Li Rong had long known that Xun Chuan was coming to ask about this matter. After being silent for a while, she said slowly, "Tomorrow I will write an excerpt, and I will participate in the performance of the Censor Desk and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment for dereliction of duty and wrongful handling of wrongful cases."
"Neglect of duty?"
Xun Chuan repeated: "Your Highness means, are they just negligent in their duties?"
Li Rong was silent, facing Xun Chuan's inquiry, she felt a sense of powerlessness rising up, she opened and closed the folding fan in her hand, after a long time, she slowly said: "Xun Chuan, it's not that I don't want to do it, it is I can not do it."
She looked up at Xun Chuan and said seriously, "I'm sorry."
Xun Chuan was stunned, she looked at Li Rong in disbelief: "Your Highness, you are Your Highness Princess Pingle, and the chief inspector."
"It's all just fame." Li Rong smiled bitterly, "Without real strength, no matter how much fame is, it's useless. Do you know why I can investigate this case now? Not because I'm Princess Pingle, nor because I'm The chief inspector, but behind me, is the prince and his majesty, because I am the eldest sister of the prince and the princess supported by the majesty. The family is afraid that the prince will alienate them and the emperor will blame them, so they dare not kill me. Why are you afraid of the Crown Prince and His Majesty? That's also because His Majesty is the Majesty of the world. His Majesty has military power, financial power, and the right to decide whether others should become officials; and the Crown Prince also has the power to decide the promotion of others, supported by the Shangguan family. The Shangguan clan has a government army, a large amount of land, and officials serving in the court."
"Money, military strength, this is the real foundation. Only with these can determine their fate and become the real chief inspector of the inspectorate as you know."
"If you want to investigate Qin's case thoroughly, you need to thoroughly investigate the entire Censor's Office and the Department of Punishment," Li Rong analyzed. "This is not something I can do."
Xun Chuan listened to Li Rong's words, she couldn't help clenching her fists, she said with some difficulty: "In this world... Could it be... that there is no place where we can seek justice?"
Saying that, she looked up at Li Rong: "I want justice, is it so difficult?"
Li Rong listened to her words and looked at Xun Chuan's painful eyes. Li Rong suddenly felt a little tired. She couldn't bear to speak, but she still had to answer: "It's difficult."
Xun Chuan froze in place, Li Rong looked at Xun Chuan's appearance, and felt a little inexplicable in her heart, she turned her head and said calmly: "But this is not the case. I will participate in the performance tomorrow. After that, the officials who dealt with this matter will be punished according to their guilt. After a while, Aya will bring the list of people involved in this matter. After you get the list," Li Rong was silent for a moment, then said slowly, " Do what you want to do.”
When Xun Chuan heard this, he looked at Li Rong in surprise. Li Rong took the tea and said, "After you're done, Huajing, you can't stay any longer. Go to the northwest as I told you before."
Xun Chuan listened to Li Rong's words, she paused for a long time, she knew that this was the best way, but for some reason, she still felt that something was pressing on her chest.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand to her forehead, knelt in front of Li Rong, kowtowed slowly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Rong lowered her eyes and replied, "Yes."
After Xun Chuan finished the big ceremony, he stood up and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, please retire first."
Li Rong didn't look at her, but said, "Go ahead."
Xun Chuan walked out the door, and when he reached the door, Li Rong couldn't help but stop her: "Xun Chuan."
Xun Chuan stopped, Li Rong looked at her back standing in front of the door, she pursed her lips, and after a long time, she said slowly, "I'm sorry."
"When I'm sorry, it's not Your Highness," Xun Chuan turned his back to her, his voice a little dazed, "It's this world."
"Actually, I don't understand," Xun Chuan said, turning around, she looked at Li Rong who was sitting at the table, her eyes were confused, "Isn't justice something that should be in this world? Why is it so difficult? ?"
She has abandoned her identity, changed her name and changed her surname, and went to death.
According to people's legends and texts, her family should not be punished in court, and those who harmed them should be upright and punished.
Why does she even punish those who do wrong, in private, for fear of disturbing the world and doing it quietly
Li Rong listened to her words, she was silent, Xun Chuan looked at her with all questions, at that moment, she seemed to see Su Rongqing in her previous life, knelt in front of her, and asked her with a smile, "Your Highness, Where is Su's mistake?"
"Justice is what this world deserves," Li Rong said with difficulty, "not now."
"When was that?"
Xun Chuan asked again, but Li Rong couldn't answer for a while. Xun Chuan took a deep breath and saluted Li Rong: "I'm sorry, Your Highness."
"It's okay."
Li Rong lowered her eyes and waved her hand: "Go and rest first."
Xun Chuan went down in response. After she went out, Li Rong sat on the spot. After a long time, she raised her hand and pushed everything on the table away.
When Pei Wenxuan came in, he heard a loud bang, and saw that the items on the slip were pushed to the ground by Li Rong. He was a little surprised, stepped into the room, bent over to pick up the overturned inkstone, and smiled. He put it on Li Rong's desk: "What's wrong with Your Highness, so angry?"
"It's nothing," Li Rong lowered her eyes, she slowed down, raised her hand to pick up the papers at her feet, and whispered, "Your papers are all approved? During your sick leave, I'm afraid you have accumulated a lot. Is it the matter?"
"Not yet, I just heard that Lord Xun left just now, I'll see how Your Highness is doing," said Pei Wenxuan, half squatted down, tilted his body, looked up at Li Rong from the bottom, and said with a smile, "I just saw it. Your Highness has lost his temper."
"I didn't lose my temper," Li Rong said with a cold face, "Go and do your business."
"Your Highness is duplicitous again."
Pei Wenxuan looked at her with a smile: "Obviously I'm angry."
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong looked up at him and warned, "You're very busy, aren't you?"
Seeing that she was really angry, Pei Wenxuan didn't joke. He straightened up, and while packing the book, he whispered, "His Royal Highness doesn't say, why don't I guess."
"You get out."
"Master Xun's character has always been stubborn, and the case cannot be handled clearly. I am afraid that Master Xun has a grudge in his heart. Did she quarrel with His Highness?"
"You guessed wrong, go out."
Li Rong took the book from the side, lifted the pen on the pen holder, opened the book, and pretended to be serious.
Pei Wenxuan didn't care, he arranged the table, picked up the things on the ground one by one, put them on the table, and arranged them neatly.
In the process of doing these things, he seemed to be picking up Li Rong's heart. He gently picked up the papers, piled them up, smoothed them out, and said slowly, "Then, Lord Xun accepted His Highness's thoughts, and he didn't. Complain?"
Li Rong didn't speak, but Pei Wenxuan chuckled: "If that's the case, His Highness must be blaming himself."
"get out!"
"I guessed it right." Pei Wenxuan was happy, Li Rong squeezed her pen tightly, and stared at him with a warning. Pei Wenxuan laughed and shook her head helplessly, "You."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and took the person into his arms. Li Rong had a bit of temperament, but when he pulled her into his arms like this, she leaned against this person and suddenly felt a little wronged.
This was an experience she had never had before.
When she was with Pei Wenxuan in her last life, she was still young and rarely involved in political affairs. Later, the two also parted ways. When it comes to sad things, it is good that this person does not ridicule. How can there be such a gentle time.
Li Rong leaned against his chest, and he didn't speak. After quietly hugging the person for a while, he said slowly, "Your Highness is not happy, just tell me."
"Prefer not to say."
"In the past life, when you were sick, I went to ask the imperial doctor," Pei Wenxuan embraced the person in his arms, thinking of the last days of his last life, his tone couldn't help softening a lot, "The imperial doctor said that you are depressed, You are too worried, and you have been a boring gourd in your last life, no one listens to you, and now I am here, can you still talk about it?"
Li Rong leaned against Pei Wenxuan, she closed her eyes, and after a long time, she said, "I thought you wished me to die at that time."
"I thought about this when we quarreled," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "but I feel a little sad when I think about it. I think you, an old witch, should live a long life."
When Li Rong heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, Pei Wenxuan heard her laugh and knew that she was happy, he thought for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, in this life, you really have a long life. "
In her last life, she was not in good health. As soon as winter came, she was on the sick bed. Sometimes he went to see her and heard the news that she was ill. On and off.
He didn't want to go through this kind of thing again, he wanted Li Rong in this lifetime, and when he was old, he would be able to live in peace and stability without suffering from illness.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but hug Li Rong tightly. Li Rong noticed his emotions, she leaned against him, and after a long time, she said slowly, "Pei Wenxuan, what's the use of the princess?"
Pei Wenxuan hugged her and listened quietly. Li Rong was a little jerky when she talked about these things, but she leaned on this person and heard him say that he wanted her to live a good life, so she couldn't hold back and said aloud Come.
"Xun Chuan asked me to ask me for justice, which is something the world should have, so why is it so difficult. In fact, I think she asked naively, where is there real justice in this world, but she asked me that, but I was saddened. Now, you said it was me who was naive?"
As Li Rong spoke, she couldn't help laughing: "What does these things have to do with me? She is a teenager, she should be innocent, how can I still feel sad because of these things when I am so old?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he paused for a while, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, do you remember, when I sent Yang Lie out, you asked me, you said that when I was young, I also wanted the common people to have a better life, and finally I’m still arguing with you for private rights. I didn’t argue with His Highness at that time, but I was actually afraid of His Highness’s jokes.”
Listening to this, Li Rong looked up at him, a little strange, Pei Wenxuan looked at the eighteen-year-old girl, and he smiled softly: "Actually, I am too, I am a few decades old, and my heart is the same as His Royal Highness. "
"Seeing injustice makes me sad."
"Seeing the people displaced makes my heart sad."
"When I see the soldiers fighting on the battlefield and can't return, I also think, when will there be a peaceful and prosperous world, and everyone will live a peaceful life."
"Of course I'm not a saint, nor a good person. I want to survive first, have a good life, and my family is safe, and then I think about it. Even I am much more cowardly than His Royal Highness, and care about gains and losses."
Pei Wenxuan said and sighed: "Just like the case of the Su family back then, I also felt it was inappropriate, but I didn't dare to dissuade me like His Highness, for fear of losing my Sacred Heart. In the end, it was also because His Majesty felt guilt towards His Highness. I was afraid that something might happen to Your Highness, so I went to persuade Your Majesty."
"I don't dare to say this to others, especially not to His Highness, for fear that His Highness will laugh at me."
"What's the joke?" Li Rong laughed, "You have a good heart, it's a good thing."
"So," Pei Wenxuan turned around and returned her words to her, "Your Highness has a good heart, it's a good thing."
Li Rong was stunned for a while, and then she realized that Pei Wenxuan went around in circles, but he was actually persuading her.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Wenxuan helped her to get up, sat on the side of the couch, tidied up her skirt, knelt in front of her, and looked up at her: "His Royal Highness, there is no justice in this world that falls out of thin air. , there are only the rules set by the strong. Whatever Your Highness wants, just ask for it, don't feel sad. After all," Pei Wenxuan smiled, put his hand on Li Rong's cheek, and said gently, "Now Your Highness is only eighteen years old. ah."
"You still have a bright future, and Wen Xuan will always be with you. The world you want will definitely come."
Li Rong was silent as she stared at the young man in front of her.
His eyes were darker than ordinary people, like ink, with a brightness that was rarely seen by ordinary people.
In fact, Li Rong also knew that Pei Wenxuan's position was too different from hers, and he was very scheming. The future he promised should not be trusted.
It's not that he deliberately wants to lie to her, but the future is never up to anyone.
Now they are still cooperating, and the contradictions are not obvious, but one day, their differences will be revealed. Pei Wenxuan may have forgotten what happened in her last life, but she always remembers it.
Pei Wenxuan has his political ambitions, whether it is because of what he calls "naive" or what she thinks is "selfish", he is a different person from her after all.
But I don't know why. At this moment, he looked up at her and said sincerely and tenderly that he would accompany her. She had an unspeakable moving expression spontaneously.
She wished they could stay in this moment.
There is no selfish desire, no estrangement, he is with her, he is Pei Wenxuan.
And she doesn't want too much, as long as he can give so much, she feels enough.
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong whispered and couldn't help laughing, "Whether what you said today is true or not, I thank you."
"Whether Your Highness believes it or not," Pei Wenxuan looked at her without caring, and said softly, "What I said is true."
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong looked at him, "then I promise you one thing?"
"Um?"
Pei Wenxuan was a little dazed, Li Rong calmed down and said calmly, "No matter what the future holds, at least I will stand with you before Chuan'er ascends the throne."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan's face changed suddenly, Li Rong said gently: "You and I will always be friends, you don't have to worry."
The author has something to say: Pei Wenxuan: "I said so many good things to you and you want to be friends with me? No way!"
