Li Rong couldn't stop laughing after hearing Pei Wenxuan say it was a pity, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, raised her hand and said, "It's not like you said this, I still have something to do."
"What else are you going to do, Your Highness?"
"Of course, to see Lin Feibai."
Li Rong said, and turned to look at Pei Wenxuan: "Now that Xie Lanqing is gone, your cousin is in the punishment department, can you talk?"
Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and saluted, "Listen to His Highness's instructions."
The two went out of the palace together. Pei Wenxuan asked someone to find Pei Liming first. When they arrived at the punishment department, Pei Liming was already standing at the door. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan got off the carriage together. Pei Wenxuan came forward happily and respectfully said. :"uncle."
Pei Liming first saluted Li Rong: "Your Highness."
Then he turned his head and nodded towards Pei Wenxuan: "Is it very fast?"
"Your Highness is in a hurry." Pei Wenxuan lowered his voice, "Is anyone here now?"
"I'm already waiting at the punishment department, and Miss Shangguan is here too."
"Shangguanya is here too?"
Pei Wenxuan was quite surprised, and Pei Liming nodded: "I put it in."
With that said, Pei Liming raised his hand to look at Li Rong, and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, please."
Li Rong nodded: "Pei Shilang is polite."
"It should be."
As Pei Liming said that, he led Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan to go inside. When they reached the door, they saw Shangguanya sitting at the entrance of the prison. She grabbed peanuts in her hand, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked leisurely. Lin Feibai inside.
Lin Feibai sat on the bed of the cell with her back to Shangguanya. As soon as Li Rong came in, Shangguanya stood up: "Your Highness."
Lin Feibai's ears moved when he heard this, and after Li Rong walked in, Pei Li said wisely, "Your Highness, I will lead the way here, you can stay here for half an hour, but the sooner you ask, the better to avoid Lots of people talking."
"Understood," Li Rong bowed towards Pei Liming, "Thank you, Shi Lang Pei."
"I'll send my uncle."
After Pei Wenxuan said that, he sent Pei Liming out. Li Rong, Shangguanya, and Lin Feibai were left in prison. Shangguanya quickly moved a stool for Li Rong: "Sit down, Your Highness."
"Why are you here?"
Li Rong was a little curious, and Shangguan Ya laughed: "I guessed that His Highness would come to judge Lin Feibai, so I came here ahead of time. I was already very curious, so I was waiting for His Highness to answer my doubts."
"What's the confusion?" Li Rong took the tea from Shangguanya and looked at Lin Feibai, "What's the confusion, can't Young Master Lin tell you everything?"
"I asked," Shangguanya sighed, "he's stubborn, he hasn't said a word yet."
Li Rong smiled, she put the tea aside, leaned on the stool, and said gently, "Young Master Lin, do you have anything to ask me?"
Lin Feibai turned his back to Li Rong. He didn't say anything. Li Rong waited patiently. After a long time, Lin Feibai finally said, "My mother never told me about him."
Lin Feibai's voice was a little hoarse: "she only said that my father died, that my father failed her and left her in Qin Qushan. I hated my father with her since I was a child, and I always thought that he was not a good man. , he abandoned my mother."
"What don't you understand?" Li Rong tapped the palm of her hand with a fan.
"She died two years ago."
"Master Qixing died two years ago?" Shangguanya was a little surprised, Lin Feibai ignored her and continued in a low voice, "Two years ago, at the last moment, she was still holding on to this necklace, she said she wanted to Seeing the owner of this necklace, she has already had someone notify that person, she wants to wait for him."
"She asked me to wait at the mountain gate. From the mountain gate, I can see the person on the mountain road. I can see that person coming over as soon as possible. That person will wear black clothes. If he comes, let me tell her."
"I just stood at the mountain gate and waited. It snowed heavily that day, and I waited for a long time."
"I waited until the snow fell all over my body, and until the morning light melted the ice and snow the next day, I didn't wait for anyone to come. When I went back, she had already slept."
"She held this necklace until she died."
Lin Feibai raised her hand and held the necklace: "I thought it was her most important thing, so I kept her. Before she died, she left me a lot of requests, one of which was that she owed Xie Lanqing three things, The last thing is that she can't finish it, let me help her."
"So Xie Lanqing went to Qin Qushan and asked Qixingtang for help. I knew that being involved in this kind of thing would bring disaster to Qixingtang, so I came anyway."
"But I don't understand."
Lin Feibai clenched his fists: "This man, he has bullied her, let her down, and never gave her a name in her life. She obviously hates him so much, why should I help him?!"
"It's a matter of mouth and heart."
Shangguanya spoke directly, Lin Feibai ignored Shangguanya, he turned his head and stared at Li Rong: "You know why, right?"
"I don't know." Li Rong replied calmly, "All I know is that she wants you to live well."
"And I came today, not to answer your question, but to give you a chance."
"what chance?"
"A chance to live." Li Rong straightened up and said slowly, "It's also a chance for revenge."
When Li Rong and Lin Feibai were talking, Pei Wenxuan sent Pei Liming to the door, and the surrounding guards were sent away by them, Pei Liming sighed and said, "You are too reckless, you should have said this earlier. ."
"I didn't know this would happen today," Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness didn't tell me, it was too hasty. Your Majesty asked someone temporarily, and I could only pull my uncle out to help."
It was said that Pei Liming helped, but both Pei Wenxuan and Pei Liming knew in their hearts that Xie Lanqing must now roll down from the position of the Minister of Punishment, and whoever took over Xie Lanqing's case in the Ministry of Punishment implied who would take over the position of the Minister.
Pei Liming has been in the position of the right servant for nearly ten years, and finally made it out, and the person who gave this chance to come forward was not Pei Lixian, the provincial minister who was held by the Pei family, but Pei Wenxuan. Pei Liming didn't say anything on the face, but he gradually began to care about it.
Although Pei Lixian's official position is not low, but for so many years, there is not much actual benefit to the family. And although Pei Wenxuan is young now, but his methods are very good, Li Rong is still standing behind him, plus he is generous, and now he has directly handed over the opportunity to be promoted to Shangshu, how can Pei Liming not be happy
He held his mind, waved his hand, and said, "They are all clansmen, why do you see outsiders like this?"
"Uncle is right," Pei Wenxuan was gentle and polite, "They are all clansmen, and they will need to be comfortable and take care of them in the future."
Pei Lixian laughed. Now that he has received the benefits of Pei Wenxuan, Pei Wenxuan not only did not mention a word, but also gave him steps everywhere, so as not to save his face, but within a few words, Pei Lixian already liked Pei Wenxuan very much and regretted it. At first, I didn't pay much attention to this nephew.
After the two exchanged their greetings, Pei Wenxuan returned to the prison and listened to Li Rong and Lin Fei saying: "You just need to tell the truth, don't hide it, Xie Lanqing will be punished as much as he should, that's enough. .Although you assassinated me, I will still report to the emperor like your father, saying that you have paid off your merits and let him withdraw your punishment."
Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's voice and stood behind Li Rong, Lin Feibai's expression remained unchanged, and he only said, "Your Highness will not use me again, will you?"
"You can rest assured," Li Rong laughed, "I used you before because you wanted to use me. Now that you don't use me, I naturally won't take the initiative to use you."
"I don't believe a word of you Huajing people." Lin Feibai said coldly, Shangguanya sneered: "Then who do you believe?"
"But I am willing to identify Xie Lanqing."
After receiving this response, Li Rong also felt relieved. This time, she really got Xie Shangshu's evidence and could kick him off from a height.
Li Rong stood up, nodded and said, "It's fine if you want, then I'll go first, I wish Young Master Lin an early release from prison."
Li Rong said, and went out. Pei Wenxuan followed behind her, and Shangguanya followed Li Rong out. When she was halfway, Shangguanya remembered something. She turned her head and took out a set of leaf cards from her sleeve. He was put in the prison, raised his chin, and said comfortably, "Don't be too sad, playing cards, the days will pass quickly. There are so many happy things in this world, you shouldn't ruin yourself for a few irrelevant popularity. height."
Lin Feibai ignored her, Shangguanya said with a "tsk", "I don't know good people."
After speaking, Shangguanya turned around and followed Li Rong: "Ah, Your Highness, wait for me, don't go so fast."
Shangguanya's voice went away, Lin Feibai hesitated for a moment, and then reached the edge of the prison. He went deep and held the few leaf cards.
The leaf cards were painted by Shangguanya herself. She inherited the painting skills of famous teachers. She painted a few leaf cards, not only with superb skills, but also made a lot of innovations.
For example, putting a wreath on the head of the warrior on the screen, or adding a birdcage to the hand of the literati, Lin Feibai watched quietly for a while, sneered in disdain, then put away the leaf card and put it in his arms.
Shangguanya ran out after Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan, and Li Rong turned to look at her: "What did you leave him?"
"A deck of leaf cards," Shangguanya waved his hand, "in case he gets bored."
"You are considerate." Li Rong laughed, Shangguanya was a little embarrassed, "He is also pitiful."
"Okay, where are you going now?"
"I'm going home, what about Your Highness?"
"I'll go back to the Princess' Mansion and give you a ride."
As Li Rong spoke, she led Pei Wenxuan and Shangguanya into the carriage.
After waiting for the carriage, Pei Wenxuan poured tea for the two girls, Shangguanya sat aside, thought about it, and finally said, "Your Highness, guess why Lin Feibai's mother is so contradictory? He taught Lin Feibai to hate Xie Lanqing. For a lifetime, and at the end let Lin Feibai help Xie Lanqing, what is this?"
Li Rong smiled and looked up at Shangguanya: "Have you ever died?"
"How could I have died?" Shangguanya said in surprise, "Your Highness, no one has ever died in this world."
Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan looked at each other and smiled, Li Rong said slowly: "I guess it's true that Lin Feibai's mother hated Xie Lanqing all her life, but it was also because of love that she hated. So before she died, she kept waiting for him. It doesn't matter if you come or not, wait until the last moment."
"When a person dies, it is not hate, but the last beauty in this life."
Li Rong laughed slowly: "Look, Lin Feibai's mother said that she owed Xie Lanqing three demands. In fact, I have heard this story. Back then, Xie Lanqing and Jianghu heroine Lin Xia met by chance, and the two fell in love at first sight. Xie Lanqing rescued Lin at that time. Xia, Lin Xia promised Xie Lanqing that he could meet his three requirements."
"Xie Lanqing's first request was to hope that Linxia would stay by his side."
Shangguanya was a little surprised: "Xie Shangshu was quite romantic back then."
"Xie Lanqing's second request is to hope that Lin Xia will leave his side. In fact, Lin Xia didn't have any clothes Xie Lanqing later. She and her junior sister established the Qixing Hall in Qinqu Mountain. Xie Lanqing knew it, but she never saw her in her life."
"Maybe I heard that she has a child." Shangguanya thought for a while, "Think she has a new life?"
"These three requirements are their beginning. I think that before Lin Xia died, Xie Lanqing's thoughts should also be good. She doesn't hate it anymore, she hopes that this relationship can end in the best way. And she doesn't hate it. After that, she will clearly realize that Lin Feibai is always Xie Lanqing's son, and she hopes that Lin Feibai and Xie Lanqing can have a good relationship"
"In this way, I can probably understand a thing or two." Shangguanya nodded, "Lin Feibai is really pitiful."
"The poor are pitiful." Pei Wenxuan said at the right time, "He's already pretty good."
Shangguanya nodded: "Indeed, the greatest sorrow in this world is poverty. Birth, old age, sickness and death are given by God, but poverty always makes you doubt yourself."
"It's like being stuck in a cobweb, but I always wonder if I'm not working hard enough, so I can't break free."
While several people were talking, the carriage arrived at Shangguan Mansion. Shangguanya saluted the two of them and said with a smile, "See you tomorrow."
With that said, Shangguanya jumped off the carriage. After there were only two people in the carriage, Pei Wenxuan turned his head and looked at Li Rong: "Actually, I'm curious, what did you see before you died?"
"how about you?"
Li Rong raised her eyebrows, Pei Wenxuan thought back for a moment, and said slowly, "It was Chinese New Year that year. I celebrated the New Year with you. When the fireworks were set off, the two of us stood on the promenade together. You called me by my name and made me turn back."
When Pei Wenxuan said that, he laughed: "As soon as I turned around, you stood on tiptoe, held my face and kissed me."
"Then you ask me if I can watch fireworks with you every year."
"I agreed." Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and brought a cup of bitter tea, "Unfortunately you broke the contract."
"Let's watch it again this year."
Li Rong spoke suddenly, Pei Wenxuan raised her head, a little surprised, Li Rong turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "I will watch the fireworks with you this year. Pei Wenxuan, you promise me one thing," Li Rong said Then, leaning forward, Pei Wenxuan looked down at her: "What?"
"In this life, the promises we make to each other will either remain silent or we will keep the promise to the end, okay?"
"Okay." Pei Wenxuan laughed and said dumbly, "No one should break the contract."
"Pull the hook?" Li Rong raised her little finger. Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong's appearance and thought she was childish, but this childishness made her cute because she was Li Rong.
He raised his hand and lifted Li Rong's little finger.
"One hundred years, don't change."
