Xi Hong looked at Ran Yunshang with tearful eyes. Under Ran Yunshang's leadership, he walked slowly to the bed, and then sat down on the bed weakly.
"Honglei, what happened?" Ran Yunshang, who had never seen Xi Honglei look like this before, asked extremely nervously: "Didn't you say you have something to say to me? Just say what you want to say!"
"Princess..." Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunshang hesitantly, raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "I want to know about Mu Yunmeng, can you tell me?"
"Brother Yunmeng?!" Xi Honglei's words shocked Ran Yunshang. "Why?!"
As soon as Mu Yunmeng was mentioned, Ran Yunshang immediately became wary. Xi Honglei, who saw the change in her expression, also became more certain of some of his thoughts.
Ran Yunshang calmed down a little, frowned and stared at Xi Honglei, and asked in a low voice: "Honglei, why do you want to know about Brother Yunmeng?"
"I want to help him." Xi Honglei answered Ran Yunshang categorically, and said with firm eyes: "I don't want him to go on like this, and I don't want him to be crushed to death by Prince Chu, or even... lose his life in the end."
Xi Honglei's voice became softer and softer, and finally she was so choked that she couldn't speak. She bit her lower lip, tried hard to stabilize her voice, and continued: "Princess, I don't want to marry Prince Chu. I like
It’s Mu Yunmeng, what should I do..."
Ran Yunshang's eyes flashed, and her eyes widened immediately. "Didn't you tell me before that it's impossible for you and Brother Yunmeng?"
"That's just me lying to myself! I also want to continue like this peacefully, and I also want to become the Princess Chu that everyone envies without anything happening. However, I can deceive others, but I can't deceive myself.
Own."
Xi Honglei hugged Ran Yunshang's arm and rested her head on Ran Yunshang's shoulder.
"The more I come into contact with Prince Chu, and the longer I can't see Mu Yunmeng, the more memories I have of him in my mind. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see him in the future, and I'm afraid of what will happen to him in the future.
Princess, please don’t hide it from me, okay? I know that Prince Chu wants to kill Yun Meng, I don’t want him to die, I can’t let him die!”
Xi Honglei's emotions started to get agitated, which made Ran Yunshang confused for a moment. He could only silently pat Xi Honglei's back, temporarily calming her emotions. After Xi Honglei's breathing slowly became stable,
Ran Yunshang then asked: "Honglei, how did you know that the third brother wanted to kill Brother Yunmeng?"
Xi Honglei sat up straight, first looked cautiously in the direction of the door, and then turned to look at Ran Yunshang. "I have noticed the conflict between Yunmeng and Prince Chu very early. In addition to knowing some things from you, princess,
In addition, I also noticed something from Prince Chu. You know Yunmeng’s temper and temperament now. He won’t say anything, let alone tell me anything. I helped Yunmeng investigate the case before, and Prince Chu went to the border to investigate.
The enemy suddenly came back and happened to see me and Yun Meng together on the street, so he furiously warned me not to have any contact with Yun Meng in the future. Prince Chu was very angry at the time, but I didn’t know why. It was just because
As the princess told me before, hasn’t Prince Chu had a bad relationship with Yunmeng since he was a child?"
Xi Honglei finished speaking slowly, but Ran Yunshang didn't say anything out loud. Xi Honglei did not wait for her to reply to him, so he continued to speak.
"Princess, I know you are good to me and you believe me. So if I have anything, I can only tell you. Although the emperor was not good to Yun Meng, he never killed him. Even if he was beaten, he could be scolded.
Well, the emperor has always kept Yunmeng alive. I dare not say anything, but I feel from the bottom of my heart that the emperor still can’t let go of Yunmeng. Now it’s almost time to establish a prince. Do you think the queen and Prince Chu are really
Will you completely ignore Yunmeng?"
Ran Yunshang was startled. She didn't expect that Xi Honglei would even think of setting up a prince! Did she really know nothing and come to these conclusions based on only her own guesses?
"Why do you have such thoughts?" Ran Yunshang asked in a cold voice.
"Because I know very well that in order to gain power and status, a person will do whatever it takes to get rid of anyone who threatens him." Xi Honglei said with twinkling eyes, and the thoughts of those fighting for the throne quickly emerged in his mind.
The history of fights between roommates. "My mother is in Xifu, and she is not even as good as a concubine. She has no name or status, but my second mother and the others will still continue to do things to my mother, and they will not take my mother lightly. Princess, a
Things like this happen in a small Xi Mansion, do you think my worries about Yun Meng are unnecessary?"
Xi Honglei's words made Ran Yunshang think deeply. Anyone who is smart knows the gap between Mu Yunmeng and Ran Yunpo, and also knows whose side it would be better to side with. Xi Honglei
Being able to think of so many things shows that she is not a stupid person. Princess Chu is indeed a role that many people want to get, but Xi Honglei is now beginning to reject this position. Does she really like Brother Yunmeng?
Thinking about what Xi Honglei had done to help Mu Yunmeng before, Ran Yunshang couldn't help but start to struggle. He was wondering whether he should tell Xi Honglei about Mu Yunmeng.
"Even if you know the truth of the matter, so what? Do you think you can really protect Brother Yunmeng from having an accident?"
"I can't guarantee it, but I know that if I know about Yun Meng, at least when I see and hear that Prince Chu has contacted other people and said something, I will speculate whether the person they want to deal with is
Mu Yunmeng, I will be much more careful than I am now. Princess, aren’t you the same as me and don’t want anything to happen to Yunmeng?”
Ran Yunshang lowered his head in silence, and clenched his fists tighter and tighter. Finally, after a while, Ran Yunshang suddenly raised his head and met Xi Honglei's eyes, and then said in a hoarse voice: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, but you
After knowing these things, you must be careful whether you will be silenced by someone sent by the Queen unknowingly."
Taking a deep breath, Ran Yunshang slowly closed her eyes. The thrilling scenes from that year also appeared in her mind.
"Brother Yunmeng's mother's name is Mu Ziyi. She is a princess from a neighboring country, and she was also the most favored woman by my father at that time. Therefore, my father doted on their child, Brother Yunmeng, extremely. In addition, Yun
Brother Meng has been extremely smart since he was a child, so everyone believed that he would definitely be the prince and the candidate to inherit his father's throne. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and later people began to tell his father that Mu Ziyi simply
They are spies, and they are traps set by the Zizi Kingdom to defeat the Xuanxuan Kingdom."
"Does the emperor believe it?" Xi Honglei asked with a frown.
"I didn't believe it once, I didn't believe it twice. But gradually, when more and more people started to mention this matter to my father, my father had to start to doubt it. Because Xuanxuan Kingdom is his country, he is better than
Everyone would be more worried about this matter. Later, his father became furious because of something and ordered Mu Ziyi to be abolished as queen, and he and Brother Yunmeng were thrown into the cold palace. Later, Mu Ziyi died in the cold palace.
, Brother Yunmeng was expelled from the palace and has not come back until now."
Ran Yunshang talked about Mu Yunmeng and his mother sentence by sentence, but Xi Honglei felt more and more chilled as he listened.
It's not just a coincidence, is it?
"Princess." Xi Honglei spoke carefully and asked: "Is this conspiracy planned by the current queen...?"
"Yes, that's what the current queen did." Ran Yunshang raised her lips and smiled coldly. "In order to get rid of Brother Yunmeng, mother and son, she tried every means and colluded with many ministers in the court at that time to let them
He said those words in front of his father. He also did tricks in the palace to frame Brother Yunmeng and his son. Even the death of Mu Ziyi in the end was all done by Shu Rumei. That was what Brother Yunmeng and I witnessed with our own eyes.
I will never forget it, and Brother Yunmeng will never forget it."
She looked at Ran Yunshang with tears running down her back. If all this is true, then what on earth is Mu Yunmeng thinking about now? He witnessed his mother being killed and experienced the transformation from a prince to a poor man.
There is a sense of disparity. Could Mu Yunmeng be so calm and pretend that nothing had happened?
What about Leng Xiao? What is the reason why Leng Xiao dealt with Ran Yunpo and the royal family?
Xi Honglei kept thinking about the relationship between Leng Xiao and Mu Yunmeng. Suddenly, she had an idea that frightened her. That is, in fact, Leng Xiao was not the leader of the whole thing, and Mu Yunmeng
Meng was not forced to do something by Leng Xiao. The truth of the matter was that Mu Yunmeng was the real mastermind behind the scenes, and even Leng Xiao was just his subordinate...
If this is really the case, then Mu Yunmeng...
The truth of the matter made Xi Honglei shudder. She couldn't imagine what kind of mentality was hidden under Mu Yunmeng's indifferent expression. When would he reveal his true colors, and when would he start to deal with Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei?
How will they fight back?
Also, why is he using himself?
Xi Honglei closed her eyes calmly and tried hard to guess the reason. Lin Wanru was Shu Rumei's personal maid at the beginning. Would Lin Wanru not know about Shu Rumei killing Mu Ziyi? Lin Wanru had always been afraid of herself.
Is this the reason why she came into contact with Shu Rumei? Also, if Lin Wanru knew the whole thing, would Shu Rumei let her live?
No matter how she thought about it, Xi Honglei felt that Lin Wanru could not escape from this matter. Ran Yunshang went to Xi Mansion that day and talked to Lin Wanru alone. Was their topic also about this matter and about Mu Yunmeng?
