Song Shuwan opened her eyes slightly, swept her scrutinizing gaze over Pei Huan, and couldn't help but smile.
"Your Majesty, are you suspecting that I will betray Zhou?"
Pei Huan turned sideways, his dark eyes full of coldness: "If you don't want to betray, why are you here?"
Hu Na said calmly: "If she really wants to betray, you will not discover her whereabouts. Pei Huan, let's talk. I think you have no patience with Beidi anymore, right?"
Although Hu Na was talking to Pei Huan, her eyes were fixed on Mu Ying'er.
After a brief silence, Pei Huan patted Mu Ying'er's hand: "Wait for me here."
Mu Ying'er pursed her lips and said reluctantly: "Why? I want to accompany the prince."
"You can accompany me, but I won't allow it..."
Hu Na walked past the two of them and looked at Mu Ying'er with increasingly cold eyes.
No one knew why Hu Na had such murderous intention towards Mu Ying'er, but compared to the current situation, Pei Huan left Mu Ying'er temporarily and left with Hu Na.
The next moment, Zhen Yuan approached Mu Ying'er: "We met before and I didn't have time to say hello to you. You are the new concubine that Pei Huan is going to marry, right? I look at it, why is there nothing special? Pei Huan likes you. What time is it?”
Mu Ying'er blinked, with a bit of anger in her heart. She had directly revealed her identity at the inn before. Why was she pretending to be in front of her now?
Thoughts flashed through her mind, but Mu Ying'er's face showed no change. She only asked gently: "What do you call the girl? Is what you said just now a simple inquiry, or...who are you complaining about?"
The "who" in her words refers to Song Shuwan.
Zhen Yuan frowned: "Zhen Yuan, just call me Miss Zhen. As for complaining about injustice, do you think I am someone who can complain on behalf of others?"
Mu Ying'er was elusive to Zhen Yuan, and there was some hesitation in her expression unconsciously. She said a few words casually, but said nothing more.
Seeing this, Zhen Yuan sighed: "I always thought that there must be something special about you to be chosen by Pei Huan. But now that your appearance is not good enough, your words are also unhelpful and boring."
Mu Ying'er's expression suddenly changed: "You..."
"Miss Song."
A sudden shout interrupted her words. Everyone turned around and saw a strange guard appearing in front of the hall.
He said: "Your Majesty, please come over."
Mu Ying'er immediately said: "Where is the Crown Prince? Did the Crown Prince say anything?"
The guard glanced at her: "No, Prince Pei didn't say anything."
Mu Yinger rolled her eyes, but before she could say anything, Song Shuwan left with the guards.
Upon seeing this situation, Mu Ying'er subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhen Yuan.
"Where are you going?"
Mu Ying'er raised her eyebrows: "Does where I go have anything to do with you?"
She had already seen that the woman in front of her was hostile to her. Although her tone of voice was gentle, there was already a bit of chill in it.
Zhen Yuan smiled and put his arm on her shoulder: "It doesn't matter, but I want to chat with you for a few words, so... go out for a walk?"
Mu Ying'er's first reaction was to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she quickly stopped them: "Okay, let's go out and talk."
On the other side, Song Shuwan followed the guards into the house and saw Pei Huan and Hu Na who were confronting each other. The atmosphere between the two was very tense, and Hu Na frowned, as if she was ready to take action at any time.
However, the moment Song Shuwan appeared, the stalemate between the two was broken.
Pei Huan and Hu Na turned their heads at the same time, but it was Hu Na who spoke first.
Hu Na asked: "Do you still believe him?"
Song Shuwan was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask that?"
Hu Na held her cheek with one hand: "Don't worry, answer this question first."
Song Shuwan thought about it and asked cautiously: "What does this belief specifically refer to?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Na immediately smiled: "Prince Pei, did you hear that?"
Pei Huan pinched his eyebrows: "You... let's get down to business. How many troops can the Tatars send to Beidi?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows, and while looking at the two of them, she found a place to sit down.
"The key right now is not how many troops the Tatars can send, but what plans Prince Pei has here? I don't believe Prince Pei can't figure out Mu Ying'er's problem."
Hu Na's face was solemn, and she was very dissatisfied with Mu Ying'er's existence.
Pei Huan sighed: "Mu Ying'er is just an insignificant person, why do you need to stare at him?"
"Since it doesn't matter, why does Prince Pei care that I'm staring at her?"
Following Hu Na's words, the atmosphere became stagnant again.
Just when the three of them were silent, there was a knock on the door outside.
"A guest came outside and asked to see His Majesty."
The expressions of the three people in the room changed instantly.
Song Shuwan frowned and asked, "How many people know about your arrival in the city?"
People came one after another. Could it be that everyone knew that Hu Na was here?
Hu Na also felt inexplicable. She deliberately avoided all eyes when she entered the city. How could she be like this now?
But they didn't think too much. Hu Na waved her hand and asked people to invite the visiting guests.
After a while, the three of them looked at Prince Ning and fell into silence.
In the silence, Song Shuwan broke the silence: "Isn't Prince Ning in the capital? Why did he come here?"
Prince Ning held the folding fan and opened it with a "snap" sound: "Your Majesty doesn't believe Pei Huan, so let me come and take a look."
His calmness stunned everyone present.
Pei Huan understood the key: "Is it because of my new wife? The emperor is really troubled."
Prince Ning glanced at him: "It's not that the emperor bothered. You didn't hide the news. The news of marrying a new wife reached the capital. Before the emperor could say anything, the civil and military officials jumped out first. It's interesting that they were so concerned. If you ask me to tell you that you are marrying a new wife, it is all a matter of a group of people who only care about carrots and don't worry about it."
While talking, Prince Ning sat down and looked at Song Shuwan: "And you, running all the way from the capital, are you unwilling to give in? Or do you have other motives?"
Song Shuwan smiled and said, "It should be whatever Prince Ning thinks it is."
Prince Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "I think that some people have to be thrown away when they should be thrown away. Keeping them away is not good for anyone. After all, an unjust and unjust relationship will only affect one party if it lasts for a long time, and the other party will not be affected." Nothing will happen to either side."
He didn't say it clearly, but every word he said meant to keep Song Shuwan away from Pei Huan.
Hearing this, Pei Huan snorted coldly and was very dissatisfied with Prince Ning: "If Prince Ning came here just to show off his words, then I can only advise Prince Ning to return to the capital as soon as possible. After all, as Prince Ning, I am here." Here, I’m afraid I’m the one being suspected.”
Prince Ning burst into laughter, but soon the expression on his face faded: "No matter how suspected I am, I will never be able to compare with you, Prince Pei. If you don't come up with something to satisfy the emperor about this matter, As a result, what do you think the emperor will do?"
