When Li Rong heard this, she stood up subconsciously, and then remembered that she is now confined and cannot get out at all. She took a deep breath and said to Jinglan: "Let people go out to inquire about the situation, and come back at all times. I report. Let people stare at the hall. Once the news of the pardon of Qin comes out from the hall, immediately let all the inspectors clean the imperial road and let the messenger pass through to the field."

Jinglan replied, and then retreated. Li Rong stood there, after a while, turned her head to look at Su Rongqing, who was looking down at the chessboard. She walked back to her original position and sat down and said, "Master Su, the husband has already came back."

"Ok."

Su Rongqing whispered: "Weichen heard it."

"Just those words..."

"His Royal Highness has never said that I will be a minister." Su Rongqing's expression was very calm, and Li Rong should nod.

According to Su Rongqing's personality, it was nothing more than Pei Wenxuan's death that he could say those things.

Pei Wenxuan is dead, and he wants to keep her...

But why did he leave her? Leave a princess who has lost power and has clearly broken with the prince?

Li Rong thought, a little hard to understand. She raised her eyes and glanced at Su Rongqing, thinking about Pei Wenxuan's return. Su Rongqing saw that she was absent-minded, and only said: "Since Master Pei is back, naturally he won't come back in vain. Your Highness need not worry. too much."

With that said, Su Rongqing buckled the chess piece onto the chessboard and said slowly: "His Royal Highness might as well give a thin face and finish the game."

Li Rong didn't speak, she looked at Su Rongqing quietly. There are many differences between Su Rongqing today and usual. It is more like Su Rongqing who was somewhat indulgent in her memory after being drunk.

A little less rules, a little more abnormal.

Li Rong hesitated for a moment, walked back to the chessboard, raised his hand and said, "Please."

When Li Rong and Su Rongqing were playing against the tower, Pei Wenxuan drove his horse and whip and galloped into the palace, then turned over and dismounted, and ran towards the hall, screaming: "Your Majesty, Qin has been wronged, and the sword will stay!"

At the moment when the early dynasty had just begun, Pei Wenxuan’s shouts came all the way from outside the hall. Everyone looked back and saw the young man dressed in blue, with muddy corners, holding a roll of paper in his hand, and walking from outside the hall. .

"Pei Wenxuan?"

Li Ming was shocked when he saw the incoming person. The expressions of the officials present were different. Pei Wenxuan panted heavily and bowed down in salute: "Have seen your majesty, long live your majesty."

"You..." Li Ming said in disbelief. The phrase "Aren't you dead?" He didn't say it. He remembered that Li Rong had declared sick leave to Pei Wen. He endured it for a while before changing his words, "Aren't you still paying? Are you sick?"

"Report to your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, "His Royal Highness should have said to your Majesty that the Weichen said that he was ill, but he actually went out of Beijing in secret to thoroughly investigate the case of Qin. After the Weichen came out of Beijing, he noticed that someone was following, in order to conceal others. After falling off the cliff, he was able to go to the northwest and thoroughly investigate the Qin clan's case. Now that the Weichen has obtained evidence of Qin clan's injustice, his Majesty also asks his majesty to send someone to the court immediately and let the execution officer keep someone under his sword."

When Li Ming heard this, he immediately reacted and said anxiously: "Quickly, go to the execution ground and leave the Qin family behind!"

The **** was ordered and hurried out immediately. Several veteran officials frowned and gave the **** behind him a look, and the **** standing behind the curtain quietly retreated.

The **** passed the order and left the palace. Not long after he walked out of the palace gate, he saw a wave of killers rushing forward.

The **** was so shocked that he drove back quickly. Seeing a feather arrow flying, the **** couldn't avoid avoiding it, and his eyes widened in shock. At this moment, a knife rushed out from the side, split the feather arrow, and grabbed the eunuch. Throwing it to himself, he said anxiously: "My lord, I am here to protect my lord with the orders of the inspector, or my lord will come with me."

As he said, the guard led the eunuchs through the crowd to fight all the way. The alley was densely packed with killers. These people were entangled with the inspectors and killed in the alley.

When the **** was blocked on the road, the other team quickly went out of the palace and went straight to the field. They reached the field in advance and found a guard. He whispered a few words in the ear of the guard, and the guard immediately went up. Before, I found the Superintendent and said something in a low voice.

The supervising officer frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"The hour has come," the supervisor suddenly stretched out his hand to take the token with the word "Zhan", raised his hand and threw it to the ground, "Zhan..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard a hoarse shout from the crowd: "My lord, the hour has not yet arrived."

The officer in charge did not expect that someone would blatantly challenge him in this way. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Zhan Li Jue!"

The executioner seemed to know the time was wrong. He hesitated. Seeing that the executioner was not moving, the executioner slapped the table abruptly: "What are you doing in a daze, the officer asked you to cut it!"

The executioner caught the anger of his boss and did not dare to delay any longer. He raised his hand to remove the sign behind Qin Lin on the far side, raised his big knife, and the knife fell for a moment. A young man in the crowd rushed out and kicked him. Kicked away, then raised his hand with a sword to cut Qin Lin's rope, and at the same time threw a sword over.

"Prisoner robbed!"

The soldier reacted instantly and rushed up.

After Xun Chuan whispered "Save people", he lifted his feet and kicked the soldiers who rushed up, holding their swords in front of the Qin's elder, and said angrily: "The hour has not come, you dare to kill people in advance, What a courage!"

"Catch me!"

Seeing that the scene was in chaos, the slaying officer was panicked for a while, and said loudly: "The eyes are lawless, this is a prisoner! Stop them, stop them all!"

The officer in charge shouted, the soldiers rushed towards the high platform, Xun Chuan stopped the people, Qin Lin stumbled to save the people, the two cooperated and protected the Qin family and made a mess on the execution platform. Flying dog jumps.

At this moment, an **** was guarded by everyone, galloping over, holding the imperial decree, and shouting: "Keep people! Keep people under the knife!"

Two swords, lights, swords and shadows in Huajing, on the North Yan Pagoda, showed an unexpected tranquility.

"Master Su is very interested today." Li Rong dropped the chess piece, and listened to the sound of the copper bell outside in the wind, and said slowly, "I am willing to play chess with this palace."

"Weichen is willing to accompany His Highness to play chess at any time." Su Rongqing looked at the chessboard and said naturally, "Furthermore, Weichen thought, His Highness should have many questions to ask the Weichen, so he stayed here."

"Master Su is right." Li Rong laughed. "There are indeed many problems in this palace. I want to ask Master Su for advice."

"His Royal Highness, please speak."

"I don't understand what Master Su said just now." Li Rong and Su Rongqing alternated with chess pieces. "Why Master Su wants to marry me? Even if Pei Wenxuan is dead, I will be remarried, and now I and the prince have already broken. It doesn’t make much sense for Master Su to marry me. Why is it so troublesome to marry a second-married woman."

Su Rongqing did not speak, and Li Rong thought about it: "At the beginning of my acquaintance, Master Su had the intention of taking refuge in the prince. With so much effort to protect me, do you still want to use me to maintain the relationship with the prince? But why is the Su family so important The relationship with the prince? The prince has a gentle personality and doesn't need to..."

"Your Highness," Su Rongqing interrupted her, "Do you have to link everything with power?"

Li Rong's movements stopped, Su Rongqing raised her eyes and stared at Li Rong quietly: "I don't want to be an enemy of His Highness. I hope that His Highness will live well. For such a simple reason, can't it?"

Li Rong stared at Su Rongqing in a daze. The birds flew by outside, from the North Yan Pagoda, all the way to the main hall.

Above the hall, Pei Wenxuan had submitted the accounts he had checked along the road, and the confessions of the people in Huangping County on the record of the war.

"Your Majesty, the minister visited the county government offices passing by and copied down the specific grain and grass records of each county government that year. According to the records of the Ministry of War, Huangping County had a total of three thousand soldiers. Before the war began, one grain was allocated. Ten thousand stones are provided for one month's ration, but in fact, when they arrive in Huangping County, there are less than 3,000 shi for grain and grass. When the grain and grass reach every county, there is one point less, and in several large counties, there is not much left. These counties are recorded. According to the account, the amount of grain received in each county is less than the amount reported in the previous county. After checking, each county reported the total amount of rations due to other counties, but the actual grain received in each county was recorded as The records of Huangping County can be matched. It can be seen that the data of 3,000 shi in Huangping County’s grain is true, and the 10,000 shi recorded by the Ministry of War is probably wrong."

"In addition to the food records, the Weichen also searched for local soldiers and people, and recorded confessions from the First World War. In the first World War, the soldiers had been starved for more than half before the war, and they were unable to fight. In that case, the Qin family still It was able to protect the people in the city to retreat early, and there were no major casualties. Not only should they not be punished, they should also be rewarded so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers at the border.

"Weichen begs your Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice, "A thorough investigation of the corruption of military payments in Huangping County back then."

As soon as Pei Wenxuan spoke, the Minister of War hurriedly jumped out and said loudly: "Framework! This is a naked frame!"

"Is it framed?" Pei Wenxuan raised his head and exclaimed passionately, "I will find out after investigation!"

"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan kowtowed on the ground, said loudly, "please also thoroughly investigate the Penal Department, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Yushitai, and return the Qin family to be innocent, and give justice to the border soldiers!"

Li Ming didn't speak, and everyone was silent.

The evidence that Pei Wenxuan brought back was too much and too real. At this moment, no one wanted to make an appearance at this time.

But there are many evidences and many people involved. Those who participated in the long silence, seeing no one speaking, finally couldn't help rushing out, Yushitai Wen Ping was the first to bear the brunt, and said angrily: "Pei Wenxuan, what do you mean? Xingbubinghuhubu Yushitai , Are you saying that the entire imperial court united to deceive the higher and lower to frame the Qin family and pay back? Where did the Qin family come from such a big face? And you, as a supervisory official, you are not in your job, cheating the emperor and leaving Beijing in vain, Falsify a bunch of evidence and come back to deceive the saint. Do you think the saint will be deceived by you?"

"Yes," Wen Ping raised his head, and other officials hurriedly came out and panicked, "You check the accounts? You are a supervisory official, where does the authority come from to check the accounts of so many counties? Why do others give you these accounts? Where did it come from? I haven't explained it from the truth!

"Your Majesty," Wen Ping turned to look at Li Ming and knelt down. "Pei Wenxuan neglected his duty and deceived the ruler and broke the law. His father Pei Lizhi and Qin's family are family friends. Now, for personal gain, he does not hesitate to forge evidence, but he hopes his majesty will observe it. Punish!"

After that, many people knelt down with Wen Ping, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, look at it!"

Li Ming didn't speak, Pei Wenxuan knelt on the ground, silent.

In fact, everyone at the scene knew that in front of such evidence, whether Li Ming should investigate it is not a question of evidence at all, but whether Li Ming can do it or whether he wants to do it.

The aristocratic family is a sword hanging above Li Ming's head. If he pushes too hard, the sword may fall.

The family bet on Li Ming's fear, and Li Ming is indeed afraid.

He just wants to balance the family, but only balance, not a complete shake.

He doesn't dare now, and can't.

The fold that Pei Wenxuan gave him was enough to cut the rope of the sword and let it fall.

Pei Wenxuan knelt on the ground, waiting for Li Ming's decision. After Li Ming didn't say anything for a long time, he heard Pei Wenxuan say: "Your Majesty."

"Frontier soldiers, guard not only the frontier, but also the mountains and rivers of Daxia."

This is a hint and reminds Li Ming that if the frontier matters are not handled well, what will be shaken is the foundation of Daxia.

Li Ming held Pei Wenxuan's folder. After a long time, he finally said: "Pei Aiqing has worked hard all the way, this case is important, I will think about it again. You are also tired, go and rest first."

"Yes."

Pei Wenxuan salutes respectfully. After he got up, he was about to leave. He listened to Li Ming said: "Pingle is now forbidden in Beiyan Pagoda. You go pick her up and go back together."

Pei Wenxuan was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Yes."

When Pei Wenxuan rushed to the Beiyan Pagoda, Su Rongqing and Li Rong had not finished playing the chess.

After Su Rongqing said the phrase "No?", she quietly looked at Li Rong and said no more.

After saying this, an ordinary person looked at the other person for the purpose of waiting for a response, but he looked at Li Rong, but really just looked at it.

Li Rong couldn't feel any desire in his eyes.

That gaze contained many complex emotions, but no matter what it contained, it had lost the hope of responding to her.

It seems that he just told her, and it doesn't matter whether she responds or not.

Even her answer seemed redundant.

"Master Su..." Li Rong deliberated and wanted to speak, but Su Rongqing interrupted her before she could say anything to ease the atmosphere.

"His Royal Highness," he put his hand in the chess box, he seemed to be a little tired, and he turned the subject and said, "I just talked nonsense, your Highness, don't take it to heart. Your Royal Highness joins the family and assists the Prince to ascend the throne. This is you The best way. When you build the Supervisory Division, you must also have a yardstick. The struggle for power is all about swords, lights, and shadows. You must be careful."

Li Rong did not speak, and Su Rongqing stood up, with a steady tone: "Weichen lost this game, so let's leave without disturbing Your Highness."

Li Rong lowered his eyes, looking at the chess face that was actually undecided.

Su Rongqing turned and walked out. Before reaching the door, Li Rong suddenly called him: "Su Rongqing."

Su Rongqing stopped, Li Rong looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, she wanted to say something.

She wanted to ask him if he liked him.

I wanted to ask him what he meant when he wanted her to live well and didn't want to be an enemy of her.

But when the words came to her lips, she felt that there were countless questions behind.

If he was really interested, why didn't he ask for a kiss?

With the power of the Su family, if he really spared his life to marry her, wouldn't it be necessary?

If he really likes her, he really has this thought...

Then he still saw her marrying Pei Wenxuan, and he could see this feeling.

What is the meaning of a friendship that you dare not even mention in front of the family, whether to ask or not, to answer or not to answer?

Many problems came oncoming, Li Rong suddenly lost his courage.

She was suddenly discouraged and waved her hand: "You go."

Su Rongqing did not speak, he stood for a while, and finally left.

When Pei Wenxuan heard that Li Rong was in the North Yan Pagoda without changing his clothes, he hurried to the Bei Yan Pagoda. As soon as he entered the courtyard of the North Yan Pagoda, he saw Su Rongqing walking out of it.

Pei Wenxuan was taken aback for a while, and then he realized that Su Rongqing should have come to see Li Rong.

Pei Wenxuan frowned, and Su Rongqing stopped when he saw Pei Wenxuan.

The two stared at each other. After a while, Pei Wenxuan laughed and saluted: "Su Shilang."

"Pei Yushi."

"Shi Lang Su is not in the morning court today?"

Pei Wenxuan greeted him and glanced at the North Yan Pagoda inadvertently: "Come to the North Yan Pagoda for a stroll, it is very elegant."

"I have something to ask your Highness."

Su Rongqing spoke plainly, and Pei Wenxuan laughed: "It must be an urgent matter."

Su Rongqing did not speak. The wind gently brushed the surrounding dry grass. Su Rongqing stared at Pei Wenxuan's eyes. After a long time, he suddenly said, "What are you afraid of me?"

"I'm afraid of you?" Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "What nonsense Su Shilang said during the day?"

"You are afraid that I will see Your Highness."

Su Rongqing spoke directly, Pei Wenxuan's expression suddenly became cold: "Su Shilang speaks carefully."

"Is not it?"

Su Rongqing put her hands in her sleeves, and said calmly: "If it weren't for your majesty's fear of your relatives, you would not even be able to touch the corners of the princess' clothes for the rest of your life. Do you think the person next to the princess will have your turn?"

"Pei Yushi, are you curious about what I said to your Highness," Su Rongqing said, leaning in the direction of Pei Wenxuan, he attached to Pei Wenxuan's ear, and whispered, "I told your Highness," Su Rongqing Lowered his voice, "I am willing to marry her."

When Pei Wenxuan listened, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Unfortunately you are back."

Su Rongqing's voice was a little cold: "But if you have to pull His Royal Highness and the aristocratic family right, and put His Royal Highness in such a dangerous situation, Pei Wenxuan, you won't always have such good luck."

With that said, Su Rongqing raised her hand and patted Pei Wenxuan's shoulder gently: "I'll do it for myself."

After Su Rongqing finished speaking, he left calmly.

Pei Wenxuan stood quietly, and he felt that the weather in October was indeed a bit cold.

He suddenly wanted to see Li Rong, so eagerly, expectantly, to see her.

But when he thought of seeing her, he felt a little frightened and frightened for no reason.

If she is afraid of her opening, tell him Su Rongqing to beg her, and tell him she wants to agree to Su Rongqing.

She was afraid that as soon as they met, she would let him know that in this relationship, he had been left early.

This was the case in the previous life, and this time too.

This panic made him stand in place, not daring to move for a long time.

While Li Rong sat on the tower, she drank tea for a while, then listened to Jinglan's happy voice: "His Royal Highness, the consort is under the tower."

Li Rong laughed instantly when she heard this, she hurriedly got up, walked to the window, and she saw Pei Wenxuan standing under the tower, not knowing what she was doing.

"This fool."

Li Rong pursed her lips and cursed, and then trot down the stairs while carrying her skirt.

When she ran to the first floor, she couldn't help but breathe a little, and pretended to be calm and the doorman said: "The horse came to pick me up, open the door."

The soldiers guarding the gate naturally knew that Li Rong's ban was just doing it. The early news had already passed through the North Yan Pagoda. These soldiers hurriedly opened the door to Li Rong.

The scarlet door made a "creak" sound as it opened. Pei Wenxuan turned his head and saw the scarlet door opened inch by inch, revealing the slender figure behind the door.

She wore a wide-sleeved, wide-sleeved dress with white gauze and blue borders printed with white plums. She had long hair and was draped. Only a small part of her hair was half-pulled by a hosta.

She looked at him with a smile, with a bit of teasing in her eyes, and the whole person fell in his heart and melted away, making his whole heart soft.

Regardless of any emotions, frustration, panic, anxiety, and panic, the moment he saw that person's smile, they all forgot, and he stared at her blankly, as if seeing a mortal.

Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan in front of him. The young man was dressed in cyan cloth and had stubble on his face. It seemed that he had a rare moment of embarrassment in his life, but he didn't know what was happening. On the contrary, he added a bit more truthfulness and moved people's hearts.

Li Rong looked at him with a smile, and then couldn't help her smile slowly as she touched the muddy, swollen palms on his body and the wounds on his face.

There was a silent distress spreading in her heart, and she suddenly wanted to hug him, but she felt too gloomy.

She screamed: "Pei Wenxuan."

At that moment, the young man seemed to be awakened. Before Li Rong could say anything, he hurried forward and took the person into his arms.

Li Rong was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Pei Wenxuan seem to be thankful, and shouted in a low voice: "Rongrong."

"I'm back, I'll take you home."

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Su Rongqing: "Pei Wenxuan, if you dare to put her in a dangerous situation, you won't be so lucky forever."

Pei Wenxuan: "What's the matter, you have the final say on my luck? If you are not lucky, go far, don't infect me. I want to take my wife home."

Su Rongqing: "..."

Pei Wenxuan: "Also, just pretend to be forceful in the text. The small theater also pretends to me. Don't you know that I have ooc rights in the small theater?"

Su Rongqing: "For example, slap me?"

Pei Wenxuan: "Not only can I beat you, I can also beat you."
