The Grand Princess

Chapter 109: Rune paper

Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's words in the dark night and watched Pei Wenxuan go to bed.

Li Rong closed her eyes for a while and finally returned to the bed. She sat there for a while before she finally said, "Don't think too much, I remember."

"You didn't let me down," Li Rong's account was clear, "I won't let you down."

Pei Wenxuan did not respond to her, but only when she returned to the bed did Pei Wenxuan reach out and put Li Rong around her chest.

After the two slept until dawn, they went to the court together. As if nothing had happened in the court hall, the officials were performing their duties, and Li Ming's expressions could not be half different.

After waiting for the next dynasty, Li Rong personally asked him to investigate the personnel related to the previous life and Master Hongde.

Master Hongde turned out to be just a fortune-teller in Qingshui Town. He accidentally committed a murder case during a dispute and escaped. After studying Buddhism with a monk Tianzhu outside for several years, he came back and said he was a high monk of Tianzhu. The merits of many generations have been slandered in Huajing.

In the previous life, this person was the crime revealed by Li Rong. She was personally expelled from Beijing. He had many followers. Killing him directly would cause turmoil. So Li Rong found someone to assassinate him on his way to the southwest from Huajing.

With the help of the previous life, Li Rong quickly determined where these people were going and began to collect their confessions. When Li Rong came out of work, it was almost the next afternoon, but she still went to Huguo Temple non-stop, and then As expected, the host of Huguo Temple tremblingly told her that Master Hongde had been invited to the palace.

When Li Rong got a word, he hurried to the palace immediately.

As soon as she left, the news had reached the palace.

Concubine Roux got the news that Li Rong was about to catch Hongde. She was still taking a nap and woke up instantly. She sat on the chaise longue. After a while, she immediately ordered the next person: "Go and ask Mr. Li and tell him, Li Rong. Finding the handle of Hongde, it is time to enter the palace to arrest someone! Let him find a solution, immediately find a solution!"

The maid got a word, and hurried out. After everyone went out, Hua Le came forward and said in a panic: "Mother concubine, what is she doing to catch Hongde now?"

"She is catching Hongde now, and I'm afraid we won't count what we said before."

Concubine Rou's lips tightened: "Hongde told Your Majesty that Li Rong had secretly asked him to postpone the wedding for Li Chuan. These are just empty mouths and no proofs. The only thing that can be proved is the people from the Princess's Mansion. I have looked for him. There is evidence of this matter, so it can be proved, but if Li Rong is checking Hongde, it is not surprising that she goes to Hongde. Li Rong's mouth turns black and white, and she is afraid that she will cry. Cry, your majesty feels wronged again."

"His Majesty has already had a grudge against us about the previous matter," Rou Fei frowned a little uneasy. "If this matter is turned over by Li Rong again, we are afraid that we won't be able to speak more about Li Rong in the future. Position, Pei Wenxuan is afraid that he will be stable!"

"Then what should we do?" Hua Le panicked, "what shall we do later?"

Concubine Rou did not speak. She closed her eyes, and after a while, she took a deep breath: "Wait, Mr. Ruo has no good way."

Concubine Roux hesitated for a moment, then said: "Then we can only rely on ourselves."

The two waited for a while. When they heard that Li Rong was entering the palace, Hua Le grabbed Concubine Rou's sleeve and started crying anxiously: "Mother concubine, she has already entered the palace, what should I do? Is the father going to punish us again? Mother concubine..."

"Niang Niang." Hua Le was talking, and the maid rushed in and hurriedly handed a piece of talisman paper to Concubine Rou. This is a light apricot talisman paper with complicated patterns painted on it, and under the pattern, it says The birth date of Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan.

Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment, took the talisman paper in her hand, raised her eyes and said, "What is this?"

"Mr. sent it over to Master Hongde. Mr. said, Master Hongde can't keep it now. The most important thing now is that you can't let Pei Wenxuan become the assistant minister."

"Then what use is this talisman paper?"

Concubine Rou frowned, and the maid came forward, leaning against Concubine Rou's ear, and whispered for a long time.

Concubine Roux listened carefully. After listening, Concubine Rou could not help but praise: "Mr. is really resourceful."

As she said, she handed back the talisman paper and instructed humanity: "Secretly hand over the things to Master Hongde, and say the words that should be said together, let him remember."

The attendant respectfully responded, took the talisman paper, and withdrew.

When Concubine Rou's people arranged everything, Li Rong also went to the Imperial Study Room.

She had already notified in advance. When she arrived at the Imperial Study Room, she drove straight in, and then respectfully saluted Li Ming, saying: "I have seen my father. Long live my father."

Li Ming looked up at her, only said: "I heard that you entered the palace to arrest people?"

"Yes," Li Rong raised her head to meet Li Ming's gaze, "Erchen is now investigating the case of the demon monk Hongde. He has collected evidence for nearly three months. Now he has finally collected all the evidence and arrested people at Shanghuguo Temple. Dao actually entered the palace. Father didn't listen to his slander, right?"

Li Rong said proudly, but Li Ming didn't move. He looked at Zhezi and said: "It was Concubine Rou who brought it in and wanted to hear him talk about Buddha. There is no slander, but there is one interesting thing."

"What's the funny thing?" Li Rong didn't seem to know anything. Li Ming raised his eyes to Li Rong, with a low voice, with a little warning, "I heard that you asked him to lie and postpone the prince's wedding?"

"Postpone Chuan'er's wedding date?" Li Rong was surprised, "He is a monk, how can he relate to the prince's wedding date?"

Li Rong spoke too naturally. Li Ming stared at her for a long time. Li Rong frankly met his gaze and raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think of me like that?"

"It's nothing," Li Ming explained, seeing that the review did not have any impact on Li Rong, "He has a lot of prestige among the people, and a random prediction can win the support of many people. If he really said that Chuan'er is not suitable for big marriages in recent years , Otherwise there will be natural disasters, more people will listen to it, and Chuan'er's marriage will have to be postponed."

"So that's it, such a high monk," Li Rong suddenly realized, and then said, "Then why did he frame me?"

"He framed you?" Li Ming laughed, with deep meaning in his eyes, "Why don't I call him here, and you confront him?"

"That couldn't be better." Li Rong said happily, "I want to see, how does this demon monk plan to justify himself?"

"Go, invite Master Hongde." Seeing Li Rong's consent, Li Ming turned around and ordered the **** beside him to call Hongde.

The little **** took his order, and then hurriedly retreated. After Li Rong and Li Ming were the only ones left in the room, the father and daughter did not speak. They did their own things and did not know each other repeatedly.

After a while, Rou Fei and Hongde rushed in.

Although Hongde was born in the countryside, he was very good at disguising. When he came in, he was like a high-ranking monk. Concubine Rou and him saluted Li Ming. Li Ming raised his hand to let the two of them get up and said directly: "His Royal Highness Pingle said that you have committed a crime and arrested you. If there is a misunderstanding, make it clear, if there is no misunderstanding... "

Li Ming raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Roux, who coughed slightly and said slowly: "If there is no misunderstanding, it should be taken away by Her Highness Pingle. However, Her Highness Pingle, looking for someone to help, is now crossing the river to demolish the bridge, who are you? Come out?"

"Find someone to help?" Li Rong laughed, "Who did I call for help? This old bald donkey?"

Li Rong turned to look at Master Hongde, looked him up and down, and then laughed: "Why should I ask him for help? Just say it with his empty mouth and white teeth?"

"Master Hongde," Li Ming listened to Li Rong's words and turned his gaze to Li Ming, "Pingle is right. You can't just listen to you. You said that the people in the princess mansion asked you to discuss the prince. , Is there evidence?"

Hearing this, Master Hongde paused. After a long time, he slowly said: "His Royal Highness worked meticulously, and the old monk never left any tokens. But the old man knows the prince's birth date. Is this evidence?"

The birth date is the most secret thing for a person, especially the identity of the prince. Most people may know the exact date of birth of the prince, but it is difficult to get the exact time.

He can tell Li Chuan's birthday, which is indeed evidence.

"Knowing the birthday of the prince, can you say that I met you?" Li Rong laughed and retorted, "What if someone tells you to frame me on purpose?"

Li Rong's suggestion was already obvious, and Rou Fei's face was a little hard to look instantly. Li Ming coughed lightly, and could only defend Li Rong, "Pingle is not unreasonable, do you have other evidence?"

"It's all you need to know the birthdates of His Royal Highness," Hongde sighed. "What if I still knew the birthdates of Royal Highness and Princess?"

"I said, I just know..."

"What if you don't just know?" Hongde interrupted Li Rong, and Li Rong was stunned for a while.

Not only does he know that Hongde has evidence in his hands?

But where did Hongde get the evidence that Pei Wenxuan was not clean enough?

Li Rong's heart was upset, and it was at this moment that Hongde knelt at Li Ming's feet holding a piece of talisman in both hands.

"The people in the princess's mansion asked me to do it. They said it was specially ordered by the consort. The old man accepted it. It was only painted recently. I am planning to give it to the consort."

Li Ming didn't say a word, he took the talisman paper, and after a quick glance, he frowned.

It is indeed the birth date of Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan. When Li Rong married Pei Wenxuan, he had seen both of them.

Li Ming was silent for a long time, and finally handed the talisman to Li Rong. He reluctantly said: "Pingle, actually admitted it, it's nothing serious."

"I have nothing to admit." Li Rong replied decisively. After speaking, Li Rong took the talisman paper in her hand.

She hurriedly glanced at the content above and confirmed that this was indeed the birth date of two people, and the handwriting did indeed resemble that of Pei Wenxuan.

Although Li Rong spoke hard, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

It is true that Pei Wenxuan might do this to let Hongde count the marriage for him, but it stands to reason that he should not leave anything behind.

But Pei Wenxuan is always a little silly when he talks about feelings, he may have forgotten.

She stared at the writing on it, wondering how to argue. Everyone was waiting for her answer. After a long time, she was about to speak when she suddenly smelled the incense of the temple on the paper.

Li Rong's ghost touched the paper, and then instantly discovered that this paper was unique marriage paper in the Huajing Moon Temple!

"This charm is not something of Master Hongde." After Li Rong reacted, she raised the corners of her mouth, raised her eyes to Hongde, and said with a smile, "This is just a charm requested in the temple when the horses are playing. We will leave the charms behind. In the temple, I don’t know Master Hongde stole this thing and framed me here. What did he do?"

"But it doesn't matter anymore. My palace has been with you for a long time. Since you can't produce strong evidence, then I have to sue your majesty."

"What is your Highness going to tell the old monk?"

Hongde folded his hands on his chest, and his expression was calm: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no cause for it, please, please."

Li Rong smiled and raised her hand: "Please Mrs. Wang."

Hearing this, Hongde's face changed drastically. Li Rong watched his expression and smiled and said, "Wang Caishan, Master Hongde has been in business for a long time, don't you remember where you came from?"

As Li Rong said, a woman walked into the main hall shivering. The moment she saw Hongde, her eyes brightened.

"Sang Gong!" The woman rushed up and said excitedly, "Sang Gong, are you still alive?! Xiang Gong, how did you become a monk? You..."

Before she finished speaking, Hongde pushed her away and shouted: "Who is your mate?!"

The woman who was pushed away was stunned, and then she swept away the magnificent robes on Master Hongde. She reacted suddenly and stood up from the ground, raising her hand to Hongde, shivering: "You ...It turns out that something happened to you outside, you just don’t want to come back! Good, good, Wang Caishan, because I have served your mother for more than ten years at your house, you live comfortably outside and obey you and don’t go home. Do you still want to pretend to me now? Wang Caishan, even if you turn to ashes, my old lady will recognize you!"

"You...you talk nonsense!" Hongde was startled by the sudden appearance of his wife, and he stammered.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was excited for a while, then rushed towards Hongde, and shouted: "Bad son, I will kill you! I will kill you!"

It's just that as soon as she spoke, she didn't have time to move, and she was pressed to the ground by the guard next to her. Mrs. Wang was struggling and scolding on the ground, and Li Ming frowned.

He didn't want to control Hongde for a while, and waved: "It's nothing, you can take it away."

Li Rong smiled. She raised her hand and said respectfully: "Father, since you have made a decision, the minister there will go back first."

Li Ming waved his hand, and Concubine Rou hurriedly stood up. Just as she was about to say something, Li Rong immediately shouted: "My father has already agreed, what else will Concubine Rou say?

With this loud shout, he held back all the words of Concubine Rou, Li Ming raised his eyes to look at her, and said indifferently: "What else do you have?"

Li Ming's tone was already obvious, and Concubine Rou could not speak. After holding back for a long time, she finally could only say: "The concubine...the concubine is fine."

"The minister retires there."

Li Rong smiled and saluted, and then beckoned to the side, the guard rushed up, pressed Hongde and Madam Wang and left the palace.

"You mother-in-law," Hongde cursed as soon as he left the palace gate, "No brain, you ruined me! Ruined!"

"You balao, what future do you have?" Madam Wang sneered. "They all say that the man is unbelievable. I didn't believe my old lady before, but now I know it. You bastard, waited out of the palace to see if the old lady didn't strip you. skin!"

Both of them were born in the market, and there was no bottom line in cursing. Even after more than ten years of edification by the upper class, Yu Hongde still had some curses that could not win Mrs.

The two of them were pressed by the guards and followed Li Rong, yelling while walking.

But Li Rong held her hands behind her back, listening to the two people's curses, she felt that the moon was shining and the road ahead was bright.

As soon as she walked out of the palace, she saw Pei Wenxuan waiting at the door. Pei Wenxuan was not wearing an official uniform, only a blue jacket and a white shirt.

Spring is approaching, and Huajing is also getting hot. People like Pei Wenxuan who pay attention to appearance have already picked up the opportunity to change into the spring shirt.

He stood quietly outside the palace gate, looking at the silhouette of the distant mountains in the dark, his body was slender, like a pine crane.

Seeing him from a distance, Li Rong couldn't help but smile. She trot forward happily, took Pei Wenxuan's hand, and said happily: "Pei Wenxuan!"

Pei Wenxuan turned his head calmly, saw the smile on her face, knew the result, and said gently: "It seems that Your Highness has won a big victory."

Li Rong held Pei Wenxuan on his arms, without seeing the slightest humility: "Fortunately, it's fine."

As he said, Li Rong turned his head and told the people behind him: "Carry Wang Caishan to the Superintendent, and Mrs. Wang will send it to the inn."

The guards respectfully responded, and Li Rong turned around again, and walked over to the carriage with Pei Wenxuan, and asked, "Are you here to wait for me?"

"Let's go along." Pei Wenxuan spoke subconsciously, but after speaking, he hesitated and said again, "No, it's actually waiting for you specially."

"How do you answer two answers?" Li Rong raised his eyebrows, and Pei Wenxuan helped Li Rong into the carriage with a gentle voice, "The first answer is subconscious. The second answer is true."

"Aren't people speaking the truth subconsciously?"

Li Rong got into the carriage and asked strangely, Pei Wenxuan sat next to her and shook her head: "Subconscious words may not be the truth, but words that want to protect themselves."

Li Rong thought for a while, and thought so.

Seeing Pei Wenxuan starting to pour her tea, she pursed her lips, feeling a little happy.

Pei Wenxuan realized that she was in a good mood and glanced at her: "You won a game, are you so happy?"

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong held his chin, "You tell me the truth, did you secretly go to Yuelao Temple to make a wish?"

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he was a little surprised: "Why does your Highness ask like this?"

"Look at it," Li Rong took out a piece of talisman paper from her hand and proclaimed it towards Pei Wen, "What is this?"

Pei Wenxuan was originally smiling, but when he cast his gaze on the talisman paper with the eight characters of two lives, his face changed drastically, and he grabbed Li Rong's hand and said anxiously: "Where did you come from?!"

At the same time, Rou Fei rubbed Li Ming's shoulders in the Imperial Study Room.

What the maid said in her ear was in her mind.

"Mr. said that Hongde's things are untrue, as long as it arouses your majesty's suspicion, the most important thing for your majesty is to let your majesty know that your majesty and the princess have deep feelings. Your majesty suspects that the prince and the princess are working together. If you have feelings, your Majesty is afraid that you won't be able to tolerate Pei Wenxuan."

"This is a Sansheng Marriage Talisman that imitates the handwriting of a horse and a horse. It is a rune in Yuelao Temple that promises marriage for the next life. The ritual of seeking a charm is complicated and different from ordinary blessing runes. As long as you can induce your Highness to admit that this charm is indeed theirs , Then tell Your Majesty the true meaning of this symbol, and guide it."

"Pei Wenxuan's official road has come to an end."
