The moment such thoughts surfaced, Pei Wenxuan calmed down.
This is a big deal. If he said these words easily at this time, it would be too disrespectful. Even if he said it, Li Rong would not take it to heart.
More importantly, in this case, he wanted to tell Li Rong at the best time, so that Li Rong would be happy and remember it for a lifetime.
Whether Li Rong accepts it or not, at least she will keep that moment and Pei Wenxuan in her heart forever.
Pei Wenxuan was thinking about how to say this, Li Rong saw that he was holding her and didn't speak, so she raised her hand and patted his hand, and said peacefully: "Okay, sleep, hold her like this, doesn't your hand hurt? ?"
"It hurts," Pei Wenxuan leaned his head on Li Rong's back and whispered, "It doesn't hurt to hold His Highness."
"Nonsense." Li Rong sneered, put him on her hand and gently pushed it away, closed her eyes and said, "Go to sleep."
The two closed their eyes, Li Rong slowed down for a while, and suddenly remembered: "I plan to go to Beijing in a while, do you want to go?"
Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan felt a little more energetic: "Out of Beijing?"
"Well," Li Rong closed her eyes, "Find a place to go for a stroll, just go and play."
After listening to Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan had some plans in his heart, and he pondered, "Have you decided where to go, Your Highness?"
"Wait for me to see."
Li Rong pondered, she had to find a place where it was easy to ambush.
The two of them went to sleep with different thoughts. The next day was not yet dawn, and Pei Wenxuan woke up early. Li Rong felt a rustling sound next to her, thinking that Pei Wenxuan had woken up at that time, and then she noticed that there was a party The handkerchief was gently placed on her eyes, and then a light came on. After a while, Pei Wenxuan walked back, shook her gently, and said softly, "Your Highness, get up."
In the past, Pei Wenxuan would not call her. He usually let her fall asleep, he changed her clothes, and only called her when she got out of bed.
Li Rong was a little puzzled, opened her eyes, saw Pei Wenxuan's bandaged hand, and then remembered that Pei Wenxuan's hand was injured, and it was a little difficult to support her with one hand.
Li Rong opened her eyes in a daze and saw Pei Wenxuan waiting beside her and said, "Your Highness, sit up first."
"It's okay."
Li Rong shook her head and crawled out of the bed. Pei Wenxuan hurriedly put her clothes on. Li Rong pulled the clothes herself, and then said, "I'll just wear it myself."
Saying that, Li Rong put her clothes on, she turned her head and looked at Pei Wenxuan who was still wearing a single shirt: "Aren't you cold?"
"I'll wear it right away."
Pei Wenxuan smiled and went to pick up the clothes herself. Li Rong saw that it was inconvenient for him to use one hand, so she yawned and walked to the bed, picked up his clothes, and put them on him: "I'll help you."
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while, but Li Rong didn't notice anything. She asked Pei Wenxuan to put the gloves into her clothes and raised her hand to button up the inner button for Pei Wenxuan.
She had never done this before, so she looked a little clumsy, standing in front of him with her head bowed, like a child just learning to do things.
Seeing Li Rong like this, Pei Wenxuan had an unspeakable emotion.
The most attractive thing is not the person who candidly said countless coquettish coquettish, but she is like a little girl, bowing her head in front of you, revealing her slender and beautiful jade neck, learning to button a button for you, raising her hand from behind He looped, as if he was hugging you, but he didn't, his fingertips slid lightly over his waist, and he did nothing, raised his hand in front of him, tied the belt tightly and knotted it.
Pei Wenxuan looked at the girl in front of him and tried to restrain all his impulses, keeping his usual gentleness on his face, until Li Rong raised his hand to tidy up his clothes, he hurriedly pulled her, he opened his mouth, Then he was a little dumb: "His Royal Highness, there is no need."
Li Rong was still a little sleepy, but she didn't notice anything wrong. She looked up at him and said, "Why is your voice hoarse, but you're cold?"
"Maybe a little bit." Pei Wenxuan adjusted his voice in a hurry to hide the strangeness. Li Rong raised her hand and touched his forehead, and instructed, "You are injured now. If you have a fever, it will be incredible. Take a good rest and don't worry about other things. Everything is up to me."
"His Royal Highness..." Pei Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Why do you keep stealing my words?"
Li Rong smiled and said softly, "If you can't fall asleep, just read a book. You asked me to do it for you earlier. You should rest first."
After saying that, Li Rong called someone in and waited on the two of them to wash up. Then she put on her clothes and went to the court. Pei Wenxuan took her out the door all the way. He wanted to go to court, but Li Rong forced her to stay. , let him stop him in the house.
After Li Rong went to court, she reported the assassination of Pei Wenxuan, Li Ming asked for a strict investigation, and Li Rong took the matter down by the way. When she returned to the Superintendent, she found that the door of the Superintendent had been spattered with feces. Li Rong laughed angrily, turned to look at Su Ronghua who was following her, pointed at him, and said, "Master Su, this kind of Why don't you check?"
Su Ronghua smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness, this kind of thing looks like some village women are making trouble for the people, and it can't be done if they find out."
"Why can't you do it?" Li Rong said coldly, "If you really can't do it, I'll have someone pour it into your Su Mansion tomorrow!"
Su Ronghua's expression froze. He seemed to have seen the scene of people throwing feces at the gate of the Su family. He immediately changed his words and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll deal with it now."
Li Rong was too lazy to say any more, so she led Shangguanya in, and Shangguanya said in a low voice, "How can Your Highness let him take care of this?"
"Why don't you care?"
Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and Shangguanya immediately echoed: "Master Su is indeed suitable."
After the two said this, they entered the Inspectorate, and Li Rong whispered, "Any clues about the assassination yesterday?"
"Not yet."
"Then see where in the suburbs are suitable for ambush," Li Rong thought, "If we can't find any clues after seven days, we have to take the initiative and take care of everything before the new year."
Li Rong laughed: "I have a better year too."
"Your Highness is right."
Shangguanya, when she objected, she opposed it with all her might. If she agreed, she would do everything cleanly. When Li Rong heard her answer, she felt relieved. She led the people to the prison and made the final analysis of all the confessions and evidence.
Now all the evidence is about the same, only the final conviction is left. Once the crime is convicted, send the book to the top and wait for the emperor to approve it.
The more this is the case, the more things happen. In the morning, the door of the Inspector Division was splashed with feces, and in the evening, someone at the door of the Princess Mansion brought money over.
Li Rong was directly stopped outside, and she walked back to the princess' residence. After seven days in a row, things were almost handled, and Shangguanya almost found out some clues.
"It's Chen Guang's family, the killer who took great pains to buy it."
Shangguanya followed Li Rong out of the cell, Li Rong wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and listened to Shangguanya saying: "Chen Guang has a high status in the Chen family, he is the only son of Mrs. Chen, if he dies, the Chen family will be completely lost. There should be many big clans behind the Chen family, but now His Highness has offended too many people, and it is unclear who is secretly supporting the Chen family."
"Is there any evidence?"
Li Rong asked in a low voice, and Shangguanya shook her head: "No, they did it very quickly, and this conclusion is only inferred, there is no evidence."
"Has Chen Guang been convicted?"
"It's settled," Shangguanya said in a low voice, "According to His Highness's instructions, he was convicted by beheading."
Li Rong responded, she thought for a while, and whispered, "Have you found a suitable ambush location in the suburbs?"
"I found it," Shangguanya and Li Rong walked to the lobby, she took a map and pointed to a location: "This is the Butterfly Gorge, there are cliffs on both sides of this place, at this location, we can help His Highness in advance. Find a place suitable for concealment, as long as Your Highness leads people over and hides in a safe place, we can catch the turtle in the urn."
Li Rong nodded and replied, "Then it's set here. Five days later," Li Rong raised her eyes, "I will take Pei Wenxuan on an outing in five days. If they want to start, this is the perfect time."
"His Royal Highness is going to bring his concubine?" Shangguanya was a little strange, "What are you taking him for?"
"I want to go out by myself, it's too deliberate. They're afraid they will be vigilant," Li Rong pondered. "Bringing Pei Wenxuan out is a cover."
"Then you won't tell him?"
"Tell him, will he let me go?"
Li Rong asked directly, Shangguan Ya paused, and after a while, she sighed and said, "Your Highness, you have such a temper, you are so blessed."
Li Rong didn't bother to pay any attention to her, she just said: "Since they dare to take action, I'm afraid they will make complete preparations. You have to make a final plan for the ambush in Butterfly Gorge. Is there any water there?"
"Yes," Shangguan Ya replied, "there is originally a stream, I went to see it, the water flow is not turbulent, there are many caves next to it, and the water flow connects the small caves next to it. If Your Highness encounters a unavoidable situation, you can jump in water."
"Prepare some gunpowder." Li Rong pondered, "If you encounter the worst case, jump into the water and light the fuse. But if you get to this point," Li Rong raised her head and sneered. "You decide how to punish yourself."
"Don't worry," Shangguanya said immediately, "I will definitely arrange it."
After Shangguanya and Li Rong finished talking, they decided on a plan, and the two went their separate ways and went home.
When Li Rong returned to the princess' house, she saw Pei Wenxuan was reading a book. She walked behind Pei Wenxuan, and after reading for a while, she found that he was reading some folklore books.
"It's really too busy at home," Li Rong laughed, took the script from his hand, flipped through his name, and looked up at him, "Lord Pei also sees this kind of thing."
Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong got up together, and the two walked to the dining room skillfully. Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong and said tentatively: "Wei Chen has nothing to do, just take a look at it, but after watching it for a while, I found that there are many interesting things in it. , even Wei Chen couldn't understand it."
"Oh?" Li Rong used to read a lot, but when she heard that Pei Wenxuan was actually interested in this kind of thing, she couldn't help but say, "For example?"
"I just saw the scholar confessing to the woman he likes. Wei Chen thought about it, he likes nothing but a sentence, but the scholar has been preparing again and again. Why is this?"
Li Rong couldn't help laughing when she heard Pei Wenxuan's question: "Pei Wenxuan, I didn't expect you to be such a disinterested person."
"Wei Chen doesn't understand," Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong entered the dining room together, took their seats, and said with a humble and polite attitude, "I also ask Your Highness to clarify your doubts."
"Like is indeed a word, but you said that if a man said this to a woman, what would he actually do?"
Pei Wenxuan was puzzled, and Li Rong smiled: "What he wants to do is to establish a relationship, from this moment onwards, they belong to each other. If there is no ceremony for such an important matter, wouldn't it look like that girl? Not being taken seriously?"
Pei Wenxuan listened with a look of sudden realization: "His Royal Highness said it very well, and the minister is very enlightened."
Li Rong sighed: "You just haven't chased a girl, and you've never told anyone that you liked it seriously, so you don't understand it."
With that said, Li Rong habitually served the soup. Recently, after Pei Wenxuan's hand was injured, Li Rong fed him the soup. Pei Wenxuan watched Li Rong blowing the soup and pursed his lips to hide the smile in his eyes, as if he was curious: " I don't understand, from the way His Highness understands so well, you must have encountered a lot of such scenes, right?"
Li Rong's movements froze, and after a while, she put the bowl away, turned her head and said, "Come and serve the concubine to drink the soup."
Seeing Li Rong's anger, Pei Wenxuan hurriedly said: "I just asked casually, Your Highness, I think a woman like you is born into a fish and a geese, smart and pleasant, dignified and noble, and a man who likes Your Highness should not care about it. number, so there is this question.”
"Pei Wenxuan, I found out that you have always had the ability to lift the pot without opening it," Li Rong looked at him and sneered, "I don't have it, do you have it?"
"I… "
Pei Wenxuan was so scolded by Li Rong, and he wanted to refute it subconsciously. After all, he was such an excellent man who had lived his whole life and deserved a few girls to confess.
However, when he opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't either.
Before getting married, during the time in Luzhou, some girls would throw flowers for him, but it was not a confession.
Later, in Huajing, the girls in Huajing didn't look down on him at first, and soon he became Li Rong's concubine. Li Rong was in the clouds almost all her life, and she had power and a strong personality. This Huajing girl was afraid of death. It was even farther away from him.
So the rebuttal words were kept in her mouth, Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan was embarrassed, and she smiled: "So it turns out that no one in Master Pei's life has ever said that he likes you?"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan concealed his embarrassment with a smile; "Isn't it the same with Your Highness?"
"Lord Pei and I are different," Li Rong blinked, "I like it and many people have told me."
"Who?!"
Pei Wenxuan asked subconsciously, and his mind quickly turned around.
Su Rongqing might be one of them.
But Li Rong said a lot
Before Li Rongcheng got married, she didn't meet many foreign men in the palace, so there shouldn't be many. Later, in the courtroom, she was married, and anyone dared to seduce her behind his back? !
Pei Wenxuan's face turned ugly for a while, Li Rong observed and smiled at him. Pei Wenxuan quickly asked a few names that were close to Li Rong in the courtroom. Li Rong watched him ask anxiously, and the more she looked, the more she thought about it. Laughing, and finally she lifted her fan and patted Pei Wenxuan's hand: "Don't make a fool of yourself, they are all inexperienced characters. Thinking that they are good-looking, they recommend a pillow seat and want to find a way to Qingyun."
"Aren't they afraid of death?"
Pei Wenxuan was a little shocked, and Li Rong thought about it: "Maybe my style is not good?"
After all, compared to ordinary women, at that time she was indeed not reserved enough in the outside world.
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan felt a little turbulent in his heart.
He didn't even know that it turns out that men in this world can be so spineless and courageous, and in order to seek a road to Qingyun, they are not afraid that he would dare to propose a pillow seat.
It's because he underestimated these men too much. He didn't defend well in his last life, so he must be more vigilant in this life.
Pei Wenxuan stabilized the many thoughts that had grown in his heart, and then he remembered his original purpose and changed the subject: "Then how did they tell His Highness this?"
"Just... just say it casually." Li Rong also seemed to feel unseemly and didn't want to say more, so she asked, "Why do you keep asking all this?"
Pei Wenxuan smiled: "I just read the scholar in the book and said that I like it, and I have to choose a special place. I think it is too grand. I want to ask Your Highness, are other people really like this scholar?"
"Look at the heart or not."
Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan seemed to be really asking questions rather than making a point, so she casually said, "Those who are conscientious can do better than what is written in the book, and those who are unintentional may not even say a word of their liking."
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
He always felt that Li Rong was implying something, but looking at Li Rong's expression, he felt that he was thinking too much.
"If you have a heart, that's all you need to do. Do you still need me to think?"
Li Rong was a little strange, and Pei Wenxuan continued, "What should Shangxin do?"
"At least know what the other party likes, doesn't like, and wants most," Li Rong thought, and said slowly, "In fact, you can learn from Su Rongqing."
Hearing the name, Pei Wenxuan smiled, Li Rong said it, but felt that it was wrong, she looked at Pei Wenxuan and saw the same smile on Pei Wenxuan's face, she felt a little guilty, Pei Wenxuan said gently: "Your Highness, what did you say?"
"I... I don't mean that you are not as good as Su Rongqing."
Li Rong explained quickly, and Pei Wenxuan laughed: "Your Highness, am I such a stingy person?"
Really.
Li Rong didn't dare to say this, but she saw that Pei Wenxuan looked fine, and she thought that Pei Wenxuan had put aside her grievance with Su Rongqing and wanted to get rid of it, so she continued: "Do you remember, every winter, Princess Are there peonies in the house?"
"Well, I remember." Pei Wenxuan nodded, and Li Rong smiled, with a little nostalgia in her eyes, "Su Rongqing knows that I like peony flowers, but not plum blossoms, so every year, he will deliberately cultivate peonies in the greenhouse. The peonies in Princess Li's mansion were all raised by him."
"At that time, I thought, this is probably the heart."
When Pei Wenxuan heard this, his face didn't move. He picked up the tea and took a sip. Li Rong raised his eyes, feeling rather uneasy: "Why don't you speak?"
"Wei Chen is just a little emotional. I didn't expect Master Su to be so kind to His Highness at that time."
Li Rong always felt that Pei Wenxuan said this, the atmosphere was very strange, she nodded reluctantly, and replied: "Indeed."
"But I remember, His Royal Highness actually likes it the most, it should be the peony."
Li Rong was stunned for a while, and after a while, she laughed: "This even lets you know."
"The peony is not expensive enough," Li Rong said slowly, "and since my mother was young, I was taught not to let people easily know what you like, even if it's a flower."
Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's words, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Wei Chen understands."
"Oh, by the way, you can make time in a few days."
Li Rong said, suddenly remembered, and said with Pei Wenxuan: "I want to take you to Butterfly Gorge to have a look. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful and beautiful."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan laughed: "It is a blessing for Wei Chen to be able to travel with His Royal Highness."
He said, the Butterfly Gorge had already been outlined in his mind.
It is indeed a beautiful place, with gurgling streams and interspersed banks and hills. It is perfect for setting up a place of love.
While Li Rong was drinking tea, she also sketched a circle of Butterfly Gorge in her mind.
Surrounded by mountains on both sides, the vegetation is exuberant, and it is perfect to set up an ambush there.
