After Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan played a game of chess, there was news from the servants that Shangguanya had been released from the prison, and they also brought a message to her, saying that the task was completed and that she would become a son of Su Da Gongzi. Enemy is friend.
When Li Rong heard this, she couldn't help laughing. She raised her eyes and glanced at Pei Wenxuan, and said gently, "If Su Ronghua hears this, I'm afraid I'll have to worry about it again."
"Miss Shangguan has such a personality, Young Master Su will get used to it later."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan looked at the sky and reminded: "His Royal Highness, it's time to sleep."
"You don't sleep much by yourself, but I manage it very leniently."
Li Rong pouted, but she got up, and Pei Wenxuan stepped forward and helped her take off her coat. The two went to bed after washing up together. Li Rong was lying on the bed, unable to sleep.
Pei Wenxuan noticed that she didn't seem to be going to sleep immediately, so he opened his eyes, turned sideways, looked at Li Rong and said, "What is your Highness thinking?"
"Think about what's going to happen in the palace tonight."
"No need to worry, Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan reassured Li Rong, "Your Majesty is suspicious, Concubine Rou is just his knife, you are now a bargaining chip in His Majesty's plan to deal with the family, you are still useful, Concubine Rou murdered you without authorization, It is His Majesty's inverse scale."
"Um."
Li Rong replied, Pei Wenxuan thought about it, and suddenly said: "There will be a lantern festival in the folks in a few days, do you want to see your Highness?"
"Lantern Festival?" Li Rong knew that Pei Wenxuan wanted to change the subject, and she also cooperated. She imitated Pei Wenxuan's appearance, turned to her side, raised her finger to put her finger on Pei Wenxuan's chest, and said tenderly, "Sir Pei, what are you doing? Are you dating me?"
Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help laughing. His laughter was very low. When he laughed, Li Rong could clearly feel the slight vibration from his chest under his fingertips.
Seeing him smiling, Li Rong glared at him slowly: "Still laughing? I won't have time to laugh any more."
"Then I won't laugh," Pei Wenxuan stopped laughing, but the curvature of the corner of his mouth remained on his face, "Your Highness has time?"
"You prepare first," Li Rong said casually, "If you have time, look at it later."
"Okay," Pei Wenxuan nodded, "I rented a boat, and when the time comes, I will row a boat for His Royal Highness. I have inquired about the sky lanterns that will be put on that night, and there will be many people on the shore. I will take you to the heart of the lake to see."
"If you don't tell me, I'll forget it," Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's words, she had some anticipation, she raised her hand under her ear, "You can row a boat."
"Luzhou has a lot of water," Pei Wenxuan said slowly, recalling his youth, "In those three years of Shou Xiao, I liked to go out in a boat by myself, stop at any place, bask in the sun, sleep in, wake up and row the boat. Go back and pick some lotus seeds on the way."
Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan saying this, this is a world she has never experienced.
She has lived in Huajing since she was born. She has never experienced the peaceful time described by Pei Wenxuan. She walks the streets at will, and has her own boat, which is full of lotus flowers in the summer afternoon.
Find a place to take a nap, read a book, or find a place to fish. It doesn't matter if you can't catch a fish for an afternoon.
"Sometimes I bring some lotus leaves back. An aunt taught me to wrap glutinous rice in lotus leaves, put some chicken nuggets, chestnuts, add spices, steam them together, and have a unique flavor."
"You learned how to do it?" Li Rong became hungry after he said it, and Pei Wenxuan laughed: "Want to eat?"
"I think, you said it so well," Li Rong said candidly, "I don't just want to eat? I want to go to Luzhou."
"After that, when we are old, I will return to my hometown, and we will go."
"I'm old, I'm afraid I can't walk," Li Rong sighed, "I have bad legs."
"It's okay, I'll carry you."
Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and stroked Li Rong's hair. He looked at her like a child: "Also, in this life, I will take good care of you. Even if you are old, you will not be the same as in your previous life. Suffering."
Pei Wenxuan said, thinking of Li Rong's last sick time in his last life, he couldn't help reaching out his hand, took the person in his arms, and sighed, "Go to sleep."
Li Rong was hugged by him, her head resting on his chest, she couldn't help feeling a little sleepy.
This is an indescribable sense of security, like a tired bird returning to its nest and a traveler returning home.
Li Rong suddenly found out that she didn't know when she had such a sense of security towards this person.
Pei Wenxuan hugged Li Rong. After a long time, he heard Li Rong's even breathing. He lowered his head and kissed her. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The two slept until midnight, when Pei Wenxuan heard an eager knock at the door, Li Rong moved, and Pei Wenxuan held her down, saying in a steady voice, "I'll go take a look."
After saying that, Pei Wenxuan stood up, put on some clothes and went to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Tong Ye standing at the door. He lowered his voice and quickly said a few words to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan's eyes turned cold. Only said: "Are you sure?"
At this time, Li Rong also put on her clothes, and when she walked to the door, she heard Tong Ye whisper: "Yes, Concubine Rou brought Master Hongde into the imperial study, this old bald donkey is telling the truth, he only said It's the person who went to the princess' mansion and asked him to change the prince's wedding date."
Pei Wenxuan did not speak, and Tong Ye continued: "His Majesty was very angry and planned to call His Highness immediately, but the only person who had the message left the palace gate and was called back."
"Anything else?" Pei Wenxuan asked very calmly. This incident did not seem to have any effect on him. Tong Ye was infected by the calmness in Pei Wenxuan's words, and the panic just now disappeared slowly. He calmed down and continued: "No, His Majesty doesn't seem to intend to pursue this matter."
Pei Wenxuan nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he whispered: "You go out of the city immediately tonight, go to Qingshui County next door, find a washerwoman named 'Tian Fang', give her three hundred taels of silver, and tell her that her husband found her. Now, let her bring her mother-in-law to Huajing to recognize her relatives."
"Yes." Tong Ye responded, and Li Rong listened at the side, and immediately understood what Pei Wenxuan was doing, and said directly, "Are you looking for the scandal of Master Hongde?"
"Yes." Pei Wenxuan turned to look at her, "You can find evidence right away."
Li Rong turned around, went back to the table, wrote down a list with names and specific addresses, and handed it over to Tong Ye: "You look for it according to the list, and tell them directly that the warlock who lied to them before. Found it, let them recognize the person."
Tong Ye was stunned for a while. He didn't expect Li Rong to give such a list. Seeing Tong Ye staying there, Li Rong sent the list forward and urged, "Take it."
Only then did Tong Ye react, and he quickly took the list and withdrew.
After waiting for the others to leave, Li Rong turned to look at Pei Wenxuan, pulled her clothes, and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
"There was news from Fangcai Palace that Concubine Rou had summoned Master Hongde to the palace to face the Holy Spirit."
Li Rong's expression did not change, she stared at Pei Wenxuan: "He entered the palace to face the saint, why are you panicking?"
"After the Spring Festival, I sent someone to look for him." Pei Wenxuan told the truth, Li Rong frowned, "What are you looking for him for?"
"I told His Royal Highness that if you want to completely solve the problem of His Royal Highness's marriage, asking this person to come out and make predictions for the Prince's marriage is a once and for all solution."
"Didn't I also tell you," Li Rong restrained her emotions, "Chuan'er has already promised to choose a concubine, what are you still worrying about?!"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong stared at him. After a short silence, Li Rong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "Have you left any evidence?"
"No." Pei Wenxuan said decisively, "I asked the dark guard to find him. I didn't tell him who I was, and I didn't tell the prince directly. I just tried it once, and found that he was too timid, so he did not continue."
"Then why is he entering the palace now?" Li Rong asked quickly.
If Pei Wenxuan just tried once and didn't do anything practical, how could Concubine Rou find this person and let him enter the palace
"That's what I want to know too."
Pei Wenxuan said calmly: "The people in the palace said that after this old bald donkey entered the palace, they sued you, saying that the people in the princess' mansion asked him to postpone the prince's wedding until five years later."
Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan in shock, and Pei Wenxuan continued: "I didn't recklessly go to this bald donkey. No second person should know about this."
Li Rong didn't speak, but Pei Wenxuan clenched his fists unconsciously when he saw her expression.
He wanted to say something, but looking at Li Rong's expression, he didn't dare to say it.
He didn't want her to know about it, and even, if possible, he hoped to hide it for the rest of his life.
He is confident that he will win Su Rongqing who has survived his entire life, but what if it is Su Rongqing who has accompanied Li Rong for more than 20 years
He can't compare.
He had only just started with Li Rong in this life, and he didn't want to take any risks at this time.
After Li Rong was stunned for a while, she quickly restrained her emotions and said, "What should I do now?"
"Your Majesty hasn't summoned His Highness yet, because he is worried about the inspector in His Highness's hands," Pei Wenxuan analyzed. To a certain extent, the impact of this incident has been eliminated.”
"How to cancel?"
"In two days, His Highness will go to Huguo Temple to arrest people." Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong and analyzed, "Now Your Majesty will not release people from the palace for the time being. Master Hongde's old bottom line came out and said that he was investigating this demon monk who cheated money and killed his life. In this way, when the people from the princess' mansion go to Huguo Temple, you can directly say that it is an investigation. As for what the Princess Mansion said to him, I didn't say anything, I just don't know."
"Nowadays, it takes a lot of time for these witnesses and materials, but if we can handle this case properly in these two days, it will be difficult for everyone to believe that we are handling the case temporarily. If you are not handling the case temporarily, you know that Hongde is a demon monk. , that the people in the princess mansion looked for Hongde before, but it was a foolish move for you to find a liar to help you promote the prince."
"That's the only way." Li Rong nodded calmly, and after finishing speaking, the two fell silent again.
In fact, they have countless things to say, but when all the words reach their lips, they can't say it.
The two seemed to touch on a topic that could not be said at the same time. Li Rong was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Go to sleep, the royal father has not called now, so he should have planned to endure this matter."
She endured it calmly on the face, but secretly, Li Ming probably won't leave her so much power anymore.
When Concubine Rou came out, if it wasn't for Pei Wenxuan's deep burial in the palace, and this kind of news would come back, she would probably have to eat it by herself.
With Concubine Rou's ability, she couldn't design this one.
Not to mention the other, just why you found Master Hongde, this one is strange enough.
Li Rong pondered, and the thought that had been in her mind came up again clearly.
She couldn't help but think of the day when she married Pei Wenxuan, Su Rongqing came to welcome her. She suddenly remembered the tone of his parallel prose so clearly.
"Acacia can chase the sun and the moon, and I hope that the peach blossoms will come next year."
It was only then that she realized that the young gentleman, before reciting this sentence, was so strange, unusual, and even a little gaffe, and paused for a moment.
Li Rong subconsciously clenched her fists, and the moment she turned around in restraint, Pei Wenxuan grabbed her hand suddenly, pulled her into his arms and kissed her!
Li Rong was startled by his sudden action and pushed him almost instinctively, but the moment she pushed it out, she realized what she wanted to stop.
But Pei Wenxuan didn't have time to notice the emotions behind her. He only grabbed her hand tightly when she was pushing him, pushed her violently on the pillar, and kissed her like a bite.
His body trembled slightly and his eyes were tightly closed.
He acted recklessly with a bit of restraint, biting Li Rong a little bit.
Li Rong frowned. She knew that Pei Wenxuan could not be stimulated at this time, so she stood quietly and endured all the pain. Pei Wenxuan's movements slowly slowed down. After a long wait, Li Rong spoke calmly and reminded him: "Pei Wenxuan Wen Xuan."
Pei Wenxuan put his hands on her shoulders, he opened the distance between them, panting lowly.
"sorry… "
Pei Wenxuan said in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."
He didn't say it, and he didn't seem to know what to say, sorry.
Li Rong stood quietly, and after a long time, she heard Pei Wenxuan speak: "Rongrong," Pei Wenxuan said, he raised his head and forced a smile, "Let's have a baby, okay?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Pei Wenxuan closed his eyes in pain.
He felt a little sick of himself.
How could he be so disgusting
How could he think about using a child to keep Li Rong
How could he, Pei Wenxuan, live like this
"I'm sorry, I just..." Pei Wenxuan took back the hand on Li Rong's shoulder, trying to be as decent as possible, and said slowly, "I just..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Rong stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly.
"How many children do you want?" She whispered, and Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while, and then she heard the girl leaning on his chest and asked with some expectation, "A boy or a girl?"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan felt a bit sore eyes for some reason.
His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and after a long time, he finally replied in a hoarse voice.
"I want you."
"I don't want children," Pei Wenxuan hugged Li Rong and buried his face in Li Rong's shoulders, "I want you."
