Accompanied by Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong came to the East Palace in person. After Feng Ming informed him, there were coughs coming from inside the door. Pei Wenxuan thought that Li Chuan had been injured by a sword, so in order to prevent Li Rong from worrying, he ordered Feng Ming to place a screen between the two of them. Li Rong entered the study alone and stared at Li Chuan's figure through the screen. Past memories flooded into her heart.
Compared with the gloomy and violent Li Chuan in the past, he was now like an uncut jade, with a pure mind and a gentle personality, which made Li Rong's voice soften unconsciously. Li Rong revealed that he had a nightmare, but Li Chuan couldn't help laughing after hearing the content of the dream, and comforted his sister that she didn't have to be afraid, and that he would never hurt her in any case.
In the ensuing conversation, the siblings relived their childhood memories, and the two had a deep relationship. Whether Li Chuan was imprisoned by his mother or punished by his mother for raising a cat, Li Rong would always stand in front of him without hesitation. Li Chuan would also repeatedly make concessions and compromises for the safety of his sister.
So Li Rong became confused for a moment, as if she had never really understood Li Chuan. The real Li Chuan was innocent and kind-hearted. For the sake of his loved ones, he was willing to bury himself deep in the palace and protect them from living a safe life. No matter how ruthless Li Chuan becomes in the future, at least for now, he is still the young man who is willing to transform mountains and rivers with his body and bring beautiful scenery to the world.
Thinking of this, Li Rong suddenly spoke and asked Li Chuan if he became a person like his father in the future, who would be more indifferent and suspicious than him. Even if he could break the shackles of the family and succeed in the Northern Expedition, the price would be to imprison his mother, kill his uncle, and poison his eldest sister. It causes turmoil in the world, how should he face it?
Li Chuan's expression changed after hearing this, and he noticed something strange about Li Rong. He immediately walked out from behind the screen, handed a sword into Li Rong's hand, and stated firmly and frankly that if this was the future, he hoped that Li Rong would kill him now and end it. All of this can be considered a happy ending.
After he finished speaking, Li Chuan looked at Li Rong with the fearless eyes unique to a young man, with a resolute look on his face, without even retreating, as if he was really ready to die. However, Li Rong was shocked by this and couldn't bear it. He turned around and cut off the wooden box with his sword, turned his back and tried to calm down.
Later, Li Rong revealed the situation in the northwest to Li Chuan in detail, pointing out that in order to defraud the emperor's trust, the Xiao family arranged for a fake King Su to help him ascend the throne. She guessed that Su Rongqing might be secretly uniting with other aristocratic families. Outside of Huajing, the Su family had ten thousand troops who could arrive overnight, so the emperor might let him continue to be the prince. The premise was that without Li Rong and the Shangguan family, whether they could accept the whole family It’s about Li Chuan.
Li Rong decided to hand over the inspectorate to Li Chuan and return to Qingzhou immediately. She would never return to Huajing again in her life. She also hoped that Li Chuan would let her go and not let her dream become a reality. Before leaving, Li Rong told Li Chuan that it wasn't that she didn't believe in him, but that she didn't believe in the human heart of the world.
The emperor personally visited Li Cheng and saw the fear on his face. He felt guilty and promised to pass the throne to him. After the emperor left, Concubine Rou hugged the disguised Li Cheng tightly and repeatedly reminded him to remember his identity as King Su, and from now on he would enjoy endless glory and wealth. Li Rong arranged for Pei Wenxuan to stay in Huajing to assist Li Chuan, but Pei Wenxuan insisted on accompanying Li Rong. Together, they got rid of the obsessions of their previous lives and decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
At this moment, in the northwest, Xunchuan gathered all the soldiers and soldiers to prepare to return to the capital, swearing to be loyal to the princess and protect his family and country. Concubine Rou took retreat as a step forward and asked the emperor to stay away from Huajing City. The emperor asked Concubine Rou to go back to the palace and take care of Prince Su, and then ordered Fu Lai to summon the prince and prepare to give him one last chance.
Because Li Rong was pregnant, Pei Wenxuan was worried about the bumpy road and many inconsiderations. He said that he would go find her after he had finished handling the prince's affairs and ensured that he was safe. Li Rong laughed and teased Pei Wenxuan for becoming verbose, and learned that his father suddenly summoned Li Chuan and decided to leave the city today.
When Shangguan Ya heard that Li Rong was leaving Beijing, he came to see her off in person. The two of them eliminated their estrangement and settled their old grudges. Pei Wenxuan received the news from behind the scenes and was shocked to discover the conspiracy of his second uncle. He immediately ordered Tong Ye to count his people and prepare to seize the position of the head of the family at the meeting in the ancestral hall. Before leaving, Pei Wenxuan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and Li Rong vowed that if anything unexpected happened to him, he would gather troops to avenge him.
Concubine Rou quickly sent a message to Su Rongqing, telling him that the palace would take action tonight at Xu Shi. If they could get the support of the Su family, the Su and Li families would rule the world together. Su Minzhi summoned Su Rongqing alone and asked him why he had the intention of rebelliousness. He thought that he knew his son better than his father, but at this moment it was difficult to understand his thoughts. Su Rongqing analyzed the situation after the prince ascended the throne to his father, insisting that if the prince ascended the throne, the Su family would surely suffer, and that only Li Cheng was the most suitable candidate for emperor.
