Chen'er made a fuss and refused to sleep, so Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei followed him and asked him to sit in the middle and listen to their conversation.
Mu Yunmeng glanced at Xi Honglei and said proactively: "The one you saw cannot be the red scarf. Although the disguise skills of Lin Yi and others are superb, there are always flaws. Yang Xiang succeeded back then. Afterwards, just in case, not only the body was examined, but the head of the red scarf was also removed..."
Mu Yunmeng was talking when he suddenly stopped, glanced at Chen'er, and swallowed what he said later. "In short, Hong Jin is definitely dead, there is no doubt about it. I think they must have made this move this time. Shu Rumei or Ran Yunpo want to do something again, we just have to be on guard and don't worry too much."
"What about Shen Binfeng's letter?" Xi Honglei nodded, still struggling with Shen Binfeng's matter.
"It's very simple. There seems to be nothing wrong with the content of the letter, but after it is soaked in a special potion, the content will change. Although Shen Binfeng looks inconspicuous, he is a rare talent. Ran Yunpo couldn't help but It’s a pity to know how to employ people.”
Mu Yunmeng's words made Xi Honglei also feel a little emotional. Mu Yunmeng and Ran Yunpo grew up together. They grew up in the same environment at the beginning. Even if something happened later, Mu Yun Meng left the palace, but for Ran Yunpo, it was a better opportunity to beat Mu Yunmeng.
Ran Yunpo came into contact with many people, and had many opportunities to draw generals to his side. However, looking around, Xi Honglei did not see anyone particularly powerful around Ran Yunpo. The only outstanding people were Lin Yi and others. , was also the former subordinate of Shu Rumei. This can completely explain something, that is, Ran Yunpo is not the material to be the emperor.
Although Ran Yunpo has managed the Xuanxuan Kingdom well over the years, after this fight, Xi Honglei can feel that it will not be too difficult for Mu Yunmeng to defeat Ran Yunpo again. Unless Shu Rumei is there What unexpected move will he make to turn the whole situation upside down, otherwise Ran Yunpo will definitely lose. Xi Honglei is a little curious about Mu Yunmeng. Xi Honglei can't understand why he has done so much. After what happened, apart from wanting revenge, did he really not have any greed for the throne? That was the throne, a position that everyone in the world longed for and dreamed of, but what about him?
Xi Honglei thought this, and did not hide her thoughts, so she asked directly. After listening to Xi Honglei's question, Mu Yunmeng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly said: "The throne, it's not that I haven't thought about it. , but after all these years, I feel like it’s nothing special.”
Mu Yunmeng's arrogant tone made Xi Honglei laugh silently. The world is so big that there are only a few people who can say something like "the throne is nothing special."
"From the time I can remember, my daily life has been very regular, and everything has been arranged. At that time, I was young, and I heard too much flattery from others, so I had the idea of becoming the emperor. And this idea came to my mind after my mother died. Later, when I was expelled from the palace, I felt the strongest."
Mu Yunmeng leaned on the soft couch, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at Xi Honglei, mother and son, and speaking slowly, he talked about his experiences that he didn't want to remember again.
"Whether it is Ran Yunpo or Fu Yufeng, I have seen too many people who want their lives and kill them. They live in fear. Even if they hold great power, they are not comfortable. Even if I
, and it’s very clear.”
He is not the emperor, but his life is not much better than that of the emperor. He was once treated as a prince and was flattered and pursued by everyone. After his life plummeted, Mu Yunmeng, who was young, also thought about whether he was going to die.
Would it be better? But no matter how frustrated you are, it can't compete with the hatred in your heart. Every time he closes his eyes, the image of Mu Ziyi when he died appears in his mind, and Mu Yunmeng will not be reconciled. Why is the only one in the world even
He can't protect even those who are good to him?
After all kinds of efforts, he finally found the group of people around him. But Mu Yunmeng never relaxed in his heart, because these people were personally selected by him, so he knew their strength better. In order to prevent himself from being plotted, he could
What you do is to make yourself stronger.
How many days and nights without rest, how many windy and rainy days, practicing wielding a sword alone. When the power becomes more and more powerful, when there are more and more people around, when the goal in the heart becomes clearer and clearer, then
The dream of being an emperor gradually left him.
Mu Yunmeng had planned every step he took. But the appearance of Xi Honglei was a surprise to him. Shu Kuang once said something in the years after Xi Honglei disappeared.
Shu Kuang said that he could steal all the treasures in the world, but there was one thing that he couldn't get his hands on. That was the thing in Xi Honglei's mind.
Shukuang's evaluation of Xi Honglei was that he was a smarter thief than him. When Shu Kuang said these words, Bai Moyue and others were also present, but no one said anything. Xi Honglei's method of protecting himself was not
She is clever, but every time she saves herself from danger, she can make these onlookers applaud. With a head, a mouth, and red tears, she transformed from a fool who was ridiculed by everyone to what she is now.
It was something that no one, including Mu Yunmeng, had expected. So Mu Yunmeng is even thinking now, why did Xi Honglei become like this? Or is it that everything in the past was done by her in order to protect herself?
A play?
"The reason why Shen Binfeng's letter can be sent is not just because of his involvement. Generally speaking, it takes at least one day for a letter from the palace to be sent. Maybe Lei'er can figure out the reason for this?"
Mu Yunmeng came back from his thoughts, looked at Xi Honglei, and asked.
Xi Honglei listened to him, thought for a while, her eyes flashed, and she asked dubiously: "Is it possible that the person responsible for delivering the letter... was also bribed by you?!"
"Smart." Mu Yunmeng chuckled softly and boasted without any concealment. "It's not difficult to win over people's hearts. Few people will remain unswayed by ensuring his safety and giving him what he wants.
As long as you give a lot of money, someone will be willing to do things for you. Whether you are an official or a slave, it is just for food. It is a pity that Ran Yunpo has been in the palace for so many years, but he has not been able to understand this truth. It is really
It’s a pity.”
As soon as Mu Yunmeng finished speaking, Xi Honglei immediately nodded in agreement. She understood this truth very well. The shopping mall was like a battlefield. Xi Honglei had fought hard for so many years, and finally snatched back his own company.
, I have used this method too many times.
"I came into the palace today, and what I want to tell you is that Ran Yunpo's people have arrived in the Zizi Kingdom, and they have to act more appropriately. There may be some chaos in the palace recently, so watch the child and don't let him make any mistakes. I
I have to leave the city tomorrow and won’t come into the palace to see you again. So..."
"Understood." Xi Honglei accepted Mu Yunmeng's words and nodded gently. "Qiu Shitian also showed up recently. I can almost guess the truth of some things."
What remains is the question of who to kill and avenge Lin Wanru. As long as all this ends, she can leave here completely...
Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei were talking in a low voice. After a long time, Chen'er fell asleep unconsciously. Finally, her body tilted and fell into Xi Honglei's arms. Mu Yunmeng watched.
Xi Honglei gently picked up Chen'er and walked to the bed. He slowly stood up and followed her.
After Xi Honglei put Chen'er down, she turned around and ran into Mu Yunmeng's arms.
"Don't make trouble." Xi Honglei frowned and scolded Mu Yunmeng in a low voice. Gently pushing him away, Xi Honglei wanted to go further, but failed.
"I am not responsible for waking up Chen'er." Mu Yunmeng looked deeply at Xi Honglei in front of him, glanced in Chen'er's direction, and whispered.
Xi Honglei was forced by Mu Yunmeng and retreated step by step. Finally, Mu Yunmeng forced her to become anxious and thought about taking action. "Are you asking for a beating?"
"My temper is getting worse. What will I do next?" Mu Yunmeng teased Xi Honglei with a smile, then took out something from his arms and threw it into Xi Honglei's hand. Xi Honglei was surprised.
While watching, he said: "Dragon marrow jade, a life-saving thing, you should carry it with you."
Mu Yunmeng's words made Xi Honglei's eyes widen in an instant. She knew that Mu Yunmeng had put a lot of effort into stealing this thing, and she also knew the importance of this thing to Xuanxuan Kingdom. Ran Fenghe separated the dragon marrow jade back then.
It was kept in several different places, and Cheng Xi Mansion was one of them. Mu Yunmeng actually gave it to himself...?
"You didn't give it to Mu Zichen?!"
"I'm not that generous. The one I gave him was fake." Mu Yunmeng told the truth happily, making Xi Honglei take a breath. "There is a reason why dragon marrow jade is so important.
If Shu Rumei really makes a move on Chen'er, she will exchange this for her son's life. Shu Rumei will definitely agree."
When the dragon marrow jade was lost, Shu Rumei and others were very angry and heartbroken. The dragon marrow jade was a treasure passed down for generations, and it became a symbol of the royal family of Xuanxuan Kingdom invisibly.
When the dragon marrow jade was stolen, in order to stabilize their ministers' hearts, Shu Rumei and the others thought of a way to fake it and made fake ones to fool everyone. But the fake ones were fake after all, and the role of the dragon marrow jade itself also made
Shu Rumei and Ran Yunpo never gave up searching for its whereabouts. Although Xi Honglei didn't know much about it, she had heard some rumors about Dragon Marrow Jade.
It is said that this dragon marrow jade is also a key, which can open a secret room somewhere in the palace. As for what is placed in the secret room, there are different opinions. The most reliable one that Xi Honglei heard is that the secret room is
Among them are personal and secret letters left by emperors of various dynasties and passed down to future generations.
The development of Xuanxuan Kingdom to this day is definitely not due to luck alone. How to govern the country, what are the shortcomings of each dynasty and each generation, who intends to rebel, and who collaborates with the enemy and treason but survives, all affect every current emperor.
political achievements.
They don't want the scandals of the royal family to be spread to outsiders. They don't want their ability to govern the country to fall into the hands of outsiders. Maybe there are other more important things in this secret room, maybe there are more things about the ancestors of the Ran family that cannot be seen.
Secrets, so when these things have a chance to be leaked and known to outsiders, they will be so anxious and afraid.
