Li Rong gave the sword to Pei Wenxuan, and she was then carried around in the palace. After walking in the imperial garden for a while, she was squatting on the ground and fiddled with a newly opened crabapple. When she saw the person sent to Pei Wenxuan turned back, she was led to her and said respectfully: "Your Highness, things That's it."

Li Rong nodded, took the square handkerchief from Jinglan's hand, and replied: "Yang Quan still can't hold his breath."

If you start late, you might live a few more days. It's just that Pei Wenxuan, who doesn't say it, doesn't say it, he will do it if he says it. Since he said that he will take Yang Quan's life, he will not leave Yang Quan a breath.

Just thinking about the things the Yang family did in the previous life, Li Rong also felt that keeping such a person was indeed a scourge.

In the last life, the Yang family fought hard at the border for a long time, causing Daxia to lose five cities in a row. It was not until five years after Li Chuan ascended the throne that he reclaimed the five cities with his army.

It is also a good thing to be able to make the Yang family quiet earlier now.

She guessed about what Pei Wenxuan did, but she was a little curious. What exactly did Pei Wenxuan say. She wiped her hands clean with a handkerchief, stood up, and said with Jingmei: "You go to report first, I plan to Go to the Imperial Study Room to talk to the Emperor Father."

Jingmei answered, and Li Rong was supported by Jinglan and went to the Imperial Study Room slowly.

When she arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, she saw Fulai waiting for her at the entrance and said with a smile: "His Majesty, Your Majesty is discussing matters with several adults, please wait a moment at the door."

Li Rong patted her palms with a small fan, nodded, and replied: "It's okay, my palace is waiting here for a while."

"The servant will bring a chair to your Highness?" Fulai knew that his Highness was used to being favored, so he hurried to please her. Li Rong nodded and only replied, "Good."

Fulai greeted people, moved a stool for Li Rong, and put a small table on the table. Tea and cakes were served on the table. Li Rong asked people to bring a book, basking in the sun and drinking tea, waiting for Li Ming to call.

After a while, a **** hurriedly came over, attached to Fulai's ear, whispered something, Fulai's face changed drastically, and after a moment of indulgence, he whispered: "You will bring people in first, and I will report to your majesty first. "

After speaking, Fulai turned back to the Imperial Study Room. Li Rong pretended not to hear anything, and turned a page in a leisurely manner.

After a while, Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan was led by someone. Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and seemed a little flustered. The corners of his clothes were stained with blood and looked quite embarrassed. The **** led him on. On the steps, when I saw him, Pei Wenxuan respectfully said: "I have seen your Royal Highness."

Li Rong heard the words, looked up at him, looked up and down, and smiled: "I saw Master Pei out of the palace just now, why did he come back?" Then, Li Rong half opened the folding fan, folded half of his face, and whispered. Said, "Do you miss me?"

Pei Wenxuan lowered his head, seeming to feel a little ashamed of Li Rong's words, but still quite calmly said: "His Royal Highness, don't want to laugh, the minister dare not think about Your Highness, but something happened on the road, so he rushed back to inform his Majesty. "

"Tsk."

Seeing Pei Wenxuan's appearance, Li Rong couldn't help showing a disgusting expression. Pei Wenxuan had dealt with her for many years and had been innocent to her mouth for a long time. Don't say just joking like that, even if she sneered in his face. The paragraph, Pei Wenxuan was afraid that he would be able to take it without changing his face, or it was like those high-ranking monks in the monk's temple, who solemnly told her: "Absurd."

Of course, she also understood Pei Wenxuan, after all, his life was not much different from that of a monk.

But now Pei Wenxuan pretended not only to pretend to be young, but also to learn to pretend to be innocent, which really vomited her. She raised her hand to cover her face with a fan, and ordered: "Father is still discussing, find him a stool and sit down. Just wait."

After finishing talking, she took the fan and took the book, looking herself.

Pei Wenxuan glanced at the book she was reading, and there were some messy textbooks. This hobby was never changed from the young to the end.

She is also nostalgic.

The person next to him went to serve him tea. The two of them sat as if they were strangers. Pei Wenxuan just sat down. After a while, Fulai walked out of it and looked at Pei Wenxuan and said, "Master Pei, your majesty announces you to go in."

"Wait," Li Rong interrupted Fulai, "My palace has been sitting here for a long time, so why did the emperor call him and not call me?"

"Princess," Fu Lai smiled bitterly, "Master Pei is in a hurry."

"What can he do in a hurry?" Li Rong was surprised, "He...not everything about him..."

Li Rong pointed at herself, did not say anything, just stared at Fulai, as if she wouldn't let her in.

Fulai showed a bitter expression and was about to speak, so he heard Li Ming's voice from inside and said, "All of them should be announced."

Fu Lai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly invited the two in together.

Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan and looked triumphant. Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled silently.

After entering the house and meeting with Li Ming, I found out that there were some important ministers sitting next to him. Li Ming seemed to be discussing something important. At that time, there were seven Shangshu and Shangshu province who were in power. When Li Rong saw them, her face suddenly became impressive, and she said in embarrassment, "Father, should I go back first?"

Li Ming couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Rong's words: "Isn't it arrogant when I came here? Come in, why are you walking? Get up," Li Ming raised his chin to the side, "Standing behind me."

Li Rong was rather embarrassed to stand up, and cleverly stood behind Li Ming. Li Ming turned to look at Pei Wenxuan and said calmly: "Did you not go out of the palace just now? Why are you back again?"

"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan's voice was trembling, "The minister just went out of the palace, and he met the second son of Yang in ambush. In order to protect himself, the Weichen lost his hand and took the second son of Yang..."

As he said, Pei Wenxuan kowtowed down, and a "clam" resounded throughout the room, causing Li Rong's scalp to tingle. He felt pain even just thinking about it, and immediately heard Pei Wen preach: "Kill!"

When these words came out, everyone on the scene was shocked, and the left minister Shangguan Xu exclaimed: "What did you say?! Who did you kill?!"

"Yang..." Pei Wenxuan's voice trembled, as if his emotions hadn't calmed down, he couldn't say it several times, "Yang..."

"Master Shangguan," Su Minzhi Youyou, who was sitting at the side, said, "This little son is still young and has suffered a catastrophe. How can he make it clear if you scare him so much, Lord Shangguan?" Su Min Zhi turned his head and calmly said, "Don't be afraid, you make it clear, who did you kill?"

Pei Wenxuan didn't answer. After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked up at Li Ming and said, "Your Majesty, the minister killed Yang Quan, the second son of the Yang family."

There was silence in the audience. This time Pei Wenxuan seemed to have the determination to die, and he fluently said the whole process, from how he saved the princess and clashed with Yang Quan, to today’s conversation with Yang Quan in front of the Imperial Study, Yang Quan threatened to kill He killed him, and was ambushed by Yang Quan on the way home, and how he killed Yang Quan.

Pei Wenxuan finished speaking and whispered: "Weichen knows that he is guilty today. Although the second son of Yang first set aside the Weichen, but the Yang family worked hard in Daxia, and now there is war ahead. The minister’s life, the minister is for the sake of Sheji, and he should not fight back against the second son. It’s just that there was no time to think deeply, and he just wanted a way to survive. Now he has committed this terrible disaster, Your Majesty..."

Pei Wenxuan choked and bowed his head: "Weichen will cut through thousands of swords, and death is not a pity. I only hope that your majesty can know it earlier, so as not to cause catastrophe."

Every word of Pei Wenxuan fell in the ears of everyone, and everyone was frightened.

Although this Pei Wenxuan said that he should be cut through a thousand swords, which sentence is not a word of punishment? Yang Quan was only a young man in the Yang family, and he dared to kidnap the princess and kill the commander because of jealousy. Both of them were mortal crimes.

It's just that Pei Wenxuan is right. Now the Yang family has been supporting soldiers at the border for many years and has accumulated a lot of prestige. Even if you do these things, you have to be punished, but you have to think about it.

Especially now that the border is tight, if the Yang family is angered and something goes wrong, no one dares to take the responsibility.

As a result, everyone present did not speak, and all remained silent. Li Ming's expression was calm. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. After a while, he slowly said, "What are you afraid of?"

Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Li Ming raised the cup, slammed it down, and shouted: "You are the commander of the Daxia court. Yang Quan dared to assassinate you in the street. If you kill, kill you. What are you afraid of! "

"Your Majesty..." Pei Wenxuan trembled, "Border..."

"Does his Yang family dare to turn back?!" Li Ming yelled with excitement, and immediately looked at the surrounding ministers, "I have already told you just now that the Yang family was so vulnerable to the invasion of the Rong country, and it was almost lost. Exhausted my Daxia's face! Fifty thousand defenders can't hold another 20,000 soldiers and horses! Siege! Now he dares to hijack the princess and assassinate officials in Huajing. Is his Yang family dead as me?!"

"Your Majesty calms down."

Seeing that Li Ming was so angry, everyone hurriedly knelt down. Shangguan Xu quickly spoke and persuaded: "Your Majesty, victory or defeat is commonplace in the military. Now it is also the sudden attack of Rong Guo. Yang did not expect to be caught off guard. Shi is still on the front line, so we still deal with this matter..."

"Shut up for me!"

Li Ming lifted the book and smashed it over, just hitting Shangguan Xu's face, Li Rong showed a flustered expression, looked at Shangguan Xu, then looked at Li Ming, wanted to say something, but didn't dare to say. Li Ming panted, staring at the people present: "I have settled this case. At this point, the Yang family has insulted the royal family. I want to investigate them and investigate thoroughly! Who will handle this case?!"

No one in the room dared to speak, each making his own calculations.

The Hundred-legged Worm died but was not stiff. Shangguan Xu spoke for the Yang family, which shows that the Shangguan family may still join hands with the Yang family. On such occasions, the noble families are not willing to participate in such a struggle.

Li Ming nodded: "Okay, good, all of you are afraid of him. Pei Wenxuan," Li Ming turned his head and stared at Pei Wenxuan, "If you dare to kill anyone, I ask you, this The case, let you investigate, dare you?"

"Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Pei Liwen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who had been silent, raised his head and said anxiously, "Wen Xuan is now young and can't do it..."

"Did I ask you?" Li Ming yelled and stopped Pei Liwen. Pei Lixian, who had been kneeling next to him, gave Pei Liwen a look and shook his head.

Pei Liwen dared not speak, Li Ming stared at Pei Wenxuan: "Talk."

Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath and straightened up: "Weichen is willing to share worries for your majesty!"

"Okay." Li Ming said directly, "From now on, you will go to Yushitai to supervise Yushi, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will investigate the Yang case."

"Your Majesty," Shangguan Xu couldn't help but speak, "Pei Wenxuan said that he was the victim, and asked him to investigate this case specifically, I'm afraid it's wrong."

"Then Lord Shangguan checked?"

Li Ming asked, Shangguan Xu was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Rong's voice: "Or, this case is presided over by the court and Master Pei assisted, how about?"

Hearing this, everyone looked over, Li Rong coughed lightly, and said seriously: "This incident also started in this palace. This palace is a princess. The Chayang family is not indispensable in terms of rank. If there is no suitable candidate, my palace inspects, Master Pei handles the case. I wonder what you think?"

Li Rong spoke, everyone fell silent, Li Ming frowned, Shangguan Xu was also meditating.

Su Minzhi hesitated: "But the princess was also victimized in this case..."

"Then let Su Shilang supervise?" Li Rong looked at Su Minzhi. Su Minzhi was stunned. Li Rong said directly, "I heard that Su Shilang is fair and upright. Su Shilang presides over this case?"

"The princess is joking," Su Minzhi said hurriedly, "the child is young, not enough to handle this big case."

"That's why he supervised it." Li Rong interrupted Su Minzhi and looked directly at Shangguan Xu, "What do uncle think?"

Shangguan Xu pursed his lips. He glanced at Li Rong, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Weichen thought that what the princess said is not unreasonable."

Li Rong turned to look at Li Ming and blinked: "Father?"

Li Ming glanced at Shangguan Xu and knew that if he continued, Shangguan Xu was afraid he would recommend someone from his side to investigate the case. Now he has confirmed that the Shangguan family is related to the Yang family, but he is afraid it is not easy to handle it.

So Li Ming nodded and replied, "There is no other way now, just do as you say."

As he said, Li Ming sullen again: "Don't mess around."

"Father, don't worry," Li Rong smiled, "I know how to count."

Li Ming's mood gradually eased. He looked around and then comforted Shangguan Xu with a few words before letting everyone go down, leaving Li Rong alone in the room.

The father and daughter were silent for a long time, and Li Mingcai said, "Why do you suddenly want to see the father?"

Li Rong lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "My daughter was robbed last night. I should have come to see the father first and report the situation. I only came now, it was too late."

Li Ming didn't speak. Seeing Li Rong's face tired, he seemed to have a lot of thoughts.

Li Ming can't figure out the position of this daughter. He is used to pet Li Rong, but Li Rong's younger brother is the prince. Now he has conflicts with Li Chuan, and he doesn't know what Li Rong thinks.

Li Rong is smart, but he also values ​​affection. Li Ming has held her in his hand for many years, and he has also shown affection. If it is not for power, he also hopes that this child will live well.

He was silent for a long time, but finally didn't ask directly, turning the corner: "I saw four people this time, which one do you see?"

Li Rong did not speak, Li Ming hesitated, and slowly said, "What do you think of Pei Wenxuan?"

Li Rong lowered his head and said nothing, Li Ming raised his eyes, rather impatient: "Reply."

"Erchen thinks that others are nice."

The person is very good, but the others are bad. Li Ming thought about it for a moment, and then slowly said: "You only need to think about whether this person likes it or not. Leave the other things alone."

Hearing this, Li Rong's tears fell down, seeming to be wronged by the heavens.

Seeing Li Rong's tears, Li Ming hurriedly said, "Why are you crying?"

"Father," Li Rong sobbed, "My daughter just thinks, why can't the family be well..."

Li Ming understood what Li Rong said, thinking that it was the queen who put pressure on Li Rong and asked her to speak nice things to Yang Quan. Although he and the queen had a lot of disputes, they never involved this daughter. Now that the marriage is about to happen, he has to have a fight. Seeing Li Rong crying with pears and rain, he also feels distressed, and finally said: "This is something. , It’s me and your mother’s queen that are wrong. You don’t have to think about it, just don’t know. You choose one you like, and the father and the emperor always follow you. You and Pei Wenxuan have been alone all night, and it is reasonable that you He is regarded as his own. He is a good child and a good-looking man. You will not suffer by marrying him."

Li Rong nodded in response, and Li Ming sighed: "Don't cry, pack up and think about what I have said. When Yang Quan's case is finished, I will point you to the marriage."

"Yes."

Li Rong controlled the voice and raised her head and said, "All children and officials listen to the father."

Li Ming comforted Li Rong for a while, then let her get up and called Fulai to send Li Rong out. After hearing Li Ming's words, Fulai laughed and said, "Where can I get the minion to send it? Master Pei was outside waiting for the princess, waiting It's been a long time."

Hearing this, Li Ming and Li Rong both showed a bit of amazement. After a while, Li Ming laughed: "This kid, I'm here to abduct my daughter in front of me."

Having said that, Li Ming still urged: "Okay, you go, don't let me, the old man, delay you young people."

Li Rong showed embarrassment, bowed, and stepped back.

She left the imperial study room all the way to the corridor, and saw Pei Wenxuan waiting for her in front of the railing. He was wearing a azure blue long-sleeved gown with silver silk embroidered moiré patterns on it, and he raised a palace lantern, looking up at the moon in the sky.

Pei Wenxuan's appearance was born with a kind of immortal energy that no stranger should enter. At this moment, holding the lamp and looking at the moon, the wind is blowing in the gown, it is like a man in the moon palace going down, and he wants to take the wind at any time.

Fulai took Li Rong to the door and respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, the old slave will be sent here. For the rest of the road, I will ask Master Pei to be your company."

Li Rong nodded, and said calmly, "Go ahead."

Fulai responded and stepped back. Pei Wenxuan turned his head and looked at her up and down. Then he walked up with the lamp and stopped in front of her.

He was born tall, and when he looked at her, he bowed his head and looked at her carefully.

Seeing him carefully studying herself, Li Rong felt embarrassed somehow, turned her head and whispered, "What are you looking at?"

"Crying."

Pei Wenxuan nodded, said his own conclusion, and said with emotion: "His Royal Highness is better than Weichen."

Hearing this, Li Rongdun became a little angry, and laughed mockingly: "Where is it comparable to Master Pei, who can bend and stretch, and be both wise and brave."

Killing on the front foot and crying miserably on the back foot, with such a two-sided style, Pei Wenxuan can move forward and retreat freely.

The two of them were talking, but the attendants behind did not dare to get too close, so the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, half step in the imperial city. Pei Wenxuan walked and said: "Let's make a long story short."

With that, Pei Wenxuan briefly finished his dialogue with Li Ming, and concluded: "Yang Quan's matter is over, your Majesty will push the Northwest matter to His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness can handle this matter, the matter of military power. , His Royal Highness does not need to worry anymore."

"How can it be done?" Li Rong Xiaofan knocked his hands and said calmly, "That is to be abolished directly, and to be relegated to a commoner would count as forgiving him. Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong squinted at him with a smile, "This You can bet that you are bold enough."

"If I am not brave," Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong's words with a calm expression and calmly said, "Dare to marry you?"

"That's true," Li Rong nodded, "marrying me is not easy, it is very dangerous."

"Marrying you is not dangerous enough," Pei Wenxuan replied solemnly, "It's you, too fierce and dangerous."

"That's what you asked to marry." Li Rong glared at him, then speeded up and walked forward.

Pei Wenxuan realized that she was really angry, and was afraid that she would go wrong and do something crazy, so he didn't turn back, touched her nose, hurried to catch up, and then said: "Yes, yes, I am asking to marry your Highness. However, Your Highness," the smile in his voice gradually lost, a little more serious, "Weichen has something to ask your Highness."

"put!"

Li Rong spoke coldly, Pei Wenxuan smiled lightly, and looked at her a little bit: "Weichen wanted to ask, just now in the royal study room, what does your Highness want Su Rongqing to inspect this case?"

Li Rongdun stayed at the footsteps, Pei Wenxuan was holding the palace lantern, and turned to look at her: "How does your Royal Highness want to supervise? It is to investigate this case all day, call Master Su over, follow the investigation every day, or invite Master Su every day Come over and discuss it, see you every day and check it out?"

"Also," Pei Wenxuan seemed to remember something, and thought carefully, "The princess feels that it is a bit inappropriate to investigate this case and the minister is there? If this is not the case, the princess and Master Su will investigate together?"

Li Rong didn't speak, she raised her eyes to Pei Wenxuan, Pei Wenxuan smiled, Li Rong said blankly: "Pei Wenxuan."

"Huh?" Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and Li Rong said coldly, "Can you be more pretentious?"

Pei Wenxuan's expression froze, Li Rong raised her hand, pinched a short section with her index finger and thumb, leaned in front of him, and said seriously: "Look carefully, what is this?"

"What?" Pei Wenxuan frowned.

Li Rong had a serious face, and made a loud voice: "Your heart!"
