Song Shuwan couldn't believe it. Yuanzhou City was not close to the capital, but it wasn't too far either. To raise troops in such a close place, wouldn't it mean rebellion? No, it involves foreign enemies, that is... treason!
The last two words came to mind, and Song Shuwan's body became uncontrollably stiff: "The Qingyun Mountain bandits are involved with the Tatars, so who are the people who use Qingyun Mountain to raise troops?"
In other words, under this premise, who would use Qingyun Mountain to raise troops?
Pei Huan said calmly: "The person behind the scenes is very hidden and has not been exposed yet."
Song Shuwan glanced at the man faintly, did she really not reveal her fault, or did she find it but didn't have enough evidence?
After a long silence, Song Shuwan stood up: "I don't care how many plans the prince has, but these things are not the reason why the prince refuses to detoxify."
The implication is that she needs a more convincing reason.
Pei Huan sighed: "I need to use the poison on my body to lure out the people hiding in the court."
Song Shuwan frowned: "If the news of the Crown Prince's poisoning cannot be spread, how can we attract people to take the bait? Wait, Crown Prince, what do you want to do?"
Pei Huan said with dark eyes: "If the poison is exposed in public, it will naturally attract some springtails."
Song Shuwan opened her mouth and counted the time. Pei Huan's third... No, it should be his fourth poisonous attack. There are still dozens of days left.
After some hesitation, Song Shuwan sat down at the table: "It's been half a month since the prince's fourth poisonous attack. Calculating time, there are still dozens of days to go. What is the prince planning to do during this time?"
"Only three days."
What?
Song Shuwan raised her eyes in surprise: "Only three days? What do you mean?"
Pei Huan said quietly: "The poison in my body is very strange, and the duration of the poison's onset has been shortening. After the second poison attack, only six days later, I had the third attack."
Song Shuwan felt her heart tightening. According to the time mentioned by Pei Huan, the time for the fourth attack was really not far away. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. It was obvious that Pei Huan and Tang Wan'er were poisoned by the same poison.
Why is Tang Wan'er's behavior so regular?
Wait, the so-called poison onset time was told by Tang Waner from the beginning. Why should she conclude that what Tang Waner said is true?
In other words, even if what Tang Wan'er said is true, based on Tang Wan'er's clear understanding of the onset time, would she really regard the poison as a poison?
All kinds of thoughts turned around quickly, and a thought suddenly appeared in Song Shuwan's mind: "Your Majesty, the master of Qingyun Mountain, have you caught him?"
She was asking about the head of Qingyun Mountain, not Ye Sanniang.
Pei Huan vaguely felt something was wrong: "There has been no news from the head of Qingyun Mountain."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan stood up and shouted: "Fei Yuan."
Fei Yuan rushed into the room: "What are your orders from the Crown Princess?"
Song Shuwan said sternly: "Bring Tang Wan'er here, immediately!"
Pei Huan turned his head slightly, turned his thoughts slightly, and quickly saw something unusual: "Don't you think that Tang Wan'er is the head of Qingyun Mountain?"
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and clenched her hands hanging by her legs slightly: "I don't know if she is the head of Qingyun Mountain, I just have a vague feeling that something is wrong with her."
The room fell into silence. After a while, Fei Yuan turned back from Lan Yuan: "Prince Concubine, the servants of Lan Yuan said that Tang Wan'er left Lan Yuan an hour ago and has never come back."
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows: "She has a secret guard arranged by me. Let's see if the secret guard left any news."
Surprise flashed across Song Shuwan's face. Someone was staring at Tang Wan'er. She thought that Pei Huan would just leave the person to her and ignore it.
Fei Yuan left again.
This time she left for a long time, and it was not until an hour later that she turned around with an ugly face: "The Crown Prince, Crown Princess, the secret guard who was staring at Tang Wan'er was killed."
Song Shuwan's expression changed slightly. Could it be that Tang Wan'er was really the master of Qingyun Mountain?
Pei Huan laughed angrily: "It seems that I really underestimated this woman."
If he can even kill secret guards, then Tang Wan'er has some real abilities. As a result, Tang Wan'er's identity is in doubt.
Thinking of this, Pei Huan called out a few secret guards: "Chase Tang Wan'er, life or death!"
Time passed three days later, and news suddenly came from Yuanzhou City to the capital, saying that Prince Pei had dealt with the bandits, but unfortunately he could not find a miracle doctor, so he decided to return to the capital in the near future.
When the people in the capital heard this, many of them looked regretful.
"Before Prince Pei left the capital, I thought there was a miracle doctor who could cure him. Unexpectedly, I didn't even find one."
"If you haven't found it, then you haven't found it. Prince Pei is blind and disabled. Couldn't he have also dealt with the Qingyun Mountain bandits over there?"
The people talked a lot about everything.
In the Hou Mansion, Song Shuwan had been paying attention to the public comments outside, and after making sure there were no abnormal changes, she went to look for Han Sanzhen.
Han Sanzhen was processing medicinal materials. As soon as he saw her, he knew something in his heart: "Are you here for Pei Huan again?"
Song Shuwan coughed lightly: "Isn't this the case that the crown prince was handed over to you from the very beginning? The crown prince said that he would postpone the detoxification. Do you know this?"
Han Sanzhen clapped his hands and put the medicinal materials in the yard to dry. He turned around and said, "I do know about this, but I want to ask your opinion. Are you sure it's okay to do this?"
Of course she felt there was something wrong, but it was Pei Huan who made such a choice, and even she could only step back.
Thinking of this, Song Shuwan sighed: "I know that the Crown Prince's behavior makes you very angry, but the Crown Prince has other plans for this matter, so..."
Han Sanzhen raised his hand to indicate that she didn't need to say any more: "The body belongs to him. No matter how much I say, I can't be his master. By the way, the man in Lanyuan ran away, right?"
Hearing him mention Tang Wan'er, Song Shuwan nodded: "Yes."
Han Sanzhen sneered: "It was because the poison was almost cured and I got the prescription, so I dared to run away, but it doesn't matter, she will come back soon."
Come back by yourself?
Song Shuwan heard the weirdness in it and asked quickly: "But what's wrong with that prescription?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Song Shuwan knew that she had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "Mr. Han, I'm really sorry. I wasn't doubting you. What I meant was..."
Han Sanzhen glanced at her: "There is no need to explain so much. There is no problem with the prescription. The problem is with Tang Waner."
After saying that, Han Sanzhen sat down on crutches: "Let's have a cup of tea."
Song Shuwan followed and sat down. The maid outside brought tea and left respectfully.
Han Sanzhen said: "Tang Wan'er has been poisoned for at least a year, and during the poisoning period, she has been tinkering with ways to detoxify, but she took the wrong path. After all the hard work, not only did she not get what she wanted, but she also...
The poison in her body keeps increasing, do you know what this means?"
Song Shuwan was silent and tightened her hand holding the cup: "This means that the poison of Soul Flower and Early Summer is difficult to detoxify, and the person who poisoned it also made other arrangements."
