Li Rong watched as Pei Wenxuan quickly got up. She immediately reacted and frowned, "You lied to me?"
"It's just a temporary measure," Pei Wenxuan quickly said, "I can explain."
Li Rong heard his words and was so angry that she laughed. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she only shouted, "Stop the carriage!"
"Don't, don't, don't!" Pei Wenxuan got up and pulled Li Rong, "Don't be angry, I really have no other choice. I'll explain to you, okay?"
Li Rong ignored him. When she saw the carriage stop, she pushed him and turned around to get off the carriage.
However, she used a lot of strength in her push, and Pei Wenxuan really fell back, pressing on his wound, forcing him to suck in a breath of cold air. Li Rong heard the gasp behind her. She paused and turned around to see Pei Wenxuan sitting on the ground. The wound on his shoulder was stained with blood. Li Rong's expression changed. She quickly went back and helped him up, "Are you looking for death?"
Pei Wenxuan followed her strength and sat back down on the couch. Li Rong called for a doctor. The doctor came up the carriage to look at the wound and bandaged it again.
While bandaging, Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan's wound. Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong. When the bandages were changed, the doctor and servants left. Pei Wenxuan reached out from the quilt and carefully touched Li Rong's hand. He used his hand to gently touch her and whispered, "I was just pretending for everyone to see. I can't explain it to you. Don't be angry, okay?"
Li Rong was interrupted and her anger dissipated. She knew that Pei Wenxuan had his own considerations. She lowered her head to look at the embroidered pattern on the quilt and said, "What do you plan to do? Speak."
"Today, Consort Rou asked me to tell the remaining scholars to give up on pursuing the matter of this substitute examination. If they are willing to give up, they will be allowed to participate in the examination normally and they will be given a sum of money. If they are not willing … "
Pei Wenxuan didn't continue, but Li Rong already understood. She nodded and said slowly, "Consort Rou wants to win both sides. On one hand, he wants to gain a good reputation for helping the people. On the other hand, he doesn't want to offend too many aristocratic families. "
Li Rong said and looked up at him, "So you deliberately came to cause trouble at Wang Houwen's house to make Wang take you in?"
After all, Wang Houwen was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. How could he not have a way to deal with a direct attack on his home?
"Yes," he nodded, "I I I didn't think Su Yong, Su Yong, he came. Since he came, I couldn't help but worry that he would use this opportunity to kill me, so I arranged for bodyguards to protect him. At the same time, I chatted with him to stall for time and waited for His Highness. "
"Then why did you get hit by this sword?" Li Rong frowned. Pei Wenxuan touched his nose in embarrassment, "That's right, the position of the Minister of Justice hasn't been decided yet."
He got into trouble at the hands of Su Yongqing, so Su Yongqing was more or less implicated.
Li Rong knew what he was planning, so she lowered her head and didn't say anything. Pei Wenxuan saw this and reached out to pull her into his arms. He comforted her, "I suffered this injury myself. I know what I'm doing, so don't worry too much."
"Recuperate well."
Li Rong used her fan to block his hand that reached out to hug her, and said indifferently, "Once you've recovered, I'll deal with you."
Saying this, Li Rong helped her lie down. Pei Wenxuan looked at the person in front of him who had a straight face but was unusually gentle, and couldn't help but laugh.
Li Rong glanced at him indifferently, "What are you laughing at?"
"I thought His Highness would deal with me."
"I'm not young anymore," Li Rong sat beside him, "Even if I wanted to find trouble with you, it wouldn't be now. I'll go to the palace in a while, you go back and sleep first. "
Pei Wenxuan responded. Seeing Li Rong in a daze, he reached out and held Li Rong's fist, and said gently, "His Highness, what did you say to Su Yongqing just now?"
"Hm?" Li Rong turned her head. She didn't expect him to be interested in this matter.
Just now, when she spoke to Su Yongqing, her voice was naturally not loud enough for others to hear, so Pei Wenxuan only saw the two of them confronting each other. Li Rong thought for a moment, and only said, "I said some harsh words to him, that's all."
"But when Your Highness turned around, you seemed sad."
Pei Wenxuan continued to ask. Li Rong didn't want to answer, but when she met Pei Wenxuan's smiling eyes, she paused for a moment.
She guessed that Pei Wenxuan cared, so after a short silence, she smiled bitterly, and slowly said, "I just feel that raising a dog can be considered to have expended a lot of effort, but in the end, it still can't mature."
"It's not like it's only been a day or two that he can't mature," Pei Wenxuan was somewhat curious, "When Your Highness learned that he killed Your Highness, Your Highness didn't feel sad, so why do you care now?"
Li Rong didn't speak, so Pei Wenxuan waited quietly. The wheels of the carriage slowly rolled over the ground, making creaking sounds.
"Probably, it's within my expectations that he would kill me." Li Rong smiled and shook her head, "But he doesn't even know what kind of person I am, so it's beyond my expectations."
"That's enough," Li Rong turned her head and tucked him in, "You're so narrow-minded. I didn't see you being so calculative in your previous life, so why do you want to fight for everything in this life?"
"Actually, in my previous life, I was also very narrow-minded."
Pei Wenxuan didn't hide it, and Li Rong laughed, "Oh? Why didn't I know? "
"I almost wanted to kill him."
Li Rong paused, and Pei Wenxuan's voice was very soft, "When you wanted to separate from me because of him, I thought about whether I should kill him or not."
"Then why not?"
Li Rong pretended to be indifferent and joked, "If we killed him, maybe we could live for a few more years."
"Yes, I also regret it." Pei Wenxuan lay down and looked at Li Rong, smiling, "But if he died at that time, wouldn't you remember him for the rest of your life?"
"I don't know about that."
The curtain of the carriage suddenly rose and fell. Li Rong glanced outside, and saw that they were not far from the princess' residence. Li Rong patted the quilt and said to Pei Wenxuan, "Go to sleep first."
"Your Highness, are you sending me back to the residence?"
"You're in my carriage, and you still want to go back?"
Li Rong laughed and gently patted Pei Wenxuan's face, "Come back to the princess' residence with me, Lord Pei?"
"Then what about Her Majesty …" Pei Wenxuan frowned. Li Rong laughed, "I'm infatuated with Lord Pei. Today, I found out that Lord Pei wanted to meet another woman, so I went to catch them in the act. When I found out that Lord Pei was in danger, I kidnapped Lord Pei and brought him back to the residence. What do you think of this reason?"
Pei Wenxuan thought for a moment, raised his good hand, and put it behind his head, nodded, and said, "Okay."
The two arrived at the princess' residence, and just as they reached the entrance, they heard the coachman's nervous voice, "Your Highness …"
Li Rong lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw Consort Rou's capable bodyguard blocking the door. He said coldly, "Your Highness Ping L E, you violated the ban and left the residence without permission …"
"What do you think?"
Li Rong directly said. The bodyguard was stunned by her "what do you think?" Li Rong sneered, "Instead of questioning me, why don't you go back and ask your master if there are any clues after investigating Chen Houzhao's case? I promised my father that I would be grounded to give him face. She shouldn't use a chicken feather as an arrow. She really thinks that I, Ping L E, am easy to bully! "
"Go back and tell her that if she dares to let those shady women get close to the former prince consort again, I'll tear her face off for her if she doesn't want her face!"
After Li Rong finished scolding, everyone was stunned. They didn't understand what Li Rong meant by shady women.
When Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong's scolding, he quickly pretended to faint. Li Rong directly asked people to carry Pei Wenxuan out. When the bodyguard saw Pei Wenxuan, he immediately said, "Your Highness, this is the imperial court's official …"
"This is my former prince consort!" Li Rong said righteously and stood in front of the bodyguard, "Since he married me, he will be my man for the rest of his life. If he wants to die, he will die in my residence in Ping L E. If you don't let him die here, I will let you die here."
"Get out of the way! Carry him in! "
Li Rong raised his hand and pointed at the residence. He stood in front of the bodyguards and forced a path for them to carry Pei Wenxuan in.
After Pei Wenxuan was carried in, as soon as they entered the room, Pei Wenxuan opened his eyes.
"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan looked at the woman who was sitting in the room and fanning herself. Li Rong looked at him from the corner of his eyes. Pei Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "After today, the news of Your Highness being blinded by beauty will spread in the imperial court again."
"How many times have I been blinded by you?" Li Rong glared at him and sneered, "I have chased after you and cried all the way. Do you think I will be scolded for snatching you into the residence when you are in danger?"
Pei Wenxuan was amused by him and waved at Li Rong.
Li Rong walked in front of him and sat on the bed. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Your Highness, I want to ask you a question. Can you answer me truthfully?"
Pei Wenxuan seemed to have thought for a long time before he asked. Li Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Go ahead."
"Your Highness, if we were not killed by Su Yongqing," Pei Wenxuan asked with some difficulty, "would we still be together?"
Li Rong didn't expect him to ask this. She was stunned. Pei Wenxuan laughed and said, "I was just casually asking. This is nonsense. You don't have to think too much about it."
"Then why did you ask?"
Pei Wenxuan choked. Li Rong laughed. She reached out and hugged Pei Wenxuan. "Don't worry. No matter what."
"I like Brother Pei the most."
Pei Wenxuan laughed. When he laughed, his chest shook slightly. He lowered his head and kissed Li Rong's hair. The moonlight fell on his light gray eyes. He said gently, "I also like Your Highness the most."
When Pei Wenxuan fell asleep in the Princess Residence, Consort Rou's imperial bodyguard returned to the palace. He repeated Li Rong's words to Consort Rou in a low voice. Hua Le was so angry that he suddenly stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean by a promiscuous woman? She wants to fight over a man who divorced her. Does she have any shame? What is she so proud of? Mother, "Hua Le turned to Consort Rou and said," I will go to Imperial Father and report her for violating the order to save Pei Wenxuan. "
"Enough." Consort Rou sipped his tea and said slowly, "She was grounded because your Imperial Father asked her to give us face. She should be thankful if she doesn't cause trouble. Don't go looking for trouble now."
After all, Chen Houwen's case still had not been found to be related to Li Rong.
Consort Rou did not care about Li Rong at all. He was more concerned about why Pei Wenxuan had provoked Wang Houwen for no reason.
He had provoked Wang Houwen, and now he was in trouble …
Those students, who was going to speak for him? What should they do next?
Wang Houwen was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This matter was obviously related to him. However, he held a high position and had many henchmen. She could not touch him at all. Pei Wenxuan had used her name to offend him. She still had to apologize.
Consort Rou thought for a moment and asked someone to draft an apology letter. He added some money and sent it to Wang Houwen.
However, before Consort Rou could send it out, he received a letter saying that the Wang family had sent it from outside the palace.
Consort Rou hurriedly asked someone to open the letter. There was a limerick written on the letter:
The crows in the Pig Food Alley are busy, but a new branch calls itself a phoenix.
Wearing a yellow hat and green mouth holding a pearl, it is difficult to hide the filthy night fragrance.
Consort Rou's expression changed when he saw the poem. Hua Le hurriedly took the paper and scanned it. He was furious. "This Wang Houwen is too presumptuous! Who does he think he is to say that you … "
The Pig Food Alley was the place where Consort Rou was born. This poem was extremely sarcastic.
Consort Rou's expression did not change. After a long time, she laughed softly.
"Good, very good."
