The next day, Song Shuwan said goodbye to Jiang Chi, and the group left Xuecheng as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Pei Huan was having a headache in Anyuan City looking at Princess Taining in front of him.
"I have already said that I will not marry you, why are you still lingering here?"
Princess Taining raised her chin: "What does it mean to be entangled? Pei Huan, I asked my father for grace. As long as you marry me, the court can forget about this unauthorized war and reward you according to your merits. Pei Huan, you have fought on the battlefield for so long, are you willing to get nothing?"
Pei Huan's eyes flashed with coldness: "Don't you think the princess feels that these words can threaten me?"
Princess Taining was stunned for a moment: "Threat? I don't want to threaten you, Pei Huan, I just don't want your hard work to be in vain. You are a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you should not be punished by the court for some behavior."
The coldness in Pei Huan's eyes became more and more obvious: "Princess Taining knows everything, why do you think the court will not know it? I have made it clear. I hope the princess can understand the key and don't waste time with me. Come, take the princess back to the inn."
As Pei Huan finished speaking, someone immediately came in and asked Princess Taining to leave.
Princess Taining was anxious: "Pei Huan, you don't know the heart of a good person. I tell you, if you piss me off, I won't make you feel better."
"Then I'll wait and see."
When Pei Huan saw that Princess Taining would not leave, he left without saying a word.
The angry Princess Taining stamped her feet on the spot. When she wanted to chase someone, she was stopped again. In the end, she could only lose her temper at the person who blocked her.
However, Pei Huan didn't care. He was asking the secret guard Song Shuwan about his whereabouts.
"The letter has been sent. According to Miss Song's temperament, she should be on her way back now."
Pei Huan nodded, but he was vaguely worried. There were too many people staring at him, and he was really worried about Song Shuwan coming back alone.
At night, a group of secret guards left Anyuan City as quickly as possible.
In the capital, the emperor looked at the secret letter on the imperial case and couldn't help but sigh. Pei Huan was indeed a strong general, but this general had too many ideas. Once he couldn't control them, he would pose a great threat.
In order to stabilize his position, Pei Huan could only suffer a little injustice.
"It is my decree that once the border war is over, let Pei Huan return to Beijing quickly without delay."
A carrier pigeon flew out of the palace and ran to the border as fast as possible.
Beidi retreated when it snowed again on the border. Pei Huan seized the opportunity and directly counterattacked and captured several cities on the border of Beidi.
Under such circumstances, Beidi had no choice but to express his surrender and proposed peace again.
This time, before Pei Huan could do anything, Princess Taining appeared as an envoy.
Just when everything was heading toward stability, Song Shuwan returned to Anyuan City.
After receiving the news, Pei Huan immediately rushed to the inn where Song Shuwan stayed.
"There is news from the capital, asking me to return to the capital as soon as possible."
Song Shuwan didn't expect Pei Huan to say this when he showed up. She didn't react for a while, but after reacting, she couldn't help but frown.
"Is the Emperor in a hurry to let the Crown Prince go back?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "It should be that he wants to punish me."
"Criminal?"
Song Shuwan was confused by these two words. In the current situation, shouldn't the emperor give a reward? How did it become a punishment?
After hearing her question, Pei Huan smiled and spoke in a very calm tone about the situation he was facing, including his decision to go to war on his own initiative.
Song Shuwan listened and instantly fell into silence.
"Even so, if the merits and demerits are equal, the emperor will not punish the prince's crime, right?"
The God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty can't even receive this special treatment, right?
Pei Huan's eyes showed sarcasm: "The emperor has long wanted to take advantage of me."
Song Shuwan: "..."
After thinking about it, she pinched her eyebrows and said, "What about the Crown Prince? Does the Crown Prince have any plans or arrangements?"
Pei Huan didn't answer but asked: "What arrangements do you think I should make?"
The two people's eyes met, and Song Shuwan sighed: "Why do you need to ask this, Your Majesty? If there is no answer, I won't ask."
Just as he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
Song Shuwan and Pei Huan turned their heads at the same time. The next moment, the door was kicked open, and a group of people rushed into the house. The leader was Princess Taining.
"I knew you would come looking for her."
Princess Taining's angry eyes fell on Pei Huan, "What's so good about her that she can make you ignore your own safety?"
Song Shuwan was startled, what did Princess Taining mean by this?
She subconsciously looked to the side, only to see Pei Huan's expressionless face.
"Princess Taining, this is my business and has nothing to do with you."
"How come it has nothing to do with me? I want to save you, but she has become an obstacle for me to save you. Pei Huan, is it really worth losing your life for such a woman?"
The more Princess Taining spoke, the more annoyed she became, but her face remained somewhat calm, as if she didn't care about anything.
But none of the people present were fools. They could see what Princess Taining was thinking at a glance and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Pei Huan said: "Princess Taining, I said, this is my business, I don't need your intervention, and I will not marry you. Please stop pestering me."
"Pei Huan!"
Princess Taining shouted, rushed to Pei Huan in a few steps, and stretched out her hand to pull Pei Huan.
However, in the next moment, Pei Huan moved his steps and avoided her hand.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had become stagnant, Song Shuwan sighed secretly and said, "Princess Taining, you..."
"Shut up! Who allowed you to speak in front of this princess?"
Princess Taining scolded angrily, Song Shuwan's face changed slightly, and her eyes narrowed, thinking that her politeness to her would disappear in an instant.
"Does Princess Taining like stalking so much? I wonder if the emperor knows about this. Your majestic princess, for the sake of so-called love, doesn't even care about shame. I'm afraid it will be reported back to the capital..."
Before Song Shuwan could finish speaking, she saw a palm waving towards her. Just as she was about to dodge, another figure stood in front of her.
Princess Taining's raised hand was caught, and Pei Huan said coldly: "I have made my words very clear. If Princess Taining does this again, I will report it to the emperor."
Princess Taining opened her eyes wide, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
"Pei Huan, you have no feelings for me at all?"
Pei Huan shook off her hand: "I have made my attitude clear from the beginning. Princess Taining, I will give you face, and I hope you can take care of your own face."
At this point, the atmosphere in the entire room became deathly silent.
Princess Taining's eyes gradually turned red, and her body trembled uncontrollably: "Pei Huan, you have no heart!"
She dropped the words, turned around and ran away.
Pei Huan frowned, looked at the group of guards who were still on the spot, and said sternly: "What are you doing standing here? If you don't chase me, if something happens to the princess, how many of you have enough heads to chop off?"
