The Grand Princess

Chapter 12: Confession (repair)

The water source was not far in front. After the two of them had a quarrel, they both felt exhausted and no longer noisy. Li Rong went down the **** first and reached the flat ground near the water source, a little farther away from the water source. There was still some lawn in the place, Li Rong was so tired that he just sat down no matter what was clean or not.

Pei Wenxuan came slowly. He picked up some dry wood in the woods and returned to the river. When he reached the river, he saw Li Rong sitting on the haystack. She seemed very tired, but she persisted in sitting. The arrogant and domineering person, at this moment, is quiet, with his hands around his knees, his head is lowered and his face is buried in his knees without making a sound, it looks as if a little pitiful.

Pei Wenxuan also felt that he was accustomed to being called by her. Looking at her this way, he was a little uncomfortable. He set the firewood and cleared the haystack out of mud, then built a small pile with his head down and took it. Huozhezi raised the fire.

After the fire lighted up, Li Rong raised her eyes and looked at the source of warmth.

She was tired and sleepy, but the grass soil was full of water. If she lay down, her clothes would get wet in a moment. So she didn't want to lie down, but it was also uncomfortable to keep it so.

She vaguely heard that Pei Wenxuan was back in the woods again. After a while, he came back and wrapped a lot of things in his coat. Li Rong looked up and found that Pei Wenxuan seemed to have picked up a bunch of dead leaves.

He piled up the dead leaves thickly and covered them with clothes, and then greeted Li Rong: "Come here and press, don't let the wind blow the leaves away."

After speaking, Pei Wenxuan turned around, tucked his trouser legs to his knees, lumped his clothes, and took the sword in his hand and went to the water.

Li Rong is not a ignorant person. She got up and went to the edge of the dress, and lay down, making her feel much better.

After lying down for a while, she listened to the sound of water next to her and felt that she could not sleep anymore. She turned over, lay on her clothes, propped up her upper body, and looked at Pei Wenxuan not far away.

Pei Wenxuan stood in the river, holding a sword in his hand, motionless.

His patience is very good. Li Rong has stared at him for most of the day, but he hasn't seen him move anywhere except his eyes, as if he was hunting enemies in the hall.

Li Rong held his chin, looked at the young man in the distance, and slowly saw a bit of smell.

If Pei Wenxuan doesn't speak, that face is indeed Sheng Jing Wushuang, mixed with gentle and handsome, not too soft, with a bit of indescribable arrogance, and not annoying. In the moonlight, the long sword in white, standing quietly in the flowing water, really looks like a banished immortal, reflecting the brightness of January.

Pei Wenxuan is not good anywhere, but Li Rong really has nothing to say about this face. Especially now that he is still 20 years old, it is the best years, and Li Rong likes it more than the old man later.

Li Rong stared at Pei Wenxuan for a while, and saw that his eyes were quick and quick, and he dropped the sword into the water with a "swish" and strung a fish out.

He threw the fish on the shore, turned around and waited. After a while, he repeated the old trick and stabbed another fish.

He got the fish and squatted on the ground. After quickly cleaning the fish by the river, he cleaned his hands, inserted the tree trunk cut in advance, grabbed it and walked back to the fire.

He knew that Li Rong was not asleep. When he got to the side, he handed the fish to her and said impatiently: "Bake it yourself."

Originally, Li Rong had nothing to do with grilling fish by herself, but she couldn't listen to Pei Wenxuan's tone of order to her, so she ignored it at all and said lazily: "This palace does not grill fish."

"Then don't eat."

"But this palace likes to eat fish," Li Rong said with a smile, "If you don't grill it for me, I will grab the fish if you have it!"

Pei Wenxuan was speechless, he couldn't quarrel, and didn't want to quarrel with Li Rong, so he sat down, put the fish on a stone, and turned it over the fire.

Surrounded by the sound of water and the "sizzling" sound of grilled fish, the two remained silent. After a long time, Li Rong said: "When did you come back?"

"More than a month ago."

Pei Wenxuan looked up at her: "Where are you?"

"Almost time."

After the two talked, there was a moment of silence. After a while, Li Rong couldn't help but sighed: "Unexpectedly, you didn't hide it from me."

"What's to hide?"

Pei Wenxuan said indifferently: "Don't you hide it from me?"

"I'm different from you." Li Rong lazily said, "I'm used to doing things and dare to behave, what do I hide from you? You are different," Li Rong said, glaring at him, "Little people."

Hearing this "little man", Pei Wenxuan sneered: "You are so embarrassed to say that I am a villain? I don't know who broke the covenant first and acted at me?"

"Ha," Li Rong straightened up and applauded when he heard what he said, "Sure enough, Rong Qing killed you? Good, great!"

Li Rong squinted at him, and said with joy: "A person like you who is treachery and ungrateful is always going to die."

"Dare you still say?!"

Hearing what she said, Pei Wenxuan was completely angry. He was anxious, squeezed the wood in his hand and fiddled with the fire, restrained his speed of speech, and stared at Li Rong: "Li Rong, I ask myself that I am sorry for you. Although you and I often quarrel, and occasionally confront each other, I haven't let you down for so many years, haven't I? You let Su Rongqing do something for the prince's dispute..."

"Then you are not?" Li Rong said coldly, "As a mere prince, I forgot the oath of the covenant back then. You can kill me, shouldn't I do it?"

"Killing you is just fulfilling the promise between you and me."

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan was stunned. He noticed something was wrong, and said quickly: "Who broke the oath and attacked the opponent first?"

When Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's question, she also reacted and immediately changed her face: "You didn't poison me first?"

As she said, she immediately described: "You come to me first and warn me that there was a strange smell on your body when you came. Soon after you left, I drank a bowl of medicine and became poisoned. Isn't it your poison?"

"No," Pei Wenxuan was shocked, and even after reacting, he immediately confronted Li Rong with the events of his previous life, and explained, "I did arrange a secret pile in the princess mansion, in case of accidents, I will let people start poisoning. It was also after you sent someone to kill me."

"When did you die?"

Li Rong frowned, and Pei Wenxuan thought for a while: "From the princess mansion, on the way back to the mansion, he was intercepted by Su Rongqing."

"It is indeed mine."

Li Rong lowered his eyes. After the two of them were silent for a while, they each cleared up their thoughts, and Pei Wenxuan thought for a while, then concluded: "So, in your last life, you actually didn't want to kill me, someone made you think I killed me. You, you fight back and kill me before you die, is that right?"

"It should be so."

Li Rong responded in a low voice. Pei Wenxuan looked at her quietly. After he slowed down for a while, he gave a low laugh. He wanted to say something, but didn't say anything. He raised his hand and patted his thigh, and sighed: "The agency is too clever, but clever is wrong. Li Rong, you still don't believe me after all."

"Do you believe me again?"

Li Rong looked up at him with a calm expression.

If she believed it, she would not have identified him as the murderer in the first place, and she would even be willing to hand over power to Su Rongqing and kill him.

And he wouldn't have placed a hidden stake in her mansion early, and was always ready to fight back and kill her.

"You're right," Pei Wenxuan nodded, "It's rare for real couples to have heart-to-heart trust, let alone us? But I'm curious, how do you think the murderer is me?"

"I died of Xiangmei's poison." Li Rong recalled the state before death. "When you came to see me, there was a strange fragrance on your body. You hardly wear the sachet that day. You brought it that day. Then you and I Talking about the prince, and even saying that if I disagree, I will kill me. After you leave, I drank the medicine and died of poison."

Pei Wenxuan's expression was condensed as Li Rong said about her death. Li Rong continued: "The evidence is indeed not sufficient, but you are motivated and capable, and clues point to you..."

"You think it's me."

Pei Wenxuan nodded and concluded. Li Rong remained silent. Pei Wenxuan seemed to be amused. He looked down at the fish, a little bit self-deprecating in his eyes.

Li Rong knew that she was wrong and didn't dare to speak. After a while, she whispered: "Where does the fragrance come from?"

"I said, you are afraid that you will be upset." Pei Wenxuan's eyes were a little gloating.

Li Rong thought for a while, frowning: "Su Rongqing?"

"Yes."

Pei Wenxuan picked up the fish from the fire and looked around. Seeing that the fish was almost grilled, he handed one to Li Rong. Li Rong took the fish in a daze and put it on the fire and grilled it slowly. Said: "When I went, Su Rongqing said that you were very ill. You must wear herbal sachets when you enter from the outside room. Otherwise, you will cough when you see people. I let people see the ingredients in the sachets, and I tried it. , I brought it. And your subordinates carry this sachet on both sides, but mine is relatively new, so it has a strong fragrance."

Li Rong was stunned. Pei Wenxuan stared at her, thinking that she was not so easy to believe in him, and then said: "You can also distrust me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this matter is not for Su Rongqing. It’s not me either, you just don’t put the bill on me."

Li Rong didn't speak, she stared at the fire blankly, Pei Wenxuan turned and grilled the fish and looked at her with a smile, seeming to be quite happy.

Li Rong couldn't help feeling a little dazed when he heard that he was not afraid of things going on.

She believed what Pei Wenxuan said.

Su Rongqing was rescued by her.

When Su Wang rebelled, Su Rongqing’s elder brother spoke for Su Wang, and then he was framed for intrigue with Su Wang, saying that Su Clan had rebelled with Su Wang. Li Chuan was dizzy at the time, and without going through the Trial of the Three Divisions, he put the whole Su clan in prison, the male was put to death, and the female was exiled.

She disagreed with this matter, and rushed to beg Li Chuan before the Su family was killed. After ten boards, and Pei Wenxuan dealt with it, she asked for an amnesty for the Su family.

But capital crimes are forgiven, and living crimes cannot escape. Even if the males of the Su family were able to live, all of them were tortured. The others were unbearable and committed suicide in prison. When she rushed over, the entire Su family of males was left. A Su Rongqing who "snatches his life".

At that time, she told Su Rongqing that she rescued him and did not ask him to repay him. She could give him silver and give him an errand so that he could live a good life outside.

At that time, she didn't have too special feelings for Su Rongqing. It was just that she had been rescued by him, and after being taken care of by him a little, she was a little more grateful, and...a vaguely unclear tenderness. She saves Su Clan, more just considering Li Chuan and her own conscience.

Su's family is so pure and expensive, so it is difficult for her to sit back and watch if she is unclearly killed.

It's just that Su Rongqing didn't want to leave at that time.

He knelt in front of her and begged him respectfully: "The slave body is incomplete, and this world is not tolerated. Only the princess mansion can live in peace. He is willing to stay with the princess and tie the grass ring to repay the princess for her life and death.

He said so, and she left him. The Su family has a lot of enemies abroad, and Su Rongqing cannot enter officialdom in her life, and it is difficult to have a position outside. She can't bear to see Su Rongqing being humiliated outside.

Because of the palace sentence, it was natural for him to stay in her mansion. Later, they had friendship. Although Pei Wenxuan noticed it, he couldn’t say anything. Li Chuan and the court officials didn’t think much about it. Pei Wenxuan was not so green. .

She didn't think that Su Rongqing would take revenge. After all, it was Li Chuan who ordered all the males of the Su clan and exiled all the female dependents. It is impossible for anyone to forget this blood feud, let alone the first son of the year? So for so many years, she has not dared to hand over the real power to him, observing him, guarding him, and trying to make him live better.

She couldn't really kill him with her own conscience, and she couldn't really trust him to give power to him.

In the end, he did. He killed her first, and then successfully took over her power in the name of eradicating Pei Wenxuan. If she guessed correctly, he would not leave with her staff, instead he would take revenge on her, reconcile people's hearts, join hands with the queen, push Li Xin to the top, and fight against Pei Wenxuan's remaining party.

In this way, he can be tightly tied to her people. He has real power. Li Chuan has cultivated immortals and heard Taoism for many years, and his foundation in the court has long been unstable. In addition, his body has been weakened recently. Perhaps Su Rongqing There was a real chance to kill Li Chuan himself.

She had anticipated this incident from the moment she took in Su Rongqing, but she couldn't help feeling a little regretful when she came to it.

If the Su family can survive, perhaps neither she nor Su Rongqing will end this way.

Li Rong took a deep breath. Seeing Pei Wenxuan's happy look, she couldn't help but say, "What are you happy about?"

Pei Wenxuan grilled the fish, and prolonged the sound: "I said that this person can't stay, you don't listen, it's better to go now," he said, he smiled and bent his eyes and looked over, "Is it a loss?"

"I suffer, are you so happy?" Li Rong said coldly.

"Yes." Pei Wenxuan exclaimed happily, "Our Royal Highness the eldest princess suffers. It is a rare opportunity in a thousand years. It is such a spectacle to see," Pei Wenxuan raised a hand and placed it on his chest, "I am so relieved."

"Master Pei was wrong this time," Li Rong laughed angrily at him, and said without a word. "My palace still let him serve for twenty-five years at any rate, and I am willing to kill him. You are hurting Yuchi. What are you proud of that fish?"

"He killed you, are you still willing?" Pei Wenxuan sneered, Li Rong squinted at him, "Why, Master Pei still refuses?"

"Is this round?" Pei Wenxuan laughed angrily, "Princess Jinzhiyuye, what about love, but I can remind the princess."

Pei Wenxuan turned his head to look at the jumping fire, and his voice became colder: "In your last life, you had to entangle with him. It was a matter of getting stuck. Now you have to dare to entangle with Su Rongqing, and go better. You can't save your life."
