"Since you have thought so clearly, you may have figured out the reason and purpose of why I asked you to go back to the capital?" Mu Yunmeng smiled meaningfully after hearing Xi Honglei's sarcasm, and continued to ask.
road.
"You just want to deal with Prince Chu and the Queen. I have no other value that can be used by you, right?!" A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xi Honglei's mouth. He looked at Mu Yunmeng intently, and when Xi
After Honglei saw Mu Yunmeng nodding his head unabashedly, she could only remain silent and couldn't say anything.
"I just like your cleverness." Mu Yunmeng stood up with satisfaction and walked out. When he reached the door, Mu Yunmeng pushed open the door and did not walk out of the room immediately, but stopped.
, turned his head, looked into Xi Honglei's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your wedding date with Prince Chu is coming soon. You should be well prepared when you go back."
After Mu Yunmeng finished speaking, he closed the door and left without looking back. So he didn't see Xi Honglei's face turn pale at that moment, or his tightly clenched fists.
After Mu Yunmeng left, Xi Honglei spent a long time trying to calm herself down. But she couldn't control the pain in her heart.
Go back and prepare well for the wedding with Prince Chu.
hehe.
Xi Hong's tears tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she smiled coldly. It was his fault that Mu Yunmeng could say such words.
Her mind went blank, Xi Honglei slowly climbed onto the bed, covered her face with the quilt, and lay there quietly. Even when Feng Rusong came to ask her to have dinner, Xi Honglei didn't even move.
He closed his eyes tightly and paid no attention to anyone.
At dawn the next day, Xi Honglei, Mu Yunmeng and Shu Kuang headed towards the capital together. Because they did not disguise themselves or make any preparations, they entered the capital from the checkpoint in an open and honest manner.
The news of their return soon reached Ran Yunpo's ears.
Ran Yunpo rushed to the palace as quickly as possible. He did not expect that Xi Honglei and Mu Yunmeng would have the courage to come back.
"Is this the Thousand-Handed Thief you are talking about?" Ran Fenghe sat on the dragon chair, looking down at Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei who were kneeling on the ground, as well as another man behind them, and asked Mu
Yunmeng.
"Yes, that's him." Mu Yunmeng nodded and answered Ran Fenghe's question. "This time, Xi Honglei used a trick to lure him into the trap, so we were able to capture him."
Mu Yunmeng attributed all the credit to Xi Honglei, which made Ran Fenghe nod with satisfaction. Looking at Xi Honglei, Ran Fenghe thought for a while and said: "Honglei, you go out first, when you arrive
Wait for me outside."
"Honglei obeys the decree." When Xi Honglei heard what Ran Fenghe said, she quickly got up and walked outside the hall. But to her surprise, she saw Ran Yunpo as soon as she went out.
Seeing Ran Yunpo standing in front with a gloomy expression, Xi Honglei paused, then smiled slightly and walked slowly over. "Honglei has met Prince Chu."
Seeing Xi Honglei, Ran Yunpo bowed to himself in a polite manner and snorted disdainfully. "You still know how to come back?"
"Honglei's home is here, why don't you come back?" Xi Honglei replied matter-of-factly, then looked at Ran Yunpo doubtfully and asked, "Is the prince here to see the emperor?"
Xi Honglei's flawless expression and answers made it impossible for Ran Yunpo to show off his power to her for no reason, let alone tell her that the reason why he appeared here was because of her and Mu Yunmeng. Ran Yunpo said coldly
He glanced at the palace behind Xi Honglei and nodded slowly, "Who is inside now?"
"Mu Yunmeng and the prisoner are alienated. I'm afraid the prince will have to wait for a while." Xi Honglei spoke to Ran Yunpo with a natural expression, as if everything was the same as before. She and Mu Yunmeng did not leave in front of Ran Yunpo.
Nothing unpleasant happened.
Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei and looked at Xi Honglei who was thinner than before. Ran Yunpo didn't know why, but there was a hint of joy in his heart. During the time when Xi Honglei and Mu Yunmeng went out, he didn't live a happy life.
Good days.
"Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go back to Prince Chu's Mansion?" Ran Yunpo returned to reality from his meditation, looking at Xi Honglei, "Are you still waiting for Mu Yunmeng?"
"Why should I wait for him? The mission entrusted to me by the Emperor has been completed, and I have nothing to do with him. Prince, please don't think about it." Xi Honglei saw that Ran Yunpo brought the topic to Mu Yunmeng, and quickly explained:
"I'm here because of the emperor's orders. He said he would have something to do with me later, so I can't leave."
Xi Honglei's answer made Ran Yunpo breath a silent sigh of relief. The two took two steps forward and then leaned against the wall side by side. Ran Yunpo was in a complicated mood and his mind was confused. Xi Honglei was not much better than him.
Ran Fenghe took a serious look at the two people kneeling on the ground. After asking Mu Yunmeng to stand up, Ran Fenghe ordered the "Thousand-Handed Thief" to raise his head. After seeing his appearance clearly, Ran Fenghe was enveloped in a strong murderous aura.
, asked: "But you are spreading rumors, saying that you know about the murder of the princess, and saying that you want to steal the dragon marrow jade of my royal family?"
"Back to the emperor, it is indeed a common people." Shu Kuang knelt on the ground and answered Ran Fenghe's question. "But there is a reason why the common people said this. Because if he didn't say that I wanted to steal the dragon marrow jade, the emperor would not have sent anyone here.
Catch me. There’s no way I can see the Emperor here even if I’m crazy.”
"Oh? So you said that on purpose because you wanted to see me? Then I would like to hear what you want to say after meeting me?" Ran Fenghe felt funny at Shu Kuang's words and sat on the dragon chair.
Ran Fenghe looked at Shu Kuang with a contemptuous expression and asked.
"The common people want to tell the emperor something that the emperor doesn't know about." Shu Kuang lowered his voice, looked at Ran Fenghe cautiously, then turned to look at Mu Yunmeng, and said with embarrassment: "Can the emperor let him go first?"
go out?"
Shukuang's request made Ran Fenghe frown. Because he wanted to know the cause of Yun Shang's death before, he had already cleared out all the servants in the room, leaving only the three of them here. But now Shukuang actually proposed to take Mu's death.
Yunmeng also asked him to go out. Ran Fenghe was worried about what tricks he was playing, and curious about what would happen if he really told the truth.
After thinking for a while, Ran Fenghe nodded and agreed to Shu Kuang's conditions. After signaling Mu Yunmeng to leave, Ran Fenghe touched his chin with interest, looked at Shu Kuang, whose hands and feet were chained, and said: "There is no one else now, you
If you want to say anything, just say it.”
"Your Majesty, what the people want to tell you is the true cause of the princess' death and who killed her." Shukuang looked at Ran Fenghe with burning eyes, licked his dry lower lip, and whispered: "Even if the Emperor doesn't
If you believe in the grass-roots people, please listen to the grass-roots people before beheading the grass-roots people."
"Okay! I promise you!"
"The person who killed the princess was none other than the current queen." Shu Kuang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to tell the truth of the matter under Ran Fenghe's gaze.
"Presumptuous! How dare you to slander the queen?!"
As soon as Shu Kuang's words were spoken, Ran Fenghe immediately became furious and started clapping the case.
"Your Majesty, haven't you promised the grass-roots people that even if you want to kill the grass-roots people, you have to wait for the grass-roots people to finish everything they have to say?" When Shukuang saw Ran Fenghe being so angry, he said it was a lie to say he was not afraid. After all, this was what he was doing in front of him.
The emperor above all others.
"Okay, okay. You keep talking! I want to see what other nonsense you can come up with!" Ran Fenghe nodded angrily, sat down on the chair again, and agreed to let Shu Kuang continue talking.
"Caomin knew that the emperor would not believe what Caomin said, but this was really the truth. Because the princess knew something she shouldn't know, the queen was cruel to the princess and took her out of the palace and killed her brutally. These
Someone has seen it with his own eyes. If the emperor is interested in asking, he can send someone to check it out. A big thing happened in the capital a few days ago. That is all the beggars in the capital, which is what people in the world say.
The disciples of the Beggar Clan were all killed and silenced in a short period of time. It was rumored that this was done by a man named 'Leng Xiao'. But in fact, this was not the case."
"What does this matter have to do with the death of the princess?" Ran Fenghe couldn't help but become a little impatient when he heard that Shu Kuang had changed the topic to other matters.
"Of course it has something to do with it, because who took the princess out of the palace, and who killed the princess in the middle of the night. These were all seen by the disciples of the Beggar Clan. Almost everyone in the world knows it, and the news is the most
The ones who are well-informed and spread the fastest are the children of the Beggar Gang. If this news is really spread by them, what will happen? So the murderer had no choice but to kill all the beggars in the city.
To kill people and silence them.”
What Shu Kuang said was clear and logical, and Ran Fenghe couldn't stop him from talking indiscriminately. Clenching his fists, Ran Fenghe looked at Shu Kuang with a solemn expression and continued to ask: "You mean, those beggars who died in the capital,
Is it all because of the queen? What did you just say that the princess knows that she shouldn’t know? "
"Your Majesty, this... common people don't dare to say it." Shu Kuang's eyes flashed, he lowered his head, glanced at Ran Fenghe in fear, and then hesitantly opened his mouth and said such a sentence.
"I tell you to say it, just say it!"
"What the princess knows is..." Seeing that the emperor was determined to know the truth, Shu Kuang had no choice but to risk his life and said with fear: "It is the truth that the queen once killed two empresses in the palace. That's why she was brutally killed.
disaster."
Ran Fenghe was immediately stunned by his wild words, because two people had indeed died in the palace over the years. But how did he know?
