Pei Huan smiled: "Why should I take all the credit? It's just that I revealed a little bit about the situation."
He didn't say it clearly, but Song Shuwan knew it. The two chatted for a few words, and then turned the topic to Zhen Rong.
Song Shuwan said: "General Zhen is exposed, so Prince Ning and the little princess must stay here, otherwise something will happen and the Zhen family will..."
She glanced at Zhen Rong and said nothing.
Zhen Rong sighed and looked at Pei Huan with helplessness in his eyes: "Originally I didn't plan to be exposed, but the Crown Prince said that only if I am exposed can I make subsequent arrangements."
Song Shuwan nodded and asked, "Why did the Crown Prince ask General Zhen to do it?"
"I want to use General Zhen to take all Lin Yu's troops away from the capital."
Song Shuwan was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised by Pei Huan's cooperation, but she quickly realized it.
"Can the Emperor let Lin Yujun go because of General Zhen?"
"Whether it's possible or not, I'm going to give it a try."
Pei Huan said and asked Song Shuwan to stay in the villa: "I am going back to Beijing. You will be safer here."
Song Shuwan flatly refused: "I can't stay here."
Pei Huan emphasized: "The capital is very dangerous."
"I know, but I have to go back."
Song Shuwan ignored Pei Huan, turned and left without saying a word.
Behind him, Pei Huan rubbed his eyebrows and turned to look at Zhen Rong: "What are you laughing at, General Zhen?"
Zhen Rong slowly picked up the tea cup: "Did I laugh? Oops, I really laughed. Hey, Prince Pei, you asked for it. You've already left, why are you back again?"
"This is my business and has nothing to do with General Zhen."
Pei Huan had an indifferent look on his face. He had indeed left before, but when he heard the report that Zhen Rong had locked up Song Shuwan, he came back. Unexpectedly, he met Song Shuwan and became angry after just a few words.
"Do you want me to intercede for the prince?"
Zhen Rong's eyes looked like he was watching a show.
Pei Huan sneered: "General Zhen doesn't give me any trouble, I have to thank God."
Zhen Rong shrugged his shoulders and waved towards Pei Huan's leaving figure: "Your Majesty, please go slowly, I won't see you off."
At the Jingcheng Inn, Song Shuwan had just arrived, and Pei Huan also appeared.
"This inn is so close to the palace. If something happens, you won't even have a chance to leave."
Song Shuwan looked at Pei Huan who suddenly appeared in the room, her forehead twitching: "Prince Pei returned to Beijing, why did he come to my place of stay?"
Pei Huan looked around: "Can't you come here?"
Their eyes met, Pei Huan coughed lightly and explained: "I haven't planned to reveal my whereabouts yet."
Song Shuwan crossed her arms and was very disdainful of Pei Huan's explanation.
"The prince can go to other places and still hide his whereabouts."
Pei Huan sighed: "You are angry."
"Why should I be angry?"
Just as Song Shuwan finished her rhetorical question, two gentle knocks came from outside the house, followed by Qinglian's voice.
"Madam, is there any movement in your house?"
Song Shuwan: "..."
The question was so clear, if the people in the room were hostile to her, would she die?
Pei Huan also realized this and frowned: "Come in."
Qinglian entered the house, saw the two people in the room, and immediately saluted: "I have met the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
Pei Huan hummed, and his indifferent eyes swept over her: "You asked directly outside the house, are you afraid that nothing will happen to her?"
"The prince is joking, Qinglian just...heard your voice."
Qinglian lowered her head slightly, her expression full of innocence, as if what she said was the truth.
Pei Huan groaned: "But when I look at it, why isn't it like this?"
"Your Majesty, are you doubting Qinglian?"
Qinglian asked, wanting to take the initiative.
Pei Huan shook his head: "Qinglian, put away those messy thoughts of yours. I can tell you clearly that as long as you dare to hurt her, I will kill you and get out."
Qinglian was about to speak but stopped. After a while, she bowed and left.
At this time, Song Shuwan said: "Is the Crown Prince too indifferent to Qinglian?"
"Indifference? She wants your life, and you still want to complain about her?"
"The Crown Prince has misunderstood. I just feel that Qinglian has been with you for many years and has worked hard without any merit. She should not be rewarded by the Crown Prince..."
Before Song Shuwan finished speaking, a face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Breathing intertwined, she subconsciously took two steps back, and the next moment, there was an extra strength in her waist.
Pei Huan said softly: "Since Baicao's death, you have been acting strangely. Can you talk to me? Please explain the matter clearly to avoid misunderstandings."
After a long silence, Song Shuwan pushed Pei Huan away: "There is no misunderstanding between the prince and I, and there is nothing to say."
"Wan'er..."
"Your Majesty, please leave. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."
Song Shuwan turned her back, not wanting to talk to Pei Huan in detail.
Seeing this, Pei Huan shook his head and left helplessly.
The next day, Zhen Rong appeared in the inn and said solemnly: "Prince Ning was kidnapped last night."
Pei Huan said, no surprise on his face: "He will be here soon."
A while?
Zhen Rong looked surprised.
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
"The king is indeed here, why don't you open the door to welcome guests?"
Pei Huan glanced aside. The secret guard understood and quickly stepped forward to open the door.
Outside the door, Prince Ning waved a folding fan and walked into the room with a smile. He looked around and asked, "Why isn't Song Shuwan here?"
Pei Huan asked: "Prince Ning, is he looking for her?"
Prince Ning took out a hairpin from his arms and said, "If nothing happened, I would not have sent the message in advance."
Pei Huanxian glanced at her and frowned: "That's Wan'er's hairpin."
Prince Ning tossed it up and down twice and said, "Yes, the King of Japan specially sent someone to pick it up yesterday."
On the other side, Song Shuwan learned that King Ning had arrived and immediately rushed to Pei Huan's room. When she saw the hairpin in King Ning's hand, she was shocked.
"That's the hairpin I wore yesterday. Why is it in your hand?"
Prince Ning repeated his previous answer, and Song Shuwan's back felt hairy when she heard it. No one noticed that someone entered her room last night!
In the silence, Prince Ning said with a smile: "Concubine Pei, don't worry. I will not kill you until Pei Huan is dead. Of course... some warnings must be given."
After saying that, he looked at Pei Huan with a coldness in his eyes: "For example, take off one of his arms."
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed, and when she looked closer, she saw that Pei Huan and Prince Ning were already fighting. Both of them were very skilled, and within a few seconds, they fought back and forth.
Zhen Rong was watching the play with a cup of tea in hand. From time to time he would give some pointers, and then sighed: "Prince Pei's skills are not as good as in the past."
"boom!"
A tea cup was thrown at Zhen Rong, and he dodged it neatly and said with a smile: "Why, Prince Pei is so angry and unhappy? But..."
"Zhen Rong, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
In an instant, the three of them were fighting together.
Song Shuwan's mouth twitched and she backed away, saying that she didn't want to pay attention to the three people who were fighting, but she was hesitant in her heart. Why did Zhen Rong and Prince Ning all come to the inn?
