Li Rong was thinking about losing money, and unconsciously covered her forehead.
She glanced at Pei Wenxuan, then turned her head back, not knowing what to do, she felt a little wronged for no reason.
Pei Wenxuan seemed to know nothing, looked down at the book in his hand, and said nothing.
The two went to the Princess Mansion in silence. As soon as Li Rong jumped off the carriage, she saw Shangguanya who was standing in front of the Princess Mansion. When Shangguanya saw Li Rong, she asked in surprise, "Your Highness, what's wrong with your forehead?"
As soon as Li Rong heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Pei Wenxuan behind her.
Shangguanya can see that Pei Wenxuan is really blind.
"It's okay, let's go ahead and talk about it, did you hear the news?"
Li Rong looked away from Pei Wenxuan's face, and led Shangguanya into the mansion. Pei Wenxuan watched the two go back to the study together. He stood in the courtyard, turned around and instructed others: "Go and take the jade Bring me the muscle cream and gauze."
Li Rong entered the room with Shangguanya, and Shangguanya immediately said, "I heard that Chen Guang's mother was hit and killed in the court today."
"Well," Li Rong sat down and said the matter again: "Xie Lanqing came to me in the morning to inquire about the situation, and then they brought Chen Wang out in the courtroom. Chen Wang killed him and said that we tortured Chen Guang, He also said that he had never been stabbed, and he wanted to prove his innocence with death, so he killed him."
"It's ruthless," Shangguanya sighed and sat opposite Li Rong, "Qin Zhenzhen gave them inspiration. You used Qin Zhenzhen's death to force a retrial of the Qin family case, and now they take Chen Wang's case Force this case to end. Your Highness," Shangguanya leaned back on the chair, "is this case still ours?"
"How do you think my head bloomed?"
Li Rong glared at Shangguanya, and then said: "I have agreed with the royal father, and the case will be handled by Pei Wenxuan."
Shangguanya nodded, her expression softened a lot. She was about to speak when someone knocked on the door, and Li Rong called out, "Come in." Then she saw Pei Wenxuan walking in with ointment and bandages in her hands.
He smiled and saluted Shangguan Ya, Li Rong was a little strange: "What are you doing here?"
"It's nothing." Pei Wenxuan walked to her side with a smile, and said peacefully, "I'm here to give His Highness medicine, you continue to say, don't worry about me."
With that said, Pei Wenxuan lifted Li Rong's chin, raised his hand and smeared the ointment on her head, then before the two could react, he wrapped layer after layer of gauze, and finally slapped her. The bowknot that smashed her forehead was not a zigzag, but an inkstone. She was not torn, but a blood hole was smashed.
After finishing, he didn't say much, took the medicine jar and the rest, took it and left, before leaving, he didn't forget to close the door for Li Rong, and after going out, Shangguanya murmured: "He is this What's the matter, yin and yang weird?"
"Probably I haven't lost any money yet."
Li Rong came back to her senses, holding the bow on her head, and continued: "Don't worry about him, continue to talk about what happened just now. Now that the case is under the management of Pei Wen, you can relax, but I think Chen Wang's case I'm afraid it won't end so easily."
"Then what is your Highness going to do?"
Shangguanya immediately echoed, Li Rong thought about it, and said solemnly: "Let Lin Feibai out tonight."
"Tonight?" Shangguanya said in surprise, she thought for a while, and finally said, "His Royal Highness, it's too risky for you to let Lin Feibai go out to assassinate Xie Lanqing."
"It's okay." Li Rong said calmly, "You secretly let him out, make it clear to him, and remember to make an appointment with me."
"Your Highness..."
"Just do it, don't worry." Li Rong raised her eyes, "I'm sure."
Shangguan Ya saw Li Rong's expression, she hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said: "Yes."
"There's one more thing," Shangguan Ya said after seeing Chen Wangshi's story, and couldn't help but mention another thing, "Last night, Concubine Chen went to Mingle Palace."
When Li Rong heard this, she paused, and then responded, "I see."
"His Royal Highness," Shangguan Ya was a little uneasy, "Should we slow down, we are pressing too hard, many people in the noble family are afraid that they will defect to King Su."
Hearing this, Li Rong laughed.
"Aya, do you know why the royal father loves Concubine Rou?"
Shangguan Ya didn't say anything, Li Rong fiddled with the tea bowl: "He gave her unconditional honor and love, and everyone said that he favored Concubine Rou, and Concubine Rou was a bewitching concubine and ruined the country. You said that he wanted him to really care about Concubine Rou so much, How could she have such a reputation?"
"Your Highness means that what Your Majesty loves is not Concubine Rou, but something that Concubine Rou represents?"
"Concubine Rou's favor is a means to check and balance the queen mother."
Li Rong's voice was flat: "As long as she is a bargaining chip, no matter what mistakes she makes, or how guilty King Su is, it is impossible for King Father to really give up on them. If he gives up on them, there can only be one reason."
Saying that, Li Rong raised her eyes, looked at Shangguanya, and smiled meaningfully: "They are no longer a bargaining chip."
Shangguanya didn't speak, she looked at Li Rong, and after a long time, she raised her hand with a stern face, pointed to the bow on Li Rong's head and said, "Your Highness, take your head seriously, and then tell me these words, Otherwise, I am afraid that I will laugh and show little respect for you."
Li Rong's expression changed, and then she gave a low drink: "Get out of here and do errands."
Shangguanya laughed out loud, she stood up and raised her hand to salute: "Your Highness, then I'll go back and let the rat out of the cage first, you have a good rest."
Li Rong nodded, Shangguanya walked out, took two steps, she suddenly remembered something, leaned back halfway, looked at Li Rong, smiled and said with a smile: "Speaking of your head was smashed, don't be angry Do you? Do you want me to vent for you?"
"You don't need to do something like this."
Li Rong waved her hand: "Hurry up and go."
Shangguanya smiled: "Then I'm leaving."
After she finished speaking, Shangguanya retracted her body and disappeared at the door. Li Rong thought for a while, touched her forehead, and looked up at Jinglan: "By the way, is my head really that ugly?"
"How about I show you a mirror?"
Jinglan hesitated to speak, Li Rong hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal."
After speaking, Li Rong stood up and instructed Jing Lan, "Go to the accountant and ask the concubine how much he paid for the peony, return the money to him, and I'll sleep for a while."
"His Royal Highness," Jing Lan glanced at Li Rong and whispered, "If you don't think about it, don't think about it."
Li Rong paused, then raised her eyes and said, "What's wrong?"
"I asked about the cost. As for the expenses of the princess' residence for half a year, now the accountant can't come up with so much money for a while."
Hearing this, Li Rong almost lost his temper.
Since her rebirth, she has been diligent and thrifty in the matter of money, just to deduct more money and develop her own strength.
Raising secret guards, raising intelligence organizations, raising official contacts, and now having to raise a supervisory department, which is not money? Pei Wenxuan's action was the expenses of the princess' residence for half a year. As soon as she heard this, she lost all romantic feelings, and was so angry that she immediately wanted to scold people.
But as soon as she stepped forward, she quickly calmed down. She and Pei Wenxuan had already had a conflict on this matter. The matter was over, and it would be useless for her to talk more.
Pei Wenxuan is not a person who doesn't know the importance. He is willing to abandon such thoughts because of his intentions. She has lost other people's flowers. Now, if he wants to say that he is extravagant and wasteful, I am afraid that there will be another contradiction.
Li Rong slowed down and realized that Pei Wenxuan had a clear account of her accounts, and that Pei Wenxuan knew how much she had spent.
Now that she can't afford the money, and Pei Wenxuan is angry again, it's normal that she doesn't want to see her now.
Her anger turned into a guilty conscience, but it only took a moment, but she remembered Pei Wenxuan's detached attitude in the past few days, especially today, she was dissatisfied and came up again.
Jinglan looked at the unpredictable expression, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, there is no need to divide the husband and wife so clearly. If you really gave the money to the concubine, he might even be angry. I think you might as well be right. The concubine is better, the concubine has a good temper, if you say a few good words and obey, the concubine might be happy?"
"Be soft, how can I be soft?"
Li Rong said coldly, "I'm not soft enough?"
"His Royal Highness," Jinglan was rather helpless, "the concubine is still asleep in the study, do you call this soft?"
"Then what? Do you want me to carry the sedan chair back for him?"
Li Rong got angry, walked to the couch next to her, and fell on the couch. Jinglan quickly covered her with a blanket and said softly, "Just talk to the concubine."
"What's there to say," Li Rong closed her eyes, "I can't afford to pay him the money, and he's not comfortable, why should I find this soft nail to suffer? I've been wronged today, he doesn't comfort me, sees me Even if I didn't see it when I was injured, he gave me such an ugly head, which shows his current thoughts, so I won't go to him to get angry."
After Li Rong said this, Jinglan was speechless, and she didn't know what to do, but she could hear a bit of grievance from Li Rong's words. But she also thought that Li Rong was not such a squeamish person, so she wouldn't say anything about such a thing.
She couldn't persuade her, sighed, and could only say, "Your Highness, rest first."
Li Rong responded and closed her eyes to rest.
When Jinglan walked out, Li Rong was very annoyed, got up and smashed Pei Wenxuan's favorite book from the side, and then fell back to sleep.
After tossing for most of the day, nothing went well, it was annoying.
She slept dimly, and slept until nightfall when she got up and heard that Pei Wenxuan was still at the official office and did not come back.
She ate by herself and went back to the study to deal with the affairs of the inspector. After a while, Jinglan rolled into the door with a pile of small papers, and put it respectfully in front of Li Rong: "Your Highness, this is delivered today. information everywhere.”
Every day, the informants that Li Rong raised would sort out and send back the valuable affairs in Beijing and China. Li Rong responded and began to read the notes.
Yesterday, Li Ming went to Concubine Rou and fined Hua Le. She already knew it in the morning. It didn't hurt or itchy. The hairpin was trained, the princess deceived the monarch, and the monarch was angry and tied it up."
Li Rong looked at the note and couldn't help being a little stunned. Hua Le, as the daughter of Concubine Rou, had a temperament that dictated the situation and was used to being favored. It was just a hairpin, so how could she be beaten by Li Ming
Li Rong pondered, raised her hand and read all the news, but couldn't find the reason why Hua Le was beaten. She thought about it, and read Li Ming's itinerary again, and then she saw that Li Ming had summoned before dinner. Pei Wenxuan.
Li Ming met Pei Wenxuan, then Hua Le, and then he taught Hua Le a lesson. Li Rong thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but wonder, did Pei Wenxuan do something
Pei Wenxuan has always cared about the harem, so why is he meddling in Huale's affairs today
When this question came up, Li Rong immediately had a vague answer, which made her stunned for a moment, until Jinglan asked her, "What's wrong with Your Highness?"
Only then did she react and hurriedly said, "It's okay."
She said and rearranged the things in her hand. She actually wanted to ask Pei Wenxuan what was going on, but she felt embarrassed to ask such a trivial matter, so she simply pretended not to know and continued to do business. .
She sat all the way until Pei Wenxuan came back. As soon as Pei Wenxuan entered the mansion, Jingmei ran back and said happily, "His Royal Highness, the concubine is back."
Li Rong's expression remained unmoved, and she continued to look at Zhezi, only to say, "I'll be back when I come back, what are you doing?"
"Your Highness," Jingmei knelt down in front of Li Rong, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
"He doesn't come to see me, and he wants me to see him?"
Li Rong sneered: "What a powerful official."
Jingmei and Jinglan looked at each other, and Li Rong lowered her head and said, "Come on down, I'll fall asleep in a while."
Pei Wenxuan came back late and didn't come to see Li Rong. After Li Rong finished washing herself, she turned off the lights and fell asleep.
After the lights went out, Li Rong lay on the bed for a while, and couldn't help turning over again.
When Pei Wenxuan was not here, the bed was much bigger, but for such a big bed, for some unknown reason, she felt that she couldn't sleep.
When a person becomes a habit, it seems to take everything for granted. For example, it is natural to greet her when she is injured, it is natural to let her be, and it is natural to laugh with her. No matter what happens, it is natural to lie beside her at night.
And when things that are taken for granted are silently taken away, even if she knows rationally that this is also Pei Wenxuan's power, she will feel a bit unreasonable and uncomfortable.
She didn't like the feeling that her emotions were being manipulated by others, and she had to accept it.
Whether it was the intentions expressed in the corridor, or the unprovoked dazedness and secret joy when he saw the traces of Pei Wenxuan's punishment in Huale, it all showed that this relationship was out of control.
Li Rong tried her best to close her eyes, but she felt a mess in her head again. After a long time, she didn't know why, and she thought about Hua Le's being tied up again and again. She couldn't help it, she lifted the quilt and turned over.
She had to go to Pei Wenxuan to ask.
She thought to herself, ask the matter clearly, if Pei Wenxuan's attitude is good, she will take advantage of the situation and bring Pei Wenxuan back to the room. If Pei Wenxuan has a bad attitude, let him die alone in the study.
After all, she also promised him that she would try to change her temperament.
Pei Wenxuan said that he waited, she couldn't always be the same as before, stubborn in everything, and had to wait for Pei Wenxuan to bow her head.
Li Rong thought to herself, when this thought came to her, she couldn't hold back a little. She seemed to have found some reason to rationalize all her actions. This reason seemed to have magic power, which lured her to stand up and quietly went to the window.
Even if she took the initiative to find Pei Wenxuan, she didn't want other people to see it, so she pushed open the window and stuck her head out, looked around, and saw that there was no one outside the window, so she only wore a single coat and went from there. Jumped out the window and trotted all the way to Pei Wenxuan's study.
When she was outside the study, she looked around and saw that only two people were guarding the door of Pei Wenxuan's study, and she was still dozing. She went around the back of the house and came to the window.
It was night now, and the charcoal pot was burning in the room. Pei Wenxuan opened the window to ventilate. Li Rong gently opened the window and turned the window to go in.
After entering the room, it was pitch dark. Li Rong searched for her memory and walked carefully to the edge of the couch. She took down a few books with her sleeves after walking two steps. She hurriedly caught it. .
She held the book and froze for a moment in the room. Seeing that there was no movement, she took a breath and continued to move forward.
At this time, she also got used to the light in the room, and she could see Pei Wenxuan's direction clearly. She came to Pei Wenxuan's bed like a cat. The whole person was dragged into the bed by him.
The warmth came, Pei Wenxuan covered her mouth with one hand, hugged her waist with the other, wrapped her legs around her, and hugged her whole body in his arms.
Li Rong's heart was beating fast, and she heard Pei Wenxuan whispering in her ear, "Princess Ye explores Wei Chen's bed, what are you asking for?"
As he spoke, Pei Wenxuan leaned a little closer, his lips almost touched her auricle, and there was a bit of a smile in his voice, his thin lips opened and closed as he spoke, and if there was something scratching on her auricle, it was always clear There was a bit of hoarseness in his voice, like a gorgeous voice line rubbed by gems across the cloud brocade: "Miss me?"
