The Grand Princess

Chapter 73: friend

Li Rong had long known that Xun Chuan was coming to ask about this. After she was silent for a while, she said slowly: "Tomorrow, I will write a booklet and participate in the dereliction of duty by officials of the Yushitai and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Negligence of duty?"

Xun Chuan repeated: "His Royal Highness meant, did they just neglect their duties?"

Li Rong remained silent. Facing Xun Chuan’s question, she felt an unconcealed sense of powerlessness. She opened and closed the folding fan in her hand. After a long time, she slowly said, “Xunchuan, it’s not that I don’t want to do it. I can not do it."

She raised her eyes to Xun Chuan and said seriously, "I'm sorry."

Xun Chuan was stunned, and she looked at Li Rong incredulously: "His Royal Highness, you are Princess Pingle, the Superintendent."

"It's all just fame." Li Rong smiled bitterly. "Without real strength, no amount of fame is useless. Do you know why I can investigate this case now? Not because I am Princess Pingle, let alone because I am The chief inspector, but behind me are the prince and his majesty. Because I am the eldest sister of the prince and the princess supported by his majesty. The family is afraid that the prince will alienate them and the emperor will blame them, so they dare not kill me. They dare not kill me. Why are you afraid of the prince and your majesty? That's because your majesty is the majesty of the people of the world. His majesty has military power, financial power, and the right to decide whether others are officials; and the prince also has the power to decide the promotion of others, supported by Shangguanshi. On the other hand, the Shangguan family had a government army, a large amount of land, and officials serving in the court."

"Money, military power, these are the real foundations. Only with these can their destiny be determined and become the real director of the inspection department as you know it."

"Qin's case, if you want to investigate thoroughly, you need to thoroughly investigate the entire Yushitai and the Criminal Department," Li Rong analyzed, "this is not something I can do."

Xun Chuan listened to Li Rong's words, she couldn't help squeezing her fists, she said with some difficulty: "In this world...isn't there a place where justice can be recovered?"

As she said, she looked up at Li Rong: "I want to be fair, is it so difficult?"

Li Rong listened to her and looked at Xun Chuan's painful eyes. Li Rong suddenly felt so tired. She couldn't bear to speak, but she still wanted to answer: "Difficult."

Xun Chuan was stunned. Li Rong looked at Xun Chuan's appearance and felt a little unspeakable in her heart. She turned her head away and said flatly, "But that's not the case. I will play tomorrow. After that, the officials handling the matter will be punished according to their guilt. After a while, Aya will bring the list of people involved in this matter. After you get the list, "Li Rong was silent for a moment and said slowly," Just do what you want."

When Xun Chuan heard this, he looked at Li Rong in surprise. Li Rong brought the tea and said, "After you finish, you can't stay in Huajing. Just go to the northwest as I told you before."

Xun Chuan listened to Li Rong's words, she slowed down for a long time, she knew this was the best way, but she didn't know how, she still felt something was pressing on her chest.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand in front of her forehead, knelt in front of Li Rong, kowtowed slowly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, your lord."

Li Rong lowered her eyes and said, "Yes."

Xun Chuan stood up and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, leave the humble position first."

Li Rong didn't look at her, but said, "Go."

Xun Chuan walked outside the door, and when he reached the door, Li Rong couldn't help calling her: "Xun Chuan."

Xun Chuan stopped. Li Rong looked at her back standing in front of the door. She tightened her lips. After a long time, she said slowly, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, it's not your highness," Xun Chuan turned his back to her, his voice a little dazed, "this world."

"Actually, I don't understand," Xun Chuan said. Looking back, she looked at Li Rong who was sitting at the table, her eyes were confused, "Isn't justice something that this world should have? Why is it so difficult? ?"

She had already abandoned her identity, changed her name and surname, and went for life and death.

According to people’s legends and scripts, her family should not be wronged in the court, and those who have harmed them should be upright and obediently punished.

Why does she even punish the wrongdoer in private, for fear of disturbing the world and doing it silently?

Li Rong listened to her, she was silent, and Xun Chuan looked into her eyes with all questions. At that moment, she seemed to see Su Rongqing from the previous life, kneeling in front of her, smiling and asking her: "Your Highness, What is Su's fault?"

"Justice is what this world should have," Li Rong said grimly, "Not now."

"When is that?"

Xun Chuan asked again, but Li Rong couldn't answer for a while. Xun Chuan took a deep breath and saluted Li Rong: "Sorry, Your Highness."

"It's okay."

Li Rong looked down and waved: "You go to rest first."

Xun Chuan answered. After she went out, Li Rong sat where she was. After a long time, she raised her hand and pushed away everything on the table.

When Pei Wenxuan came in, he only heard a loud bang, and saw that the contents of the case were pushed to the ground by Li Rong. He was a little surprised, stepped into the house, bent over and picked up the overturned inkstone, laughing. He placed it on Li Rong's desk: "What's wrong with your Highness, so angry?"

"It's nothing," Li Rong lowered her eyes, she slowly raised her hand to pick up the folds by her feet, and whispered, "Your folds have been approved? During your sick leave time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of accumulation. Is it something?"

"Not yet, I just heard that Master Xun has just left. I'll see how your Highness is." As he said, Pei Wenxuan squatted down, tilted his body, looked at Li Rong from the bottom up, smiled and said, "I just saw it. Your Highness lost his temper."

"I didn't lose my temper," Li Rong said with a cold face, "Go do your thing."

"His Royal Highness is duplicity again."

Pei Wenxuan smiled and looked at her: "I am obviously angry."

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong raised her eyes to look at him and warned, "Aren't you busy?"

Seeing that she was really angry, Pei Wenxuan didn't make a joke. He straightened up, and while packing the papers, he whispered in a low voice: "His Royal Highness does not say it, so let me guess."

"You get out."

"Master Xun's character has always been stubborn, and the case cannot be handled clearly. Master Xun is afraid that there is a grudge in her heart. Did she quarrel with His Highness?"

"Wrong guess, go out."

Li Rong took the zipper from the side, picked up the pen on the pen holder, opened the zipper, pretending to be serious.

Pei Wenxuan didn't care, he arranged the table, picked up the things on the ground one by one, put them on the table, and arranged them neatly.

The process he did these things was like picking up Li Rong’s heart. He gently picked up the folds, piled them up, and gently smoothed them, and said slowly: "Then, Master Xun has accepted His Highness’s thoughts. Complaint?"

Li Rong did not speak, Pei Wenxuan chuckled, "If this is the case, your Highness must be blaming himself."

"get out!"

"You got it right." Pei Wenxuan was happy. Li Rong squeezed the pen tightly and stared at him warningly. Pei Wenxuan laughed and shook his head somewhat helplessly, "You."

As he said, he stretched out his hand and held the person in his arms. Li Rong was a bit angry, but when he pulled him into his arms, she suddenly felt aggrieved by this person.

This is an experience she has never had before.

She was young when she was with Pei Wenxuan in her previous life and rarely involved in political affairs. Later, the two also parted ways. When it comes to sad things, it is good if this person doesn't ridicule, where there is such a tender time.

Li Rong leaned on his chest, he didn't speak, and after quietly hugging the person for a while, he said slowly: "Your Royal Highness is not happy, just tell me."

"Prefer not to say."

"Last life, when you were ill, I asked the imperial doctor," Pei Wenxuan held the person in his arms, thinking of the last time of his last life, his tone couldn't help but soften a lot. "The imperial doctor said you were frustrated. I was too worried. I was a boring gourd all my life, no one listened to you. Now I am here, can't you talk about it?"

Li Rong leaned against Pei Wenxuan, she closed her eyes, and after a long time, she said: "I thought you were eager for me to die at that time."

"I thought about it when I quarreled," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "but I feel a little sad when I think about it. I think you, the old witch, should live a long life."

When Li Rong heard this, she couldn't help laughing. Pei Wenxuan heard her laugh and knew she was happy. He thought about it and bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, in this life, you really live a long life. "

She was in poor health in the last life. She was on the sickbed in the winter. He sometimes went to see her and heard news of her illness. He was standing at the door talking to her about affairs and listening to her coughing. Intermittently.

He didn't want to experience such a thing again. He wanted Li Rong in this life to live in old age and be able to be safe and stable without suffering from illness.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but hug Li Rong a little bit tightly. Li Rong noticed his emotions, she leaned on him, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Pei Wenxuan, what use is the princess?"

Pei Wenxuan embraced her and listened quietly. Li Rong was still a little jerky when she talked about these things, but she leaned on this person and heard him say that he wants her to live a good life, she didn't hold back and said Come.

"Xun Chuan asked me, asking for justice is something the world should have, how could it be so difficult. In fact, I think she is naive to ask, where is there true justice in this world, but when she asks me that, I feel sad Now, is it me who is naive?"

As Li Rong said, she couldn't help laughing: "What do these things do to me? She is a teenager, she should be innocent, how old I am, how can I feel sad because of this?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak. After a while, he slowly said: "His Royal Highness, do you remember that when I sent Yang Lie out, you asked me, and you said that when I was young, I wanted the people to live better, and finally I'm still arguing with you for private rights. I didn't argue with your Highness at that time, but I was actually afraid of your Highness's jokes."

Hearing this, Li Rong looked up at him, a bit strange. Pei Wenxuan looked at the 18-year-old girl, and he smiled softly: "Actually, I am also a few dozen years old, and my heart is the same as your Highness. "

"Seeing injustice makes me feel sad."

"Seeing the people drifting away will make me sad."

"Seeing soldiers fighting on the battlefield but not returning, I will also think about when there will be a peaceful and prosperous world, and everyone will live a stable life."

"Of course I am not a saint, what a good person, I want to survive first, and live a good life, my family is safe and stable, and then I think about this. Even I am much more cowardly than your Highness and care about gains and losses."

Pei Wenxuan said, and sighed: "Like the case of the Su family back then, I also feel that it is inappropriate, but I dare not dissuade like His Highness, for fear of losing the Sacred Heart. In the end, it is also because your Majesty felt guilty towards His Highness. I was afraid that something might happen to your majesty, so I persuaded your majesty."

"I dare not say this to others, especially my Highness, for fear that your Highness will laugh at me."

"What's the funny thing about this?" Li Rong laughed, "You have a good heart, it's a good thing."

"So," Pei Wenxuan turned around and returned her words to her, "Your Highness has a good heart, it's a good thing."

Li Rong was stunned, she realized it only then, Pei Wenxuan went around and talked about such a big circle, in fact, to persuade her.

Seeing that she was silent, Pei Wenxuan helped her get up, sat on the small couch on one side, arranged her skirt, half kneeled in front of her, and looked up at her: "Your Majesty, there is no justice in this world. There are only rules set by the strong. Whatever your Highness wants, just go and do it, don’t be sad. After all," Pei Wenxuan laughed, put his hand on Li Rong’s cheek, and said gently, "His Royal Highness is only 18 years old now. Yeah."

"You still have a good future, and the propaganda will always accompany you. The world you want will definitely come."

Li Rong was silent, watching the youth in front of her.

His eyes are darker than ordinary people, like an ink color, and they are a bit brighter than ordinary people.

In fact, Li Rong also knows that Pei Wenxuan's stand is too different from her, and he has a deep heart. The future he promised cannot be trusted.

It was not that he deliberately wanted to lie to her, but that the future was never controlled by others.

Today they are still cooperating, the contradiction is not obvious, but one day, their differences will show up. Pei Wenxuan may have forgotten what happened after the previous life, but she still remembers it.

Pei Wenxuan has his political ambitions, whether it is because of what he calls "childishness" or what she thinks is "selfishness", he is a different person from her after all.

But he didn't know why, at this moment he looked up to her, sincerely and softly said to accompany her, she unexpectedly felt an unspeakable movement.

She hopes they can stay at this moment.

There is no desire, no estrangement, he is with her, he is Pei Wenxuan.

And she wouldn't want too much, as long as he could give so much, she would think it was enough.

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong whispered and couldn't help laughing, "No matter if what you said today is true or false, I thank you."

"Regardless of whether your Highness believes it or not," Pei Wenxuan looked at her without paying any attention, and said softly, "What I said is true."

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong looked at him, "Then I promise you one thing?"

"Ok?"

Pei Wenxuan was a little dazed, Li Rong calmed down and said calmly: "No matter what the future is, at least I will stand with you before Chuan Er ascends the throne."

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan's face suddenly changed, and Li Rong said gently: "You and I will always be friends, so don't worry."

The author has something to say: Pei Wenxuan: "You want to be friends with me after I have told you so many good things? No way!"
