The Princess Royal 度华年 Episode 20

Pei Wenxuan was inconvenienced due to his injury, and Li Rong habitually served him soup. On the surface, they seemed affectionate, but if you listen closely, you will find that the two of them were constantly bickering. Pei Wenxuan cleverly tested whether Li Rong liked the carefully constructed romance. Although he knew that Su Rongqing had planted peonies for Li Rong in his previous life, he understood that Li Rong preferred golden bird flowers.

That night, the two of them had their own plans and began to make their own preparations. The case in Li Rong's hands was about to come to an end. He deliberately displayed a box of gold in the court and publicly convicted 78 officials involved in the case on the grounds that someone wanted to bribe him. More than 40 of them were demoted and more than 20 were exiled. , seven people were executed, and a few who committed suicide due to fear of crime will be ignored for the time being.

On the other hand, in order to create a surprise for Li Rong, Pei Wenxuan specially selected a Butterfly Gorge surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation on both sides. After exhausting manpower and material resources, he completely covered the entire canyon with golden bird flowers and arranged it into a golden sea of ​​flowers. . Similarly, Li Rong also sent people to set up an ambush in Butterfly Gorge. As a result, Shangguan Ya saw Pei Wenxuan's team on the same day and immediately reported it to Li Rong.

Li Rong mistakenly thought that Pei Wenxuan had discovered his plan to deal with the aristocratic family, and secretly prepared help. So, she went to find Pei Wenxuan in person and revealed that she knew about Butterfly Gorge. Pei Wenxuan did not expect that Li Rong would know about it in advance, so he took advantage of the situation and extended the invitation, and Li Rong happily agreed.

As evening approached, Li Rong was in high spirits while dining, while Pei Wenxuan was worried, worried that his performance tomorrow would disappoint Li Rong. Therefore, Pei Wenxuan stayed up all night and didn't put on new clothes until dawn. He went to Butterfly Gorge with his beloved guqin in his arms, surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, and waited quietly for Li Rong to come for the appointment.

Li Rong learned that Pei Wenxuan had taken the elite away, and she was more certain about today's plan, and everything was ready. Then, she led Jinglan onto the carriage, with numerous guards on both sides of the team, and headed out of the city in a mighty manner. However, the killer was already in ambush on the way, and then Li Rong heard people outside jumping on their backs, and there was a sudden sound of slashing and killing. Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Rong, dressed in red, mounted a horse and galloped away, leading the killer into the preset ambush alone.

At this moment, Pei Wenxuan was plucking the strings lightly, and suddenly Tong Ye ran to report that there was a killer nearby, and he immediately ran in the direction of Li Rong. Just as Li Rong got off the horse to avoid the hidden weapon, Pei Wenxuan had already protected her in his arms. When he came back to his senses, he saw a fierce battle between the killer and the guards. The two groups of people were fighting, turning the sea of ​​golden birds and flowers he planted with his own hands into a sea of ​​blood.

Seeing the sea of ​​flowers and the guqin destroyed, Pei Wenxuan was heartbroken, but he still stood in front of Li Rong and withstood the killer's attack, resulting in multiple stab wounds on his body. Li Rong decisively ordered the detonation of the explosives and helped Pei Wenxuan hide in a prearranged cave. Pei Wenxuan tried hard to control his emotions and refused to let Li Rong bandage him, and his face became increasingly pale.

During the conversation, Li Rong was surprised to find that the sea of ​​flowers was originally a surprise prepared by Pei Wenxuan for her, and it was not his intention to cooperate to lure out the killer. When she saw the guqin with its strings broken, she was stunned for a moment. Then, amid Shangguanya's urging, she hugged the guqin and caught up with Pei Wenxuan. However, Pei Wenxuan looked sad and confessed that he didn't understand why Li Rong resisted love in the past. Now he understands that if Li Rong has love in his heart, he will definitely lose it. Looking back, he seems to have become the laughing stock of self-love today.

Pei Wenxuan bluntly pointed out Li Rong's thoughts, thinking that she was clearly aware of his feelings, but never responded to them. She even pretended not to know, continued to maintain the so-called friendship, accepted his kindness, and then regarded him as a human being. A person who is good at playing tricks. This feeling made Pei Wenxuan feel embarrassed and exhausted, completely defeated and without dignity.

After saying these words, Pei Wenxuan left without looking back. Li Rong returned to the sea of ​​​​flowers with Qin in her arms, and ordered the guards to take away the living killer for interrogation first. At this moment, Su Ronghua and Su Rongqing hurried over. Su Rongqing reminded Li Rong to be careful. If she was in need, both the Su family and the Ministry of Justice would protect her.

After the killer leader was captured and brought back to the Inspectorate, Li Rong found out that he came from the famous Qixing Hall in the world and was the deputy head of the hall, Lin Feibai. Li Rong personally negotiated with Lin Feibai, proposed cooperation, and asked them to betray the people they hired. After the matter was completed, Li Rong promised to allocate a piece of land from his fiefdom to Qixingtang without any investment from them, and only needed to complete the transaction in name. At that time, Qixingtang can set up a stronghold in Li Rong's fiefdom, and Li Rong will ensure their safety.

Lin Feibai hesitated for a moment and revealed that his employer was Xie Lanqing, the Minister of Punishment, and Li Rong gave the killing order without hesitation. After Li Rong left, Shangguan Ya interrogated Lin Feibai again, but Lin Feibai's attitude was completely opposite to before. Seeing that Shangguan Ya was so angry, Su Ronghua took the initiative to relieve her anger and accompanied her to see Li Rong. Shangguanya saw that Li Rong had not returned to the princess's mansion so far, so she guessed that there was a relationship problem between her and Pei Wenxuan. Su Ronghua thought that Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong were not suitable for each other.
