Song Shuwan was listening to the conversation outside. As soon as she showed her head, she was stopped by An Yi: "Prince Princess, why are you here? Go back upstairs quickly. Li Xun is not a good person this time. Don't hurt you."
"As long as the prince is here, he doesn't dare to hurt me."
Song Shuwan replied, pushed An Yi away and left the inn.
At the same time, Li Xun's eyes also fell on her.
After a brief pause, Li Xun smiled and saluted: "I have met the Crown Princess."
"No need to be polite."
Song Shuwan said, and walked to stand behind Pei Huan: "It's so late at night, Taishou Li has brought so many people here, but it's scary."
The smile on Li Xun's face deepened: "The lower official is just here to invite the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince to stay at the Prefect's Mansion. He has no other intention."
"No intention?"
Song Shuwan repeated his words, but her face looked as if she didn't understand anything and was full of doubts: "If Taishou Li didn't have other intentions, why did he have to come to the door late at night and let me and my wife go to the Taishou Mansion?"
Li Xun explained seriously: "Some things have happened in Yuanzhou City recently. I wanted to be on the safe side, so I chose to visit late at night. I apologize for my rudeness."
Song Shuwan smiled and ignored Li Xun's explanation. Instead, she quickly caught the last sentence of his words and said: "It turns out that Li Taishou also knew that it was presumptuous to come to the door late at night. I also thought that this was something that belonged to Li Xun alone."
As for the way the governor treats guests, looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, there should be no other person like this, right?"
She said it so politely that the smile on Li Xun's face could barely stop.
"Prince Concubine, it's better for the Crown Prince to talk about tonight's matters, what do you think?"
Song Shuwan smiled, but if she looked carefully, the smile did not reach her eyes: "Prefect Li, do you think I shouldn't speak?"
Li Xun denied: "Xiaguan just feels that business is at hand, or..."
At this time, Pei Huan suddenly interrupted him: "I am a prince who can say anything. Does Li Taishou have any objections?"
Li Xun's face stiffened slightly: "I don't dare."
"The night is getting dark. Please retreat. Don't waste time here. After all, I will not follow you to the prefect's mansion."
Li Xun wanted to speak again, but Pei Huan had no idea of ​​continuing, so he waved his hand and asked An Yi to push the wheelchair and leave.
The next moment, the people brought by Li Xun gathered from all sides and surrounded Pei Huan and his party.
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows and asked, knowingly: "What does Prefect Li mean by this?"
Li Xun raised his eyebrows, and the smile that had been hanging on his face disappeared: "Prince Pei won't cooperate. Naturally, I will use the official's method to make you cooperate. Please."
Pei Huan knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair: "What if I still don't cooperate?"
"Then Your Majesty, don't blame your subordinates for being merciless."
Li Xun coldly put down a word and asked the people around him to take action.
Pei Huan chuckled: "Then let me see if your people can really make you merciless."
At this point, his expression turned cold instantly: "Kill them!"
Li Xun's face changed drastically, and he ran away after reacting. However, the secret guards were much faster than him, and they immediately grabbed Li Xun's collar and threw him back.
At the same time, the people brought by Li Xun were also cleaned up by the secret guards. Dark clouds drifted from nowhere and blocked the moonlight, making the smell of blood around them even stronger.
Pei Huanduan sat in a wheelchair and looked at Li Xun condescendingly: "Just now you said you would be merciless, but I see that the people you brought are not good enough."
Li Xun knelt on the ground and put on a flattering smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you were joking. I was just confused and didn't understand the situation. I offended Your Majesty, so please..."
"boom!"
An Yi suddenly took action and directly grabbed Li Xun's head and slammed it into the ground: "Stop talking nonsense, who sent you here?"
Li Xun was hit so dizzy that when he raised his head, he seemed to be in a trance: "Who, who sent me? I don't remember who it is, I, I..."
Hearing a "boom" sound, Li Xun fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
Song Shuwan looked at it silently. Before she could speak, Pei Huan said "splash wake up". The next moment, Li Xun was woken up by a large basin of water.
An Yi grabbed his head and slammed it on the ground: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Li Xun was confused for a while before he came to his senses: "No, no one came with me. I received the news and wanted to entertain the prince, so I came here. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
An Yi raised his head: "Your Majesty, can your subordinates take him away for interrogation?"
Pei Huan nodded: "Ask the person behind him."
"yes."
An Yi took Li Xun away.
Pei Huan tilted his head slightly: "What do you think of tonight's events?"
Song Shuwan twitched her lips: "I don't have any opinion, I'm just curious. Who can instigate a prefect and make him keep his mouth shut?"
Pei Huan smiled and said, "You should have already made a guess in your mind, tell me who it is?"
Song Shuwan pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to hear my answer?"
After receiving a positive answer, Song Shuwan uttered two words: "Prince Yong."
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think it's him?"
Song Shuwan said lightly: "Except for him, no one has such ability, and there is no need for others to confront the prince."
To put it bluntly, there is a reason. No one else has a reason. The only person who has a reason is the most likely.
Pei Huan's eyes flashed with admiration: "What you said is very good, but unfortunately you said it wrong."
I've mispoken?
Song Shuwan was stunned: "What did I say wrong?"
Pei Huan said: "Li Xun is not from King Yong."
Song Shuwan opened her eyes wide: "I said it wrong from the beginning? Whose person is he?"
"He belongs to the fourth prince."
Pei Huan's eyes were cold, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "If I guessed correctly, the fourth prince is in Yuanzhou City right now."
Song Shuwan narrowed her eyes and answered knowingly: "Prefect's Mansion."
The next moment, Pei Huan called An San inside: "Go to the prefect's mansion and see if the fourth prince is there."
"yes."
An San took the order and left, but it was already an hour later when he turned around: "The Crown Prince, Crown Princess, and the Fourth Prince are indeed in the Prefect's Mansion."
When the sky first appeared outside the house, Song Shuwan frowned: "Shouldn't the Fourth Prince stay in the capital? Why did he come to this Yuanzhou City?"
An San replied: "A month ago, the fourth prince received an errand in front of the emperor. He probably came to Yuanzhou City to take advantage of the situation."
Song Shuwan frowned even more. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by An Yi's voice: "Prince, Crown Princess, there is a result."
The next moment, An Yi entered the room and told the results of the interrogation one by one.
"Li Xun said that the fourth prince sent him here. As for how the fourth prince knew about the prince's arrival, he didn't know, but he had a letter in his hand, which was addressed to the fourth prince from the capital."
"Over there in the capital?"
Pei Huan repeated slowly, with a touch of interest in his eyes: "Bring the letter, I want to see who sent the letter here specifically."
