After receiving Li Ming's reward, Li Rong happily left the palace. Not long after leaving the palace, she changed her clothes with Jing Mei and instructed her, "Go back and find my body double. Tomorrow, people from the Inspectorate will come to seal the residence. For the next few days, let my body double stay in the residence and cover it well."
Jing Lan and Jing Mei nodded. Jing Mei couldn't help but ask, "Then what will Your Highness do?"
"I will go live in the new residence."
Li Rong was thinking about Pei Wenxuan as she absent-mindedly turned the folding fan in her hand. Jing Mei didn't understand, "What will Your Highness do at the new residence? Do you miss the prince consort?"
Li Rong's hand paused. Jing Lan lightly coughed, "Your Highness, don't worry. Jing Mei and I will arrange things here."
With Jing Lan's interruption, Li Rong's awkwardness eased a bit. She responded with an "En." Seeing that the journey was suitable, she had the carriage stop. She disguised herself as a maid and got off the carriage. Then, she led a few imperial bodyguards to a hidden place.
After reaching a hidden place, the hidden guard who went to clear the path turned back and whispered, "Your Highness, no one is following us."
After confirming that it was safe, Li Rong turned back and hurried to the new residence.
While Li Rong was rushing to her new residence, Pei Wenxuan was still in the room looking at several alternative questions for this year's imperial examinations.
Now that everything for the imperial examinations had been arranged, all that was left was to wait for Consort Rou to settle the case of the substitute examinees and prepare for the examinations.
Pei Wenxuan was thinking about the exam questions when Dong Ye's voice came from outside. He whispered, "Gongzi, Her Highness sent someone over. She said that she has something important to discuss with you."
When Pei Wenxuan heard that Li Rong's people had come, he knew that she had finished her business in the palace. He lowered his head, circled the words on the questions, and wrote down some corrections. As he wrote, he slowly said, "Come in."
A moment later, a woman dressed in black walked in. She was wearing a cloak that covered her face. Pei Wenxuan didn't raise his head. He lowered his head and looked at the booklets. He calmly said, "How is Her Highness?"
"She has gone back."
A hoarse female voice sounded. Pei Wenxuan's hand that was holding the brush paused. He frowned and looked at the woman standing in the room.
The woman wore a veil and covered her face, body, and was completely covered. Pei Wenxuan quietly looked at her for a moment, then turned his head. He lightly said, "Oh, that's good. Does Her Highness have anything else to say?"
Li Rong stood in place. She saw that Pei Wenxuan was ignoring her, as if he didn't recognize her at all. She was a bit angry. She lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "Her Highness didn't say anything else. She said that the Princess Residence will be sealed off tomorrow. She hasn't seen Daren for a long time. She was afraid that Daren would be lonely, so she sent this servant to serve you."
"This servant has no manners." Pei Wenxuan frowned and looked at her. He coldly said, "Get out!"
Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan's appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
She reached into the cloak and began to take off her clothes one by one. Pei Wenxuan looked away and lowered his head to look at the document in his hand. He coldly said, "What are you doing?"
"Daren, this servant was sent to the residence by Her Highness. Daren doesn't need to be nervous." Li Rong said. She took off the last of her clothes and walked barefoot towards Pei Wenxuan.
The black cloak vaguely revealed a pair of white, round feet and slender ankles. They flickered under the clothes and when they fell to the ground, they were like blooming lotus flowers.
As she spoke, she passed by the candlesticks. With a sweep of her wide sleeve, the entire room darkened.
The woman fell into Pei Wenxuan's arms in the darkness. Her smooth and soft hands reached out from under the cloak and hooked around Pei Wenxuan's neck. She whispered, "Her Highness won't blame me."
"Really?"
Pei Wenxuan finally couldn't keep up the act. There was a hint of a smile in his tone in the darkness.
Li Rong instantly realized that Pei Wenxuan was bluffing her. She immediately wanted to get up, but halfway up, she was pulled back and fell into his arms.
Pei Wenxuan held her with one hand and used the other to lift her chin to look at him. He smiled and looked at the jade person under the moonlight. "Did Your Highness come here tonight to throw yourself into my arms and run away at night?"
Li Rong heard his words and rolled her eyes. She hooked her arms around his neck and sat up straight in his arms. She lazily said, "I'm at my wit's end and came to seek refuge with Daren. I plan to eat your food, drink your water, and use your money."
Li Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "Is Daren willing?"
Pei Wenxuan laughed when he heard this. He rubbed his nose against her face and said softly, "When have I ever been unwilling to give you money?" Pei Wenxuan kissed her dishonestly. "Everything this official has belongs to Your Highness."
"Pei Wenxuan." Li Rong was a little proud. "Do you think this counts as … a transaction of power and sex?"
Pei Wenxuan showed a surprised expression. "So Your Highness's sex can be transacted?"
Li Rong thought about it and felt that these words were not very pleasant to hear. Pei Wenxuan pushed the things on the table behind her and cleaned the table. He put her on it and put his hands on top of her. He smiled and said, "You should have said so earlier. In my previous life, this official still had some power. Whatever Your Highness wants, this official will give it to you."
"The mama in the palace said that the words of men cannot be trusted." Li Rong raised her body and whispered in his ear, "Especially the men in bed."
"For example, someone once said to me." Li Rong ran her finger across Pei Wenxuan's chest. "It's worth it to die on me."
"I didn't lie to you."
Pei Wenxuan smiled. Li Rong let out a muffled groan and grabbed his hand.
"How was the discussion with His Majesty tonight?"
Pei Wenxuan's voice was very steady. Li Rong grabbed the edge of the table and said in a cold voice, "Almost. I hinted to him about the conscription order and reminded him about the issue of military power. When he thinks about Qin Lin later, he will secretly give Qin Lin a conscription order."
"After all, the border can't be lost. He can't mobilize the troops sent by the aristocratic families, and he can't bear to let his own people fight. He can only let Qin Lin waste his time on the front lines."
Pei Wenxuan made a sound of agreement and rested his hands on the edge of the table. Li Rong gritted her teeth and didn't say anything. However, Pei Wenxuan liked to talk to her at this time, as if he wanted to see how long she could last.
After waiting for a long time, Li Rong's mind was somewhat scattered. She lost her sense of propriety when talking to Pei Wenxuan. She rarely complained and muttered, "In order to let Prince Su ascend the throne, he did everything he could. He sent Xiao Su to the northwest and gave Prince Su military power. He let Consort Rou handle the case of the poor families to help Prince Su accumulate his own people. He let Su Ronghua be his teacher and let the aristocratic families of Jiangnan establish diplomatic relations with him. He just waited for another ten or twenty years for him to teach Li Cheng. Then, he would properly take care of the world and hand it over to Li Cheng. I don't understand. We are both children. How can there be a difference? If he has a trace of pity for me and Chuan'er, he will think of a way … "
"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan knew that she was thinking about the past. He didn't want her to think about this, so he interlocked his fingers with hers and asked her softly, "Did you come to my residence because you missed me?"
Li Rong couldn't think and vaguely answered. Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and kissed her. "You're staying just like this?"
"En." Li Rong closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "I will hide here for the next few days. Every day, I will wait in your room for you to come back …"
Li Rong didn't finish her words. She didn't know what Pei Wenxuan was thinking, but everything stopped.
Li Rong opened her eyes blankly. Pei Wenxuan was also a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, Li Rong laughed and said, "Have someone bring water."
Pei Wenxuan stood up and carried Li Rong back to the bed. He had someone bring water.
After the two washed up, they lay on the bed together. Pei Wenxuan asked about the layout of the princess residence. After confirming that there were no problems, he took her into his arms.
His movements were a little heavy, as if he was very happy. Li Rong thought about what happened just now and couldn't help but feel a little strange. She raised her hand to her ear and looked sideways at Pei Wenxuan. "What were you thinking about just now? Why are you so excited?"
When Pei Wenxuan heard her question, even at night, Li Rong felt that he seemed to be blushing.
Li Rong couldn't help but reach out to touch his face to make sure that it wasn't burning. Pei Wenxuan quickly pushed her hand away and whispered, "Don't make trouble."
"Are you blushing?" Li Rong quickly asked. Pei Wenxuan pulled Li Rong into his arms. "Your Highness, let's sleep."
The more Pei Wenxuan tried to hide it, the more curious Li Rong was. She poked her head out of his arms and hugged him. "Tell me, how can I sleep if you don't tell me?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand to touch his earlobe and confirmed that it was really hot.
She shook Pei Wenxuan and asked, "If you don't tell us, we can't sleep. I can still catch up on sleep during the day, but you still have to go to court …"
"Okay."
Pei Wenxuan was a little helpless and opened his eyes. "Then I'll tell you, you can't laugh at me."
"I promise I won't laugh." Li Rong blinked. "Hurry up and say it."
"Actually, I've always had a wish in my heart."
Pei Wenxuan's voice was very soft. He hugged Li Rong and said softly, "I hope that one day, Your Highness can be mine alone. This period of time doesn't need to be too long. A few months is enough, a few days is fine, or even a few hours. I'll be very happy. "
This was an answer that Li Rong didn't expect. After all, she had experienced it before. At first, she thought that Pei Wenxuan would give her a more "erotic" reason. However, she found that every time she thought that Pei Wenxuan was addicted to the joy of making love, this person would give her a more gentle response.
She gently leaned against Pei Wenxuan. After a while, she asked, "How can I be considered your Highness?"
When Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong's question, he was a little surprised. After a while, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Just like this, it's very good."
"You're in my arms, and I'm in your heart."
"That's enough."
Li Rong didn't say anything. She looked up at him.
"Your Highness." Pei Wenxuan smiled. He took her hand and said gently, "With me, you can walk out of the past."
Regardless of whether Li Mingzai cared about her, regardless of whether Shangguan Yue loved her or Li Chuan, regardless of whether there was anyone who liked her in the past, regardless of how many broken relationships she had seen and how dark human nature was, as long as he, Pei Wenxuan, was here, he would not let her drown in the past.
He would pull her out and walk towards a better future together.
