"Leave the capital?"
Song Shuwan repeated Pei Huan's words, inexplicably feeling a sense of sadness: "Your Majesty, what happened outside?"
Pei Huan said: "No need to ask in detail, let's leave first."
Song Shuwan frowned, but finally followed Pei Huan's words and didn't ask anything.
On the other side, the old woman looked at the situation here and suddenly shouted: "Wait, are you leaving?"
Song Shuwan looked at the voice and frowned slightly: "Is something wrong, old man?"
The old woman stretched out her hand through the railing: "I have something, of course I have something. Can you take me away with you? I heard that you just talked about wanting to leave the capital. Maybe I can help you."
Before Song Shuwan could say anything, Pei Huan refused.
"I don't need your help, let's go."
Song Shuwan glanced at the old woman, nodded and followed Pei Huan away.
The old woman was anxious: "If you don't take me with you, I will call someone right now and say that you have no reason..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was stared at by Pei Huan's cold eyes.
Pei Huan said: "You want to threaten me?"
The old woman shrank: "It's not a threat, I can really help you. There is no place in this capital that I can't go to or that I don't know about."
Pei Huan narrowed his eyes, and a look of scrutiny quickly flashed through his eyes.
At this time, Song Shuwan whispered: "There is no need to get entangled with her. This old woman has given me a very strange feeling from the beginning."
Pei Huan nodded, but the next moment, the jailer opened the door.
Song Shuwan frowned suddenly: "Your Majesty, this..."
Pei Huan said calmly: "Looking at her performance, if she has no ability, I will kill her."
The old woman just walked out of the cell. When she heard these words, her face suddenly stiffened, and then she rubbed her hands and laughed.
"Don't worry, I won't let Prince Pei down."
Pei Huan glanced at her: "I hope so."
A group of people left the prison, and there was already a carriage waiting outside.
As soon as Song Shuwan and Pei Huan showed up, Qinglian and Baicao came to greet them.
Qinglian said: "Arrangements have been made at the city gate. Are you sure that the prince will leave today? The matter has not reached an irreversible point yet. If we delay it a little longer, maybe..."
"Have you said enough?"
Just four words made Qinglian quickly lower her head.
"Your Majesty, I just..."
"Walk."
Pei Huanming showed that he didn't want to talk nonsense with Qinglian, so he got on the carriage without saying a word.
Song Shuwan fell behind. She wanted to ask, but she held back. Pei Huan's words and deeds today were really weird. She had to understand the situation first before asking anything else.
The carriage ran quickly through the streets of the capital. Near the city gate, a group of forbidden soldiers suddenly appeared and stopped the team.
Jing Ming clasped one hand behind his back: "Prince Pei, how about we get out of the car and talk for a while?"
On the carriage, Song Shuwan glanced at Pei Huan and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, outside..."
Pei Huan made a silent gesture: "He can't stop him."
The next moment, the sound of fighting sounded outside.
Song Shuwan's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, if we fight with the Imperial Army here, wouldn't we mean to..."
"It doesn't matter, I know what's going on."
As soon as Pei Huan finished speaking, the sound of fighting outside became louder.
At the same time, Song Shuwan also heard some shouts mixed in.
She said uncertainly: "The little princess seems to be outside?"
Pei Huan narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry about her."
After a while, the movement outside became quieter, and the little princess's voice came outside the carriage.
"Pei Huan, come out."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and her fingertips trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, do you want to go out for a visit?"
"Go directly."
The three cold words fell, the carriage started to move, and then Song Shuwan heard the angry voice of the little princess.
"Pei Huan, do you really want to leave the capital regardless of Da Zhou and Lin Yujun?"
The carriage gradually went away, and the little princess's voice gradually disappeared.
Song Shuwan couldn't hold back, opened the car window and took a look outside: "Your Majesty, can you tell me now, what happened?"
"The emperor appointed the Tatar princess as his queen, and the officials in the court basically changed. Queen Huna also left the capital, but Xie Youxing... entered the court."
Song Shuwan's heart was trembling. She could understand what happened before. After all, there had been accusations before, but what happened to Xie Youxing? Didn't he follow Hu Na around?
She thought about it and asked directly.
Pei Huan said lightly: "He did follow Hu Na, but this time, he gave Hu Na a heavy blow."
Under Pei Huan's narration, Song Shuwan learned that Hu Na was preparing to leave a few days ago, but when she was ready, Xie Youxing leaked it.
The imperial army surrounded the Tatar envoy team, and both sides attacked. Most of the Tatar people were killed, and the queen was also seriously injured by Xie Youxing.
"Xie Youxing himself returned to the court because of this merit."
Song Shuwan was silent for a long time and spoke with difficulty: "Xie Youxing did this, will the emperor really believe him?"
"After all, he is the son of King Yong. Before King Yong's reputation is completely ruined, even the emperor must take into account the past."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan fell silent, and after a long time she uttered four words: "I understand."
The carriage drove along the official road and stopped outside a village near dusk.
Song Shuwan jumped out of the car and turned around to see Baicao coming over with a frown on her face. She couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why are you looking so sad?"
Baicao glanced back: "Prince Princess, Qinglian seems to be... planning something."
Qinglian?
Song Shuwan looked in the direction she was looking before and saw Qinglian talking to several secret guards.
I don't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt... Qinglian was looking at her.
At this time, their eyes met in the air. After a brief pause, Song Shuwan saw Qinglian walking towards her.
"The Crown Princess is staring at Qinglian, but what are your orders?"
Song Shuwan pursed her lips slightly: "It's nothing."
Qinglian's eyes were deep: "Really? If that's the case, Qinglian will go do other things."
"Um."
After watching Qinglian leave, Song Shuwan turned around and said, "Baicao, don't leave me too far from now on."
Baicao had this intention and nodded immediately after hearing the words: "I understand."
The two entered the residence arranged by the village. Just as Song Shuwan was about to take a rest, the old woman who had followed him from the prison approached her.
"Prince Concubine, I would like to ask, where are you going?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "Are you very concerned about this issue?"
"Isn't this a very important thing? It's normal for me to pay attention, right?"
The old woman's eyes twinkled.
Song Shuwan leaned forward slightly and sneered: "I think you are not concerned about the problem itself, right? The prince brought you out and said he wanted to see your skills, but in my opinion, your skills are useless. "
The old woman was anxious: "How can you say that?"
"What, did I say something wrong? None of us are in the capital anymore, what use can you be?"
