"That's great."

Pei Wenxuan smiled and nodded as a greeting. Then the two of them held their golf clubs behind them like swords and walked away with their backs to each other. When Pei Wenxuan passed by Xie Chunhe, he smelled a very light, almost imperceptible fragrance from him.

The fragrance made Pei Wenxuan pause. He couldn't help but look back at Xie Chunhe. Xie Chunhe was quite surprised to see him stop. He smiled and asked, "Master Pei, is there anything wrong?"

Pei Wenxuan glanced at Xie Chunhe, his eyes fell on Xie Chunhe's waist: "Master Xie, you are wearing this sachet today, it's very unique."

"You mean this?" Xie Chunhe lowered his head and looked at the sachet on his waist. He smiled and said, "I met a sorcerer on the road today who gave it to me. He said it can eliminate disasters and bring peace."

Pei Wenxuan laughed when he heard this: "I see. I just thought this sachet looked pretty. I still have to play ball. I'll talk to Master Xie about it when I get back."

Having said that, Pei Wenxuan bowed and walked out.

After waiting for a while, Su Rongqing and Pei Wenxuan rode out.

"Su Rongqing is here."

Shangguan Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Li Rong tapped her palms with a small fan and looked at Su Ronghua who was being helped away not far away. She then looked at Shangguan Ya who was deliberately staring at the competition and refused to move her eyes. She thought for a moment, coughed lightly, and ordered, "Go and see Master Su."

"No."

Shangguan Ya refused outright: "Your Highness, please do not let your emotions get the better of you at this time."

"Everything has been arranged now," Li Rong watched Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing change their clothes, mount their horses and return to the stadium, and slowly spoke, "You stay here to watch the polo, go see him, what are you waiting for?"

Shangguan Ya sat upright and said nothing. Li Rong tilted her head and said, "If you don't explain it to him, he won't be satisfied. Aya, he is the eldest son of the Su family after all. No matter how dissolute he is," Li Rong emphasized every word, "he is still the eldest son of the Su family."

The Su family is such a huge and powerful family that has dominated Daxia for hundreds of years and has not lost any of its power even after the change of dynasties. Even if the eldest son is a dissolute and presumptuous person, Li Ming will look up to him and take the trouble to win him over.

"If you don't handle it properly," Li Rong said calmly as the two teams clashed on the court. "That would be you just escaping and acting on your emotions."

Shangguan Ya pursed her lips, and after a moment, she stood up and said respectfully, "Yes."

After saying that, Shangguan Ya stood up and left. At that moment, the crowd cheered. Li Rong raised her eyes slightly and saw Pei Wenxuan on the court, holding the reins with one hand, hanging on the side of the horse, as if he was about to fall off. He crossed Su Rongqing's club, raised his hand and made a beautiful shot, and the polo ball passed the hole. The cheers that had not been retracted before turned into cheers!

Li Chuan was about to drink tea from his cup when he heard the noise. He immediately looked up and exclaimed in surprise: "So fast?!"

The first half was a stalemate for such a long time, but unexpectedly, Pei Wenxuan scored a goal as soon as he came on the court in the second half.

Li Rong said nothing. She watched the young man on the court ride his horse back to the serving position. The young man seemed to notice her gaze and turned around in the crowd. From a distance, his face seemed to be shining, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.

There was a hint of provocation and arrogance in that smile, as if he was seeking credit.

Li Rong's secretly clenched hand could not help but relax a little. She remained calm and expressionless, and said slowly: "When he was in the academy, he was the best in everything."

The upbringing of the children of the Daxia noble families is not just about studying.

Culture can stabilize a country, and military power can ensure the safety of a nation.

He has the ambition to support the country and also has the elegance of adjusting perfume and playing the zither.

These young people, who were nurtured with the best resources in Daxia, were given countless expectations.

Even polo matches require hard work.

The referee started the game again and threw the ball up. Before it hit the ground, Su Rongqing's club spun out instantly and flew towards the goal of Pei Wenxuan's team. He used great force and it seemed that he was about to fly off the court. However, before everyone could react, he nimbly bypassed several people's defenses, chased the ball, raised his hand and hit another stroke, changing the direction of the ball.

Getting Started!

"This Su Rongqing is not bad," Li Chuan listened to the thunderous cheers from the entire stadium, peeled an orange with interest, put a slice of orange into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I heard that he used to be the number one in their college? Are all the number one players so good at playing basketball?"

"How dare you say that?" Li Rong raised her fan and pointed at the competition venue. "You haven't learned as much as they have. Not only are you not the best in all the six arts of a gentleman, you can't even write a good article. Wait until your brother-in-law comes back..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Li Chuan quickly raised his hand to stop Li Rong's nagging, "Sister, watch the game, look at the court quickly, two such good-looking men playing, aren't you happy?"

Li Rong sneered, did not embarrass him, and turned to look at the court.

In stark contrast to the stalemate in the first half where no goal was scored, the two players in the second half were both extremely skilled in attacking on the polo field.

The scores kept catching up, and even Li Ming couldn't help but applaud frequently. He turned around and said happily to Shangguan Yue: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a beautiful game. It's wonderful!"

The whole audience's attention was attracted by the two people on the court. Li Rong casually glanced at Xie Chunhe who was sitting next to her and concentrating on watching the game.

Xie Chunhe's entire gaze was fixed on the court, not paying any attention to the actions of the servant next to him. Seeing that everyone's attention was distracted, Li Rong felt relieved, turned around, and as another goal was scored, she raised her hands and clapped softly.

"I thought that Lord Su would not play." Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and hit the ball out. Su Rongqing walked side by side with him and chased the ball together.

"Since Lord Pei has already taken the stage, why shouldn't I dare?"

"Lord Su is very confident," Pei Wenxuan smiled and glanced at him, "I wonder if Lord Su knows what I am going to do?"

"You want to kill Xie Chunhe." Su Rongqing raised his hand and shot, scoring a goal!

The two men rode back, and Pei Wenxuan understood: "It seems that His Majesty has given you the message to let Su Shi let Xiao Su pass through the border."

Su Rongqing knew in advance that Xiao Su was going to Beijing. Xiao Su passed through two areas, one belonging to the Su family and the other to the Xie family. At this time, Lu Feibai went to Beijing, it must be to seize the control of the Xie family and cut off Xiao Su's route to Beijing.

In order to seize control of the Xie family, Xie Chun must die.

The ball was thrown again, and this time Pei Wenxuan took the lead: "Then do you know how I'm going to kill him?"

Su Rongqing rushed in front of Pei Wenxuan and hit the ball far away in time, saying in a calm voice: "Lady Xiang, today you will add the medicine to the tea to make him poisonous."

"So you temporarily replaced Xie Chunhe's tea boy to ensure that his tea was brewed separately from the tea leaves to the tea sets."

Pei Wenxuan smiled, and Su Rongqing realized something in an instant, and raised his eyes suddenly: "Water!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Wenxuan hit the ball into the hole, raised his eyes and smiled softly: "Today's cakes are a bit salty, Xie Chunhe always loves snacks, so it's inevitable that she will be thirsty. I'm afraid the water you brought is not enough."

"ah!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd. Li Rong looked up and saw Xie Chunhe suddenly fell down.

While the competition was fierce on the field, Shangguan Ya found the tent where Su Ronghua was resting. She asked someone to inform everyone, then lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

After entering, she took a quick look and saw Su Ronghua lying on the bed, with a servant kneeling beside him, bandaging his hand.

"Is the eldest son okay?"

Shangguan Ya walked into the room with a smile and sat down. Su Ronghua didn't say anything. He glanced at her indifferently and then looked away.

The servant came in and poured tea for Shangguan Ya. Shangguan Ya took a sip of the tea. Su Ronghua waited for a while and said softly, "What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Su Ronghua taunted, "Could it be that I have ruined the young lady's good deeds and you are here to punish me?"

"Hey," Shangguan Ya raised her eyes, "You also know that you ruined my business?"

Hearing this, Su Ronghua's eyes turned cold. He pulled his hand out of the servant's hand, waved his hand, and the servant retreated silently.

Shangguan Ya glanced at it and said nonchalantly: "I've always heard that the Su family is a century-old family with strict rules and regulations. It turns out that even a servant is so sensible."

As she spoke, she looked up at Su Ronghua: "I wonder why Master Su is so ignorant? We are good friends, but you ruined my marriage." Shangguan Ya brought the tea and smiled with a warning, "Isn't that a bit too disloyal?"

"friend?"

When Su Ronghua heard this, he looked up and chuckled.

"Shangguan Ya," Su Ronghua sighed. He lifted the quilt, stood up, landed barefoot on the carpet, and walked in front of her.

Shangguan Ya's expression remained unchanged. He bent down, resting his injured hands on the armrests of the chair, staring at Shangguan Ya's expression with a smile on his face: "Do you take me for a fool?"

"We have been together for so long, do you really think of me as a friend, and do you really think I think of you as a friend?"

Shangguan Ya didn't say anything. He leaned forward, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly, "I have never considered you a friend, and you have never considered me a friend either."

Shangguan Ya held on to the handrail tightly. Su Ronghua stepped back and distanced himself from her, with a playful look in his eyes: "At first you just wanted to use me, but what about later? Do you still dare to say you just wanted to use me?"

"Why not?"

"You used me so that you could apologize to me in prison? You used me so that you could come to the palace to pick me up when you knew I was going to take the blame for Rong Qing? You used me so that you could take me to see the sunrise, drink with me, and walk across most of Huajing City to go home after you knew Rong Qing and I had a conflict?"

"I just like to play around," Shangguan Ya said in a calm voice, "Young Master is too serious."

"Playing around?" Su Ronghua said sarcastically, "If you really only regard me as a playmate, I will never bother you, but Shangguan Ya," he stared at her, "look at me, say this again."

"Why not?" Shangguan Ya smiled and looked up. She stared at Su Ronghua and was about to say something harsh, "I will just..."

"I can give you the power you want."

Su Ronghua suddenly spoke, Shangguan Ya was stunned for a moment, Su Ronghua stared at her, rarely serious: "I know you want the Shangguan family, you want freedom, you want to always be the one in charge of the Shangguan family, I can ask to be expelled from the Su family, and the income will be given to you."

Shangguan Ya's eyes widened in shock, and seeing her reaction, Su Ronghua couldn't help laughing.

"After I marry into the family, you can always be the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family. I have my own business, which has been well managed in recent years and can provide food and grass. I have Lan County as my fiefdom, which was awarded by the late emperor in the early years. You can build an army there. If you and your brothers want to fight for the Shangguan family and you want the court to help, I can serve as an official. If you don't want me to serve as an official, I can also stay in the Shangguan family and assist you."

"Shangguan Ya," Su Ronghua slowly put away his smile and looked at her seriously, "I can give you whatever you want, and even more."

"I didn't propose marriage before because the current situation was not suitable. His Majesty is now eyeing your Shangguan family, and in order to divide the noble families, he asked me to be the teacher of Prince Su. The Su family is the chess piece in His Majesty's mind to balance the Shangguan family. If I propose marriage now, His Majesty will not agree. And you have just taken power in the Shangguan family for a short time. I can withstand the pressure of the Su family as a marriage, but you may not be able to withstand the Shangguan family. So I never said anything, not because I didn't mean to, but because I guessed that you should know that it is not appropriate yet."

"Then when is the right time?" Shangguan Ya asked sarcastically.

Su Ronghua heard this, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear: "After the crown prince ascended the throne."

"The crown prince ascends the throne?" Shangguan Ya sneered, "If the crown prince ascends the throne, how can your Su family survive? Don't you know what Su Rongqing is doing?"

"I know what Rong Qing is doing, but," Su Ronghua looked up at her, "did my father take action?"

Shangguan Ya was stunned for a moment. Su Ronghua stood up straight, clasping his hands in his sleeves. "Aya, no matter who ascends the throne, the Su family will be fine. The Su family has never been involved in the struggle for succession. When Your Majesty wanted to pull the Su family to support Prince Su, my family pushed me to be his teacher. In fact, it was just to use me, who is used to not seeking a career in politics, to fool Your Majesty."

"Rong Qing is now nothing more than a chess piece of your majesty. There are family rules, and he will stop when he gets the point. The prince has the support of the noble family, and Shangguan just needs to wait until your majesty passes away and the prince ascends the throne, and then you and I can get married. If you are willing, I will welcome you as my Su family's first lady in a sedan chair. If you are not willing, I will ask to be expelled from the Su family and give you the gift."

"Su Ronghua," Shangguan Ya smiled slowly after hearing this, "You really don't understand Su Rongqing at all."

Su Ronghua was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, there was a burst of exclamations from the stadium, as if there was some commotion.

Su Ronghua's face changed suddenly. He turned around, put on his shoes, and rushed out.

The game was nearing its end, with less than a quarter of a second left and the game was still tied. However, at this point, everyone's attention was no longer on the game.

Everyone carefully looked at Xie Chunhe who suddenly fell down. Li Chuan quickly stood up and rushed to the direction of Xie Chunhe to deal with him.

Li Rong followed Li Chuan quietly and came in front of Xie Chunhe.

Xie Chunhe's face turned blue, but it was not like Xiang Meiren vomiting blood when she had an attack.

Li Rong frowned. She moved closer and smelled a faint, yet very familiar scent.

She had a very deep impression of this smell. The last time she saw Pei Wenxuan in her previous life, he brought that smell with him when he entered the house.

Pei Wenxuan said that the sachet was given to him by Su Rongqing. Everyone around her was wearing it, but the sachet Pei Wenxuan wore had a strong scent, so she noticed it.

She was not a person who was sensitive to scents. Unlike Pei Wenxuan, a master of perfumery, she almost forgot the scents she had smelled.

But this scent was the last time she saw Pei Wenxuan and the most important clue of her death, so even after being reborn, she still remembered it tightly.

The scent of the beauty Pei Wenxuan used to assassinate Xie Chunhe should be this scent.

Li Rong took a step back without leaving a trace and watched the people around her hurriedly carry Xie Chunhe away.

The competition was still going on. Everyone in the audience was tired, but Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing were still sticking together.

"Second Master, if you don't score again," Pei Wenxuan and Su Rongqing chased the polo ball, and he said softly, "You will lose this game."

"Why do you think I'll score a goal?"

Su Rongqing used his club to block Pei Wenxuan's club. Pei Wenxuan rode his horse separately from Su Rongqing and passed the ball. The two sides hit the ball back and forth, passing each other repeatedly on the court.

"Xie Chunhe is not dead yet."

If someone had been poisoned by Xiang Meiren, it would be impossible for him to survive for so long.

While Pei Wenxuan was speaking, Xie Chunhe was carried into the tent. Li Rong watched the doctors surrounding him. She clasped her hands around her chest, leaned to one side, and secretly observed Xie Chunhe.

Why isn't he dead yet?

"After all, that was the poison my eldest brother found from a quack. If you can give it, I can cure it."

Su Rongqing snatched the polo ball from Pei Wenxuan and hit it into the hole with one shot.

Li Rong was in the tent, watching Xie Chunhe twitching slightly. The servant beside him pulled off the sachet from his waist, hurriedly fetched some tea from the side, poured all the contents of the sachet into the water, and quickly brought it to Xie Chunhe.

Seeing this, Li Rong rushed forward, grabbed the boy, and shouted, "What are you doing!"

After Li Rong scolded him like this, everyone turned around and stared at the boy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Chunhe spat out a mouthful of blood. Li Rong glanced at the sachet in the servant's hand, then turned back to look at Xie Chunhe whose condition was rapidly deteriorating, and instantly realized the function of the sachet!

It's not poison, it's an antidote, it's the antidote for Lady Xiang!

Her mind suddenly became a little confused. She didn't dare to think too deeply at this moment. She just held the servant's hand tightly. The servant begged bitterly: "Your Highness, there was a magician on the road today. He said that my son will have a great disaster today. He gave me this sachet and said that if something happens, put the sachet in tea, soak it and let the son drink it. Your Highness, now that something has happened, please let go. Human life is at stake!"

"Let me see," the doctor hurried forward, took out the herbs in the cup, looked at them, and nodded, "They are not important ingredients, let's try them first."

As he spoke, the doctor snatched the teacup and brought it directly to Xie Chunhe. He asked someone to hold Xie Chunhe and fed him the tea.

Li Rong stared at the scene blankly, and on the field, the first of the three final gongs to end the game sounded.

"Sure enough," Pei Wenxuan laughed, competing with Su Rongqing for the last ball, "You can cure Xiang Meiren. So the poison I used today is not Xiang Meiren's."

When Su Rongqing heard this, he knew something was wrong.

If Pei Wenxuan didn't poison Concubine Xiang, then where else could he have started?

All food must be tested for poison first, using living people for testing, except...

Su Rongqing suddenly closed his eyes——

Except medicine! Life-saving medicine!

No one will verify whether the life-saving medicine is poisonous at the critical moment.

The second gong sounded.

Li Rong watched Xie Chunhe drink the antidote in the cup sip by sip, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.

She suddenly realized that she needed an answer, the truth!

Pei Wenxuan's horse approached Su Rongqing's horse, and he stared at Su Rongqing: "So I have a question for you, Lord Su."

Su Rongqing didn't look back, his hands holding the reins were trembling slightly.

Pei Wenxuan hit the polo ball with his club, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air. Pei Wenxuan looked up at the polo ball and asked, "Is the sachet you gave me poison?" The third gong sounded, and Pei Wenxuan turned to look at Su Rongqing, "Or is it an antidote?"

Su Rongqing didn't say anything. He looked up and watched the polo ball slowly pass by and jump over the goal under the glow of the setting sun.

Inside the tent, Xie Chunhe spurted out a mouthful of black blood.

The doctor quickly held Xie Chunhe down and shouted, "Bring me the ginseng! Give me the silver needles!"

The crowd was in a panic, and a long sword stabbed towards Li Chuan from the crowd. At that moment, a fierce scream broke out in the tent. Li Chuan dodged the first sword and quickly retreated in front of Li Rong, holding the long sword in front of him. He and the guards surrounded Li Rong, dragged Li Rong and ran out.

They rushed out of the tent, hacking and killing their way out. Li Chuan realized that these people were coming for him. He pushed Li Rong aside and shouted urgently: "Protect the princess and leave first!"

After saying this, he led his men and fled to the other side.

When the guard heard this, he immediately protected Li Rong and walked to the other side.

Li Rong followed the guards and left quickly. She looked up at the killer who had been lying in ambush in the crowd and nodded to him.

The killer received the order and quickly left the crowd. In a moment, arrows rained down on Li Cheng who was standing on the corridor watching the game!

"Someone is trying to assassinate me!"

A loud shout exploded throughout the venue. All of a sudden, the nobles screamed in fear and fled in all directions. The guards protected Li Ming, but before Li Cheng could react, he was pierced through by a feather arrow and fell to the ground.

Pei Wenxuan reacted suddenly and realized that the assassination started ahead of schedule, which must be because something happened to Li Chuan and Li Rong.

He turned his horse around and hurried towards Xie Chunhe's tent.

Li Rong and Li Chuan separated, and the pressure decreased dramatically. These people were rushing towards Li Chuan. Now there were only so many people on the field. As long as they hurried back to Li Ming and followed Li Ming back to the palace, they would be completely safe.

But when she and her companions took a few steps forward, they felt arrows coming at them from the side like a blanket of rain. The guards shouted anxiously, "Your Highness!"

Before Li Rong could react, she was thrown to the ground. As soon as she fell to the ground, a long knife came at her quickly!

She rolled on the ground, her hair spread out, and then she felt someone pulling her onto a horse. The man said anxiously, "Your Highness, I'll take you away first!"

Li Rong got on the horse and looked up in panic, only to find that there were killers all around her rushing towards her!

Where did so many people come from? Why didn’t they go to Li Chuan’s place?

Before Li Rong could react, she saw her people being dispersed by these people, and the guards protecting her were chased all the way and rushed towards the dense forest!

Li Rong reacted suddenly and shouted: "No! You can't go in!"

There were six armies of soldiers in it, a total of 600 people, and no one knew how many of them were killers.

"Your Highness, I can't retreat!"

The guard responded hastily, jumped on his horse, and went into the woods. At the same time, he lifted up his hand and pushed Li Rong down. Li Rong lay on the horse's back, and all he could hear was the sound of arrows flying around him.

She held her head, feeling the branches slicing around her, the wind whistling past, and the pursuers behind her. She vaguely heard Li Chuan shouting from behind: "Sister!!"
