"Mother." Ran Yunpo frowned at Shu Rumei and asked in confusion: "The marriage between Xi Honglei and me has been decided, and I can take Mu Yunmeng's life at any time. But I can't.
What I understand is why even Yunshang wants to..."
"Po'er, do you know why your mother has always been at the top of the harem, and why she has always been favored by your father?" Upon hearing Ran Yunpo's question, Shu Rumei immediately smiled coldly, with cold eyes and a contemptuous tone.
: "That's because the Queen Mother is so ruthless to her enemies, because the Queen Mother understands that she must kill others before others kill herself!"
Shu Rumei's voice gradually rose, and Ran Yunpo did not dare to interrupt. He could only stand there and listen to Shu Rumei's words silently.
"Ran Yunshang has been with Po'er these years, but you must not forget what happened before! You must not forget who her mother is! You must not forget who she was with before! As for that Mu Yunmeng,
You can't be merciful even more. Although your father doesn't take him seriously now, he still hasn't been executed after so many years. As long as Mu Yunmeng doesn't die, the mother's heart will never be at peace.
.Po'er, if you want to win the throne, you have to get rid of these two people, do you understand?!"
"……clear."
Ran Yunshang, who had been hiding in the rockery, clearly heard the conversation between Shu Rumei and Ran Yunpo. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands, fearing that he would make any sound.
Third brother wants to kill himself, Shu Rumei wants to kill herself...
Sure enough, has this day finally arrived?
Ran Yunshang sat there nervously, not daring to take a breath or move. However, the long-term nervous tension made her body even more out of control. When Ran Yunshang accidentally moved her feet,
And when it made a faint sound when it rubbed against the stones on the ground, Ran Yunshang's face suddenly turned white. And when Ran Yunpo cautiously followed the direction of the sound and found her, Ran Yunshang's head went blank and he didn't know what to do.
It's good.
"Yun Shang? Why are you here?!" Ran Yunpo looked at Ran Yunshang in disbelief and asked with a frown.
"I... I had an argument with General Song, and I fell asleep crying here..." Ran Yunshang answered Ran Yunpo's question in a squeaky voice, and before she knew it, she was covered in cold sweat.
"Po'er, pull her out." Shu Rumei ordered with sharp eyes. After watching Ran Yunshang climb out of the rockery cave, Shu Rumei asked unceremoniously: "Since you have been here all this time, then I
Yun Shang, you also heard what Gong and Po'er just said, right?"
"Mother Huang, Yun Shang doesn't know what you are talking about, and I didn't hear the conversation between you and the Third Emperor Brother." Ran Yunshang pretended to be calm and faced Shu Rumei, and said with a guilty conscience: "Yun Shang is feeling a little unwell.
If nothing happens, Yun Shang will leave first."
"Back off?" Shu Rumei sneered, glanced sideways at Ran Yunshang, and said with a smile, "Do you think I will let you go back today?"
After saying that, Shu Rumei cast her eyes on Ran Yunpo and whispered: "Po'er, the Queen Mother will leave this matter to you. Remember to do it cleanly, do you understand?"
"Queen Mother!" Ran Yunpo looked at Shu Rumei turning around to leave, took two steps forward, and asked tangledly: "What should I do if Yun Shang disappears and my father asks about her?"
"I will take care of your father's side. Anyway, this wild girl always wants to run out of the palace. She said that she has not come back since leaving the palace. I don't know who took her away." Shu Rumei said to Ran Yunpo indifferently.
Having made up his mind, he left without any regrets.
Ran Yunchang watched Shu Rumei leave. Hearing Shu Rumei's words about wanting to kill him, Ran Yunchang pursed his lips, looked at Ran Yunpo pitifully, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Third brother, I can't do anything."
I won’t say it, I…”
Before Ran Yunshang could finish his words, he was hit by Ran Yunshang on the back of the neck and lost his intuition. Ran Yunshang caught Ran Yunshang's limp body, carefully looked at the scene around him, then picked up Ran Yunshang and left quickly.
.
Xi Honglei walked slowly towards the place where Song Zixuan said Ran Yunshang was, but after arriving there, Ran Yunshang was never found.
Calling Ran Yunshang's name loudly, Xi Honglei carefully searched every rockery. After confirming that Ran Yunshang was not here, Xi Honglei had no choice but to return to her and Ran Yunshang's residence.
"General Song, why are you still here?" Xi Honglei looked at Song Zixuan who had not left yet in slight surprise. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: "I didn't find the princess. I must have woken up and ran to where.
No need to worry, general."
"Well, in that case Song will leave first." When Song Zixuan heard what Xi Honglei said, he nodded hesitantly, and left the palace uneasily and returned to the general's mansion.
After Song Zixuan left, Xi Honglei had been worried about what the emotionally unstable Ran Yunshang would be like now. However, the palace was so big and Xi Honglei had not walked around the palace a few times, so she had no way to find Ran Yunshang and had to stay.
Waiting for Ran Yunshang to come back.
Time passed slowly, and as the sky slowly darkened, Xi Honglei's uneasiness became more and more obvious.
"Hua'er, you wait here for me. If the princess comes back, you tell her that I have something to see her and ask her not to leave. Do you understand?" Xi Honglei pulled Hua'er and Zheng Siqi in front of him.
, ordered with a frown.
"Hua'er understands."
"Siqi, come with me to find the princess." Although Xi Honglei didn't have any hope for Zheng Siqi, he felt that Zheng Siqi was Leng Xiao's person and should be more or less familiar with the palace.
After whispering the reason for the incident to Zheng Siqi, Xi Honglei said worriedly: "Although nothing unexpected will happen to the princess in the palace, it would be better for us to find her as soon as possible."
"But the palace is so big, how can we find it with just you and me?" Zheng Siqi looked at Xi Honglei in embarrassment, "I think you are thinking too much. Ran Yunshang will come back after she has had enough trouble. I will come back first.
I will accompany you to the place where she disappeared, and then to other places. If we can't find it, we will go back and wait. This palace is her home, and no one can do anything to her. She must be making trouble.
What about your temper?"
"That's the only way..." Xi Honglei nodded helplessly. After all, Zheng Siqi's words made sense. After Ran Yunshang has cried enough and figured it out, he will come back. Ran Yunshang's cheerful and open-minded personality should not be a problem for him.
This little setback is what hurts her. She had known for a long time that Song Zixuan was engaged, but she never gave up. How could she be so shocked and lost because of Song Zixuan's few words?
Xi Honglei and Zheng Siqi looked around the Imperial Garden and the rockery group together. There was no trace of Ran Yunshang, so they had to go back to the palace to wait for Ran Yunshang to appear.
From dusk to dawn, I couldn't sleep all night, and suddenly I felt like something bad was going on.
"Hua'er, Siqi, you two go back and rest first. I will call you if anything happens." Xi Honglei sent the two of them away in confusion, then stood up and paced around the room.
Based on her understanding of Ran Yunshang, Ran Yunshang would never stay away all night because of such a thing. What happened to Ran Yunshang?
Xi Honglei tried her best to calm down and guessed the reason why Ran Yunshang was missing. In this palace, Ran Yunshang can be said to be a domineering and barbaric princess who no one else dares to say anything to her. Anyone who can suppress her can also
There are only the emperor and the queen. And the one who has trouble with Ran Yunshang is...
Shaking her head, Xi Honglei told herself not to think about the worst. There was no need for the queen to take action against Ran Yunshang at this time. She and Ran Yunpo were not married yet. Even if Ran Yunpo was planning to seize the throne in the future, he would have to wait until he was killed.
He would only do it after marrying into the family. After all, without the support and help of the prime minister and others, it would be inconvenient for him to do many things.
Xi Honglei stayed in the room uneasily until Zheng Siqi broke in.
"If I remember correctly, I should have warned you to knock on the door before entering my room." Xi Honglei looked at Zheng Siqi displeased and said in a cold voice.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Zheng Siqi closed the door with her backhand, strode to Xi Honglei's side, leaned into Xi Honglei's ear, and whispered a few words.
"What did you say?!" After hearing Zheng Siqi's words, Xi Honglei took two steps back excitedly, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Zheng Siqi in shock.
"This is what our people have seen with their own eyes, and it can't be wrong." Zheng Siqi looked at Xi Honglei calmly and asked: "What are you going to do? Shu Rumei plans to kill Ran Yunshang, and you have no way to interfere in this matter.
hand."
"I know..." Xi Honglei nodded feebly. She knew, how could she not know?! But even if she couldn't intervene, she still had to intervene. She couldn't just watch Ran Yunshang die like this!
"Do you know where they took the princess?" Xi Honglei secretly clenched her fists, stared into Zheng Siqi's eyes, and asked, "Can you contact your accomplices outside the palace now?"
"I think if the people guarding outside the palace saw it, they would follow him, but it's difficult to contact them now."
Xi Honglei bit her lower lip and closed her eyes with a headache. She had to leave the palace now, otherwise if she delayed it any longer, maybe Ran Yunshang would... But she needed permission from the emperor or queen, Ran Yunpo, to leave the palace, otherwise she wouldn't be able to leave the palace.
There is such a clear way to break out. Ran Yunpo is not in the palace now. The only one she can find is the emperor or the queen. What should she do to escape...?!
