Li Rong was hugged by Pei Wenxuan. This kind of hug gave her an inexplicable sense of comfort.
She was silent for a long time. Then, she slowly said, "Did we all have a bad life in our previous lives?"
Shangguan Ya, who became the Scepter of the Shangguan Clan; Li Chuan, who cultivated for 20 years; Qin Zhenzhen, who entered the coffin with his sword; Su Ronghua, who committed suicide in prison.
Su Yongqing, who stayed by her side but couldn't be together; Pei Wenxuan, who looked at the moon for 30 years but couldn't reach it; and Li Rong, who stumbled alone until her head bled.
At the end of her previous life, their lives in the palace were like a reincarnation. It was just that 30 years later, the lives of the people around Li Ming were replayed in another way.
This kind of past frightened everyone who knew about it. They couldn't help but try their best to stop it. He drew warmth from Li Rong's body and said in a low voice, "So in this life, we can't live like this."
"If Your Highness wants to kill Li Cheng, then I'll arrange it. If something happens, I'll die with you, Your Highness." Pei Wenxuan put his head on her shoulder. "Even if you don't trust me, you should trust your interests."
"Pei Wenxuan." Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and couldn't help but laugh. "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"I died once and lost once." Pei Wenxuan hugged Li Rong. "Compared to that, losing you is more terrible."
One was a simple death, the other was a death that spanned the whole life.
Li Rong listened quietly. She was silent for a long time before she finally said, "Okay."
"Arrange it." Li Rong couldn't help but clench her fists. "Kill Li Cheng."
After making the decision, Li Rong gave the order that day. That night, Li Rong entered the palace and told Shangguan Yue all her plans.
After she finished, Li Rong said softly, "When the time comes, mother and I won't be able to escape father's wrath. How does mother plan to deal with it?"
"I'm the Empress." Shangguan Yue's voice was very soft. "I can't leave. When the time comes, I'll go to prison and do whatever I want. As for you... "Shangguan Yue looked at Li Rong." If something really happens, you can escape from the city's secret passage. us. "
"Secret passage?" Li Rong was curious. "Mother, you mean …"
"Go"'s "Yue held her cup," Give her my token and tell her your identity. then. she'll take her's and leave. leave. and leave. Go to Qing Prefecture after you leave the city. Come back when Chuan 'er ascends the throne. "
"What about you?"
Li Rong frowned. "What will you do if I leave?"
Shangguan Yue was silent. After a long time, she reached out and patted the back of Li Rong's hand. "I'm relieved as long as you and Chuan'er are well."
Li Rong was stunned. She rarely heard Shangguan Yue say such things. Shangguan Yue also seemed to feel awkward. She couldn't help but withdraw her hand and said awkwardly, "You don't have to worry about me. After all, I'm your mother. I have my own means to protect myself."
Li Rong looked at Shangguan Yue quietly. After a long time, she stood up. Before Shangguan Yue could react, Li Rong went forward and hugged her.
"Mother." Her voice was very soft. "You'll be fine."
She was willing to die for her children.
She was willing to risk her life to protect them.
Li Rong didn't realize that the thoughts that flashed through her mind at that moment were very different from her usual behavior.
Li Rong came out of the palace and immediately contacted Shangguan Yue to arrange everything.
On the third day, Lin Feibai also rushed back from the Southwest.
Lin Feibai went straight to the Inspection Department on the day he entered the capital. When Li Rong went out to receive him, he saw an extremely tall young man in black standing in the hall.
He had a murderous aura that could only be found after walking through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. When Li Rong entered the hall, Lin Feibai knelt down on one knee and said straightforwardly, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Li Rong and Lin Feibai talked about the Southwest for a while before asking Shangguan Yue to send him out.
When Shangguan Yue sent Lin Feibai out of the Inspection Department, she couldn't help but laugh at him. "You've become a mute after going to the military camp. It can be seen that life in the military camp is very boring."
"It's alright." Lin Feibai's voice was very soft. "The Ye card that Eldest Miss gave me is quite interesting."
Shangguan Yue was stunned. She didn't expect Lin Feibai to say this. The two of them crossed the threshold together. Lin Feibai said calmly, "The Xie family's rules are strict. It's too difficult to get their approval just by relying on my military power. Miss Shangguan, why don't you think about it?" Lin Feibai turned to look at her. "Using your identity to help me?"
These words were too unexpected for Shangguan Yue. She was stunned.
"I won't restrict you in anything. The military power in my hands is the military power in your hands. If you help me obtain the Xie family, I will become your cornerstone. If you don't like this marriage at any time, we can divorce. "
Lin Feibai said very calmly, "Think about it carefully. I'll go back first."
After Lin Feibai finished speaking, he cupped his hands and bowed before turning to leave.
He came like a bolt of lightning and left decisively. One man and one horse left the Inspection Department, like a lone wolf walking in Huajing.
Shangguan Yue paused for a moment before coming back to her senses. She turned around and returned to the lobby.
Li Rong was looking at the map in the lobby. When she heard Shangguan Yue come in, she didn't look up and continued to observe the route on the map. After a long time, she looked up at Shangguan Yue and saw that Shangguan Yue was in a daze.
Li Rong couldn't help but laugh. "What are you in a daze for?"
Shangguan Yue was startled by Li Rong. She came back to her senses and subconsciously said, "Your Highness."
"It's rare to see you in a daze." Li Rong changed directions around the map. Shangguan Yue followed behind her. Li Rong slowly said, "Did Lin Feibai say something to you?"
"He said something, and this subordinate couldn't help but think more about it."
Shangguan Yue followed Li Rong. Without waiting for Li Rong to ask, Shangguan Yue directly said, "He told me that it's too difficult to get the approval of the Xie family with just military power, so he wants to borrow my identity."
"Identity?" Li Rong frowned and glanced at Shangguan Yue. "How does he want to use your identity?"
"Your Highness." Shangguan Yue couldn't help but laugh when she heard Li Rong's question. "After all, I'm the Eldest Miss of the Shangguan family."
If Lin Feibai could marry the Eldest Miss of the Shangguan family, even if he was an illegitimate son, the Xie family would still respect him more.
But when he heard this, Li Rong decisively said, "Crazy."
"Your Highness?" Shangguan Yue was surprised by this evaluation. Li Rong directly said, "A mere Xie family wants to marry you? Who does he think he is?"
"Your Highness." Shangguan Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The Xie family is also one of the seven major surnames. How can it be as bad as you say?"
"Compared to the Chuan 'er, I really don't think much of the Xie family."
Li Rong glanced at her and hurriedly glanced at her with a "crazy" gaze. "If you want to get married for this, why didn't you enter the palace back then?"
"Entering the palace and marrying outside are naturally different." Shangguan Yue's voice was very soft. "Once you enter the palace, you can't leave. No matter how you marry outside the palace, you can still turn back."
"From what you're saying," Li Rong leaned in front of the table and tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table. "You don't seem to object to this matter?"
"It's all about marrying," Shangguan Yue said respectfully. "First, I have to be happy, and second, I have to be valuable. I'm not young anymore, so it's time to consider these things. "
"What about Su Ronghua?" Li Rong looked up at her. Shangguan Yue was silent for a long time before she said, "We're just having fun together. If he can't help me with anything, then he has no value."
When Li Rong heard this, he looked at her calmly.
Shangguan Yue stood respectfully. For a moment, she felt as if she had been seen through. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "Your Highness …"
"Young people are always stubborn."
Li Rong smiled gently. "You always talk as if you don't care about anything. If you really don't care about anything, then that's good."
"Your Highness, I'm not …"
Shangguan Yue hurriedly spoke, trying to change Li Rong's mind. Li Rong waved his hand. "You don't have to explain to me. You know what you're doing."
Shangguan Yue paused. Li Rong looked at the sky and felt that he had given his orders. He turned around and said, "Alright, I'm going back. You can continue with your work."
After he finished speaking, Li Rong asked someone to pack up the booklets and walked out.
After she went out, she saw Su Ronghua standing at the door.
He leaned against the stone lion at the door and casually twirled his fan. Li Rong walked out and saw Su Ronghua. She smiled and cupped her hands. "Eldest Young Master Su."
"Your Highness?"
Su Ronghua smiled. "Your Highness, you're leaving so early?"
"There aren't many things to do today."
Li Rong explained and glanced at the Inspection Department. "Eldest Young Master Su, are you waiting for Ah Ya?"
"I asked her to play mahjong together." Su Ronghua's eyes were smiling when he mentioned Shangguan Yue. "Since I have nothing to do, I'm waiting for her at the door."
Li Rong nodded and said, "Then wait patiently. I'll go back first."
"Farewell, Your Highness."
Su Ronghua bowed respectfully. After sending off Li Rong, Su Ronghua waited for a long time before he saw Shangguan Ya walk out.
When he saw Shangguan Ya, he straightened up and smiled. "You're finally out."
Shangguan Ya stood in front of the door and looked at him quietly. After a long time, she smiled and walked out.
She walked in front of Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua crossed his arms. "Where do you want to go today?"
"I'm a little tired." Shangguan Ya lowered her head. "I'll go back first."
"Then I'll send you off."
Su Ronghua seemed to be prepared for everything. He didn't get angry when she stood him up. Shangguan Ya responded. She thought for a while and said, "Let's go back."
With that, Shangguan Ya turned around and walked towards the Shangguan Residence.
Su Ronghua followed behind her with his hands in his sleeves. He was like a silent shadow, silently accompanying and protecting her. When she turned around, she could see this young man standing under the light and looking at her with a smile.
So she didn't dare to look back. The two of them walked through the streets and finally arrived at the Shangguan Residence. At this time, Shangguan Ya stopped. She had her back to Su Ronghua and looked up at the plaque of the Shangguan Residence.
"I've reached the end of the road."
Her voice was very soft. Su Ronghua smiled. "You should rest first. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Su Ronghua." Shangguan Ya turned around to look at him with her hands behind her back. Su Ronghua tilted his head and heard Shangguan Ya ask, "Why aren't you the head of the Su Family?"
Su Ronghua was stunned. Then he touched his nose awkwardly. "Why are you asking about this?"
"I'm just curious." Shangguan Ya seemed to be careless. "You're the eldest son of the Su Family. In terms of the eldest son, you should be the head of the family. Why did you let Su Yongqing become the heir?"
"Ah, it's hard to explain." Su Ronghua sighed. "Anyway, I've never been cut out to be the head of the family since I was young. I don't want to be."
"Then what do you want to be?" Shangguan Ya smiled at Su Ronghua with her hands behind her back. Su Ronghua shook his head. "I've never thought about it. I think it's pretty good as it is now."
"Everything is taken care of by my second brother and father. I just gamble, walk the bird, eat, drink, and play." Su Ronghua opened the fan in his hand and showed the word "Xiaoyao" on it. "Isn't it very happy?"
Shangguan Ya didn't say anything. She just looked at him with a smile.
Su Ronghua looked at the people who had been watching them at the entrance of the Shangguan Residence. He waved his hand and said, "That's enough. Hurry up and go back."
"Okay."
Shangguan Ya nodded. She turned around and walked in.
Before she entered, she couldn't help but turn around and look at him.
Su Ronghua was standing not far away. When he saw her turn around, he smiled.
Shangguan Ya stared at him. After a long time, she said calmly, "Don't come looking for me in the future."
Su Ronghua was stunned. Shangguan Ya laughed. "I'm not young anymore. I can't always fool around with you. Go back. "
After Shangguan Ya finished speaking, she turned around decisively and walked through the door.
When Su Ronghua came back to his senses, he hurried forward and said anxiously, "Wait, what do you mean? Shangguan Ya …"
"Eldest Young Master Su." The gatekeeper stopped Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua only had time to watch Shangguan Ya's back disappear into the courtyard. The gatekeeper said awkwardly, "It's late. Please go back."
"I just want to ask one question." Su Ronghua said anxiously, "Let me pass … I …"
"Eldest Young Master Su!"
The gatekeeper raised his voice. "Our Eldest Miss is a girl after all. Please restrain yourself a little."
When Su Ronghua heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He suddenly realized that there was actually no connection between him and Shangguan Ya.
When she wanted to see him, she would see him. If there was a day when she didn't want to see him, there was no need to see him again.
This realization made Su Ronghua's heart suddenly tighten. He stood at the door and quietly watched the girl walk through the courtyard and gradually disappear into the distance.
He stood there for a moment. When he couldn't see her anymore, he took a deep breath and finally turned to leave.
The next morning, Su Ronghua squatted at the entrance of the Inspection Department early in the morning. Shangguan Ya had already asked someone to inquire about Su Ronghua's whereabouts. He was at the main entrance, so she left from the back door.
Su Ronghua waited at the door for a day. When Li Rong came out, he saw Su Ronghua standing at the door with a straight face. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Eldest Young Master Su, why are you still here?"
When Su Ronghua saw Li Rong, he forced a smile. "I'm waiting for Miss Aya."
"Aya?" Li Rong was at a loss. "Didn't she leave long ago?"
Su Ronghua's expression changed slightly. He maintained his smile and said respectfully, "If that's the case, then I'll come back tomorrow."
Li Rong was a little puzzled by Su Ronghua's actions. When she returned to the residence, she sat by the bed and ran to Pei Wenxuan, who was still reviewing the memorials, and explained the matter to him. She frowned and asked in confusion, "One of them is looking and the other is hiding. What are they doing?"
"Miss Aya is twenty years old."
Pei Wenxuan was reviewing the memorials. "Her marriage has long been monitored by the court officials. Since she has to marry sooner or later, she might as well marry a suitable person."
"Marrying for power?" Li Rong frowned. "Then she might as well enter the palace."
"This is different." Pei Wenxuan looked up and smiled. "Entering the palace is for the Shangguan Clan. But if she marries Lin Feibai now, then Miss Aya will be doing it for herself. "
Pei Wenxuan stood up and walked in front of Li Rong. He pulled out a small stool and sat down. He dried Li Rong's feet with a handkerchief and said slowly, "Don't worry about her. Young people will always hit a few walls. They will only know how to turn back when it hurts."
"How do you know that she hit a wall?" Li Rong raised his eyebrows. Pei Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Aren't you the one who's worried? I thought you didn't agree. "
"I don't agree with her." Li Rong said righteously, "But I don't agree with you even more."
"What do you disagree with me about?" Pei Wenxuan let her sleep on the bed and called someone in to bring out the water to wash her feet. He blew out the lamp and came back to lie beside Li Rong.
Li Rong thought seriously on the bed. "I feel that I don't seem to disagree with your point of view."
"Hmm?" Pei Wenxuan frowned. Then he heard Li Rong say doubtfully, "I seem to disagree with you. I want to refute whatever you say. "
"Is that so?" Pei Wenxuan glanced at him provocatively. Li Rong propped himself up and pointed at Pei Wenxuan. "Yes, yes, yes, that's right. I can't stand it."
"There's one thing that I think Your Highness will agree with me."
Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong with a smile. Li Rong said, "Hmm?" Pei Wenxuan stood up. The quilt slid off his body and he moved closer to Li Rong.
"It's late." Pei Wenxuan's voice was very soft. "I don't want to sleep with Your Highness. Does Your Highness agree?"
Li Rong heard this and immediately felt guilty.
"I agree." Li Rong nodded quickly. "I agree."
"What a coincidence." Pei Wenxuan's voice was gentle. "I have the same temper as Your Highness. Your Highness agrees." Pei Wenxuan said and pushed Li Rong onto the bed. Li Rong screamed. Pei Wenxuan held her down and laughed. "I don't agree."
