Chapter 114: Counterattack

Pei Wenxuan thought clearly, in fact, for Li Ming, the ultimate goal of everything he did was to test.
He is suspicious of Pei Wenxuan's loyalty, and if Pei Wenxuan follows his temptation and Li Ming wants to reconcile, he reconciles, then Li Ming is suspicious anyway.
And it is better to oppose the offense and defensively.
"what do you mean?"
Li Ming frowned: "You want to reconcile with Pingle? What's wrong with my daughter, you want to reconcile with her?!"
Li Ming became more angry as he spoke, raised his hand to pat the table, and shouted, "Pei Wenxuan, you are so bold!"
Hearing what Li Ming said, Pei Wenxuan hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty calms down, but Wenxuan... Wenxuan also..."
As Pei Wenxuan said, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, so he straightened up and pulled the official uniform away, revealing the traces of his body.
Pei Wenxuan's tooth prints and scratches were almost seen on the shoulders, and everyone took a breath. Li Ming couldn't help but stunned: "This is?"
"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan showed grief and anger, "the princess did it last night."
When Li Ming heard this, he was a little embarrassed for a while, he couldn't help but follow Pei Wenxuan's words: "Why are you fighting? It's so serious." Then, Li Ming remembered, "You didn't Hit her?"
"His Royal Highness Jinzhiyuye, the minister dare not."
Hearing what Li Ming said, Pei Wenxuan's face became colder. Li Ming knew that Li Rong was not wronged, so he relaxed, "What's the matter, let's talk about it?"
"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan said, first took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, "this matter still needs to start with this piece of talisman paper. His Royal Highness came back from the palace last night, and the Weichen went to pick her up. As a result, after arriving at the gate of the palace, His Royal Highness handed me the talisman paper, saying how I could write spells casually outside, and almost caused her to follow the way of Concubine Roux."
Hearing this, Li Ming frowned, but he did not stop Pei Wenxuan, so he asked Pei Wenxuan to continue: "After reading the talisman, the Wei Chen was convinced that this was not Wei Chen's handwriting."
"You didn't write this?" Li Ming asked seriously, and Pei Wenxuan shook his head, "Your Majesty can ask the master to come and identify it. This is not the handwriting of the Weichen. Your Majesty should know that this spell is extremely difficult to find, and the Weichen is busy on official business. Where is the time to do this kind of thing?"
Li Ming didn't speak, but only asked people to take the talisman over and whispered: "Go to check."
After speaking, Li Ming turned his head and looked at Pei Wenxuan: "Since the talisman paper is fake, why does Pingle say it is true? You also said it was the temple you went to together?"
Concubine Rou accuses Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan of contacting Master Hongde privately to lie to Li Chuan so that he does not get married. For this, he took out the talisman paper as evidence to prove that Pei Wenxuan had contacted Master Hongde. Li Rong explained that although this piece of talisman paper was real, it was obtained from the temple, in order to refute Master Hongde's lying.
But if this piece of talisman paper is fake at all, why didn't Li Rong just say it was fake? Or does it mean that Li Rong retorted for the sake of rebutting, in fact, did he contact Master Hongde privately to postpone the marriage for Li Chuan?
Li Ming thought to himself, Pei Wenxuan respectfully said: "Your Majesty, don't you think why this talisman is fake, and the princess admits it, why not guess why Master Hongde came up with a fake marriage talisman that I wrote, To prove that the princess put pressure on Master Hongde for the prince?"
"Even if the marriage talisman is written by me, it can neither prove that the princess and Master Hongde have met, nor can it prove that the princess has asked Master Hongde for the prince. This talisman, whether the princess recognizes it or not, can prove nothing. , And why does Hongde say that?"
Li Ming didn't move his face when he heard this, but his heart suddenly reacted.
Marriage fake talisman can't prove anything at all. Hongde made an extra effort to give this talisman what to do?
"In fact, there are many things that your Majesty has already concluded in his mind, so there is no need to say more. This point is clear to the princess and the ministers."
For example, he suspected that Li Rong and Li Chuan had already subconsciously determined that Li Rong would help Li Chuan speak in front of Master Hongde, so he did not notice at all. This spell appeared too unreasonable, and there is no substantive evidence to prove it. This matter.
Now that Li Rong knew about this, she was naturally flustered, and it was possible to subconsciously refute all the evidence when facing the accusation.
Li Ming heard what Pei Wenxuan meant. Although he did not directly explain why Li Rong lied, he had asked Li Ming to guess the reason.
"Since the Weichen was brought to the position of the assistant minister, the Weichen and the princess have been walking on thin ice, being careful everywhere, fearing that they would do something wrong when they were caught."
"The family doesn’t like it, the prince resents, and I don’t know who it is behind me. First, I put the princess and me on the fire with the position of the staff officer, and then framed me with Master Hongde. Now I will issue a fake spell. Your Highness and me Although they don't know exactly what Hongde meant, they must be doing what they are going to do. So the Weichen was anxious, and was agitated for a while, so he accused His Royal Highness of being presumptuous. You can't talk nonsense about what you don't know."
"And these days, your Highness has long been dissatisfied with the ministers. Because the ministers came from a poor family and the official journey was not smooth, His Royal Highness was often criticized among the princess courtiers. The minister suggested that the princess should establish a supervisory department to share her concerns. The courtiers were dissatisfied with His Royal Highness a lot, and the prince and His Royal Highness were also dissatisfied, and the Queen was even more disgusted with His Royal Highness. Therefore, last night... His Royal Highness and the Welcomer could not help but argue."
"His Royal Highness was angry and said that the lowly ministers were humble, not even as good as the actors in the Nanfeng Pavilion, so he took the actors to spend the night on a boat trip, and the ministers abducted His Highness in a hurry. He wanted to persuade him, but don’t beat and scold him. "Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan straightened up, with grief and anger on his face, "Weichen was born in a poor family and is also a seven-foot man. Even if His Royal Highness is a princess, how can he humiliate the Weichen like this? His Majesty’s order, the loyalty of his servants, his arrogant and arrogant and rude and even secretly promised others in his heart, these matters can be endured by the ministers one by one, the ministers ask themselves, be the husband and the minister, and he has not exceeded the slightest. Flower boat night tour, call dozens..."
Pei Wenxuan couldn't say anything for a while, he took a deep breath, knelt down, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows he is guilty, and he has betrayed Jun En Haoze, but please see his father's loyal service for half his life and the minister. For the sake of loyalty, let the Weichen and His Highness reconcile..."
Pei Wenxuan's voice was hoarse, almost about to cry: "Weichen really can't make it through..."
Pei Wenxuan's remarks made Li Ming speechless for a while.
As a man, how could Li Ming not understand the humiliation in Pei Wenxuan's heart?
Even if Pei Wenxuan wanted to show him a play, he couldn't make Li Rong call so many actors...
Li Ming thought carefully about Pei Wenxuan's words, and he couldn't help but think about it differently.
In fact, Pei Wenxuan's words awakened him. From the staff officer to the current Master Hongde, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan seemed to be sweetened by him, so he has always doubted the loyalty of Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan.
But what if you think about it instead? If the staff of the staff to the Master Hongde are all designed by others, what are they designing?
If you didn’t know before, now this rune comes out, don’t you know?
A rune that couldn't prove the relationship between Li Rong and the prince was taken out by them and tricked Li Rong into admitting it. Finally, they told him that it was an excellent marriage symbol representing their husband and wife relationship.
The purpose of the staff minister is to make him worry about Li Rong's power.
The matter of Master Hongde made him worry about the relationship between Li Rong and Li Chuan.
The rune matter made him worry that Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong were united in their hearts. Why were they worried about their unity? Because deep in his heart, he was already worried that Li Rong was too powerful and colluded with Li Chuan. Now Pei Wenxuan and his wife are one mind, what's the matter?
Thinking about it this way, the other party is really struggling every step, and it is not Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan who are calculating, but him!
Li Ming's heart was turbulent, but his face remained unchanged.
After all, this is what Pei Wenxuan's family said, and he couldn't believe it all, so he followed Pei Wenxuan's words: "You say this, Rongrong is indeed too arrogant. Since you have the heart to leave, I don't want to force it. You go back first. How about the purpose?"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan became excited and respectfully said: "Thank your majesty! Your majesty Shengming!"
Li Ming looked at the secretly happy appearance of Pei Wenxuan, with mixed feelings in his heart. After all, Li Rong was still his daughter. He was a little bit disgusted by others. He waved his hand and said calmly, "Go on."
After Pei Wenxuan respectfully saluted, he retreated.
When he walked out of the imperial study room, the little followed him and escorted him out. Pei Wenxuan walked out with a cold face. When he came out, he whispered: "Let your majesty check how Master Hongde enters the palace."
The little didn't speak, but he obviously heard it.
After sending Pei Wenxuan out of the palace gate, the little hurriedly turned back.
When Pei Wenxuan returned to the official office from the imperial study, the young man in the Su clan held a scroll in one hand and a chess set in the other.
There was a woman kneeling beside him, the other person's kneeling posture used the courtesy of the palace, seemingly calm, but her eyes were a little uneasy.
"Niang Niang said, that charm is fake and was taken out by His Highness Pingle. What if they use it for verification?"
The maid was a little panicked: "Now Hongde has also been taken away, my lord, if he talks nonsense, it will be his wife."
"He didn't have a chance to talk nonsense, let the empress rest assured." The young man played the chess, his expression was calm, and the maid knew what the other party meant when she heard the words. She felt a little calm in her heart, but still said: "What about the spell?"
"Since the princess has recognized it, what if it is found to be false? If they tell your majesty that the princess lied, why did the princess lie? Your majesty is still suspicious, and will definitely go to test Pei Wenxuan and the princess. It is impossible for Pei Wenxuan to pass His Majesty's temptation."
"Is your lord so sure?" The handmaid frowned, "It is not impossible for Pei Wenxuan to agree and leave."
"He can't agree."
The young man put down his scroll and began to tidy up the chessboard, his voice softened: "He doesn't dare, can't, and doesn't want to."
"What if he agrees?" The maid insisted on asking, and the young man paused slightly. After a long time, he frowned: "Then he deserves to die."
"Those who betray your Highness," the young man's voice was so soft that it was so soft that no one could hear him. He gently raised his head and watched the early spring butterflies fall into the courtyard. His desolate eyes were a bit of mockery, "Damn it all."
