"With all the envoys from various countries in the capital, how dare the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion dare to do something like this..."
As soon as the news about Dingyuan Marquis's concubinage spread, it caused an uproar in the entire capital, but within just an hour, the news reached the palace.
In the imperial study, several ministers were talking about this matter.
"Your Majesty, this matter is really ridiculous. The envoys from various countries have not yet left, and Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has done such a thing. It is such a disgrace to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"This matter must not be let go like this. Your Majesty, you must let the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion give an explanation to the people and to Dazhou."
One person's words gave the emperor a headache.
"Okay, this is a family matter of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Even if word spreads, it will only affect the face of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Don't involve the entire Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The emperor must not suppress this matter because of family matters. How can I, the Great Zhou, let those foreigners laugh at me?"
"Your Majesty, Dingyuan Hou Mansion must be severely punished."
The emperor listened for a long time and waved his hand for the minister to step down: "I know this matter well. You don't need to say more. Just step down."
"But……"
The minister was still unwilling, and the emperor angrily rebuked: "I said to stand down, didn't you hear me?"
Silence fell in the imperial study room. After a while, several ministers bowed and left.
The sullenness on the emperor's face disappeared, replaced by helplessness: "Xuan Pei Huan and Song Shuwan enter the palace."
He wanted to see how many people were involved behind this news.
Hou Mansion.
The corner of Pei Huan's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "So, you specially released the news to the outside world?"
Song Shuwan held a cup of tea and said calmly: "Is there any problem?"
Pei Huan: "..."
He wanted to ask a question in return, but he paused when the words reached his lips. After an unknown amount of time, he pressed his eyebrows and rubbed them a few times.
"Before you do this, you should tell me."
Song Shuwan smiled: "If you tell the prince, I'm afraid this matter won't happen."
Pei Huan sighed: "You are taking revenge on me."
"The prince was joking for no reason. Why should I take revenge on the prince?"
While the two were talking, the guards from outside ran into the room: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, someone has come from the palace, saying that the Emperor has announced that you two will enter the palace."
Song Shuwan glanced at Pei Huan, and the smile on her lips instantly deepened: "It seems that the emperor has also heard the news from outside. Prince, please."
Pei Huan was speechless and only raised his hand slightly to let An Yi push the wheelchair out.
Half an hour later, Song Shuwan and Pei Huan entered the imperial study.
"See the Emperor."
Across the imperial desk, the emperor looked at the two people below with deep eyes: "Today, a news spread in the capital. You two should know about it, right?"
Pei Huan coughed lightly: "If the emperor is talking about concubinage, I and my wife already know it."
The emperor said "Yes" and put the memorial in his hand aside: "Do you two know that as soon as the news spread, six ministers entered the palace and asked me to severely punish the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "I don't know, but this matter is indeed ridiculous. If the emperor wants to severely punish Dingyuan Hou Mansion, I will never say anything."
"What a perfect sentence!"
The emperor patted the imperial case hard, stood up and looked at him condescendingly: "Did you know that this news made Da Zhou a joke?"
Pei Huan said lightly: "The family affairs of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion are just a joke. It's just that the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion has become a joke. What does it have to do with the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
There was a little anger in the emperor's tone: "That's easy to say. Do those envoys think so?"
A cold look flashed in Pei Huan's eyes: "I don't care what those envoys think, but if the emperor cares about them, then I have a way to solve this problem."
Hearing this, the emperor's tone immediately became more relaxed: "Oh? What method?"
Pei Huan raised his eyes: "The emperor will know tomorrow."
Seeing this, the emperor didn't ask any more questions and just waved his hand for the two of them to leave.
On the carriage back home, Song Shuwan was still a little stunned: "The emperor let us leave so easily?"
Pei Huan glanced sideways: "Are you surprised?"
"It's not an accident. I just feel that the Emperor is going through too much trouble."
There was a smile in Pei Huan's eyes: "On the surface, it is indeed too much trouble, but when the minister enters the palace, the emperor must make some gestures."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and put her hands on her knees: "Prince Cai just said that there is a way to prevent the envoys from various countries from paying attention to this matter. I wonder what it is?"
Pei Huan smiled slightly: "You will know tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside.
"You Tatars just don't know what's good and want to kill us Beidi people here? I tell you, you are delusional, do it! If you don't save a few Tatars today, we will be called Beidi people in vain, kill!"
Song Shuwan was startled and subconsciously opened the car window. She saw two groups of bastards in front of them. One of them had a large number of people, so she directly pushed the other group to the ground and beat them. When the people around the Zhou Dynasty saw this, they retreated one after another.
"Oh my God, why are the envoys from Tatar and Beidi starting to fight?"
"I don't know. After these two parties met, they immediately started taking action. It's so scary."
"Spread out quickly, something will happen if you get too close!"
The people in Dazhou kept talking. As Song Shuwan watched, she suddenly smelled the smell of blood on the tip of her nose. After a brief pause, she closed the car window directly.
"Your Majesty, there is a death over there."
Pei Huan nodded lightly: "Wait until things over there are over before leaving."
Song Shuwan hummed, listening to the commotion outside, and suddenly asked: "The prince is not going to step in to take care of it? The anger between Tatar and Beidi will affect the armies of the two countries on the border, right?"
Pei Huan moved his fingers slightly: "Wouldn't this be better?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes met Pei Huan's, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little more enlightened.
"Today's events and the crown prince..."
Pei Huan closed his eyes: "I won't use such small means."
Small means?
Song Shuwan was stunned by Pei Huan's words. After reacting, she heard the coachman's voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the guards from the capital are here."
Pei Huan opened his eyes: "Push me down."
Song Shuwan glanced at him, and with the cooperation of the coachman, she pushed Pei Huan out of the carriage.
The moment he landed, some people recognized Pei Huan.
"Look, it's Prince Pei."
"Huh? Why does the Crown Prince appear here?"
"I don't know, but I saw that the carriage had been parked for a while, why did it come out now?"
In the midst of the discussion, Pei Huan met with the leader of the guard. After the Tatars and Beidi people were suppressed, he came to the front and said coldly: "We are fighting in public. Do you take the laws of the Zhou Dynasty to heart?"
A Tatar raised his head, with disdain flashing in his eyes: "Dazhou's laws? We Tatars, you can't control the laws of Dazhou. Let us go quickly, otherwise we Tatars will make you unable to eat and walk around, you
