Chapter 91: Keep the contract

Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan saying that it was a pity, and she kept laughing. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and raised her hand, saying, "It's not like you said this, I still have something to do."
"What else is your Highness going to do?"
"Of course I went to see Lin Feibai."
Li Rong said, turning her head to look at Pei Wenxuan: "Now Xie Lanqing is gone, your uncle is in the Criminal Ministry, can you talk?"
Pei Wenxuan raised his hand to salute: "Listen to His Highness's instructions."
The two went out of the palace gate together. Pei Wenxuan first sent people to find Pei Liming. When they arrived at the Criminal Ministry, Pei Liming was already standing at the door. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan got out of the carriage together. Pei Wenxuan happily stepped forward and respectfully said :"uncle."
Pei Liming first saluted Li Rong: "Your Highness."
Then he turned his head and nodded towards Pei Wenxuan: "You came very quickly?"
"Your Royal Highness is in a hurry." Pei Wenxuan lowered his voice, "Are people here now?"
"Already waiting at the Criminal Department, and Miss Shangguan is also here."
"Shangguanya is here too?"
Pei Wenxuan was quite surprised, Pei Liming nodded: "I put it in."
As he said, Pei Liming raised his hand to look at Li Rong, and bowed respectfully: "His Royal Highness, please."
Li Rong nodded, "Shi Lang Pei is polite."
"It should be."
When Pei Liming said, he led Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan to walk in. When they arrived at the door, they saw Shangguanya sitting in front of the prison. She grabbed a handful of peanuts in her hand, tilted her legs, and looked at leisurely. Lin Feibai inside.
Lin Feibai sat on the bed in the cell with her back facing Shangguanya. As soon as Li Rong came in, Shangguanya stood up: "Your Highness."
When Lin Feibai heard this, his ears moved. After Li Rong walked in, Pei Liming said with interest: "Your Majesty, the humble position will lead the way here. You can stay here for half an hour, but the sooner you ask, the better, so as not to Many people talk."
"Understand," Li Rong owed to Pei Liming, "Thank you, Shi Lang."
"I'll send it to my uncle."
As Pei Wenxuan said, he sent Pei Liming out, leaving Li Rong, Shangguanya, and Lin Feibai in prison. Shangguanya quickly moved Li Rong a stool: "Your Highness, sit down."
"Why are you here?"
Li Rong was a little curious, and Shangguan Ya laughed: "I guessed that your Royal Highness will come to examine Lin Feibai now, so I came here early. I was already very curious in my heart, and I just waited for Your Highness to solve my doubts."
"Solve any confusion?" Li Rong took the tea from Shangguanya and looked at Lin Feibai. "Can you not tell you any confusion?"
"I asked," Shangguanya sighed. "He has a hard mouth. He hasn't said a word yet."
Li Rong smiled. She put the tea aside, leaned on the stool, and said gently: "Master Lin, do you have anything to ask me?"
Lin Feibai turned his back to Li Rong. He was silent. Li Rong waited patiently. After a long time, Lin Feibai finally said, "My mother never told me about him."
Lin Feibai’s voice was a little dumb: "She only said that my father was dead, that my father had let her down, and threw her at Qin Qushan. I hated my father with her since I was a child. I always thought that he was not a good man. , He abandoned my mother."
"What don't you understand?" Li Rong tapped her hand lightly with a fan.
"She died two years ago."
"Hall Master Seven Stars died two years ago?" Shangguanya was a little surprised. Lin Feibai ignored her and continued in a low voice. "Two years ago, she was holding this necklace at the last moment. She said she wanted Seeing the owner of this necklace, she has already sent someone to inform that person, and she will wait for him."
"She asked me to go to the mountain gate and wait. From the mountain gate, I can see the people on the mountain road. I can see that person coming over for the first time. That person will wear black clothes. If he comes, let me tell her."
"I just stood at the mountain gate and waited. There was heavy snow that day, and I waited for a long time."
"I waited until the heavy snow fell all over my body, and until the morning light melted the snow and ice, I didn't wait for anyone to come. When I returned, she had already fallen asleep."
"She held this necklace until she died."
Lin Feibai raised his hand and held the necklace: "I thought this was her most important thing, so I left her. Before she died, she left me many requests, one of which was that she owed Xie Lanqing three things. The last thing is that she can't finish it, let me help her."
"So Xie Lanqing went to Qin Qushan to ask Seven Star Hall for help. I knew that being involved in this kind of thing would bring disaster to the Seven Star Hall, so I came anyway."
"But I don't understand."
Lin Feibai squeezed his fists: "This man, he insulted her and betrayed her, and never gave her a name in his life. She obviously hates him so much, why should I help him?!"
"Duplicate."
Shangguanya spoke directly, Lin Feibai did not respond to Shangguanya. He turned his head and stared at Li Rong: "You know why, right?"
"I don't know." Li Rong replied calmly, "All I know is that she wants you to live well."
"And I am not here today to answer your question, but to give you a chance."
"what chance?"
"A chance to survive." Li Rong straightened up and said slowly, "It's also a chance for revenge."
When Li Rong and Lin Feibai were talking, Pei Wenxuan sent Pei Liming to the door, and the surrounding guards were dismissed by them. Pei Liming sighed and said: "You are too reckless. You should have said this. ."
"I don't know that this thing will happen today," Pei Wenxuan smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness didn't tell me that he came too hastily. Your Majesty asked people temporarily, I can only pull my uncle out to help."
It was said that Pei Liming helped, but Pei Wenxuan and Pei Liming knew in their hearts that Xie Lanqing must now get down from the position of Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry. Whoever took over Xie Lanqing's case in the Criminal Ministry would suggest who would take the position of Shangshu.
Pei Liming has been in the position of the right servant for nearly ten years, and finally made it to his head, and the person who gave this opportunity is not Pei Lixian, who is held by the Pei family, but Pei Wenxuan. Pei Li didn't say anything on the face, but he gradually became concerned.
Although Pei Lixian's official position is not low, for so many years, he has not given much practical benefit to the family. Although Pei Wenxuan is young now, but his methods are very good, Li Rong is still standing behind him, plus his generous shots, and now he has directly passed the opportunity of promotion to Shangshu in his hands. How can Pei Liming not be happy?
He held his mind, waved his hand, only said: "They are all tribesmen, why bother to see the outsiders like this?"
"My uncle is right," Pei Wenxuan was gentle and polite, "I'm all from the tribe, and I will need to take care of them more comfortably in the future."
Pei Lixian laughed, and now he took the benefits of Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan not only didn't mention a word, but also gave steps to avoid losing his face. But within a few words, Pei Lixian already liked Pei Wenxuan very much and regretted it. I didn't pay much attention to this nephew.
After the two exchanged greetings, Pei Wenxuan retired and returned to prison. He heard Li Rong and Lin Feibai say: "You only need to tell the truth and don't hide it. Xie Lanqing should be punished as much as possible. This is enough. Even though you assassinated me, I will report like my father, saying that you will pay off and let him withdraw your punishment."
Hearing Li Rong's voice, Pei Wenxuan stood behind Li Rong, Lin Feibai's expression remained unchanged, and he only said, "His Royal Highness won't use me again, right?"
"Don't worry," Li Rong laughed, "I used you before because you wanted to use me. Now that you don't use me, I will naturally not take the initiative to use you."
"You Huajing people, I don't believe a word." Lin Feibai said coldly, Shangguanya sneered: "Then who do you believe?"
"But I am willing to identify Xie Lanqing."
After receiving this response, Li Rong also relaxed. This time, she really got Xie Shangshu's evidence and could kick him from a height.
Li Rong stood up, nodded and said: "If you are willing, then I will go first. I wish Young Master Lin an early release from prison."
As Li Rong said, she went out, Pei Wenxuan followed her, Shangguanya also followed Li Rong and walked out. After halfway, Shangguanya remembered something. She turned her head and took out a leaf card from her sleeve. He was put in jail, raised his chin, and calmly said: "Don't be too sad, play cards, and the days will pass quickly. There are so many happy things in this world. It's not guilty that you've ruined yourself for a few irrelevant popularity. height."
Lin Feibai ignored her, Shangguanya said, "I don't know good people."
After speaking, Shangguan Ya turned around and followed Li Rong: "Oh, your lord, wait for me, don't go so fast."
Shangguanya's voice walked away, and Lin Feibai hesitated for a moment before reaching the edge of the prison. He went deep in his hands and held the few leaf cards.
The leaf tiles were painted by Shangguanya herself. She inherited her painting skills from famous teachers and drew several leaf tiles. Not only was she exquisite, she also made a lot of innovations.
For example, putting a flower crown on the head of the samurai on the screen, or adding a birdcage to the literati hand, Lin Feibai quietly looked at it for a while, sneered with disdain, then put the leaf card away and carried it in his arms.
Shangguanya ran out after Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong turned to look at her: "What did you leave him?"
"A set of leaf cards," Shangguanya waved her hand, "lest he is bored."
"You are considerate." Li Rong laughed, Shangguanya a little embarrassed, "He also blames the poor."
"All right, where are you going now?"
"I'm going home, where's your Highness?"
"I'll go back to the princess mansion and see you off."
Li Rong said, and led Pei Wenxuan and Shangguanya into the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Pei Wenxuan poured tea for the two girls. Shangguanya sat aside, thought for a while, and finally said, "Your Majesty, do you guess why Lin Feibai’s mother is so contradictory? He taught Lin Feibai to hate Xie Lan Qingqing. For a lifetime, I let Lin Feibai help Xie Lanqing at the end. What is this picture?"
Li Rong smiled and looked up at Shangguanya: "Have you died?"
"How could I have died?" Shangguan Ya said in surprise, "His Royal Highness, no one has died in this world."
Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan smiled at each other, and Li Rong slowly said: "I guess Lin Feibai's mother hated Xie Lanqing for a lifetime, but it was because of love that she hated it. So before she died, she waited for him. .Wait, wait, wait until the last minute, it doesn’t really matter whether you come or not."
"When a person dies, it is not hate that is the most, but the last beauty in this life."
Li Rong laughed slowly: "Look, Lin Feibai's mother said that she owed Xie Lanqing three demands. In fact, I have heard this story. Back then, Xie Lanqing and Jianghu Xia woman Lin Xia met by chance. The two fell in love at first sight. Xie Lanqing rescued Lin. Xia, Lin Xia promised Xie Lanqing that he can meet his three requirements."
"Xie Lanqing's first request was for Lin Xia to stay with him."
Shangguanya was a little surprised: "Then Xie Shangshu was quite romantic in those days."
"Xie Lanqing's second request was to hope that Lin Xia would leave him. In fact, Lin Xia didn't have any clothes after Xie Lanqing. She and her junior sisters built the Seven Star Hall in Qinqu Mountain. Xie Lanqing knew about it, but she never saw her in her life."
"Maybe I heard that she has a child." Shangguanya thought for a while, "Think she has a new life?"
"These three requirements were their beginning. I think before Lin Xia died, what Xie Lanqing thought of should be good. She doesn't hate it. She hopes that this relationship can end in the most beautiful manner. And she doesn't hate it. After that, she will clearly realize that Lin Feibai is always Xie Lanqing’s son, and she hopes that Lin Feibai can have a good relationship with Xie Lanqing."
"In this way, I can probably understand one or two." Shangguanya nodded, "Lin Feibai, it's really pitiful."
"The poor are pitiful." Pei Wenxuan said at the right time, "he is pretty good."
Shangguanya nodded: "Indeed, the greatest sorrow in this world is poverty. God gives birth, old age, sickness and death, but poverty always doubts oneself."
"It's like being stuck in a spider web, but I always wonder if I didn't work hard enough, so I can't escape."
While the few people were talking, the carriage arrived at Shangguan's mansion. Shangguanya saluted the two and smiled: "See you tomorrow."
With that, Shangguanya jumped off the carriage. After there were only two people in the carriage, Pei Wenxuan turned his head and looked at Li Rong: "Actually, I'm very curious, what did you see before you died?"
"how about you?"
Li Rong raised his eyebrows, and Pei Wenxuan thought about it, and said slowly: "It was the Chinese New Year. I celebrated the New Year with you. When the fireworks were set off, we were standing on the promenade together. You call my name to make me look back."
As Pei Wenxuan said, he laughed: "As soon as I turned around, you stood on tiptoes, held my face and kissed him."
"Then you ask me if I can watch the fireworks with you every year."
"I promised." Pei Wenxuan bowed his head and held a cup of bitter tea, "Unfortunately you broke the contract."
"Watch it again this year."
Li Rong suddenly spoke, Pei Wenxuan raised his head, a little surprised, Li Rong turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "I will watch the fireworks with you this year. Pei Wenxuan, you promise me one thing," Li Rong said Then, leaning forward, Pei Wenxuan looked down at her: "What?"
"In this life, the promise we made to each other is either not to speak, or to keep the promise to the end, okay?"
"Okay." Pei Wenxuan laughed and said dumbly, "No one should break the contract."
"Hook?" Li Rong raised her little finger. Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong's appearance and thought she was naive, but because it was Li Rong, she became cute too.
He raised his hand and raised Li Rong's little finger.
"One hundred years, no change."
