Silence fell in the hall, and Mrs. Xin Guogong staggered back two steps, murmuring something she wanted to say, but she didn't know what to say.
Time passed and Pei Huan lost his patience: "Why don't you say yes? Then stay in the Houfu."
As soon as the words fell, the two guards stepped forward and reached out to grab Mrs. Xinguo Gong.
At this moment, a "presumptuous" sound came out, and the Marquis strode into the hall and glared at Pei Huan.
"You are a guest when you come to your door, let alone your elder? How can you be so rude?"
Pei Huan's eyes flashed with ridicule: "An elder who drags the Marquis into the whirlpool?"
"No matter what, you should not be rude to your elders."
The Marquis noticed that something was wrong, but he still insisted on mentioning the elder status of Mrs. Xin Guo, not allowing Pei Huan to be rude.
Seeing this, Pei Huan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He turned around and asked Song Shuwan to follow him: "Go back to the courtyard."
Song Shuwan nodded and left with Pei Huan without even looking at the Marquis.
"You, stop for me!"
The Marquis was shouting from behind, but Song Shuwan pretended not to hear him.
After the two of them were far away from the hall, she said: "We have to send someone to Duke Xinguo's mansion to check the situation."
Pei Huan said calmly: "When the officers and soldiers left the mansion, some secret guards went to the Duke Xinguo's mansion. If nothing else happens, they will be back with news soon."
Song Shuwan was startled. She didn't notice that Pei Huan had already made arrangements so quickly.
"What are you thinking about?"
Song Shuwan came back to her senses, met Pei Huan's questioning eyes, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing."
Returning to the room, she checked Pei Huan's wound. Sure enough, the wound showed signs of cracking, and blood was even oozing from some places.
"Your Majesty, this wound..."
Song Shuwan paused after saying a few words. Pei Huan affected the wound because he was trying to save her. How could she say that?
Sighing secretly, Song Shuwan treated Pei Huan's wound without saying a word. As soon as she threw the bloody gauze into the basin, the secret guard who went to inquire about the news turned around.
"Yesterday, the Minister of War held a flower appreciation banquet. At the banquet, Zhong Rou talked about the background of the Crown Princess."
In one simple sentence, all the reasons are explained clearly.
Song Shuwan's face darkened. Zhong Rou was really courageous, but didn't she care about Duke Xinguo's mansion at all?
Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Huan, who was sitting on the bed, said, "It's just Zhong Rou's words that can't disturb Dali Temple. There must be something else going on."
The secret guard handed over his hand: "I haven't heard about the specific situation, but judging from the current news, it should be related to Prince Ning."
"Prince Ning?"
Song Shuwan's voice rose slightly, and she walked back and forth in the room anxiously, then turned around and said, "Why him again? What on earth does he want to do?"
Pei Huan shook his head and said solemnly: "I don't know what he wants to do, but judging from the current situation, we can't let him mess around any longer."
At first, Prince Ning was just annoying, but now he started to be cruel, so he had to find a way to deal with it.
Song Shuwan frowned and asked, "How can we make him peaceful?"
"Don't worry about this, I will take care of it..."
Before Pei Huan finished speaking, an announcement suddenly came from outside: "The imperial edict has arrived——"
The sharp voice was loud and loud, as if it could alarm the entire Dingyuan Houfu.
Song Shuwan and Pei Huan looked at each other and saw something bad in each other's eyes. The person who issued this imperial edict was not a good person.
Pei Huan clenched his fingers and said, "An Yi, take the imperial concubine immediately and leave through the back door."
As soon as An appeared, he said with an ugly face: "The secret guard at the back door came to report just now, saying that there were many officers and soldiers blocked there."
Song Shuwan took a deep breath, feeling cold in her heart: "Your Majesty, you are here well prepared."
Pei Huan rubbed his eyebrows: "Go to the front yard."
"No."
There was a sudden sound from outside, and then the closed door was kicked open. Song Shuwan and Pei Huan looked at the same time, and saw Jing Ming and Wen Yixiu, the leaders of the imperial army, standing outside the door.
As the two sides faced each other, Wen Yixiu raised the imperial edict in his hand: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come out and receive the edict."
Song Shuwan and Pei Huan exchanged glances again. One sat up from the bed, and the other pushed the wheelchair over.
"According to the emperor's edict, the prince of Dingyuan Houfu will now marry the daughter of the guilty minister. Thinking of it... Therefore, the net is wide open, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Song Shuwan is sent to the border area and sets off today, without any mistake!"
Song Shuwan's eyes dimmed, and she and Pei Huan saluted at the same time: "My wife (I) accepts the order."
Wen Yixiu put away the imperial edict and carefully handed it into Pei Huan's hands: "Your Majesty, this imperial edict represents the emperor's intention. Judging from the current situation in the capital, it is already the best situation."
Pei Huan held the imperial edict tightly and said calmly: "I know."
Wen Yixiu and Jing Ming exchanged glances. They did not linger, said goodbye, and left the Houfu.
There was silence in the courtyard. After a long time, Song Shuwan sighed, breaking the stalemate.
"It is indeed a good situation to be sent to the frontier, but the prince's side..."
Pei Huan raised his head slightly and said, "You leave first. I will catch up in less than two days."
Song Shuwan was startled: "The prince also wants to go to the border?"
"King Yong is at the border. Lin Yujun cannot listen to his orders. I have to go to the border, but my legs..."
Having said this, Pei Huan lowered his head, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes: "I hope you can find a way as soon as possible to let me... um!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly curled up.
Song Shuwan was startled: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
She quickly stepped forward, and as soon as she got closer, she saw the blood line on Pei Huan's face, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat: "The poison in the prince's body is about to take effect again."
Han Sanzhen left because the poison in Pei Huan's body could not be eliminated. Fortunately, it took a long time for the poison to appear, so Song Shuwan didn't pay much attention to the situation, but she didn't expect that the poison would suddenly attack.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Pei Huan bent down and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Enter the house."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and immediately pushed the wheelchair back to the house: "Your Majesty, I will give you acupuncture to relieve the pain."
Pei Huan closed his eyes: "After you tie me up, you can go out."
Song Shuwan's hand holding the golden needle paused, and after a while she nodded slightly: "I'll ask An Yi to help."
After a while, she and An Yi retreated outside the room.
The cold wind blew by, and Song Shuwan unconsciously wrapped her outer robe tightly.
When An saw this, he said softly: "Prince Concubine, do you want to go back to the house? There are subordinates here who can watch her."
Song Shuwan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "When he recovers, let me know."
After getting the answer, she returned to the room. During this period, Baicao and Feiyuan were not there, so Song Shuwan felt that her room was too empty, and she didn't know where Baicao and Feiyuan were now. How come they were always missing?
What about coming back?
An hour later, Song Shuwan saw Pei Huan: "Your Majesty, take this pill."
Pei Huan took the pill and said softly: "The imperial edict has been issued. It's time for you to go to the border."
Watching Pei Huan take the pill, Song Shuwan smiled: "Don't worry, I'll wait until Baicao and Feiyuan come back."
