"Yeah," Shangguanya saw Su Ronghua, and recovered from her brief astonishment, "Why is Su Da Gongzi here?"
With that said, Shangguan Ya elegantly straightened her skirt, and when she saw that her left leg was pressing on her right leg, Erlang's legs were lifted up, and she supported her chin, and said with a smile, "Eldest Young Master Su escaped?"
"You count me."
Su Ronghua spoke directly, and Shangguanya chuckled lightly: "Why does Young Master Su say that? This is called Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer."
Hearing this, Su Ronghua laughed angrily, "You're not afraid to offend me."
"It's like if I don't do this, I just don't want to offend you. Everyone knows what you're doing here," Shangguan Ya smiled, but there was a bit of cold in his eyes. I mean, "You and I have different positions, so why pretend to be a good person? If I ask you to come out, I will trick you, aren't you trying to trick me?"
"What am I planning on you?" Su Ronghua clenched her fists, Shangguanya poured tea for herself, and said leisurely, "You have to ask yourself, why are you approaching me so diligently?"
Su Ronghua was stunned by these words, and he asked involuntarily, "Am I being diligent?"
"Follow me in the casino, the inspector is pestering me, writing letters and making fun of me," Shangguanya said one by one what Su Ronghua had done, then turned to look at him with a half-smile, "If I were an ordinary girl, I'm afraid I really have to think, do you like me? It's a pity, I'm very clear-headed. You are Mr. Su Wang, who was installed by His Majesty as the deputy chief inspector, whether it was the assassination of the princess, or the usual The resistance in the investigation case has your shadow behind it, if you like me," Shangguanya sighed, "that's really funny."
Su Ronghua didn't speak, he stared at Shangguanya.
It was the first time he knew that he had spent so much energy on this person invisibly.
He looked at Shangguanya's unfeeling eyes, he felt an unspeakable sourness spreading in his heart, and he asked involuntarily, "Don't you believe in feelings?"
Shangguanya was stunned for a while, and then said in surprise: "I've said all this, do you still think I'm easy to deceive?"
Su Ronghua stared at Shangguanya. He looked at her. After a long time, he suddenly spoke up and said slowly, "How pitiful."
"what?"
Shangguanya couldn't understand, so Su Ronghua repeated every word: "I said you, like the rest of this Huajing, are a pitiful worm."
"You have brains, but no hearts."
"Aren't you?" Shangguanya felt as if she was being scolded by him, and sneered, "Everyone has four pounds, what are you pretending to be?"
"Who is with you?!"
Su Ronghua raised his voice, "Like you, I sued you long ago when I met you in the casino! If a girl's house comes and goes in such a place, do you want your reputation?"
"Then say it," Shangguanya laughed, "you say it, you won't be able to contact this eldest lady of the Shangguan family, I just lose my reputation, wouldn't it be better for me to stay at home without my reputation? You think I think Marrying someone? But you are different, you will miss a good opportunity to contact me and take advantage of me. "
Su Ronghua nodded, and he kept smiling: "Awesome, very powerful, I misread you, I thought you were different from the people in Huajing."
"They are all people who grew up eating food, what's the difference?"
Shangguanya sneered: "Don't give money to yourself, and don't give money to me, if we are kind-hearted young ladies, Pei Wenxuan will not be the minister of personnel, and you will not be the inspector. But Tat for tat, the person next to you hit the person next to me, and I slapped you back, what are you calling for injustice?"
"You are right."
Su Ronghua nodded in response: "It's not wrong. I want to see, how can you really do anything to me with this trick?"
After finishing speaking, Su Ronghua jumped off the carriage, Shangguanya didn't raise her head, she raised her voice, "You won't be sent off if you walk slowly."
Hearing the sound of walking slowly, Su Ronghua paused in front of the carriage and said suddenly, "I just don't want to break your wings."
Shangguanya stopped pouring tea, and Su Ronghua's voice outside the carriage was very low: "I think you are alive when you gamble outside and scold people for tea."
After Su Ronghua finished speaking, he got on his horse and rode away.
The Shangguanya teapot hung in the air for a while, and finally fell down after a long time.
"Go back."
She spoke quietly.
When Shangguanya rushed over to the Shangguan Mansion, Li Rong's people had already been arranged layer by layer.
She can't get involved too much in this matter, it's better for Li Ming's people to handle it. The purpose of what they want is not to do anything to Su Ronghua. Officials who openly recruit prostitutes in Daxia are not considered a serious crime, and they will be fined for two days. How about it.
All they wanted was that Li Ming knew that Su Ronghua had contact with Xia Wensi.
This matter is not exquisite, Su Ronghua and Xia Wensi can completely bite themselves and be framed by others, but they can't provide evidence. The dance girl is a confidante that Su Ronghua likes to go to, and the teahouse is set in the name of Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua invited The note is still there, plus Li Ming's suspicion is first, there is no need to say more, Li Ming will have his own decision.
Li Rong counted Li Ming's thoughts and inquired about Su Ronghua's news all the way.
It didn't take long for the news that Su Ronghua had returned to the Su Mansion and was arrested. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were playing chess. She said slowly, "What did Su Ronghua say?"
Su Ronghua must argue, but how he argues is the key.
Jinglan hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Young Master Su didn't say anything."
"What do you mean?" Li Rong frowned, she raised her head, "What do you mean without saying anything?"
"After the eldest son of Su returned to the mansion, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that he had recruited a few dance girls outside, and he was slapped ten times by Su quite on the field, and he was sent to prison."
Li Rong got this, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Go on."
Jing Lan respectfully saluted, and then retreated. After Jinglan left, Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Rong: "What is Your Highness thinking?"
"I was thinking," Li Rong said slowly, "Why did Su Ronghua recognize him directly?"
"Because he knows it's useless to deny it now." Pei Wenxuan dropped his pawn, "He can't explain the note. If he admits that the note was written to Shangguanya, what Your Majesty wants is not that he colluded with the officials to frame His Highness, but It's the relationship between him and the Shangguan family."
"It's better to recognize it clearly," Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "The relationship between Concubine Rou and the Su family was established by His Majesty. Concubine Rou's permission to contact the officials to find trouble with us did not fundamentally disrupt the balance that His Majesty wanted. Your Majesty is just a little angry at most, but it won't really be the case."
"After all, in Your Majesty's heart, the Su family is the support of Concubine Rou, who is fighting against the Shangguan family behind the prince, the military power of Concubine Rou's brother in the northwest, and the military power of the noble family in the hands of the prince. After three years, King Su... "
Pei Wenxuan said, and the words stopped. Li Rong saw that he would not continue speaking, and looked up at him, rather strangely: "What's wrong?"
"I just think you know all this," Pei Wenxuan laughed. After hesitating for a moment, he said slowly, "I'll repeat it again, for fear that you will be sad."
Li Rong twisted the chess pieces, she thought for a moment, and said softly: "I'm not sad, it's been so many years."
"I might have complained back then, I would have hated Concubine Rou, Prince Su, and Hua Le, and thought they were disgusting," Li Rong said, placing the pieces on the chessboard, and said slowly, "But later I felt that they were also pitiful."
"My father paved the way for them, never because I loved them. My father suppressed me and Chuan'er, and never because he hated us. He didn't love anyone, and he didn't hate anyone. It's just the heart of an emperor, and he doesn't want the family to be alone. Just big."
Pei Wenxuan listened, and Li Rong turned the topic back: "Then what you said, Su Ronghua is actually taking retreat as his advance. The faster he recruits, the less suspicious his father will be of him?"
"Yes."
"However, there is actually one more point," Li Rong thought for a while, "Why is Su Ronghua so reckless? I remember that he is also a smart person."
Pei Wenxuan rubbed the pieces, as if hesitating.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Rong couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan said hesitantly, "When the eldest son of Su came here today, he specially dressed up."
"So what?" Li Rong was puzzled, but Pei Wenxuan laughed and reminded, "Master Su, I probably never thought that Miss Shangguan would design him."
"Isn't this a joke?" Li Rong was amused by Pei Wenxuan's words, "Which of the Su family is not a human being, even if he has a bit of a crush on Aya, can he really be stupid to think that Aya won't plot against him?"
Pei Wenxuan put the pieces on the chessboard with a gentle expression: "Your Highness, do you think I'm a smart person?"
"Of course it is."
Li Rong definitely opened her mouth, flipped the chess piece and landed next to Pei Wenxuan's chess piece. Pei Wenxuan smiled and raised his eyes: "But back then, before the last moment, I believed that His Highness would not shoot me."
Li Rong fell silent, Pei Wenxuan and her staggered, and his voice was calm: "You and Miss Aya both view people's hearts too badly, but many times, people are actually not as complete as Your Highness and Miss Shangguan thought. Full of reason. In the depths of a person's heart, there is always some inexplicable dependence and trust in others. Although the eldest son of Su is different from ours, he is a person with a true temperament. People, go through fire and water, do whatever they want. He admires Miss Shangguan and doesn't guard against her, isn't it normal?"
"You say that, you seem to know him well."
Li Rong raised her eyebrows. In his memory, Pei Wenxuan and Su Ronghua had a bad relationship. Pei Wenxuan pressed his sleeves aside and placed the chess piece at the farthest point of the chessboard: "Although I have never been in close contact with him, I was involved in the case of the Su family back then."
Li Rong's movements froze when she heard this. Pei Wenxuan noticed her strangeness and pretended not to know.
Li Rong didn't expect Pei Wenxuan to suddenly talk about these past events. She hesitated for a while. She didn't dare to ask, but she knew that this might be a hurdle that she would have to overcome one day.
She lowered her eyes: "Why?"
"Also because His Royal Highness suspects that Qin Zhenzhen died at the hands of Su Ronghua."
Hearing this, Li Rong suddenly raised her head and looked at Pei Wenxuan in shock: "How is this possible? Why did Su Ronghua kill her?!"
Back then, there were countless people who wanted to kill Qin Zhenzhen, for many reasons, but they couldn't get along with the Su family.
No women in the Su family entered the harem. Where did Su Ronghua poison Qin Zhenzhen
"I didn't understand it before, so I thought it was His Royal Highness that made a mistake."
Pei Wenxuan took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at Li Rong: "It wasn't until today that I finally confirmed that Su Ronghua might really have a reason."
Li Rong didn't dare to speak, but Pei Wenxuan just announced the answer: "In this life, Su Ronghua and Shangguanya were in the same casino. This happened before His Highness intervened in their relationship. Haven't they met in the last life?"
"Qin Zhenzhen died of poisoning. The mother and child should have died, but the child survived by chance. His Highness thought, who is the biggest beneficiary of this incident?"
No need for Pei Wenxuan to say more, Li Rong already understood.
"Aya... that's not such a person." Li Rong said with difficulty.
"Isn't it Shangguanya, what about Su Ronghua?" Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "According to the degree of Qin Zhenzhen's favor at that time, and His Majesty's attitude towards the noble family, the chances of Miss Shangguan's child being established as the heir are too small."
"Su Ronghua never married until his death in his last life. When I checked him, all the dancers who had contact with him said that he only enjoyed singing and dancing, and did not talk about love. If it wasn't for someone in his heart, why would he be alone until his death?"
Li Rong didn't speak for a long time, she held the chess piece and looked at the chessboard with the interlaced latitude and longitude, as if she was stunned.
Pei Wenxuan looked up at her: "Why didn't your Highness speak?"
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong smiled bitterly, "I suddenly felt that I lived like a joke in my last life."
"I helped the aristocratic family. In this life, you told me that the aristocratic family has done a lot of evil; I think Chuan'er was violent and immoral in the last life, and you said he was forced to help; I think the Su family is innocent, and now you tell me that Qin Zhenzhen died in Su Ronghua. The hand. Live a lifetime," Li Rong felt a bit sarcastic, "Did I come back and admit my mistake?"
"What about me?" Pei Wenxuan looked up at her, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes that seemed absurd in life, "I thought you were arrogant and rude and narrow-minded, but even Qin Zhenzhen, you are willing to give it to her. A piece of heaven and earth; I thought that you only had power in your heart, but you also asked for orders for the people and thoroughly investigated the military pay case; I thought that the family had no cure and was rotten to the root, but you can take Shangguanya and tell me that there are good people in the family; I You thought you would never bow your head in your life, but you were willing to tell me and let me wait. If you want to admit your mistake," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I'm the one who really came back to admit it."
"Look, how long has it been since I came back," Pei Wenxuan sighed, "How many times have I said sorry to you?"
"His Royal Highness, if a person has a bad life for a while, it can be said that it is the fault of others, and it is the fault of God. If you have a bad life in your life, more or less, it is always related to yourself."
"That's why," Li Rong said as she raised her teacup, as if admitting her fate, "We are all here to admit our mistakes."
"Your Highness, this is not an admission of mistakes." Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand and took Li Rong's hand, "This is a chance for us to start over."
Li Rong paused, holding the teacup, Pei Wenxuan's words were in her ear, she hesitated for a long time before raising her head: "Then, should we take care of Aya's business?"
"What?"
Pei Wenxuan was a little strange, Li Rong said it a little bit hard, her words were out of order, and she didn't follow the way: "Well, if Su Ronghua and her... if they missed the last life, they won't be together in this life," Li Rong raised her eyes and looked at Pei Wenxuan, " Isn't it a pity?"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned. He didn't seem to expect Li Rong to think so. Li Rong asked for his opinion: "If Su Ronghua likes Aya and Aya uses him, won't he be sad?"
"Does Your Highness think that Miss Shangguan shouldn't hurt Eldest Young Master Su's heart?"
Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong seriously, Li Rong frowned, and said as it should be: "If he is not sincere, it is mutual use. But if he is sincere, he should have due respect."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan staring at her, she was a little embarrassed: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"No," Pei Wenxuan laughed, and seemed to bow his head in embarrassment, "I just knew how many years I missed you."
"Now that you know what I'm doing?" Li Rong was a little happy to hear him praise herself, and she stood up, "Okay, I'll bring a letter to Shangguanya, while Su Ronghua is still in prison, make up for it after a long time. not late."
As Li Rong spoke, she had someone send a message to Shangguanya, asking her to visit Su Ronghua.
Shangguanya was about to go to bed when she received a message from Li Rong. She sat on the bed for a long time, finally stood up, changed her clothes, and went to the boss of the punishment department.
Su Ronghua had already fallen asleep in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Halfway through his sleep, he heard footsteps outside. He pretended not to hear it, turned his back to Shangguanya and didn't look back.
Shangguanya stood at the door of the cell for a while, and after a long time, she finally said, "Su Ronghua, I have come to see you by His Highness's order."
"What do you see me doing?" Su Ronghua closed her eyes and turned her back to Shangguanya, "Did I have three eyes or five hands, do I still need you to come over in the middle of the night?"
Shangguan Ya pursed her lips and said nothing.
After hesitating for a long time, she said: "Actually, what you said, I went back tonight and thought about it carefully."
"I think you might be telling the truth."
"You dressed up so fancyly today, and you really took this meal to heart. It's really my fault that I used you like this. You can see if it works like this. Forget it this time, it won't be an example next time."
Su Ronghua didn't speak. It was the first time Shangguanya saw his indifferent attitude, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She muttered: "Don't ignore people. How about we take a chance?"
With that said, Shangguanya took out a deck of cards from her arms: "If I win, don't be angry."
"What if you lose?"
When Su Ronghua finally spoke up, Shangguanya rubbed her nose: "Then...then you can continue to be angry for a while?"
