The smile on the emperor's face disappeared instantly, and his expression was full of shock: "You want my little daughter to be your concubine?"
Pei Huan nodded calmly and repeated: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen already has a wife. If the little princess marries Wei Chen, she can only be a concubine."
There was dead silence all around, and the ministers looked away one after another. They couldn't listen to what Pei Huan could say. The emperor was furious. If the accounts were settled afterwards, no one could bear it.
The emperor looked at Pei Huan intently, and after a long time he smiled: "Prince Pei and I were just joking, don't take it seriously, but you said you have a wife, why didn't I know?"
Pei Huan smiled, walked slowly to Song Shuwan, and took her hand: "She is Wei Chen's wife, and the entire capital knows about it."
Before the emperor could speak, a minister next to him asked in confusion: "Didn't the prince and this person have already reconciled? When did they have a relationship again?"
Pei Huan glanced at the official who spoke and said calmly: "We did reconcile, but we got along for a while at the border and felt that we were still suitable for each other, so we got married again."
"Poop, poop again?"
The officials were shocked. They had not expected such a thing at all, and they couldn't help but look at the emperor above.
At that time, there was no trace of smile on the emperor's face.
"I see. Since you have a wife, I don't have to worry about it. This matter ends here."
After that, the emperor strode away.
The surrounding officials exchanged glances and found reasons to leave one after another.
On the way back home, Song Shuwan couldn't help but tilt her head: "How come I didn't know that you and I are getting married again?"
Pei Huan put one hand behind his back and smiled when he heard this: "Are you going to go back and deny this?"
Song Shuwan opened her mouth, then shook her head after a few moments: "It's not necessary, but the prince said something like this today. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a wife in the future."
She said it casually, but as soon as she finished speaking, Pei Huan grabbed her wrist. The man's face was gloomy, and his eyes were even more angry.
Song Shuwan looked at him and clenched her fingers unconsciously: "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"
"You ask me why I'm looking at you like that?"
Pei Huan took a deep breath and struggled to suppress the anger in his heart: "Song Shuwan, don't you have a heart?"
Song Shuwan was stunned, how could she be careless?
"What exactly does the prince want to say?"
Just as Pei Huan was about to speak, the carriage suddenly stopped, followed by a scolding.
"Who are you? Why did you stop the carriage?"
After a brief silence, a sinister voice sounded.
"The people who came to kill you."
The next moment, the sound of swords clashing spread.
In the carriage, Song Shuwan and Pei Huan exchanged glances, and their expressions became solemn involuntarily.
Song Shuwan said: "Is this deliberately blocking us? Who do you think the prince sent?"
"No matter who is sent here, if he dares to show up at this time, I will definitely kill him."
Pei Huan was still annoyed. He was interrupted before he could express his thoughts to Song Shuwan, and he didn't know when he would get the chance next time.
Thinking of this, he looked at Song Shuwan: "Wan'er, I..."
"boom!"
Something heavy hit the carriage, and Pei Huan's words were interrupted again. With a sullen face, he said "wait a moment" to Song Shuwan and took the initiative to go out.
Less than half an hour later, Pei Huan turned around with blood all over his body: "Something may happen in the palace. I have to go there first. You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Shuwan expressed her understanding.
"You go ahead. This group of assassins have been dealt with. They should be safe from now on. Don't worry."
Pei Huan looked at her deeply and said, "I will go back home soon. Then I will discuss some things with you in detail."
With these words behind him, Pei Huan strode away.
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, her eyes a little confused, but she soon regained her composure. No matter what Pei Huan wanted to say, she had to go back home now.
Not long after, Song Shuwan returned to the mansion and told the porter: "If the prince comes back, no matter when, he must send me a message immediately."
Time flashed to the next day. Near noon, news came back from the palace that there was an accident at the border. Pei Huan did not have time to return home, so he left the capital overnight for the border last night, accompanied by the Minister of Household Affairs.
The person who brought the news left after leaving a message. Song Shuwan stood there blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
She had thought that saying goodbye to Pei Huan would be a headache, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't even have a chance to say goodbye now.
"Miss."
Just then, a cry came.
Song Shuwan followed the sound and found that it was An San. Her brows suddenly wrinkled: "Why didn't you leave?"
An San opened his mouth and said with some frustration: "The prince left too hastily last night and his subordinates did not receive the news, so..."
Song Shuwan was silent. She didn't even have time to take An San away. What accident happened at the border?
Putting her thoughts away, Song Shuwan rubbed her eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to follow me to the border?"
"Of course my subordinates will go, but..."
An San showed hesitation on his face.
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes, and a flash of thought flashed in her eyes: "Just what?"
"If my subordinate leaves, there will be no one around the young lady. Once the baby is born..."
Before An San could finish speaking, a black figure walked out.
"There is me."
Song Shuwan looked surprised: "Gao Yu, haven't you returned to the emperor?"
That's right, the person who came out to speak was none other than Gao Yu, the bodyguard the emperor had placed beside Song Shuwan.
Gao Yu has not shown his face since the new emperor ascended the throne. Song Shuwan thought he had gone back, but she did not expect that he would come out again today.
"The emperor sent me here just to protect Miss Song. Your safety has not been confirmed, how could I leave?"
Song Shuwan was silent, somehow thinking of the practice banquet last night, and then looking at Gao Yu, her eyes were a little wary.
"Maybe I don't need you to protect me?"
Gao Yu looked indifferent: "Whether you need it or not, it's not up to Miss Song to say it, it's up to the emperor to say it. In short, I will not leave until there is no news from the palace."
Song Shuwan looked at Gao Yu who was leaving and couldn't help but press her eyebrows again. The emperor intended to grant a marriage last night but was blocked by Pei Huan. There was no guarantee that he wouldn't feel embarrassed and turn against her.
No, she absolutely couldn't let Gao Yu stay with her.
Thinking of this, Song Shuwan motioned for the secret agent to follow: "We must find a way to make Gao Yu leave."
An San nodded solemnly: "My subordinates also have this idea, but..."
He suddenly looked towards the window, and a sharp flash flashed through his eyes.
"Gao Yu, come out."
What?
Song Shuwan turned her head subconsciously and saw Gao Yu jumping in from the window. When their eyes met, the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"What are you doing hiding outside the window?"
"I'm not hiding, I'm just standing there openly."
Song Shuwan took a deep breath: "Even if you didn't hide, we are all discerning people, so there's no need to bother. Let's be honest, Pei Huan, I don't believe you, how can you leave?"
