After getting the news he wanted to know from Ran Yunshang, Xi Honglei did not stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Ran Yunshang, Xi Honglei returned to his room with a complicated mood and lay down on the bed dejectedly.
Shu Rumei colluded with the ministers of the court to frame Mu Yunmeng and her son, so...could it be that Zhong Zhenwang, the imperial censor whom Leng Xiao had just asked him to kill, was one of them at that time? If his guess was not wrong.
If so, then I’m afraid Mu Yunmeng will take action next.
Mu Yunmeng's appearance filled her mind, and the more Xi Honglei thought about it, the more frightened she felt. Another sleepless night, and when Xi Honglei saw Hua'er who came to prepare breakfast for her in the early morning of the next day, Xi Honglei was so scared.
Hong Lei suddenly felt extremely tired and wanted to vomit.
"Miss, are you okay?" Hua'er looked at Xi Honglei's pale face and walked to her side nervously and asked.
"It's okay, I just didn't have a good rest and was a little tired." Xi Honglei shook his head perfunctorily and responded to Hua'er. After sending Hua'er away, Xi Honglei fell back on the bed again, too lazy to move.
However, Xi Honglei originally wanted to lie in the house doing nothing for the whole day, but the arrival of Ran Yunpo and Song Zixuan completely destroyed Xi Honglei's wish.
Ran Yunpo glanced at Xi Honglei and frowned slightly. When Ran Yunshang saw Xi Honglei like this, he didn't say much, but nodded towards Xi Honglei knowingly.
Xi Honglei freshened up and dressed up, then sat down in the yard in a daze, listening to Ran Yunshang and Ran Yunpo chatting. Xi Honglei and Song Zixuan sat aside in silence, not saying a word.
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to visit the General's Mansion? It's better to choose a different day, let's just hit it today." As he spoke, Ran Yunpo suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xi Honglei.
Xi Honglei met Ran Yunpo's gaze and looked at Ran Yunshang's expectant look. After thinking about it for a while, without saying anything, she and Ran Yunshang left the palace together under the leadership of Song Zixuan.
After leaving the palace, Xi Honglei sighed involuntarily, causing Song Zixuan in front of him to turn his head in confusion and glance at her.
"You didn't sleep last night?" Ran Yunshang walked beside Xi Honglei and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I can't sleep."
Xi Honglei's answer made Ran Yunshang smile silently. Yes, after knowing such a truth, how many people can sleep peacefully?
As they walked, Song Zixuan in front suddenly stopped. Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang looked in the direction where Song Zixuan was staring, and saw Li Yingluo and another man.
Xi Honglei looked at the man next to Li Yingluo, his eyes flashing.
After Song Zixuan paused for a moment, he stepped forward again. Standing face to face with Li Yingluo, the atmosphere was so awkward that Xi Honglei felt extremely depressed. Moreover, excluding Song Zixuan, Ran Yunshang and Li Yingluo, not to mention,
Xi Honglei always felt that the eyes of the man next to Li Yingluo were always on her.
"What a coincidence." Ran Yunshang was the first to break the silence. He glanced meaningfully at the man next to Li Yingluo. Ran Yunshang smiled slightly and asked, "I guess this is the famous Mo Shangli?"
Ran Yunshang's directness was something that neither Li Yingluo nor Song Zixuan expected. Several people were stunned, and the atmosphere dropped again for a moment. Xi Honglei looked around at the people around him, coughed softly, and then stretched out his hand to pull Ran Yunshang.
The hem of his clothes signaled her to change the subject.
"This is indeed Mo Shangli." Before Ran Yunshang could say anything else, Mo Shangli had already accepted Ran Yunshang's words with a smile. Mo Shangli, who already knew Song Zixuan's identity, took a deep look at Xi Honglei, and then
He turned to look at Li Yingluo and asked: "Your friend?"
"Yes, we are friends." Ran Yunshang answered Mo Shangli's question first, and unexpectedly said: "It's hard for everyone to get together. How about we go to the General's Mansion to sit down together today?"
Ran Yunshang's proposal made Xi Honglei break into a cold sweat for her, but what made Xi Honglei even more unexpected was that Mo Shangli actually nodded and agreed to Ran Yunshang's invitation!
Several people arrived at the General's Mansion with their own thoughts. Xi Honglei's eyes kept focusing on Ran Yunshang, for fear that if she was not careful, the princess would do something. But Ran Yunshang didn't seem to be as good as Xi Honglei imagined.
, after arriving at the General's Mansion, he took Song Zixuan away, leaving her with Li Yingluo and Mo Shangli.
Xi Honglei looked at the two people in front of him uncomfortably, feeling more or less like he was being a light bulb. Just when Xi Honglei was trying to find an excuse to leave to find Ran Yunshang, Mo Shangli suddenly suddenly
Opened his mouth.
"Why are you here?" Mo Shangli looked at Xi Honglei with cold eyes and asked without warning.
"Ah?" Xi Honglei looked over in surprise, not realizing for a moment what he meant.
Li Yingluo noticed that something was wrong with the emotion in Mo Shangli's eyes, and quickly secretly pulled Mo Shangli's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Shangli, what did you say? This is a young lady from the Xi family, do you admit your mistake?"
Are you here?"
"From the Xi family?" Mo Shangli looked at Li Yingluo hesitantly, and then at Xi Honglei. Recalling the woman he had met and fought with before, Mo Shangli didn't believe that there was such a thing in the world.
Similar people exist.
"My name is Xi Honglei, you must have recognized the wrong person, right?" Xi Honglei looked at Mo Shangli calmly and asked calmly.
"Xi Honglei..." Mo Shangli murmured and repeated Xi Honglei's name. Suddenly his expression changed, then returned to a calm look, and said: "I recognized the wrong person, Miss Xi, I'm sorry.
"
"It's okay." Although Xi Honglei said so, he didn't think so in his heart. Who did Mo Shangli think of himself?
After a while, Ran Yunshang and Song Zixuan reappeared in the sight of Xi Honglei and others. They all sat together and chatted wordlessly, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After about an hour, Li Yingluo proposed to leave first, and said that he would take the initiative to see Ran Yunshang afterwards. After hearing what she said, Ran Yunshang did not embarrass her, and nodded and agreed to the two of them leaving.
Li Yingluo and Mo Shangli left, making Xi Honglei secretly relieved. Listening to Ran Yunshang pestering Song Zixuan and asking him to teach them kung fu, Xi Honglei also became unusually interested.
"General Song, in addition to practicing martial arts, do you also practice internal skills and the like?" Xi Honglei looked at Song Zixuan curiously and asked.
"Well, that's right. In our opinion, the martial arts of those who don't practice internal skills are all fake." Song Zixuan answered Xi Honglei's question straightforwardly. "So if you and the princess really want to learn kung fu, then
, internal strength must be learned.”
"I have also learned some internal skills!" Ran Yunshang heard what Song Zixuan said and immediately protested. "My kung fu is also pretty good!"
Song Zixuan looked at Ran Yunshang with a slight smile and said nothing. But the way he smiled and said nothing had already made Ran Yunshang a little angry. She knew that her kung fu was definitely not as good as Song Zixuan, a general, but she could never let him be like this.
Look down on yourself!
Soon enough, in the blink of an eye, Ran Yunshang had already launched an attack on Song Zixuan. The speed was so fast that Xi Honglei, who was sitting next to him, was startled, and he quickly stood up and distanced himself from the two of them.
.
In response to Ran Yunshang's provocation, Song Zixuan did not dare to fight back and could only dodge. The two of them fought and dodged, but after a long time, there was still no winner. And after Ran Yunshang had been arguing for such a long time, he completely understood himself.
There was a gap between him and Song Zixuan, so he honestly stopped his hand, pursed his lips, and stood there with an aggrieved look on his face.
Seeing Ran Yunshang's expression, Xi Honglei immediately burst into laughter. Walking slowly to the side of Ran Yunshang and Song Zixuan, Xi Honglei thought for a while and said: "General, since the princess has learned some internal skills and mental techniques, why don't you teach them
How about some kung fu princess? As for me..."
Xi Honglei glanced at his injured hand, pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "I am very interested in the internal strength that the general said. If possible, could the general borrow Honglei's book to read?"
"That's right, you teach me kung fu! If Honglei wants it, I will teach her after I return to the palace!" Ran Yunshang was very satisfied with Xi Honglei's proposal and immediately nodded in agreement.
Song Zixuan frowned slightly, thinking about the reason why Ran Yunpo asked Ran Yunshang and Xi Honglei to come to his house, he could only nod in agreement.
Handing a book to Xi Honglei, Song Zixuan warned cautiously: "Just read this book, and don't mess with it yourself. Do you understand?"
"Understood! I'm just bored and want to take a look. Please don't worry, General."
Xi Honglei took Song Zixuan's book and sat aside with peace of mind, watching Song Zixuan teach Ran Yunshang martial arts step by step. In fact, Song Zixuan didn't need to say much, Xi Honglei knew that in his heart. Internal skills and mental methods cannot be practiced casually.
, she didn’t want to end up going crazy if she wasn’t careful.
The day passed quickly, and in the evening, Ran Yunshang reluctantly returned to the palace with tears in her eyes, threatening to go to the General's Mansion someday.
Xi Honglei didn't rest for two days and one night. After dragging her tired body, she returned to the room and lay down on the bed. Not long after, she fell into a drowsy sleep and didn't even eat dinner.
After sleeping until dawn, I opened my eyes refreshed with tears in my eyes, but the first thing I saw was the person I didn't want to see.
Sitting up from the bed suddenly, Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo in the room in surprise, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty... why are you here?"
Ran Yunpo saw Xi Honglei's frightened expression in his eyes, and a strange emotion flashed through his heart. "Today is the day when my father will announce our wedding date. I don't want others to make irresponsible remarks. Do you understand?"
