Xi Honglei hugged Chen'er and stayed in the house for a long time. She didn't leave the house again until Qiu Shitian came back.
Xi Honglei looked at Qiu Shitian's pale face and was surprised. "Master, you..."
"It's not a big deal since I was plotted." Qiu Shitian waved his hand towards Xi Honglei, indicating that he was not seriously injured. "It's just a minor injury, just..."
Qiu Shitian stopped talking, then looked at Xi Honglei steadily and said, "Do you know who the person who wants to take Chen'er away is?"
Xi Honglei thought for a while and shook her head. "Master chased that person, where did he chase him?"
"Outside the palace."
"Outside the palace?!" Xi Honglei opened his eyes wide instantly, took a breath, and then guessed in a cold voice: "Master, are you from Mu Yunmeng?"
"Yes." Qiu Shitian nodded with a painful expression, "There were many people there to support us after we left the palace. They must have planned it, so they took today's action. We all have to be careful in the future.
"
"I understand." Xi Honglei gritted her teeth and followed Qiu Shitian's words and said, "Master, please rest for a while. I will go get you some medicine and come back. We will discuss this matter in detail tonight."
After getting Qiu Shitian's consent, Xi Honglei left with Chen'er. But in her heart, she was always thinking about what Qiu Shitian had just said.
"Mother." Chen'er walked beside Xi Honglei, pulling on the corner of Xi Honglei's clothes, and followed Xi Honglei's footsteps. He raised his head and looked at Xi Honglei, Chen'er blinked his eyes and tilted his head to ask.
:"Really?"
Xi Honglei looked down at Chen'er, shook her head and said, "Let mother think about it."
Qiu Shitian said that Mu Yunmeng did this. Although Xi Honglei had no evidence, he felt that the possibility was not high. Besides, no matter how many people there were, who could hurt Qiu Shitian? Mu Yun
Meng Yang Xiang Feng Rusong is not here, so it can’t be him. But if Mu Yunmeng really wants to take Chen’er away, there is no need to come up with such a way, and it is impossible not to tell him in advance.
Isn't it?
Today's incident can be said to have been done by Shu Rumei, but it is not impossible to say that it was Ran Yunpo's doing. Because when Xi Honglei left Jialing Garden today, he was taken away by Ran Yunpo's people. And the only reason they had to attack Chen'er was
Maybe he just wants to control and threaten himself. Whose side Qiu Shitian is on? Xi Honglei still doesn't know, but what she knows is that Qiu Shitian came into the palace this time with the intention of attacking Mu.
Yun Meng came up with the idea to take action.
They now put the blame on Mu Yunmeng. Even if Xi Honglei doesn't believe it, she can't say anything. She can only pretend to be confused and act with them. Looking at it, everyone around her is an enemy. But through
Xi Honglei also understood one thing about this matter.
Xi Honglei walked towards the Imperial Physician's Palace, and when she was far away from Jialing Garden, Xi Honglei spoke, squatted down and met Chen'er's eyes, and said: "Remember what mother said, besides mother,
If you don't have mother's permission, then Chen'er, whether it's Master or Uncle Jin, don't leave them, do you understand?"
"Chen'er remembers it!"
"Good boy." Xi Honglei touched Chen'er's head with satisfaction and hugged him up. After getting the medicine for Qiu Shitian and going back, Xi Honglei helped Qiu Shitian apply the medicine, and Jinyu went one after another.
Then left the room.
Xi Honglei returned to her room and asked, "Jinyu, that man changed his appearance. Didn't you find something wrong?"
"No." Jinyu sighed heavily and said with a solemn expression: "The body shape and appearance are very similar to yours. I took a closer look and found no trace of disguise. If she hadn't escaped, I would have
I also have doubts about her authenticity and don't dare to be as sure as Chen'er."
No trace of disguise can be seen...
Xi Honglei secretly clenched her fists and said, "What happened today is thanks to you and the master. The master was injured because of Chen'er, and I feel very sorry."
"Don't say these words. Master is doing it for Chen'er's own good. He won't say anything, so don't think too much about it."
Jinyu said words of comfort to Xi Honglei, who lowered his head, his eyes full of hatred and murderous intent.
After a day of hard work, Xi Honglei wanted to have a good rest at night. However, another uninvited guest came - Ran Yunpo.
Ran Yunpo went directly into Xi Honglei's room without saying hello. Looking at Chen'er who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Ran Yunpo met Xi Honglei's scrutinizing eyes and smiled. "I just came to take a look, don't be nervous."
Xi Honglei stood up from the bed and asked, "Does the Emperor know what happened today?"
"All the servants in Jialingyuan are sent by me, what do you think?" Ran Yunpo walked to the soft couch and sat down, looking at Xi Honglei with burning eyes. "I didn't expect this young boy to be quite smart.
I wanted to come over and watch the show, but from the looks of it, he doesn’t have any injuries?"
Ran Yunpo's mocking tone made Xi Honglei feel very uncomfortable. Xi Honglei walked straight to Ran Yunpo, looked at Ran Yunpo condescendingly, and asked: "What does the emperor mean by saying this? Does he want to admit what happened today?
, is it the emperor’s doing?”
"I don't. Don't just blame me for such a big thing." Ran Yunpo quickly denied it and said, "I admit that I don't like this child and want to kill him. But if I really
I have made up my mind that if I want to kill him, I will do it openly and not in this way."
Ran Yunpo's words did not make Xi Honglei believe him completely. Xi Honglei sighed quietly, smiled bitterly, and said: "The sky is big and the earth is big, but there is no place that can accommodate our mother and son. It's really
ridiculous."
"It's not that I can't tolerate you, but I can't tolerate this child." Ran Yunpo chuckled, looking at Xi Honglei's gloomy expression, and said: "Don't blame anyone. If you want to blame, blame his father for offending too many people.
People, aren’t they?”
"The emperor is right. This child really shouldn't have been born. But since I gave birth to him, I must be responsible for him to the end. I once said that this child is my final bottom line. Even if you are the emperor, I will not let him
Just touch him. He is the flesh that fell off my body. No one hurts me, I hurt him."
"I didn't come here to argue with you today. Let's sit down and talk." Ran Yunpo took the initiative to change the topic, patted the seat next to him, and asked Xi Honglei to sit next to him.
Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo for a long time and then sat over. Ran Yunpo pulled him into his arms. Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo very close and asked, "What does the emperor want to tell me?"
"This calm expression really makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Ran Yunpo raised his chin, which was red with tears, and looked at her delicate facial features carefully. "Tell me, is there anything you can do now?
Ecstatic?"
"Kill Mu Yunmeng." Xi Honglei replied immediately without thinking. "Only killing him can relieve the hatred in my heart."
"Good answer, I like it." Ran Yunpo's thumb kept rubbing the red lips that were crying, "I heard that you went to the Imperial Physician's Hall today?"
"My master was injured. He went after the person pretending to be me. Finally he found Mu Yunmeng's people and was plotted by them."
"Mu Yunmeng did what happened today?" Ran Yunpo raised his eyebrows and asked.
"My master said yes, so the possibility is extremely high. Mu Yunmeng has always wanted to kill me and this child before, and since I couldn't kill him before, he can't attack me now, so he has to take it out on the child first.
It’s really disgusting.”
Xi Honglei cursed Mu Yunmeng in a low voice, then raised her eyes to look at Ran Yunpo, and leaned into his arms. With her head leaning on Ran Yunpo's chest, Xi Honglei listened to Ran Yunpo's heartbeat, pursed her lips and smiled, saying
: "I often think about what we would be like now if we hadn't taken that wrong step back then. The Xi family will not be defeated, and my mother will not die. The emperor has lost his heart. I... am I too early?"
Becoming a queen? In the final analysis, everything happening now is because of me. I will bear the consequences of the evil I have sown. Who else can I blame? I can only blame myself. I was blind and believed it in the first place.
He's full of nonsense."
After listening to Xi Honglei's murmur, Ran Yunpo felt extremely complicated. Even after so many years, Ran Yunpo still had not figured out why Xi Honglei chose Mu Yunmeng back then? There is one thing about him that makes him inferior to Mu Yunmeng?
"What did he say that made you decide to leave him?" Ran Yunpo struggled for a long time and finally asked the question in his heart.
"It's not what he said, but what he did." Xi Honglei raised his head and looked at Ran Yunpo with tears in his eyes. "Your Majesty, Mu Yunmeng had already thought about marrying me before the Emperor.
Just...ruined my body. He always wanted to wait for us to get married and humiliate the emperor. But how could I have said these words back then? After I learned the fact that he was Leng Xiao, I couldn't help but
Besides reluctance, what's more important is fear. I am also a human being, and I am also afraid of death. No matter how much the emperor hates me and blames me now, it doesn't matter to me, because this is what I deserve."
As Xi Honglei finished speaking the last sentence, the tears in her eyes finally fell down. Xi Honglei pulled the corners of her mouth forcefully, revealing a smile that was not pretty.
"Women deserve to be pawns in the struggle between you men, right?"
Xi Honglei asked Ran Yunpo in a trembling voice, causing Ran Yunpo to look away involuntarily, not wanting to look at her crying face. "Since you were in trouble back then, why didn't you tell me?"
"What should I say? My father was the prime minister back then. What would he do if this matter spread? My mother has always been ignored in Xi Mansion. If they find out about me, my mother's life will only become more miserable.
It’s better. And you, the emperor, even if you were not the emperor at that time, you were still the Prince of Chu who was respected by thousands of people. Although I divorced you before you even married me, in the final analysis, it was still the Queen Mother who gave you the marriage herself. Your Majesty
, do you think you can really accept this kind of thing with your temperament back then?"
