Does this count as being caught in adultery? Su Ranhua's heart sank. It seemed that Ximen Yi had guessed correctly. He was also a victim, but he was different from Ximen Zhe. Ximen Zhe was unintentional and kind, but Ximen Yi was really
He deserved it. I don’t know what his calculation was. He didn’t think of ways to prevent this from happening. Instead, he just tried to make it happen by trying to make it happen.
Aware of the anger coming from Su Ranhua, Ximen Yi turned to Su Ranqing with a smile in his eyes and said softly, "Ranqing, you misunderstood. The emperor's wife just wants to hide and be quiet. You know her
I’m actually not in a good mood.”
Saying that, Ximen Yi glanced at Ximen Hao as if signaling to Su Ranqing.
"She doesn't want to be seen, so she comes to you to complain?" Su Ranqing was unyielding. For her, this was the biggest clue she had, and she would not let it go easily.
Su Ran looked at Su Ranhua with hatred. Her clothes were disheveled, she smelled of alcohol, and there was wet wine hanging on her bun. She looked seductive and charming. Only a fool would believe that what would happen if a man and a woman were together.
nothing?
"The emperor's sister-in-law didn't say anything, she just drank a little wine." Ximen Yi disagreed, as if he was upright and not afraid of the shadow.
If it weren't for the previous disrespect towards her, Su Ranhua would definitely be grateful to Ximen Yi for the jug of wine. It was really a good excuse.
Now that the matter has come to a point, it is obvious that the man in black has been tricked. Denying it outright will not work as no one will believe it. The only option is to make the story darker and darker. Instead, the best policy is to admit part of the "facts" and slowly resolve the matter.
But - Su Ranhua pulled up his collar. The open clothes were hard to explain. Bastard Ximen Yi!
"Drinking? Drinking makes you such a virtuous person!" Su Ranqing pointed at Su Ranqing's paintings, trembling with anger, "I realized something was wrong with you when we were near the rockery. I didn't expect you really dared to play tricks! You were still here.
In my room! My lord, do you care so little about our friendship?"
"Rianqing, my beloved concubine," Ximen Yi said gently without being sullen or angry, "Isn't this king trying to persuade the emperor's sister-in-law? You really misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding?" Su Ranqing burst into tears and said with a choked voice, "Does it have to wait until that bitch seduces the prince on the bed for the truth to be true? And... and what she drank was specially made by my concubine.
The wine prepared for the prince!"
"Haha, my beloved concubine is not such a stingy person, and she is not happy to let my sister drink wine? Even if the emperor's sister-in-law talks nonsense and loses her composure when she is drunk, I will not dare to go overboard in the slightest for the sake of the second emperor brother.
"Yes." Ximen Yi said, wiping Su Ranqing's tears gently, then turned to look at Ximen Hao, who had said nothing, and said apologetically with a bit of guilt, "Brother, I will handle this matter."
It's inappropriate, please don't take offense, brother Huang. I just looked at Ranqing's face and didn't want her sister to be wronged, so I tried to find a way to bring you together. It just ended up being self-defeating."
What a Ximen Yi, he took the preserves orally and uttered a few words. Everything started from his princess. Su Ranqing was speechless and had nothing to say. She could still feel the slightest sweetness, and her anger and grievances were instantly reduced.
few.
As long as there is no trouble from Su Ranqing, you can concentrate on dealing with Ximen Hao.
Ximen Yi waited for Ximen Hao's reply. He had already guessed that Ximen Hao had tricked Su Ranqing out of Su Ranqing's mouth about what happened next to the rockery. Although he had done nothing at all, he was still used by Ximen Hao to treat it as the incident with Su Ranhua.
The reason for the private meeting was that Su Ranqing came together to investigate.
"So, we have misunderstood the good intentions of our third brother?" Ximen Hao curled his lips and asked, "Is this really the case?"
"Brother, you can ask your sister-in-law," Ximen Yi said. As he spoke, he glanced at Su Ranhua. He thought he had made a good start for Su Ranhua. As long as she followed his wishes and said she was not favored, he would be prepared.
When he was tortured or depressed and wanted to find a place to talk, he turned to Nanwang and played this disappearing trick. Even if someone suspected it, there was no evidence to refute it. As for being disheveled, it could be regarded as drunk.
Yes, my steps were unsteady, and I fell and fell apart.
In short, this framed oolong can be resolved by their mutual cooperation. He is not Ximen Zhe and has the confidence to fight against Ximen Hao. Therefore, he will have a way to speak for Su Ranhua to ensure that she does not
Ximen Hao will be punished for this matter.
Just when Ximen Yi was secretly thinking about how to deal with Ximen Hao, Su Ranhua's unexpected words completely shocked him.
"What does the South King want the North King to know?" Su Ran raised his eyebrows and said without waiting for Ximen Hao to ask. He raised his hand to touch the palm print on his cheek. It hurt. Su Ranqing was really cruel.
Immediately afterwards, with a sweet and relieved smile on Su Ranhua's red and swollen face, she walked towards Ximen Hao, "Since the prince is here, I am not afraid anymore. I told the South King that as the North Princess, I will not follow him.
You conspired to do something that was unworthy of King Bei."
"Oh?" A light flashed in Ximen Hao's eyes. He looked at Su Ranhua with interest and asked, "What are you sorry for me about?"
"Actually, it's not a plan to target the prince, it's just——" Su Ranhua lowered his eyes and glanced sideways at Ximen Yi.
"Just what?" Ximen Hao asked following Su Ranhua's words. Su Ranhua's unexpected reaction also whetted his appetite.
"It's just that King Nan said that he actually wanted to marry me and my sister into Prince Nan's palace." Su Ran's words were astonishing.
Su Ranqing opened her eyes wide and looked at Ximen Yi in disbelief.
Ximen Yi was shocked. Although he had never said such a thing, Su Ranhua was indeed right. He had had such thoughts ever since he saw the woman who called herself Yu Mengqi on the street. But he was immediately
Su Ranhua said it directly, which was very detrimental to him.
"Your Majesty," Su Ranhua continued, "Anyway, Ran Hua is Princess Bei. This is an established fact, so no matter what other people think or say whether it is true or false, Ran Hua doesn't care. So when
After King Nan secretly kidnapped Ran Hua here, he used threats and inducements, and Ran Hua refused to obey even to the death. He just waited for the prince to find him. Ran Hua believed in the prince's ability."
As he said that, Su Ranhua raised his eyes and looked at Ximen Hao, with a faint smile hidden deep in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, is what she said true?" Su Ranqing was the first to lose her temper and asked.
When Su Ranhua said this, she clearly meant that Ximen Yi cared about her and deliberately abducted her to the Nanwang Mansion. The disappearance of Su Ranhua was all arranged by Ximen Yi.
How could Su Ran not be upset after hearing such words? Even if she continued to obey the Second Madam's instructions and endure everything, she couldn't bear it no matter what.
"Su Ranhua!" Ximen Yi glared at Su Ranhua angrily, never expecting that she would say such a thing.
Ximen Yi thought that he and Su Ranhua should be self-evident collaborators, and since he had her secret, she should think twice before speaking.
But at the moment, the situation suddenly changed. It was obvious that the two of them should stand on the front line to resolve the problem, but it became as if Su Ranhua and Ximen Hao were together, and it was they who joined forces to make a fool of themselves.
