The Grand Princess

Chapter 117: Burning room

Li Rong: "..."

She didn't expect Pei Wenxuan to say this, which was a bit embarrassing.

But fortunately, all the embarrassment was only acting in her mind. Her face remained steady and nodded and said: "I'll pass."

"Also," Pei Wenxuan whispered, "If your majesty starts to investigate, you will let Hongde enter the palace and confront Su Rongqing."

Li Rong nodded, responded and hurriedly entered the palace.

She might not have known what Pei Wenxuan was doing before, but now that Su Rongqing's people took the booklet, Li Rong knew Pei Wenxuan's intentions.

The confession is indeed false. If you don’t check it, other people don’t know. With so many people in the memorial hall, it is normal to arrange a few people in the middle with Su Rongqing’s wrist. Seeing her with evidence, she named Su Rongqing. , Will naturally take away the confession.

If the confession is true, it is of course good for them to do so. They say that the paper is gone, and at most it is because the guards lose an official position or receive a reprimand. And Su Rongqing was safe and sound.

But the problem is that the statement itself is false. When they took this, Su Rongqing would never be able to explain clearly, and there would always be a lost Hongde confession here. Even if Su Rongqing's people returned the zhezi silently, she could still bite to death and say that the confession was transferred away.

The only flaw in this plan is that Hongde himself might not admit the statement, so what she has to do now is to enter the palace immediately, poke out the incident, and then Xuan Hongde enters the palace to testify.

Forced Su Rongqing to kill Hongde.

Li Rong raised her eyes, her eyes a little cold, Hongde died, and her confession disappeared, but in Li Ming's heart, this was destined to become an iron case. This time, Pei Wenxuan used a false confession, which was really a true accusation against Su Rongqing.

The seizure of the memorial hall secretly instigated Concubine Rou to try to figure out the emperor’s plan to set her and Pei Wenxuan. The most important thing is to do all this without being known to the emperor. The piles are the most taboo of Li Ming. Things are taking advantage of the power in Li Ming's palm.

Pei Wenxuan's trick is not uncommon.

Li Rong thought about it when he arrived in the palace and was notified to Li Ming. This fashion was not long before night, and Li Ming was still in the Imperial Study Room giving the zhezi. Hearing Li Rong came to see him, he couldn't help frowning: "What is she doing in the middle of the night?"

Li Rong was naturally prepared.

If you come to the palace in the middle of the night, if you are directly talking about business, it must be a bit too deliberate. So Li Rong was brewing at the door for a while. After entering, Li Ming looked at Li Ronghong with eyes, as if he had been wronged by the heavens. Li Ming paused and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you?"

"Father," Li Rong sobbed, "You can help your child minister to supervise the consort, he, he is too much!"

Li Ming paused, and then he knew Li Rong's intention. He hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "What's the matter?"

"Father," Li Rong put down his sleeves, rather lamented, "A few days ago, the concubine had a dispute with his children, but after that he ignored me. He said he wanted to reconcile with me, and he said that you have issued an edict. , But I don’t believe it anymore. Where can I force my daughter and the divorced father? I have reconciled with him, who shall I marry in the future? Should I raise such a face like an aunt?"

"Since you don't want to leave," Li Ming listened to Li Rong's words, unavoidably a little guilty, pretending to be calm and blaming her, "Then what do you ask the people in Nanfeng Pavilion to do?"

Hearing this, Li Rong seemed to have never expected Li Ming to know about this, and her face was a little embarrassed: "I... didn't I want to **** him off?"

Li Ming snorted coldly and was too lazy to care about her. Li Rong pleased her with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Father, my son is wrong. Go and persuade him. He always stays so stiff with me and sleeps in the outer courtyard. , What's the matter? You order now to get him back."

"Naughty." Li Ming tossed the paper aside, "I let you be the director of the supervision department. You think about these love affairs of men and women every day. Do you not do business, do you think about it?"

"Father, you have wronged me," Li Rong immediately straightened up when he heard this. "The elders and the servants quarreled with each other, but it didn't delay business. I have to say about the father, and I will pass it up. It has been several days, and you have not responded," Li Rong said, leaning forward, "What's the plan of the father?"

"What kind of paper?" Li Ming frowned. Li Rong blinked and said a little strangely, "It's the paper that Hongde confessed. I have sent it in for several days, and I have sent you all the evidence and material evidence. Don't do Su Rongqing, it's your idea in one sentence."

"Su Rongqing?" Li Ming said in surprise, "What is the relationship between Hongde and Su Rongqing?"

"Just..." Li Rong was about to speak, and then remembering something, she waved her hand impatiently, "You just have to take a look at the fold, and you want me to repeat it? But it doesn't matter, I'm talking about housework tonight, Father, Pei Wen Xuan always listens to you, you just..."

"Don't talk about it," Li Ming said solemnly, "the matter involves Su Rongqing?"

Li Rong didn't seem to understand why Li Ming was so serious, and nodded blankly: "Yes, Hongde said that Su Rongqing was looking for him and asked him to go into the palace to talk nonsense with Concubine Roux..."

"Fu Lai!"

Li Ming raised his head and immediately called the person next to him: "Go to the memorial hall immediately, and bring the princess's book over! I want to review it immediately."

When Fu Lai got this, he respectfully saluted, turned and walked out.

At the same time, in Su Mansion, Su Rongqing took Hongde’s confession and Li Rong’s memorial, and listened to the official kneeling on the ground respectfully saying: "My lord, if this paper goes up, the son is afraid that he will not escape the blame. It was during the assessment of Shang Shu's position that the humble duty was afraid of trouble, so he secretly took the Zhezi out first..."

"Lost."

Su Rongqing suddenly spoke and interrupted the official. The official was stunned. He raised his eyes to look at Su Rongqing who was sitting above. Su Rongqing's expression was calm, holding a confession, and saying: "This confession is false."

The official was stunned, and Su Rongqing slowly said: "His Royal Highness deliberately took this false statement, just waiting for you to steal it. Now if I am not mistaken, Your Highness should have taken the initiative to enter the palace. Your Majesty must have been looking at it at this moment. You go back quickly."

"Then I will take the Zhezi back immediately."

The official got up immediately, and Su Rongqing stopped him: "No need."

The officials were a little dazed. Su Rongqing lowered his head to drink tea, and said flatly: "After taking it back, the princess will definitely bite the confession to death and be replaced. When it is checked carefully, it will be found on your head, to no avail, and your position is also lost. "

"Then...what should I do?" The official panicked. Su Rongqing took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Leave things to me. You pretend that you don't know anything. Are you on duty now?"

"No...no." The official didn't understand what Su Rongqing was going to do, and Su Rongqing just said, "Then go to sleep, and be careful when you go back, as if you haven't been here."

The official nodded, although he was in a panic, but Su Rongqing was so calm, he did not dare to ask more.

After the officials left, Su Rongqing raised his hand and put the confession on the candlelight. The flame tongue licked the paper, and the paper was heated and circled. Su Rongqing stared at the appearance of the flame licking and indifferently said: "Let a handyman sneak in and put The memorial hall is burning. Don't let him out after the fire is up, just stay in it."

"My son," the person handling the errand hesitated, "isn't it too daring to burn the office directly?"

"More than being bold and reckless?" Su Rongqing chuckled lightly. "It's simply bold."

"The son..."

"Do it first," Su Rongqing's voice was flat, "That's it. Just wait when you're done. If you should come, you will come sooner or later."

As he spoke, he threw the half-burnt confession into the brazier, then he turned his head and looked at the memorial laid out on the page.

The memorial was written by Li Rong, and Long Feifengwu wrote his guilt. Su Rongqing watched quietly for a moment, then gave a low laugh, raised his hand and stroked the three words "Su Rongqing" written by Li Rong, silent for a long time.

Li Rong and Li Ming waited in the imperial study room for a while. Li Rong chatted with him about Pei Wenxuan. Li Ming responded to each other, obviously perfunctory Li Rong.

After waiting for a long time, Fu Lai walked back in a hurry. As soon as he got started, he knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the memorial hall was burned."

"Burned?"

Li Ming stood up in shock: "You say it again, where did it burn?!"

"Memorial Hall." Fulai repeated, "Now it is still fighting the fire, but it burned up on the way to the slave. I heard that there are still many officials trapped inside and are still saving people."

"Why did it burn?" Li Rong asked quickly. Li Ming frowned, and Fulai shook his head. "The cause of the fire is unknown. You have to wait for the investigation result."

Li Ming didn't speak, he seemed to be a little troubled. Li Rong hesitated for a moment, and stood up and said, "Father, why don't you come and have a look, the house is small when it is burned, and the people and the folds in the house are the most important." "

"No need," Li Ming said slowly, "You go back first, I will go there myself."

With that, Li Ming stood up and left when Li Ronggong sent him off.

Li Rong sent Li Ming away, got up out of the palace, and just returned to the house, before lighting the light, she heard a voice sounding at night: "What's wrong?"

Li Rong was taken aback by the sound, and then reacted. It was Pei Wenxuan who hadn't returned yet. She fumbled over and turned on the lamp. She saw Pei Wenxuan lying on the bed, supporting her head with one hand, and resting her knees with the other. Go up, look at her with confidence: "Your Majesty, can you trouble Su Rongqing?"

"Looking for trouble?" Li Rong sneered. She took off her coat and threw it on the screen. "Su Rongqing burned the memorial hall with a torch. Where do you think he will trouble Su Rongqing?"

"Burning the event hall?" Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "Is courage enough."

"Because it's old enough, I think you have to prepare early." Li Rong sat on the side of the bed, frowning with some anxiety, "He is a smart man, he has no plan, and it is impossible to do this kind of thing rashly. I just went. To make a complaint, when my father mentioned my zhezi, he burned the memorial hall. This is too obvious. He should not be so stupid."

"Worry about me?" Pei Wenxuan smiled and looked at Li Rong, without the slightest panic. Li Rong looked up at him, "You tell me the truth."

Pei Wenxuan was a little confused: "Huh?"

"Are you pretending to be calm and panicking?"

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

"Where did you see it?" Pei Wenxuan frowned, and Li Rong stared at him, "Do you know what he is going to do?"

"It's not hard to guess what he is going to do, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is," Pei Wenxuan smiled and looked at her face, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her in, "Weichen waited. It’s a pity that I don’t do anything for so long."

"As for him," Pei Wenxuan bit the belt and pulled it apart, and said vaguely, "His Royal Highness, don't think about it, I just think about it."
