Song Shuwan said nothing, she just looked at her fingers silently.
Xiang Jia, the former queen, the little princess...
One after another, although there was no action at the moment, Song Shuwan felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, as if these parties would cause something to happen at any time.
The little princess' affection for Pei Huan was too deep.
Song Shuwan closed her eyes for a long time before opening them: "An Yi, you said that if the little princess continues to target me, will the prince be able to protect me?"
An Yi was stunned: "Why did the Crown Princess say that?"
Song Shuwan turned her head and looked at him: "Do I need to say more about the young master's affection for the prince?"
An Yi was silent. Everyone in the capital knew about the little princess's affection for the prince.
"Prince Princess, you are overthinking. The little princess will not target you. Besides, even if she targets you, the Crown Prince will definitely be able to protect you."
Song Shuwan smiled, and the prerequisite for protecting her was that the emperor would not intervene, but after hearing so much and experiencing so much, she did not see the possibility that the emperor would not intervene.
Previously, she didn't know the cause and effect, and was caught off guard by the little princess, which ruined most of her reputation. But now that she knows the situation and understands the emperor's preference for the little princess, she is not so easy to deal with.
Little princess, let me see what other methods you can use.
Song Shuwan leaned back on the chair and waved An Yi away.
On the other side, after Song Shuwan left, Pei Huan asked the secret guard to deliver a letter to King Nanming. Within half an hour, the disguised King Nanming entered the Hou Mansion.
"What the prince told people to spread, is it true?"
Pei Huan nodded slightly: "The imperial concubine came into the palace to treat the Queen Mother. I heard it with my own ears."
King Nanming took a deep breath, and after the expression on his face changed several times, he took out an envelope from his arms: "I don't care what happens to the Xiang family, but this time, Xiang Boyun must die. This is what my people took out from the Xiang family.
I know that the Crown Prince is investigating the case of the Minister of Dali Temple a few years ago. In exchange, I want the Crown Prince to help me suppress the Queen Mother. As long as Xiang Boyun is beheaded, I will deliver this letter to the Crown Prince."
Pei Huan paused slightly, and his slightly hollow eyes fell on King Nanming: "King Nanming's men are quite powerful."
King Nanming smiled: "Everyone gets what he needs. Is the prince willing to make this exchange?"
Pei Huan was silent, unconsciously stroking his fingertips.
After a moment, he said: "A letter is not enough for me to take action. You must know that Xiang Boyun can be regarded as a single descendant of the third generation. Not to mention the Queen Mother, the emperor will probably take action. A simple letter will not work."
King Nanming clicked his tongue: "In addition to this letter, I also have an account book here. I got it from the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it is related to the Yan Yin case that year."
Hearing this, Pei Huan snorted coldly: "The prince is really good at pretending to be stupid."
King Nanming raised his lips: "Exchange?"
Pei Huan knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair: "Three days, I can hold it down for at most three days. If it exceeds three days, I will stop."
King Nanming's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he put down the letter in his hand: "Three days are enough."
"Dong dong dong——"
There was a sudden knock on the door, and several people in the room turned their heads at the same time. Pei Huan said, "Who?"
"It's me, I'm here to deliver medicine to the prince."
Pei Huan gave a signal and An San immediately went over to open the door.
"I've met the Crown Princess."
Song Shuwan raised her eyes and glanced across An San's face: "I'm here to deliver medicine to the Crown Prince. Is it convenient for the Crown Prince now?"
"convenient."
After the bold voice fell, King Nanming appeared in front of the door and said with a smile: "The Crown Princess really cares about the Crown Prince. Send the medicine in quickly. Don't let the medicine get cold."
Song Shuwan didn't expect that Prince Nanming was also there, so her fingers holding the tray tightened slightly: "The prince is here too, but are you here to discuss matters with the crown prince?"
"Yes, but the discussion has been completed. I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother you anymore and take my leave."
King Nanming said hello and left.
Song Shuwan watched him go away until his figure disappeared, then entered the door: "I didn't expect Prince Nanming to be here. I shouldn't have disturbed your conversation, right?"
Pei Huan said lightly: "No."
He took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Just as he was about to speak, a sharp pain suddenly surged up from the soles of his feet. Almost instantly, Pei Huan's waist bent down.
"You...what did you give me to drink?"
Pei Huan spoke intermittently. Song Shuwan squatted in front of him, looked at it for a moment, and put her fingertips on the man's wrist: "It's medicine to dredge meridians. I took some strong medicine. The prince's legs should feel better. Just bear with it."
, it’ll be fine in a while.”
Pei Huan gritted his teeth, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Not only did he feel something, he only felt like he was shaking all over. It was an uncontrollable severe pain.
I don't know how long it took for him to recover from the shaking and severe pain, and he fell into a wheelchair as if he was exhausted.
After a long while, Pei Huan said in a hoarse voice: "Before I give you the strong medicine, can you say hello to me first?"
Song Shuwan blinked and said innocently: "I thought the prince was prepared. After all, I won't send medicine for no reason."
Pei Huan: "..."
Although the tone of the person in front of him was innocent, he could hear a kind of joy.
Somehow, Pei Huan suddenly remembered that he had made Song Shuwan unhappy, and Song Shuwan had been very heavy-handed with acupuncture.
Could it be the same situation this time? The question is, where did he offend Song Shuwan again?
Pei Huan tightened his fingers slightly and asked directly: "Where did I offend you again?"
"again?"
Song Shuwan repeated his words and raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty, may you have misunderstood? I am treating you. What does it have to do with you provoking me?"
Pei Huan couldn't find a reason to elaborate, so he twitched the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, and decided to suppress the matters related to the Xiang family and the Song family case.
"What you are saying is that treating me has nothing to do with me provoking you."
Song Shuwan smiled, stood up and was about to leave, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the letter on the table: "Your Majesty, the letter on the table was brought by King Nanming?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "Yes, it is related to the Xiang family."
Song Shuwan paused: "Is the prince just leaving the letters related to the Xiang family in such a careless manner?"
"There are all my people around, so it doesn't matter if you just leave them like this."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan nodded and left with the tray: "There is another bowl of medicine tonight, I will deliver it myself."
In the evening, Song Shuwan watched Pei Huan drink the second bowl of medicine, checked the man's pulse and left.
Pei Huan was sweating profusely and leaning on the wheelchair, looking very embarrassed: "An San, bring hot water."
"yes."
Pei Huan listened to the sound of footsteps walking away, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his fingertips. That woman Song Shuwan was using the medicine more and more harshly, for fear of hurting him to death!
At this time, a question rang out: "Prince, are you okay?"
Pei Huan raised his head: "An Yi? What are you doing here?"
An Yi coughed lightly: "I'm here to see you, and I'll tell you something by the way."
Pei Huan pinched his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
