Pei Huan said firmly: "No, the emperor is still on the throne and will not have the idea of causing chaos in the court. The emperor will stop in three days at most. By then, the capital will be much more stable."
Song Shuwan held her chin up and was noncommittal about Pei Huan's words. If the emperor really wanted to stabilize the capital, he shouldn't do such outrageous things.
Time passed three days later, and the old ministers in the court were gradually released by the emperor. After the new group of ministers stabilized as quickly as possible, several new laws were announced.
For a time, the entire Zhou Dynasty's eyes fell on Xin Lv, and even what the emperor had done before was ignored by them.
"Reducing taxes is a good thing, but how long can it last? What weighs on us ordinary people is not taxes for one or two years."
"Yes, taxes will either not be reduced, or if they are reduced, they must be maintained."
"You are all focusing on the taxation issue and have not paid attention to what the emperor said. Do you want to re-run the imperial examination? If this is true, many scholars will have a way out."
The people were talking a lot, but among the several new laws, these were the only two that were really concerned.
At this moment, another news came out.
The Tatar Queen Huna hid in the Tatar envoys and arrived at the Great Zhou Dynasty together.
As soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar in the capital.
"How dare the Tatar Queen leave Tatar at this time? I heard that the emperor surrounded the inn earlier, could it be for the Tatar Queen?"
"This is simply unbelievable. The Queen of Tatar came here without telling us. Doesn't she take our great Zhou seriously?"
In the inn, Hu Na listened to the report from her subordinates, with a cold look in her eyes. She vaguely guessed who had exposed her identity.
Since she won't give her face, there is no need for her to continue to maintain her composure. Pei Huan, let's see who of us can stand firm in the end!
"Go to Huayulou and invite Mrs. Fang over."
"yes."
In the villa, Song Shuwan was talking to Pei Huan about the exposure of the Tatar Queen's identity. She was very puzzled: "I understand why someone would go out of their way to expose Huna's identity? If something happens to Huna, this will not be a good thing for Da Zhou. Good thing."
Pei Huan poured a cup of tea slowly: "What happens to Hu Na is indeed not a good thing for Dazhou, but accidents also depend on the circumstances. What if... there is an accident?"
The two people's eyes met, Song Shuwan's lips moved slightly, and after thinking for a few times, she finally turned her head.
"Your Majesty, sometimes when doing things, you still have to consider the future situation. Don't be too harsh."
She guessed that it was Pei Huandong's hand, so she couldn't say much, and could only give a brief reminder.
Pei Huan smiled: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Song Shuwan: "..."
Her ears almost felt calluses hearing these words.
"Your Majesty, the so-called "knowledge" is not just words. I hope your Majesty can satisfy me."
Leaving these instructions behind, Song Shuwan stood up and left.
Pei Huan smiled, turned his eyes, and saw a secret guard appearing.
He asked: "Is there any movement over there at the inn?"
The secret guard nodded: "An hour ago, the Tatar Queen sent someone to invite Mrs. Fang."
Pei Huan sneered: "Keep staring, and if possible, send back what they said."
Unexpectedly, before the secret guard had time to send the news back, Hu Na appeared in front of Pei Huan with Fang.
"Your Majesty has been really active lately."
Pei Huan smiled slightly: "No amount of actions can compare to the Queen's arrangements here. If the situation had not changed this time, I would not have discovered that the Queen had laid so many hidden stakes in Dazhou."
"The prince is joking. No matter how many arrangements I make, they can't compare to the prince's arrangements. Who would have thought that the one who really wants to kill the court officials is not the emperor, but the prince?"
Pei Huan narrowed his eyes, his scrutinizing eyes swept across his body, and asked coldly: "How much do you know?"
Hu Na held her cheek with one hand and did not give an answer.
Seeing this, Pei Huan closed his eyes: "Since you don't want to talk, let's end today's meeting and see the guests off."
A secret guard walked in from outside the door, bowed to Hu Na, and asked her to leave very respectfully.
Hu Na was angry, but she suppressed it deeply, because she knew that in this big week, her retreat was too far, so far that even if she set off from Beidi, she might not be able to save her.
It's so abominable!
At this time, Qinglian appeared, without any intention of avoiding Hu Na, and said directly: "Please rest assured, Crown Prince, even if she doesn't tell, Qinglian can find out everything the Crown Prince wants to know."
Hu Na sneered: "Really? Then let me see what you, the great circumference princess, are capable of."
After leaving these words, Hu Na left neatly.
Qinglian narrowed her eyes slightly: "Your Majesty, we can no longer let this person stay in the capital."
Pei Huan moved his fingers slightly: "I also have this intention, but for now, it is impossible for her to leave."
"Isn't she accompanied by Xie Youxing? If she had true feelings for Xie Youxing, she would agree to leave."
Pei Huan glanced at her: "It's not a good thing to anger Hu Na at this time."
Qinglian smiled, with contempt in her eyes: "Whether it is a good thing or not, you have to do it before you know it. The prince used to be very neat in matters of life and death, so how come he is so timid now? Could it be that, when he is with the prince's concubine, So...you forgot what you used to do?"
Pei Huan smiled, but if you look closely, you will find that the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Qinglian, you are deliberately irritating me."
"Deliberately irritating? No, Qinglian is just telling the truth. Your Majesty, I can no longer see your thunderous methods in the past. If things go on like this, I am afraid that you will... completely lose your fighting spirit without the current Holy Emperor taking action against you."
Qinglian left these words, rolled up her sleeves and left.
Pei Huan sat alone and found Song Shuwan in the evening with wounds all over his body.
"I have some doubts in my mind."
Song Shuwan looked at him and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What doubts does the prince have?"
Pei Huan raised his head: "Qinglian told me that I have lost my fighting spirit."
Song Shuwan didn't answer and asked instead: "Your Majesty, do you think you have lost your fighting spirit?"
Their eyes met, Pei Huan rubbed his eyebrows: "I can't tell, it's just..."
Seeing that he stopped talking, Song Shuwan asked, "Just what?"
"I just think it's weird. Let's not talk about it anymore. Hu Na invited your mother over today and she seemed to have said a lot of things."
Song Shuwan met Pei Huan's deep eyes. She trembled slightly before regaining her composure: "If the prince wants to know about their conversation, I will visit him tomorrow."
Pei Huan shook his head: "That's not what I meant."
"What does the prince mean?"
Pei Huan's eyes darkened: "I want to meet her. There are many things that I hope to get from her mouth."
"I see."
The next day, Song Shuwan went to visit Mr. Fang and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Can you come with me to stay in another village for a few days?"
