With their own thoughts, the two began to make their own preparations.
The case in Li Rong's hands has come to an end, everyone has been convicted, more than 70 officials, more than 40 were demoted, 13 were exiled, 7 were executed, and a few others committed suicide just after the investigation. not included in it.
This booklet was in Li Ming's hands, Li Ming considered it for a day, and finally came down with the word "quasi".
After the book was submitted to Menxia Province for review, Menxia Province refuted it on the same day, and counted the past achievements of those officials. The summary is two words: too heavy.
Li Rong was too lazy to talk to these civil servants, so she asked Pei Wenxuan to write an essay for her to scold her.
Pei Wenxuan has a good temper recently. He sits next to her at night. When she scolds, he writes it in a different way.
She was tired of scolding, so he brought her a glass of water to moisten her throat.
On the surface, she was fighting with the people of these noble families, and secretly sent people to set up an ambush in Butterfly Gorge. The day before she was going to Butterfly Gorge, she instructed Shangguanya to bury gunpowder in Butterfly Gorge just in case. That night, Shangguanya came to report to her: "Your Highness, have you ever mentioned the ambush in Butterfly Gorge?"
Li Rong looked up from the document: "What's wrong?"
"There is another group of people doing other things in Butterfly Gorge."
"Something else?" Li Rong became vigilant, "Can you figure out who it is?"
"I thought you knew," Shangguanya laughed, "it seems to be the consort."
"Consort?" Li Rong was a little surprised, "What are his people doing there?"
"I don't know yet, but they transported some flowers in a lot today, as if they were arranging something."
When Li Rong heard her words, she thought for a while, and then said, "Wouldn't it be great if you transport a lot of flowers?"
"Exactly." Shangguanya seemed to be a little happy, "I was still worried, what would happen if the Chen family didn't move about His Highness's trip. Don't worry now, the concubine's appearance today has long been shocked. Someone from the Chen family. The informant from the Chen family reported the news tonight that many people came to the Chen residence today, and Mrs. Chen had withdrawn a lot of gold and silver from the account, I am afraid she is preparing."
"Jiang is still old and hot." Li Rong was a little helpless, "Sure enough, I still can't hide Pei Wenxuan."
"The concubine is a smart person," Shangguanya laughed, "His Highness has come this far, and he understands that he can't stop His Highness, so he simply helps His Highness."
"If it happens tomorrow, everyone will be rewarded."
Li Rong became happy, and then she remembered: "The gunpowder was buried?"
"Buried." Shangguanya said, took out the topographic map depicting Butterfly Gorge, pointed the location to Li Rong and said, "Place these three points, after Your Highness enters Butterfly Gorge, in the third pool, jump After going down, swim to the west, and after ten zhang, see the light probe, it is a hidden small cave, any accident, Your Highness can hide in this cave."
Li Rong nodded and asked Shangguanya about the whole process in detail. Seeing that it was getting late, she went out with Shangguanya. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Su Ronghua who was planning to go out together. Su Ronghua saluted Li Rong. Respectfully: "Your Highness."
Li Rong nodded: "Master Su has gone back?"
"Yes." Su Ronghua laughed, "His Royal Highness and Miss Shangguan also plan to go back?"
The three stepped out of the Inspectorate together, and Li Rong laughed: "It's not too early."
"It's been cold recently," Su Ronghua said respectfully as he sent Li Rong to the carriage, "Your Highness, it's better to go out less recently."
When Li Rong heard this, she couldn't help but pause for a moment. She turned her head around and her eyes fell on Su Ronghua. After a long time, she smiled softly: "Thank you Master Su for reminding me, it's getting late, Master Su should avoid walking at night. Bar."
Su Ronghua chuckled lightly, with a bit of helplessness on his face: "Your Highness, it's not up to Wei Chen to decide whether to walk at night or not. The only thing Wei Chen can do is to walk under the lights as much as possible."
"As crazy as Su Da Gongzi," Li Rong was a little puzzled, "Can't you choose to go or not?"
Su Ronghua didn't speak, he raised his hand to salute, and said in a low voice, "Respectfully send your Highness."
Li Rong looked at Su Ronghua, and after a while, she finally nodded and said goodbye to Shangguanya and Su Ronghua.
When Li Rong returned to the mansion, he saw that Pei Wenxuan was still waiting for her. He heard her return in advance and waited at the door. As soon as Li Rong entered the mansion, he saw the young man in blue standing on the corridor.
Seeing Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong laughed unconsciously. She walked in front of Pei Wenxuan, clapped her hands and patted Pei Wenxuan's shoulder, and encouraged, "Good job."
Pei Wenxuan was a little dazed, and he said carefully: "Well done, His Highness said, he meant..."
"I know what you did in Butterfly Gorge."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan was shocked. He didn't expect Li Rong to care so much about him, and even inquired about such details. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but said: "Since Your Highness knows, then tomorrow..." Pei Wenxuan felt a little uneasy, "Is Your Highness still planning to make an appointment?"
"With so much thought, how can you not go?"
Li Rong laughed: "You can do as you want, but you have to do it beautifully."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan was a little stunned for a while, his heart beat faster, and he looked at Li Rong's back, with his hands behind him, walking forward. He opened his mouth to ask a lot of questions and felt offended.
Since Li Rong knew what he was doing in Butterfly Gorge, with her cleverness, she naturally knew what he was thinking. She could still allow him like this, does it mean... another kind of response
Pei Wenxuan didn't dare to think too much, he was afraid that he would think too much, so he couldn't help but talk too much, but he was ready to talk about it tomorrow, so he laughed and said solemnly: "Your Highness, rest assured. , I'll make arrangements."
Li Rong nodded and said happily, "Okay, let's eat."
That night, Li Rong was in high spirits, and Pei Wenxuan felt a little uneasy when he saw that she was happy.
He thought that Li Rong should be looking forward to his performance tomorrow. If he did not perform well, would Li Rong be disappointed
He knew Li Rong's temperament, and she was very cautious, so she shouldn't let her down because of his one confession. But she seems to be looking forward to tomorrow, she should be looking forward to what he can do for her tomorrow.
The little girl always has a bit of vanity, and wants to get special care and hospitality, but Li Rong has seen many big scenes, and Pei Wenxuan is not sure for a while whether he can give the answer that Li Rong wants.
Pei Wenxuan was thinking about tomorrow, but he didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning in the night, and afraid of arguing with Li Rong, he only simulated tomorrow in his mind over and over again, every word that should be said, every thing that should be done tomorrow, Every detail...
After he confirmed them one by one, it was almost dawn.
Both of them had deliberately asked for leave. Li Rong stayed in bed and fell asleep, while Pei Wenxuan got up early and went to the next room. After grooming, before dawn, he left the city ahead of schedule.
Li Rong slept soundly. When she woke up, it was already dawn. She yawned and got up, and saw Jinglan come to wait on her. She couldn't help but ask, "Where's the concubine? Why don't you see anyone else?"
"The concubine left early this morning."
Jinglan smiled and said, "He left a message saying that he was waiting for His Highness in advance at Butterfly Gorge."
"How many people did he take with him?"
Hearing this, Li Rong first thought about Pei Wenxuan's safety, Jing Lan knew what Li Rong meant, and replied with a smile: "The concubine has taken out all the elite secret guards under his name, rest assured, Your Highness, the concubine will make arrangements. OK."
"That's good."
When Li Rong heard that Pei Wenxuan had brought all the elites out, she felt relieved, and she was more sure of what happened today. Pei Wenxuan probably knew what happened.
She was served by Jinglan, put on her clothes, and went to the dining room to drink porridge. Then Jinglan led her into the carriage and headed out of the city.
Li Rong brought a lot of people and looked mighty. Jinglan and Jingmei were sitting in the carriage with Li Rong, and Jingmei couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, with so many people, who would dare to approach you?"
Li Rong was drinking tea when she heard Jingmei's flowers and looked up at her with a half-smiling smile: "You are still too young. If I don't bring it alone, I'm afraid others will not dare to approach."
"Ah?" Jingmei was at a loss, "I don't understand what Your Highness said."
Li Rong smiled and sat on the carriage with nothing to do, and then patiently explained to Jingmei: "I put my identity here, and now at the critical moment of the case, I still travel in such a high-profile manner. If I don't take strict precautions, it must be There are backers. Compared with Mingzhi's strength, secret arrangements make those killers more afraid. After all, Mingzhi has so many people, and the level of danger is placed here. Whether they have the ability to shoot, you can tell at a glance. "
"Then what if they see His Highness taking precautions and don't do anything?"
Jingmei was a little dazed, Li Rong was quite helpless, took a fan and looked at her head, and said helplessly: "Of course I got the news, that's why I'm so prepared, don't worry."
Li Rong said with a cold look in her eyes: "Chen Guang is the only seed of the Chen family. Even if the old lady tries her best, she will save people. Some people are willing to be knives. How can those who want to do it miss this opportunity?"
"It just happened to be cleaned up," Li Rong laughed. "They have to kill chickens all day long to show the father and the emperor. Show me, I really think I have a good temper, and there is nothing to do with them."
When Jingmei heard these words, she couldn't help but glance at Jinglan. She actually didn't quite understand it, but she seemed to understand.
Jinglan poured tea for Li Rong and said softly, "Your Highness is right."
Li Rong and Jinglan Jingmei were chatting, but Pei Wenxuan was busy in the Butterfly Gorge.
Pots of peony were opened in the canyon, and Pei Wenxuan instructed the man to place the peony in a good position, turning the entire Butterfly Gorge into a sea of flowers.
"Young Master," Tong Ye walked down the path and said happily when he came to Pei Wenxuan who was standing in the sea of flowers, "His Royal Highness is here."
When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his head and said, "Then I just started to warm the wine. When His Highness arrives, there will be warm wine to drink."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan asked him to put a small stove for warming wine beside the long table he had set up, and then warmed up a pot of peach blossom brew.
After the fire was set up and the wine was put in, Pei Wenxuan knelt down before the long table, raised his hand and touched the guqin on the long table.
He has not played the piano for many years.
In the past, Li Rong liked to listen to him play the piano, so he always played the piano for her after the court. The girl would lie at the table and look at him quietly. When the song was over, she would laugh and say happily, "Pei Wenxuan, you are so beautiful."
He also doesn't know whether this person really likes listening to the piano, or just thinks that he looks good playing the piano, but that doesn't matter, she likes it, that's enough.
Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and stroked the strings gently. At this time, Li Rong's carriage also left the city, getting further and further away from Huajing.
Seeing that they were about to reach the Butterfly Gorge, the arrows fell like rain and slammed into the wall of Li Rong's carriage.
The people outside turned their backs on their horses, and the sound of hacking and killing suddenly became one.
Li Rong sat in the carriage with a calm expression, and coldly reminded the people next to her.
"coming."
