The room fell into silence. Song Shuwan looked at Princess Jingyang steadily, and after a long time she chuckled: "Then please tell me, princess, why you are here."
"You let Tong Xian go."
Song Shuwan was stunned, almost thinking she heard wrongly: "Princess, do you want to let Tong Xian go?"
Princess Jingyang nodded: "Tong Xian is indeed guilty, but the crime does not lead to death. Pei Huan is not in Yuanzhou City now. As his eldest concubine, you have the final say. Pei Huan's people will release him."
Song Shuwan smiled. She opened her mouth several times but found that nothing could be said: "Princess, does she know what crime Tong Xian has committed?"
"It's just some minor issues of corruption and bribery. If the prince doesn't pursue them, he can just change his ways..."
"Snapped!"
Song Shuwan patted the armrest and stood up, looking down at Princess Jingyang: "Does the princess really know what crime Tong Xian committed? Or is it that someone deceived the princess and caused her to misunderstand?"
Having said this, Song Shu glanced at Princess Huayang with a pointed look, and the latter's expression changed instantly.
"The Crown Princess wants to tell you if you have a problem with me. It would be ridiculous to be secretive."
Song Shuwan smiled and ignored Princess Huayang. Most of her attention was on Princess Jingyang, and the rest was on Liu Shu. She didn't understand the person who asked the key question from Tong Xian.
, why do you want to accompany Princess Jingyang and Princess Huayang to come here and have a hard time.
In the silence, Princess Jingyang stood up: "Prince Princess, I know you have some misunderstandings about Tong Xian, but he has been the prefect of Yuanzhou City for many years, and he..."
Song Shuwan could no longer hold back and interrupted Princess Jingyang: "When the princess said this, did she ask Mrs. Liu what she thought?"
Princess Jingyang was stunned and turned her head subconsciously: "Mrs. Liu..."
Liu Shu slowly raised her head, as if she had just noticed where she was, and said calmly: "My wife has no objection to what the princess said. As for how to arrange the future affairs, everything depends on the princess and the princess."
At this point in her words, Princess Jingyang snorted coldly and pointed the finger at Song Shuwan: "I know that you have concerns in your heart, but your concerns are nothing in front of me. How about letting her go?"
Song Shuwan was speechless and stared at Princess Jingyang for a long time. It wasn't until she felt uncomfortable being looked at that she withdrew her gaze and spoke slowly: "The princess has said so much, but she has been avoiding one question for no reason, why do you want to save the child?"
Where is it now?"
"Unprovoked? This princess never does things for no reason. Don't ask me any more questions. Just listen to my instructions."
Song Shuwan curled her lips: "What if I don't obey the princess's instructions?"
Princess Jingyang's face turned cold instantly: "Do you want to resist the decree?"
"Resist the decree?"
Song Shuwan repeated her words, walked slowly to Princess Jingyang, stood still and said with a smile: "Princess, do you still remember why you appeared in this Yuanzhou City?"
Princess Jingyang paused, with a dangerous look in her eyes: "Are you warning me?"
Song Shuwan shook her head: "This is not a warning, but a reminder. Your Highness, the Emperor and the Queen Mother have spent so much effort to send you here so that you can keep a low profile and not act like a princess here."
Her words were very rude and directly made Princess Jingyang's face darken.
Princess Jingyang said coldly: "Even if I am not in the capital, I am still a born princess. Do you think that everyone is like you and can only be a relative of Duke Xinguo?"
The smile on Song Shuwan's lips deepened: "Is the princess angry because of embarrassment?"
"This princess..."
Song Shuwan put her hand on her shoulder, and with just a little force, Princess Jingyang was speechless: "I don't know who asked the princess to take the lead, but Tong Xian's sin is extremely great. If you really want to save him, then...
Wait here until the prince comes back and let the prince make a decision."
Having said this, Song Shuwan raised her voice: "Baicao, ask the innkeeper to open three upper rooms and invite these three people to stay for one night."
Baicao responded, pushed the door open after a moment, and said respectfully: "The room is ready, please come with the three servants."
Princess Jingyang glanced at Baicao: "Let you go? Who do you think you are? Song Shuwan, today you must..."
With a "镪" sound, Baicao pulled out a soft sword from nowhere and quickly and accurately placed it on Princess Jingyang's neck.
Princess Huayang suddenly screamed: "Song Shuwan, that is the princess, how dare you let your maid disrespect the princess?"
Song Shuwan smiled: "Did my maid disrespect the princess? Why didn't I see it? Madam Liu, did you see it?"
Liu Shu followed and laughed: "My wife has bad eyesight and didn't see anything."
After that, she got up and walked to the door: "Where is the room? I'm a little tired and I just want to take a rest."
Baicao tilted her head slightly and said, "The shopkeeper is waiting on the other side of the stairs. Mrs. Liu can go first."
Hearing this, Liu Shu did not stay and left directly.
The commander of Huayang County wanted to say something, but when he saw Baicao's expression was cold and the sword in his hand didn't seem to waver at all, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.
After a while, Song Shuwan waved her hand: "Okay, this is the princess after all, just ask her to go to the room."
"yes."
Baicao put away her soft sword and made a respectful gesture of invitation: "Your Highnesses, please come with me."
This time, neither Princess Jingyang nor Princess Huayang said anything, and followed Baicao away without saying a word.
Looking at the closed door, Song Shuwan couldn't help pinching her eyebrows. Just after Pei Huan left, something like this happened, saying that no one was behind the plan. She didn't believe it. The question was who would come to Princess Jingyang at this time.
Woolen cloth?
After thinking for a long time, Song Shuwan couldn't come up with a result, so she could only call Fei Yuan: "Go find An San and ask An San to send more people to keep an eye on Tong Xian. No one is allowed to approach without the prince's instructions."
"yes."
Fei Yuan bowed and left.
Song Shuwan sat in the room for a while, then got up and went to see Nia Niao. As soon as she returned to the room, the door was knocked again.
"Prince Princess, it's me."
Liu Shu's voice came into the room, and Song Shuwan paused and invited the person in.
In the silence, Liu Shu sighed: "The Crown Princess thinks what happened today is inexplicable?"
Song Shuwan twitched the corners of her lips: "The choices Madam Liu makes always have Madam Liu's reasons."
Liu Shu sighed again: "The Crown Princess is angry."
Song Shuwan was speechless, but Liu Shu continued speaking after a pause.
"But tonight, I have no choice but to come here. Has the Crown Princess seen this token?"
Liu Shu took out a black iron token from her arms, with the word "red" written on it. She didn't know what was used. Song Shuwan saw that the word "red" seemed to have a vague and inexplicable sense of depth.
Red? Is it Hongfang?
After changing her mind, Song Shuwan said uncertainly: "Is this token from Hongfang?"
