Li Rong heard Li Chuan's shout, and she turned back in a hurry, and vaguely saw Li Chuan chasing from the crowd like an arrow from a string.
At the same time, there were Pei Wenxuan, who was startled by Li Chuan's shout, and Su Rongqing who was in the crowd.
She only saw a shadow, and was reminded by the guard behind her: "Your Highness, lie down!"
After speaking, the horse suddenly jumped up and heard another arrow rain, not knowing where it went.
"Sister!" Li Chuan watched Li Rong enter the forest. He was whipping the horse like a madman, his eyes were splitting, and the people behind him followed him and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, I will wait to enter the forest to save the princess. Dangerous!"
Li Chuan ignored the words of the others and rushed straight into the forest.
Pei Wenxuan was far away from seeing his siblings rushing into the dense forest. He couldn't help scolding Li Chuan for being reckless in his heart. His riding skills were much higher than Li Chuan's. , was caught up by Pei Wenxuan.
Pei Wenxuan and Li Chuan rode side by side and said urgently, "Your Highness, the dense forest is dangerous, you..."
"You still need to talk about danger?!" Li Chuan turned his head and scolded, "What are you doing with me? Go save people!"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan reacted suddenly, Li Chuan entered the forest on purpose!
Those people forced Li Rong to enter the jungle, and the purpose was actually Li Chuan, so as long as Li Chuan came in, most of the troops would be used to encircle and suppress Li Chuan, so that Li Rong could get more opportunities.
"Pei Wenxuan, my sister will leave it to you," Li Chuan squeezed the reins. He turned to look at Pei Wenxuan, and he gritted his teeth, "If you dare to let her down, I won't let you go alone!"
After speaking, Li Chuan suddenly turned around and rushed towards another part of the jungle. Pei Wenxuan watched Li Chuan scolding and ran into the depths of the jungle. The direction hurried away.
Li Rong couldn't figure out where she was running or where she was going.
She only felt that there were chasing soldiers behind her, and the guards who were protecting her were finally shot and dismounted. Blood splattered all over her body, Li Rong took out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed it on the horse. The horse was frightened and moved forward frantically.
Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong who was fleeing in front. There were countless killers between them. Li Rong couldn't stop. After stopping, he didn't have time to save her.
But if Li Rong didn't stop, at Li Rong's speed, he couldn't save her now.
So he could only chase after Li Rong, and when danger approached Li Rong, he let the guards protect him to deal with the killer who came to stop them, and at the same time, when danger approached Li Rong, he drew his bow and directly shot the person who approached Li Rong.
After such a stalemate for a while, the guard next to him finally reminded: "Sir, you must stop your Highness immediately, there is a cliff ahead!"
Pei Wenxuan pursed his lips and did not speak. He leaned slightly and stared at Li Rong in front of him.
He calculated the distance between the two, and Li Rong's horse could no longer stop. If it stopped, with the number of killers around Li Rong, it would be too late to rescue him.
Someone must come to Li Rong in advance to protect Li Rong and give them a chance to get to Li Rong!
It was at this moment that he heard a loud call from a distance: "Pei Wenxuan!"
As soon as Pei Wenxuan looked up, he saw Su Rongqing in the distance, galloping towards Li Rong from the side.
Pei Wenxuan immediately understood that Su Rongqing was the one who protected Li Rong for a moment and gave Li Rong a little bit of life!
He could see it, and so did the hidden killer. Before Su Rongqing was in front of Li Rong, the last wave of arrows rained all over the sky!
Li Rong grabbed the horse's mane and rushed forward, only to hear the horse scream in surprise, and then Li Rong felt the world spinning, the horse swayed frantically because of the pain, she finally couldn't hold it any longer, and was thrown out by the horse. .
There was a cliff in front of her, and when she realized she was falling, her will to survive made her desperately grab whatever she could.
Just at the moment of despair, a cold hand suddenly stuck out and grabbed her tightly.
Half of the man's body has already protruded out of the cliff, and in this posture, he has almost nothing to bear.
So Li Rong only had time to look up to see the man's face, and then watched the man fall with her.
Just as the person fell with her, Pei Wenxuan finally arrived, but he only had time to touch Su Rongqing's half sleeve, and he watched the two of them fall straight down together.
Before he could react, Zhao Chongjiu grabbed him and shouted anxiously, "It's no use jumping along!"
Pei Wenxuan was a little stunned, Zhao Chongjiu slashed away the rushing killer with one knife, and grabbed Pei Wenxuan's arm: "Sir, the most important thing now is to protect the prince first."
Pei Wenxuan listened and turned to look at him, his arm being held by Zhao Chongjiu was tense, and the whole person seemed to be trying his best to control his emotions, Zhao Chongjiu couldn't help but lower his voice: "Sir, you are the biggest of your Highness now. Hope. Find Your Highness earlier, and His Highness will have more vitality."
"I know."
Pei Wenxuan lowered his head, he restrained his tone, "Immediately let someone go down the cliff to search the bottom of the cliff and find the princess."
"Other people, go to the prince."
When he said the first sentence, his voice was still a little trembling, and when he said the second sentence, he had completely calmed down.
He supported himself to stand up and brushed away Zhao Chongjiu's hand holding him, as if nothing had happened, but comforted the others: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the fighting situation behind him.
Li Chuan attracted most of the killers in the jungle, and when Li Rong fell off the cliff, Pei Wenxuan no longer had to worry about anything. Looking at the killers surrounded by his men in the jungle, he whispered: "Leave two alive for torture, and the others will be tortured. killed."
After giving the order, he was guarded by other guards and walked out of the forest. As he walked, he arranged everything, as if the previous incident did not affect him at all, but when Zhao Chongjiu looked away, he saw that the hand holding the sword was always there. Unstoppable trembling.
When Pei Wenxuan led people out of the jungle, Shangguanya and Su Ronghua had already brought Yu Linwei to control the situation.
Li Ming returned to the palace ahead of schedule, and Li Chuan was rescued from the forest.
He was covered in wounds. Pei Wenxuan rushed over. Li Chuan managed to open his eyes and looked at Pei Wenxuan panting, "Where's my sister?"
"Princess is fine. Your Highness will rest first and take care of yourself."
Pei Wenxuan responded calmly, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, he still had a feather arrow on his shoulder, panting lowly, and ordered with Pei Wenxuan: "I... I have to sleep. Wait for me, when I wake up, I want to see my sister. "
Saying that, Li Chuan raised his eyes and looked at Pei Wenxuan, with a little pleading in his eyes: "I'm afraid of you... I'm afraid that you will lie to me, I... I'm not at ease."
"Relax, Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan stood up and ordered Li Chuan to be carried into the tent, then turned to look at Li Chuan with a flat expression, "If something happens to the princess, I'll raise my head to see you."
After hearing this, Li Chuan finally felt relieved, gasped and closed his eyes, so that he was carried into the tent to recuperate.
When Li Chuan entered the tent, Pei Wenxuan looked back at Shangguanya and instructed Shangguanya to do everything that should be done tonight: "If Li Cheng is not dead, people in the palace will be watched. I am afraid there will be some variables in the northwest. Lin Feibai's people are always ready to enter early. His Royal Highness's injury must be watched, no matter whether it is life or death, it cannot be spread. There should be no major events tonight, and tomorrow, wait for me to come back. "
"Await your return?"
Shangguanya frowned: "Where are you going at this time?"
"His Royal Highness fell off the cliff, I'm going to find Your Highness."
Shangguanya was stunned for a while, Pei Wenxuan was too calm, so she couldn't imagine that something happened to Li Rong.
"I'll leave the rest to Miss."
Pei Wen announced a salute, and without waiting for Shangguanya to respond, he turned and left.
Shangguanya finally reacted and hurriedly said, "Pei Wenxuan, you..."
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Pei Wenxuan turned his back to Shangguanya and nodded lightly, "Miss don't worry."
After speaking, Pei Wenxuan stepped forward.
Now that it was night, he walked alone in the dark, and he walked steadily in every step, but for some reason, Shangguanya could see some uncontrollable determination and embarrassment from the steps he tried to control.
It was as if the person had exhausted all his strength and could not turn back.
At that moment, Shangguanya clearly realized that it was Li Rong who fell off the cliff, but it was Pei Wenxuan who fell to hell.
"Aya." Su Ronghua walked behind her, but Shangguanya didn't look back at him.
She stared at the back of Pei Wenxuan walking away, her voice was very soft: "Did you see it, Su Ronghua?" After saying that, Shangguanya turned around and looked at the young man standing behind her, she smiled, "Su Rongqing has long been out of control. He already formed an alliance with Concubine Rou, supported King Su, used Hongde to frame Pei Wenxuan, the military pay case, the imperial examination case, and even the current tax reform, winter hunting assassination, and your younger brother is involved."
"He can't allow His Royal Highness to take the throne, and the prince can't allow him either."
"I used to think," Shangguanya turned her head and looked into the distance, even in the suburbs, the winter stars were not very real, Shangguanya smiled, "except Your Majesty, there are not too many obstacles between us. As long as we wait until the prince ascends the throne, we can be together. In fact, you are right, and so do I. "
"But then I slowly found out that Su Rongqing can't tolerate the prince, and you can't give up Su Rongqing. I asked you if you would like to be the head of the Su family, and now I will ask you again."
Shangguanya looked up at him: "If the price of the crown prince's ascension is that Su Rongqing will die, would you like it?"
Su Ronghua did not reply.
Shangguanya's eyes were clear and bright, she laughed: "You don't want it. And the prince is the foundation of my Shangguan family. I can't give up the prince, and I can't betray the family. So you see," Shangguanya's eyes carried a bit of moisture, " You and I are dead ends."
"Thank you very much."
Shangguanya walked in front of Su Ronghua, she stretched out her hand and took out a set of leaf cards that Su Ronghua gave her.
"Thank you for letting me see that as a child of an aristocratic family, I can live with a sincere heart. But I'm sorry," Shangguan Ya smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "I will never touch the leaf card again in my life. "
Shangguanya handed the leaf card to Su Ronghua. She raised her eyes and stared at the people in front of her, they were so close, so close that she could feel their breath and temperature, all of which seemed to be two plumes of incense rising smoke, entangled and rising.
"Su Ronghua," Shangguanya finally said, "Leave Huajing, enjoy the mountains and water, and don't come back."
When the school ground was in chaos, Li Rong was hugged tightly by Su Rongqing and fell directly into the pool under the cliff.
The waves slapped hard, and Li Rong lost her sanity in an instant. When she woke up again, she felt like she was lying on a pile of dry grass with a fire burning beside her.
Li Rong stood up abruptly, and immediately noticed a sharp pain in her foot. She gasped, and quickly lowered her head. She saw that there was a long wound on her calf, which had been bandaged, but it still hurt when she moved.
Li Rong looked around again and found that this was a cave. The interior was not big. The fire was in the center, and a small bed was made of hay next to it. Li Rong slept on it.
In a corner not far away, Su Rongqing hid in the dark. He had the dagger Li Rong carried when he fell off the cliff by his hand. He was wearing only a white single coat. He seemed to be covered with wounds.
He seemed to have fainted, his hair was scattered, his face was a little morbidly pale, his whole body was leaning on a protruding boulder, his eyes were closed, and his brows were tightly frowned. Li Rong was not awakened by such a big movement. he.
Li Rong dragged her injured leg to Su Rongqing's side, bent down and took the dagger. As soon as she touched the dagger, Su Rongqing suddenly raised her hand and held her hand. Li Rong looked up coldly and saw Su Rongqing gasping at her. , showing a trace of pleading.
"Don't worry," Li Rong saw what he meant, pulled away his weak hand, took away the dagger, and said calmly, "I still have something to ask you, so I won't kill you for the time being."
With that, she turned around with the dagger, and sat by the fire again.
The sharp weapon gave her a sense of security. She hugged herself, the dagger, and sat for a while.
I don't know how long it took, it started to rain lightly outside, and the sound of the rain came. Su Rongqing finally spoke. He seemed to have caught the cold, and his voice was a little hoarse: "What do you want to ask me, Your Highness?"
Li Rong didn't speak. She looked at the throbbing flames. After a long time, she said, "I don't know where to ask."
"Your Highness may not ask."
Su Rongqing's voice was very soft.
But in fact, they all knew that when Li Rong planned to ask him, everything was already in Li Rong's heart.
Everything she did was just confirmation.
"In the last life, before I died, Pei Wenxuan came to see me. I smelled a fragrance on him. He is good at making fragrances. After that, I argued with him, and he said he wanted to kill me. After he left, you brought me a bowl of medicine, I drank the poison, and you told me that it was a beautiful woman, and I took it as Pei Wenxuan in order to support the second prince. Poison me, the sachet is the fragrance of Xiangmeiren, and the bowl of medicine is the medicine of Xiangmeiren."
"Later, Pei Wenxuan and I were reborn together. We checked the situation at that time, and I realized that the fragrance on Pei Wenxuan's body was the sachet you gave him. Bring herbal sachets so that I don't get a cough. I'll take you to kill me."
"At the beginning of the period, you weren't reborn, so it doesn't really matter what the matter is. I didn't go into it. Later, I learned that you were reborn, and I asked you. You told me that you killed me, and I'll make the final decision on this matter. ."
"Then," Su Rongqing's voice was a little weak, "Your Highness, what else do you want to ask today?"
"But today I think it's not that simple."
When Su Rongqing heard this, she slowly raised her eyes to meet Li Rong's gaze.
"Today, Pei Wenxuan used Xiangmei to poison Xie Chunhe, but after Xie Chunhe was poisoned, he didn't get poisoned immediately. It can be seen that something was delaying Xie Chunhe's poisoning. When I arrived, I found Xie Chunhe on his body. There is a strange scent, which is exactly the same as the last scent I smelled from Pei Wenxuan in the last life."
"At first, I thought it was a beautiful woman," Li Rong recalled the details of today, "but then the servant took the sachet away and left, Xie Chunhe immediately vomited blood, and the servant dipped the sachet into the water and said It was an expert instructing, this is the antidote, and then let Xie Chunhe drink the ingredients in this sachet with water. Therefore, I have reason to doubt," Li Rong paused, she raised her head and looked into the dark The young man, "What you gave Pei Wenxuan back then was not a poison, but an antidote to delay the poisonous hair of Fragrant Beauty."
"His Royal Highness is not good at mixing incense, I'm afraid I smell it wrong."
Su Rongqing answered calmly.
"You don't even know what I smell like," Li Rong couldn't help laughing, "Are you so sure that I smelled the wrong thing?"
Su Rongqing didn't answer, Li Rong looked at him: "Tell me, who killed me back then."
"It's me." Su Rongqing admitted decisively.
Li Rong looked at him and smiled, "Su Rongqing, I saved you."
Su Rongqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, Li Rong stood up and limped in front of Su Rongqing, she bent down and looked down at him: "I am your master, I have raised you for twenty years, I have never asked you anything in my life, today I beg you, tell me."
There was water vapor in her eyes: "Who killed me?"
"Your Highness..." Su Rongqing looked up at her, "It's not important."
"If it's not important," Li Rong laughed, "you go back and help Chuan'er take the throne with me."
Su Rongqing's eyes shrank suddenly, Li Rong observed all the details of his expressions, she crouched down and looked up at Su Rongqing: "Didn't you say back then that you would enter my princess' mansion, wear grass and hold a ring in return for life and death? Su Rongqing, you Are you going to break the contract?"
"Do not… "
"Then what about you and me to help Chuan'er ascend to the throne?"
"His Royal Highness, Li Chuan, he killed my entire clan."
"But now he didn't do anything," Li Rong chased after him, "Why don't you let him go?"
"You and I are both born again, and we can avoid many things. Let's help Chuan'er ascend to the throne together, you can be your Su family head, you can be good in this life, and I can be a matchmaker for you and let you marry a girl you like. With me here, Chuan'er won't do anything to the family. You don't have to worry too much," Li Rong said in a gentle voice, "Let's make Chuan'er an emperor together, and then we can be fine..."
"It won't be fine!"
Su Rongqing finally couldn't help it. He raised his hand and put it on Li Rong's shoulder: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. You can go back and leave Huajing with Pei Wenxuan. I will pick you up after a year."
"Come back to see Chuan'er ascend to the throne?" Li Rong asked with anticipation.
Su Rongqing couldn't control it any longer and shouted, "He can't be enthroned!"
After shouting this sentence, the two did not speak again.
Su Rongqing realized what he had said, but he didn't dare to raise his head, put his hands on Li Rong's shoulders, lowered his head, and breathed slightly.
Li Rong looked at Su Rongqing with pity on her face.
"So what?" Li Rong's voice was calm, "Do you think I care about what happened in my previous life? It doesn't matter who betrays me in the palace, I won't be sad."
"If you don't tell me, I know it. I must have been the poison of Zhongxiangmeiren back then, otherwise you wouldn't have used Xiangmeiren's antidote, and after Su Ronghua's death, only three people knew the formula of Xiangmeiren. You, Pei Wenxuan, And..." Li Rong felt that those two words were extremely difficult, and she seemed to have spent her whole life trying to say those two words, "Li Chuan."
"If it's not you and Pei Wenxuan, who else is there?"
"Rong Qing, I'm not a canary raised in the house. I can weather the wind and rain, and I've seen the sky and sea. If you still think I'm your highness, look up at me and tell me," Li Rong looked at him , in a gentle voice, "Who killed me?"
Su Rongqing did not speak.
It was raining outside, and Li Rong patiently waited for him.
After a long time, Su Rongqing finally spoke.
"Everyone."
Li Rong was stunned. Su Rongqing's hand holding her shoulder trembled slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at Li Rong: "It's me, it's Li Chuan, it's all of us who killed you together."
There was a thunderstorm outside the cave, and Su Rongqing's face was full of tears, but he seemed to have finally let go of something, and smiled extremely happily.
"So, Your Highness, do you know why, even if I reborn, I can't let Li Chuan ascend the throne?"
"You know why, obviously I'm reborn, I'm back, I'm fine, I'm still a man, but I want to watch you marry someone else?!"
"Don't I want to fight? Don't I dare to fight? Can't I win him?! Not at all!"
"Just because," Su Rongqing lowered his voice and looked at Li Rong with a smile, "I'm not qualified."
"People like Li Chuan and I are only worthy of living in hell."
"I should die, Li Chuan," Su Rongqing's eyes seemed to be a cemetery overgrown with weeds, "I shouldn't live either."
