"You'd better not ask about this kind of thing." Mu Yunmeng patted Xi Honglei's head, "Let's go, I'll take you back to Prince Chu's Mansion."
Mu Yunmeng didn't want to say anything, and Xi Honglei didn't pursue the question any further. Under the escort of Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Before meeting Ran Yunpo, he carefully disposed of the letter that Leng Xiao had given him.
.
As Buchu Honglei expected, when she returned to Prince Chu's Mansion, Ran Yunpo immediately looked for her and asked her coldly why Mu Yunmeng was looking for her.
"Your Highness." Xi Honglei licked the corners of his lips uncomfortably, sighed softly, looked at Ran Yunpo deeply, and said: "I don't want to get involved in the matter between you and Mu Yunmeng. He is here today.
He came to me and didn’t say anything. He just chatted and then... asked me how long I would stay in the Prince of Chu’s Mansion. I told him truthfully that I was going to enter the palace, and he didn’t say anything else. So, please
Don't take your bad emotions out on me..."
Xi Honglei's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and the last few words almost came out from her nose, which made Ran Yunpo feel angry and funny. Did she have the courage to mention Mu Yunmeng's matter to her, but was she worried that she would embarrass her?
?
A smile flashed across his eyes, and Ran Yunpo looked at Xi Honglei meaningfully for a while before letting her leave.
Xi Honglei fled back to her room in some embarrassment, lying on the bed dejectedly, and began to plan how to complete the task given to her by Leng Xiao. Although she was reluctant, Xi Honglei also understood that if she didn't do it,
What will Leng Xiao do to her?
Leng Xiao only gave her half a month, so the time was very tight. During this half month, Xi Honglei had to accompany Ran Yunshang in the palace, avoid the emperor and queen, and also find time to investigate
Kill the imperial censor whom he has never seen before. This means that Xi Honglei has to work non-stop on various things every day, which is extremely urgent.
"Leng Xiao, Leng Xiao, you really find things for me to do..." Xi Honglei muttered to himself, then rubbed his hair and started rolling on the bed.
After a sleepless night, Xi Hong burst into tears and was picked up by people from the palace the next morning. He didn't even have time to go back to Xi Mansion and talk to Lin Wanru.
Ran Yunshang was naturally very happy that Xi Honglei could enter the palace. But like Xi Honglei, Ran Yunshang also didn't understand the reason why Ran Yunpo brought Xi Honglei into the palace.
"This is your room." Ran Yunshang opened the door, turned around and waved away the palace maid who was following her, and said to Xi Honglei, "I live next door, it's very convenient."
"Yeah." Xi Honglei glanced around the room, which was several times larger than hers in Xi Mansion, and nodded hesitantly. He put his luggage on the table, and Xi Honglei sat on the chair with a tired look on his face.
He looked at Ran Yunshang with interest and said, "After turning around, I finally entered the palace."
"Since you're here, don't think so much. It's a good choice to live in a different environment for a while occasionally." Ran Yunshang comforted Xi Honglei's emotions. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. No one said anything else.
After Honglei arranged her luggage, the two sat together again and started chatting.
"Princess, how have you considered Li Yingluo's matter?" Xi Honglei picked up the fruit on the table, took a bite, and asked, "Aren't you going to find her?"
"Have you found out who she likes?" When Li Yingluo was mentioned, Ran Yunshang's expression began to change. Looking at Xi Honglei curiously, Ran Yunshang narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Mo Shangli, a very interesting name, is also very famous in the world. I found it immediately after a search." Xi Honglei told Ran Yunshang the news that Zheng Siqi found. "Many people know this name, it is no small matter.
"
"Li Yingluo, Mo Shangli." Ran Yunshang whispered their names, and raised her eyebrows with interest, "Interesting. I will send someone to call Li Yingluo right now."
Come!"
Xi Honglei watched Ran Yunshang walk out of the room with a happy face, and then came back quickly. Thinking of her uncle, who was the Prime Minister Xi Qingzhu, Xi Honglei asked: "Princess, if I live in the palace, will it be okay?"
Any chance of meeting my uncle?"
"Of course. The Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, the Minister, and the Grand Scholar will enter the palace every day, so it will be easy if you want to see the Prime Minister." Ran Yunshang answered Xi Honglei's question without any precautions.
"Doctor Yushi?" Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunshang curiously, "It is the official position second only to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, right?"
"Don't let that old man hear this." Xi Honglei's words made Ran Yunshang laugh immediately. "He seems to be very concerned about being under Prime Minister Xi. I don't know the general details. Anyway, those things in the officialdom
, you also understand."
"Understood." After Xi Honglei found out some information, she naturally became honest and stopped asking any more questions. Because she was afraid of asking too many questions. If the imperial censor died soon, Ran Yunshang would definitely suspect her.
.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Li Yingluo finally appeared in front of Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang. He bowed to Ran Yunshang in a proper manner, and Li Yingluo asked softly: "I wonder why the princess is looking for Yingluo?"
"There are no outsiders, please sit down." Ran Yunshang pointed to the chair next to him and said: "Of course I am here to find you because of General Song's affairs. Everyone knows it well, so there is no need to go around in circles."
Xi Honglei sat aside with a faint smile and glanced at Ran Yunshang and Li Yingluo. Seeing that neither of them took the initiative to speak, Xi Honglei had no choice but to be the one to lead the conversation.
Xi Honglei coughed twice and looked at Li Yingluo with a smile. Facing Li Yingluo's puzzled gaze, Xi Honglei said softly: "I have already investigated your matter. Who is the person you like?
Mo Shangli, right?"
Xi Honglei's words made Li Yingluo's eyes become a little cold. Xi Honglei looked at the change in Li Yingluo's expression and quickly continued: "Don't look at me like that, I'm doing this all for your own good."
"how do I say this?"
"How can we help you if we don't know who you like?" Xi Honglei raised an eyebrow and said, "If we don't investigate clearly, neither the princess nor I can do anything."
Xi Honglei's confession made Li Yingluo slowly get rid of his unhappy mood. Looking at Xi Honglei who spoke helplessly, Li Yingluo simply moved his body, adjusted to a comfortable posture, and continued
Listen to her talk. After listening to Xi Honglei tell her the next plan, Li Yingluo slightly opened his mouth in surprise, and froze there in a daze, without making a sound for a long time.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Li Yingluo was stunned for a long time before he recovered.
"Don't you dare?" Xi Honglei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Or are you saying that you can't let go of your current identity?"
Li Yingluo did not answer Xi Honglei's question, but smiled and sighed, and finally said meaningfully: "You are really brave."
Li Yingluo promised to cooperate with Xi Honglei's actions. In other words, she couldn't refuse. After all, Princess Ran Yunshang sat aside without saying anything and acquiesced to Xi Honglei's plan. What could she say?
Li Yingluo was sent to the exit of the palace by Ran Yunshang and Xi Honglei, and she couldn't help but feel a little flattered. After Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang sent Li Yingluo away, they walked slowly back to their residence, chatting as they walked.
"Honglei." Ran Yunshang's eyes suddenly flashed, he looked at a person walking slowly in the distance, and whispered to Xi Honglei beside him: "Look, that is the imperial censor."
Xi Honglei quickly followed Ran Yunshang's gaze and asked puzzledly: "What is he doing in the palace at this time?"
"He is not in good health, so my father allows him to come to the palace regularly and let the imperial doctors help him with his illness."
Poor health……
When Xi Honglei heard these four words, a bright light instantly flashed across her eyes. She watched the imperial censor walk up to Ran Yunshang, said some polite words and then turned around and left. Xi Honglei's mouth slowly turned.
An evil and sycophantic smile slowly emerged.
Perhaps, it is not that difficult to kill this imperial censor.
"Princess, can I go back to Xi Mansion now?" Xi Honglei stopped and said, "I didn't tell my family that I was going to the palace. I was worried that my mother would be anxious if she didn't have any news about me."
"Okay, I'll send someone to see you off." Ran Yunshang nodded in a reasonable manner and found someone to take Xi Honglei back to Xi Mansion.
After Xi Honglei returned to Xi Mansion, the first thing she did was to go back to her room and find some medicines she had prepared in her spare time.
The imperial censor is sick, so the best way to deal with Xi Honglei is to use his medicine. Generally, such high-ranking officials are very afraid that they will die. If Xi Honglei creates something for him,
The illusion made him feel that his health was getting worse and worse, and if his condition worsened, he would definitely seek medical treatment in a hurry. At that time, Xi Honglei would be able to take action against him.
Holding a white porcelain bottle in her hand, Xi Honglei walked out of the room and quickly arrived at Lin Wanru's residence. In a few words, she told Lin Wanru that she was going to the palace, and after calming Lin Wanru's emotions, she left quickly.
After leaving Xi Mansion, he came to the Prince Chu Mansion and found Zheng Siqi and Hua'er who had not left here yet.
Pulling Zheng Siqi into the room, Xi Honglei handed her the white porcelain bottle with a solemn expression, and whispered: "Tonight, sneak into the imperial censor's house and spread the contents to that gentleman.
On clothes, on the bed and other places where he can come into contact."
"Why should I help you?" Zheng Siqi looked at the things in her hands, then at Xi Honglei, and asked coldly.
"This is your master's order. If you don't want to do it, just go to him and tell him. It doesn't matter to me." Xi Honglei put all the responsibilities on Leng Xiao without even thinking about it. "Remember,
It’s best to put it on his close-fitting clothing, so that it can be effective in the shortest time.”
