"Leave the palace?" Xi Honglei tilted his head and looked at the impractical Mu Yunmeng, and chuckled: "It's a problem for me to return to Xi Mansion now, let alone go to other places with you. This kind of thing, I think
Don’t even think about it.”
"Your Majesty, I will find a way. Just take good care of yourself."
After Mu Yunmeng left a word, he left the room under Xi Honglei's gaze. Xi Honglei looked at the direction Mu Yunmeng left, recalling what Mu Yunmeng had just said, he closed his head with a headache.
With eyes closed, I lay back on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Did she really marry into the Prince of Chu’s Mansion just like that...?
Xi Honglei was thinking about this question, and Leng Xiao's appearance suddenly flashed in his mind.
Weeping weakly, Xi Honglei knew that she had no chance to choose or resist in this matter. Even the queen had talked to her personally, what else could she do? Besides, Xi Honglei still vaguely felt that the queen and
The relationship between Lin Wanru and Lin Wanru was not just that of a simple master and servant. Thinking about Lin Wanru's panic when she learned that she had met the queen, Xi Honglei felt more and more that she had jumped into a huge world.
There is no way to escape from the conspiracy trap.
After a sleepless night and no good rest, two big dark circles inevitably appeared under her eyes. So when Ran Yunpo entered the palace and saw her, he was stunned for a moment.
His eyes stayed on Xi Honglei's face for a moment, and then turned to other places. Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo who suddenly appeared. She didn't know the reason and purpose of him coming to her, and her nerves immediately became tense. She signaled to the room.
After Hua'er and Zheng Siqi left, Xi Honglei asked cautiously: "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"
Seeing Xi Honglei's cautious look, Ran Yunpo snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?"
"Honglei doesn't mean that. I just feel that there are so many things waiting for you to do, Prince, so you don't have time to see me." Xi Honglei lowered his head, trying hard not to offend Ran Yunpo. But he was used to seeing her.
The sharp-tongued Ran Yunpo didn't say anything after seeing her obedient look. He just stared at Xi Honglei silently, which made Xi Honglei feel inexplicably panicked.
After a long time, Ran Yunpo spoke again. "Let's go, follow me to see the emperor."
"Meet the Emperor?!" Xi Honglei raised his head in surprise and met Ran Yunpo's eyes. "Why?"
"Ha." Ran Yunpo sneered at Xi Honglei's reaction, "Just leave when I tell you to. Where's all the nonsense?"
Xi Honglei followed Ran Yunpo helplessly and walked towards the palace where the emperor was. Along the way, the two of them were silent. Xi Honglei was only thinking about how to deal with the emperor's old fox later, and almost ignored the existence of Ran Yunpo beside him.
After arriving at the emperor's palace, Xi Honglei took a deep breath and followed Ran Yunpo's footsteps and walked in.
Seeing Ran Fenghe, Xi Honglei quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Common people Xi Honglei pay your respects to the emperor."
"Get up." Ran Fenghe looked at Xi Honglei with gleaming eyes, and waved his hand to signal her to stand up. After chatting with Ran Yunpo for a few words, Ran Fenghe drove him out of the room, leaving only Xi Hong.
Tears alone.
Xi Honglei secretly glanced at Ran Fenghe with her peripheral vision, unable to guess what he wanted to say to her. She stood on the ground uneasily, when Ran Fenghe said: "I didn't expect that you would get it done so quickly. You promised me
"Things." When Xi Honglei bit her lower lip, her mind quickly recalled the conversation she had had with the emperor. She pulled her lips awkwardly, and Xi Honglei smiled bitterly. It seemed that the emperor had already decided that
She killed the water-soluble smoke on purpose...
"Honglei, tell me, did you already expect this outcome as early as when you promised me?"
Ran Fenghe's probing eyes kept turning on Xi Honglei and never left. Hearing what he said, Xi Honglei pursed his lower lip uneasily and asked in a low voice: "Does the emperor want to hear the truth or a lie?
…?”
"Haha, of course it's the truth!" Ran Fenghe laughed and looked at Xi Honglei. "Say it, no matter what you say, I will pardon you!"
With Ran Fenghe's words as a guarantee, Xi Honglei became a little more courageous. Raising his head, Xi Honglei looked at Ran Fenghe cautiously and said slowly: "Actually, Miss Shui's death was not unexpected by me.
中.Although I killed her with my own hands, I never thought of doing so."
Xi Honglei sighed quietly and continued: "Because as soon as Miss Shui died, my situation became extremely dangerous. Maybe Prince Chu would implicate the people in Xi Mansion when he was angry. So what happened was
Honglei is also very afraid of what happened."
"Then how did you make Po'er calm down?" Ran Fenghe asked curiously. As a father-in-law, Ran Fenghe has always been very clear about Ran Yunpo's love for the water-soluble smoke. It was precisely because he knew this that he did not
Do it easily.
"Honglei doesn't understand what the prince is thinking now. The prince probably didn't calm down, but he didn't do anything to me. So I feel uneasy every moment."
Xi Honglei spoke to Ran Fenghe in a slightly aggrieved voice, without concealing her worries about Ran Yunpo. This made Ran Fenghe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laugh. It seemed that he was really right about Xi Honglei.
…
"Now that the water-soluble smoke issue has been resolved, it's time for you and Po'er to get married." Ran Fenghe moved and stood up. Squinting his eyes slightly, Ran Fenghe looked at Xi Honglei seriously.
, said: "Originally, your marriage was scheduled for half a month later, but after Shui Rongyan died, I thought Po'er would inevitably feel uncomfortable, so I postponed the date a little, and set it for today, three months later. Wait a moment.
I will announce to the people of the world that you are the adopted daughter of me and the Queen. So during this period, you can stay in the palace with Yun Shang with peace of mind."
"Honglei, thank you for your gift, Your Majesty." As soon as Xi Honglei heard what Ran Fenghe said, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank you. But his heart was already extremely messy.
It seems that Ran Yunpo brought her to see the emperor today because of the emperor's wishes. She still has three months to marry Ran Yunpo...
Xi Honglei left the emperor's palace with a complicated mood, and walked absentmindedly on the path with Ran Yunpo. Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei's side face, frowned, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ran Yunpo's question woke Xi Honglei out of his deep thoughts. Turning to look at Ran Yunpo, Xi Honglei thought for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask."
"Why don't you kill me...?" Xi Honglei asked slowly, "You should love Miss Shui Rongyan very much, right?"
"You want me to kill you?" Ran Yunpo didn't expect that Xi Honglei would have the courage to ask him this question, and asked with a stunned expression.
"Of course I don't want to. But if some issues are not clarified, I will feel very uncomfortable. So even if I am going to die, I want to understand it." Xi Honglei smiled calmly and shrugged. "Anyway, what happened now
You also know the truth. No matter what, I know you have feelings for Miss Shui. You should be the saddest person when she dies. Even if you kill me, no one will dare to say anything.
say what."
"You are quite open-minded."
Ran Yunpo glanced at Xi Honglei meaningfully, but did not answer her question immediately. Why didn't he kill her? This is also a question that Ran Yunpo has been thinking about these days.
Is it because of the reminders and warnings from his mother, for the sake of the throne? Or because this matter is related to Leng Xiao, and he wants to use Xi Honglei to get more information about Leng Xiao? But even so, he should give her some pain.
Eat, right?
Ran Yunpo slowly loosened his clenched fists, glanced at Xi Honglei who was looking at him nervously, and Ran Yunpo said sternly: "It's not time to kill you yet. If you want to die so much, you might as well tell me directly.
.I will make your wish come true.”
"It's not time to kill me yet. In other words, I will still die, right..." Xi Honglei shrank his neck and reflexively raised his hand to touch his neck. He looked at Ran Yunpo in confusion, Xi Honglai
Tears didn't know what to say to him anymore, so she could only mutter in a low voice: "I haven't lived enough yet, and I won't ask you to take the initiative to die."
With good hearing, Ran Yunpo heard Xi Honglei's last words very clearly, and his brows furrowed even more tightly. Ran Yunpo looked at the fearless Xi Honglei in front of him, but he couldn't find anything about her.
The fear of death.
Ran Yunpo still remembered what his father once said to him. His father said that Xi Honglei was an interesting woman, because for such a long time, not even the civil and military ministers in the dynasty dared to look directly at him like Xi Honglei.
people.
Why is Xi Honglei so bold? Is it because Leng Xiao is secretly supporting her that she has the confidence to go her own way? But if Leng Xiao really cares about her, how come he still has her here at this time?
How about living in an environment where you are in dire straits and can lose your head at any time?
Xi Honglei felt from Ran Yunpo's tone that his life should not be in danger in the recent period. This also made Xi Honglei secretly feel relieved.
Walking back side by side with Ran Yunpo, Xi Honglei looked at the two people coming towards him from a distance. After seeing their faces clearly, Xi Honglei couldn't help but grin. They turned out to be Song Zixuan and Ran Yunshang!
"Honglei has met the princess and met General Song."
Xi Honglei bowed to the two of them and saluted, and then winked at Ran Yunshang without leaving any trace.
