Li Rong rode a horse all the way back to the mansion, and while on the way, she met the person Pei Wenxuan came to meet.
As soon as she arrived at the princess' mansion, she saw people coming and going in the mansion, which seemed to be extremely busy. Li Rong led the people into the bedroom, and when she saw the blood water coming out, she lifted the curtain and went in, and said directly: "Pei Wenxuan What about people? How is it?"
As she spoke, she saw Pei Wenxuan sitting on the bed, the doctor was helping him bandage the wound, his face turned pale, and seeing Li Rong come in, Pei Wenxuan was a little surprised: "Your Highness? Why did you come back so quickly? "
Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was fine, Li Rong calmed down a bit. She walked to the bedside, looked at the doctor, and said, "Is he alright?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness," the doctor said respectfully, "the wound has not damaged the muscles, nor has it been poisoned, just rest for a while."
Li Rong nodded and waited for Pei Wenxuan to wrap his hands, then the attendants backed away, leaving only two people in the room.
Pei Wenxuan looked up at Li Rong, smiled and said, "Aren't you tired from standing for so long?"
Saying that, he patted the bedside and said gently, "Sit down."
Li Rong sat next to him, sighed and said, "How could you be hurt? You're not a fool, so you could still be assassinated?"
"It's mine, isn't it," Pei Wenxuan said softly, watching Li Rong check his wound, "On the way back, a child sued the imperial court, but it turned out to be a special killer who was inadvertent. But don't worry, I have already Let someone check it out, and the results should come out soon.”
Li Rong responded, and Pei Wenxuan saw her bowing her head. After a short pause, he raised his hand, pulled her hair behind her ear, and said gently, "Your Highness is worried."
"Be careful after that."
Li Rong spoke in a low voice, then remembered: "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "Your Highness, have you eaten?"
"Nothing," Li Rong stood up, and naturally reached out to help Pei Wenxuan, Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes, covering the look in his eyes, and Li Rong helped him up, Li Rong helped him out, and couldn't help but said, "Apart from the hand, Where is the injury?"
"There are no other injuries," Pei Wenxuan smiled, "I was just frightened and a little scared in my heart."
"You'll be scared too?" Li Rong was a little suspicious, looked up at Pei Wenxuan and said, "You should get used to it too?"
"Your Highness, you will never get used to things like life and death." Pei Wenxuan shook his head, "But you just have to face it, so it's just a fake habit."
Li Rong thought about it and felt that Pei Wenxuan was right. She helped Pei Wenxuan to the table, let him sit down, and then let someone serve the food.
Li Rong asked Pei Wenxuan about the entire assassination process in detail. Pei Wenxuan answered in detail. When the food was ready, Pei Wenxuan stretched out one hand to pick up the vegetables. The soup next to him didn't move at all. Looking at Li Rong, who was drinking soup thoughtfully, he hesitated for a moment when he saw that she was not paying attention to the meal, and then said, "Don't think too much, now there are many people who hate me, after all, this kind of thing has to be done. If I encounter it, I can protect myself, and I will investigate this matter, eh?"
When Li Rong heard this, she regained her senses, nodded and said, "Well, yes."
Saying that, her eyes fell on Pei Wenxuan's hand holding the chopsticks, and then she saw the unmoving soup bowl next to her, she paused, and then put down the chopsticks.
"Your Highness?"
"I'll feed you."
Li Rong took the soup bowl next to it, blew it lightly, and brought it to Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan was stunned, and Li Rong urged him, "Drink it."
Pei Wenxuan was urged back to his senses, he lowered his eyes and took the white porcelain spoon that Li Rong brought to him.
He likes to drink soup before every meal. He thought that Li Rong never paid attention to this, but Li Rong actually knew about it.
Knowing that he likes to drink a bowl of soup first, and knowing that he is in front of her and doesn't want to lose his respect, so he doesn't drink the soup at all because he lacks a hand to carry the bowl.
Pei Wenxuan was fed the soup by Li Rong, and said with a smile, "I can eat the dishes by myself, so don't starve yourself, Your Highness."
Li Rong responded, took a handkerchief, wiped her hands, and took a few bites herself.
After Li Rong led Pei Wenxuan to dinner, she heard Shangguanya came over. She helped Pei Wenxuan back to the bed, let Pei Wenxuan rest first, and then turned back to the lobby.
Shangguanya was waiting for Li Rong in the lobby. When she saw Li Rong come out, she saluted, "Your Highness."
"Any eyebrows?"
"I've confirmed Su Ronghua's whereabouts. When the incident happened, he hadn't had time to return to Su Mansion, so he shouldn't have moved so quickly."
"It's not him." Li Rong affirmed, "The Su family wouldn't do these things. Su Lin was just demoted, and the other Su family members were not involved. They wouldn't assassinate Pei Wenxuan for this matter."
"Is the concubine all right?" Shangguanya glanced at the backyard, and Li Rong nodded, "There is no poison on the knife, they are just warning me. If I want Pei Wenxuan to die, and the poison is smeared on the knife, he is afraid that something has happened. ."
When Shangguanya listened, she couldn't help frowning, Li Rong closed her eyes, she sat in the chair and paused for a while: "This afternoon, I tried someone, I used a kite to intimidate me this afternoon, and I killed Pei Wenxuan at night. I'm afraid that some of their people have tipped off the news, put aside all the personnel entering and leaving this afternoon, and check the foundation again."
"Yes."
Shangguanya pondered, and Li Rong looked up at her: "You seem to have something to say?"
"His Royal Highness," Shangguan Ya thought, and said slowly, "Actually, at this point, all they want is to save a life. Now it's just a warning, but it's already pointed at the concubine. If they are interested, the concubine will be today. I'm afraid..."
"Speak straight." Li Rong's voice was flat, Shangguan Ya pursed her lips, "I'm afraid it's easy to break, why don't you take a step back?"
Li Rong didn't speak. She raised her eyes to look at Shangguanya. Shangguanya was only in her twenties now. It's human nature to feel apprehensive about this kind of thing.
"If they don't do it, I can let them live."
Li Rong stood up and said, "Now, either I die, or they die."
Shangguanya was stunned for a while, and then she understood what Li Rong meant, and no longer persuaded her, she only said, "What is Your Highness going to do?"
Li Rong pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "They are in the dark, we are in the light, after all, it is not a solution."
"Then what is His Highness's plan?" Shangguanya turned her head to the side, waiting for Li Rong's orders.
Li Rong thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "You go to check first, if you can't find the result, we can only lure the enemy to go deep, and then catch the turtle in the urn."
When Shangguanya heard this, she was a little puzzled: "What is the temptation?"
Li Rong raised her eyes and said calmly, "Me."
"His Royal Highness," Shangguan Ya said immediately, "No, this is too risky."
"Aren't they taking a risk in killing me?" Li Rong sneered, "If they have the guts, just think I don't?"
"Are they the same as you?" Shangguanya was anxious, "What is their identity, what is your identity? Your Highness, your consort will never agree to this idea."
"I asked you to tell him?" Li Rong looked at him coldly, "It's his turn to call the shots of this palace?"
Shangguanya was at a loss for words, and Li Rong didn't bother to pay attention to her. She waved her hand and said, "It's alright, you can go back first, go check it first, and it's best to do it directly if you can find the evidence, and then talk about it if you can't find it."
Shangguanya didn't speak. After a moment of silence, she turned around and walked out, saying impatiently, "I have to go and talk to the concubine."
"Stop!" Li Rong called to Shangguanya, "Why are you talking to him?"
"He can't control you anyway," Shangguanya laughed, "Can't I just chat with him?"
"Shangguanya," Li Rong sneered, "I'll borrow your courage."
Shangguanya stared at Li Rong. After a while, she became a little irritable and waved her hand: "Forget it, forget it, do what you like, it's not my life anyway."
After Shangguanya finished speaking, she waved her hands and walked out. Li Rong drank tea in the lobby for a while, got up to take a shower, and finally returned to her room.
In the room, Pei Wenxuan hadn't slept yet. He was wearing a white single shirt and a blue robe. He was sitting on the edge of the desk, looking down at the book.
Li Rong walked to the door, she didn't move, she just stood at the door and looked at Pei Wenxuan quietly. When the man didn't speak, he was like a painting, a landscape, waiting there quietly and tenderly, and gave it to her. Courage to come back.
Pei Wenxuan picked up the pen and wrote two lines of words, and realized that there was someone at the door. He raised his head and looked at the door. He saw Li Rong standing in front of the door, behind the courtyard night light, and looked at him silently.
Pei Wenxuan stared at Li Rong, and after a while, he put down his pen, beckoned to Li Rong, and said softly, "Your Highness, the door is cold, come and sit here."
Li Rong got the words and came to Pei Wenxuan's side. She sat down with Pei Wenxuan's movements and smiled gently: "What are you writing?"
"Just read the news from the informant," Pei Wenxuan looked at her, "Have you quarreled with Shangguanya?"
"When will your habit of exposing people's bottom line be changed?"
Li Rong sat down, leaned lazily on the table, and set her eyes on Pei Wenxuan's hand: "Does your hand still hurt?"
"If I say it hurts, can Your Highness help you blow it?"
Pei Wenxuan raised his hand, Li Rong raised his fan with a smile, pretending to hit him, but Pei Wenxuan didn't move, and looked at Li Rong with a smile, Li Rong's fan fell half an inch above the wound, but it couldn't go down. , Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand in front of her, and continued: "His Royal Highness blows, it won't hurt anymore."
"Are you a child?"
Li Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Pei Wenxuan sighed: "Alas, Your Highness really doesn't feel sorry for Wei Chen."
Saying that, Pei Wenxuan took her hand back, Li Rong glanced at him, and seeing Pei Wenxuan's sad face, she laughed out loud, raised her hand and said, "Come here."
Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand, Li Rong put his hand in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and then looked up at him: "You vulgar, your hands are beautiful, and you have a bit of fairy spirit."
Pei Wenxuan smiled and didn't speak. Li Rong hesitated for a moment, but when Pei Wenxuan didn't understand what she was hesitating about, she lowered her head and blew lightly on his hand.
The breath she exhaled was a little warm, and it spit into his palm, and then went all the way up to his wounded wound.
The temperature was crisp and numb, and Pei Wenxuan's eyes darkened. He quietly looked at Li Rong who bowed his head for him. Seeing that Li Rong was like a child, after blowing it, he raised his head to look at him and brought a few Fen Tianzhen said: "Is it better?"
Pei Wenxuan did not speak, his eyes first fell on Li Rong's eyes, then slid to the tip of his nose, and then stopped on his lips.
Li Rong was a little puzzled: "Pei Wenxuan?"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan laughed: "I thought His Highness wouldn't take it seriously."
As he said that, he pulled his hand from Li Rong's hand. Li Rong straightened up and said casually, "When I was a child, it hurt when I bumped into it. My mother blew it on me like this, and when I blew it, I really didn't feel much pain."
"That's natural."
When Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong stand up, he also got up. Li Rong heard him stand up and turned around to help him.
Pei Wenxuan had never been so taken care of by Li Rong, he did not show his face, followed behind Li Rong, and whispered: "Someone is willing to blow the wound for you, it means that someone cares, no matter whether the wound hurts or not, I am always happy. of."
"It's such a pitiful thing to say," Li Rong gave him a sideways glance, "It's as if I treat you very badly on weekdays, and it's as if you lack love and love."
"His Royal Highness, of course, is very kind to Wei Chen." Pei Wenxuan was talking to her, and he came to the bed. Li Rong helped him take off his coat, and then went to bed first. Pei Wenxuan watched Li Rong get into the quilt, went to the bed, turned off the light, and went to bed as usual.
His left hand was injured, but his right hand was still intact. After Li Rong lay down, after a while, she heard Pei Wenxuan say: "His Royal Highness, in fact, sometimes I can't help but think, what would it be like if you were a wife?"
Li Rong remained silent, but Pei Wenxuan said to himself, "His Royal Highness should also be a good wife and good mother. After all, although His Highness looks decisive, he is actually very gentle. Just now His Highness took care of Wei Chen, but Wei Chen felt as if he had something to do with him. It's like home."
Pei Wenxuan said, and secretly went to see Li Rong.
Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's words, and after a long time, she said slowly, "It shouldn't make much difference."
Li Rong said, looking at the bed tent with her eyes open: "I don't like things that will affect me, no matter who's wife it is, I should be pretty much the same now."
"how could be?"
Pei Wenxuan turned to look at her: "Your Highness, if you like someone, everything should be different."
Li Rong got this, and after a long time, she smiled softly: "But I don't know what liking is, and I don't like someone. Of course," Li Rong turned around, turned her back to Pei Wenxuan, and lowered her head "I don't expect anyone to like me either."
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while, he was a little incomprehensible: "Why don't you expect others to like you, Your Highness?"
"I am a person with a weird temper when it comes to relationships," Li Rong closed her eyes. "It's hard to like me, and it's even harder to like me for a long time. I have self-knowledge, so I don't think about it much."
"Why does Your Highness think so," Pei Wenxuan reassured her, "Wei Chen... In the last life, Wei Chen, didn't he like His Highness very much?"
"My liking is different from yours." Li Rong said calmly, "Like these two words are too heavy for me. For you, maybe that kind of feeling is like liking. But for me, I want to like it. ,too difficult."
Pei Wenxuan listened quietly. At that moment, he seemed to have found some differences between himself and Li Rong. He didn't know why, but he remembered that when he got married, Li Rong was still eighteen years old.
At that time, Li Rong was much more exposed than now, and many emotions were not hidden. Now more than 30 years have passed, and he doesn't know what to do. Hearing Li Rong talk about this, he actually thinks that Li Rong and the eighteen-year-old are the same. Years make no difference.
She seemed to be the same little girl, walking in the harem with him and talking to him about her past.
"People in the palace call me princess, but I know they all say that I have a weird temper and don't like me."
"But I don't care if they like it, it's fine if I don't. Does this palace still need to care about them?"
"Have you seen the Beiyan Pagoda? It was given to my mother by my father, the emperor. They said it was the father's love for the mother, but I don't think so. Can't afford any trouble, where can we talk about like and love?"
…
When Li Rong said these words, he was only in his early twenties. He actually didn't understand the true meaning of Li Rong's words. He just followed behind Li Rong, quietly listening to her, smiling and comforting a few words: "Your Highness, it's all over."
He thought that Li Rong just wanted to talk to him about the past, but now that he thinks about it, in fact, this is just Li Rong asking him for help.
Eighteen-year-old Li Rong was telling him what kind of relationship she wanted, what kind of person she was, she was holding herself carefully, and she was telling him, Pei Wenxuan, please learn how to love me.
This may sound a bit arrogant, and it is possible to pass on the most cowardly aspects of herself to others, which is already Li Rong's greatest sincerity.
But he doesn't understand.
Thirty years old taught him to understand people's hearts. Looking back, he felt heartbroken.
He thought that after so many years, Li Rong really didn't care about anyone as she said in prison. But after getting familiar with it, touching it, and touching it, he realized that that arrogant phoenix-like arrogance was just another kind of abandonment after extreme disappointment.
After all, in her last life, Li Rong never got a complete love for her.
Whether it was him or Su Rongqing, they all failed her in the end.
And she never showed the slightest bit, no matter whether it was love or hate, she never really imposed it on him and Su Rongqing.
Realizing this moment, Pei Wenxuan suddenly felt great pain and sourness in his heart. He couldn't help but approach her, put his hand on her body gently, and ignoring the pain of the wound, he hugged this person in his arms. .
Li Rong was hugged by him, lowered her eyes, and said with a low laugh, "It's too cold in winter, does Master Pei use me as a heater? Hug me every now and then, but you don't seem to be as reserved as you used to be."
Pei Wenxuan hugged her and didn't speak. After a long time, he said, "Your Highness, it's not difficult."
Li Rong was stunned for a while, then she heard Pei Wenxuan whisper: "Your Highness, it's not difficult to have someone who loves you wholeheartedly."
Li Rong didn't speak. She listened to Pei Wenxuan's words. She felt ridiculous at first, then felt a little unspeakable regret, and finally turned into a bit of daze, and a bit of expectation that she barely realized.
She subconsciously wanted to speak.
She wanted to ask, how can something that has never been obtained in her life, someone she has never seen, not be difficult
But she didn't speak. She would ask these words when she was young, but now she doesn't ask them anymore.
It does not matter.
She doesn't care.
Li Rong's silence, in Pei Wenxuan's heart, was a lingchi that was overdue for 30 years.
It wasn't because he was rejected by Li Rong, but he realized that he had left Li Rong alone and walked alone for 30 years.
He suddenly had a great urge, he should tell her, just like she told him that Pei Wenxuan is good and that Pei Wenxuan can like others.
He also wanted to tell her that whether she refused or accepted, he wanted to speak to her.
Li Rong, there is a person who likes you, especially likes you.
