Chapter 43 Involuntary

Xi Honglei's probing gaze stayed on Ran Yunhao for a moment, then moved away to look elsewhere.Listening to Ran Yunshang and Ran Yunhao chatting without saying a word, Xi Honglei didn't interrupt to say anything more.But Ran Yunhao didn't seem to be ready to let Xi Honglei go just like that.

"Red tears, you killed the water soluble smoke, right?" Ran Yunhao stared at the red tears' eyes and suddenly asked in a low voice.

Xi Honglei obviously didn't expect that Ran Yunhao would ask himself this question, after a moment of surprise, he pursed his lips and smiled. "Why did the Ninth Prince think of asking this question?"

"I'm just curious! If you killed Shui Rongyan, the third brother didn't do anything to you, it's too abnormal!" After finishing speaking, Ran Yunhao stretched his neck in the direction of Xi Honglei, and looked up and down earnestly. red tears. "Or, what did you do to the third brother?"

"The Ninth Prince really flattered me. If I could do something to Lord Chu, I wouldn't be here now." Xi Honglei said to Ran Yunhao with something in his words: "I killed the water soluble smoke, that's right. However, the Ninth Prince doesn't seem to know the reason for it. I counted as killing the prince, so I can't say anything else about it."

"Destroy harm?" Ran Yunhao looked at Xi Honglei in surprise, not expecting that she would use this word to explain her behavior.A flash of light flashed across his eyes quickly, Ran Yunhao stood up and loosened his muscles and bones, then looked down at Xi Honglei and said, "No matter what, this thing has already happened. And..."

Ran Yunhao paused for a moment, looked at Xi Honglei with a slight smile, and said quietly: "Forget it, I won't tell you. Anyway, you will know later."

After Ran Yunhao left a sentence that made Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang unclear, he left the room.Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang looked at each other, neither of them could understand the meaning of Ran Yunhao's last words.Are there other situations waiting for Xi Honglei to face?

"Red tears." Ran Yunshang calmed down for a moment, looked at Xi Honglei with complicated emotions, and said, "You and I should not have the chance to leave the palace during this time. But being in the palace doesn't mean you are safe. Do you understand? "

"Understood." Xi Honglei nodded and sighed softly.

Ran Yunshang clenched her fists secretly.Xi Honglei killed Shui Rongyan, I don't know if Father Huang and Shu Rumei have heard about it.If they also know, will the wedding date of Honglei and Third Brother be brought forward?After all, the water-soluble smoke was a thorn in their side that they had always wanted to get rid of.

Ran Yunshang hid her worries in her heart, and never explained to Xi Honglei.But the development of things is far beyond Ran Yunshang's imagination.Soon, Shu Rumei summoned Xi Honglei, and Ran Yunshang couldn't sit still.

"You go back first and wait outside the door." Ran Yunshang glanced at the maid in front of her who came to convey the order, and said coldly.After the palace maid left, Ran Yunshang looked at Xi Honglei uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Honglei, do you want me to go with you?"

"Forget it." Xi Honglei saw Ran Yunshang's uneasy expression and smiled slightly. "Since the queen sent someone to call me upright, she won't do anything to me. Don't worry, princess, I won't do anything."

Xi Honglei stood up, comforted Ran Yunshang, then walked out of the room, followed the maid outside the door, and walked slowly to the palace where Shu Rumei was.

Following the maid's guidance, Xi Honglei walked into the room alone.Looking at Shu Rumei who was sitting on the soft couch with a smile like a flower, and Xi Hongli who was waiting beside her, Xi Honglei knelt on the ground with tense nerves, lowered her head and said: "Xi Honglei has seen the queen."

"No, no, get up." Shu Ru looked at Xi Honglei with a smile on his face, then turned his head to look at Xi Hongli, and said, "Hong Li, you go out first, I have something to say. Talk to Honglei."

Xi Hongli's eyes flashed, she didn't say anything, and followed Shu Rumei's words obediently, and walked out of the room.

Xi Honglei and Shu Rumei were alone in the room, pretending to be calm on the surface, but their minds were already in a mess.What does Shu Rumei want to say to herself?Isn't Xi Hongli her personal maid or her confidant?What could it be that she couldn't even listen to the breath?

"Honglei, come and sit." Shu Rumei waved at Xi Honglei, motioning her to sit beside him.

With red tears streaming down her eyes, she obediently sat down.Listening to Shu Rumei's distressed tone, she asked: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are there so many injuries on my body? Have you seen the imperial physician?"

Xi Honglei shook her head lightly, and replied: "It's just some skin trauma, don't bother the imperial doctor to see it, it will heal after a while."

"You girl..." Shu Rumei looked at Xi Honglei helplessly, patted Xi Honglei's head lightly, and began to bring the topic to the right place. "Red tears, I heard that you got rid of that woman named Water-Soluble Smoke?"

Is it really for this matter?

Xi Honglei's heart sank, and the feeling of uneasiness became more obvious.Although Xi Honglei has always understood that the emperor and the empress are paying attention to the movements of Ran Yunpo and Shui Rongyan, but they did not expect their news to be so well-informed.

Seeing Xi Honglei's panicked look, Shu Rumei took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I didn't call you here today to punish you."

"Back to the queen, it was indeed Honglei who accidentally missed and killed the water soluble smoke..." Xi Honglei frowned, and answered Shu Rumei with her head bowed.Because she didn't raise her head to look at Shu Rumei, she didn't see Shu Rumei's expression at this moment.It wasn't until hearing Shu Rumei's chuckle that Xi Honglei raised her head in doubt, and looked directly at Shu Rumei's smile.

"Look at you. The water-soluble smoke is dead, and the palace and the emperor are too happy, so how can they blame you?!" Shu Rumei did not hide her boredom with the water-soluble smoke, and her satisfaction with Xi Honglei's doing so. . "The emperor and I already know about this, and the emperor will also reward you. Although there is nothing in this palace that I can reward you, but..."

Shu Ru tilted her eyebrows and looked at Xi Honglei with a smile, which made her feel panicked.

"Honglei, Po'er should have mentioned to you about his marriage to you, right?"

"I mentioned it." Xi Honglei nodded reluctantly.Cautiously asked: "Queen, you didn't force him...?"

"Haha, how could it be! It was Po'er himself and Ben Gong who mentioned it." The question of Xi Honglei made Shu Rumei laugh, "My Majesty and I are very happy that Po'er can do this, but Honglei yours There may be a little problem with identity."

Mentioning the identity of Xi Honglei's concubine, Shu Rumei sighed in embarrassment.But soon, the gloomy expression was swept away from her face.

"But it's not difficult. You removed a water-soluble smoke for the palace and the emperor, and the child Yunshang also likes you very much. So the palace decided to accept you as a righteous daughter, and the emperor also drew up an imperial decree and The notice is ready to inform your family and the people of the world. In this way, it will not be a problem for you to marry Po'er and become the princess of Chu."

Adopted daughter? !

Xi Honglei froze for a moment, then looked at Shu Rumei with a dull expression.Hearing Shu Rumei continue to talk to herself about Ran Yunpo and her marriage, Xi Honglei felt her head was muddled and her heart sank again and again.

It seemed that she really couldn't escape in this calamity.

Leaving Shu Rumei's room, Xi Honglei saw Xi Hongli who had been guarding there at the door.Seeing Xi Hongli's gloomy gaze, Xi Honglei secretly sighed.Unknowingly, she offended another person, and it was her own sister.I don't know how Si Niang Li Qianning will react after receiving this news?

But then again, if she becomes the adopted daughter of the queen, she will marry into the Prince Chu's mansion.So no matter whether the people in Xifu are willing or not, no matter what objections Li Guilan and the others have, will Lin Wanru's identity also change?Wouldn't it be a good thing for Lin Wanru to be righted upright?

Xi Honglei walked back dizzily, and returned to her residence, where she saw Ran Yunshang with an anxious expression on her face.Under Ran Yunshang's repeated persecution, Xi Honglei revealed why Shu Rumei was looking for her.

After Ran Yunshang heard the words of Xi Honglei, she was so excited that she immediately jumped up.This made the red tears who were still a little confused immediately become sober.

Blinking her eyes, she looked at Ran Yunshang with tears in her eyes.I was getting married, so I wasn't very excited, but why did Ran Yunshang react so strongly?

After Ran Yunshang stood up, she also noticed that her behavior was a bit extreme.Biting her lower lip, Ran Yunshang sat down slowly under the gaze of tears.After being quiet for a while, he asked softly, "Honglei, do you still like my third brother?"

"Why did the princess ask such a question?" Xi Honglei was a little surprised that Ran Yunshang would ask such a question.

"It's okay, just asking casually." Ran Yunshang's slightly sad expression made Xi Honglei realize that she was not just asking casually.

A strange atmosphere lingered in the entire room silently.Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunshang carefully, and after thinking for a while, she asked aloud, "Princess, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Ran Yunshang's expression suddenly changed when he said that he was crying.With his eyes wide open, Ran Yunshang looked at the red tears in disbelief, and it took a long time before Ran Yunshang made a sound again.Slowly said: "It's nothing... It's just that I don't want you to marry third brother."

What Ran Yunshang said made Xi Honglei find it funny. Could it be that in Ran Yunshang's heart, there is someone who is a good match for him?The corners of the mouth raised, Xi Honglei asked curiously: "Who does the princess want me to marry?"

"Brother Yunmeng." Ran Yunshang looked at Xi Honglei with a firm expression, and said in a calm tone, "I hope the person you marry is Brother Yunmeng."
