Song Huan couldn't help but walk out of the tent and looked at Pei Shen, who was standing outside, in surprise: "Did the Marquis only say this? Did he have any other instructions?"
Pei Shen bowed and said, "Madam, no."
Seeing Pei Shen's certainty, Song Huan pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Pei Yan is not a simple-minded person. He must have his reasons for doing this.
"Yeah... I understand."
Song Huan nodded slowly, and then asked Pei Shen, "Guard Pei Shen, do you know which one the Marquis likes the most?"
Pei Shen was stunned. This question really stumped him.
On ordinary days, who among them dared to see what cloak the Marquis was wearing...
"I don't know."
Pei Shen lowered his head and said, "Madam, do you want me to go to the central army tent and ask the master?"
"No need." Song Huan just asked casually. If Pei Shen knew Pei Yan's preferences, she would naturally help Pei Yan get his favorite one.
But it didn’t matter if Pei Shen didn’t know, she just picked one out of the many.
"Please ask Guard Pei Shen to wait for a moment. Once you have fetched the Marquis's cloak, I will go with you to the central army tent."
Pei Shen agreed, took a step back, and waited outside the tent with Qin Shi and Jin Liu.
Pei Yan's suitcase had been moved into Song Huan's tent long before.
She opened the box that contained only the cloaks and looked through them one by one.
Jinyue stayed beside her, and when she needed help to unfold her cloak, she stepped forward to help her.
At other times, remain silent.
This girl... is a little too quiet.
Song Huan looked at her deeply, then calmed down and picked out a cloak made of gray fox fur from the suitcase.
This one is very soft and warm.
Moreover, this piece of clothing is the lightest in Pei Yan's suitcase...it can barely match the moon-white color he is wearing.
Song Huan picked up his cloak with both hands and said to Jin Yue, "Let's go. Follow Pei Shen and his guards to the central army tent."
"Madam..." Jin Yue looked embarrassed when she heard that, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Song Huan looked at her quietly, "What's wrong?"
Could it be that this girl finally couldn't help herself and wanted to talk to her about her troubles?
Jin Yue bit her lip, her cheeks flushed red. "Can this servant... this servant not go to the central army tent?"
Song Huan raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
Jin Yue clasped her hands tightly, a layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, I don't... feel well."
Song Huan walked closer to Jin Yue and felt helpless when he saw her clenching her knuckles tightly due to nervousness.
This silly girl...
Forget it, it’s a matter between her and Pei Chen.
The troubles of growing up will always pass.
"Then go to bed early today."
Song Huan smiled and said softly, "Everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow morning."
"...I thank you, Madam." Jin Yue said with her eyes avoiding and lowered her head.
…
Song Huan held the cloak in both hands and was led by Pei Shen to the central military tent.
Qin Shi and Jin Liu followed behind her to protect her.
Song Huan... gradually got used to the days of being monitored whenever he went out. He would occasionally chat with them, trying to see if he could find out something about Pei Yan from them.
But no matter whether it was Pei Shen in the past or Qin Shijinliu now, they all kept their mouths shut.
No matter what Song Huan asked, they all answered "I don't know", "I can't tell you, Madam", "Please don't make things difficult for me, Madam"... It was simply the ancient version of the "three consecutive denials".
Knowing how tight-lipped they were, Song Huan decided not to bother himself any more.
There was no conversation along the way. After about two minutes, she finally saw the central army tent.
The lights in the tent were bright, and the guards outside were tight.
A row of soldiers holding guns stood outside the tent with solemn expressions, staring at everyone who passed by the tent with sharp eyes. No one dared to relax in the slightest.
Song Huanren hadn't even walked out of the tent when he felt a shock in his heart just by watching from afar.
But at the same time... my legs are still a little weak.
Don't blame her for being timid, blame it all for happening too suddenly.
She didn't know how many old generals were sitting in the tent. She had never seen any of them before. She couldn't show her weakness and embarrass Pei Yan.
Song Huan's palms couldn't help but sweat, but fortunately, the cloak covered them and no one could see.
When he got outside the tent, Song Huan stopped and waited.
Pei Shen took out the token from his body and handed it to the man guarding outside the tent for inspection. The man rubbed the token back and forth with his fingers twice, then nodded slightly and returned the token to Pei Shen.
But when his eyes fell on Song Huan, he frowned: "Did Madam bring the gray fox cloak as a gift to the Marquis?"
Song Huan nodded his chin lightly.
His expression was calm and composed, and he seemed unperturbed, but actually... he was extremely panicked inside.
The man then said, "Please, Madam, let us examine it."
Song Huan frowned: "..."
A piece of clothing still needs to go through security check?
Pei Shen's expression turned a little colder upon seeing this. "It was the Marquis' order to have Madam bring the cloak."
"If Brother Chen doesn't believe me, why don't you go into the tent and tell the Marquis?"
The man sneered softly upon hearing this, looking unmoved. "Brother Pei, we are just following orders. It's just a cloak, can't we inspect it?"
Pei Shen's expression darkened. "Brother Chen, what do you mean by that?"
The man said, "It means what it says."
The two were in a stalemate for a while.
Song Huan naturally understood after seeing this. This "Brother Chen" was probably not Pei Yan's man...
In fact, this cloak is not untestable.
But if this person is not Pei Yan's man, and she gives the cloak to him, who knows if he will tamper with the cloak?
"Qin Shi." Song Huan turned and called out, handing over the cloak in his hand, "Take it."
Qin Shi lowered his eyes to glance at the cloak, and instantly understood what Song Huan meant. He hurriedly took it and nodded in agreement.
With a lightness in his hands, Song Huan said to Pei Shen, "You don't have to bring the cloak into the tent. Don't get into trouble over such a small matter."
Pei Shen looked up, and his grip on the hilt of the sword suddenly loosened. "Yes, ma'am."
The man also looked at Song Huan in surprise, a glint in his eyes. But in the end, he did not stop them and let Song Huan and Pei Shen enter the first door.
The central army tent was much larger than the other tents, with two gates surrounded by fences. The "Brother Chen" was guarding the first gate.
Going further in, all you see are Pei Yan's people.
They knew Pei Shen and had already received instructions from Pei Yan, so they let Song Huan pass through the second gate without saying anything.
As for the people guarding on both sides of the curtain of the big tent, Song Huan felt that they looked familiar, as if he had seen them before in Fengyuan Town.
As expected, as soon as she walked in, the two men bowed to Song Huan and said, "Your subordinates greet the Madam."
Song Huan also responded politely, "Thank you for your hard work, both of you."
Two people: "..." Oh?
Madam, will you not be mean to them this time?
Song Huan naturally didn't know that when she was in Fengyuan Town, she left an indelible impression of ferocity in their hearts.
She gathered her strength, calmed herself, pursed her lips and smiled faintly, then lifted the curtain and entered the tent... Hmm? What the hell? Where were the others?
How come besides Pei Yan and the Fourth Prince, there are only two people who look like civil servants?
The smile on Song Huan's lips froze.
She thought she would hear something useful tonight. If she had known this would happen, she would not have come.
Pei Yanyan... humph. Go back and wait for him tonight.
"Huanhuan, here I come."
But at this moment, Pei Yan was completely unaware of Song Huan's emotions. After Song Huan sat down beside him, he even asked in a low voice, "Didn't Pei Shen tell you what I said?"
Did this guy call her here just to ask her to give him some clothes?
Song Huan bit his back of his teeth secretly, "Of course I told them. I just gave the cloak to Qin Shi and didn't bring it into the tent."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan frowned slightly, but quickly suppressed it.
The person guarding the first door outside the tent was a soldier sent by the royal family. Before Chu Xun came, that person acted on his own and did not obey the military orders.
Now that Chu Xun has arrived, he has become so arrogant that he is openly opposing him.
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Pei Yan's eyes. He was just a running dog sent by the royal family.
The reason they spared his life was simply because they were too lazy to replace him with another lackey. Did he really think that he would have the surname "Chu" in the future?
Pei Yan sneered in his heart. Since this dog was so blind as to seek death, he would just help him.
Thinking of this, the smile on Pei Yan's face became even warmer and more harmless, and he opened his mouth to apologize to the Fourth Prince.
"Tonight's banquet is for the Fourth Prince's rite of passage. Unfortunately, I am injured and cannot drink, so I have invited Lord Qin and Lord Li to accompany me."
"I hope the Fourth Prince will forgive me and not blame me for my poor hospitality. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." After saying that, Pei Yan took the lead in picking up the teacup.
"Marquis Pei's words are too serious."
Chu Xun raised his glass, sighed softly, and said with a hint of shame, "Speaking of this, I didn't know that Marquis Pei was injured that day. I was too reckless. I beg Marquis Pei not to blame me."
After saying this, Chu Xun drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Then he added, "This wine should be presented to Marquis Pei by this prince."
Seeing this, Pei Yan drank up the tea in the cup, and the smile in his eyes became even brighter.
He then said, "Since the Fourth Prince is so magnanimous, I can tell him about that matter without worry."
