Huangfu Qiong glared at Xi Honglei, and followed Mu Yunmeng and Ouyang Yu out of the yard. Xi Honglei silently accepted Huangfu Qiong's hateful gaze, and after watching them leave, he looked
Bai Moyue and Yang Xiang.
"Get ready, we can't stay here forever." Xi Honglei left a sentence, and the two people who were left looking at each other turned around and returned to the room.
Xi Honglei walked to the dressing table and looked at the person in the bronze mirror quietly. Looking at that unfamiliar but familiar face, Xi Honglei suddenly remembered the scene when he first came to this world.
If she had known what was happening now, how would she have chosen back then? Would she have sought revenge against her uncle, or would she still have chosen to come to this world?
Xi Honglei rolled up her long hair and picked up a ribbon on the table to fix it. She looked deeply at the person in the glasses with soft eyes and a smile at the corner of her mouth.
The weapons Yun Meng left for him reappeared in front of Bai Moyue and Yang Xiang.
Mu Yunmeng came back with Ouyang Yu and Huangfu Qiong so openly, so this hiding spot means that he has been placed in front of the enemy. Although Ran Yunpo is very likely not in the mood or time to deal with them here now,
Instead, she focused on how to deal with Mu Yunmeng. Ke Xi Honglei knew that at this critical moment, she must not let down her guard, otherwise everything Mu Yunmeng had done before would be in vain.
"I'll go outside and take a look. You guys call Chen'er and Shen Binfeng together so that if anything happens, you can take them away."
Bai Moyue listened to Xi Honglei's words and lowered her eyes to look at the weapon in Xi Honglei's hand. She knew that Xi Honglei would not be as obedient as he promised Mu Yunmeng and would really stay here.
"Be careful, I won't follow you." Bai Moyue nodded in understanding. At this time, it's no wonder that Xi Honglei couldn't calm down.
Xi Honglei left, and Bai Moyue weakly turned her gaze to Yang Xiang. The wind whistled past her ears, and today was much quieter than before. But Bai Moyue knew that at the other end of this town, in Mu Yunmeng
The place where they are, may have been littered with corpses. This is the first time in so many years that they have not followed Mu Yunmeng to cooperate with him, so Bai Moyue's heart cannot help but feel a little empty...
The normally bustling palace was as quiet as if no one existed. Except for the guards guarding the palace entrance with cold and stiff expressions, no one else could be seen.
The imperial garden is missing the concubines who usually like to enjoy flowers, walk and chat, and the imperial study is missing the emperor who often sits there to review memorials. A depressing atmosphere envelopes this large and somewhat empty palace, and it also makes people feel uncomfortable.
Everyone here is extremely careful even when breathing.
Some news always spreads unexpectedly fast. It's like Xi Honglei arranged a trick with Ran Yunpo, like the army of Xixi Kingdom has been stationed outside the capital and may rush into the palace at any time.
Lost, whether it was a few years ago or today, a few years later, Ran Yunpo was completely defeated.
Ran Yunpo sat on the dragon chair, looking at the place under his feet with a somewhat blank look. Not far away from him, there was Shu Rumei, who had the same blank look and even a dull expression.
Lin Yi's death was a blow to Shu Rumei. In any case, he has been her only support for so many years. Perhaps his value can only be reflected when she climbs up step by step.
.Perhaps, he has no other use except helping her kill people and obeying her orders. However, when that man who was as obedient as a dog slave really disappeared from her life, Shu
Rumei actually had a feeling that the world had collapsed in an instant.
Many years ago, he was her father's personal bodyguard. At that time, his name would often appear in the mouths of the maids in the house, and Shu Rumei would hear it, and accompanying it on their faces would be the name Shu Rumei has never heard of until now.
Incomprehensible love and yearning.
By chance, Shu Rumei discovered that Lin Yi was really good at skills. So she tried her best to get him to her side. At that time, what he often did was to follow her behind and accompany her.
When I go out to go shopping, I often say something like, "Miss, there are so many people here, I think it would be better for us to go back home first."
When she was a teenager, she was so unruly and spoiled that no one could do anything about it. It was even more impossible for her to be as forbearing and determined as she is now to deal with things that she couldn't understand. She would often hug his arm when she was happy.
Even if she complimented him a few times, she would get angry and slap him in the face without considering his feelings at all. However, no matter how she beat him and scolded him, he never left her side.
As she grew older, she began to understand his little thoughts. After snorting and laughing, she acted as if nothing had happened and knew nothing, and still instigated him to do various things for her.
Even though he is a little bodyguard, he wants to be her husband?
Although she often thought this in her heart at that time, when she heard someone secretly discussing Lin Yi in her house again, she would drive those women away without hesitation. Because he was hers.
Things cannot be tolerated by others.
Everything changed after she was sent to the palace and became Ran Fenghe's concubine. She had to be careful every time she said a word, for fear of someone secretly eavesdropping, which made Shu Rumei understand.
In this world, power is really above all else. Whether she is favored or not, and her status is the only criterion that determines whether she can live a good life in this harem, so after being beaten, scolded, ridiculed, and plotted
, Shu Rumei also understood how to fight back.
Meeting Lin Yi again was the most critical moment in Shu Rumei's life. She needed to protect herself and someone to take care of her affairs outside the palace, even if the person she wanted to get rid of was her biological father.
Lin Yi, who had not seen him for a long time, seemed to be more calm than when Shu Rumei first entered the palace. Shu Rumei could also see that his martial arts was much better than before. She looked into his eyes
Kneeling in front of her coldly, he called her in a low voice using a name that she had never heard from him before. Apart from secretly rejoicing that this slave should be more useful than before, Shu Rumei did not say anything.
Other ideas.
With the help of Lin Yi, Shu Rumei overcame the difficulty that almost cost her her life. After the incident, Shu Rumei also thought about getting rid of Lin Yi, a man who knew too many of her secrets. But when
When she saw the fiery look in his eyes when he occasionally looked at her secretly, Shu Rumei knew that this man was still valuable. So, when she needed to find someone to give birth to a child, she
I set my sights on him again...
"Look for a chance to sneak out now. Maybe there is hope of survival."
Ran Yunpo's cold words brought Shu Rumei back to reality from her meditation. Shu Rumei felt extremely depressed when she looked at the son she had carefully cultivated for so many years.
"Didn't you say that they would send troops to help you after you had already negotiated with the Xixi Kingdom? How could it be like this?" Shu Rumei frowned and asked Ran Yunpo in an accusatory tone.
"Even if they are willing to help me, there is no need for you to stay in the palace anymore. Because the condition I offered is that I am willing to give up the throne to the Xixi Kingdom. Once I am no longer the emperor, then the position of the Queen Mother will naturally no longer exist.
It will be you."
After listening to Ran Yunpo's words, Shu Rumei's eyes suddenly turned dark. She held the handles on both sides of the chair with both hands. After Shu Rumei recovered, she looked sharply at Ran Yunpo, but suddenly she couldn't think of what to say.
Come scold him.
"You're worthless! You've ruined the royal family's face!" Shu Rumei stood up, pointed at Ran Yunpo's nose and cursed through gritted teeth.
"The blood on my body is not from the Ran family, so the royal family's reputation has nothing to do with me." Ran Yunpo didn't care much about Shu Rumei's scolding. In other words, his face didn't show that he was
of concern.
Ran Yunpo looked at Shu Rumei with a fake smile and asked: "Mom, you have lived in the palace for so many years, and you have done both good and bad things. If only Lin Yi had not died, Ran Yunhao had not rebelled, and Xi Honglei had not lied.
If we, Mu Yunmeng, had been eliminated long ago, would you really want to kill me and sit on the throne yourself?"
"You...!" Shu Rumei's face turned pale with anger, and the finger pointing at Ran Yunpo began to tremble slightly.
"Maybe you shouldn't have given birth to me from the beginning." The smile on Ran Yunpo's face slowly disappeared, and he looked at Shu Rumei with a gloomy look. He could never let go of his identity. "Lin Yi
He deserves his death. I have arranged for someone to take you out of the palace through the secret door. If you don’t want to go down and see that dog slave, just..."
Before Ran Yunpo could finish his words, Shu Rumei rushed over and slapped him, which stunned him.
The force of Shu Rumei's slap made Ran Yunpo's face turn red quickly. He looked at Shu Rumei's angry expression in disbelief, never expecting that she would hit him for Lin Yi.
"He's your father!" Shu Ru shouted angrily at Ran Yunpo.
"But in my heart, I will always have only one father, and that is Ran Fenghe, who was killed by you and that dog slave." Ran Yunpo said to Shu Rumei word by word, clearly: "Mom, if you really want me to
If I admit the existence of his biological father, I would rather never appear in this world. The fact that I have reached this point is inseparable from your conspiracy back then."
