"So confident?" Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei's confident look and frowned in confusion.
"Of course." Xi Honglei nodded matter-of-factly. After arousing Mu Yunmeng's curiosity, he smiled and changed the subject. "By the way, why did the emperor ask you to come to the palace?"
Mu Yunmeng did not answer Xi Honglei's question, but looked at Xi Honglei very seriously for a while, smiled slightly, and said: "I will bring your words to you. You can stay well in the palace during this period.
In a few days, the emperor will send you out of the palace with me to go to other places. However, you should not tell anyone else about this matter first. Not even Yun Shang."
After Mu Yunmeng finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Xi Honglei standing there alone, staring blankly at Mu Yunmeng's retreating back, guessing who came to the palace this time.
reason.
Back in the room, Xi Honglei secretly calculated the time it would take for Zhong Zhenwang to be poisoned and cause blood in his urine. The poison was prepared by Xi Honglei himself, and it was weak. So besides making Zhong Zhenwang's urine turn red,
, there are not too many discomforts in other places. What Xi Honglei needs to do now is to wait for Zhong Zhenwang to enter the palace again and go to the Imperial Physician's Hall. Then he will find a way to contact him personally and cure him.
Antidote for blood in urine and skin allergies.
Calling Zheng Siqi into the room, Xi Honglei looked at her with a solemn expression and asked: "Siqi, can you disguise yourself?"
"Yes, what are you going to do?" Zheng Siqi nodded quickly, looked at Xi Honglei in confusion, and asked in a low voice.
"That's good. You can find time to prepare things for disguise. We may have to leave the palace in the next few days, so we have to be prepared."
After explaining Zheng Siqi's affairs, Xi Honglei could do other things with peace of mind. For several days, things went smoothly, even beyond Xi Honglei's expectations.
Xi Honglei has been staying in the palace, but no one has disturbed her peaceful life. So what Xi Honglei has to do every day is to chat with Ran Yunshang, drink tea, make rice bugs, and plan the next steps
It's just a matter of things. The comfortable days made Xi Honglei feel like the uneasiness before the storm, so while enjoying the hard-won life, Xi Honglei guessed the worst possibility in the future.
"Princess, the ninth prince and the fourteenth prince are here."
"Tell them to come in." Ran Yunshang, who was sitting in the yard eating snacks with Xi Honglei, was stunned when he heard such words from the maid, and said quickly.
Looking at the two people who had not shown up for some days, Ran Yunshang tilted his head, glanced at them up and down, and asked, "What have you two been doing these days?"
"Help Third Brother with some things." Ran Yunhao replied with a smile in his eyes, then glanced at Xi Honglei, cleared his throat, and asked: "My Fourteenth Brother and I are going out of the palace, do you two want to go out?"
Together?"
"Is it okay?" As soon as Ran Yunshang heard the word "exit the palace", he immediately stood up from the stone bench with bright eyes and looked at Ran Yunhao expectantly.
"Of course. This is Third Brother's request. If something goes wrong, he will take responsibility."
With Ran Yunhao's guarantee, Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang left the palace openly and followed Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou to Prince Chu's Mansion. But as soon as they reached the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion, Xi Honglei discovered something was wrong.
Xi Honglei looked at the servants coming in and out of Prince Chu's Mansion in surprise, and then looked at Ran Yunshang who was also dumbfounded beside him. He pursed his lower lip, Xi Honglei turned to look at Ran Yunhao, and asked: "What's in Prince Chu's Mansion?"
Happy event?"
"Well, that's right. Third brother is getting married."
Ran Yunhao's answer made Xi Honglei almost bite her tongue. Ran Yunshang choked on her saliva and coughed violently. After coughing until her face turned red, Ran Yunshang looked at Ran Yunhao with tears in her eyes and spoke in disbelief. "
Third brother is getting married? Who? Shui Rongyan?"
Ran Yunhao smiled lightly and did not answer Ran Yunshang's question. The four of them walked slowly into the Prince of Chu's palace, and after a long time of crying, they slowly recovered from the shock.
Shaking his head in disbelief, Xi Honglei sighed secretly in his heart. The method of water-melting smoke is really clever. It can actually get rid of that weirdo Ran Yunpo and get him to agree to marry her! But... what will the emperor do?
"You are here." Ran Yunpo suddenly appeared in front of several people, causing Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang to involuntarily stop their steps and stop there in embarrassment.
Ran Yunpo noticed the actions of the two people, turned his attention to Xi Honglei, and said in a cold voice: "Come with me."
Xi Honglei watched Ran Yunpo look straight at her. After confirming that he was calling her, he hesitated and followed Ran Yunpo into the room.
After closing the door, Xi Honglei turned around with a smile on her lips, met Ran Yunpo's calm eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really awesome! I didn't expect that you would marry Miss Shui just a few days after I entered the palace.
Congratulations!”
"Shall I marry Shui Rongyan?" Xi Honglei's words made Ran Yunpo frown. Holding Xi Honglei's face with a happy expression, Ran Yunpo paused for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth coldly and asked: "Who said I want to
Are you marrying Shui Rongyan?"
"If you don't marry Miss Shui Rongyan, then what are you going to do with all the lights and decorations in this palace?" The smile on Xi Honglei's face suddenly froze, and she cursed in her heart that she didn't know the current affairs and talked nonsense. But Ran Yunpo's next sentence
However, Xi Honglei no longer even thought about scolding herself. Instead, she just wanted to stab herself to death.
"The person I want to marry is you."
"My lord...are you kidding?" Xi Honglei's mind went blank and he looked at Ran Yunpo with dull eyes. After making sure that he heard correctly, he boldly spoke. "You must have other plans, right? Well, you
Say, I will definitely cooperate with you."
"I want to marry you, why should you be so unacceptable?" Xi Honglei's reaction made Ran Yunpo feel very unhappy. His whole body was exuding a faint chill, Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei with disdain, and sat down with his hands on his chest.
Go to the chair. "Or are you unwilling to marry me?"
Not willing, of course not!
Xi Honglei screamed in her heart as loudly as she could, but she didn't dare to show anything in front of Ran Yunpo. "My lord, Honglei is the most unworthy young lady in Xi Mansion. If she really marries into the prince's manor,
It will make others gossip and make fun of the prince."
Let her be the concubine? This is absolutely impossible.
"Do you think my arrangement for you to enter the palace is really just a boring move?" Ran Yunpo snorted coldly, directly dispelling Xi Honglei's concerns. "I have already discussed it with my mother, and in a few days, the emperor will come down
An imperial edict has been issued to make you the princess. So you don’t have to worry about your identity."
"But your lord, I don't want to get married." Xi Honglei said her thoughts quickly without even thinking about it. But the moment she said it, after seeing Ran Yunpo's cold expression, Xi Honglei said
I regretted it again. "I mean, what should I do with the water-soluble smoke girl?"
"Didn't you suggest to me that it would be best to find a daughter from a famous family as your wife to make the emperor happy and stop paying attention to Shui Rongyan and me? I have decided to give up on marrying Shui Rongyan.
So you don't have to use the water-soluble smoke as an excuse to deal with me." Ran Yunpo stood up slowly, walked directly in front of Xi Honglei, pinched Xi Honglei's chin hard, and forced Xi Honglei to sit with him.
Their eyes met. "I don't care whether you are willing or not, and I don't care whether there are other people in your heart. In short, I will not allow anyone to resist what I decide."
After Ran Yunpo finished saying what he needed to say, he left Xi Honglei alone in the room and strode out.
Xi Honglei bit her lower lip and frowned. Ran Yunpo's sudden move had completely ruined Xi Honglei's plan. Ran Yunpo wanted to marry her, so what should Leng Xiao do? How would Leng Xiao react?
What move? Xi Honglei couldn't imagine and didn't dare to guess.
All she could think about was that the affair between herself and Leng Xiao would be revealed. Xi Honglei squatted down and hugged her body in frustration and annoyance. But no matter how she thought, she could not think of a way to escape this disaster.
"Honglei..." Ran Yunshang, who had already heard the truth from Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou, walked slowly to Xi Honglei's side, patted her back gently, and asked: "Are you okay?
"
"What should I do?" Xi Honglei raised his head in despair and looked at Xi Honglei. "There is no room for maneuver, right?"
"Yes." Ran Yunshang nodded reluctantly. "No one can change what the third brother decides. Besides, the queen is helping this time, so no one dares to resist."
Ran Yunshang looked at Xi Honglei and had a lot of thoughts in her heart. Why did the third brother marry Honglei? What benefits could Honglei bring to him? The third brother and the queen would never do anything that was not beneficial to them, so this
It must have been like this once. What do they want to use Red Tears to do? Is it to seize the throne? Or to deal with Brother Yunmeng?
"Honglei, let's talk about this matter when we return to the palace. You get up first." Ran Yunshang tried hard to calm down and look less irritable. Looking at Xi Honglei with twinkling eyes, Ran Yunshang said in a low voice: "We'll talk about it when we return to the palace.
Find a way."
Xi Honglei also quickly recovered from the shock and confusion. Standing up, Xi Honglei nodded towards Ran Yunshang, then secretly clenched his fists and returned to his previous calm state.
"Your Majesty, I want to go back to Xi Mansion to see my mother." After walking to the yard, Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo who was standing with Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou, strode over and spoke softly.
."I wonder if it's okay?"
"Go back, I will send someone to pick you up at Xi Mansion later." Ran Yunpo nodded and agreed to Xi Honglei's request.
"Third brother, I want to go too!" Ran Yunshang raised a smile and approached Ran Yunpo. "When the time comes, you can send someone to take me and Honglei back to the palace, okay?"
