In Yunxiao Garden, Concubine Shu lazily leaned on the soft couch, playing with her jade fingers, listening to Ximen Yi's narration.
"It's a shame that you've lost your heart to her. She doesn't appreciate your kindness!" Concubine Shu glanced sideways at Ximen Yi and said sarcastically with a slight smile.
"I really didn't expect her speed to be so fast and her eyes to be so sharp. I thought she would find the ring with my father today, but I didn't expect that she missed it and ruined the plan." Ximen Yi said angrily.
At that time, he knew that the jade ring could not be melted away, so he deliberately let Ru Yan keep it and made a plan. Unexpectedly, he took it away after Su Ranhua fell into the water last night.
At that time, he had no idea at all. He only thought that Su Ranhua left in a hurry to avoid him. It was not until today after draining the water at Ximen Xianchu's request that he found that the ring was gone, that he thought of Su Ranhua's actions.
Su Ranhua did not give him the ring, which meant that she was deliberately avoiding him. On the contrary, she might tell Ximen Hao about the ring, and last night...
Ximen Yi thought of Su Ranhua's personal words about her being with Ximen Hao and the deep kiss mark on her neck...
Their relationship doesn't really seem to be that bad.
And the Yuehua Kingdom envoy who went to assassinate Ximen Hao was indeed the person Ximen Yi bribed in advance. But when he saw the look in Su Ranhua's eyes today, he clearly recognized him. If she went to look for Ximen Hao in that person
The evidence against him has unpredictable consequences.
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Ximen Yi's eyes.
"Things didn't go according to your ideas. The person who should handle it should handle it as soon as possible to save trouble." Concubine Shu saw his intention in Ximen Yi's eyes.
"Yes," Ximen Yi said, "this matter was done very cleanly. There is only that one person in Yuehua Kingdom. From the beginning to the end, he is the only one who has been in contact with Ruyan. Ruyan doesn't need to worry, I will meet that person immediately
Dispose of it."
"Let him die in the hands of Ximen Hao." Concubine Shu said decisively, straightening her clothes, a shrewd light flashed in her eyes, "If this palace information is correct, Su Ranhua must have given the ring to Ximen Hao.
, while they thought the ring was a clue to find Wu Shan, but they didn't expect you to stay in the pool on purpose, they attacked Ximen Hao and found the ring on his body, which would make it hard for him to defend himself. After clearing the pool water today,
The emperor saw with his own eyes that there was nothing in the pool, so he said that Su Ranhua had picked it up in the pool in advance, but he could not prove whether it was true or false. What's more, Su Ranhua said afterward that he was suspected of hiding evidence and had ulterior motives.
She has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and I don’t think she dares to say anything about it.”
"What the mother and concubine said is absolutely true. I will go check out Ximen Hao and search for the ring." Ximen Yi said.
"Wait a minute," Concubine Shu stopped Ximen Yi and thought, "I am very curious about what Su Ranhua can think of from the ring in the pool."
"She...knows about Ruyan." Ximen Yi hesitated slightly and whispered.
"What?" Concubine Shu's eyes narrowed and she pointed at Ximen Yi, "It's your indulgence again!"
"She was originally arranged by Su Luo City to be with Ximen Hao. I thought it would be a lot more convenient if she was directly used by him." Ximen Yi's confidence weakened as he spoke, "She should know that she can't get anything out of Ximen Hao.
What."
"Can you just give her a promise?" Concubine Shu looked at her son with a sneer, "What do you give her? The future queen? Has she promised?"
Ximen Yi was speechless. He was very angry. He had made his words very clear, but Su Ranhua still stayed away from him. Even if there was a threat from Su Luo City, she followed Su Luo City's attitude.
You shouldn't go against him, King Nan, and secretly help Ximen Hao.
"You are a person who only loses to women!" Concubine Shu stood up and swung her sleeves vigorously, "There are many women around you, but you fell in love with her. Don't say she didn't agree, even if she was willing,
Put away your leisurely thoughts and don’t let me touch Ximen Hao’s women, I hate them very much.”
"Mom, please calm down." Ximen Yi said, "Su Ranhua didn't dare to expose Ru Yan. Besides, even if he did, there would be no evidence. The relationship between me and Ru Yan is very secretive. No outsider knows about Ru Yan and I."
We know each other. As long as we kill the envoy of Yuehua Kingdom, there will be no evidence for Ruyan's murder, and naturally I will not be implicated."
"Are you so sure?" Concubine Shu looked at Ximen Yi's confident look and sneered, "Isn't it Su Ranhua's ability to confuse right and wrong? Have you never experienced it before? What's more, in a situation where he knew it was you who did it.
Next, how confident are you that she won't hurt you again?"
"I don't understand why she refuses to cooperate with me, but she comes so close to Ximen Hao who is strictly guarding against her?" Ximen Yi shook his head in confusion, "I have to ask Su Luo City someday, even if
It’s to get close to Ximen Haotao, but we can’t throw ourselves at him at such a critical moment. You must know that as long as Wu Shan’s affairs are decided on his head, he will plummet, and Suluo City will not let go of this opportunity.”
"A chess piece in Su Luo City?" Concubine Shu snorted and chuckled, "I think that woman is very dishonest and does not look like someone who is willing to be manipulated. It will not be easy for your father to look at her with admiration. It is best to warn her.
Suluo City should also be on guard, lest he be betrayed by his daughter and still be kept in the dark."
"Well, I'm going to do some work now," Ximen Yi said.
"Go quickly, don't delay the opportunity." Concubine Shu waved her hand.
After Ximen Yi left, Concubine Shu sat back on the couch, gently raised her jade fingers, and sipped the tea offered by Su Xin. After thinking for a while, she handed the tea cup to Su Xin, "Ruyan should go back to Xiuyuan to help.
Go and call her here, I want to ask her about the emperor’s new dragon robe.”
"Yes." Su Xin accepted the order and retreated.
Concubine Shu lazily leaned on the soft couch, her enchanting brows and eyes were a bit colder, and her eyes with lingering glances contained an unknown mystery.
After leaving Jinyang Palace, Su Ranhua decided to go find Su Luocheng. The time to go to court was coming, and Su Luocheng should also have entered the palace.
When he arrived at the Zhaohe Hall, Su Ranhua learned that Su Luo City had sent someone to ask for an order, saying that he was not feeling well and could not go to court. He asked the emperor for permission to rest for a few days.
Su Ranhua did not dare to stay longer in Zhaohe Hall, fearing that he would meet Ximen Xianchu who was rushing to go to court and could not explain his intention, so he left in a hurry, decided to leave the palace and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person.
After leaving the palace, Su Ranhua intercepted a carriage carrying passengers and ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But not far away, Su Ranhua discovered that the carriage was heading in the wrong direction. The Prime Minister's Mansion was obviously located in a prosperous area, but the carriage was heading towards a street with few people.
Just as Su Ranhua was about to lean out of the carriage and check on the coachman, she heard the coachman speak first, "Princess, let's find a place to talk."
