The Princess Royal 度华年 Episode 7

Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan left Tuoba Yan Mansion and headed straight to the mountains where the Qin family lived in seclusion. According to the trajectory of the previous life, the Yang family should have revived the war, occupying the northwest and causing internal strife with the emperor. However, Emperor Li Ming was very patient and not only exhausted the Yang family, but also deployed people to isolate it. Waiting for the enemy to attack again two years later, This group of people lost completely on the battlefield.

It was at this time that Li Chuan, recommended by Qin Zhenzhen, found Qin Lin, the eldest son of Qin, and strongly recommended him to sit on the front line and command the army. Qin Lin lived up to expectations and regained the lost ground in only fifteen days and stabilized the northwest defense line. The queen wanted to win over the Qin family, so she accepted Qin Zhenzhen as the crown prince's concubine.

Now that Li Rong has obtained the account book first, foiled Yang's conspiracy, and arranged a meeting with Qin Lin in advance, it shows that everyone's fate is quietly changing. She was curious whether Pei Wenxuan would still be willing to let Qin Zhenzhen enter the palace after his rebirth. Pei Wenxuan did not answer directly, but he hoped in his heart that Qin Lin could come out of the mountain as soon as possible to avoid the recurrence of tragedy.

Then the two of them visited Qin Lin with the invitation. As expected, Qin Lin refused to see the visitor, causing them to return without success. Pei Wenxuan knew something about Qin Lin and comforted Li Rong. Li Rong did not need to be discouraged, because Qin Lin himself was good at fighting but did not like fighting. Back then, he defeated the enemy with 800 light cavalry. He was once a fierce general in the north. Later, he Because his father was killed in the battlefield, he returned to Beijing in anger and took refuge in Jiulu Mountain. If Qin Zhenzhen hadn't recommended him, he might never have returned to the battlefield in his life.

Pei Wenxuan was talking to himself, not noticing that Li Rong was tired. At dusk, the mountain road was rugged, and Li Rong's pace became slower and slower. At this moment, Pei Wenxuan noticed that Li Rong's face was still self-reliant, so he carried her on his back and took a carriage back to the house near the foot of the mountain. He found dozens of people outside the house. Long wait.

The leader was Li Kui, the Inspector of the Criminal Department, who was ordered to take Pei Wenxuan back to help investigate the murder case. The deceased was Tuoba Yan, a wealthy businessman from the Western Regions. After Pei Wenxuan and Li Kui left, Li Rong immediately wrote a letter to his brother Li Chuan, telling him to go to Jiulu Mountain to find Qin Lin as soon as possible, while she went to the prison to visit Pei Wenxuan and prepare to solve the current trouble.

Early the next morning, Li Chuan's request to see Qin Lin was in vain, so he simply sat outside the door and waited patiently. He had plenty of dry food in his bag. On the other hand, Su Rongqing managed the officials for Li Rong, took her to the room where the accounts were kept in the Ministry of War, and retrieved all the accounts related to the northwest border. Because there were many accounts, Li Rong had to read them one by one and stayed there for most of the day. Su Rongqing thoughtfully brought tea, which reminded her of many past events.

Li Rong took the opportunity to ask Su Rongqing why he suddenly appeared in Tuoba Yan Mansion, and Su Rongqing confessed that he cared about Li Rong. As soon as these words came out, Li Rong felt complicated. She said that she was born in the royal family, and intrigues were inevitable, and she really didn't want Su Rongqing to be involved in it. However, Su Rongqing did not make a statement, and silently retreated behind the screen, no longer disturbing her in reading the accounts. Occasionally, she would observe Li Rong through the candlelight, and draw a sketch of her profile, with a smile inadvertently appearing on her lips.

During this period, Li Rong sent people to pay close attention to the goings-on in Tuoba Yan Mansion and inquired about Li Chuan's trip to Jiulu Mountain every day. Soon, Li Rong cleared up the process and amount of military pay allocated by the Ministry of War to Yang, and finally caught Tuoba Yan one night and proposed terms of cooperation. As long as Tuoba Yan is willing to serve as a witness, the Princess Mansion will protect his family.

Combining the Ministry of War accounts, Tuoba Yan's confession, and stolen private accounts, the evidence that the Yang family embezzled military pay is basically complete. After Li Rong finished these things, he went to the Ministry of Punishment in person to choose a cell next to Pei Wenxuan. After a little decoration, it was quite comfortable. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, they seemed to be supporting each other and going through difficult times together. loving couple.

On the other side, Li Chuan waited for several days without seeing Qin Lin, and his mood became extremely bad. However, he met Qin Zhenzhen, the daughter of the Qin family, by the waterfall. Although the two did not know each other before, Li Chuan fell in love with Qin Zhenzhen at first sight, and love sprouted in the process of getting along. Qin Zhenzhen guessed Li Chuan's identity, told him his name truthfully, and was willing to put in a good word for him in front of his brother. However, Qin Lin had other ideas and felt that his sister was too naive.

Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan quarreled with each other in the cell, mocking him for being broken off by the Qin family, but he insisted that breaking off the engagement was not Qin Zhenzhen's intention. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chuan brought Qin Zhenzhen to the prison. Li Rong was surprised and felt bad, so she used the excuse of watching a movie to eavesdrop on the conversation.

It turned out that Qin Zhenzhen had always treated Pei Wenxuan like an elder brother, and had no love between a man and a woman, and she had entrusted someone to handle the divorce. Hearing this, Li Rong couldn't hold it back and finally laughed out loud. Qin Zhenzhen turned back to look at Li Rong, and suddenly remembered that he was on business. He bluntly said that his brother was embarrassing the prince to explore his character, and he had no intention of rejecting him.

When Li Chuan and Qin Zhenzhen were about to leave, Li Rong especially told Li Chuan that his father would most likely arrange to go to the northwest to supervise the battle tomorrow morning. He would have to find excuses to shirk the responsibility, and he must not agree immediately and conceal Qin Lin's intention to go to the front line. information. When only Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were left in the cell, Li Rong felt worried, fearing that Qin Zhenzhen and Li Chuan would meet too soon, and everything was unknown.
