Li Rong: "..."
She didn't expect Pei Wenxuan to say this, and was a little embarrassed.
But fortunately, all this embarrassment was only acting in her mind, she kept her face calm, nodded and said, "I'll go right now."
"Also," Pei Wenxuan whispered, "If Your Majesty starts to investigate, you can let Hongde enter the palace and confront Su Rongqing."
Li Rong nodded, and hurriedly entered the palace.
She might not have known what Pei Wenxuan was doing before, but now that Su Rongqing's people took the book, Li Rong knew Pei Wenxuan's intentions.
The confession is indeed fake. If you don't test it, other people will not know. With so many people in the memorial hall, it is normal to arrange a few people in the middle with Su Rongqing's skill. Seeing that she brought evidence and named Su Rongqing by name , will naturally take the confession away.
If the confession is true, of course it's good for them to do so. They say that the document is gone. And Su Rongqing can be safe and sound.
The problem is that the confession itself is false. Once they took it like this, Su Rongqing would never be able to explain clearly, and there would always be a lost Hongde confession here. Even if Su Rongqing's people quietly returned the book, she could still bite her to death and say that her confession had been transferred.
The only flaw in this plan is that Hongde himself may not admit this confession, so what she has to do now is to enter the palace immediately, stab the matter of the Zhezi, and then declare Hongde to enter the palace to testify.
Forcing Su Rongqing to kill Hongde.
Li Rong raised her eyes, her eyes were a little cold. When Hongde died, the confession was completely eliminated, but in Li Ming's heart, this was destined to become an iron case. This time, Pei Wenxuan used a false confession to give Su Rongqing a real crime.
Detaining the documents in the memorial hall, secretly instigating Concubine Rou to figure out the emperor's scheming to give her and Pei Wenxuan a set, the most important thing is to do all this without being known by the emperor. Things, take food from the power in Li Ming's palm.
Pei Wenxuan's move is not too high.
Li Rong went to the palace in thought, and asked Li Ming to be informed. It was not long before nightfall in this fashion, and Li Ming was still in the imperial study room approving papers, when he heard Li Rong coming to see him, he couldn't help frowning: "What is she doing here in the middle of the night?"
Li Rong was naturally prepared.
If you come to the palace in the middle of the night, if you are directly talking about business, it must be a bit too deliberate. So Li Rong pondered for a while at the door. After entering, Li Ming looked at Li Rong with red eyes, as if he had been wronged by the sky, Li Ming paused, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"
"Imperial Father," Li Rong sobbed, "help your son to manage the concubine, he, he is too much!"
Li Ming paused for a while, then he knew what Li Rong was coming. He hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "What's wrong?"
"Royal father," Li Rong put down her sleeves, rather plaintively, "a few days ago, the concubine had a dispute with his son, and he ignored me after that. He said that he wanted to leave with me, and he also said that you have issued an edict. , but I don't believe it anymore. How can I force my daughter and Li's father? If I divorced with him, who will I marry in the future? Do you want to raise such a face like an aunt to be ridiculed? "
"Since you don't want to leave," Li Ming felt guilty when he heard Li Rong's words, pretending to be calm and blaming her, "Then why do you ask the people from Nanfeng Pavilion to swim in the lake?"
Hearing this, Li Rong didn't seem to expect Li Ming to know about this, and her face showed a bit of embarrassment: "I... don't I want to be mad at him?"
Li Ming snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to her, Li Rong laughed and said coquettishly: "Father, my son is wrong, go and persuade him, he is always so stiff with me, and he sleeps in the outer courtyard. , what's the matter? You order him to come back now."
"Nonsense." Li Ming threw the book aside, "I made you the chief inspector. You think about these matters of love between men and women every day, don't you have a brain if you don't do the real business?"
"Your Majesty, you have wronged me," Li Rong hurriedly stood up when she heard this, "My son and the concubine quarreled, but it didn't delay the business. I have to talk about the Father, and I will hand it over to you. You haven't replied for several days," Li Rong said, leaning forward, "What's your plan?"
"What document?" Li Ming frowned, Li Rong blinked, and said rather strangely, "It's the document that Hongde confessed, I sent it in for several days, and I sent you all the witnesses and materials. Don't do Su Rongqing, it's your idea."
"Su Rongqing?" Li Ming said in surprise, "What is the relationship between Hongde and Su Rongqing?"
"Just..." Li Rong was about to speak, then she remembered something, and waved her hand impatiently, "Just take a look at the book, and you want me to repeat it? But that's not important, I'm here to talk about family matters tonight, Father Huang, Pei Wenxuan Always listen to you, you just…”
"Don't talk about this for now," Li Ming said solemnly, "The matter involves Su Rongqing?"
Li Rong didn't seem to understand why Li Ming was so serious, and nodded blankly: "Yes, Hongde said that Su Rongqing was looking for him and asked him to enter the palace and talk nonsense with Concubine Rou..."
"Fulai!"
Li Ming raised his head and immediately called the person next to him: "Go to the auditorium immediately and bring the princess' book! I want to review it immediately."
When Fu Lai heard this, he respectfully saluted, turned around and walked out.
At the same time, in the Su Mansion, Su Rongqing took Hongde's confession and Li Rong's memorial, and listened to the official kneeling on the ground and respectfully said: "Sir, if this seal goes up, the son may not be able to escape the guilt. It was the time of the examination for the position of Shangshu, and I was afraid of causing trouble, so I secretly took the book out first..."
"I lost."
Su Rongqing suddenly spoke up and interrupted the official's words. The official was stunned for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Su Rongqing who was sitting above.
The official froze in place, and Su Rongqing said slowly, "Your Highness deliberately took this false confession, just to wait for you to steal it. Now, if I guess correctly, His Highness should have taken the initiative to enter the palace. Your Majesty must have been looking at the transcript at this moment. Go back quickly."
"Then I will take the fold back immediately."
The official got up immediately, and Su Rongqing stopped him: "No need."
The official was a little dazed, Su Rongqing lowered her head and drank her tea, and said calmly: "After taking it back, the princess will definitely bite her confession and be exchanged, and after a closer inspection, you will be found on your head, to no avail, and your position has also been lost. "
"Then... what should I do then?" The official panicked, Su Rongqing took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Leave the things to me, you pretend you don't know anything, are you on duty now?"
"No... No." The official didn't understand what Su Rongqing was going to do, so Su Rongqing only said, "Then go back to sleep, be careful when you go back, and pretend that you haven't been here before."
The official nodded. Although he was in a panic, Su Rongqing was so calm that he didn't dare to ask more questions.
After the official left, Su Rongqing raised his hand and put the confession on the candlelight. The tongue of flame licked the page, making the page heat up and circled. Su Rongqing stared at the licking and burning appearance of the tongue of flame, and indifferently instructed: "Let a handyman sneak in and put it in. The concert hall is on fire. Don't let him come out when the fire starts, just stay inside."
"Young Master," the person in charge was hesitant, "Isn't it too daring to set fire to the auditorium directly?"
"More than daring?" Su Rongqing chuckled, "It's just daring."
"That boy..."
"Do it first," Su Rongqing's voice was flat. "Just do it. Just wait when you're done. It's time to come. It will come sooner or later."
As he spoke, he threw the half-burned confession into the brazier, and then he turned his head and looked at the memorials laid out on the page.
The memorial was written by Li Rong, and Long Feifengwu wrote his guilt. Su Rongqing watched quietly for a moment, then laughed softly, raised his hand and touched the three words "Su Rongqing" written by Li Rong, and was silent for a long time.
Li Rong and Li Ming waited in the imperial study for a while, Li Rong chatted with him about Pei Wenxuan, and Li Ming responded in a different way, obviously perfunctory Li Rong.
After waiting for a long time, Fu Lai hurried back. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the memorial hall is on fire."
"Burned?"
Li Ming stood up in shock: "You say it again, where did it burn?!"
"The memorial hall." Fu Lai repeated, "The fire is still being put out, but the servants have already caught fire on the way there. I heard that there are still many officials trapped in it, and they are still saving people."
"How did it burn?" Li Rong asked very quickly, Li Ming frowned, Fu Lai shook his head, "The cause of the fire is unknown, and we have to wait for the results of the investigation."
Li Ming didn't speak, he seemed a little troubled, Li Rong hesitated for a moment, then got up and said, "Father, why don't you go over and take a look, the house is small, the people in the house and the book are the most important. "
"No need." Li Ming said slowly, "You go back first, I will go there in person."
Having said that, Li Ming stood up and was sent off by Li Ronggong.
Li Rong sent Li Ming away, got up and left the palace. Just after returning to the house, before the lights were lit, she heard someone's voice lingering in the night: "How is it?"
Li Rong was startled by the sound, and then realized that Pei Wenxuan hadn't gone back yet. She fumbled around to turn on the light, and saw Pei Wenxuan lying on the bed, with one hand on her head and the other on her bent knees. Up, looking at her confidently: "Have Your Majesty asked Su Rongqing to trouble you?"
"Looking for trouble?" Li Rong sneered. She took off her coat and threw it on the screen. "Su Rongqing set fire to the memorial hall. Where do you think he went to trouble Su Rongqing?"
"Burning the memorial hall?" Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "Courageous enough."
"Because it's old enough, I think you have to prepare early." Li Rong sat down by the bed, frowning worriedly, "He's a smart man, without a plan, he can't do such a thing rashly. I just went Complaining, when the royal father mentioned my book, he set the memorial hall on fire, this is too obvious, he should not be so stupid."
"Worried about me?" Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong with a smile, without the slightest panic, Li Rong looked up at him, "Tell me the truth."
Pei Wenxuan was a little puzzled: "Huh?"
"Are you pretending to be calm now and panicking?"
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
"Where did you see it?" Pei Wenxuan frowned, and Li Rong stared at him, "Do you know what he's going to do?"
"It's not hard to guess what he's going to do, but it's not important. What's important is," Pei Wenxuan smiled and looked at her face, suddenly stretched out his hand, and pulled her in, "Wei Chen, etc. It's a pity that I don't do anything for so long."
"As for him," Pei Wenxuan bit his belt and pulled it away, and said vaguely, "Don't think about it, Your Highness, I'll just think about it."
