Volume 2 Chapter 1 Dislike being an official

Volume 2 Chapter 1 Don’t like to be an official

Ran Yunshang did not bring too many people into Mu Yunmeng's courtyard because she knew very well that Mu Yunmeng did not like to deal with people in the palace.

Xi Honglei followed Ran Yunshang silently. Seeing Ran Yunshang's happy expression when he found Mu Yunmeng in the study, Xi Honglei licked the corners of his lips and said nothing.

Mu Yunmeng raised his head, and after seeing Ran Yunshang and others, he frowned without any trace, then stood up, walked from behind the desk to Ran Yunshang, and said softly: "See you, princess."

Ran Yunshang grinned, raised the imperial edict in his hand, and said happily: "Father's imperial edict."

Ran Yunshang's words made Mu Yunmeng stunned and did not react immediately. He kept thinking in his head why the emperor asked Ran Yunshang to send him an imperial edict. But in the eyes of others, Mu Yunmeng was thinking about it.

However, it seems as if he is unwilling to accept this imperial edict.

"What are you thinking about just standing there! Didn't you hear the princess asked you to accept the order?!" The maid next to Ran Yunshang, after seeing Mu Yunmeng's expression, said disdainfully: "You are really ignorant!"

"Snapped!"

With the crisp slap, half of the maid's face immediately became red and swollen. Xi Honglei stood aside and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ran Yunshang who had slapped Mu Yunmeng angrily before Mu Yunmeng could speak.

The force of this slap was so strong that Xi Hong looked at it with tears in his eyes and felt that it must be very painful, not to mention the person who was being slapped.

"Who are you! Do you have the right to speak here?" Ran Yunshang looked contemptuously at the palace maid who spoke rudely to Mu Yunmeng, and then slapped her with her backhand. With a cold snort, Ran Yunshang said: "Here comes someone.

, drag her out! I don’t want to see her again!”

Ran Yunshang didn't give the maid any chance to plead for her, so she ordered someone to take her out of sight. It was the first time Xi Honglei saw the little princess angry, so she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, telling herself in her heart that in the future

You must be careful what you say in front of this princess.

Ran Yunshang drove the rest of the people out of the room, leaving only Mu Yunmeng, himself and Xi Honglei. Without the outsiders around, Ran Yunshang no longer showed a domineering look. He looked pitiful.

Looking at Mu Yunmeng, Ran Yunshang said in a low voice with a bit of pleading: "I asked for this imperial edict with great difficulty. My father has agreed to give you a chance to prove that you are not that kind of person. So...

Take it."

Mu Yunmeng looked at Ran Yunshang's red and swollen side face seriously, and was silent for a long time with his eyes lowered. Just when Xi Honglei thought that he would not accept the order, he silently accepted the thing in Ran Yunshang's hand.

Ran Yunshang was overjoyed and immediately laughed happily. Then he turned to look at Xi Honglei and said: "Honglei, I have to go back to the palace beforehand. I brought too many people today and it is not convenient to chat with you. Wait for me tomorrow.

Let’s go to Xi Mansion to find you!”

"Okay..." Xi Honglei nodded, and then watched Ran Yunshang leave. When she and Mu Yunmeng were the only ones left in the room, Xi Honglei suddenly had a question in her mind. Ran Yunshang pulled her here.

What was it for...? To witness her second brother becoming an official? Or to let herself come over and chat with Mu Yunmeng, who was always alone, to relieve her boredom?

After Ran Yunshang left, Mu Yunmeng silently opened the imperial edict and took a look at it. Then, as if nothing happened, he returned to the desk, lowered his head and read the book in silence. Looking at his appearance, Xi Honglei said,

I couldn't help but feel a little curious. I leaned against the wall with my hands folded across my chest, Xi Honglei said softly: "I thought you would refuse."

"Rejecting the Emperor's decree means losing your head. I don't have the courage to disobey the Emperor's decree." Mu Yunmeng answered Xi Honglei's question without raising her head. After a moment of pause,

Added another sentence. "Besides, there is no need to refuse the order. Within two months, this official position will be removed by the emperor."

"Why?" Xi Honglei asked doubtfully.

Mu Yunmeng slowly raised his head, held the side of his face with one hand, looked at Xi Honglei and asked, "Have you read the contents of the imperial edict?"

Xi Honglei shook his head, and then at Mu Yunmeng's signal, he walked over, picked up the imperial edict, and read it carefully. After reading it, Xi Honglei couldn't help but feel shocked, and sighed with emotion about the emperor's treatment of Mu Yunmeng.

unfair.

The official position that the emperor gave Mu Yunmeng was none other than Jing Zhaoyin. In the eyes of others, this official position did not seem small, and it was also a good job. However... the last sentence the emperor wrote to Mu Yunmeng was actually

Xi Honglei felt uncomfortable.

The emperor pointed out that there have been several murder cases in the capital recently, but the murderer has not been identified. He only gave Mu Yunmeng two months to thoroughly investigate these murder cases. If the murderer is not found, then

The official position of Jing Zhaoyin will naturally be taken back.

Ran Yunshang must have happily reported the good news to Mu Yunmeng without reading the content of the imperial edict. Xi Honglei held the imperial edict in his hand and looked at Mu Yunmeng faintly, feeling very curious in his heart as to what happened between him and the emperor.

Only because of things can a father make things difficult for his son like this.

"I'm waiting to see you make the emperor speechless." Xi Honglei walked slowly to the desk, returned the imperial edict to him, and said softly: "As long as the case is solved, no one will look down on you anymore."

"Do you think I can solve these murder cases?" Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei in amusement, then lowered his head to read the book.

"If you didn't check it, how would you know that it can't be broken? Don't let the princess's thoughts go to waste. Besides, I will also help you."

"You?" Mu Yunmeng raised his head funny, looked at Xi Honglei, and asked, "How can you help me?"

His eyes swept over the back of Xi Honglei's hand, causing the smile on Mu Yunmeng's face to disappear. After staring at the back of Xi Honglei's hand for a moment, Mu Yunmeng continued to ask: "Is the injury healed?"

"Okay." Xi Honglei smiled nonchalantly, then turned around and walked out the door. When he walked to the door, Xi Honglei looked back at Mu Yunmeng and said with a smile: "Don't let people look down on you anymore.

This is a good opportunity. I will come to see you again tomorrow, remember to do serious business, the princess has high expectations for you."

After Xi Honglei left, a cold light suddenly appeared in Mu Yunmeng's eyes. Glancing at the imperial edict brought by Ran Yunshang, Mu Yunmeng smiled coldly.

Jing Zhaoyin. He really can think of it...

Xi Honglei returned to Xi Mansion and sat in the room, thinking about everything that had just happened. Investigating ancient murder cases was indeed something interesting for her. However, where should she start to help Mu Yunmeng?

What about letting other people discover what she is capable of?

In today's weather, a corpse would rot if kept in the inn for a few days. It would be quite challenging to examine such a corpse.

Xi Honglei had been immersed in her own thoughts until Hua'er ran into the house in a panic and told her out of breath that Ran Yunpo came to find her. Only then did Xi Honglei come back to her senses and stand up.

body.

"Where is Prince Chu?" Xi Honglei caressed his hair and asked.

"You should be coming to us, Miss, have you done something to make the prince angry?" Hua'er looked at Xi Honglei nervously and guessed uneasily. Xi Honglei

Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but smile. Before he could go to the door to greet Ran Yunpo, he saw Ran Yunpo walking into his room with a dark face.

"Xi Honglei has met the prince."

Ran Yunpo glanced at Xi Honglei with a cold look, then sent his entourage and Hua'er out. He strode to the table and sat down. Ran Yunpo stared at Xi Honglei and said straight to the point: "Water dissolves smoke.

Pregnant."

Listening to Ran Yunpo's words, Xi Honglei opened her eyes wide in surprise and opened her mouth slightly. She walked up to Ran Yunpo with a strange expression, and Xi Honglei asked tentatively: "My lord... have you forgotten the emperor's words?"

"I have not forgotten, and I will never forget. I gave her the abortion pills, the same ones you went to the pharmacy to get for her."

After hearing Ran Yunpo's words, Xi Honglei's expression changed. Serious Ran Yunpo, Xi Honglei suddenly realized and smiled bitterly, and then asked: "Your Highness, you came to me today, didn't you come to ask me for punishment? Do you doubt me?

Did you tamper with that medicine?"

"I never knew you were so smart." Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei with a sinister expression and said. He originally came here to question Xi Honglei, but what he didn't expect was that Xi Honglei suddenly

I guessed it. Is she too smart, or does she have something in her heart that makes her think of this involuntarily?

"Your Majesty, Honglei, thank you for thinking so highly of me!" Xi Honglei smiled jokingly, looked at Ran Yunpo with a solemn expression, and said, "I just went to help Miss Shui get medicine. The owner of the pharmacy can do it for me.

Testify. How could I do anything to make Miss Shui pregnant? How could I be so capable? How could I be so courageous? I am not smart, but your attitude and expression are too obvious, Your Majesty."

"You can change the medicine halfway."

"Why did I do that? Am I a madman or a fool? Prince, I have not forgotten what I said to you, let alone that I am on your side. Since I promised to help you, I will naturally not harm you.

You. Miss Shui is pregnant. If the news reaches the ears of the emperor, he will definitely be angry. You and Miss Shui can't be together, will you let me go? I pledged my life to help you, how could I

Reach out and slap yourself in the face, doing such a thankless thing?!"

After Xi Honglei finished speaking with some excitement, she sat there with a gloomy expression and said nothing. Ran Yunpo, who had heard her vent and roared, also frowned and remained silent for a long time.
