The carriage shook violently, and when the shaking ended, Song Shuwan was able to steady herself.
"Shi, Shi Princess, what's wrong?"
Ding Cun's face was full of panic, but in the next moment, Song Shuwan covered the boy's mouth and said softly: "Silence, the carriage has stopped. I'll go out and take a look. You stay here and don't move."
After saying that, Song Shuwan quickly got off the carriage. Not far away, more than a dozen corpses were lying on the ground. Two waves of people dressed in black were still fighting, and one of them was clearly at a disadvantage.
In an instant, one party of men in black was defeated, and the surviving party all looked at Song Shuwan beside the carriage.
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, and her clenched hands were filled with cold sweat. Are these survivors the enemy?
One of the men in black suddenly pulled down the black cloth on his face. Song Shuwan was surprised: "Ansan? Why are you here?"
An San bowed his hands and saluted: "My subordinates are ordered by the Crown Prince to protect the Crown Princess in secret."
Song Shuwan opened her mouth, but suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say. Pei Huan asked An San to follow her. It was said to be for protection, but in fact it was also a kind of surveillance, right?
She came back to her senses and said with a bit of coldness in her tone: "You are following, right? How long has Pei Huan sent people to follow me?"
An San lowered his eyes, a word stuck in his mouth, and he didn't dare to say it out.
Seeing this, Song Shuwan twitched her lips: "Okay, I will go find Pei Huan and find out."
After that, she returned to the carriage.
An San sighed secretly, this time it was really going to be over.
"Leave a few people to dispose of all the corpses, and the others will accompany me to escort the Crown Princess back to her home."
"yes!"
After entering the capital, Ding Cun found an excuse and ran away. Then the carriage rushed all the way back to the Marquis Mansion. By the time Song Shuwan saw Pei Huan, night had fallen.
"Your Majesty, should I explain why you placed surveillance people around me?"
Pei Huan tilted his head slightly: "It's protection."
"Protect?"
Song Shuwan repeated his words and almost laughed out loud: "Your Majesty is really eloquent!"
Pei Huan straightened his clothes and said calmly: "I'm not as good as the imperial concubine. She usually stays well in the capital. Why did she leave the city today?"
"Is there any problem with me leaving the city? I can't be in the eyes of the Crown Prince, and I don't even have the qualifications to leave the city, right?" Song Shuwan felt a surge of anger in her heart, and under the influence of it, her words were also full of thorns.
Pei Huan noticed the change and frowned instantly. Time passed in the silence. He asked coldly: "I won't care if you leave the city, but you ran more than ten miles away for no reason and met an assassin. You said,
Should I care?"
Song Shuwan stared at Pei Huan closely, and her angry mood suddenly calmed down. She was not a fool. When she heard Pei Huan's words, she knew that Pei Huan had inquired about the cause and effect before coming to see her.
No matter what the situation is today, the people from Pei Huan's faction saved her life after all, and it will do her no good to continue arguing.
Pei Huan listened carefully and saw that there was no movement for a long time, so he knew that Song Shuwan had figured out the key and was speechless.
After a moment, Song Shuwan said calmly: "When I left the city, I took Ding Cun with me to diagnose people's pulse. I don't know what the prince was thinking, but I have a clear conscience."
Putting down these words, Song Shuwan left directly.
An San walked out from the corner: "Your Majesty."
Pei Huan pinched his eyebrows and asked, "What happened to those assassins today?"
"It's the assassin from Hongfang. It looks like he wants to kill the Crown Princess, but my subordinates estimate that it's for you."
Pei Huan's face turned cold. He had been the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years, and he had offended many people openly and secretly. In the past, those people did not dare to offend, but now they are jumping out one after another.
"Your Majesty, are the people around the Crown Princess going to be transferred?"
Pei Huan raised his hand slightly: "Keep her here. She is running around here and there all day long. She doesn't like to stay in the Marquis' mansion. It's a good thing that some people will follow her."
An San held the tea and handed it over: "But my subordinates are very disgusted when they see the Crown Princess."
"It doesn't matter, this is my decision and she doesn't need to agree."
On the other side, Song Shuwan returned to the room: "Fei Yuan."
"The slave is here. Does the Crown Princess have something to give the slave?"
Fei Yuan ran forward with a smile and stared at Song Shuwan unblinkingly.
Song Shuwan looked at her, then suddenly picked up the tea cup at hand and smashed it on the ground: "Do you know that Pei Huan sent people to keep an eye on me in secret?"
There was a "bang" sound, and the tea cup splashed with the tea cup inside. Fei Yuan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he quickly knelt down: "This slave does know about this matter."
Song Shuwan looked at her condescendingly: "Since you know, why don't you tell me?"
Fei Yuan pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "Slave, I thought the Crown Princess knew about it, so I didn't mention it."
Song Shuwan sneered: "You think I knew it, so I didn't mention it? Feiyuan, do you think I, a three-year-old child, would believe this?"
Fei Yuan bit her lip and put her hands on her knees, not daring to say anything.
At this moment, Baicao pushed open the door and said eagerly: "Prince Concubine, something happened to Song Ren."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the situation in the room and couldn't help but be stunned: "Prince Princess, what's going on? But Fei Yuan did something wrong and made you unhappy?"
Song Shuwan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, everything was calm: "You just said that something happened to Song Ren? What happened?"
Baicao glanced at Feiyuan and told the situation truthfully.
During the day, after Song Shuwan took Ding Cun away, a group of people ran to Cunshan Hall, clamoring to see the Crown Princess.
Song Ren explained that the imperial concubine was not there, but the group of people did not believe it, and they started fighting while pushing. Song Ren accidentally injured a woman, and was seen by the imperial guards who just arrived, so he was picked up and thrown into prison.
"Prince Princess, I have always wanted to go in and see Song Ren, but the jailer said that only you can go in."
Song Shuwan's fingers suddenly tightened, all kinds of emotions surged, and there was a sudden noise from outside: "Miss Yue, Miss Yue, you can't break in. This is the courtyard of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess..."
"I know it's their courtyard, and it's because I know that I'm here. Get out of the way. I want to see the Crown Princess, and I want to see the Crown Princess now."
It's Yue Hong.
After Song Shuwan brought her back to the Hou Mansion, she placed her in the nearby courtyard and lived with Song Ren's family. She didn't expect to run to her today.
Thinking about it, Song Shuwan stood up and walked out of the room: "Miss Yue."
Those three words made Yue Hong's words stop abruptly. The next moment, Yue Hong pushed away the servant who was blocking her and trotted to Song Shuwan. Her eyes were red before she could speak.
After a long time, she choked and said: "Prince Concubine, my in-laws, my in-laws are innocent."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, but didn't say anything. She took Yue Hong's hand and entered the room: "Let's have a cup of tea. Let's talk after we calm down."
Yue Hong bit her lip and clasped her hands tightly: "Prince Princess, I..."
Song Shuwan shook her head and signaled her to calm down first.
After an unknown amount of time, Yue Hong finally calmed down. She took a deep breath and said, "Yan Yin was sent to the Yue family by King Yong."
