"Me and Mu Yunmeng?!" Xi Honglei almost choked on her saliva as she listened to Ran Yunshang's words. She looked at Ran Yunshang dumbfounded. Xi Honglei had never thought that someone would pair herself and Mu Yunmeng together.
"Why?"
"It's nothing..." Ran Yunshang looked out the window with misty eyes, then shook his head and said faintly: "Maybe I am too selfish, that's why I said this. Just pretend you haven't heard it."
Xi Honglei rarely saw a melancholy expression on Ran Yunshang's face, and the reason why Ran Yunshang showed such an expression was all because of Mu Yunmeng. The entanglement between the two people made Xi Honglei feel more and more
I am curious and want to know the reason more and more. However, it should not be easy to get the answer from Ran Yunshang. And Mu Yunmeng's boring gourd and Xihonglei have no hope. Leng Xiao can't mention this
There was nothing else anyone else could do to help. Therefore, the only person Xi Honglei could rely on in the end was herself.
"By the way, princess. Is Mu Yunmeng still working as Jing Zhaoyin?" Xi Honglei suddenly remembered Mu Yunmeng's official position and asked.
"Well. My father didn't take away his official title, but so what?" Ran Yunshang smiled sadly and whispered: "The person who was originally a prince became an official like that. It will only make others worse.
It’s just a joke.”
With a resentful expression and a cold voice. Seeing Ran Yunshang like this, Xi Honglei quickly shut her mouth and stopped mentioning Mu Yunmeng.
Xi Honglei stayed in the palace with great melancholy, being restricted from her freedom. Time passed while she was melancholy. Soon, the sky became dark.
Xi Honglei, who had nothing to do, returned to the room after dinner, and looked at the painting with boredom, sitting there embroidering. Lying lazily on the couch, Xi Honglei watched the painting stitch by stitch.
Embroidered with mandarin duck patterns, he sighed feebly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Hua'er heard Xi Honglei's sigh, stopped what he was doing, and turned to look at Xi Honglei. "What's bothering you?"
"Well, that's right." Xi Honglei looked at Hua'er's nervous look and couldn't help but want to tease her. "My marriage to Prince Chu has almost been decided. I'm not happy."
"Why?!" Hua'er exclaimed, realizing that her voice was a bit too loud. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and asked in a low voice: "Miss, don't you like Prince Chu? How could you be unhappy?"
"That was before. Now I have someone else I like." Xi Honglei slowly sat up straight and looked at Hua'er as if he was about to cry. Under Hua'er's shocked gaze, he said: "
What I like now is Mu Yunmeng. Hua'er, do you think I should run away from my marriage and wander around the world with Mu Yunmeng, never to come back again?"
"Little, little, miss, you..."
Hua'er stuttered for a long time, but didn't say what he wanted to say. Looking at Xi Honglei intently, Hua'er froze there with a complicated mood for a long time before he recovered slightly.
Carefully stood up and walked to Xi Honglei's side. Hua'er first cautiously touched Xi Honglei's forehead. After confirming that Xi Honglei did not have a fever, he whispered: "Miss, this kind of joke is terrible.
You can’t open it randomly!”
"I'm not kidding, I really like Mu Yunmeng. Hua'er, what do you think I should do?" Xi Hong teased Hua'er with a smile in her tearful eyes, looking at Hua'er who was stunned by her own question again.
In the painting, a smile quickly appeared on the corner of the red tearful mouth, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Miss..." Hua'er took a deep breath and was about to speak to persuade Xi Honglei not to have such thoughts again. But before she could say anything, she was stopped by a knock on the door.
Xi Honglei frowned when she heard the knock on the door. It was so late, who could it be?
"Come in." Xi Honglei looked in the direction of the door and spoke softly. Looking at Zheng Siqi who opened the door and walked in, Xi Honglei narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Zheng Siqi quickly walked to Xi Honglei's side, lowered her body and leaned against Xi Honglei's ear, saying: "Mu Yunmeng has arrived in the palace, but there are people from Ran Yunpo watching outside, so it will take some time to come.
Zhou Xuan. Mu Yunmeng asked me to tell you, don’t rest yet. He will come to see you."
Why did Mu Yunmeng come to the palace so late at night?
Xi Honglei blinked her eyes, unable to figure out Mu Yunmeng's purpose for entering the palace for a while. Could it be that he came because she said she wanted to talk to him about Zhong Zhenwang? But that doesn't need to be the case.
Are you anxious? Or is it Leng Xiao who has some tasks that Mu Yunmeng assigned to him?
"Hua'er, please go back to your room and rest first." Xi Honglei sent Hua'er away first, and then stayed alone in the room, waiting for Mu Yunmeng to appear.
Listening attentively to the movement outside, when Xi Honglei heard the faint sound, Mu Yunmeng appeared in her sight.
Xi Honglei stood up from the soft couch and looked at Mu Yunmeng walking towards her calmly, then sat down where she had just been sitting. Xi Honglei bit her lower lip and asked, "It's so late.
What brings you here?"
Mu Yunmeng raised his head, glanced at Xi Honglei, and then slowly lowered his head. "Didn't you ask Zheng Siqi to call me here?"
"That's why? Can't you come over during the day?"
"I just happen to have time now." Mu Yunmeng glanced around the room where Xi Hongtear was sitting, and said, "Besides, it's not convenient to talk during the day."
Mu Yunmeng's actions and explanations made Xi Honglei feel inexplicably powerless. In addition to this feeling, Xi Honglei was also curious about how Mu Yunmeng got into the palace. Based on his identity, he should
It's because he can't enter and leave the palace freely. Did he sneak in secretly? Does he know martial arts?
Having known Mu Yunmeng for such a long time, Xi Honglei has never seen Mu Yunmeng show off his skills. Recalling the time when Mu Yunmeng was bullied by Liu Fu, Xi Honglei's eyes also followed.
It became sharper.
Turning around and walking to the closet, Xi Honglei rummaged through it, found a few medicine bags and handed them to Mu Yunmeng's hand.
"Zhong Zhenwang is looking over there. I need you to disguise yourself as a charlatan and treat him. This is the medicine you want to give him. I had tampered with his medicine before. After a day or two, his condition will be worse.
It will get worse. Then you can use this opportunity to cure his disease. What is written on this piece of paper is Zhong Zhenwang's current physical condition. After taking his pulse, you only need to follow what is written on it.
Say it once, and he won't have any doubts about you."
Mu Yunmeng listened carefully to Xi Honglei's words, looked at the packets of medicine in his hand, and asked: "This medicine is to cure Zhong Zhenwang's disease, but if I remember correctly, our goal
You should kill him, right?"
"That's right. This medicine is both an antidote and a poison. While it will cure Zhong Zhenwang, the poison mixed in it will unknowingly kill him. Anyway, you are a charlatan in disguise.
As long as you take off the mask, no one can find you."
"Well, that's a good idea." Mu Yunmeng nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval of Xi Honglei. "But who prepared this medicine? You?"
"Don't worry about this matter. In short, killing Zhong Zhenwang is the most important thing. If things go wrong, neither you nor I can escape Leng Xiao."
Xi Honglei's words made Mu Yunmeng smile silently and stand up. Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei looked at each other. Then in Xi Honglei's surprised eyes, he reached out and patted her head and said: "I know
Well, you have a good rest and wait for my news."
After saying that, Mu Yunmeng prepared to leave Xi Honglei's room.
"etc!"
Xi Honglei called out to Mu Yunmeng before he could reach the door of the room.
Striding up to Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng with gloomy eyes and asked, "Can I ask, what is the grudge between you and Ran Yunpo?"
"Why do you ask that?" Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei in confusion, "What grudges will there be between me and Prince Chu?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me. Even if you say that, I won't believe you. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. But what I want to tell you is that no matter what happened between you, Yun
Princess Shang is innocent. Don't involve her."
Mu Yunmeng took a deep look at Xi Honglei and was silent for a moment. Thinking of Ran Yunshang's face, Mu Yunmeng licked the corners of his lips and said, "I have my own sense of discretion regarding Yunshang. But you, please remember to look for it."
Your own seat."
"What do you mean by that?" Xi Honglei was quite dissatisfied with Mu Yunmeng's attitude. Looking at Mu Yunmeng's calm expression, Xi Honglei raised his voice slightly and said coldly: "What should I do?
It’s not your turn to remind me! Whether I choose to side with Prince Chu or Leng Xiao is not something you should worry about! I have no interest in saying anything to people like you. Just go away. I want to
Rest."
Xi Hong tearfully ordered her to leave, and immediately turned around and walked towards the bed. However, she didn't expect that Mu Yunmeng behind her was not prepared to let her leave so easily.
Mu Yunmeng grabbed his wrist and forcefully pulled Xi Honglei back. Xi Honglei almost fell into Mu Yunmeng's arms, looking at Mu Yunmeng's face displeased, Xi Honglei asked sharply
Said: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I don't have anything to say, I just want to see your angry expression." Mu Yunmeng smiled slightly and said angrily. "Did I do anything to make you angry?"
"No! Yes!" Xi Honglei gritted her teeth and replied to Mu Yunmeng. "Go away, I don't want to see you now!"
Mu Yunmeng nodded and let go of Xi Honglei's wrist. Under Xi Honglei's gaze, he walked slowly towards the door of the room. When he walked to the door, Mu Yunmeng suddenly turned his head and looked at Xi Honglei.
He said: "By the way, get ready. After your hand is healed, come with me out of the palace and go somewhere else."
