"I've met the prince."
A group of people quickly entered Lin Yujun's camp, and the leader bowed his hands in salute.
Pei Huan raised his hand slightly and returned the greeting: "Master Zhang, there is no need to be polite. It's been a hard journey all the way from the capital. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea first."
The man known as Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "The prince is joking. How can working for the emperor be considered hard work? On the contrary, Prince Pei's side, I heard it's been lively lately."
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows: "Listening to what Mr. Zhang said, he knows Lin Yujun's situation very well."
Mr. Zhang laughed and revealed the matter with a few perfunctory words.
Several people entered the tent and sat down. Pei Huan and Master Zhang chatted for a while, and the latter brought the topic to the purpose of coming to Anyuan City this time.
"The emperor's intention is to let the prince withdraw the army from Taihe City."
Mr. Zhang felt a little guilty, and even his tone of voice was a little erratic.
Pei Huan rubbed his fingertips and looked at him without saying a word.
As time passed, Mr. Zhang coughed twice unconsciously and found an excuse to speak.
"Well, if Prince Pei feels embarrassed, you can suppress the matter temporarily. Even if the emperor's words have come out, please don't delay for too long, lest you end up..."
Master Zhang saw Pei Huan's face darken mid-sentence, and his voice immediately got stuck in his throat.
The next moment, Pei Huan spoke: "As a minister, I must obey the emperor's will. It's just that I have some doubts in my heart. I hope Mr. Zhang can clarify it for me."
Mr. Zhang immediately said: "I don't dare to say anything to clear up the confusion. Prince Pei just says what he has to say."
Pei Huan nodded slightly: "In that case, let me tell you directly. Taihe City was captured only two days ago. Why did the capital know about it so quickly? In addition, is Mr. Zhang too afraid of me? I will eat person?"
Cold sweat suddenly flowed from Mr. Zhang's forehead: "Prince Pei doesn't know. This news was sent by the emperor's secret guard. As for fear, Prince Pei must have misunderstood. We are both officials of the imperial court, how can I be afraid of Prince Pei."
Pei Huan's deep eyes fell on Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang's eyes flickered before he looked away.
"Master Zhang, you have worked hard all the way. Let's go and rest first."
Mr. Zhang stood up immediately and walked away neatly.
Wan Shan walked out of the corner with confusion on his face: "Your Majesty, where does this official named Zhang come from? His words and deeds are too weird."
"Zhang Chengming, the emperor's eldest son-in-law, oh, also the consort."
Wan Shan was shocked: "He is the consort? Doesn't it mean that the consort cannot interfere in the government affairs? The emperor doesn't even care about the rules?"
He knew that the reason why the late emperor suppressed the young princess and refused to marry her was because of this. Now how could the new emperor's consort come over so blatantly?
Pei Huan smiled sarcastically: "The so-called rules are just to determine whether the person is willing to abide by them. Obviously, our new emperor is not willing."
Wan Shan frowned: "Your Majesty, this is not a good sign. Logically speaking, you and the Emperor have some friendship, right? Why does the Emperor treat you like this now?"
Pei Huan leaned back and said, "That's what you think of as friendship. In fact, when the two of us join forces, all we seek is a benefit."
Hearing this, Wanshan became silent.
If this is the case, then they may have to be extremely careful with their subsequent plans.
Thinking of this, he whispered: "How does the Crown Prince plan to arrange that Zhang Chengming?"
Pei Huan tapped his knee: "No need to arrange, just send two people to keep an eye on him. Remember, you must find out his purpose. Also, his expression is very wrong. There must be a problem in the middle. Find out."
Wan Shan saluted: "I understand, I will make arrangements right away."
After Wan Shan left, Pei Huan sat alone for a long time, then called a secret guard and gave some instructions.
As time turned to the next day, Pei Huan greeted Song Shuwan and left Anyuan City.
Song Shuwan did not dare to leave the city at will this time. After thinking about it, she simply called up Shanhai to conduct a free clinic in the city.
After being so busy for a few days, Lin Cong suddenly appeared: "Miss Song, do you still remember the old man you brought back with the Crown Prince when you and the Crown Prince returned to the city?"
Song Shuwan thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Remember, what's wrong?"
"That old man is dead."
Song Shuwan was startled: "Dead? How did you die?"
"I don't know, he suddenly fell to the ground and died."
Sudden?
Song Shuwan's heart moved and she asked Lin Cong to take her to have a look.
Lin Cong was puzzled: "The man is dead, why did Miss Song go to see him?"
Song Shuwan tilted her head, with a hint of smile in her tone: "That's what you said, but when you appeared in front of me and talked about this matter to me, didn't you just want me to go and see and confirm the situation?"
Lin Cong coughed slightly and looked around, but did not dare to look at Song Shuwan.
Song Shuwan didn't care. After seeing the old man's body, she took a closer look.
Lin Cong looked on and saw her getting up and immediately asked: "Is there any problem with this old man's death?"
Song Shuwan stood up: "No problem, he died peacefully, and it looked like a natural death."
Lin Cong heard something strange in her words: "Watching?"
Song Shuwan smiled softly: "Yes, watch."
Sometimes, being too normal is the greatest normality, especially when it comes to death.
Lin Cong was about to ask questions when a few soldiers suddenly ran outside. The leader entered the camp and shouted: "A group of people came outside. They said that their old father was brought to the camp a few days ago. They don't know what happened." , but asked to see the old man."
Song Shuwan and Lin Cong looked at each other, and both of their eyes fell on the old man's body on the ground.
Song Shuwan smiled and said: "If there is a problem with the front foot, someone will come looking for the back foot. It's so interesting, General Lin."
Lin Cong's face turned dark. He didn't think this matter was interesting. Now he was the only general left in the camp. If something went wrong, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
Thinking of this, Lin Cong asked in a deep voice: "Bring them into the camp first. As for the rest, wait until they come in."
At this time, Song Shuwan said: "We can't wait until they come in."
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Cong asked subconsciously, with confusion on his face.
Song Shuwan was silent, and then patiently explained: "They should not just come by themselves."
Having said this, she looked at the soldier who was delivering the message: "Am I right?"
The soldier scratched his head and nodded: "Miss Song is right, many people followed them."
Lin Cong laughed angrily. This was obviously causing trouble on purpose and trying to ruin Lin Yujun's reputation.
At this time, Song Shuwan spoke again: "General Lin should stabilize his emotions and don't let others influence him."
Lin Cong turned around and said, "How could I be affected? Miss Song is too worried."
Song Shuwan looked at him deeply, then asked another question: "General Lin, do you want me to go with him?"
