The Grand Princess

Chapter 106: Reason

"Ah," Shangguan Ya saw Su Ronghua, and returned to her senses from a brief astonishment, "Why is Master Su here?"

After speaking, Shangguan Ya elegantly sorted out her skirt, saw her left leg pressed on her right leg, raised Erlang's leg, supported her chin, and said with a smile, "Master Su escaped?"

"You count me."

Su Ronghua spoke directly, and Shangguan Ya chuckled, "Why did Young Master Su say that? This is called Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai, one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer."

Su Ronghua laughed out loud when he heard this, "You are not afraid to offend me."

"It sounds like if I don't do this, I don't want to offend you. You come to inspect the department and everyone knows what you are doing." Although Shangguan Ya's face was smiling, his eyes were cold. Yi said, "You and I have different positions, so why bother to pretend to be a good person? I will ask you to come out and I will count you. Don't you count me?"

"What have I calculated for you?" Su Ronghua clenched his fists, Shangguanya poured tea for herself, and said leisurely, "You have to ask yourself, why are you approaching me so diligently?"

Su Ronghua was stunned by these words, and he couldn't help but retorted: "Am I courteous?"

"Follow me in the casino, the inspector pestering me, writing letters and snorting to make fun of me," Shangguanya said one by one about Su Ronghua's things, and then looked at him with a smile and a smile, "If I were an ordinary girl, If you’re really afraid, you have to think, do you like me. It’s a pity, I’m so clear-headed, you’re Teacher Su Wang, and your Majesty has been inserted into the Superintendent as Deputy Director, whether it’s the princess being assassinated or on weekdays There is your shadow behind the resistance in the investigation case. If you like me," Shangguanya sighed, "That's really funny."

Su Ronghua didn't speak, he stared at Shangguan Ya.

He only knew for the first time that invisible, he had spent so much energy on this person.

He looked at Shangguanya's non-sentimental eyes, he felt an unspeakable soreness spread in his heart, he couldn't help but asked, "Do you not believe in emotions?"

Shangguan Ya was stunned, and then she said in amazement: "I'm all here, do you think I'm a good cheat?"

Su Ronghua stared at Shangguanya. He looked at her. After a long time, he suddenly said, "It's pitiful."

"what?"

Shangguanya didn't understand, Su Ronghua repeated it word by word: "I said you, like the others in Huajing, are a poor bug."

"You have brains, but no hearts."

"Aren't you?" Shangguanya felt as if she had been scolded by him, and sneered.

"Who is at odds with you?!"

Su Ronghua raised a voice: "I'm like you, I told you when I met you in the casino! A girl's house came and went in this kind of place, do you still have a reputation?"

"Then you say it," Shangguanya laughed, "you said, you can't get in touch with this eldest lady from Shangguan's family. I just don't have a reputation. Isn't it better for me to stay at home without a reputation? You think I want Married? But you are different, you just missed a good opportunity to contact me and take advantage of me."

Su Ronghua nodded his head, and he kept smiling: "Awesome, very powerful. I misunderstood you. I thought you were different from the people in Huajing."

"They are all people who grew up eating food, what's the difference?"

Shangguanya ridiculed her face: "Don't give gold to yourself, and don't give me gold. If you want us to be a kind-hearted son-in-law, Pei Wenxuan won't be a servant of the staff, and you won't be in the Supervision Department. A report pays a report. The people around you slapped the people around me. I slapped you back. What are you calling for?"

"You are right."

Su Ronghua nodded and responded: "No injustice. I'd like to see, just your trick, what can really do to me?"

After speaking, Su Ronghua jumped from the carriage, Shangguanya didn't look up, and said in a loud voice, "Walk slowly and don't give it away."

Su Ronghua paused in front of the carriage when he heard the sound of walking slowly, and suddenly said, "I just don't want to fold your wings."

Shangguanya's tea pouring stopped, and Su Ronghua's voice outside the carriage was very small: "I think you are alive when you bet and scold others and splash tea."

After Su Ronghua finished speaking, he turned on his horse and drove away.

The Shangguanya teapot hung in the air for a while, and finally fell down after a long time.

"Go back."

She spoke calmly.

When Shangguanya rushed to Shangguan's mansion, Li Rong's people had been arranged one by one.

She can't get too involved in this matter, it's better to be handled by Li Ming's people. What they wanted was not to do anything to Su Ronghua. Officials openly recruiting prostitutes in Daxia were not considered a serious crime. They were fined for two days after being imprisoned. With Su Ronghua’s family, Li Ming couldn’t get angry anymore. how about it.

All they wanted was that Li Ming knew that Su Ronghua and Xia Wensi had contact.

This thing is not exquisite. Su Ronghua and Xia Wensi can completely bite themselves and be framed by others, but they can't provide evidence. The dancing girl is Su Ronghua’s favorite confidante. The teahouse is also set in the name of Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua invited him. The note is still there, plus Li Ming's suspicion first, there is no need to say more, Li Ming will have his own decision.

Li Rong counted Li Ming's thoughts and inquired about Su Ronghua's news all the way.

It didn't take long for Su Ronghua to return to Su Mansion to be arrested. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were playing chess. She said slowly, "What did Su Ronghua say?"

Su Ronghua must argue, but how he argues is the key.

Jinglan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Master Su said nothing."

"What do you mean?" Li Rong frowned, she raised her head, "I didn't say anything about it?"

"After Grandpa Su drove his horse back to the mansion, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that he had recruited a few dancers outside, but he was accused of ten lashes by Su and he was sent straight to prison."

When Li Rong heard this, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Go down."

Jinglan respectfully saluted, then stepped back. After Jinglan left, Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Rong: "What is your Royal Highness thinking?"

"I'm thinking," Li Rong said slowly, "Why did Su Ronghua recognize it directly?"

"Because he knows that denial is useless now." Pei Wenxuan dropped the chess piece, "He can't explain the note. If he admits that this note was written to Shangguanya, what your Majesty wants to think is not that he colluded with the officials to frame your Highness, and It's the relationship between him and Shangguan's family."

"It's better to recognize it clearly," Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "The relationship between Concubine Rou and the Su family was built by her Majesty. Concubine Rou's permission to contact the staff to make trouble for us did not fundamentally destroy the balance that His Majesty wanted. Your Majesty is only a little angry at best, but it won't really matter."

"After all, in your Majesty’s heart, the Su family is the support of Concubine Rou, who is fighting against the Shangguan family behind the prince. Concubine Rou’s brother’s military power in the northwest is against the military power of the prince’s family. After three years, King Su... …"

As Pei Wenxuan said, the words stopped. Seeing that he stopped speaking, Li Rong looked up at him, rather strange: "What's wrong?"

"I just think you know all of this," Pei Wenxuan laughed. After hesitating for a while, he slowly said, "I'll repeat it again, for fear of your sadness."

Li Rong twisted the chess piece, she thought for a moment, and whispered softly: "I am not sad, it has been so many years."

"I might complain back then, I would hate Roufei, Suwang, and Huale, and feel that they are disgusting," Li Rong said, placing the chess pieces on the chessboard and slowly saying, "But then I felt that they were also pitiful."

"My father paved the way for them, never because of loving them. My father suppressed me and Chuan'er, and never because of hating us. He loves no one, and no one hates him. It's just the heart of the emperor that he doesn't want the family to be alone. That’s it."

Listening to Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong turned the topic back: "Then what you said is that Su Ronghua is also advancing with retreat. The faster he recruits, the less his father will doubt him?"

"Yes."

"However, there is actually one more thing," Li Rong thought for a while, "Why is Su Ronghua so reckless? I remember, he is also a smart man."

Pei Wenxuan rubbed the chess piece, seeming to hesitate.

Li Rong couldn't help but say, "What are you thinking?"

"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan hesitated, "When Grandpa Su came today, he dressed up specially."

"So?" Li Rong was puzzled, Pei Wenxuan laughed and reminded, "Master Su, I probably never thought that Miss Shangguan would design him."

"Isn't this a joke?" Li Rong was amused by Pei Wenxuan's words. "Which of the Su family is not a human being. Even if he has a good opinion of Aya, he is really stupid thinking that Aya will not count him?"

Pei Wenxuan buckled the chess piece on the board with a gentle expression: "His Royal Highness, do you think I am a smart person?"

"Of course it is."

Li Rong definitely opened his mouth, twisting the chess piece and landing next to Pei Wenxuan's chess piece, Pei Wenxuan smiled and raised his eyes: "But back then, before the last minute, I believed that His Royal Highness would not attack me."

Li Rong fell silent, Pei Wenxuan intersected with her, and her voice was flat: "You and Miss Aya both take people's hearts too badly, but in many cases, people are not as complete as your Highness and Miss Shangguan thought. All reason. Deep down in a person’s heart, there is always such an inexplicable dependence and trust on others. Although Grandpa Su is different from ours, he is a person of true temperament. He values ​​his feelings very seriously for the sake of what he likes. People, go through fires and waters, and do not hesitate. He admires Miss Shangguan, and he didn't watch out for her. Isn't it normal?"

"You say that, you seem to know him well."

Li Rong raised his eyebrows. In his memory, the relationship between Pei Wenxuan and Su Ronghua was not good. Pei Wenxuan put his sleeves aside and placed the chess pieces at the farthest point of the chessboard: "Although I have never had close contact with him, I was involved in the Su family's case back then."

When Li Rong heard this, her movements became stiff. Pei Wenxuan noticed her strangeness, pretending to not know, and served a tea ceremony: "His Royal Highness knows, why did your Highness the Crown Prince have to kill Su Ronghua?"

Li Rong didn't expect that Pei Wenxuan would suddenly talk about these past events. She hesitated for a moment. She was a little afraid to ask, but she knew that this might be the hurdle she would go through one day.

She lowered her eyes: "Why?"

"Because the Prince suspected that Qin Zhenzhen died at the hands of Su Ronghua."

When Li Rong heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Pei Wenxuan in shock: "How is this possible? Why did Su Ronghua kill her?!"

Back then, countless people wanted to kill Qin Zhenzhen for many reasons, but they couldn't get along with the Su family.

No woman from the Su family entered the harem, and Su Ronghua poisoned Qin Zhenzhen. Where did the reason come from?

"I didn't think about it before, so I thought for a time that His Royal Highness made a mistake."

Pei Wenxuan took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to Li Rong: "Until today, I finally confirmed that Su Ronghua, maybe there is a reason."

Li Rong didn't dare to speak, Pei Wenxuan directly announced the answer: "In this life, Su Ronghua and Shangguanya are in the same casino. This happened before His Highness intervened in their relationship. In the last life, they hadn't seen it?"

"Qin Zhenzhen died of a poisonous killing. The mother and son should have been killed, but the child survived by chance. His Royal Highness thought, who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter?"

There is no need for Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong already understands.

"Aya...not such a person." Li Rong said with difficulty.

"Shangguanya isn't it, where's Su Ronghua?" Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "According to the degree of Qin Zhenzhen's favor at that time and your majesty's attitude towards the family, the chances of Miss Shangguan's child becoming the crown prince are too small."

"Su Ronghua never married a wife in his last life. When I checked him, all the dancers who had come into contact with him said that he only enjoyed singing and dancing and didn't talk about love. If there was no one in his heart, why did he stand alone to death?"

Li Rong didn't speak for a long time. She held the chess piece and looked at the interlaced chessboard, as if she was in a daze.

Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at her: "Why didn't Your Highness speak anymore?"

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong smiled bitterly, "I suddenly felt that I lived like a joke in my last life."

"I helped the aristocratic family. In this life, you tell me that the aristocratic family did a lot of evil; I think Chuan'er was violent and unscrupulous. You said he was forced to be helpless; I think the Su family is innocent. Now you tell me that Qin Zhenzhen died in Su Ronghua. The hand. Live a lifetime," Li Rong felt a little ridiculed, "Am I looking back to admit my mistake?"

"Then what about me?" Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at her, with a sense of helplessness in his eyes that seemed to feel the absurdity of life, "I think you are arrogant and rude and narrow-minded, but even Qin Zhenzhen, you are willing to give her A piece of heaven and earth; I think you only have power in your heart, but you are also asking for orders for the people to thoroughly investigate the military payment case; I think that the family is incurable and rotten to the root, but you can take Shangguanya and tell me that there are good people in the family; Thinking that you will never bow your head in your life, you are willing to tell me and let me wait a while. To say confession," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I really came back to confess."

"Look, how long has it been since I came back," Pei Wenxuan sighed, "How many times have I said sorry to you?"

"His Royal Highness, if a person does not live well for a while, it can be said that it is the fault of others, it is the fault of heaven. If a life is not well, it is more or less related to yourself."

"So," Li Rong said, holding up the teacup, seeming to admit his fate, "we all came to admit our mistakes."

"His Royal Highness, this is not confession." Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand and took Li Rong's hand. "This is to give us a chance and let us start over."

Li Rong's movements stopped, she was holding the tea cup, and Pei Wenxuan's words were in her ears. She hesitated for a long time before raising her head: "Then, Aya, should we take care of it?"

"What's the matter?"

Pei Wenxuan was a little weird, Li Rong was a little bit difficult to say, her words were inverted, and she didn't follow the way: "Yes, Su Ronghua and her, if... if they missed the previous life, they have not been together in this life," Li Rong looked up at Pei Wenxuan. "Isn't it a pity?"

Pei Wenxuan was stunned. He seemed to have never expected Li Rong to think so. Li Rong asked for his opinion: "If Su Ronghua likes Aya and Aya uses him, wouldn't he be sad?"

"Does your Royal Highness think that Miss Shangguan should not hurt Young Master Su's heart?"

Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong seriously, Li Rong frowned and said as expected: "If he is not sincere, it is mutual use. But if he is sincere, he should have the respect he deserves."

Pei Wenxuan did not speak. Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan staring at her. She was a little embarrassed to be seen: "What are you doing looking at me like this?"

"No," Pei Wenxuan laughed, looking down a bit embarrassed, "I just know how many years I have missed you."

"Now that you know me?" Li Rong was a little pleased when he heard him praise herself. She stood up, "Well, I will let Shangguanya take a letter, while Su Ronghua is still in jail, it will last. not late."

As Li Rong said, she sent a message to Shangguanya and asked her to see Su Ronghua.

Shangguanya was about to go to bed when she received a message from Li Rong. After sitting on the bed for a long time, she finally got up, changed her clothes, and went to the chief of the criminal ministry.

Su Ronghua had already fallen asleep in the prison of the Criminal Ministry. Halfway through his sleep, he heard the sound of footsteps outside. He pretended not to hear it, and turned his back to Shangguanya and did not look back.

Shangguanya stood at the door of the cell for a while, and after a long time, she finally said, "Su Ronghua, I am here to see you on the orders of your Royal Highness."

"Look at what I am doing?" Su Ronghua closed her eyes and turned her back to Shangguanya. "Am I having three eyes or five hands, and I need you to come and see it so late at night?"

Shangguan Ya pursed her lips and said nothing.

After hesitating for a long time, she said: "In fact, what you said, I went back and thought about it tonight."

"I think you might be right."

"You are dressed in such a splendid manner today, and you really take this meal to your heart. It is indeed my fault for me to use you like this. You see if this will work, just forget it this time, not as an example."

Su Ronghua didn't speak. The first time Shangguanya saw him with such a cold attitude, she felt a little uncomfortable. She muttered, "Don't ignore people. Or else, let's take a gamble?"

With that, Shangguan Ya drew out a deck of cards from her arms: "If I win, don't be angry."

"What if you lose?"

Su Ronghua finally said aloud, Shangguan Ya touched her nose: "Then...then you will continue to be angry for a while, right?"
