When Xiao Heng was stared at by Fei Wan like this, he felt as if he was seen through.
Very strange,
Ever since Fei Wan woke up, Xiao Heng discovered that Fei Wan was different in some ways.
However, Xiao Heng couldn't tell what was different from before. He felt guilty and didn't think about it anymore.
He coughed and said, "In that case, you can rest and recuperate. If there is anything you need, just tell the people below to bring it to you."
Xiao Heng did not stay in the hall for too long. Fei Wan only spoke to him briefly. Not long after, the eunuch beside him came in to report.
"Your Majesty, several gentlemen are waiting in the Imperial Study."
As the eunuch spoke, he observed Fei Wan's expression, fearing that he would displease Fei Wan.
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Heng's face faded.
Fei Wan looked at him. She was very generous and didn't ask any more questions. "Since you have government affairs to attend to, Ah Heng can go and handle them first. You don't have to worry about me."
Xiao Heng nodded and said no more.
Fei Wan escorted Xiao Heng out of the hall and turned around to greet Xi Ruo.
Xi Ruo looked around and whispered, "It was my fault just now. I almost let..."
Fei Wan waved her hand, she didn't care too much. She looked up and looked outside the hall.
"It seems like ministers have been entering the palace quite frequently recently?"
Although she was the queen, she was a princess of a foreign country after all, so some things were naturally kept secret.
She was just making inferences based on the reasons why Xiao Heng left and the number of times Xiao Yue entered the palace.
"yes."
Xi Ruo replied, but her eyes were full of confusion, not understanding why Fei Wan was asking these questions.
Fei Wan calculated the time and thought that the disaster in the south of Xiao Dynasty might have started from this month.
After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the flood that had troubled Xiao Heng for several months not only failed to be resolved, but the situation became more and more serious.
After Xiao Heng sent people to investigate, he found out that some officials had embezzled the court's disaster relief funds and food.
This month, there was probably news of floods in the south, but it was not serious, so Xiao Heng was able to take time out to see her.
Fei Wan returned to the palace and pulled out the letter paper that was hidden under the dressing box.
After Fei Wan sealed the letter, she asked Xi Ruo, "During your years in the palace...is there anyone you can trust?"
Without waiting for Xi Ruo to respond, Fei Wan said in distress, "It's really unreliable to leave such an important matter to the people in the palace. We should find someone else."
Xi Ruo was convinced by her and couldn't help asking: "Princess, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Fei Wan smiled and handed it to Xi Ruo: "Please help me give it to...that prince."
That prince? Which prince?
There was only one His Highness they were with these days.
It was... the hostage of Pei State - Pei Yanzhou.
"Princess, he can't even protect himself right now. We can't get out, let alone him. Besides, this matter is so important. If we're discovered..."
Xi Ruo thought Fei Wan was blinded by her beauty and didn't dare to say it too clearly, but she could also hear that she was afraid that Pei Yanzhou would expose them.
"No, you give it to him and ask him to deliver this letter to Nan'an."
Xiruo took the letter and left the hall with a worried look on her face.
Not long after, Xiruo came back.
The letter on the table was intact, never opened, and returned exactly as it was when it left.
Xi Ruo looked at the letter on the table, at a loss. She sighed and said, "Princess, this method won't work. That prince said that the princess has found the wrong person and he can't leave the palace. What should I do now?"
Pei Yanzhou did not accept it, which was within Fei Wan's expectations.
However, the reason Pei Yanzhou gave made her want to laugh: "He can't leave the palace?"
If Pei Yanzhou could not leave the palace, when Fei Wan first saw him, he would know where his internal injuries were caused.
If Fei Wan guessed correctly, Pei Yanzhou had not been idle in recent years and had probably cultivated many confidants in secret.
Fei Wan found a reason to send Xi Ruo away. Compared to Xi Ruo's depression, Fei Wan was not too worried.
