At the end of winter, it was the coldest season in Huajing, and the ice and snow quietly melted away, bringing chills.

In the princess's mansion, Li Rong was lying on the bed, she was covered with a thick brocade, and there were many braziers in the room, which made the whole room to a high temperature, like a hot summer.

Many people stood in the room, but no one spoke. Li Rong was dizzy, not feeling comfortable, but compared to the previous few days, she felt a lot better when she coughed up blood.

"Change another veil."

An elegant male voice rang, and the maid next to him gave a "click", and then heard the sound of water.

Then Li Rong felt that someone was wiping the sweat from her forehead, and the person moved softly, as if wiping a porcelain doll, fearing that it would break by accident.

Li Rong opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a man in white as soon as he entered.

The man looked in his early forties, with an elegant temperament, handsome and gentle brows, and his gestures, all with indescribable elegance. Just looking at it like this, he felt very beautiful.

He noticed that she opened her eyes, raised her eyes to meet her gaze, and saw Li Rong staring at him. After a moment of daze, he laughed and said gently, "The princess is awake?"

Li Rong was in a daze for a moment when he reached out to help her up, put a pillow behind her, took a bowl of hanging pear soup from the maid and brought it to her lips, and whispered: "Drink first, run voice."

He said, feeding her mouth by mouth, and the right sweet soup was poured into her mouth, making her slowly wake up.

She finally recognized the person in front of her, this was the steward of the princess mansion who had served her for many years, Su Rongqing.

This is her most trusted staff member and the closest person.

When Li Rong was about to say something, she felt itchy in her throat. She raised her hand and pushed away his soup-feeding hand, covered her mouth with a veil, and coughed quickly.

Su Rongqing patted her back to give her comfort. After a long time, she slowed down, opened her mouth and asked about the affairs of the court, and said directly: "What happened to the king?"

"Still stuck," Su Rongqing slowly said what she was worried about, and said calmly, "Prime Minister Pei refused to let go and insisted on supporting the prince as a reserve. I have already made people arrest the prince's subordinates a ugly thing. I will participate tomorrow."

"He really doesn't give up." Li Rong gasped, Su Rongqing let her lean on her body, Li Rong felt the temperature of this person, and coughed softly, "He wants to stand Li Ping, because it is Qin Zhen. Really? People have been dead for so many years, still remembering not to let them go. Yan'er is the son of the Queen of the Palace, the crown prince, where will it be Li Ping?"

"You are angry too."

Su Rongqing chuckled and raised her hand to rub her temples. Li Rong felt much better. She leaned on Su Rongqing and listened to the other side's whisper: "It is natural that Pei Wenxuan wants to help His Royal Highness. His mother's clan is not flourishing behind His Highness. , And had good relations with Pei Wenxuan since he was a child. If his Highness becomes the emperor in the future, he can only rely on Pei Wenxuan. For Pei Wenxuan, he can continue to hold the power and grow old."

"How is your majesty now?"

Listening to Su Rongqing's words, Li Rong calmed down a lot. Su Rongqing continued: "Your Majesty is still the same, unconscious, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive for a few days. The queen sent a letter from the palace yesterday, so that you can prepare early. The matter can't be delayed any longer."

Li Rong didn't speak, she leaned on this person, and after a long time, she slowly said, "Rong Qing."

"Huh?" Su Rongqing answered, and Li Rong was silent. After a long time, she said, "I don't think I can survive for long."

Su Rongqing paused for her acupuncture hand, but Li Rong did not speak.

She really felt so, and when she opened her eyes this morning, she felt that she was no longer good.

"Actually, I have had enough in my whole life."

Li Rong slowly said, "I'm just worried about the Queen and Yan'er. If I'm not here, Pei Wenxuan will cover the sky with one hand. They are afraid they will not be able to beat him."

"Don't worry," Su Rongqing's voice sank, "If you die, he won't survive. I will kill him and bury him for you."

Li Rong laughed low after hearing Su Rongqing's words. She raised her head and saw the face of the person in front of her.

In fact, he is almost 51 years old, but he is not old at all. If it's not for a few strands of white hair on his forehead, he can't tell his true age at all. Standing out, he still looks like a **** the street.

Thirty years ago, Su Rongqing, who had passed the weak crown, was the lover of all the women in Huajing.

Even if he is old now, he is still an old dream in many people's hearts.

"I don't even know," Li Rong smiled and looked at him. "Our Lord Su sometimes gets angry."

"I have a lot of angry things." Su Rongqing laughed, and just as he was about to say something, he listened to the maid outside: "His Royal Highness, Prime Minister Pei would like to see you."

After hearing this, Li Rong glanced at Su Rongqing, rather strange: "What is he here for now?"

"If your Royal Highness doesn't want to see it," Su Rongqing looked calm, "you don't need to see it."

Li Rong thought for a while, and after a while, she smiled: "Fine, after all, we should see each other for a couple. Maybe this one is the last one?"

Su Rongqing did not speak, he sat quietly, Li Rong turned to look at him, a little confused: "Rong Qing?"

Su Rongqing seemed to have recovered. He stood up and said respectfully: "The subordinates go down and invite Prime Minister Pei."

With that said, Su Rongqing stabilized Li Rong and leaned on the pillow, pulled her clothes back, and got up and left.

Li Rong asked people to bring the bronze mirror over and touch up the makeup a little bit. After a while, Su Rongqing led Pei Wenxuan in.

Pei Wenxuanshang is also wearing a black court dress, wide-sleeved waist, red curling moire pattern printed on the wide-sleeved, and a red undershirt, making him look thinner and thinner. He was born very well when he was young, and now he is at the age of knowing the destiny, although he is not as handsome as he was when he was young, but he has a little calmness that is rare in a young man.

He walked into the room, bowed to Li Rong, brought a scent of fragrance between his gestures, and followed his movements. Li Rong couldn't help but glanced a few more times. Pei Wenxuan is used to being restrained. Where would he use such a sachet with such an obvious taste?

She felt different, her face was not visible, her eyebrows were bent, and she was about to say to let him sit down, but she couldn't help but cough lightly.

Su Rongqing hurriedly came forward to pat her on the back, Pei Wenxuan looked at it coldly. After a long time, Li Rong was relieved, looked up at Pei Wenxuan, and smiled: "Nothing does not go to the Three Treasure Hall, Prime Minister Pei has not returned to the princess for many years. Coming here today, there must be something important."

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, but looked at Su Rongqing quietly with a pair of eyes. Su Rongqing pretended not to see Pei Wenxuan's gaze, and stood motionless.

After a long time, Pei Wenxuan finally spoke and said coldly: "Let him go out."

It's not surprising that Li Rong got this. Pei Wenxuan didn't like Su Rongqing, and he didn't directly scold someone out. It was Pei Wenxuan who gave her face. After all, she and Pei Wenxuan are still a nominal husband and wife. Even if they have been separated for many years, they are allies. There is no embarrassment. She looked up at Su Rongqing and gently persuaded: "Rong Qing, you go out and wait."

When Li Rong spoke, Su Rongqing saluted the two, got up and retreated.

As soon as he left, everyone in the room followed. Only Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong were left. Li Rong coughed lightly, but Pei Wenxuan was silent. After a long time, Li Rong said, "What's the matter? ."

"About Li Chu," Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at her, opening his mouth as a political matter, "I'm here to discuss with you today."

"What are you discussing?" Li Rong pretended not to know about the court, and wrote lightly, "Xin'er is a direct official from the palace, Wen Liang and Gongqian, is there anything else to consider?"

"We have been working together for many years, and I don't want to go around the corners with you." Pei Wenxuan's eyes were a little cold, and his tone was a lot more serious. "His Royal Highness is arrogant and unsuitable for the throne. Moreover, his mother is too rich, if you Something happened to me, and my relatives might not be able to hold me down in the future."

"What's the difference between your relatives and you and me?" Li Rong sneered, "You said so well-sounding, so you know what you are doing! You are not talking to me as if it were me. If you don't agree, what are you going to do?"

"You must let Li Yan ascend the throne?"

"Nonsense!" Li Rong raised his voice, "Yan'er is a concubine. Is it possible to let a concubine's son ascend the throne?!"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak. After a long time, he said, "Do you really hold the hate?"

"Can you call Concubine Qin?"

Li Rong couldn't help reminding: "You can call Zhenzhen by the name?"

Pei Wenxuan went quiet again. After a long time, he stood up and said, "You can still make such a big noise, and your body is not bad. If you don't agree, that's it. In the future, each has its own means. No wonder I didn't. remind you."

As he said that, Pei Wenxuan turned and left. Li Rong looked at his back, qi and blood surged upwards, and said coldly, "I want to know, what kind of method you are talking about."

"What do you think," Pei Wenxuan said coldly, turning his back to her, "that's how."

Li Rong didn't speak, she sneered: "Can you still kill me?"

"Do you think I won't?"

Pei Wenxuan turned to look at her, his eyes were a little bit serious. Li Rong looked at his gaze, shaking her mind for a moment.

The eyes were too cold, which made her wake up in an instant. Pei Wenxuan, this person, can do anything to achieve his goal.

There is nothing between them, but they are bound by the names of the husband and wife, and they work together.

With the same interests, Pei Wenxuan can tolerate her in everything. Now that he is tit-for-tat, it is not surprising that he has many natural methods.

Li Rong panted anxiously when he saw him smash the door out.

Su Rongqing walked in and saw that she was very angry, so she hurried up to give her a favor and asked her to give her medicine. While he patted her on the back, he said, "He must be nothing good now. You are ill. What did you see him doing?"

Li Rong did not speak, and coughed against Su Rongqing. The maid came up with the medicine. Su Rongqing had someone try the medicine first. After confirming that it was all right, he gave it to her.

Li Rong took a sip of the medicine and was about to say something. As soon as the medicine entered her abdomen, she noticed severe cramps in her abdomen, and then her blood surged. She grabbed Su Rongqing's sleeve and rushed forward, and a mouthful of blood came out. .

Su Rongqing was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in shock, "Li Rong!"

Li Rong was panting on the side of the bed, her belly turned upside down, Su Rongqing held her and shouted at the doctor, and put her hand on Li Rong's pulse.

After a while, Su Rongqing's hands trembled.

"It's Xiangmei."

He blurted out, Li Rong heard the poison, and the fragrance of Pei Wenxuan's body instantly appeared in his mind.

Xiangmei, Qin Zhenzhen died of this poison when he was in the harem.

Fragrant beauties are usually placed in incense burners, and the scent that accumulates over time induces poisonousness. But there is also another usage, which is to directly catalyze the use of medicine after smelling the fragrance.

Li Rong endured the abdominal pain and swallowed the blood.

It's Pei Wenxuan.

She gritted her teeth and thought, this wolf cub, after all, shot him.

He wants to help Li Ping ascend to the throne. Now in the court, your majesty is indulging in cultivating immortals and hearing Taoism, and the queen's methods are not as good as him. She is his greatest resistance.

In the past, he believed that she had tolerated her as the eldest princess for many years. Now that the emperor is dying, he doesn't need the status of a consort to get the emperor's favor. She has become his political enemy again, and he naturally wants to get rid of her.

Pei Wenxuan, who had been acquainted with her for 30 years, was able to poison her so naturally. So the strange scent on his body is a fragrant beauty, and now this bowl of medicine, I am afraid that it is also his own people to fry. If she had only agreed to him, the bowl of medicine would not be delivered to her.

But she didn't, so he killed her.

He really dared to kill him!

Li Rong realized this and couldn't help but vomit blood. She vaguely heard the footsteps of imperial doctors outside, and her mind was sober as ever.

She can't keep him.

The pain made her extra calm-even if he died, let him be buried!

"You take my token," the imperial physician rushed up and began to give Li Rong the needle. Li Rong struggled to grasp Su Rongqing's hand and hurriedly said, "Call the elite of the princess mansion, set off immediately, set up an ambush in Baiyi Lane in the name of assassinating the princess , Cut Pei Wenxuan."

The blood came out of his mouth, Li Rong covered her mouth with a veil, and vaguely ordered: "His people will fight back frantically. When you are done, notify the staff and leave immediately. Pei Wenxuan is dead. For the rest, the Queen will Deal. You can't be targets."

"Don't tell me!" Su Rongqing hugged her and said tremblingly: "I know, I will deal with it. You see the doctor first, you're all right, you're all right..."

"If I die," Li Rong's eyes slowly darkened, "Pei Wenxuan, I can't live."
