"Xi Honglei, it seems that I really underestimated you." Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei coldly and said sternly: "It's okay if you pestered me like crazy before, at least you won't cause trouble to other people. But you
Now you are getting more and more courageous, tell me, what are you still planning? Huh?!"
"My lord, have you misunderstood something?" Xi Honglei slowly stood up straight. He looked at Ran Yun's slightly distorted face. "I will enter the palace today not because of my own wishes. I will see the queen.
Madam, it’s not what I think. I don’t know why you are so angry. If you still think that I have not given up on you and am still trying to pester you, I can really assure you that I will not pester you again.
You did, really!"
Xi Honglei explained to Ran Yunpo extremely seriously, wanting to make him clear that she would no longer interfere with him and Shui Rongyan. However, as Xi Honglei spoke more and more, Ran Yunpo's mood not only did not calm down, but also became worse and worse.
He became impatient.
"You won't pester me anymore, will you?" Ran Yunpo took a step forward and stood directly in front of Xi Honglei. Looking down at this ignorant girl, Ran Yunpo pushed Xi Honglei's back to the ground with a strong force.
On the tree trunk. "If you don't bother me, you'll bother Mu Yunmeng instead, right? I'm warning you one last time, Xi Honglei, don't let me find out that you betrayed me, otherwise not only you, but also the entire Xi Mansion,
I will kill them all. If you still try to side with Mu Yunmeng, just give it a try, I don’t mind killing everyone in Xifu."
Ran Yunpo's stern warning made Xi Honglei clench his teeth and never made a sound. Looking helplessly at Ran Yunpo's stern expression, Xi Honglei suddenly smiled helplessly, then licked the corners of his lips and said softly: "
Prince, do you want to hear the truth from me?"
Ran Yunpo did not respond to Xi Honglei, but Xi Honglei continued talking. "I really don't remember what happened in the past, and I don't want to remember it. I don't know what happened between the prince and Mu Yunmeng.
What kind of disputes have I had? I only know that I am just an ordinary commoner, and I will not risk my life to get involved in the disputes of your royal family. If the prince really doesn’t like me, then let the emperor issue an edict to let me leave.
The capital is well. When the time comes, you will be out of sight and out of mind, so you don’t have to worry about me causing you any trouble."
"You want to leave?!" Ran Yunpo's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, he yanked Xi Honglei's wrist and asked: "Where are you going?!"
"If the prince wishes, Honglei can go to a place where you will never see me. As long as the prince asks, Honglei will definitely do it."
Ran Yunpo slowly let go of Xi Honglei's hand, and then clenched his fists hard. Taking a step back, Ran Yunpo squinted at Xi Honglei and spoke in a low voice. "I won't let you leave. The matter of Shui Rongyan has not been dealt with.
Well, you should never think about leaving."
Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo's retreating back, and slid to the ground leaning on the tree trunk with some weakness. She had just been pushed by Ran Yunpo, and her waist was hit in an unbiased way, and now it still hurts.
She still couldn't figure out why Ran Yunpo was so angry. Xi Honglei kept sitting on the ground until a eunuch passed by. She quickly stood up and went to find out the direction of Ran Yunshang's bedroom, and then walked back in confusion.
When Xi Honglei returned to Ran Yunshang's residence, the sky had darkened. Under Ran Yunshang's concerned gaze, Xi Honglei walked into the room and sat down on the chair tiredly.
"Honglei, the Queen didn't do anything to you, right?" Ran Yunshang glanced at Xi Honglei nervously and whispered: "When I saw her taking you away, I quickly went to the third brother for help."
It turned out that it was Ran Yunshang who called Ran Yunpo. No wonder Ran Yunpo showed up so promptly...
Xi Honglei shook her head and said: "I'm fine. However, I think the Queen is very kind and nice, so she shouldn't do anything to me, right?"
Ran Yunshang suddenly smiled coldly after hearing Xi Honglei's words. This expression was something Xi Honglei had never seen on her face before, and it further confirmed Xi Honglei's doubts.
Xi Honglei has known for a long time that a woman who can rule the harem is definitely not an easy person. Not to mention that she can maintain her position while making her son extremely favored. This is something very difficult to achieve, but Shu Ru
The eyebrows are done very well.
Ran Yunshang's panicked behavior puzzled Xi Honglei. Even if Ran Yunshang was worried that he would anger the queen because he didn't understand the rules, he wouldn't be so afraid, right? And he immediately ran to find Ran Yunpo and asked Ran Yunpo to remove him from Shuru.
Bring out the eyebrows. Is this Shu Rumei really a femme fatale?
Of course, this is just Xi Honglei's own speculation. He has read too much history and witnessed too many harem tragedies. Xi Honglei understands very well that this palace is a big dye vat. Anyone who comes here will have to do it.
For the sake of her own livelihood, she had to live in fear every day, and had to force herself to become stronger. So even if she was framed to death by anyone in the palace in the future, Xi Honglei would not be surprised.
"Honglei, how did the queen know you?" Ran Yunshang suddenly thought of the point of the matter, frowned and looked at Xi Honglei and asked.
"I heard that my mother used to be the Queen's personal maid. I don't know anything else. I don't even remember what happened before."
Xi Honglei's answer made Ran Yunshang's eyes widen instantly. The Queen's personal maid...?
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. I'll take you to eat something." Ran Yunshang took the initiative to change the topic, then ate with tears in his eyes, returned to the yard, sat in the pavilion and chatted for a while,
After it got completely dark, the two returned to the room.
"Honglei, you sleep in my room tonight." Ran Yunshang sat on the bed and looked up at Xi Honglei who was standing in the room. "I have something to tell you."
"Princess, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate..." Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunshang with a serious expression and said, "I, a commoner, sleep in the same room with the princess, and people will gossip about me."
"What are you afraid of? I will kill anyone who dares to gossip!" Ran Yunshang's unruly temper showed up again, and Xi Honglei could only obey.
He took off his clothes and took off his headgear. After quickly tidying up, Xi Honglei walked slowly to the bed and sat casually on the blanket on the ground. Then he rested his chin on the bed and looked at Ran Yunshang who was already lying down.
, smiled and said: "What does the princess want to tell me?"
"Red Tears..." Ran Yunshang was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "What should I do? I won't be able to see Brother Yunmeng easily in the future."
Xi Honglei had long expected that Ran Yunshang's topic would be related to Mu Yunmeng, but... "Princess, Honglei, can you boldly ask me why you are so persistent with Mu Yunmeng?"
"Because I grew up with Brother Yunmeng!"
"But didn't you and Prince Chu grow up together?"
"This is different!" Ran Yunshang sat up quickly in excitement and looked at Xi Honglei with a serious expression. Only in the dead of night and when no outsiders were around, Ran Yunshang dared to mention Mu Yunmeng's name without restraint. "I was weak and sick when I was a child.
Everyone else disliked me and didn't want to play with me. Only Brother Yunmeng was willing to take me with him. He even secretly took me out of the palace to play in the mountains! If those things hadn't happened, Brother Yunmeng would still be living here.
In the palace, it will definitely be the prince’s!”
"Mu Yunmeng is the prince?!" Xi Honglei blinked in surprise, "Then why can't he even use the royal surname now?"
Ran Yunshang accidentally said something she shouldn't have said, which made her a little upset. After looking at Xi Honglei seriously, Ran Yunshang lowered her eyes and said quietly: "Honglei, the only person I can trust now is you, because I see
Come out, you really want to help Brother Yunmeng. So no matter what you heard me say today, you must not tell it. Otherwise, I will kill you."
Without waiting for Xi Honglei's reply, Ran Yunshang continued to speak slowly: "Brother Yunmeng used to be very popular with his father. He has been smarter than others since he was a child. No matter what he learns, he must be the first to learn it.
Therefore, my father had long wanted to make Brother Yunmeng the crown prince. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Later, due to some things, Brother Yunmeng and his mother were imprisoned in the cold palace. And later...his mother died in the cold palace.
Here, my father simply kicked Brother Yunmeng out of the palace, took away his surname Ran, and ignored him. But in the past few years, for some unknown reason, my father began to keep causing trouble for Brother Yunmeng, every once in a while
It's time to call him to the palace and give him a scolding."
"Then..." Xi Honglei bit her lower lip and asked in confusion: "Is there any dispute between Prince Chu and Mu Yunmeng? Otherwise, why wouldn't he let us have contact with Mu Yunmeng?"
"The third brother has not had a good relationship with Brother Yunmeng since he was a child, because no matter what he does, Brother Yunmeng always learns faster than him and does better than him. So the third brother has always been against Brother Yunmeng. Even when he arrived
Now, this relationship has not changed. Although my heart is towards Brother Yunmeng, there are some things that I can't help myself..."
"I understand." Xi Honglei nodded with a smile, then climbed onto the bed and sat next to Ran Yunshang. People in the palace are sinister, and standing on the right side is the most important thing. So anyone can see that,
It is obviously safer to stand on Ran Yunpo's side than on Mu Yunmeng's side, not to mention Ran Yunshang, a legitimately beloved little princess.
Ran Yunshang only said half of what she said, and she did not say the most important part. Why were Mu Yunmeng and his mother imprisoned in the cold palace? Why did his mother die? These are the key to the matter.
Xi Honglei closed her eyes, imagining in her mind Mu Yunmeng's high-spirited appearance when he was a child. He also thought of his indifferent attitude of not fighting, not taking care of anything, no matter what he dealt with now. It was because he had experienced such ups and downs.
, is that why you are so open-minded? Or does Mu Yunmeng have other purposes for helping Leng Xiao?
