"Did Princess Taining teach you these words?"
Pei Huan asked clearly and neatly, without any hesitation.
The old man's expression froze, and he said with some annoyance: "Who said it was Princess Taining who taught me? Even if you are the prince, you cannot slander others at will."
Pei Huan smiled slightly: "Am I making things difficult, or is the old man getting angry from shame?"
Having said this, Pei Huan looked around.
"To be honest, I know why you are here, and I am glad that you can think of me, but as a citizen of Dazhou, I don't want all of your ideas to be influenced by others, without even the ability to distinguish."
After these words fell, the people looked at each other, and they all saw surprise and suspicion in each other's eyes, but they were not as bold as the old man. For a while, they all stood in place and only talked in low voices.
At this moment, Song Shuwan vaguely understood that the current scene might have been specially prepared by Pei Huan.
When she was arrested before, Zhen Yuan and Ye Yin both told her some things about Anyuan City. It was normal for people to be misled, but like Pei Huan, who was so eager to explain, it could easily be self-defeating if it was not handled well.
However, Pei Huan should have considered this, so she doesn't need to worry too much, right?
On the other side, Pei Huan has gradually eliminated the hostility of the people around him towards Song Shuwan.
"We are all from the Zhou Dynasty. Let's forget it this time. I hope you won't have another chance. After all, not everyone can be so generous and not take everything to heart."
Pei Huan sent the people away, leaving only the old man who showed up at first.
The old man looked around, trembling and wanted to leave.
However, as soon as Pei Huan raised his hand, someone immediately pressed his shoulder.
The old man was anxious: "Prince Pei, what do you mean?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "It's not interesting. I'll take you to meet Princess Taining."
The old man's eyes flashed, and he sat down on the ground on the spot, clapped his thighs and shouted: "You are bullying people, you are bullying people, Crown Prince Pei is bullying people."
There were people walking slowly around. When they heard the movement here, they immediately turned their heads. Their doubtful eyes fell on the old man, and they were all hesitant.
"What's going on? What happened to the old man?"
"I don't know. He was the first one to show his face. Prince Pei was so easy to explain to us. It's impossible to embarrass an old man, right?"
"Could it be that the old man was yelling about wanting some benefit from Prince Pei? After all, Prince Pei has a really good temper towards the people of Zhou Dynasty."
Although the old man was old, he had very sharp eyes and ears. He jumped up almost immediately and shouted: "What are you talking nonsense about? Do I look like someone who would ask for favors from Prince Pei?"
Several people in the distance exchanged glances. They originally made guesses, but when they saw the old man's appearance, they immediately became convinced.
"Prince Pei, he just said that Miss Song is unworthy. He must be trying to fish in troubled waters and ruin the reputation of you and Miss Song. This kind of person must have other motives."
"Yes, we have to arrest them, but we can't release them, otherwise we won't know when they collude with foreign enemies."
No one expected that the old man who was supported by the common people just now would become the opposite.
As time passed, cold sweat broke out on the old man's forehead: "You, how could you..."
He wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak to so many people. In the end, he could only stand there and stare at the people opposite him blankly.
Song Shuwan, who had been silent all this time, frowned slightly. The old man was easily agitated. If something went wrong, even if Pei Huan was right, he would have to bear some blame.
Thinking of this, Song Shuwan immediately pulled down Pei Huan's sleeves and motioned for him to come forward and say a few words.
Pei Huan thought it was almost done, gave Song Shuwan a comforting look, and then had the old man taken away.
Back at Lin Yujun's camp, before Song Shuwan could sit down, Princess Taining and the Sixth Prince appeared.
"It seems that my people are quite capable and brought you back intact."
Song Shuwan smiled and thanked her, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Princess Taining walking in front of Pei Huan in two steps at a time.
"Why did Prince Pei come back with Song Shuwan?"
"Your people were surrounded, and I just appeared and brought them back together."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Taining's face darkened: "It turned out to be the prince who saved the people. The prince is really busy. He captured Taihe City with one foot and then went to save people with the other. It's really shocking."
Pei Huan was quite speechless, and Princess Taining's expression not only showed no signs of shock, but also carried the aura of wanting to kill someone.
"Princess Taining, if you don't want to hide your murderous intention, you don't have to say anything against your will here. After all, I know what you think about Wan'er."
Princess Taining sneered: "Now that you know, Pei Huan, how dare you let me stay here?"
Pei Huan turned around: "There are no useless people. The princess does have murderous intentions towards Wan'er, but with the princess here, there must be few blind people who dare to offend Wan'er."
His straightforward words made Song Shuwan and Princess Taining change their expressions.
The difference is that the former is helpless, while the latter is anger and resentment.
"Pei Huan, you'd better keep a close eye on Song Shuwan, otherwise..."
Princess Taining left an unfinished sentence, waved her hands and strode away.
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and said disapprovingly: "Even if the Crown Prince has some arrangements for Princess Taining, he shouldn't be so straightforward."
Pei Huan crossed his arms and said, "I've been too tired these past few days. I don't want to hang out with Princess Taining here. Wan'er, I need to rest."
It turned out to be for rest.
Song Shuwan tightened her fingers: "In that case, the prince, please go and rest quickly. I will go back to my tent. If the prince needs anything, send someone to find me."
After receiving a positive answer, Song Shuwan left. Unexpectedly, she met Lin Cong halfway. The latter was full of anger. When he saw Song Shuwan, he immediately stopped.
"I've seen Miss Song. Is the prince in the camp?"
"exist."
Song Shuwan pointed out the location to Lin Cong and was about to ask in detail when she saw Lin Cong striding away. In the end, she could only look at Lin Cong's figure, feeling very confused.
What's wrong with Lin Cong?
However, she didn't have time to think too much when her attention was attracted by the sudden voice from behind.
"I have met His Highness Sixth. Why did His Highness come out so quickly?"
The Sixth Prince waved his hand: "Miss Song, there's no need to be polite. I'm mainly here to see you. Naturally, I won't stay there for a long time. Miss Song, on the other hand, being in An Qing's hands these past few days didn't scare you, right?"
Song Shuwan smiled and shook her head: "Excuse me, Your Highness, Sixth Highness, no need to worry."
After a pause, Song Shuwan continued: "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, called me to stop, probably not just for small talk."
The Sixth Prince's expression was a little complicated, but he quickly calmed down: "I'm here to find Miss Song. I do have something to do, but I just don't know if Miss Song is willing to help?"
"Whether you are willing to help or not depends on what His Highness the Sixth Prince wants to say. If it is too important, I won't be able to help."
The Sixth Prince burst into laughter: "Don't worry, Miss Song can really help with this matter. Come with me, I will take you to meet someone."
Song Shuwan hesitated for a moment, and finally left the camp with the Sixth Prince.
