Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were playing tricks and were a little tired lying on the bed. Li Rong leaned against Pei Wenxuan's arms and just remembered about Shangguanya.
"I advised her because I knew her."
Li Rong closed her eyes and said calmly, "She is still too young, she seems to understand everything, but she doesn't know. Power can be fought, but feelings cannot."
"When I was young, I was hard-mouthed and backed away when I hit a nail. I was famous for saying that I didn't value relationships, but in fact, I valued too much." Li Rong was a little tired, and her voice was slow, "so I'm too afraid of giving, and I'm too Afraid of losing, I have no courage to fight."
"Su Ronghua and Miss Shangguan have different positions," Pei Wenxuan patted her on the back, thinking, "It is normal for Miss Shangguan to have concerns. Unless Su Rongqing turns back, or Su Ronghua fights for Miss Shangguan's control of the Su family, Su Rongqing is abolished, but No matter what, it is impossible now.”
Li Rong didn't speak, and Pei Wenxuan thought for a while: "If Su Ronghua really likes Miss Shangguan, he will find a way by himself. Don't worry, Your Highness, there are a lot of things going on recently, Your Highness, sleep well."
Li Rong responded and closed her eyes to sleep.
The next day, when I got up at the door of the Superintendent, I saw Su Ronghua standing at the door again.
Seeing Li Rong coming, he raised his hand and called out with a smile, "Your Highness."
As if nothing was wrong.
Li Rong hesitated for a moment, nodded, and walked in.
In the next few days, Su Ronghua came to inspect the door every day, while Shangguanya took Lin Feibai to and from the various aristocratic circles. As long as Shangguanya was not working in the Supervision Division, she would bring Lin Feibai to talk about poetry, and everyone would know about it several times.
But it's hard for everyone to talk about this kind of thing, let alone talk to Su Ronghua, so Su Ronghua is still standing at the door of the inspector's office every day, and many people in the nobles have already started to secretly discuss whether the eldest lady of the Shangguan family is a match. Xie Feibai, the illegitimate son of the Xie family.
If you marry Xie Feibai with the identity of Guanya, then she will obviously use her identity to carry the sedan chair for Xie Feibai.
Xie Feibai has 20,000 horses in the southwest, but his identity is really not on the table. If Shangguanya married him, with the Shangguan family as support, then Xie Feibai would not be the same in the Xie family.
It's just that why Shangguanya used a marriage as the sedan chair, everyone couldn't understand.
After all, in her capacity, the crown princess can do everything, except for the two direct sons of the Su family, there is hardly anyone in Huajing who can match. Marrying the Xie family is already condescending, let alone an illegitimate child
After thinking about it, everyone felt that it was probably Shangguan Ya Xin Xu Xie Feibai.
Apart from love, there is no reason to get such a ridiculous marriage.
In a blink of an eye, the winter hunting came. The night before the winter hunting, Li Rong got the entire winter hunting process.
At this time, the sky had cooled down completely, and a charcoal fire was lit in the house. Shangguan Ya, Lin Feibai, Pei Wenxuan, Li Chuan and others gathered together to watch Li Rong take over the entire winter hunting plan from Zhao Chongjiu.
"Tomorrow's winter hunt will be divided into three parts. First, Chuan'er greets the Sixth Army and promises a reward." Li Rong turned her head and looked at Li Chuan.
Li Chuan nodded: "The Ministry of Rites has informed me, I already know."
"Then each of the six armies will send 100 people to set up seven flags in the mountains and forests, one for each army, and a big flag in the depths of the forest. At one hour, count the number of flags obtained, and the one with the most flags wins." Li Rong looked at the page and walked back to the table.
There was a map on the table, she sat down and put the whole process on the table.
"After counting the winners, it should be the father who will reward the winner, but this year, the father wants to give Li Cheng a face," Li Rong laughed, "it's Li Cheng."
"The winner will receive the reward at this position," Li Rong raised her hand and tapped on a high platform on the map. "This high platform will completely expose Li Cheng. We will set up archers at these three points," Li Rong said. Rong said, looking at Pei Wenxuan, "Let's set up two more killers near Li Cheng to make sure everything is safe."
"What about Xie Chunhe?"
Shangguanya frowned, and Pei Wenxuan said with a smile: "This is a trivial matter, I have given slow-moving poison at Xie Chunhe's home in the outer room recently, and on that day, there will be a servant who will introduce the medicine into the tea. Among them, as long as Xie Chunhe drinks the tea, it will take less than a quarter of an hour from poisoning to death."
"Are you poisoning?" Lin Feibai was a little surprised, "These aristocratic families are extremely strict with poisoning, how did you do it?"
Poisoning this matter, not to mention that it is very difficult to buy people. Even if someone is willing to buy poison, the food that these nobles have eaten will only come to them after a layer of poison test. If it was really poisonous, it would have been exposed during the inspection.
Therefore, it is obviously the easiest thing to kill when poisoning, but each family still has to plan an assassination trip.
"Young Master Lin, have you ever heard of it?" Pei Wenxuan poured tea for Lin Feibai with a smile, and his voice was steady, "There is a poison called Fragrant Beauty."
Li Rong looked up at Pei Wenxuan.
The poison of Xiangmeiren was not known until Su Ronghua brought it into the palace to poison and kill Qin Zhenzhen.
"There are eleven variations of this poison, all of which are made of ordinary spices and put into commonly used incense. After years of exposure, it will gradually accumulate into the bones, with tuberculosis as the symptom, and it will die in three years. If it is short-lived After contacting for a period of time and supplemented with medicinal citron, the poison will immediately develop. The most difficult thing to prevent from this poison is that every kind of material is very common and non-toxic. Including medicinal citron, it is also a common ingredient. It is difficult to prevent, and after the incident, even if it is investigated, it is difficult to find out where the poison came from.”
If it wasn't for Li Chuan who searched the world for aliens, Qin Zhenzhen's death would have only been treated as an emergency.
And after Qin Zhenzhen's death, the poison of Xiangmeiren was accepted by the royal family, and there were no more than three people in the world who knew the recipe for this kind of poison.
Su Rongqing, who had been in contact with Su Ronghua, Pei Wenxuan, who handled the case, and Li Chuan, who brought the pharmacist into the palace to cultivate immortals and alchemy with him.
Now that she has been reborn, as long as Su Rongqing does not interfere too much, Xiangmeiren is almost unsolvable.
"What if the poisoning fails?"
Li Rong turned to look at Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan caught Li Rong's gaze and knew her concerns.
Pei Wenxuan smiled: "If something happened to His Royal Highness King Su, there must be someone who rebelled, and there will be chaos in the school grounds and a few people will die. Isn't it normal?" After speaking, Pei Wenxuan looked at Lin Feibai, "Young Master Lin is very concerned about this. , should be more proficient than I am."
Lin Feibai was originally a killer, and it couldn't be easier to kill someone silently while taking advantage of the chaos.
"However, in order to be safe," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "Tomorrow, the more lively the school field is, the better. It's always easier to do things when everyone pays attention to something."
"I told my aunt about this."
Shangguanya spoke suddenly, and everyone looked over with a bit of doubt in their eyes.
"Tomorrow, when the Sixth Army matches, my aunt will persuade His Majesty to add a polo match temporarily, and promise that the winner will get a reward. At the Lin Feibai meeting, if you are worried about Su Rongqing's actions, let Lin Feibai pick him to play. , to force him onto the arena, and when everyone's eyes are on the arena," Shangguanya looked at Pei Wenxuan, "you shoot."
"it is good."
Pei Wenxuan applauded: "That's it."
"At that time, if I can win," Lin Feibai looked calm, "I will ask to marry Miss Shangguan. When Xie Chunhe died, before the funeral, Miss Shangguan helped me take down the Xie family."
"What if you can't win?" Shangguanya was half-smiling, but Pei Wenxuan was also a little curious. Lin Fei squinted at Shangguanya, "I'll foul him and hit him."
"Okay!" Pei Wenxuan was very happy when he heard this, "Brother Feibai, if you really hit him, I'll give you a sword..."
"Cough cough." Li Rong coughed lightly, and Pei Wenxuan's smile froze, then calmly put away the uncontrollable joy, and said calmly, "I will leave everything to Young Master Lin."
"It's easy to say." Lin Feibai nodded, "In the future, Master Pei will speak more kind words in front of His Highness, and pay more for the army."
When several people were discussing tomorrow's itinerary at Li Rong's house, Hua Le wore a cloak and walked through the long and narrow corridor in the dark. He stopped at the end, and faced the woman in the prison cell, who looked a little tired in prison clothes. Called: "Mother concubine."
Concubine Rou raised her head and watched Hua Le lift off her hat with a determined look: "Everything is ready, I will save you when I kill Li Chuan tomorrow."
"Good boy." Concubine Rou's eyes showed love and pity. She stood up, walked to the door, stretched out her hand, and held Hua Le's cold hand, "You have suffered."
Hua Le shook his head: "It's the most important thing to keep Cheng'er, and this bit of hardship is nothing."
"How did you arrange it?"
"Su Shilang helped me," Hua Le said, with a hint of shyness on his face, Concubine Rou's movements froze, and Hua Le whispered, "My daughter took your token, but she has no clue. Su Rongqing found me and said that he could help me, and the assassination of Li Chuan tomorrow has been arranged, that is..."
Hua Le frowned.
"What is it?" Concubine Rou was a little worried, and Hua Le's eyes showed dissatisfaction, "He wouldn't let me touch Li Rong, saying that Li Rong has other uses. If Li Chuan is dead, what use can Li Rong have? I think he is fainting. You turned your head, did you see Li Rong's face?"
Hua Le said, feeling a little uncomfortable, and then added: "But a person like Su Shilang is not a face, and I don't know what use Li Rong is..."
Concubine Rou watched Hua Le scolding for a while and then saying good things for Su Rongqing. She smiled and brushed Hua Le's hair with her hand: "No matter what he wants to do, it's yours, can you just do it?"
Hua Le looked up in surprise, Concubine Rou looked at her, and said softly: "Silly boy, don't listen to men. These men, they say something, you don't know who they are thinking. You want to kill Li Chuan. , the best way is not to directly assassinate him."
"That is?"
"Tomorrow's school field, everyone will protect Li Chuan, because everyone knows that Li Chuan is a target, so everyone will care about Li Chuan. And Li Rong is a female dependent, and she will definitely get away as soon as possible. At that time, you will all the elites. He was transferred to Li Rong's side and forced her into the woods. Let someone tell Li Chuan that he would kill Li Rong if he didn't save his sister."
"Will Li Chuan save him? He's not a fool." Hua Le was a little incredulous.
Concubine Rou smiled: "He will go." Concubine Rou had a bit of pity in her eyes, "It is also a kind of luck for him to die at an age when he knew nothing about suffering."
"Okay." Hua Le nodded, and she frowned, "It's just, I'm afraid that there are not so many people..."
"You just do it." Concubine Rou's voice was gentle, "Someone will help you."
"Someone?" Hua Le looked at Concubine Rou in confusion, "Who?"
Concubine Rou turned to the direction of the palace with a smile. The tallest North Yan Pagoda in the palace was hung with lights. The lights swayed gently in the distance, reflecting the stars in the sky.
Hua Le followed, and Concubine Rou watched quietly for a while, then turned to look at Hua Le: "Go, don't delay."
Hua Le nodded, no doubt about her, raised his hand to put on his hat, and said softly, "Then I'm leaving, concubine mother, take care of yourself."
As she said that, she turned around and walked into the long corridor that looked like the mouth of a giant snake.
Concubine Rou watched her daughter disappear into the darkness little by little. After a long time, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
She knew she would succeed.
There will be someone to help her, and there will be countless people who want Li Chuan to die in the dark, helping her with everything.
They don't need Hua Le to do anything, all they need is that when Li Chuan dies, Hua Le will bear everything.
It's just that people always have choices. She chooses power, so it is destined to give up something on this road.
The stars on the Huajing sky flickered behind the clouds, and the northwest border was also a good night with a bright moon and sparse stars.
Qin Lin led Cui Qinghe to stand on the cliff, looking at the direction of Xiao Su's garrison in the distance.
The wind blew the clothes of the two of them, and Cui Qinghe looked at the lights in the distance, and said softly, "The soldier just announced that Xiao Su ordered his soldiers and horses and set off in the direction of Huajing tonight."
"how many people?"
Qin Lin didn't look back, his expression was steady.
"Thirty thousand, leaving twenty thousand to be stationed in the northwest."
"Thirty thousand."
Qin Lin opened his mouth slowly, Cui Qinghe looked down at the green grass flicking on the ground: "Are you really going to intercept Xiao Su as His Highness Pingle said?"
"Otherwise?" Qin Lin turned to look at Cui Qinghe and chuckled, "Do you think His Highness Pingle has helped us so much without a price?"
"But Xiao Su took His Majesty's will."
Cui Qinghe frowned: "At that time, you will be a rebel."
"So what?"
Cui Qinghe's face was calm, he quietly watched Qin Lin: "A Lin, I'm worried about you."
"Worry about me, just help me keep an eye on the 20,000 people in the northwest."
Qin Lin turned his head and looked into the distance: "His Royal Highness rescued me, Qin Shi, of course I can't live up to her."
Cui Qinghe didn't speak, he stepped forward and stood behind Qin Lin.
"Besides, with the intelligence of His Highness and Pei Wenxuan, I believe them. Qinghe, don't worry, if something goes wrong, you can leave Daxia directly from the northwest and head west."
"Sorry," Cui Qinghe's voice was very low, Qin Lin noticed the difference, but before he had time to turn around, a sharp blade suddenly pierced through his body, Cui Qinghe's hands trembled slightly, he stared at him with red eyes, " I don't want to go."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Lin swung his knife straight away, Cui Qinghe retreated a few feet, and dozens of people jumped out of the dense forest and rushed towards Qin Lin!
The two guards stood in front of Cui Qinghe. Cui Qinghe stared at Qin Lin who was fighting and retreating with more than a dozen killers. Qin Lin glanced at him like a wolf, and rushed into the jungle while covering his wound.
"Young Master Cui," the bodyguard who was protecting Cui Qinghe respectfully said, "What should we do next?"
"Back to camp."
Cui Qinghe raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, looked at the direction Qin Lin fled, turned around with his sword in hand, and said calmly, "Clear the door."
After he finished speaking, Cui Qinghe took someone down the mountain with his sword.
Not long after, Xun Chuan, who was writing a letter to Li Rong in the room, heard a scream.
"Sir!" A bodyguard rushed in with his sword in hand. "General Qin was assassinated and fell off the cliff. Master Cui said that there was an insider who killed the general and sealed the barracks. Now he's coming towards us, sir, let's go!"
Xun Chuan's hands trembled at the words, and he only had time to write "Qin Lin was assassinated" when he heard footsteps outside.
Xun Chuan folded the letter, hurriedly handed it over to the guard, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and send the letter to His Highness as quickly as possible."
After speaking, Xun Chuan took the sword from the side and led the people out.
As soon as she rushed out of the tent, she saw Cui Qinghe leading people to stand in front of the tent. Cui Qinghe looked calm and said indifferently: "Master Xun, the general was assassinated, this officer has been ordered to supervise the army and arrest all the suspects. Please cooperate with Master Xun, unloading. Jia abandons his sword and goes to the military camp."
Xun Chuan didn't speak, she quietly watched Cui Qinghe: "Brother Cui, who am I, don't you know?"
Cui Qinghe's expression moved slightly, but he just raised his hand.
The soldier received the order and immediately slashed towards Xun Chuan. Xun Chuan's expression changed slightly, and he only said, "You betrayed the big brother."
"Feel sorry."
Cui Qinghe's tone was calm: "I want to go back to the Cui family, you can't help me, only one person can."
As he spoke, Xun Chuan swept away the pouncer with his sword, took two steps in three steps, bent over and lifted the sword to cut off the reins of the horses, and the horses screamed and galloped out. She stepped on the flagpole and used the flagpole. With all his strength, he rushed to the horse, and then galloped towards the outside amid the exclamations of the crowd.
Cui Qinghe didn't expect Xun Chuan to rush out. He suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Chase! Chase her back to me!"
Xun Chuan didn't look back when she heard the sound. She looked at the bright moon in the direction of Huajing and hurried towards the dense forest in the distance.
She must get her brother back.
Hua Jing was still waiting for Qin Lin.
His Highness is still waiting for Qin Lin!
