Pei Huan's expression changed slightly: "Wan'er..."
"Go ahead, I happen to be tired too and need to rest for a while."
Song Shuwan decisively accepted Pei Huan's words, watched him leave, and left the inn with Shan Hai.
Shan Hai was a little confused: "Why did the lady leave at this time?"
Song Shuwan didn't answer and asked instead: "Do you think there will be good results if I stay?"
Shan Hai thought carefully: "With Prince Pei's protection, the young lady should not encounter any danger."
"But the danger comes precisely from him."
Song Shuwan looked forward, with a slight change in her calm expression: "Shanhai, I have been poisoned, and I can no longer gamble with my life."
Shan Hai frowned slightly: "Miss, are you thinking too deeply? In the opinion of my subordinates, Crown Prince Pei is still capable of protecting you. If it is true, it is just that he cannot prevent accidents, so some things went wrong. .”
"You really think so?"
After receiving a positive answer to her inquiry, Song Shuwan shook her head: "You don't understand."
Shan Hai wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he pressed back: "I don't know Prince Pei very well, and I don't know much about many aspects, but I feel that the young lady can definitely take a gamble. After all... In the capital right now, staring at There are too many people chasing young ladies.”
Song Shuwan naturally knew this, but just because she knew it, she couldn't take the risk now.
"No need to say more, let's find a place to hide first, and wait until the matter here is over, and then we can talk about other things."
"yes."
In the next few days, Song Shuwan and Shan Hai hid back and forth in the capital.
On the other side, Pei Huan and his men quickly suppressed the emperor's troops. On the fifth day, King Ning took out the abdication edict written by the emperor himself, and everyone in the court was shocked.
"This is impossible. How could the emperor write this abdication edict for no reason?"
"It stands to reason that it really won't happen, but the person who issued the abdication edict was Prince Ning. The Emperor shouldn't..."
All the ministers in the court were talking about it, and when it came to the key points, they all actively lowered their voices.
But even so, it couldn't resist their suspicion. They felt that there was something wrong with the abdication edict.
Under such circumstances, the border changed. After Beidi captured one city, he captured two more cities as quickly as possible. At the same time, he sent a message to the capital, demanding that Zhou must come up with something to redeem the three cities. common people.
"If the emperor of Zhou Dynasty is unwilling to redeem his people, then I, Beidi, will massacre all the people in the three cities!"
When these words came out, everyone in Dazhou was shocked.
"The Beidi people are too presumptuous!"
"How dare they? Where is Prince Pei? Where is Prince Pei now?"
"Damn it, I can't tolerate it, I really can't tolerate it!"
For a time, people everywhere wanted to speak to the court, and many literati even went directly to the capital.
But while there were various discussions outside, there was silence in the court.
After a long time, a minister said: "The emperor has not been in court for two days. Is he really going to abdicate?"
"If you really abdicate, forget it. Just be afraid. It's not because the emperor abdicated that he didn't come to court."
Just when the officials were guessing, King Ning appeared and sat on the dragon chair in the middle.
"Have you heard what I said about Beidi?"
An official stared at Prince Ning and couldn't help but say: "Prince Ning, that is the emperor's dragon chair. As the prince, wouldn't you like to sit in it?"
"Exactly, you are just a prince, how can you sit on the dragon throne?"
Prince Ning smiled as he watched the ministers criticize him. As time passed, the hall suddenly became silent.
Because the ministers discovered that there were suddenly a lot of forbidden troops around, and they were surrounded in the middle.
At this time, Prince Ning said slowly: "You have nothing to say, right?"
In the silence, Prince Ning spoke again: "Since you have nothing to say, let me say that the late emperor's abdication edict has been issued, and I am the legitimate new emperor. I can understand the doubts in your hearts, but it does not mean that I , you can blatantly question me."
Having said this, he looked around, his whole body filled with murderous aura: "When I first ascended the throne, I won't take your life waiting for you, but this will not happen again. I hope you won't make any mistakes again, otherwise..."
There was dead silence in the hall.
After a long silence, a sharp voice broke the stalemate.
"Report, news came back from the border. Prince Pei has arrived at the border, but the Beidi people refused to cooperate and even used the people in the city as a threat. Prince Pei wanted an order and asked the emperor if he would allow him to ignore the people and attack Beidi directly."
In an instant, all the officials were panicked.
"No."
"Those are the people of the three cities. How can Prince Pei ignore the people and attack?"
"Your Majesty, it is better to fulfill Beidi's wishes. It is important to protect the people of my great Zhou Dynasty."
If the ministers' eyes were still on Prince Ning before, then after these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the border.
Amidst all the discussions, Prince Ning remained motionless, as if he was not affected at all.
On the other side, Pei Huan was already aware of the changes in the court. After thinking about it for a while, he asked An San to send a letter to Zhen Rong.
"Remember, you must wait until he has finished reading and written a reply before coming back."
After An San retreated, Pei Huan led his people to the west of the city.
According to the news from the secret guard, this morning, the person he cared about moved outside a house in the west of the city.
Half an hour later, Pei Huan and Song Shuwan looked at each other, and they were silent for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but a sigh broke the silence. Song Shuwan said, "Is the Crown Prince coming here this time for border matters?"
"Yes and no."
Pei Huan gave an ambiguous answer, then looked around and asked, "How are you doing lately?"
"not bad."
Song Shuwan replied, frowning slightly: "Your Majesty, you..."
"Shh-"
Pei Huan made a silent gesture.
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and stepped back slightly. A pair of clear eyes fell on his face, waiting for Pei Huan to speak.
Unexpectedly, after a long while, Pei Huan remained silent.
Song Shuwan couldn't hold it back and asked, "Why did the prince come here today?"
"Let me see you."
Song Shuwan was startled: "Just come to see me?"
"Otherwise?" Pei Huan asked back, helplessness flashed across his face, "Could it be that I am in your heart and only look for you when something happens?"
Song Shuwan recalled that Pei Huan was not like this. It was just that things would easily happen after he found her, so she was a little wary.
At this time, Pei Huan asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Song Shuwan came back to her senses: "It's nothing. Your Majesty, please sit down and I'll have someone bring you a cup of tea."
"No, as I said, I came to see you today. Now after seeing you, it's time for me to leave."
Song Shuwan frowned, feeling suspicious in her heart: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? You can't make it to the border now, can you?"
