Ran Yunpo put most of the blame on Shu Rumei, and although Shu Rumei was angry, she couldn't say anything to refute him. At this point, Shu Rumei knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless.
.
Shu Rumei accepted Ran Yunpo's suggestion and prepared to sneak out of the palace with his people. When Shu Rumei returned to her palace, she packed some gold, silver, jewelry and necessities for escape, and then followed a path she had never walked on weekdays.
When they came to a small secret door like a dog hole along the path, Shu Rumei frowned and froze there.
"Do we have to go from here?" Shu Rumei turned to look at the people around her and asked.
"It's safer here."
The answer she got made Shu Rumei frown even more. She lowered her head and stared at the passage leaving the palace in front of her. Although she didn't want others to see her embarrassing appearance at this time, she wanted to be safe.
, Shu Rumei still let the two climb out first, and then she imitated their actions and got out with a cold face.
"Ah, it appeared."
Mo Yun opened his eyes wide and looked at the people slowly appearing in his sight in the distance. He turned back and said to the man who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed to relax.
"Yeah." Ran Yunhao lazily opened his eyes and looked in the direction Mo Yun pointed. He was just waiting here with the mentality of trying his luck, but he didn't expect that he actually bumped into him.
Ran Yunhao had previously been responsible for investigating and monitoring the secret entrances to and from the palace at Xi Honglei's request. He originally thought that in order to escape today, the person who should escape would be Ran Yunpo. Unexpectedly, Shu Rumei moved faster.
"Your Highness..." Mo Yun asked in a low voice what Ran Yunhao meant. When she saw Ran Yunhao nodded slightly, indicating that she could take action, Mo Yun smiled and rushed towards Shu Rumei.
.
Ran Yunhao stood up straight and sighed softly. After waiting for nearly a day and night, he still didn't catch a big fish. But he was lucky to catch Shu Rumei.
Shu Rumei looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her. She stopped nervously and looked around. She didn't see Mu Yunmeng or Xi Honglei, so Shu Rumei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But then she appeared.
Ran Yunhao made Shu Rumei's heart calm down a little, but it suddenly rose again.
"Why are you so impulsive?" Ran Yunhao stood in front of Mo Yun, and a guard rushed up without any explanation. He raised his eyes to look at Shu Rumei, Ran Yunhao saw her looking at him warily, as if she might take action at any time, helplessly
He smiled and said: "We are all in the same boat, there is no need to be like this, right?"
"People on the same boat?" Shu Rumei responded to Ran Yunhao with a sneer, "If the Aijia remembers correctly, you should be on Mu Yunmeng's side, right?"
"I am also afraid of people who the Queen Mother is afraid of. Don't forget, Lin Wanru died in my hands back then." Ran Yunhao comforted Shu Rumei, "I came here today just to ask one thing clearly.
"
"Say." Shu Rumei didn't quite believe Ran Yunhao's words. But based on her understanding of Xi Honglei, she also knew that Xi Honglei would not let go of Lin Wanru's murderer.
"I just want to know..." Ran Yunhao's eyes darkened, and he moved forward slowly, approaching Shu Rumei. Unfortunately, Shu Rumei never dared to let him come to her side, so Ran Yunhao had no choice but to do so.
Let others hear his voice. "Is my father's death that year related to you?"
"It has nothing to do with it!" Shu Rumei denied Ran Yunhao's speculation without even thinking about it. "Ran Yunhao, it's time for you to stop accusing the Ai family of baseless accusations."
Shu Rumei answered happily, and Ran Yunhao felt chilled. There were some things that he didn't know. He just wanted to hear even one word from Shu Rumei's mouth regretting her actions back then. Unfortunately, there was no such thing.
Shu Rumei was a cruel person, and countless people in the palace died at her hands. Including Mu Yunmeng's A Niang, Yun Shang's A Niang, and maybe... also his.
"Third brother is worthy of being your son." Ran Yunhao lowered his eyes and said something that made Shu Rumei stunned. For his own benefit, he could kill his relatives and loved ones so decisively, even to the point of
In the end, there was no regret at all. Sure enough, they were mother and son.
Shu Rumei was not ready to continue to tangle with Ran Yunhao. She glanced at Ran Yunhao standing there quietly and urged the guards in front of her to leave quickly. This was not a safe place, in case Mu Yunmeng got into trouble.
People find it difficult to leave even if they want to.
Shu Rumei took a few steps forward and heard a strange sound coming from behind. Shu Rumei turned back in surprise and looked at the person who was killed by Ran Yunhao and lying on the ground. She spoke in disbelief and asked: "You...
What is it for?"
Although this is a relatively remote place, if there is a dispute with Ran Yunhao, it is very likely to attract nearby enemies. Therefore, Shu Rumei does not want to fight with Ran Yunhao unless it is absolutely necessary. But she never expected that
, Ran Yunhao actually took the initiative to extend his hand to him.
"I will never feel at ease if I let you go." Ran Yunhao whispered to Shu Rumei, looking straight at the blood-stained sword in his hand.
"Bring the person who breathed red tears here, and you won't be able to leave alive!"
"I never thought that I could survive." Ran Yunhao smiled slightly, which made Shu Rumei a little scared. "Besides, being able to die in her hands is a good thing for me."
He is not worried about continuing to live, he is only worried about how he will face those people who lost their lives because of him after he dies.
"I always feel that by dragging you to death, my sins will be lighter." Ran Yunhao tilted his head and met Shu Rumei's eyes. While covering Mo Yun behind him, he killed the enemies in front of him. Until the end,
Only then did Ran Yunhao discover that the bodyguard Ran Yunpo assigned to Shu Rumei was not the top bodyguard.
"Look, your son also spared you a hand." Ran Yunhao said sarcastically: "Keep the best people by your side to protect your own safety. It seems... he also knows that you are dead.
Escape from this capital city."
Shu Rumei and Ran Yunhao were facing each other with swords. Ran Yunhao knew that Shu Rumei was not weak in martial arts, but after secretly observing Shu Rumei for so many years, Ran Yunhao also knew that Shu Rumei learned most of Shu Rumei's martial arts from Lin Yina.
So after getting familiar with Lin Yi's moves, it is not that difficult to deal with Shu Rumei.
Shu Rumei saw that she was gradually at a disadvantage, and she scolded him unhesitatingly: "Everyone of them is worthless! I was fascinated by that enchantress Xi Honglei. Could it be that you caught me and asked for credit from her?
Can it change your status in her heart?!"
Shu Rumei suddenly mentioned "Xi Hong Tears", which made Ran Yunhao's mind go blank for a moment. The blade of the sword, flashing with cold light, unexpectedly deviated from its original trajectory. Not only did Shu Rumei escape, but she also narrowly escaped death.
This left an additional scar on Ran Yunhao's body.
"My lord, be careful!"
Ran Yunhao heard Mo Yun's voice coming from behind him, and his misty vision regained focus. His left hand reflexively grabbed Shu Rumei's sword, and the sharp blade almost pierced his palm. Warm blood flowed out.
, allowing Ran Yunhao to clearly feel their existence. Ran Yunhao glanced at his bleeding hands with his peripheral vision and muttered to himself: "What a waste."
Shu Rumei panicked and wanted to withdraw her weapon, but Ran Yunhao's strength prevented her from doing so. Her body was unable to move for a moment, and just when Shu Rumei wanted to abandon the sword and go away, she picked up another weapon on the ground.
When she was picking up the weapon, the sword in Ran Yunhao's hand was already attacking her without hesitation.
Ran Yunhao watched with burning eyes as the sword in his hand passed through Shu Rumei's back. Using all the strength in his body, Ran Yunhao pushed the sword forward until it pierced Shu Rumei's body.
Then it stopped.
Shu Rumei felt a sharp pain coming from her back. The pain was so painful that she had no strength to continue the movements of her hands. Even breathing had become a luxury.
She lowered her head and looked at the sword blade protruding from her chest.
Not willing to give in, this is Shu Rumei's only thought at this moment.
She can't die, she still has a lot of things waiting to be done. She hasn't lived enough and hasn't enjoyed enough glory in this world. She...
Her body gradually lost gravity, and Shu Rumei fell to the ground in a panic. The baggage she was carrying fell to the ground with her, and the gold and silver jewelry and banknotes inside scattered out, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.
"A lost weapon has no value for reuse no matter when it is. Maybe Lin Yi didn't teach you this, but you should know it yourself."
Shu Rumei's biggest mistake was to try to win this fight by picking up blunt objects discarded by others.
"The Ai family doesn't need you to teach them a lesson..." Shu Rumei said this with difficulty, still not believing that she would die in the hands of Ran Yunhao in the end.
Ran Yunhao has always been the most obedient chess piece. Sometimes, he is more to her liking than Ran Yunpo. Even back then, he accepted the dangerous mission of assassinating Xi Honglei without blinking an eye, but now...
…
"If killing you would change my status in her heart, then I wouldn't be where I am today." Ran Yunhao remembered what Shu Rumei just said and retorted with a bitter smile. "Empress Huang, I will kill you.
, just to avenge my father, nothing more. You should be glad that you died in my hands, not Mu Yunmeng's. Otherwise, he would never let you die so easily. You have done so much
