"Thanks to the Fifth Prince's concern, I have been doing well recently."
Pei Huanyang replied in a loud voice, looked at the aristocratic young man entering the room, and waved his hand to let someone bring him tea.
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes: "I have met His Highness."
She had previously disguised herself with Baicao, but now in the eyes of the Fifth Prince and others, she was just an ordinary servant. After bowing, she stepped aside with a low eyebrow.
The fifth prince didn't care. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "Knowing that Prince Pei is doing well these days, I feel at ease."
Pei Huan smiled and chatted with the fifth prince casually. When someone brought tea, he dismissed everyone in the room.
Song Shuwan followed the guards and left. When she turned around and closed the door, she heard the fifth prince ask: "There is news from outside that Prince Pei's leg has healed. Is it true or not?"
The door was closed, blocking out the sounds in the room.
Song Shuwan took back her hand and turned around to walk to her room. Unexpectedly, before she could take two steps, she was stopped by two strangers, who were the guards brought by the fifth prince.
"I wonder what you two mean by this?"
She asked in a deliberately loud voice.
One of the guards said: "No one is allowed to leave until His Highness comes out."
As soon as these words came out, Song Shuwan frowned, but she did not argue with the two guards in front of her, but stood there without saying a word.
Not long after, An San came over. Seeing the situation at the door, his eyes changed a bit: "What are you doing standing here, little boy? There is a shortage of manpower in the kitchen, why don't you go over and take a look?"
Song Shuwan lowered her head: "Yes, I will go over here."
The two guards exchanged glances and said before: "She can't leave. No one can leave until the people in the room come out."
An San sneered: "You can't leave just because you said you can't leave? What do you think this is? Ignore them and go directly to the kitchen."
Song Shuwan nodded in agreement, turned around and strode away.
The two guards tried to stop him, but were stopped by An San.
An San said: "There are many things going on at the inn. If you two delay the arrangements of the inn and anger the prince, can you afford this responsibility?"
Both guards' bodies froze, and their expressions showed displeasure.
"Even if there are arrangements here, the safety of His Royal Highness should be the top priority."
"Exactly, the two of us are here just in case."
An San said nonchalantly: "With Lin Yujun here, we really don't need you in this station just in case."
On the other side, Song Shuwan walked away quickly. After passing the corner, she looked back and frowned instantly.
The fifth prince would not even trap his servants for no reason. Could he... want to do harm to Pei Huan?
The more Song Shuwan thought about it, the more likely she felt that this was possible, so she hurriedly ran to Han Sanzhen, and with the help of Han Sanzhen, the disfigurement on her face was washed away.
Han Sanzhen looked up and down and asked: "You are so disguised, but something happened at the inn?"
"A fifth prince has come to the capital and is talking to the crown prince."
"Fifth prince? Sent by the emperor? It's really interesting. He should know that Ningyuan City looks peaceful, but is actually full of dangers. Under such circumstances, he dares to send the prince here. Is this to kill the fifth prince?"
Song Shuwan couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "A few days ago, two letters were sent from the capital, both of which urged the prince to return to the capital. The fifth prince came here this time for this matter."
Han Sanzhen chuckled: "Is the emperor going to abandon Ningyuan City? Apart from Pei Huan, I really can't think of anyone else in Zhou Dynasty who can completely guard the border."
Song Shuwan was speechless, and she didn't expect it, but the current situation was that the fifth prince sent by the emperor to urge him had arrived, and it would be difficult for Pei Huan to stay.
"Stop talking about this, I'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, Song Shuwan strode back.
Han Sanzhen looked at her figure and couldn't help but shake his head: "It's not too hard to walk back and forth."
Song Shuwan didn't know what he said. After turning around as fast as possible, she faced the fifth prince again: "My wife has met the fifth prince."
The fifth prince raised his hand slightly and smiled very gently: "Prince Pei, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly."
Song Shuwan smiled and sat down next to Pei Huan.
She thought she could hear some content of the conversation, but unexpectedly, Pei Huan and the fifth prince kept chatting. Until it was finally over and the fifth prince left, she didn't hear any useful news.
Feeling strange in her heart, she met Pei Huan's eyes and couldn't help but ask: "Why does the prince keep staring at me?"
Pei Huan said softly: "Why are you back again?"
Song Shuwan was about to answer when she suddenly heard screams coming from outside and couldn't help but get up and go out to check.
The next moment, she was stopped.
Pei Huan said: "There is no need to check."
Song Shuwan frowned and turned around: "Why?"
"Squeak——"
The door was pushed open, and An San entered the room with an ugly expression: "Your Majesty, the guards who were around just now were all killed by the fifth prince's men."
Song Shuwan took a breath: "Why did the fifth prince kill so many people?"
Pei Huan took over the words: "He wants to keep the news from being exposed."
"The news will not be disclosed?"
Song Shuwan said it was difficult, and she could not control the chills on her back. If she had not left with the help of the dark third person just now, would she also have fallen now?
Pei Huan's eyes were cold: "No one knows about the arrival of the fifth prince in Ningyuan City yet."
Song Shuwan opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say.
After a brief silence, she left silently. Several corpses fell outside the door, all of them were the guard boys who had been standing around before. However, at this time, they were all silent.
Back in the house, Baicao and Feiyuan came forward very anxiously.
Baicao asked: "Why is the disguise on the Crown Prince's face gone? I heard that many people died in front of the Crown Prince's door, but..."
Song Shuwan glanced at her, and Baicao immediately stopped talking.
A few moments later, Song Shuwan said softly: "It is true that many people died in front of the prince's door, but they did not involve me."
After thinking about it, she looked at Fei Yuan: "Fei Yuan, can you follow the fifth prince?"
"Fifth prince? He is in Ningyuan City?"
Fei Yuan was a little confused. After reacting, she immediately patted her heart and said, "I have a solution. The Crown Princess just waits."
After that, she left directly.
Baicao looked away, her eyes full of worry, but she hesitated several times.
Song Shuwan rubbed her eyebrows: "I know what you want to say, but it's not necessary. I want to rest for a while."
Baicao bowed and left.
In the evening, An San appeared in front of Song Shuwan with a guilty look on his face: "This subordinate has met the Crown Princess."
Song Shuwan glanced at him and understood the situation almost instantly.
"What else does the prince want to do?"
"Ahem, the prince didn't want to do anything. He just couldn't stay in the city for these two days and asked his subordinates to come over..."
Song Shuwan's expression suddenly changed: "His legs haven't been cured yet, how dare he walk around?"
An San said carefully: "The fifth prince invited me, and the prince had to leave."
