Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo nervously and asked hopefully. However, the answer she got disappointed her.
Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo's slow movements and shook his head, then spoke softly, "Jun Wu Xiyan, how could I joke with you?" When Xi Honglei's heart sank suddenly, the two men in the main hall faced each other.
When other ministers said this, it must have spread to Shu Rumei now. Ran Yunpo blocked her way and asked her to choose between Shu Rumei and him. This mother and son
The two of them were making trouble in the nest, why would they take me with them?
"Your Majesty, please consider this matter again." Xi Honglei spoke anxiously, meeting Ran Yunpo's rather displeased gaze, and said: "Your Majesty, all the ministers know my identity. They are
If you don't agree with the emperor's decision, why should the emperor have a quarrel with them? Besides, I can't afford the position of mother of this country. So... please think again, your emperor!"
Ran Yunpo sat on the chair and looked at Xi Honglei quietly. He had just said this casually, but Xi Honglei's resistance made Ran Yunpo feel uncomfortable. Looking at the world, he wanted to be this queen.
There are many women out there! He gave her a chance, but she was eager to push it aside. What was the reason? Did she really feel that she couldn't take on the role, or was she simply not interested in the position of queen? She didn't have him in her heart.
?
"Xi Hongtear, I have already said what I said. Once I say something, it will be hard to follow. Are you trying to embarrass me?"
"Your Majesty, we can still discuss the Queen's matter, right?"
"My mind has been decided and I will not change it." Ran Yunpo stared at Xi Honglei intently, observing every change in her expression. When he saw Xi Honglei frowning in embarrassment and biting her lower lip, Ran Yunpo's heart was filled with excitement.
Anger suddenly came out of nowhere. "Get down! I don't want to see you!"
The reason Xi Honglei is here is because Ran Yunpo called her here. Now that he says he doesn't want to see her, isn't it a bit contradictory?
Xi Honglei took a deep breath, nodded patiently, turned around and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, Xi Honglei raised her head and glanced at the gloomy sky. It was clearly not like this when she came just now.
It seems that this palace is just like the weather, capricious and ever-changing.
Xi Honglei raised the corners of her mouth mockingly and smiled coldly. Listening to the rumbling thunder from far away, Xi Honglei's mind went blank. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, Ran Yunpo called out to her again.
Xi Honglei looked back at Ran Yunpo in confusion. Hearing Ran Yunpo's cold voice, he said, "I will give you a chance to kneel outside the door. When I go to bed at night, I will consider taking back the promise of making you my queen."
What’s the idea?”
Xi Honglei's eyes flashed, and she looked at Ran Yunpo with a gloomy look. After being stunned for a moment, she gritted her teeth and nodded. She said, "Okay."
Xi Honglei turned around and walked into the yard, clenching her fists. She didn't agree to Ran Yunpo's proposal out of impulse. Xi Honglei was just thinking that when Shu Rumei came to question her, she would have an excuse to protect herself.
Get away.
Fuyi knelt down, Xi Honglei scolded herself secretly for underestimating Ran Yunpo. Otherwise, she wouldn't be kneeling here in embarrassment now.
The sultry air and the quiet environment. The sky is getting darker and darker, but my heart, which is crying red, is rare and calm.
Come on, if this rain can save her from danger, then all this will be worth it.
Xi Honglei lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes. Feeling the occasional breeze, it gradually became cool. Xi Honglei knew that the rain would fall soon.
Ran Yunpo sat in the room, looking at the book uneasily. Looking out the window from time to time, Ran Yunpo looked at the woman kneeling in the courtyard, and his mood became more and more irritable and angry.
Time passed slowly, and when Xi Honglei had been kneeling for more than half an hour, the rain finally started to fall.
Raindrops fell on Xi Honglei's head, like broken beads, falling drop by drop. Xi Honglei opened her eyes slightly, turned her head and looked into the house along the window, looking at Ran Yunpo from a distance. She knew
, also understood that her move would undoubtedly make Ran Yunpo angry, but she had to do it.
Now Shu Rumei and Ran Yunpo both want to use Xi Honglei to do something to threaten each other. But Xi Honglei knows how much he weighs and what he should do and what he should not do. The position of the queen is
She said that nothing should be touched. First of all, she didn't ask whether the civil and military officials in the court would agree. She just said that Shu Rumei and Xi Honglei would never take this risk.
Although Shu Rumei is still thinking of ways to control Ran Yunpo, this cannot hide her love for her son. Shu Rumei has done so many things for Ran Yunpo over the years. If Ran Yunpo really fights her to the end,
Shu Rumei may not do anything to Ran Yunpo if he insists on making her his queen. If Shu Rumei acquiesces to Ran Yunpo, then there is no doubt that Chen'er will be poisoned by Shu Rumei. Shu Rumei will not tolerate it.
Mu Yunmeng's child became a prince, Xi Honglei knew this very well. There was no news from Zizi country yet, and Mu Yunmeng was also preparing a counterattack outside the palace. At this time, she must not go out
Any trouble, otherwise no one can help her.
The rain gradually became heavier. Xihonglei's hair was messy and he was soaked, but he still didn't want to stand up and leave. This plan was both a bitter plan and a self-protection plan. The only question was how long the effect would last.
It’s unknown.
The heavy rain kept falling, and Ran Yunpo didn't notice a single thing inside the house. From time to time, he glanced at Xi Honglei outside the house with his peripheral vision. When an hour passed and the rain still didn't get lighter, Ran Yunpo began to sit down.
Can't stand it any longer.
Ran Yunpo threw aside the folding book in his hand, and immediately stood up, strode out of the room, and walked straight to Xi Honglei.
Ran Yunpo looked down at Xi Honglei, seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and raised her head to look at him without fear. Ran Yunpo grabbed her arm hard and pulled her up from the ground.
Xi Honglei had never knelt for such a long time, so he was a little unsteady after being pulled so hard by Ran Yunpo. After swaying, Xi Honglei finally regained the feeling in his legs. Xi Honglei and Ran Yunpo were four
Their eyes met, and they spoke in a low voice and asked: "Your Majesty, do you admit defeat now?"
"Xi Honglei, do you really not want to be my woman?! I can even give you the position of queen, why do you reject me again and again?!"
Ran Yunpo growled and asked Xi Honglei, making Xi Honglei's expression startled. Looking at Ran Yunpo's somewhat painful expression, an emotion similar to guilt flashed through Xi Honglei's heart.
She was sorry for him. No matter whether Ran Yunpo had done anything to feel sorry for her, she had betrayed him after all...
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to be your woman, but I really can't take the position of queen." Xi Honglei said calmly, looking at Ran Yunpo's still angry expression, Xi Honglei tried to move her
He withdrew his arm, but unfortunately he failed to do so. "I did it for the emperor's good, but why can't the emperor understand my difficulties? How many eyes in this palace are staring at me, and how many people outside the palace are looking forward to my early death.
Leave, or even die. If I become the queen, have you ever thought about how many people will attack you and how much pressure you will bear? I can become the emperor's woman, one of the three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor will
Why are you so obsessed with the position of queen? Does the emperor really have to break up with the queen mother and become incompatible with each other in order to show that you can govern alone and be the emperor of Xuanxuan Kingdom without being threatened or restrained by the queen mother?!"
As soon as Xi Honglei finished speaking, Ran Yunpo slapped her hard on the face.
Ran Yunpo's fingerprints were instantly printed on her fair cheeks. Xi Hongtear staggered back two steps, but did not fall. There was a burning pain in the face that Ran Yunpo had hit. The cool raindrops hit her face, which made her feel...
The burning pain was slightly relieved.
"How dare you talk to me like this? Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Ran Yunpo shouted angrily at Xi Honglei. He didn't expect all his unbearable and shameful things, she
He can see everything clearly and clearly! You must know that the person he least wants to let know about all of this is her!
"Xuanxuan Kingdom belongs to the emperor, and Xi Honglei's life also belongs to the emperor." Xi Honglei raised his hand to wipe away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and slowly moved forward to approach Ran Yunpo. He met Ran Yunpo's eyes at close range, Xi Honglei
Using a voice that only two people could hear, he slowly said word by word: "Your Majesty, if you want to be independent, you can't rush it. We have a hundred and a thousand ways to deal with the Queen Mother, but why does your Majesty choose to do so?"
Choosing such an extreme choice? No matter what, the person sitting on the throne now and handling state affairs every day is you, the Emperor, not the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, you said...am I right?"
Xi Honglei said such words to Ran Yunpo in a low voice. Ran Yunpo looked at the person in front of him motionlessly, looking at her charming eyes that were majestic and attractive, and her bright red lips were raised slightly, pursing.
A hint of meaningful smile. Ran Yunpo was stunned, his eyes resting on his cheeks that were red and slightly swollen from tears.
"What can you do?" Ran Yunpo asked in a low voice.
"I have many ways. It just depends on whether the emperor can trust me or not." Xi Honglei met Ran Yunpo's eyes firmly, unexpectedly stood up on tiptoes and planted a kiss on Ran Yunpo's lips.
Xihong shed tears in Ran Yunpo's ear and murmured: "I want to be the emperor's woman. I will also seize the queen's position one day."
