Song Shuwan was about to ask further questions when the sound of rolling wooden wheels suddenly came from behind. The familiar sound made her turn around subconsciously. When she saw Pei Huan, she frowned unconsciously. Wasn't the man dealing with the matter of the master of Hongfang? Why at this time?
coming?
"I've met the crown prince."
Wen Yixiu bowed with his hands in hand.
Pei Huan said "hmm" and asked, "How did Bowen come here?"
Wen Yixiu smiled slightly: "I'm bored in the capital, so I came here for a walk."
"I see."
Pei Huan nodded and turned his eyes slightly: "It's time to go back."
Song Shuwan and Wen Yixiu left Pei Huan.
On the way, Pei Huan suddenly asked: "What did Bowen say to you?"
Song Shuwan was walking next to the wheelchair and replied after hearing this: "I was surprised that he would come here, so I asked a few questions."
"Based on Bowen's reputation, he really shouldn't be here, but there's nothing wrong with him, it's just whether he shows up or not."
Song Shuwan was noncommittal. Soon, the two of them arrived at the river. The boat crossing the river had been waiting for a long time.
Song Shuwan looked at the water and suddenly said: "Why did the prince want to deal with Hongfang today and take me with him?"
Pei Huan smiled slightly: "Why do you think?"
Song Shuwan didn't know the reason. She didn't have much involvement with Hongfang. Besides, the reason why Pei Huan took action this time was still related to Qingyun Mountain.
Unless there is someone or something related to her on Qingyun Mountain?
Thinking of this, Song Shuwan looked at Pei Huan: "Is there anything related to me on Qingyun Mountain?"
In the silence, Pei Huan knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair: "When you were young, was there a boy named Asang around you?"
Ah Sang? A very unfamiliar name.
Song Shuwan frowned: "I don't remember that there was a boy named Asang around me."
Pei Huan asked: "Do you not remember, or do you not want to remember?"
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and suddenly had some clarity in her heart: "The prince is doubting me?"
Pei Huan said nothing, but silence already represented the answer.
Song Shuwan opened her mouth, but suddenly she didn't know what to say. Because Pei Huan had never told her about the relevant arrangements, she had no idea what happened on Qingyun Mountain when Pei Huan suppressed the bandits.
Moreover, she really had no impression of the boy named Asang by Pei Huan.
As time passed, Song Shuwan pinched her eyebrows and truthfully revealed her thoughts: "Why does the prince think that I am related to the matter in Qingyun Mountain? Is it because of the boy named Asang? But I really have no impression of this person."
Having said this, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, with only the sound of the surging water. The boatman on the boat lowered his head, minimizing his own presence.
After a long while, Pei Huan said: "Go back to the Marquis Mansion."
Song Shuwan clenched her fingers. It was Pei Huan who mentioned the words. What does it mean that she paused mid-sentence?
"Your Majesty..."
"Let's talk about it after we go back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Song Shuwan was interrupted. She looked at the man, and finally just pulled the corner of her lower lip, and then got on the boat.
On the way back to the Hou Mansion, the two of them were silent.
It wasn't until he got off the carriage that Pei Huan said: "You can just stay in the Marquis' Mansion for the past two days. We will talk about the rest after the team from Yuanzhou City comes back."
Then, the two separated.
Two days later, Song Shuwan stayed in the Hou Mansion and did not go out as Pei Huan said. Even when Zhen Yuan came, she refused the invitation because there was something going on in the house.
Under such circumstances, the team from Yuanzhou City turned around.
In the afternoon of the same day, Pei Huan entered the palace from the Marquis Mansion. I don't know what he said to the emperor, but the emperor turned around and issued an imperial edict to deal with all people related to Qingyun Mountain.
That's right, Pei Huan gave a list of officials in the imperial court who were related to Qingyun Mountain. In just two days, dozens of officials were imprisoned. When the people in the capital learned about this, they were all frightened.
Not easy.
"I also said that Prince Pei went to Yuanzhou City this time just to treat his leg. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to investigate the case. So many officials have been imprisoned. Can they still survive?"
"Others are handling the case, and those who have been imprisoned may survive. But when Prince Pei handles the case, I'm afraid no one will be able to stay."
"My God, isn't Prince Pei the Living King of Hell? Since he returned to Beijing, many officials in the court have been killed."
"It's too cruel. Prince Pei is really too cruel."
The people in the capital were talking a lot. Some were happy about Pei Huan's behavior, but most were frightened. They felt that the cases Pei Huan handled were too bloody. For a while, many people changed their views on Pei Huan, which also affected
Pei Huan's reputation was such that the ministers directly impeached Pei Huan in the morning court.
Zhen Yuan came to visit the Marquis Mansion and told the story.
Song Shuwan listened and was speechless for a long time.
Zhen Yuan was quite surprised when he saw this: "Concubine, your eldest son's reputation has been half ruined. Don't you feel the same?"
Song Shuwan said lightly: "How should I feel? Even if I want to interfere in his affairs, I can't do much. What's more, he should be well aware of the current situation."
"You should be aware of it?"
Zhen Yuan repeated this sentence, feeling a little weird in his heart. Under what circumstances can the person next to him say this sentence that he knows well?
She looked around and lowered her voice and said, "Prince Concubine, is it because the Crown Prince is deliberately letting loose the remarks in the capital now?"
Is it specifically laissez-faire?
Song Shuwan frowned slightly, shook her head slightly and said: "He won't let this matter go, but I think he should have a way to solve the current situation. Okay, let's not talk about this matter. You came to the Marquis Mansion today, and it's
What did you come for?"
When mentioning this matter, Zhen Yuan smiled: "I heard that the little princess came to visit the Hou Mansion a few days ago?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "Why, what did the little princess say in front of the noble ladies in the capital?"
"Not just in front of the noble ladies in the capital? Even the wives of each family knew about it. She said that she was feeling unwell and made a special trip to the Marquis Palace, but the Crown Princess only asked her to go back to the palace to copy Buddhist scriptures, and she still wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures.
The Buddhist scriptures were beneficial to her, and everyone who heard them was shocked. They felt that the words the Crown Princess said were too ridiculous, and that the Crown Princess was still remembering the past and deliberately tormenting the little princess."
At this point, the curve of Zhen Yuan's mouth gradually deepened: "But in my opinion, the Crown Princess never talks nonsense, so this copying of Buddhist scriptures should be true, right?"
Song Shuwan sighed, helplessness flashing across her face: "I did ask her to copy Buddhist scriptures. That's because her heart disease did not attack at all. Her so-called chest tightness, shortness of breath, and physical discomfort were just prevarications."
A dark light flashed in Zhen Yuan's eyes, and he picked up the tea cup next to him: "In other words, the little princess's heart disease is now stable?"
Song Shuwan narrowed her eyes slightly: "Miss Zhen seems to be very concerned about the little princess's health?"
