After Li Rong finished talking with Pei Wenxuan, she went back to the princess's residence by herself. When she lay on the bed in the princess's residence, she seemed to be lost.

Without Pei Wenxuan by her side and without having to go to court tomorrow, she felt empty inside.

She opened her hands in the air and looked at her slender palms. She suddenly felt that Shangguan Xu was right.

As the daughter of the Shangguan family, it seemed that she was born to hold power. Without power, she felt lost and empty as if she had lost her way forward.

She is completely different from Li Chuan. As the crown prince, every step Li Chuan takes seems to be based on his responsibility to the people around him. As the crown prince, he has been responsible for the lives of many people since he was born, so he has to fight and move forward.

But every step she takes is based on her deep desire for power.

She loved the feeling of control and choice, and deep down, she also loved the passion for these adventures.

So on such a peaceful night, she was a little at a loss for a moment.

She tossed and turned in the night for a long time. Afterwards, she got up and went to the closet, where she took out a piece of Pei Wenxuan's clothing. After holding the clothing in her arms, she finally felt a little at ease and fell asleep holding the clothing in her arms.

She slept until the morning court session and woke up on time. Just as she was about to ask someone to help her get up, she remembered that she didn't have to go to court.

After the Inspection Office was handed over, the court had nothing to do with her, so she only needed to stay in the dark.

Li Rong was stunned for a moment, buried her head with the quilt, and fell asleep again.

She slept until noon, and then she got up to eat. Jinglan helped her get up and said with a smile, "Your Highness didn't attend the court, and you look much less energetic."

"My husband is gone, my career is gone," Li Rong sighed, "where is the spirit?"

Jingmei was amused by Li Rong, and pulled Li Rong's clothes, smiling and saying, "Your Highness misses your lover so much, why don't you go to the new house tonight?"

Li Rong glanced at her leisurely. Jingmei's heart skipped a beat. Just when she thought Li Rong was going to scold her, she heard Li Rong say, "That's exactly what I want."

Li Rong had breakfast and rested in the yard for a while. Then Zhao Chongjiu came back with news from the court.

"Today, His Majesty has promoted Lord Pei to be the chief examiner of the imperial examinations. Lord Pei is fully responsible for the imperial examinations. He has also asked Prince Su to formally take over the Supervision Department, assisted by Concubine Rou, to thoroughly investigate the case of cheating in the imperial examinations."

Li Rong nodded. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is Minister Su?"

"Minister Su has requested to supervise this imperial examination."

"Inspector?" Li Rong laughed. "He is not restrained at all now. What about Cui Yulang?"

"He asked me to tell him that Concubine Rou had rewarded him today and asked him to help her and do a good job."

When Li Rong heard this, she knew that Concubine Rou had begun to completely trust Cui Yulang.

This is not surprising.

She had worked with Su Rongqing for such a long time, but not only did she get nothing, she was also demoted from the position of noble concubine to the position of concubine. After working with Cui Yulang for such a short time, not only did she regain her position as concubine, but she also helped Li Cheng obtain the Inspection Office. In addition, Cui Yulang was from a poor family, so how could she not trust him more?

Li Rong nodded and said, "Let Cui Yulang stay here and have someone keep an eye on him. Remember to come to me at a fixed time to get the medicine."

Zhao Chongjiu responded, and Li Rong asked about the harvest of his fiefdom and the situation in the northwest this year.

"Lord Xun would like to ask the princess a favor this time."

Li Rong raised her eyes, and Zhao Chongjiu whispered, "Lord Xun wants the princess to secretly ask for a temporary conscription order for Qin Lin."

"What's that?"

Li Rong tapped her palm lightly with her fan. Zhao Chongjiu raised his hand and handed over the letter sent by Xun Chuan. Li Rong took a quick glance at it and understood what Xun Chuan meant.

Last year, there was a war in the northwest, and the cities on the front line had almost no crops. This year, the cities had no food, so they had to rely on the court for relief. But the court's money was divided up layer by layer in the northwest, and when it came to Qin Lin, there was little left, and the military pay was barely enough, and disaster relief was even more difficult.

On the one hand, Qin Lin couldn't bear it, but on the other hand, he did lack soldiers. So Cui Qinghe suggested that Qin Lin take the people in the city into the camp to support the war.

The able-bodied men were conscripted into the army, and the remaining old, weak, women and children were given land to farm. When the war in the north was expected to break out again this autumn, they would be able to fight.

It was naturally against the rules for him to do this, but Qin Lin thought that after doing this, the major families in the north would not have to give him too much military pay, and he would not have to go to the battlefield to feed his soldiers and horses. Therefore, all the officials in the northwest would be happy to see it happen and would not expose Qin Lin, so Qin Lin had already done it in private.

But this is a violation of the law after all, and to put it in a bigger way, it is privately stationing troops, so Xun Chuan specially gave Li Rong a letter, asking Li Rong to ask for a conscription order on behalf of Qin Lin. On weekdays, it is fine, but if something really happens, the conscription order can be brought out, and it can be regarded as Qin Lin's conscription.

When Li Rong saw the letter, she couldn't help but gasp.

Qin Lin was a talented general, but his biggest problem was that he was too arbitrary and domineering.

Such a general is a hero in troubled times, but he is also the most troublesome existence for the monarch in peaceful and prosperous times. If Xun Chuan hadn't brought this matter back, what would have happened in the future? Li Rong had already thought of it immediately.

Those noble families are silent now because they need Qin Lin. But when they need him, it will be a death warrant for Qin Lin. What is more terrifying is not Qin Lin himself, but the military pay for Qin Lin's troops, part of which was sent by her.

Qin Lin secretly stationed troops and she supplied the military pay. She was also the eldest sister of the crown prince. If this crime was brought down on her, she would be punished even by death a thousand times.

Li Rong calmed herself down and knew that she must get the conscription order for Qin Lin.

The more soldiers Qin Lin had after getting the conscription order, the more stable Li Chuan's position would be when he ascended the throne.

But how could she get such a thing for Qin Lin?

The conscription order is a special military order of Daxia. During special periods, generals can recruit soldiers on the spot in the garrison city according to this order.

The king was very cautious when giving such things. How could she get Li Ming to secretly give a secret conscription order to Qin Lin?

Li Rong was just thinking when she heard a commotion outside. A moment later, a maid rushed in from outside the courtyard and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, His Highness Hua Le brought people from the Inspection Department and rushed over to seal the Princess's mansion."

Hearing this, Li Rong was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she laughed incredulously: "Hua Le, brought the Inspection Department to seal my mansion?"

She understood each of these words individually, but when they were put together, she actually found them somewhat funny.

Before she could leave, she heard Hua Le's familiar voice coming from outside, with a hint of arrogance that was not usually there: "Sister Ping Le."

Li Rong looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hua Le, dressed in a gorgeous gown with golden threads, coming out from the corner. Behind her was a group of former staff members from the Inspection Department. There were also some new faces among them. They must be the newcomers who joined the Inspection Department after Concubine Rou reorganized it.

Li Rong raised her eyebrows and watched Hua Le walk up to her. She bowed to her and said, "My sister is under the order of the King Su to come to my sister's residence to investigate a case."

"Investigate a case?" Li Rong asked with a hint of amusement. "What case do you want to investigate?"

"Sister, do you still remember Chen Houzhao?"

"I remember," Li Rong heard and knew what Hua Le came for. She couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't he come to the Inspection Department to complain a few days ago?"

"He's missing."

Hua Le observed Li Rong, who looked surprised: "Missing?"

"Yes, he left Huajing on the day he complained to my sister. Then his ship sank and he disappeared."

"Like this."

Li Rong nodded, then she remembered, "Then you should go to him, why are you looking for me?"

"His Highness Prince Su suspects that it was my sister who killed this person. So I ask my sister to cooperate and go to the Inspection Office."

Li Rong didn't say anything, she just looked at Hua Le with a smile.

Hua Le saw that Li Rong's expression did not change after hearing these words. She didn't know why, but she felt a little short of breath. She forced herself to meet Li Rong's gaze and said, "Sister, are you still going to resist arrest?"

"I'm not resisting arrest. I just want to ask my sister a few questions."

Li Rong tapped her palm with a small fan: "I am a princess of the current dynasty, a royal relative. You want to arrest me, do you have any evidence in this case?"

"How can we get evidence if we don't interrogate you?" Hua Le frowned. "Don't you know how you handled cases in the Inspection Department?"

"When I handle cases, I always have to present evidence. For those with lower ranks than me, I can ask them to go to the Inspection Department. But for those with higher ranks than me, I have to ask them if they are willing. This is your first time working in the court, so I'm afraid you are not familiar with the court rules, Jinglan."

Li Rong turned around and told Jinglan, "Go inside and get the Inspectorate's Code of Conduct. Bring it back to His Highness Hua Le and have him read it carefully."

Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, then went to get the Inspectorate's Rules.

Hua Le was immediately furious after being scolded by Li Rong. She raised her voice and said loudly, "Stop talking nonsense! The Inspection Department is investigating a case. You are a suspect, but you don't want to go with me for questioning. You are also making excuses. Are you guilty?!"

When Li Rong heard Hua Le's words, her eyes turned cold, but she still had a smile on her face. She said, "Sister, you may have forgotten the hierarchy in the palace after entering the court. I am your elder sister, and you are so rude to me?"

"I am now helping Wang with his case..."

"I know more about the Inspection Department than you do!" Li Rong said abruptly, "If you don't have evidence, get out!"

"Li Rong, you..."

"Fork it out!"

Li Rong waved her fan and turned to leave. Hua Le was anxious and hurriedly led people to catch Li Rong. The guards of the princess's mansion immediately rushed forward, and the two sides blocked each other. Hua Le shouted, "Ping Le, don't leave!"

Li Rong went up the stairs and turned around when she heard Hua Le cursing.

Feng raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Hua Le who was shouting and cursing at the soldiers from the Inspection Department to arrest her in the crowd. She laughed and was about to make a sarcastic remark when she suddenly realized something -

The conscription order is here.
