Li Rong was shocked when she heard the news, and then said coldly, "Where is Master Xun?"
"In the long pavilion on the outskirts of the city."
"Go away now."
Li Rong gave this order, and then instructed the carriage to turn around, and then sat back in the carriage.
She seemed to be in a hurry, she squeezed her fan tightly, her face was ugly and tense, Pei Wenxuan poured her a cup of tea and reassured: "It's not surprising that Luo Jian has not seen anyone for so long, Your Highness, calm down."
"They are simply arrogant!"
Li Rong shouted angrily: "Knowing that I'm already investigating this matter, you dare to kill people directly. Do they think I'm a vegetarian?"
"I know you're pursuing this matter."
Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "That's why they have to kill people."
Li Rong didn't speak. She raised her eyes to look at Pei Wenxuan, who looked terribly calm: "If your supervisory division is successfully established, it will be too much of a threat to the family. They will do whatever it takes to force you back at this time. , If you win this battle, the position of the Inspector General will be stabilized in the future. If you lose, it will be difficult for either His Royal Highness or His Majesty to build another team to compete with the noble family in the future."
"Of course," Pei Wenxuan said slowly, "His Royal Highness and my future are over."
Pei Wenxuan spoke very peacefully, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter. Li Rong slowly calmed down in his words. This kind of confrontation is not new. She has experienced countless times in her previous life, but she has not been with her for many years. Pei Wenxuan was tied together in this way.
She couldn't help but look at Pei Wenxuan, looking at the young man in his early twenties. Pei Wenxuan was leaning against the table, watching the people coming and going outside the window, as if he was thinking about something. He noticed Li Rong's eyes, turned his head, and looked Xiang Li Rong, seeing Li Rong staring at him, he couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, what do you see me doing?"
"I just remembered," Li Rong laughed, "It seems that it is the first time that we are doing things like we are now."
"In the first year of marriage, our relationship was not bad," Li Rong knocked on the palm of her hand, turned her head to look out the window, with a bit of nostalgia, "But at that time, I was still young, and the affairs of the court were ignorant, and I didn't know much about it. Something like this happened."
"Later, something happened. You and I have been quarreling often. The only time I was touched by you was in prison. I thought you would give up on me and Chuan'er and go to Concubine Rou."
As Li Rong spoke, she couldn't help but look at it again and said with a smile, "Why didn't you run at that time?"
Pei Wenxuan was silent, and Li Rong didn't care much, and then added: "Afterwards, we couldn't say that we had a good relationship. On the one hand, we were on guard and on the other hand, we helped. It has never been as harmonious as it is now."
"What if I told you that I never thought about giving up on you?"
Pei Wenxuan spoke suddenly, Li Rong raised her head in surprise, and saw Pei Wenxuan looking at her calmly: "I never violated the covenant between you and me in the last life."
So that year, Li Chuan abolished the prince and Li Rong was imprisoned. He was in a high position, and he never thought of relying on others.
He subconsciously, even after arguing with Li Rong for many years, at the first moment, he chose to go to prison without hesitation, and watched the man make a promise to let her wait for him to come back.
Li Rong was speechless, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Pei Wenxuan laughed: "We have gone through so many tests, isn't it right for you to believe me in this life?"
"After all, except me," Pei Wenxuan said seriously, "no one can guarantee that no matter what the circumstances, I will not betray His Highness."
Listening to these words, Li Rong chuckled, and she said gently, "I don't believe in promises."
"I know." Pei Wenxuan also smiled, "I just said it casually."
"Don't say it in the future," Li Rong sighed. "You said it, and I want to take it seriously, but I know in my heart that these words can't be taken seriously, and it hurts to think about it. It's better that I never heard of it."
"I don't know how to speak," Pei Wenxuan apologized quickly, "It bothered His Highness."
The two chatted casually, and then reached the outskirts of the city. As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Rong jumped down immediately. There were a few people standing beside the pavilion. Li Rong led Pei Wenxuan hurriedly over, and hurriedly said, "Where are the people?"
"Your Highness come with us."
The man answered and led him into the woods next to him. Li Rong followed the man for a moment when he saw a group of people standing around a place. Xun Chuan was wearing a mask and stood beside him, clenching his fists.
Li Rong stepped forward and said coldly, "What's going on?"
As soon as she approached, she smelled a stench, and before she turned around, Pei Wenxuan stepped forward and blocked Li Rong's sight: "Your Highness doesn't have to look."
"Step aside!"
As soon as Li Rong pushed Pei Wenxuan away, she saw more than a dozen excavated corpses.
Li Rong looked at the corpses all over the floor, turned her head to look at Xun Chuan next to her, "Have you done an autopsy?"
"I've tested it." Xun Chuan said in a hoarse voice, "I have also confirmed their identities. They are all the witnesses involved in the case."
"All dead?"
Li Rong spoke in disbelief, and Xun Chuan nodded: "All are dead, not one left. I checked these days and found that they left Beijing one after another on the same day. Before leaving Beijing, they left a large amount of money for their family, saying yes I want to go back to the northwest. I chased them along the way, and found that they had never stayed at any post station or teahouse on the road. I inquired carefully about the place where they last appeared, and kept narrowing the scope, and finally found this place. "
Li Rong didn't speak. She was silent for a moment, then said, "Dispose of the body and put it in Yizhuang. How did you find it here?"
"There is a scholar in Changting not far away, who happened to be seeing off friends at Changting that day. I met a group of people who drove a group of people into the woods, and they behaved suspiciously. I asked the owner of the teahouse about the whereabouts of the guests he could find. Found this scholar."
"What about people?"
"It's been taken care of."
When Li Rong heard these words, she felt relieved. She thought for a while, and then said, "Let me follow the scholar's confession to continue the investigation, and then go to His Royal Highness." Li Rong pursed her lips, "Let him give it to me. Find someone and find a way for me to go to the Punishment Department to see Lord Qin once."
Hearing this, Xun Chuan froze. She raised her eyes to look at Li Rong. Although she didn't say anything, Li Rong understood what she meant.
"You go with me, just..."
Li Rong spoke, but before she could finish, Xun Chuan interrupted her: "I understand, Your Highness, don't worry."
Qin Zhenzhen has been killed in front of the princess' mansion, bullying the king and bending the law, no one can afford this responsibility.
Li Rong responded, and Xun Chuan asked someone to arrange it.
Li Rong stood by the side for a while, she quietly looked at the corpses, and after a while, she turned around and said, "Let's go."
Pei Wenxuan accompanied her, followed behind her, and got into the carriage together.
After getting on the carriage, Li Rong closed her eyes, and after a while, she smelled a scent wafting from the tip of her nose, only to realize that Pei Wenxuan took the incense burner from the drawer and lit the incense.
Li Rong laughed: "You still have such leisurely elegance?"
"You're used to seeing this," Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "This fragrance soothes the mind."
After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, he covered the incense burner, and then he sat next to Li Rong. Before Li Rong could react, the man had already rolled up his sleeves, crossed the back of her neck, put his hand on her shoulder, and then used The other hand pressed her head against his shoulder.
This posture seems to completely isolate her from the outside world. There is only the smell of incense on the tip of her nose mixed with the light fragrance on his body. These smells and his temperature isolate everything, creating an unusually warm and peaceful atmosphere for her. world.
"Close your eyes," Pei Wenxuan said softly, "Don't think about anything, I'll accompany you."
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong closed her eyes as he said, but still said, "It's not the first time I've seen a corpse, you don't have to take care of it like this."
"I remember Kangping ten years ago, you and I went to the punishment department once," Li Rong leaned against Pei Wenxuan and listened to him slowly talking about the past, "You watched the prisoner execute the execution, I saw your hands shaking, you tried to prevent others from When you find out, you hide your hands in your sleeves, put them on the armrests, and keep that posture for an afternoon."
"I do not remember."
"Then you came out and vomited. Su Rongqing stood beside you, comforting you all the time, bringing you tea and water."
Li Rong stopped talking, she listened quietly, and then listened to Pei Wenxuan: "When I came back that day, I kept thinking, I should hold you, light incense, talk to you, maybe you will It will be much better."
"I didn't do a lot of things in the last life, and I didn't do it."
Pei Wenxuan said, looking down at Li Rong: "In this life, if there is anything I haven't done well, your Highness remember to tell me."
Li Rong leaned against her quietly, listening to his heartbeat. Pei Wenxuan was puzzled: "Your Highness?"
"Very good."
She opened her mouth and said nothing.
She thought about Pei Wenxuan's words, and finally found out what Pei Wenxuan said from the distant memories of her previous life.
Just after finding it, it was inevitable that I thought of Su Rongqing back then.
She suddenly realized the difference between Su Rongqing and Pei Wenxuan. Su Rongqing did her best to her, but she was also respectful and courteous. In Su Rongqing's eyes, she seemed to be born cold and powerful, so he never thought that she would be afraid, and he never thought of her. Need occasional help.
Su Rongqing would always stand behind her, like a shadow, looking back, but so far away.
Her feelings for Su Rongqing were different from those of Pei Wenxuan back then. She always thought it was because she met Su Rongqing too late, so it was difficult for a teenager to be moved.
Only now did she realize that it was because Pei Wenxuan was kind to him without reservation and sincerity.
It was an inadvertently stealing kiss under the night sky, it was the interlaced fingers on the bed and said the future with a smile, it was her slightest movement, and he could know what she really wanted.
And Su Rongqing's kindness to her will always be far away.
Accompanying him for more than ten years, he has never exceeded half a point. Even an occasional kiss is cold and desperate.
Li Rong closed her eyes and didn't dare to think too much. Pei Wenxuan held the person in her arms and said slowly, "I didn't want you to watch this, but you have to. Then I'll mix some soothing incense for you, you can bring it with you at any time. Come on, when this happens, bring me here."
"That's all for the last life. In this life, I have been with Your Highness and will not let His Highness suffer any grievances."
Pei Wenxuan said, but when Li Rong didn't respond, he looked down and saw that Li Rong seemed to be asleep.
He could not help laughing when he saw her sleeping peacefully by himself.
He watched for a while, wanting to kiss her on the forehead, but was afraid that she would wake up, and finally hesitated for a moment, only lowered his head and gently kissed her hair.
Li Rong slept with him all the way to the city. After entering the city, the two went straight to the punishment department. After arriving at the punishment department, it was already nighttime. already arranged.
After all, Li Chuan has been rooted in the DPRK for many years, and there are many more people who can use it than Li Rong. After Li Chuan arranged the person, Li Rong immediately got off the carriage. She led the person to the entrance of the penal department, and saw a person wearing a black robe already waiting there.
Li Rong was a little surprised, she had some guesses in her heart, she hurriedly stepped forward, and the other party turned around, revealing his still immature face in the night.
"Sister," Li Chuan said seriously, looking at Li Rong, "I will accompany you in."
