"Forget it, just go to your father and ask for his opinion." Shu Rumei thought for a while and whispered. Then she walked to Mu Yunmeng and confirmed the situation in front of her uneasily.
It was indeed Mu Yunmeng who was right, so he and Ran Yunpo left the dungeon together.
Mu Yunmeng was beheaded in public in the daytime, so it was not appropriate for Shu Rumei to come forward. However, because Shu Rumei was too worried about this matter, she had no choice but to let Ran Yunpo execute Mu Yunmeng as soon as possible, and then send Mu to prevent further trouble.
Only when Yunmeng's body was burned, it was absolutely confirmed that he was really dead, and Shu Rumei's heart could finally be settled.
Ran Yunpo was not as worried as Shu Rumei. After sending Shu Rumei back to the palace, Ran Yunpo returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. After sleeping until dawn, Ran Yunpo entered the palace in a happy mood and told Ran Fenghe that he wanted to live there.
Unexpectedly, Ran Fenghe agreed to the matter of killing Mu Yunmeng after thinking about it for a while, and personally issued an imperial edict to Ran Yunpo.
Ran Yunpo held the imperial edict in his hand and silently sighed at his mother's thoughtfulness. Presumably the mother must have communicated with his father in advance, so his father agreed so happily to execute Mu Yunmeng. Ran Yunpo only had to think about it later.
Seeing Mu Yunmeng die with his own eyes, he felt so good that he could not express it.
No matter what, after so many years, the person who won in the end was Ran Yunpo.
Ran Yunpo personally went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and brought Mu Yunmeng, who had lost consciousness, to the execution ground. Ran Yunpo sat on a long, wide chair, played with the thumb ring on his hand, and looked contemptuously at Mu Yunmeng, who was kneeling not far away.
Ran Yunpo went to deal with Mu Yunmeng's affairs early in the morning, and Xi Honglei was not idle either. The queen sent people to the Prince of Chu's Mansion and said she wanted to see Xi Honglei. So whether Xi Honglei wanted to or not, she would
He had to go to the palace to see Shu Rumei. Moreover, the queen also said that Xi Honglei only wanted to go alone. There was no reason for Feng Rusong to follow Xi Honglei, so Xi Honglei could only go alone.
.
Xi Honglei looked at the sedan parked at the door of the palace, and sat on it with mixed emotions. He staggered into the palace along the way, and when he saw Shu Rumei, Xi Honglei knelt on the ground in fear, lowered his head and said, "See you, Honglei
More than the Queen."
"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pay such a courtesy." Shu Rumei smiled brightly and asked Xi Honglei to stand up. Then he pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Xi Honglei to sit over.
Xi Honglei sat next to Shu Rumei and asked softly: "I wonder if there is something wrong with your Majesty calling Honglei here today?"
"No, I just haven't seen you for a few days and I have some thoughts." Shu Rumei shook her head and sighed softly. "Your mother has been missing for so long and still has no whereabouts. I have always felt guilty and ashamed.
As for you mother and daughter. Seeing that your marriage to Po'er is approaching, I and the Emperor are also very happy. It's just that there are too many trivial things to deal with, so I haven't kept calling you into the palace. It's hard to get out today.
It's time to finally have a good chat with you."
Shu Rumei took the initiative to mention Lin Wanru, which changed Xi Honglei's mood. Xi Honglei looked at Shu Rumei gloomily, pursed his lower lip, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern, Madam.
Up to now, there is still no news about my mother. Everyone has tried every possible way and searched everywhere. I can only pray that my mother is fine and that she can be my mother and daughter.
I'm so worried about everything, Hong Lei really doesn't know..."
"We are all one family, so don't talk about two families." Shu Rumei interrupted Xi Honglei's words and gently stroked Xi Honglei's head. The topic changed and Mu Yunmeng was mentioned. "I heard that
Is that kid Yunmeng going to be beheaded today?"
"Well, I heard the prince mentioned this matter." Xi Honglei nodded, then looked at Shu Rumei with a tangled expression, and said, "I didn't expect him to get to this point."
"How do you say this?" When Shu Rumei heard what Xi Honglei said, she immediately asked with interest: "Does Honglei and Mu Yunmeng have a good relationship?"
"It's too good to say that we have a good relationship, but we have been in contact before." Xi Honglei met Shu Rumei's gaze and explained: "To be honest, Madam, Honglei had previously helped Mu Yunmeng investigate the murder case secretly on the orders of Princess Yunshang.
.”
"It seems you helped Mu Yunmeng investigate more than just that one case, right?" Shu Rumei asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty is very aware of everything, and Honglei doesn't dare lie to her. I have helped him, and it's true that it's not just one or two things. It's because of these things that the prince is angry, and even doubts my relationship with Mu Yunmeng. So Honglei
This time I planned to catch Mu Yunmeng personally, just so that the prince could believe in my innocence."
"So many things have happened during this period, it's no wonder that Po'er doubts you." Shu Rumei observed Xi Honglei with sharp eyes, and continued to ask: "I also heard that Honglei seems to be the same as the man named Honglei in the world.
Who is Leng Xiao’s person involved? Tell me what’s going on?”
Shu Rumei's question made Xi Honglei's heart sink suddenly, and she secretly took a breath. She had long expected that Shu Rumei would ask her these things one day, but when it really happened, Xi Honglei
Tears are inevitable but I still feel a little flustered.
Xi Honglei did not do what Mu Yunmeng told her. She still came to see Shu Rumei alone, without Feng Ruosong or Zheng Siqi. Xi Honglei was even a little scared, afraid of her own
If he says something wrong, Shu Rumei will kill himself, just like killing the emperor, and then find someone to replace him, as if nothing happened.
Xi Honglei stood up and knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and said in fear: "Please calm down, my queen."
"What's going on? Get up and talk properly." Shu Rumei didn't expect Xi Honglei to kneel down and raised her eyebrows, signaling Xi Honglei to stand up.
"Back to the Queen, that Leng Xiao has indeed appeared several times, and the prince also knows these things. But Honglei really doesn't know him, and I don't know why he came to approach me."
The fear on Xi Honglei's face was completely seen by Shu Rumei. Shu Ru looked at Xi Honglei intently and said with a smile, "You don't know me, do you?" Then before Xi Honglei had even seen it, Shu Ru
When he had time to answer, he stretched out his hand to pull Xi Honglei up and said: "I just asked casually, why are you so nervous."
"Empress, Honglei has to be nervous about this matter." Xi Honglei looked at Shu Rumei with a solemn expression and said, "Who is Leng Xiao? Honglei has more or less heard the Ninth Prince and others mention it.
Honglei is afraid that he has some motive for showing up, and she is even more afraid that he will be used by him unknowingly. If the prince is harmed in any way because of me, then Honglei will deserve death."
After Xi Honglei finished speaking, Shu Rumei was silent for a long time. Shu Rumei kept staring at Xi Honglei's injured shoulder, and then sighed heavily. Taking Xi Honglei's hand, Shu Rumei said earnestly:
"Honglei, Po'er is about to ascend the throne. I don't need to say more about what his identity will be in the future, and what your identity will be in the future. You already know it. I've watched you and Po'er go all the way.
In my eyes, I think you all know how much this kid Po'er cares about you now. I have always thought you are a smart girl, and there are still many days to come. I hope you can always be like you are now.
, assist Po'er and help Po'er so that he can become a good emperor, do you understand?"
"Honglei understands." Xi Honglei nodded repeatedly and said with firm eyes: "Honglei will definitely work hard and not let the empress down."
"That's good, then I'll be relieved." Shu Rumei let go of Xi Honglei's hand, walked slowly to the bed and sat down. "I'm a little tired, so you can go back first. If anything happens,
, I will send someone to inform you to come into the palace again."
Shu Rumei gave the eviction order, Xi Honglei naturally turned around and left without any delay. She was also glad that she finally saved her life. Since Shu Rumei called her in front of her and asked those questions, it means that Shu Rumei
He is still suspicious of her. So Xi Honglei doesn't think he can deceive Shu Rumei just by relying on his one-sided words. Shu Rumei will definitely investigate herself and Leng Xiao secretly.
, sooner or later, this matter will be exposed. So all Xi Honglei can do is lie one day at a time.
Xi Honglei returned to the palace and waited quietly for Ran Yunpo to bring back the news of Mu Yunmeng's execution. It was not until noon that Xi Honglei saw Ran Yunpo who had returned with a happy face.
"Mu Yunmeng died, is the prince so happy?" Xi Honglei sat on the chair, tilting his head and looking at Ran Yunpo and asked.
"Aren't you happy that he died?" Ran Yunpo asked.
"The prince is happy, and Honglei is naturally happy." Xi Honglei stood up and poured a cup of tea for Ran Yunpo, "I can't say how happy Honglei is to be able to help the prince remove a thorn in his heart."
Xi Honglei's words made Ran Yunpo, who was already excited, become even happier. He looked at Xi Honglei with a smile on his face. Ran Yunpo drank the tea Xi Honglei handed him in one gulp, then stood up and said to Xi Honglei
Tears said: "Take good care of your injuries. When you are well, I will reward you well in a few days."
Ran Yunpo left such words and strode away. Seeing how hurried he was coming and going, Xi Honglei did not try to persuade Ran Yunpo to stay. He was just a little melancholy about Ran Yunpo's words that he would be rewarded in a few days.
If he wanted to reward her with something good, he might as well reward her now. After a few days, Xi Honglei was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get it.
A picture of a large number of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin flying away appeared in Xi Honglei's mind, and she sighed feebly. She had tried her best and worked desperately here, but she didn't see any benefit. This kind of
The days of being on tenterhooks and worrying about losing her head every day have really been enough for Xi Hongli. If she could, she really hoped not to stay at the foot of the imperial city for a moment. Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. The moment she came to this world
Starting from now on, some things are a foregone conclusion. Xi Honglei understands that if she wants to change the status quo, she will have to pay the price...
