Xi Honglei's words made Zheng Siqi's anger rise sharply. Looking at Xi Honglei's eyes, Zheng Siqi calmed down for a long time before speaking slowly and said, "I will contact you for you."
"That's good." Xi Honglei smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Siqi meaningfully, then turned and left without saying anything else.
Zheng Siqi stared at Xi Honglei's back, her brows frowning more and more. It was the first time she saw Xi Honglei showing such an expression, and Zheng Siqi began to wonder whether her master's previous evaluation of Xi Honglei was correct.
In the dead of night, when Zheng Siqi saw Bai Moyue who came to ask if anything had happened, she told her Xi Honglei's request to see Leng Xiao, as well as her expression and attitude at the time.
Bai Moyue listened quietly to Zheng Siqi's words, then raised her eyebrows with interest and asked, "Did she really say that?"
"Well, yes." Zheng Siqi nodded with a gloomy look, "I don't know why she wants to see the master, but..."
"No buts, tell her that Leng Xiao will come to her as soon as he has time and ask her to be patient and wait." Bai Moyue glanced at Zheng Siqi and interrupted Zheng Siqi. After questioning Zheng Siqi some more, Bai Moyue left.
He walked out of the room and disappeared into the dark night.
From the palace to the place where Leng Xiao was, Bai Moyue was studying in her mind. What happened when Xi Honglei suddenly had a tough attitude and wanted to see Leng Xiao? Did she want to get involved in this matter?
"Is something wrong?" Leng Xiao looked at Bai Moyue who appeared in his room and asked lazily.
"Of course." Bai Moyue nodded matter-of-factly, sat down and looked at Leng Xiao politely, and asked with a smile on her lips: "How many days are you really planning to stay here?"
"There is good food and drink, what's not allowed?" Leng Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Moyue. He knew that Bai Moyue came to see him so late, not just to tease him about staying at Zhongzhong
Watch out for those at home.
Bai Moyue paused for a moment, thought about it, and continued to ask: "After killing Zhong Zhenwang, when are you going to take action on the remaining targets?"
"When did you care about this matter so much?" Leng Xiao sat up from the bed with an evil smile, met Bai Moyue's eyes with burning eyes, and asked: "Or, what you want to ask is, how many people are left?
Personally, am I prepared to hand it over to Xi Honglei?"
"Yes, that's what I want to ask." Bai Moyue nodded with a smile, "To be honest, I never thought she could handle Zhong Zhenwang's matter so well. Regardless of Zhong Zhenwang's condition and the time of onset
, she grasps everything very accurately, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do. Do you think she will really be willing to be used by you, and always be as docile as a little sheep? Rabbits will bite when they are anxious, I feel red tears.
It’s not as easy to control as you think.”
"Is she docile?" Leng Xiao listened to Bai Moyue's evaluation of Xi Honglei and sneered. "I never thought there was anything docile about her from the first day I met her. But that's what makes it more interesting.
Isn't it? The control is in my hands. As long as I still want to use her, she can't escape from my grasp. Mo Yue, this time you are worrying too much. "
"I hope so." Bai Moyue sighed faintly, and told Leng Xiaoxi that Honglei wanted to see him. "Are you going to wait until Zhong Zhenwang's matter is resolved, or when? According to what Zheng Siqi said
, Xi Honglei probably has something urgent to do with you."
Does Xi Honglei have something urgent to do with him?
Leng Xiao frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Then he stood up slowly and said softly: "It's nothing, anyway, so you might as well go there now."
Leng Xiao's actions made Bai Moyue stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief. "Well, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you if anything happens."
Leng Xiao sent Bai Moyue away and came to the palace unimpeded. Looking at this place that he was very familiar with, Leng Xiao quickly arrived at the palace where Xi Honglei lived.
Xi Honglei, who had not rested yet, was not too surprised by Leng Xiao who suddenly appeared in front of him. On the contrary, he felt that something would be wrong if he appeared in his sight like a normal person.
"It's so late, what are you doing here?"
"Aren't you anxious to see me?" Leng Xiao walked up to Xi Honglei, raised Xi Honglei's chin, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you remember it so soon?"
"Ha. I didn't expect Zheng Siqi to be so efficient." Xi Honglei smiled coldly, then knocked off Leng Xiao's hand, looked up at Leng Xiao seriously, and said, "I came to you because I have something serious to ask.
Yes, I hope you can tell me the answer."
"Let's talk about the problem first."
Xi Honglei stared at Leng Xiao, watching Leng Xiao sit on the soft couch, the two eyes behind the mask staring at him like a cheetah staring at its prey, Xi Honglei's nerves tensed up involuntarily.
"I want to know what is the relationship between my mother and the queen."
"You don't know?" Leng Xiao looked at Xi Honglei with sharp eyes and asked, "I think you should have known about the master-servant relationship between the two of them."
"Don't deal with me! If it were just a master-servant relationship, my mother wouldn't be so nervous about me coming into the palace! She also told me not to anger the queen, and that I would follow the queen's instructions no matter what conditions the queen puts forward.
Do!"
"Is there anything wrong with a mother being worried about her daughter? Or do you think your mother told you that disobeying the queen is the right thing to do?"
"Leng Xiao!"
Xi Honglei suddenly stood up from the bed and strode to Leng Xiao.
"I need to know the truth, otherwise I don't know how to continue to help you! What is your relationship with Mu Yunmeng? Why do you deal with Prince Chu and why do you deal with the royal family? Why did Mu Yunmeng fall out of favor? Why is my mother so afraid of me?
Contact with the Queen? I wish I knew this!"
"If you want to know, do I have to tell you the answer?"
Xi Honglei's questioning made Leng Xiao's expression become serious. Looking at Xi Honglei with cold eyes, Leng Xiao said: "Since you have thought so much, you should continue to think about it.
Go down instead of asking me. Or, you can choose to ask Lin Wanru or Mu Yunmeng. In short, it is impossible to get the answer from me."
"So what you're saying is that I'm not qualified to know this, right? I'm not qualified to question you or know your affairs. All I have to do is follow your instructions. I don't need to ask anything. I don't need anything.
You know, right?"
After Xi Honglei became extremely angry, he quickly began to calm down. Looking at Leng Xiao sadly, Xi Honglei felt that he was a little funny. He actually still had illusions about a man like him.
"No matter what you ask me to do, I have to do it. Even if you ask me to die, I have to do it. Right?"
"Yes, it seems that you already know the meaning of your existence, which is good." Leng Xiao nodded with satisfaction. "You are just not qualified to know everything. Because you are just a chess piece in my hand, and you may become better after using it.
Destroyed. So there is no need for me to waste my time explaining something to someone like you."
Leng Xiao's answer made Xi Hong's tears unavoidable as she had already anticipated the outcome. She felt as if she had been poured cold water on her head. She was as cold as head to toe.
"I understand, you can go." Xi Honglei nodded and looked elsewhere. "I won't ask you any more questions, absolutely not! Don't worry."
Xi Honglei's calm expression was unexpected by Leng Xiao. After looking at Xi Honglei quietly for a while, Leng Xiao didn't say anything else and walked straight out of the room, leaving Xi Honglei's sight.
After Leng Xiao left, Xi Honglei, who was alone in the room, finally slumped and sat directly on the ground. With his hands on his knees, Xi Honglei's mind kept echoing what Leng Xiao had just said to him,
Then he laughed at himself over and over again.
Xi Honglei has never been someone who gets angry easily, but today, she really couldn't control herself.
Not qualified.
These four simple words made Xi Honglei reflect on herself again, and then she came to her senses completely.
She is nothing to Leng Xiao.
Leng Xiao doesn't care about her life or death.
This is reality, a cruel reality. The only person she can rely on is herself, nothing more.
Slowly stood up from the ground, Xi Honglei patted the dust on his body, and thought about the current moment. Then he walked out of the room and arrived at the door of Ran Yunshang's room.
"Please tell me that I have something to do and want to see the princess." Xi Honglei looked at the guard guarding the door of Ran Yunshang's room and said softly.
"It's so late, the princess has already gone to bed. If anything happens, come back tomorrow." The guard looked at Xi Honglei in embarrassment, not having the courage to wake up Ran Yunshang, who was already sleeping soundly.
"Don't worry, the princess won't blame you. If anything happens, I will bear it."
With Xi Honglei's words as a guarantee, the guard reluctantly helped Xi Honglei pass the message after thinking about it again and again.
Ran Yunshang, who was woken up, opened his eyes in a daze. He glanced at the person beside the bed and cursed angrily: "Get out!"
"Princess, Xi Honglei asked to see the princess outside the door, saying that she wanted to see the princess for something."
"Red tears...?" Ran Yunshang's mind slowly became clearer. She bit her lower lip in confusion and said, "Let her in."
Seeing Xi Honglei, Ran Yunshang looked at Xi Honglei's gloomy expression and called the other maids out of the room, and then asked: "What happened?"
"Princess." Xi Honglei bit her lower lip in grievance, with tears shining in her eyes. "I have something to tell you."
When Ran Yunshang saw Xi Honglei looking like she was about to cry, she immediately lost all sleep! She quickly stood up from the bed, and Ran Yunshang said nervously: "What's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, please speak slowly!"
