Chapter 211: The Prince Consort's Background Revealed

Everyone was immersed in admiration and amazement, except Song Shiye, who looked unhappy.

All he was thinking about was how to kill Pei Zisu and take over the Pei Army. If he could get hold of such a powerful team, it would be much easier for him to do many things.

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to go forward and end Pei Zisu's life immediately, but he also knew that this was the Pei family military camp. Not to mention that he could not succeed, even if he succeeded, he could not get out of here. So he would not do such a thing that would harm others and himself. It would be better to do as his father said and leave him alone so that he could be killed quickly.

At this moment, he did not expect that a net of heaven and earth would be waiting for him, so he put a lot of thought into it. Pei Zisu also saw his expression and showed a hint of disdain.

It took a full half day to visit everything in the army. The King of Han accompanied them for a walk and had a meal in the army, so naturally they did not stay long. Seeing this, the Prince of Han finally found the opportunity to say something in a sarcastic tone.

"Only General Pei has the ability to obey the orders of the Pei Army. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if the Pei Army didn't obey my father's orders?"

When he said this, the King of Han's face suddenly darkened.

He knew that his son was stupid, but he never thought that he could be so stupid as to say such things in front of people from Xijing City. Wouldn't this make the relationship between them and Xijing City even more tense?

When he thought of this, he felt speechless, so a faint murderous intent spread all over his body.

"Your Highness, what you said is not right at all. How can the Pei family army be loyal to the prince? They should be loyal to His Majesty. Besides, General Pei is not only guarding the land of Hanzhou, but the front yard of the entire Dasui, right?"

Pei Zisu's words gave the King of Han enough way out. He looked at Pei Zisu with great appreciation and thought for the umpteenth time in his heart how great it would be if Pei Zisu could be his son!

As this thought became stronger, he looked at his son more and more displeasedly, and then he snorted coldly and said to him.

"If you can't talk, just shut up. You'd better go home and wait for your marriage in peace."

Other officials did not dare to step forward and say anything when seeing such a situation, so they all lowered their heads and pretended not to hear. Geng Shiming did not say much when seeing this, but just glanced at the Prince of Han with a slightly solemn expression.

The confrontation between Hanzhou and Xijing City will eventually be brought to the surface.

I just don’t know when!

The Prince of Han was also sweating coldly. He naturally knew at this moment that he had said something wrong, so facing his father's reproach, he dared not say a word. Instead, Song Shi stood up to help him out.

"Maybe my cousin is a little too happy. Isn't it said by everyone? There are three great fortunes in life: passing the imperial examination, rain after a long drought, and the wedding night. My cousin will be getting married soon, so Uncle Han, please don't get angry. It's just a mistake in what you said. It's not a big deal. We can just pretend we didn't hear it."

"Yes, yes, father, it's because I'm not good at talking that I said the wrong thing. Father, please don't take it to heart. The Pei family and Hanzhou are loyal to your majesty. This is true no matter where you say it."

The Prince of Han gave an awkward reply, and everyone followed suit.

Whether the King of Han had other ideas or not was another matter, but when facing the crowd, of course, it was most appropriate for him to behave like a well-behaved minister. No one wanted to be known as a man with a wolfish ambition, especially if he failed in the end, then the family might not even have a trace of blood left. When the King of Han thought of these, he felt that the prince was really hopelessly stupid. Now he was just looking forward to the Xie family girl coming in soon to leave him some blood, and then he would not expect his son to do anything, and he would not care if he died at that time.

Song Shi also knew that the time had come. If he revealed Prince Consort Cheng's background at this time, there might be chaos in the Prince of Han's Palace. So he left the camp with everyone else and returned to Hanzhou.

On the second day, when Geng Shiming and others were packing their luggage, he took action.

The King of Han received a secret report which clearly recorded everything about Prince Consort Cheng. He never expected that the son he had been searching for for many years would become Qing Huan's Prince Consort.

He and Qing Huan were cousins, so wouldn't it be against the will of heaven to rely on each other like this? He slumped down on the chair, his face extremely solemn, without the excitement of finding his own child.

The King of Han was racking his brains to figure it out, but Song Shiye, who was spreading the news, was heading towards Pei Zisu's mansion without stopping. He had specially inquired before coming and learned that the couple did not live in Pei's old house, so he went straight to the mansion in Linjiang.

He hasn't seen anyone for half a year since Jiang Shiyuan got married. Now he has been turned away repeatedly. Thinking of this, he is naturally dissatisfied and must meet that person.

Standing at the gate of the mansion, the attendant Song Bai went forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, someone came out to answer. It was a servant. When he saw Song Bai, he found he was a stranger, so he asked curiously.

"Is there something wrong with this young man?"

"I am the attendant of Prince Chun. Today, the prince has come to visit your young lady, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Please report to me."

"You want to see our young lady?"

Hearing this, the servant looked puzzled and then said something.

"Please wait, I'll go in and report to the butler first."

Before Song Bai could say anything, the servant immediately closed the door. Song Bai, who always had a high profile in front of the servants in Xijing City, was stunned for a moment. Then he spat coldly and returned to the prince.

"My Lord, please wait a moment. The servant has gone in to report."

Hearing this, Song Shiye couldn't help feeling happy. It seemed that Pei Zisu didn't lie to him this time, so he waited with peace of mind. However, no one came out after waiting for a long time. He looked at the sun and saw that it was getting hot, so he glanced at Song Bai.

Song Bai understood and immediately went forward and knocked on the door. This time he knocked with some impatience and naturally his voice was louder. Soon, there was movement inside and an old butler who looked quite calm came out.

"My last name is Yue, and I am the housekeeper of the mansion. I heard that a nobleman from Xijing City came to see our young lady. Unfortunately, the young lady just took medicine and went to sleep. I am afraid she will not be able to get up for a while, so please wait for a while. I just don't know if you want to go in and wait, or come back tomorrow?"

He didn't feel guilty at all when he said these words.
