"Your Majesty, I have always thought that you are a smart person. But there is a saying that is right. Sometimes this person will be smart for a lifetime and confused for a moment."
Xi Honglei's teasing made Ran Yunpo's face darken. Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei with gloomy eyes and said nothing. Seeing his expression, Xi Honglei quickly explained: "Your Majesty, Mu Yunmeng has such great power.
If he dies, will all his subordinates really come to me for revenge immediately?"
"You killed Mu Yunmeng. If they don't seek revenge from you, who else will they seek revenge from?" Ran Yunpo still didn't understand the meaning of Xi Honglei's words.
"Your Majesty, let me ask you. If the Emperor of Xixi Kingdom dies, will his sons immediately go to find out whether he died by himself? Was he killed by someone else? Or... will they fight to get there first?
To seize the throne?"
Xi Honglei was embarrassed to use Ran Yunpo as an example, because she knew that if she really said that Ran Yunpo was dead, the emperor who had been pampered and arrogant since he was a child would never be happy. So Xi Honglei simply changed his words and said
This example is used on Fu Yufeng, who has never been seen before.
"I'm sure that if I kill Mu Yunmeng, his many subordinates will definitely plot against each other and hope that I will sit in Mu Yunmeng's position. I can completely kill each other during this period of time.
, and fled. What's more, Your Majesty, I can't leave clues so easily for his people to hunt me down."
After Xi Honglei finished speaking, before Ran Yunpo could say anything, a strange yet familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Why did Mu Yunmeng kill your mother? I want to hear the reason."
Shu Rumei pushed the door open and walked in. She had obviously been listening outside for a while. Shu Rumei strode up to Xi Honglei and glanced at Xi Honglei. Finally, she snorted and smiled with arrogance.
He looked at Xi Honglei in a sultry manner, and sarcastically said: "Didn't Mu Yunmeng protect you like a treasure? How could he have the heart to kill your mother?"
"Even if I am a treasure, I am someone who has been used and thrown away by him. Queen Mother, I sigh red tears and think that this head is still of some use. In comparison, the position of the prince of the Xixi Kingdom is of no use to Mu Yun.
From a Mongolian perspective, it is obviously much more attractive."
Xi Honglei knew when Shu Rumei appeared outside the door. Xi Honglei looked at Shu Rumei neither humble nor overbearing, and glanced at Xi Hongli behind her.
"The one Mu Yunmeng really wanted to kill back then was me. My mother blocked that sword for me in exchange for my life. So Mu Yunmeng, I must kill you. The Queen Mother, please join hands with me to deal with you."
As far as I'm concerned, there is no harm. If I guessed correctly, the emperor should be planning to send troops to attack Zizi recently, right?"
Xi Honglei's guess made Ran Yunpo, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly startled.
How did she know?
Xi Honglei noticed Ran Yunpo's subtle movements, she smiled slightly, and continued: "Xuanxuan Kingdom has obviously sent more troops to the border this year than before. Although this is just my guess, I still want to advise
The emperor told the queen mother that we cannot send out these soldiers."
"Why?" Ran Yunpo asked with a frown.
"The Zizi Kingdom needs to be conquered, but it cannot be so time-consuming and laborious. Your Majesty, the Xuanxuan Kingdom has developed into what it is now in just four years. The people of the world must have put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money.
Fill up the treasury?" Xi Honglei spoke sharply about what Ran Yunpo had done in the past few years, causing Shu Rumei next to her to listen carefully. "The people are already ready physically and mentally. At this time,
If there is any riot due to the war between the two countries, Your Majesty, that is no joke."
"What can you do?" Shu Rumei asked before Ran Yunpo could, because Shu Rumei didn't fully agree with Ran Yunpo's recent plan to send troops to attack Zizi Country. She had her worries, but Ran Yunpo couldn't.
understand.
Song Zixuan and Song Dayong are both generals in Zizi State now, and together with Murong Fenglang and others who were originally from Zizi State, it will be even more difficult to deal with. After four years of hard work, Xuanxuan State has improved, but if
If we want to fight this battle, our vitality will be greatly damaged. Although the Xixi Kingdom has always stated that they have no intention to participate in the dispute between the Xuanxuan Kingdom and the Zizi Kingdom, it is related to the national interests. In this case, who can
I believe? Shu Rumei is afraid that after they finish the war with Zizi Kingdom, even if they win, they will no longer have the strength to defend Xixi Kingdom.
"The relationship between the Queen Mother, Xuanxuan Kingdom, Zizi Kingdom and Xixi Kingdom is very delicate. Although Xixi Kingdom is the largest among the Three Kingdoms, it has never done anything beneficial to Xuanxuan Kingdom and Zizi Kingdom.
Instead, he has been controlling everything between Xuanxuan Kingdom and Zizi Kingdom. It can be said that if Xuanxuan Kingdom and Zizi Kingdom fight, then the fisherman will benefit from none other than Xixi Kingdom. I just said
I told the emperor that if the emperor’s betrothal gift is sufficient, the Xixi Kingdom will send Huangfu Qiong to the Xuanxuan Kingdom to bring the relationship between the Xuanxuan Kingdom and the Xixi Kingdom closer. And this so-called betrothal gift, I think, is no better than the Xuanxuan Kingdom.
It is more suitable to occupy the Zizi Kingdom. The Xixi Kingdom did not agree to join forces with the Xuanxuan Kingdom before because of the existence of Zizi Kingdom and Mu Yunmeng, because the Xuanxuan Kingdom was still too weak in their eyes. But Mu Yun
I will help you deal with it, and the Zizi Kingdom will be included in the emperor's pocket when the time comes. Then what reason does the Xixi Kingdom have to refuse? What right does it have to look down on you?"
Xi Honglei discussed the relationship between the Three Kingdoms with Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei very calmly. She tried her best to persuade Ran Yunpo not to send troops. Xi Honglei's mouth was already dry as she spoke, but when she saw
After seeing that Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei still had some doubts and hesitation in their eyes, Xi Honglei knew that she had to continue talking.
"Killing Mu Yunmeng first, and then attacking the Zizi country is a very important order. If Mu Yunmeng is not eliminated and blindly attacks the Zizi country, the Xixi Kingdom is very likely to help the Zizi country when it is in danger.
They have been trying to please Mu Yunmeng. We don’t have any reason or evidence to prove that Xixi Kingdom will never take action, right? Your Majesty, from my point of view, you can send some clever men to Zizi first.
Go to the country. After finding out all the news and situation in the Zizi country, we can also start from their insides first. As long as your men are shrewd enough, you can make a mess over there first. This is Mu Yunmeng
My favorite move is also a very useful one, why don’t we just use this move to deal with Mu Yunmeng and Zi Ziguo?”
After Xi Honglei said so much, Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei finally believed that she really wanted to kill Mu Yunmeng. Xi Honglei's change made Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei sneer in their hearts, and also secretly rejoice.
.Xi Honglei is very smart, and it would be great if she could be used. If she can really help them kill Mu Yunmeng, it will be a big help to them. If you can take advantage of this, no one will want to miss it.
.
"You go out first. If anything happens, I will summon you again." Ran Yunpo sighed secretly and said to Xi Honglei.
"Your Majesty, should I stay in the palace or live with Prince Nanjun outside the palace?" Xi Honglei asked obediently.
"Stay in the palace." Ran Yunpo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying something that satisfied Xi Honglei.
"Then let Xi Hongli take me to my apartment. My sister and I haven't seen each other for some years, and I also want to catch up with her."
Xi Honglei lowered her gaze to Xi Hongli, which made Xi Hongli feel a little uncomfortable. She had indeed not seen Xi Honglei for many years, but she did not want to see Xi Honglei again.
The former Xi Mansion and the former Xi Family were all destroyed because of Xi Honglei. If Xi Hongli had not been protected by Shu Rumei, he would have been beheaded by Ran Yunpo. Over the years, Xi Hongli would have been beheaded by Ran Yunpo.
Li was fighting for her life alone in the palace. She worked hard to make Shu Rumei trust her more and to make herself more useful to Shu Rumei. Now Xi Hongli is no longer as naive as before. She will not
She hoped that Ran Yunpo would take a second look at her and not expect that she could become a member of the harem. She only hoped that she could keep her life safely, and that was enough.
However, after she had worked hard for so long, Xi Honglei came back! How could Xi Hongli not be afraid? How could she not be on tenterhooks?
Ran Yunpo nodded and agreed to Xi Honglei's proposal. Ran Yunpo asked Xi Hongli and Xi Honglei to live in Jialing Garden. After Xi Hongli and Xi Honglei left, Ran Yunpo whispered to Shu Rumei:
"Queen Mother, what do you think of Xi Honglei taking the initiative to join us?"
"What she said is not unreasonable, but I still can't trust this girl. I'll send someone over to monitor her and wait for a few days before saying anything."
After Xi Honglei walked out of the room and stayed away from Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. But in front of Xi Hongli, she couldn't show it too obviously.
"mother!"
After Xi Zichen saw Xi Honglei coming out, he quickly ran to her side and hugged Xi Honglei's thigh. Xi Honglei leaned over and picked up Xi Zichen, and looked at Ran Yunhao and Jin Yu.
Afterwards, Xi Honglei said to Ran Yunhao: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
"Brother Huang agreed to join forces with you?" Ran Yunhao asked curiously.
"The Emperor asked me to stay in the palace, and he will tell me when he has made up his mind." Xi Honglei turned to look at Xi Hongli beside him. Seeing her staring intently at the child in her arms, Xi Honglei smiled slightly.
He smiled and said, "My son's name is Xi Zichen."
Xi Hongli twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment and swallowed the questions in her heart.
"Since Brother Huang has allowed you to stay here, I will go back first." Ran Yunhao took a step back and said to Xi Honglei: "If anything happens, you can also ask the eunuchs in the palace to come to my house to find me.
