightened her fingers and said in disbelief: "There are officials under the Queen Mother? This..."
"Unbelievable? The Queen Mother is hiding very deep, but unfortunately, she is in the harem after all, not as good as the Emperor in the front court."
Song Shuwan frowned, puzzled by Pei Huan's words.
"Why does the Queen Mother want to contact the imperial officials?"
Just as Pei Huan was about to answer, the carriage suddenly stopped, followed by the coachman's question.
"Who are you waiting for? Why did you stop the car?"
"I am here to visit Prince Pei. Prince Pei, please get out of the car and see him."
In the carriage, Song Shuwan and Pei Huan exchanged glances, and doubts arose in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, who is the person outside?"
Pei Huan thought and said softly: "Maybe they are Tatars."
Tartar?
Song Shuwan's heart moved, and then she followed Pei Huan out of the carriage.
Under the sun, the street was inexplicably empty. Song Shuwan looked around and found that the carriage had arrived near the villa. Not far away, several people in Dazhou costumes were looking around.
They are in a hurry.
A few words flashed through Song Shuwan's mind, and then Pei Huan said directly: "Are you a Tatar? Why are you looking for me?"
The leader clasped his fists and saluted, and said anxiously: "Prince Pei, please send someone to save the little princess of Da Zhou."
Song Shuwan's eyes were filled with disbelief. How could a Tatar save the little princess of Zhou Dynasty?
