After Ran Yunhao returned to the palace, he kept himself locked in the room uneasy and did not let anyone else disturb him.
Mu Yunmeng and Ran Yunpo blocked Ran Yunhao in the corner. Neither of them gave him a way out or a way to survive, forcing him to breathe a little.
Ran Yunhao has not had a deep relationship with Mu Yunmeng since he was a child. The impression of Mu Yunmeng in his mind at first was just that the third prince who was often praised by his father and everyone. He was a person who made others feel unattainable and would always be there.
People who can't even catch up.
E Niang died early, so Ran Yunhao saw some things in the palace more clearly than many people early on. As Mu Yunmeng said, he did not become Ran Yunpo's opponent to compete with Ran Yunpo for the throne.
The reason is. Ran Yunhao didn’t want to go to great lengths to frame others, nor did he want to be the target of others’ frame-up designs. So he chose Ran Yunpo, who was most likely to inherit the throne, as a shield, stood behind Ran Yunpo, and covered himself with Ran Yunpo’s light.
Live, carefully and with great satisfaction in front of his prince, his prince.
But now, all this seems to be changing.
Ran Yunhao really has no idea whether Mu Yunmeng really wants to kill Honglei. Mu Yunmeng is a man who has always been scheming and unpredictable. Even if he kills a woman for his own benefit, it seems that he is not
Something strange, isn't it?
Xi Honglei's child was born after she fell off the cliff. So this does not mean that Chen'er is what Mu Yunmeng wants. Ran Yunhao has secretly observed Mu Yunmeng for many years, and Mu Yunmeng can bear it.
Ran Yunhao felt terrible that he could not withstand the praises he received from so many people, but could also withstand the rolling eyes and scolding after his sudden decline. But what was even more terrifying was that he actually had an identity like Leng Xiao.
Shu Rumei wants to kill Xi Honglei, but Ran Yunpo may not have the intention to let Xi Honglei live. If Mu Yunmeng doesn't want Xi Honglei to live now, what other options can Xi Honglei take?
Ran Yunhao frowned suddenly and hit the table with his fist. He stood up and walked out of the room. Ran Yunhao said to Mo Yun who was guarding the door: "I will come to the palace. If anyone comes to see you, I will treat you there."
At the house, we will wait until the king comes back."
"I understand." Mo Yun nodded, staring at Ran Yunhao's back as he quickly walked away, and leaned weakly against the wall.
Your Majesty, is there anything disturbing again?
Ran Yunhao entered the palace and went straight to Xi Honglei's residence. Seeing Xi Honglei's surprised expression when he saw him, Ran Yunhao smiled uncomfortably and said, "I feel bored in the palace, so I went to the palace."
Come and take a look.”
"Is the prince really feeling bored, or does he feel that there are too many things to worry about, so he wants to listen to Honglei's nonsense and have fun to relieve his boredom?" Xi Honglei could see the gloom between Ran Yunhao's brows, and she pursed her lips.
With a smile, he put down Chen'er in his arms and said, "Chen'er, go over there and play by yourself."
Chen'er nodded obediently, glanced at Ran Yunhao, and ran away with her legs swung.
Xi Honglei rarely saw Ran Yunhao's sad face, so after Ran Yunhao found her unexpectedly, Xi Honglei had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Xi Honglei waited for Chen'er to go away, then she spoke in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty will come to my place. Your Majesty will definitely know about it. I wonder if the matter that worries Your Majesty has anything to do with Your Majesty?"
Ran Yunhao smiled helplessly, looked at Xi Honglei, shook his head, and sighed: "Why would a woman be born so smart?"
"Your Highness, are you praising me or mocking me?" Xi Honglei was a little unhappy, but then he chuckled. "Your Highness is willing to come to Honglei to express his concerns, so how could Honglei not know this?
Are you trying to embarrass the prince? The prince will wait for a moment while Honglei goes to get the piano and comes over to relieve the prince's boredom."
After Xi Honglei finished speaking, she walked out of the room to get the piano. The moment she closed the door, Xi Honglei glanced at the door panel with cold eyes, thought for a moment, and left in a hurry.
After taking the piano back, Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunhao who was still silent and said nothing. He put the piano on the stand, Xi Honglei stroked the strings gently, looked at Ran Yunhao with burning eyes, and remained silent.
The sound of the piano calmed Ran Yunhao's irritable mood a little. He lowered his head and closed his eyes lightly. Ran Yunhao tried hard to sort out his thoughts.
If she died, could I... be able to stand by and watch?
For many years, Ran Yunhao has never thought about striving for anything for himself, whether it be fame or fortune. He has always tried hard to cater to the people around him, catering to the people who can allow him to live a safe life, even if
No matter how tired he is, he is willing to do it.
No one needs to say more about a woman like Xi Honglei. Ran Yunhao knows that he can’t have her and he can’t afford her. When she is stupid, he doesn’t bother to have her and has no desire. When she is good, she is Ran Yunpo’s target and he can’t have her.
, there is no way to do it. But now, when everyone points their sharp swords at this little woman, Ran Yunhao, besides feeling regretful and sighing, feels more uncomfortable and reluctant to give up.
For Ran Yunpo, the first person Ran Yunhao killed with his own hands was General Song, who had devoted himself to Xuanxuan Kingdom for many years. However, the memory of killing that person was never as much and more important than the fear he felt when he killed Lin Wanru.
How many nights did Ran Yunhao wake up from nightmares, because of Xi Honglei's desperate look at that time, and because of Lin Wanru's miserable condition covered in blood.
He didn't mean it, and he didn't want to. But he had no other choice but to do that, right?!
There was something in Mu Yunmeng's words today that reminded him that if Xi Honglei knew everything, he would definitely not let him go and would definitely kill him.
"Honglei." Ran Yunhao was silent for a long time and finally spoke. He looked at Xi Honglei and looked over in confusion, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to help you find a way to send the child out of the palace?"
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, Xi Honglei opened his eyes wide, looked at Ran Yunhao in disbelief, and was very surprised by his words.
"How could the prince say such a thing?" Xi Honglei covered up his gaffe with a smile and continued to play the piano.
"Because I owe you."
"Owe me? When did the prince owe me?" Xi Honglei glanced sideways at Ran Yunhao, guessing the meaning of his words. Seeing that Ran Yunhao had no intention of answering him, Xi Honglei asked: "Then the prince told me, a few days ago
Who is the person who wants to harm Chen'er?"
Ran Yunhao knew what Xi Honglei was talking about. He pursed his lips and said, "Shu Rumei."
"As expected." Xi Honglei smiled sweetly, not surprised by the answer. "Then what the prince means is that you want to help me and the emperor deal with the queen mother?"
"I will help you, but as for who I will help you deal with, I can't tell yet."
After making a decision, Ran Yunhao secretly clenched his fists and walked to Xi Honglei. He raised his hand and patted her head. Ran Yunhao looked at Xi Honglei's stunned expression, smiled softly, and said: "If there is a next life, remember not to
So smart. It would be good for all of us if we were dumber."
Ran Yunhao's smile stunned Xi Honglei. She had seen many kinds of expressions on Ran Yunhao's face, but this was the first time she saw it.
"Your Majesty..." Xi Honglei spoke slowly and called Ran Yunhao. "What happened?"
"My own affairs have nothing to do with you. The Queen Mother will do something to the children. If you feel that you are unable to do what you want, come to me and I will help you." After Ran Yunhao said what he wanted to say, he smiled relievedly.
Taking a step back, Ran Yunhao looked down at the piano in front of Xi Honglei and said, "If I have a chance, I will come to listen to your piano again. I have something to do today, so I will leave first."
Ran Yunhao left after saying that. Xi Honglei chased after him, but what he saw was the scene where Ran Yunhao was stopped by Ran Yunpo's people.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has something to ask you. Please come over." The eunuch responsible for calling people often follows Ran Yunpo. Xi Honglei has seen him before and is very familiar with his strange and strange voice.
It’s not surprising that Ran Yunpo was so anxious to find Ran Yunhao. There was someone from Ran Yunpo in Jialingyuan, but Ran Yunhao suddenly came to find him without notifying Ran Yunpo. Ran Yunpo was suspicious and called Ran Yunhao over to ask what was going on. It is understandable. But what is worth pondering is that,
What does Ran Yunhao mean by what he said today? What do you mean he owes her? Could it be that what happened four years ago really has something to do with Ran Yunhao? But even if it does, why should he admit it to himself in such a hurry?
?Is there something wrong with her acting skills? Is there a flaw? Or is there something happening somewhere that she can't see that she doesn't know about?
Ran Yunhao followed the eunuch sent by Ran Yunpo calmly, and soon came to the imperial study room, where he saw Ran Yunpo who was busy reviewing the memorials.
"Everyone, please go down." Ran Yunpo waved his hand and sent everyone away except Ran Yunhao. When only he and Ran Yunhao were left in the room, Ran Yunpo asked straight to the point: "I heard, you go
Are you crying? What's the matter?"
"Brother, it's nothing." Ran Yunhao smiled slightly and replied: "It's just that when I was bored at home today, I accidentally saw the piano that Xi Honglei used. I thought of the music she once played.
, I just wanted to listen to it, but there was no one in the house who could play the piano, so I went into the palace to find Xi Honglei."
"Xi Honglei's piano skills are indeed outstanding. I remember that the world-famous piano master once praised her. It's understandable that you want to hear her play the piano." Ran Yunpo nodded lightly and looked at Ran Yun.
After talking a lot, he lowered his head and looked at the folding paper in front of him casually, and asked: "Besides playing the piano, what else did Xi Honglei talk to you about?"
"No." Ran Yunhao answered happily, then shook his head regretfully and said, "No, she accidentally mentioned that she wanted to see the emperor. I wonder if this counts?"
