Pei Huan raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the reason I appear here is because there is something going on in the palace?"
Song Shuwan was silent, and after a few moments she said uncertainly: "Isn't it?"
Pei Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Wan'er, I... forget it, if I don't talk about this, I can only say that this time, I really didn't come here because of things in the palace."
"That is?"
Pei Huanmei's eyes were full of tenderness: "I'll take you home."
The carriage swayed and ran through the streets of the capital. Song Shuwan turned her head and did not glance at Pei Huan along the way, but her ears turned red unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, Miss, the mansion has arrived."
Suddenly, the coachman's voice sounded. Song Shuwan didn't stay and got off first. The next moment, her expression changed.
"Miss Zhen."
At the entrance of the villa, Zhen Yuan was standing with two masked men. She turned around when she heard the voice, and then the corners of her mouth instantly raised.
"I heard that Miss Song entered the palace. Have you just come back?"
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced at the carriage behind her. Seeing that Pei Huan had not gotten off, she said calmly: "Miss Zhen already knew that I had entered the palace, so how could she not know that I came back? Come in, I don't know where Miss Zhen came today." Why?"
She asked, adding something before Zhen Yuan spoke.
"If Miss Zhen is looking for my help, then please take back what you said. I will not get involved in Miss Zhen's affairs."
Zhen Yuan said with a smile: "Miss Song didn't know what was going on, so she refused so simply. Is it a little too arbitrary?"
Song Shuwan twitched the corners of her lips: "I am very afraid of trouble. I would rather be arbitrary than mess with things randomly."
Entering the hall, Song Shuwan asked her servants to bring tea.
"We are all acquaintances, so don't be secretive about some things. Let's be honest. Why did Miss Zhen come today?"
Zhen Yuan curled up the corners of his lips, but his eyes fell to the side.
Song Shuwan followed her gaze and suddenly felt a bad feeling in her heart. Could that person be... Prince Ning?
As she thought, one of them took off the mask on his face, revealing the face of Prince Ning.
Really, what are you afraid of?
Song Shuwan felt helpless, but her face showed no change: "I have met Prince Ning. How is Prince Ning doing lately?"
Prince Ning said with a smile: "Thanks to you and your wife, I have been doing very well recently."
Song Shuwan: "..."
If Prince Ning hadn't gritted his teeth at the last few words, she would still have believed them.
After a brief silence, Prince Ning spoke again: "Why, you don't know how to talk to me?"
Song Shuwan coughed lightly: "Your Majesty was joking, I was just thinking about your purpose of dressing up in disguise and following Miss Zhen here."
Prince Ning stood up and walked slowly to her: "I don't have any intention. I just want to ask a few questions. I hope Miss Song can answer them truthfully."
"If I can answer it, I will answer it truthfully."
As soon as Song Shuwan finished speaking, Prince Ning grabbed her neck. The sudden suffocation made her eyes widen and she struggled subconsciously.
King Ning's eyes flashed fiercely, and the strength in his hands gradually became stronger.
"presumptuous!"
A scolding suddenly sounded, followed by a figure appearing, forcing King Ning to retreat.
Prince Ning sneered: "I knew you were here, Pei Huan, hiding in the dark is not what a gentleman would do."
"Gentleman? You are not worthy of me treating you like a gentleman!"
Pei Huan turned around and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Song Shuwan touched the place where she was pinched and looked at Prince Ning with a little fear in her eyes: "It's okay."
Pei Huan glanced at Prince Ning coldly: "Tell me, why are you two blocking the door today?"
Prince Ning moved his wrist and said casually: "I want to ask you a few questions."
"Ask me or her?"
Although Pei Huan did not show up, he was very clear about the conversations between several people.
Prince Ning said calmly: "Is there any difference? After all, you two know the same things."
Pei Huan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "What do you want to ask?"
"Is the emperor dying?"
When Prince Ning opened his mouth, he threw a heavy blow at the first question.
"You can't die yet."
King Ning asked again: "Is there any change in the palace?"
"not yet."
After two questions, Prince Ning laughed angrily.
"What's the difference between your answer and no answer?"
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows: "That's the truth. If Prince Ning doesn't believe it, he can send someone into the palace to investigate."
"boom!"
Prince Ning slapped the table hard, stood up and asked, "Pei Huan, you have contributed a lot to this predicament that this king is in. Why are you pretending to be stupid here now?"
"Am I pretending to be stupid, or is Prince Ning blurring the point?"
Pei Huan stood up and said with mockery in his eyes: "I didn't tie Prince Ning up in the first place. Now that you have made a choice, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. Don't go back and forth and pick yourself up cleanly. You It’s not worthy!”
You don't deserve it!
The four words at the end of Pei Huan's words fell like thunder.
Prince Ning's expression changed several times, and finally he suppressed his anger: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, but you must explain the situation in the palace clearly to me now!"
Pei Huan sneered: "Do you mean it's necessary if you say it's necessary? Prince Ning is no longer a three-year-old child. He should know that you have to pay for what you want. I can't use this trick with nothing."
The two were facing each other, and neither of them had any intention of letting go.
Seeing the passage of time, Song Shuwan on the side frowned unconsciously.
At this moment, Zhen Yuan spoke: "Let me tell you, how long do you two plan to maintain a stalemate? This place is being watched by many people. If it continues to be delayed, it will not be beneficial to anyone."
Seeing her speak, Song Shuwan also spoke: "You are the ones who have been delaying it now, don't drag us into it."
Zhen Yuan tilted his head: "Miss Song really defended Prince Pei. I just opened my mouth and you spoke out. I just don't know if Prince Pei is willing to defend you in the future."
Song Shuwan ignored her, turned her eyes, and met Pei Huan's gaze.
Pei Huan tilted his head slightly and said with a warning in his tone: "Zhen Yuan, put away your drama of sowing discord. A few words will not affect the relationship between the two of us."
"Oh? Since it has no impact, why is Prince Pei so nervous?"
Zhen Yuan leaned forward, with a somewhat meaningful smile on his lips.
Pei Huan frowned. He had always felt that Zhen Yuan was more difficult to deal with than Prince Ning, but now that he was facing him head-on, he actually felt a little powerless for no reason, as if he was trying his best to swing his fist, but it just couldn't land.
"Miss Zhen."
Suddenly, Song Shuwan spoke. When the words fell, she was already standing behind Pei Huan: "The trust between the Crown Prince and me cannot be shaken with your words, so don't bother."
Zhen Yuan frowned and took out a letter from his arms: "Miss Song, are you sure you can stick to this idea after reading this?"
