The sound of water coming from somewhere broke the deadlock in the room. Song Shuwan tightened her fingers slightly and was about to speak when she heard a "bang" and one of the kneeling servants outside fell down.
The next moment, a secret guard dragged the fallen servant away.
When the remaining servants saw this, their throats moved unconsciously, and another one fell. Will they fall too? But they don't want to die, they don't want to die.
The servant woman on the left edge clenched her fingers and crawled forward on her knees: "Your Majesty, I said, I will tell you... Half a month ago, the Marquis called all the servants of the Marquis to the front yard, and said something, Hou.
As for who the master of the palace is, the servants and others thought that you were not around at that time, so they cooperated a little bit."
"However, I have absolutely no intention of betraying you. I ask the Crown Prince to go around me once. I won't dare to do it anymore. I will never dare to do it again."
Pei Huan tilted his head slightly and said nothing.
As time passed, the servant woman's pleas for mercy gradually became smaller and smaller, until they finally disappeared.
Song Shuwan originally thought that the servant woman was begging for mercy and became desperate when she received no response, but a secret guard came forward and let her know that the servant woman was unconscious like the previous one.
The weather at the end of July was already deadly hot, and I had been kneeling in the courtyard for so long, how could I not collapse?
"If the prince is angry, he can attack me. Why bother some servants?"
Pei Huan raised his eyes, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "Do you think I'm targeting you by making these servants kneel?"
"The Crown Prince first sent someone to keep an eye on me, and then told the story about the little princess going to Xinguo Duke's Mansion. The two are involved, isn't he targeting me?" Song Shuwan stared at Pei Huan, and the regret and guilt in her heart turned into anger.
, even the tone of speaking was affected.
Pei Huan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "I am indeed angry, but I am not incapable of angering others because of your fault. Do you know that the two of us have been away from Beijing for a few months, and Qingfengyuan has become someone else's property?"
Qingfengyuan?"
Song Shuwan paused and murmured again: "Qingfengyuan, has it become the Qingfengyuan for others?"
At this time, a figure quietly appeared, it was An Yi who had been injured before and came to Song Shuwan's side.
An Yi whispered: "During the time when you and the Crown Prince left, the Marquis has been replacing the people in Qingfeng Courtyard. All the old people have been sent away. It is also because of this that your whereabouts...are exposed.
.”
When Song Shuwan heard this, she suddenly realized that Pei Huan had indeed sent people around her, but those people had not had a high sense of presence in the past. Like today, all her actions were revealed by Pei Huan.
once.
"The Crown Prince knows about my behavior because... people in the courtyard exposed my whereabouts."
Pei Huan snorted: "Talk too much!"
An Yi lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Song Shuwan moved her lips and for a long time only uttered three words: "I'm sorry."
Pei Huan said coldly: "I can't bear your apology. Someone, please suppress all these servants."
"yes."
The guards from the courtyard came out and dragged the still conscious servant girl away.
Song Shuwan stood there and waited for the secret guards to retreat before speaking again: "I went to Duke Xin's Mansion today to get back things related to the Song family."
Seeing that Pei Huan was speechless, Song Shuwan pursed her lips and continued to explain: "The prince got a letter earlier, and Tao'er brought a jade pendant, so I thought... The Duke of Xinguo's mansion should also have left some of the Song family.
s things."
She explained the cause and effect again, pinching her fingertips into the tender flesh of her palm: "But I don't know that the emperor will pass on that decree. I don't understand how the emperor can allow the little princess to leave the palace and go to the Duke Xinguo's mansion to recuperate.
?”
No matter how you say this, it is unjustifiable and makes no sense at all.
Pei Huan sighed secretly. He knew Song Shuwan was anxious. He could only say that today's situation was the worst possible situation caused by various circumstances.
"The little princess now has a very good relationship with Zhong Rou. If she asks, the emperor will naturally allow her. And who is Zhong Rou's husband? I don't need to say more, right?"
Song Shuwan was slightly startled. Speaking of which, there was really no need to say more. The little princess took the initiative to go to Duke Xinguo's mansion, and with the emperor's pampering attitude towards her, he would naturally let her go.
As for her relationship with Zhong Rou... Song Shuwan smiled bitterly. The little princess still had feelings for Pei Huan, so she wanted to find a breakthrough from Zhong Rou. To put it bluntly, she just wanted to deal with her.
"Your Majesty, what happened today..."
"I will deal with it, but I hope this is the last time. In addition, you should not move around again in the near future. The news from those servants can easily put you in danger."
Song Shuwan agreed and said softly: "I'll be in trouble for the Crown Prince later."
After leaving a message, she turned and left.
Pei Huan sat alone in a wheelchair and rubbed his eyebrows for a long time: "Dark Three."
An San appeared from the darkness: "Please give me your instructions, Prince."
"Take my token and go to the general's mansion and tell General Zhen..."
Pei Huan gave some instructions in a low voice, and An San quickly left.
On the other side, Song Shuwan returned to the room, saw the box on the table, and suddenly lost her previous interest.
Baicao brought tea with a bit of worry in her eyebrows: "Is the Crown Princess worried about what the Crown Prince said earlier?"
Song Shuwan took the tea and whispered: "No, I was just wondering if I was too arrogant."
Baicao was confused: "What does the Crown Princess mean by this?"
Song Shuwan took a sip of tea. She had always thought that Qingfeng Courtyard was safe, and the trip to Mingzhou City went so smoothly that she forgot about her situation and even wrote back to the Duke's Mansion in a very arrogant and wanton way.
But in the past, she was not like this. She had always been cautious in her words and actions, fearing that a slight change would affect the arrangement. But now, her words and deeds were filled with inexplicable arrogance, so much so that Pei Huan even said it clearly.
, she just reacted.
Putting her thoughts away, Song Shuwan raised the corners of her lips: "It's nothing. I'll just listen to the prince and don't go out these days. As for Qingfengyuan... The prince has dealt with it today. Those servants and wives with problems must not be able to stay. You just stare at it."
Just give me some, don't interfere, oh, it's really hot in this room, go get some ice cubes."
Baicao nodded, turned around and came back with the ice cubes.
The next day, Song Shuwan was doing acupuncture for Pei Huan when she saw An San entering: "Your Majesty, General Zhen came to the palace to plead for his daughter. He was... beaten by the emperor a hundred times and was just carried back to the general's palace."
Song Shuwan's hand holding the golden needle paused, her eyebrows filled with shock: "The Emperor beats General Zhen hard? Your Majesty, this..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly noticed that the expression on Pei Huan's face was very ugly, and she couldn't help but paused. Was he beating General Zhen on Emperor Qi?
After a long while, Pei Huan sneered: "The emperor is really confused about the little princess. How is General Zhen doing now?"
