The Grand Princess

Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and looked over with a smile: "What is your urgency, Lord Pei?"

Shangguan Ya saw Li Rong's unhurried or slow look, and still couldn't help himself. Even if he guessed that Li Rong might have been prepared, he couldn't help but dissuade him from saying: "Your Majesty, I have to prepare early. The Xie family is now captured alive. After Lin Feibai, he is afraid that he will confess his Highness."

"You asked him to assassinate Xie Lanqing?"

Pei Wenxuan turned his head in shock. Li Rong didn't respond to Pei Wenxuan, turning a fan in her hand, and instructed Shangguan Ya: "Go and prepare all the evidence that they had previously assassinated me. Is Lin Feibai's confession still?"

"Still." Shangguanya frowned, "but the evidence that can point to Xie Lanqing now is only Lin Feibai's confession. All the killers in the assassination of Butterfly Gorge were bought by the Chen family. From the flow of money to the match, the people were Chen family. If Lin Feibai withdraws his confession, he is afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Rong smiled, "If there is any evidence to prepare what evidence, you can just press the Chen family to death, you don't need to worry about the others."

Shangguan Ya got this, hesitated for a long time, and finally responded and stepped back.

As soon as Shangguanya left, Pei Wenxuan said directly: "What are you planning?"

"Huh?" Li Rong turned to look at Pei Wenxuan, and she saw Pei Wenxuan frowning, "Why would you let Lin Feibai go to assassinate Xie Lanqing? Xie Lanqing is the official book of the Criminal Ministry, is there such a good assassination? Now Lin Feibai was killed. Captured alive, he recruited you, there are a lot of things about you, I am afraid that your majesty will not be able to keep you if he wants to protect it!

After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, he felt that he was too serious. Li Rong shouldn't be such a stupid person.

He thought about it, analyzed it, and said: "The old nest of the Seven Star Hall was built in the place where the Xie family lived, and it is inextricably linked to the Xie family. You want to kill Xie Lanqing because this is the person he sent?"

Li Rong did not speak. She looked for all the files to be handed over to Pei Wenxuan in the room. Pei Wenxuan followed behind her and continued: "Qixingtang is famous for its strict mouths. Even if they die, they cannot recruit their employers. Come out, why did you let Lin Feibai recruit Xie Lanqing and leave a confession?"

Without waiting for Li Rong to reply, Pei Wenxuan immediately said, "You need to know where their stronghold is to threaten him? But no, Lin Feibai should know the power of the distinguished family in the local area. Even if you send troops immediately, they will be helped by the Xie family. Lin Feibai was not a fool, he could not be threatened like this, but he still recruited Xie Lanqing..."

"He treats me as a fool," Li Rong smiled and turned around, and handed a case file to Pei Wenxuan's hands. "Together with Xie Lanqing, I'm counting on me."

"There are many possibilities for the assassination," Li Rong said, continuing to draw the file from the wall and put it in Pei Wenxuan's hand. Pei Wenxuan held the file, followed Li Rong, and listened to her, "Take the old fox like Xie Lanqing. Thinking, it’s impossible not to make a backup plan after failure. Lin Feibai is so easy to recruit, that is, he has been prepared, according to Xie Lanqing’s idea, Lin Feibai recruited, I will probably hold him accountable, but I can’t find it. To any evidence other than Lin Feibai’s confession, then I sue him in court, Lin Feibai temporarily retracted the confession, saying that I was severely tortured by me, plus Chen Guang’s torture to extract a confession, false accusation and torture, the two big hats My head is locked."

"Since you know, what do you mean by letting him out to assassinate Xie Lanqing? Do you give me food?"

"So, then I have two choices. If I believe him, I will have their full set. If I don't adopt Lin Feibai, I won't be able to catch the old wolf Xie Lanqing. So if they want to give me a set, I will just count, not only Jump down and jump deeper. I asked Lin Feibai to assassinate Xie Lanqing. Xie Lanqing must sue me in the court tomorrow. He exposes himself from the dark so that I can kill him."

Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong's calculations clearly, and felt a little more at ease. He held the file and said respectfully: "Where are the fangs of your Highness?"

Li Rong turned around and waved at him. Pei Wenxuan held the file, bowed his head and listened to Li Rong's postscript.

Pei Wenxuan raised his head in shock, only said: "Really?"

Li Rong lowered his voice: "It is true that this case was investigated by Su Rongqing back then. It was not a good thing after all, so he only reported it to me, but it was confirmed by three parties."

"Does Lin Feibai know?"

Pei Wenxuan frowned, Li Rong shook his head: "He didn't know until he died."

"Where is Xie Lanqing?"

"At least I don't know now."

Pei Wenxuan stopped talking. He thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "If it is true as His Highness said, then Xie Lanqing is indeed stealing chickens and losing rice this time."

"So don't worry about it," Li Rong raised her hand and patted Pei Wenxuan's shoulder. "Think about the fact that there is no Shangshu in the Criminal Department. Who is better to change?"

With that said, Li Rong leaned over to Pei Wenxuan and whispered: "I can't afford to pay you for the peony flower, can I pay you for a book from the Criminal Ministry?"

"Then this peony is too valuable." Pei Wenxuan laughed, and he walked to the table with the file in his hand, thinking, "I can get my qualifications, your Royal Highness wants to push me up is not easy?"

"Choose someone in your house." Li Rong followed him to the edge of the table, leaning on the edge of the table, tapping her shoulders with a small fan, and said gently, "The money has taken back from your second uncle. Quan, he should also Give it back?"

Pei Wenxuan paused. After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Rong's suggestive eyes. He smiled lightly: "It seems that Your Highness can't take a look at the thing in his hand."

"Oh, I didn't say that." Li Rong raised his finger to Pei Wenxuan, and said quickly, "Don't pour sewage on me."

"I'm not splashing sewage on your Highness, I'm showing loyalty." Pei Wenxuan said, holding his hands on the table and leaning in front of Li Rong. "Relax, Your Highness, I belong to Your Highness, Pei's family, and His Highness."

"Prince Pei does not make a loss-making business," Li Rong said, sitting on the table, folded her hands in front of her, and said with a smile, "Prince Pei pays a lot of gifts, what do you want from this palace?"

"His Royal Highness, take a guess?"

"Prosperity and wealth?" Li Rong raised her eyebrows, deliberately guessing in the wrong place. Pei Wenxuan knew that she had done something bad, and continued: "What else?"

"Senior officials are generous?"

"Isn't it the same as just now? It seems that your Highness has nothing else to give to the ministers."

Li Rong sat on the table, a little higher than the standing Pei Wenxuan. She looked at Pei Wenxuan with a smile, and felt that the eyes of the person in front of her seemed to have substance. His eyes and Li Rong were intertwined. The smiles on people's faces were the same as usual, but there was a silent confrontation spreading.

This kind of confrontation is like intertwined vines, fighting each other while spreading and intertwining, wrapping each other tightly and strangling each other.

No one was willing to give in, but it was this fierce sense of non-concession that made Li Rong feel unspeakable.

Her heart beat faster, and her palms were also sweaty. Pei Wenxuan, at this time, is especially full of some unspeakable desire.

It was a temptation, but between the temptations, there was a bit of teasing, as if waiting for Li Rong to bow her head.

If she accepts this man's seduction, she will lose.

The most passionate relationship between a man and a woman is not directly on the bed and overturning the quilt, but at the moment when we want to talk and we want to welcome and refuse, and we cannot move forward when the two are attracted.

She can't lose, so she can't touch this person.

But she clearly knew that this delicate flower was blooming right out of the wall, waving in the wind, swaying, and feeling like climbing flowers.

The only thing she can do is just like this person, let this person fall under her pomegranate skirt and take the initiative to find her.

Li Rong also lowered her body and moved forward, approaching Pei Wenxuan, softening her voice, a bit more coquettish in her usual cold voice: "Then what do you want, Lord Pei?"

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he felt that the whole person was half of his bones. He took a breath and straightened up: "Stop talking to your highness, I will go to my cousin, and you will send the file back to the princess mansion. I'll watch it at night."

With that, Pei Wenxuan hurriedly stepped out. Although he walked smoothly, looking at his back, he felt a little bit of fleeing away.

Sitting on the table, Li Rong took a cup of tea from the table and smiled while watching Pei Wenxuan walk away from the back.

Shangguanya led the people to walk from outside with the dossier. When she came in, she saw Li Rong sitting on the table with tea, with a very happy expression on her face, like a big cat full of wine and food, lazily licking her paw.

Shangguan Ya was stunned, and subconsciously said, "You guys are playing well?"

Li Rong paused for a while, then she raised her eyebrows coldly and looked over: "What are you looking at?"

"Since your Royal Highness knows, he seems to be a fellow man."

Shangguan Ya seriously bowed her hands: "Fortunately, we are lucky to meet."

"I haven't been out of the pavilion for a whole day of nonsense," Li Rong grabbed a book in his hand and smashed it. Shangguanya smiled and hid beside him, listening to Li Rong's call, "Look who marries you."

"Your Majesty, I'm worried," Shangguanya smiled and approached Li Rong, and asked Li Rong to put all the confessions that were reviewed before on the table, and leaned against Li Rong on the edge of the table and said: "I told my father I’m going to be an old aunt in Shangguan’s home."

"Old aunt?" Li Rong laughed, "Your father is willing too?"

"It's a joke of course," Shangguanya became serious. "My father naturally can't tolerate me in the Shangguan's house, but if I really become the principal of Shangguan's house," Shangguanya looked up at Li Rong, "I can't help it. Him."

"But he still needs me in the last two years," Shangguanya said slowly, leaning on the table, "I can hold it back for a few years."

"Are you so afraid of getting married?"

Li Rong was a little curious. She remembered that Shangguanya from the previous life was actually a very upright family girl, who followed the rules, indifference, restraint, self-discipline, and others.

Even when the Shangguan family was cut down by Li Chuan, she couldn't find the slightest mistake, and even when Li Chuan was so disgusted with the family, she maintained her position as queen.

She looked at Shangguanya, and Shangguanya thought for a while, only said: "If your Royal Highness has a choice, will you choose to get married before you don't know her husband?"

Li Rong was asked by Shangguanya for a while, and Shangguanya slowly said: "What is good about getting married? I am not married, I am the eldest lady of Shangguan family, and no one can bully me. It is my father’s jewel, I want to read and read. If you want to do things, you can still ask for a part-time job here with your highness, holding a small amount of money in your hand, and the casino has a pastime."

"What about after getting married?"

Shangguanya looked calm: "When you marry an ordinary family, you have an aunt and a husband by your side. It is always the rule. If you do something wrong, you lose the face of Shangguan. If your husband is better, you may still be respectful. If your husband likes to ask for flowers and ask Liu, What else can I do?"

"Even if I can do everything," Shangguanya sighed and smiled bitterly. "If you marry someone, you won't be a human being. Don't talk about other things. If my husband says that I won't let me go back to her natal house, I will take care of Shangguanya. No. If you don't let me come here to do business, I can't keep doing so many things."

"Aren't you such an obedient person?"

Li Rong raised his eyebrows and Shangguan Ya smiled slightly: "Of course, I want to really meet such a husband. I will find a wild man outside to conceive a child and poison him, and then use this child as the mistress of the house. ?"

Li Rong felt cold, and she cautiously said, "Should you marry into the palace?"

"Marry into the palace," Shangguanya looked calm, "Then I am not married to a man, but a throne. I am not only Shangguanya, but the honor and disgrace of Shangguan clan."

Li Rong still wanted to ask questions, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly felt lost. Questions about the previous life, no matter how thorough, what do you do?

It hurts feelings.

Li Rong was silent, Shangguan Ya laughed: "His Royal Highness, why are you asking this suddenly?"

"I just want to know more about you." Li Rong got down from the table and put her hand on Shangguanya's shoulder. "My dear sisters, let's talk more."

As he said, Li Rong led Shangguanya to sit down, and turned his chin through the file and said, "Tell me the details."

When Li Rong and Shangguanya discussed how to deal with Xie Lanqing in the court of tomorrow, Pei Wenxuan rode a carriage, all the way to Pei's house.

He first went to see the Wen family, and then went to visit Pei Xuanqing. Pei Xuanqing was in poor health and resigned early to support his life at home. On weekdays, his children and grandchildren were busy with affairs, so few people came to see him.

When Pei Wenxuan saw Pei Xuanqing, Pei Xuanqing was making tea and playing chess by himself. Pei Wenxuan came forward and said respectfully: "Grandfather."

"I heard that you are a big red now, so you must be very busy," Pei Xuanqing said peacefully, "Why come to see my old man today, but if you have something to help?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I got free today," Pei Wenxuan knelt down and sat across from Pei Xuanqing, smiling, "I came to see my family."

Pei Xuanqing heard this and looked up at Pei Wenxuan.

Pei Wenxuan and his father look very similar. Pei Xuanqing's eyes stayed on Pei Wenxuan's face for a moment, and he smiled low: "You are like your father and have a similar personality."

As he said, Pei Xuanqing raised his finger to the chess piece next to him and said: "I'm bored playing chess alone. Come with me."

Pei Wenxuan respectfully responded and played chess with Pei Xuanqing for a while. During the process, he never mentioned anything serious, but Pei Xuanqing asked a few questions about the marriage between Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong.

Such a cozy atmosphere made Pei Xuanqing relax. He smiled and said: "You are also twenty one, it is time to have a child. Don't always be busy with official business, leave the princess in the cold, and come back earlier with a baby. I have a great grandson. And happy too."

"This is not something you can get in a hurry." Pei Wenxuan smiled and responded, "His Royal Highness is busy now, and it's not time for the child."

Hearing Pei Wenxuan’s tone, Pei Xuanqing didn’t really want to pick up the child. He didn’t continue to say more. The two played a game of chess steadily. Pei Wenxuan looked at the sky and said peacefully: “It’s too early, grandfather. , Grandson retire first."

Pei Xuanqing nodded, Pei Wenxuan stood up, bowed to Pei Xuanqing, and planned to retreat. Seeing Pei Wenxuan walking outside, Pei Xuanqing frowned: "Are you really fine?"

"Grandfather," Pei Wenxuan sighed, "I'm here, but it's because I'm Pei's family, and I'm a family after all."

With that said, Pei Wenxuan saluted, Pei Xuan looked at Pei Wenxuan quietly, and Pei Wenxuan stepped back.

The waiter next to him came up, poured tea for Pei Xuanqing, and respectfully said: "The old man brought your favorite tea. Among so many young men, he knows this. The old man is still filial to the master."

Pei Xuanqing was silent, he glanced at the tea soup, after a long time, he softly responded with a "um".

Pei Wenxuan went to Pei Xuanqing for a while, after thinking about it, he turned back to the Supervisory Department.

When Pei Wenxuan arrived at the Supervisory Department, Li Rong was still busy. She and Shangguanya confirmed the killer's confession and the current accounts of the money exchanged from Chen Jiayin, and then began to confirm the self-examination of Shangguanjia hosted by Shangguanya.

The idea in Li Rong's heart was to clean up Shangguan's house before Li Ming started, so as not to avoid Li Chuan being implicated in the mess of Shangguan's house like his previous life.

Li Chuan is a safe prince. As far as the prince is concerned, he can hardly find any mistakes. It is a big deal to abolish the prince. As long as Li Chuan makes no mistakes, it will be difficult for Li Ming to move him.

To clean up Shangguan's house is to solve Li Chuan's worries in advance.

When Pei Wenxuan arrived at the Supervisory Department, he didn't say much when he heard that Li Rong was still busy. He asked someone to bring tea, sat in the front hall, took a free book, and looked through it.

After watching it for a while, I saw a guard walking in anxiously outside. Pei Wenxuan looked up and listened to the guard anxiously: "Your Highness, it's not good, Your Highness."

Hearing this in the inner room, Li Rong glanced at Shangguanya, then straightened up and walked out. Seeing Li Rong coming out, the guard knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Highness, Xie Lanqing has entered the palace and told you Yu Zhuang, Your Majesty is now anxious to announce His Royal Highness into the palace.

"Did you come to die in such a hurry?"

Li Rong laughed out loud, but the guards dared not answer, Pei Wenxuan stood up, walked behind Li Rong, and whispered: "I will follow your Highness into the palace."

"His Royal Highness," Shangguanya frowned, "Xie Lanqing is afraid that those who come will be bad."

"Don't worry," Li Rong smiled, "My palace will send him on the road."

With that said, Li Rong turned around, flicked her wide sleeves, put her back behind her, leading the people forward, and said happily: "Go."

Li Rong led the people out of the Supervisory Department and rushed directly to the palace. When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Li Rong saw Xie Lanqing holding his stomach and lying weakly on a chair.

Li Rong entered the room with a smile, and respectfully said: "My son has met my father."

Pei Wenxuan also followed Li Rong and kowtowed: "Weichen has seen your Majesty."

There were many people standing in the room, Su Minzhi, Shangguanxu, Su Rongqing and others were all there. Xie Lanqing's chair was set aside, and Lin Feibai was kneeling at his feet, covered in wounds.

Li Ming looked at Li Rong and seemed a little tired. After raising his hand to make Li Rong stand up, Li Ming said directly: "Pingle, Master Xie said you ordered this assassin to kill him. You can plead guilty."

When Li Rong heard this, she looked at Lin Feibai with a smile but a smile: "Should I instruct this son to kill Lord Xie?"

With that, Li Rong walked to the edge of Lin Feibai, squatted down with one knee clasped, and put her hands on the knee of one standing leg, and smiled: "I want to ask this young man, how do I know you? , How can I instruct you?"

"Cao Min is a quack killer. Half a month ago, His Highness asked him to find Cao Min and asked Cao Min to kill someone. At that time, His Highness covered his face with a veil. Although Cao Min could not see His Highness, he remembered his voice."

"Then your ears are pretty good." Li Rong nodded, "What then?"

"His Royal Highness asks so much what to do?" Xie Lanqing interrupted Li Rong directly, "Is it because Your Highness has a guilty conscience. I want to confirm if there is anything in the witness's words that can make you quibble?"

"Xie Shangshu pay attention to the use of words," Pei Wenxuan swept away coldly and said indifferently, "Now that things have not been clarified, you just say that your Highness is a sophistry. Why, Master Xie regards this as the Criminal Department, and he has already settled the case?"

"Master Pei is really clever tongue," Xie Lanqing sneered, "I know what I mean here, Master Pei doesn't have to chew words like this."

"What then?" Li Rong stared at Lin Feibai. Lin Feibai did not speak. Li Ming said coldly, "Master Lin, speak."

"Then Caomin came to Butterfly Gorge to assassinate the person on the painting according to the employer's request. Then he was ambushed, arrested and imprisoned, and went to the Supervisory Department. After arriving at the Supervisory Department, Caomin met the princess, and the princess spoke out. Know, this is the employer who asked me to assassinate the princess before. The princess knew that I was talented, so she asked me to kill Lord Xie directly, otherwise she would kill the grassroots for assassinating the princess!"

Although Lin Feibai's tone was cold, but with a somewhat angry appearance in the calmness, it was a little more trusting.

Li Rong smiled and listened to Lin Feibai's words, then said, "Then you assassinated Xie Shangshu?"

Lin Feibai ignored her and knelt on the ground with his back straight.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Li Rong stood up. Seeing that she was confident, Li Ming said, "Is what he said is true?"

"Father," Li Rong smiled and turned around and said directly, "His story is full of loopholes. It seems that a few poor people are discussing whether the emperor should pick up things with a golden pole or a silver pole. This is how the emperor uses a pole to pick up soil. Son, could it be true?"

When these words came out, Xie Lanqing's complexion immediately became unpleasant and looked like: "Have you said it clearly? It doesn't have to be said that these are not.

"Okay, Xie Shangshu went through an assassination, and his brain is not very easy to use. My palace can understand it. The palace will give you a stroke. The loopholes in his words. First, he said I was his employer. Excuse me, do I have no one under him or do I admire his reputation and must meet him, so the dignified princess does not ask reliable people to hire assassins, but to go by herself?"

"His Royal Highness said that." Pei Wenxuan added, "Weichen also doesn't want His Highness to meet with foreign men in private."

Li Rong glared at Pei Wenxuan secretly.

"What if the palace is cautious and unwilling to let others know about this scandal?"

Xie Lanqing replies coldly. Li Rong smiled softly and circled around Lin Feibai: "Okay, I will let Master Xie once, as if I acted cautiously and incompetently, I can only find the killer by myself. Then, according to this son Said, I hired a killer to kill myself, and my palace made up and acted in the scene of myself being assassinated. Then since I knew I was going to see him goodbye, I went to see him under the veil, and my voice remained unchanged?"

"Caomin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is extremely sensitive to sounds." Lin Feibai said coldly, and Pei Wenxuan whispered, "Good-looking dog ears."

"All right," Li Rong lowered his head and laughed, "Even if it is Lin Daxia's martial arts, I have miscalculated. But since I planned someone to murder me, why should I force you to kill Xie Shangshu instead of just letting you Perjury to accuse Xie Shangshu and let you murder me?"

These words made Lin Fei pause, but he couldn't see any expression on his face, so he didn't know how his emotions were.

Li Rong saw that he was silent, Xie Lan said calmly: "This is about to ask your Royal Highness. Maybe your Royal Highness thinks that mentioning your assassination after Chen Wang's death will not get the effect that His Highness wants, so she just let him Did he assassinate me?"

"Then there is a very critical issue here."

Li Rong banged her fan on the palm of her hand. She bent down and looked at Xie Lanqing who was sitting on the chair: "Shall I let my son kill his father?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, Xie Lanqing's complexion changed drastically, and Lin Feibai suddenly looked up.

Li Rong smiled and straightened up, tapping the fan on her palm: "Let's think about this story from another angle."

"Everyone thinks that it is a princess who is there, and when there is a problem with his brain time and time again, it is more likely that the son will eventually assassinate his own father, or is it more likely that the father and son will confess and falsely accuse the princess?"

"Master Lin," Li Rong looked at Lin Feibai with a shocked face, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
