The two followed behind Fu Lai, very close to each other. Li Rong approached Pei Wenxuan and said in a very low voice, "Be cooperative."
Before Pei Wenxuan could react, he saw that Li Rong saw Li Ming, then stepped forward, hurriedly knelt forward, and said loudly, "Father! Come and decide for your ministers!"
This sound made Li Ming's hands tremble, and Pei Wenxuan was also startled, but he did not show his face, so he respectfully bowed to Li Ming first: "Your Majesty."
"What's the big deal?" Li Ming raised his eyes and frowned, "Suddenly, do you still look like a princess?"
Li Rong said with anger on her face, "Imperial Father, listen to your servants, listen to the Qin family as soon as you wake up today..."
"Don't talk about it for now," Li Ming interrupted Li Rong as soon as he heard that it was about the Qin family, raised his hand to signal the two of them to get up and take their seats, then turned around and said to Pei Wenxuan, "You entered this matter last night. Gong came to find me, you said."
"Yes," Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "Last night, I was in the Princess Mansion with His Highness. I heard that the Ministry of Punishment had brought people around the Qin Mansion, and Wei Chen entered the palace overnight to ask to see His Majesty. His Majesty sent Master Su over there, but the documents issued by the Ministry of Punishment were complete. It is indeed reasonable and legal to arrest Qin Shi, so Master Su can only let it go."
In the process of trial cases in Daxia, ordinary cases are generally handled by the lower-level government offices and Huajing Shuntian Prefecture. If the lower-level officials cannot handle them, or if officials are involved, the lower-level officials or the censors will submit the case to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for review and filing. . The Criminal Department is in charge of ordinary and official cases, while the Dali Temple is in charge of cases involving royal clansmen.
After the Ministry of Punishment and the case are filed, if they decide to arrest, the internal officials will directly issue an arrest warrant. If the opponent's grade is too high, they will report it up to the left and right puffers, which is commonly known as the left phase and the right phase.
On the other hand, when Dali Temple filed a case for arrest, it needed to be reported to the emperor.
The Qin family is not a royal family, and the highest grade in the family is only the fourth grade. Even if Li Ming went, it would not make sense to forcibly stop him.
If this process is normal, it is nothing. But when the two sides were entangled in the issue of the canonization of the Northwest official position, their hearts were clear.
Li Ming already knew about this in the morning. He took the tea and said slowly, "So, what are you doing here?"
"After Wei Chen told His Majesty, on the way back to the mansion, he suddenly encountered a woman asking for help. Wei Chen rescued the woman and found that this person was the second miss of the Qin family. The Qin family and my father were old acquaintances. The two young acquaintances told Wei Chen that the Qin family was wronged, so Wei Chen took this Miss Qin back to the princess’ mansion and handed it over to the princess. After the princess interrogated, she learned that the Qin family was wronged and was angry about it,” Pei Wenxuan said, looking at Glancing at Li Rong, he continued, "That's why I entered the palace with the minister."
"Miss Qin ran out?" Li Ming pondered, raised his eyes and said, "Where is the person?"
"outside."
Pei Wenxuan responded, Li Ming glanced at Fulai, Fulai hurriedly went out and brought the person back.
Qin Zhenzhen was covered in wounds, and her blood had already stained her white clothes. She knelt in front of Li Ming with a pale face, and said respectfully, "I have seen Your Majesty."
Seeing his appearance, Li Ming sighed: "How can a girl's family be like this?"
After speaking, he raised his hand: "Get up."
The person next to him helped Qin Zhenzhen, Qin Zhenzhen sat in the seat, Li Ming saw her sitting down, and only said: "what's the matter, tell me."
Qin Zhenzhen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, officers and soldiers besieged the Qin mansion last night, and it is nonsense to mention that the Qin mansion colluded with the Yang family to betray the country. Under the crisis of my grandfather, I wrote this injustice in blood and handed it over to the people. The girl looks for an opportunity and presents it to Your Majesty."
Having said that, Qin Zhenzhen knelt down again and offered a box with both hands. Fulai hurried up and handed the box to Li Ming.
Li Ming opened the box and saw that it was a bright red book in blood, on which was the confession of the Qin family, saying that he had no intention of conspiracy. In addition to the blood letter of the confession, it also includes another stack of signed and signed papers, on which the Qin family members stated the battlefield conditions of the several battles they participated in. These "confessions" are all signed with the Qin family's names and dates, and all made an explanation, regardless of any other confessions in the future, this confession shall prevail.
Li Ming looked at them one by one. After a while, he looked up at these young people, and then said, "Miss Qin is seriously injured, Pingle, take care of Miss Qin first."
When Li Rong heard this, she stood up and helped Qin Zhenzhen to leave. Qin Zhenzhen's eyes fell on the box with the confession. Li Rong patted her hand and whispered, "Don't worry."
Qin Zhenzhen took a deep breath and finally walked out with Li Rong.
After Li Rong left, Li Ming and Pei Wenxuan stayed in the hall. Li Ming slowly closed the box and said slowly, "You brought this girl too early."
Now that the Qin family has no review results, these evidences are useless at the moment. Only when the verdict is finalized, can these confessions be used as the reason for overturning the case.
Pei Wenxuan knew what Li Ming meant, and said with a smile, "It's too early to overturn the case for Qin, but it's too early to prepare."
Li Ming looked up at Pei Wenxuan, but Pei Wenxuan lowered his voice, as if implying something: "Your Majesty, Princess Pingle is here."
"What are you selling?"
Li Ming sneered: "At a young age, those old ministers have learned a lot of tricks of pretending to be ghosts."
Hearing Li Ming's scolding, Pei Wenxuan was not annoyed, and still said with a smile: "Your Majesty, during the Yang Quan case, His Highness was imprisoned in prison, but for nearly two months, the Queen did not pay attention. Now His Highness Pingle Marrying as a wife, and seeing such injustice, it is natural to have anger in your heart."
Li Ming understood what Pei Wenxuan said. Knowing that Pei Wenxuan was implying that Li Rong and the queen had a gap, now that Li Rong is married, Pei Wenxuan fanned the flames, so he had other ideas. I want to use the Qin family's case to get something.
Li Ming didn't mind that the courtier got things from him, as long as the courtier gave enough weight. What's more, this courtier is Li Rong.
Li Rong is his daughter after all, if he can follow his wishes, that would be the best.
Li Ming picked up the tea from the table and said only, "What does she want to do."
"We have discussed with His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, "Now that the imperial family is huge, and the imperial government is weak, we always need a few people to be this icebreaker. Your Highness has a noble status and is the prince's sister. In terms of rank, Except for matters related to Your Majesty, in this court, whoever Your Highness cares about, as long as His Majesty is willing, it is all right."
Li Ming turned to the sandalwood beads in his hand and listened to Pei Wenxuan continue to analyze: "His Royal Highness is now poor, just a position."
"She wants power."
Li Ming said quietly: "How much power do you want?"
"That depends on what His Majesty wants His Highness to do."
Pei Wenxuan replied calmly, and Li Ming looked up at him: "What do you think she can do?"
Speaking, Li Ming sneered: "I gave her the power, can she keep it?"
"Isn't there still Wei Chen?" Pei Wenxuan reminded with a smile on his face, "Wei Chen, after all, is His Highness's husband. Besides, the Crown Prince is also His Highness's younger brother."
The prince represents the aristocratic family, no matter how the family is, it must also take into account the prince and the queen.
There are many things that others have done that may be a death. But Li Rong did it. If she really killed her, she would have to bear the anger of the prince, the queen, and the emperor. Without a limit, Li Rong could do far more than ordinary people.
Li Ming thought for a while, and then said, "You already have an idea?"
"Yes." Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, "It's all on the document that Her Royal Highness is going to present."
"Then," Li Ming hesitated and said slowly, "give me the book, I will think about it again, you bring Pingle back first, and let her take care of Miss Qin for a long time."
Pei Wenxuan responded, and Fu Lai got what Li Ming said, and hurried out. After asking Li Rong for the booklet she had prepared, he returned it.
Pei Wenxuan and Li Ming resigned. Before leaving, he set his eyes on the evidence in Li Ming's hand. When Li Ming saw that he was not leaving, he only stared at the wooden box by his hand. Just talk, what are you staring at this thing for?"
Pei Wenxuan smiled respectfully: "Your Majesty gives it to the minister, and the minister dares to ask for it. How can Wei Chen dare to take the initiative to speak if His Majesty doesn't speak?"
Pei Wenxuan was pervasive and said good things. Li Ming knew that Pei Wenxuan was touting, but he still felt comfortable and raised his hand to let Pei Wenxuan leave first.
Pei Wenxuan took the wooden box and retired respectfully. After he left, Fu Lai poured tea for Li Ming and said with a smile, "Mr. Pei is not very old, but he is a sensible person."
"Little Slicker." Li Ming laughed, and after thinking for a moment, nodded and said, "He is indeed capable of doing things."
Pei Wenxuan took the wooden box out and saw Li Rong waiting for him at the door. He handed the wooden box to Li Rong, and then said, "It's almost there, come back."
"How confident do you feel?" Li Rong's small fan tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, Pei Wenxuan thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "I listened to His Majesty's tone, it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll put everything on me. Lan, saying that I encouraged you, so that he won't think that you are too smart, and he will be more relieved."
Li Rong replied, she thought for a while, and suddenly realized that Li Ming and Pei Wenxuan seemed to have a good relationship now. She couldn't help but feel a little strange, and turned to look at Pei Wenxuan: "I think it's very strange, you said that no matter which emperor you can coax happily, why don't you coax me?"
"Am I not enough to coax you?" Pei Wenxuan turned around in shock.
Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "When did you coax me?"
"All the time, all the time," Pei Wenxuan said earnestly, "Your Highness, you are really difficult to coax."
"Bullshit."
Li Rong's small fan tapped Pei Wenxuan's head lightly, then walked forward with a smile.
Pei Wenxuan followed behind Li Rong, a little unhappy: "My Highness, I will discuss something with you."
"reject."
Li Rong stretched her voice: "It's definitely not a good thing."
"Don't knock me on the head again."
Li Rong squinted her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "Huh?"
Seeing Li Rong's eyes, Pei Wenxuan took a step back and discussed it, "Don't knock in front of people."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Rong's small fan gently knocked on Pei Wenxuan's head, and said softly, "Fool, what can I do if I knock you?"
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
When Li Rong saw that he was deflated, she laughed out loud, and as soon as the small fan was opened, she shook it and walked out. Pei Wenxuan watched the back quietly. At the end of July, the girl was wearing a maple red thin shirt, outlining her enchanting and soft lines, and matching the courtyard and red corridors that began to bring some autumnal colors, so that the whole picture was taken. A bit of flamboyant warmth.
Pei Wenxuan felt that his heart was like the warm sun in autumn, and it showed a lukewarm tenderness just right.
The two went out of the palace together and parted ways. Li Rong took Qin Zhenzhen back to the princess' mansion, and Pei Wenxuan went to the official office to continue working.
Qin Zhenzhen was injured, and after returning home, Li Rong had her bandaged, which was a complete rest. Then Li Rong began to check her account to see how much money she had left.
After all, whether it is to keep an informant or set up a supervisory department, it costs a lot of money.
Li Rong got up early in the morning and was sleepy as soon as it got dark at night. She braced herself to watch the latest information, and she felt blurry in front of her eyes. She yawned a few times, but she didn't realize it. He closed his eyes and squinted.
Pei Wenxuan came back from the official office. He thought Li Rong fell asleep, but when he arrived at the door, he saw that the house was brightly lit, and Jinglan Jingmei was waiting outside. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a little strange. Jing Lan whispered, "Is Your Highness still asleep?"
"Not yet," Jinglan replied in a low voice, "still doing business."
Pei Wenxuan nodded and pushed the door into the house.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Li Rong sitting on the edge of the desk, propping her chin, as if she was looking at something bored. Pei Wenxuan walked over without making a sound, and was about to speak when he saw Li Rong's eyes were already closed, although her head was propped up.
She was originally beautiful and beautiful, but when she was used to being fierce on weekdays, she felt high and high. At this moment, she closed her eyes and supported her head, trying to cheer herself up. Invisibly, she brought a bit of indescribable cuteness. This cuteness makes her The brows softened, and the beauty turned into a spring flower that stirred people's hearts, and floated lightly on the turbulent lake, making people smile unconsciously.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Pei Wenxuan gently took away the accounts at her hand. He wanted to wake her up, but after hesitating for a while, he felt that he was forced to wake her up like this. He was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. People hugged each other.
He picked up Li Rong, Li Rong opened her eyes, saw Pei Wenxuan, she leaned into the other's arms with kindness, and yawned, "Are you back?"
Seeing that her cat was leaning against his chest, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help laughing: "Why are you not vigilant at all? I have hugged you, so don't panic."
"What's the panic?"
Li Rong said confusedly, "I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?"
"I'm a man anyway." Pei Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Can you be a little more cautious."
"What about men?" Li Rong quarreled with him, sleepy and wanting to talk, and said vaguely, "Anyway, you are good-looking, and I don't mind if you are the face."
Pei Wenxuan, who was blocked by Li Rong's words, couldn't say a word.
He was helpless at first, but then he remembered that it was not surprising that Li Rong said so.
After all, she did raise a face.
It is said that it is a guest, but in fact, everyone knows what the relationship is. And according to Li Rong's temperament, it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't have a heart for that person back then and raised ten or eight with his head.
Pei Wenxuan didn't know for a while whether it was better for Li Rong to have a face that he cared about, or a bunch of faces that didn't care.
But no matter what, he felt chest tightness and panic. Especially when he thought of where Li Rong's habit of leaning on when he was picked up while he was half asleep came from, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
But he couldn't say anything. After all, he and Li Rong were just married couples in name. He couldn't control Li Rong back then, and he couldn't control Li Rong now.
He thought that he was just used to it. He was used to being jealous of the people around Li Rong, and he was used to hating Su Rongqing.
This habit will have to be changed in the future.
After all, in this life, they will be separated sooner or later.
Pei Wenxuan gently put Li Rong on the bed. Seeing that this person was sleeping happily, he felt a little helpless. He felt that because he thought about it so much every day, this person probably never thought about it.
Pei Wenxuan sighed, seeing that Li Rong's makeup was still on, he got up to fetch water, wiped Li Rong's face, removed the hair accessories on his head, and said in a low voice, "I took off my clothes and went to sleep."
Li Rong responded vaguely, and Pei Wenxuan got up to wash up. When he came back from the bath, Li Rong had already taken off his clothes and slept on the bed in a single shirt.
Pei Wenxuan lifted the quilt and lay in, and saw Li Rong turn over, she seemed to be awake, turned to look at Pei Wenxuan and said, "Did you help me transfer the news today?"
"what news?"
Pei Wenxuan frowned, and Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "Forgot?"
Pei Wenxuan recalled for a moment, before he remembered that it was about the imperial study in the early morning. He turned around, turned his back to Li Rong, and said in a muffled voice, "Tell you tomorrow."
"Do you usually have a bad memory?"
Li Rong laughed: "I told you this morning, you forgot?"
"There are too many things."
Pei Wenxuan responded, and after a while, he turned around, looked at Li Rong and said, "Why are you looking for him all of a sudden?"
"Suddenly?" Li Rong was a little strange. She lay on the pillow, her chin rested on her folded hands, and thought, "Isn't this what it should be? If I want to establish a supervisory department, I have to have some people, Su Rongqing. It's the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, or the investigator of the Qin family case this time, if I can let him cooperate with me, I will have someone from the Ministry of Punishment."
As she said that, Li Rong raised her hand and counted with her fingers: "Not only Su Rongqing, but also Dali Temple, Censor Terrace, Shuntian Mansion... I have to have some manpower for these. once."
Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's words, and he followed Li Rong's example, turned over, lay on the bed, and listened to Li Rong's words, he said slowly, "That's what you do?"
"Otherwise what else?"
Li Rong was a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, she remembered: "Of course, contact is also very important. It's not bad to have a chat with him during the office."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, and Li Rong looked up at him: "Why don't you speak?"
"Oh," Pei Wenxuan pretended to come back to his senses and said indifferently, "I just thought that if you really want to develop something with Su Rongqing, you must have a plan."
"This is also," Li Rong said slowly, propping her chin, "I used to be very resistant to marrying him, but thinking about it today, if I can really be with him, it's not a bad thing. He and I were bad in our past lives. With a bit of fate, he will definitely inherit the Su family in the future, I have a supervisory division, and I am from the Shangguan family. If I can marry the Su family again, my position will be stable in the future."
Pei Wenxuan listened quietly, and Li Rong was quite happy when she talked about this: "I liked him very much, and it's a good marriage anyway."
"You didn't think that way before." Pei Wenxuan's voice was flat, and Li Rong thought for a while, then said slowly, "Maybe it's because the knot of the last life is slowly unraveling in my heart."
Saying that, Li Rong turned her head to look at Pei Wenxuan and smiled: "Actually, I have to thank you for this. Since I came back to life, I think I have learned a lot."
"what?"
"I don't know what it is," Li Rong put down her hand, rested her head on her arm, and turned her face to Pei Wenxuan, "I felt a lot of things, and I slowly looked away, and my heart became more and more calm, and many things were also It's not awkward. Look at you, Qin Zhenzhen, and Chuan'er. From another angle, it's a different world. Then I'll look at Su Rongqing from another angle," Li Rong said with a little hope in her voice, "Maybe there will be new Find out?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong thought for a while, she approached him and poked him with her elbow: "Speaking of Qin Zhenzhen intends to give up the identity of the Qin family, she and Chuan'er are also impossible, you really don't think about it?"
"Not consider."
Pei Wenxuan resolutely interrupted, and Li Rong said "uh", with little interest: "Speaking of what you like, do you have any points in your heart, I can help you find it?"
"I don't have this plan for the time being," Pei Wenxuan said indifferently, "I'm embarrassed now, I'll wait for these things later."
"That's right." Li Rong nodded, "You are different from me. I have to worry about when Su Rongqing accidentally gets engaged to someone else. If you don't have a favorite, it doesn't matter."
Pei Wenxuan responded in a low voice. He didn't want to talk about it, so he said, "What are you going to do about the Qin family's case?"
"Wait," Li Rong said slowly, dangling her feet in the air, "when my uncle's people settle this case, we'll investigate. The Qin family will be fine, they can come up with anything decent. Evidence? If you continue to investigate, it will probably be full of surprises."
When Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong talk about the case, his tone became much more happy. He pondered for a moment, and then said strangely: "By the way, why don't you choose another way?"
"Which one?"
"I don't want to establish a supervisory department," Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked at her. "Actually, with your relationship with me and your identity, it's not a big problem even if you don't establish a supervisory department. Now you are Princess Pingle, if I gain power in the future. and will protect you."
"If you win?" Li Rong laughed, "Master Pei is very confident in himself. What if you lose?"
Pei Wenxuan choked for a moment, and Li Rong turned her head and said slowly, "Pei Wenxuan, I don't like giving my life to others."
"I like to decide my own destiny. This is doomed. I must covet power and have power."
"Why do I want you to protect me?" Li Rong turned to look at Pei Wenxuan with a childlike smile on her face, "I am happy that I can protect others."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he looked at Li Rong in front of him.
Li Rong was wearing a white single shirt with loose hair. Her single shirt had a slightly open collar, revealing some undulations.
Her arms were sticking out from her clothes, her feet were bent in the air behind her, she swayed involuntarily with her words when she spoke, and her round and clean feet glowed with a faint glow under the moonlight.
She said these words with a bit of naivety in her frankness, and her actions and tone were childish, as if a girl was talking about a beautiful fantasy.
But Pei Wenxuan clearly knew the weight of those words. He didn't know what was wrong. He watched Li Rong appear so innocent and ambitious, and watched her turn her head and smile at him under the moonlight, her lips parted with water. Zhang Hehe, his little tongue scratched the corner of his mouth inadvertently, and called his name: "Pei Wenxuan."
His body suddenly changed.
He suddenly realized that at this moment, Li Rong, an unsuspecting young girl with a mixture of innocence and lustful ambition, like a rose in full bloom trembling in the spring light, was an indescribable attraction to him. powerful.
This is Li Rong who belongs to him alone. No one else will be able to see Li Rong at this moment.
He felt that he was in a trance, and it was difficult to move his eyes away from her.
Li Rong noticed that Pei Wenxuan was staring at him in a daze, so she raised her hand and waved: "What are you in a daze? Did you listen to me?"
"Um?"
Pei Wenxuan forcibly retracted his eyes, changed direction without a trace, looked down at the embroidery on the pillow in front of him, and said indifferently, "What did you just say?"
"Forget it, you're always in a daze, it's boring."
Li Rong sighed and lay down: "Go to sleep."
Pei Wenxuan responded, and after a while, Li Rong couldn't help but ask, "What were you thinking just now? Are you so ecstatic?"
"I'm thinking," Pei Wenxuan's voice was a little hoarse, but he controlled it and didn't pay attention, he couldn't hear the hoarseness at all. Li Rong was thinking about other things, so he just listened to Pei Wenxuan and said, "Princess Your Highness is very beautiful."
Li Rong got this and laughed out loud.
"You said in the morning that you were coaxing me all the time, but I believe it now. That's all," Li Rong went to bed with contentment, "Bengong excuses you from the sin of distraction, go to sleep."
Pei Wenxuan knew that Li Rong thought he was joking, but he had no choice but to smile bitterly.
After a long delay, he finally closed his eyes.
Still get a bed.
Before closing his eyes, Pei Wenxuan clearly realized that he was not Liu Xiahui after all.
Li Rong, even as a friend, is also inadvertently provocative. For a man, if he is not careful, it is too easy to get emotional.
The author has something to say: [Small Theater]
Pei Wenxuan: "Your Highness, I want to sleep in separate beds."
Li Rong: "Huh? Why? You want to break up with me again?"
Pei Wenxuan: "No, I don't want to break with His Highness."
Li Rong: "Then what do you want to do?"
Pei Wenxuan: "I want to develop another development with His Royal Highness."
Li Rong: "Don't, I want more men, it's not easy to have girlfriends."
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
It seems to have developed something else sooner.
