Outside the palace, Pei Huan and his party escaped from the pursuers from behind.
Zhen Rong turned around: "Princess, please read the edict quickly."
Qinglian nodded. After reading the edict, her expression changed drastically, and then she threw the edict to the ground: "Damn it, this edict is fake!"
What?
Zhen Rong's expression also changed. He had wasted so much effort, but now he was told that the edict was fake?
He couldn't believe it and said, "Did the eldest princess not see it clearly? The edict was written by the emperor himself and was stamped with a jade seal. How could it be fake?"
Qinglian gritted her teeth: "It's because of the jade seal that this edict became fake."
Zhen Rong realized something, picked up the edict and looked at it, almost vomiting blood.
"That jade seal is fake, Your Majesty, what happened today..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, "What is Your Majesty looking at in the palace?"
Pei Huan slightly twitched his lips: "Do you think Prince Ning will be willing to fail?"
Zhen Rong and Qing Lian were both stupid. They understood the key almost instantly. Prince Ning would still fight with the emperor in the palace.
Zhen Rong asked: "Are you going to fight back? I'm not willing to just retreat like this."
Qinglian then spoke: "I'm not willing to do it either."
Pei Huan glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "It's not a question of whether you are willing or not. Once we come out, we can't go back. Let's go and let Prince Ning and the Emperor struggle with each other first. After all... we still have a chance."
After saying these words, Pei Huan turned and left. He still wanted to find Song Shuwan.
There were a lot of changes in the palace today. Song Shuwan was guarding outside the palace, and she must be worried and worried. He had to find someone early... huh? Who's ahead?
"Prince Pei, we meet again."
Under the moonlight, a lame man walked out.
Pei Huan frowned slightly: "Chen San, what are you doing here?"
"Of course he came to deliver news to Prince Pei. Prince Pei left openly, but secretly turned around. Although he successfully plotted against the Emperor and Prince Ning, his purpose was not achieved. He must feel very unhappy, right?"
Chen San stepped forward with a cane. Although his back was hunched, his expression was a bit encouraging: "I have a way to make the prince's wish come true, prince, would you like to hear it?"
"Again, you are sending a message, and you are also giving a solution. Chen San, what is your purpose?"
"What did Crown Prince Pei say? It can't be that Chen San and I like the Crown Prince, and I just want the Crown Prince to get his wish?"
Pei Huan's eyes showed sarcasm: "Really? Why didn't I know that you, Chen San, are still the same person?"
"Looking at the whole capital, not many people know about my, Chen San's temperament."
Pei Huan shook his head and signaled Chen San to retreat: "I will at most listen to your words and ask you to leave."
Chen San's expression remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, don't you want your wish to be fulfilled?"
"I want to get my wish, but I don't need to rely on you to get my wish."
After that, Pei Huan left directly.
Chen San fell behind, narrowed his eyes slightly at his figure, and smiled after a while: "Prince Pei, I think you will change your mind soon."
On the other side, Song Shuwan left Huayulou with An San and went straight to the inn closest to the palace.
"An San, go get some information. I always feel that what happens in the palace tonight will be beyond everyone's expectations."
An San retreated in response.
The next day, not long after Song Shuwan got up, An San knocked on the door.
"Miss, news from the palace has come out."
Song Shuwan immediately let him in: "What's going on?"
An San opened his mouth, and said with an embarrassed look on his face for a while: "Miss, please don't be angry when you hear this news."
After that, he didn't wait for a reply and said directly: "The Crown Prince is back and he also entered the palace yesterday."
The room became silent for a moment.
As time passed, An San couldn't hold it back and asked carefully: "Miss, you must not be angry, right?"
Song Shuwan raised her lips: "Why should I be angry? It's too late for me to be happy now."
An San choked up. He felt that the lady's words were full of murderous intent.
"Miss, if you are angry, go find the prince. The prince will definitely not say anything if he is wronged."
The curve of Song Shuwan's mouth deepened: "Do you think I'm afraid of what he will say?"
An San lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Okay, I'm not an evil ghost, and I won't make you angry."
Song Shuwan patted An San on the shoulder to reassure him, then changed her voice and asked: "Since you can find out about him, you must be able to contact him, right? Where is he now?"
An San's eyes were wandering, and he kept looking towards the door.
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows and understood: "Now that you are here, don't stand outside and come in."
After a brief silence, Pei Huan pushed the door open and asked with a smile, "How are you doing?"
Song Shuwan said calmly: "Sorry for your concern, I'm doing pretty well lately."
The two people's eyes met, and Pei Huan coughed lightly: "I entered the palace yesterday, but I encountered some accidents and didn't achieve what I wanted."
Song Shuwan hummed: "Sit down."
Pei Huan was a little stunned. He thought a lot, but he never thought that Song Shuwan would react like this.
"you……"
He hesitated and wanted to ask, but as soon as he spoke, he took it back and started talking about another thing: "I met Chen San last night."
Song Shuwan tilted her head: "When did you meet her?"
Pei Huan talked for an hour, and Song Shuwan's face suddenly turned cold. Chen San found Pei Huan after meeting her. It seemed that Chen San had known about Pei Huan's return for a long time, but he just didn't tell her.
It’s really interesting!
She thought to herself, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly: "I understand."
Pei Huan was silent and couldn't help but ask: "You don't want to know what Chen San said to me?"
Song Shuwan asked back: "Why do I want to know about this?"
"Chen San is your subordinate."
"Those who are disobedient are not considered subordinates."
Hearing this, Pei Huan smiled bitterly and chose to go straight to the point: "You are angry."
Song Shuwan immediately laughed: "Is the prince telling a joke? There is no reason, why should I be angry?"
"My return to the capital was a temporary idea. Before this, I had no intention of coming back."
Pei Huan explained and took a few steps towards Song Shuwan. However, the next moment, Song Shuwan distanced himself from him.
"The prince has his plans. There is no need to explain anything to me. Sit down. Regarding what happened yesterday, I think we need to talk about the details."
Pei Huan felt a little helpless, but he had to sit down cooperatively: "What do you want to know?"
"What happened in the palace yesterday?"
"Prince Ning and Qinglian entered the palace and were plotted by the emperor. After I appeared, I reversed the situation and asked the emperor to write an edict, but the edict was false."
Pei Huan summarized it in one sentence, but Song Shuwan felt chilled when she heard it. Although it was an understatement, the danger involved became more and more horrifying the more she thought about it.
After a moment, Song Shuwan said, "I want to know why you stand on Qinglian's side."
