The evil prince is wrapped around his body

Chapter 71 The identity of the cold owl

After Ran Yunpo and Ran Yunhao returned to the palace, they parted ways.Coming in front of Shu Rumei, Ran Yunpo who smelled of alcohol made Shu Rumei frown involuntarily.

Ran Yunpo looked at Shu Ru's frowning, and asked in a low voice, "You called me over so late, what happened?"

Shu Rumei glanced at Ran Yunpo, lowered her head and played with the Buddhist beads in her hand. "I heard that Mu Yunmeng left the palace with red tears?"

"En." Ran Yunpo nodded, a little annoyed that Shu Rumei brought up this matter again.

"Po'er, go and investigate Mu Yunmeng tomorrow. Mother suspects that he is that Leng Xiao." After a short pause, Shu Rumei continued before Ran Yunpo could ask any questions: "Lin Wanru is gone, The entire Xifu is looking for her now. You also send someone to help you find her, and notify me immediately if you find her."

"Mu Yunmeng... is Leng Xiao?" Ran Yunpo repeated Shu Rumei's guess, his brows and eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.Calmly recalling the fight between himself and Leng Xiao, Ran Yunpo gritted his teeth, looked at Shu Rumei, and asked, "Does Lin Wanru's disappearance have anything to do with him?"

"It's not sure yet, but if you can't find it and there is no news of whereabouts, it is very likely that he did it." Shu Rumei sighed faintly, and said with a lonely expression: "Wan Ru knows a lot about my mother. Mother doesn't want to touch her unless it is absolutely necessary. But if she is really taken away by Mu Yunmeng, then Po'er, Lin Wanru, we have to kill her."

Shu Rumei's words made Ran Yunpo startled suddenly, then nodded quickly, and replied: "I understand."

Leaving Shu Rumei's residence, Ran Yunpo only felt that his mind was blank and his mood was extremely complicated.

Could that trash Mu Yunmeng be Leng Xiao?Does it have anything to do with Lin Wanru's disappearance that he took Xi Honglei away from the capital?If this is the case, then he and Xi Honglei... Will he come back?

This thought made Ran Yunpo so irritable that he was on the verge of going crazy, instead of going back directly to Chu Palace, Ran Yunpo made his way to Ran Yunhao's bedroom, and dragged Ran Yunhao up from the bed who was about to go to bed.

"Third brother, what's the matter?" Ran Yunhao sat up with a confused face, looked at the gloomy Ran Yunpo, and asked, "Did the empress scold you?"

Ran Yunpo gave Ran Yunhao a sullen look, snorted coldly, and asked, "Do you think Mu Yunmeng might be Leng Xiao?"

"How can..." Ran Yunhao shook his head reflexively, but before he finished speaking, he stopped automatically.Looking at Ran Yunpo's extremely serious expression, Ran Yunhao stood up from the bed vigilantly, and met Ran Yunpo's sharp eyes, "Why are you so suspicious?"

"It's not impossible, is it?" Ran Yunpo lowered his eyes and said coldly: "I've never thought about this before, because Mu Yunmeng's performance over the years has been too ordinary, like a bereaved dog. But Now there are some things that make me have to doubt this."

As soon as Ran Yunpo's words fell, Ran Yunhao's mind instantly remembered the scene when Mu Yunmeng was praised by everyone when he was a child, and even his father treated him differently from other princes and spoiled him too much.

Since he was a child, Mu Yunmeng has been surrounded by words such as cleverness and high comprehension, so when Ran Yunhao saw Mu Yunmeng's extremely downcast appearance, he had a feeling in an instant that Mu Yunmeng could not It will look like this.But as time passed, year after year, Mu Yunmeng gradually disappeared from their sight.Occasionally seeing Mu Yunmeng was just being reprimanded and insulted by his father Xuan Jingong.

As time passed, Ran Yunhao almost forgot what Mu Yunmeng he first met was like.But after what Ran Yunpo said, Ran Yunhao also felt that it is not impossible that Mu Yunmeng is Leng Xiao...

If Mu Yunmeng is really Leng Xiao, then the fact that he took Xi Honglei away, could it be a scheme that he had planned long ago?

"If Leng Xiao is really him, what are you going to do?" Ran Yunhao asked slowly.

"What I decided to do before is what to do now." Ran Yunpo sat on the chair, stared at the teacup on the table, and said, "Leng Xiao has meddled in my affairs again and again, even if he is not Mu Yunmeng, I have already decided to deal with him."

"Then why don't we start from the Xifu, wouldn't it be an easy thing?" Ran Yunhao frowned, and advised Ran Yunpo: "Whether we want to deal with Leng Xiao or Mu Yunmeng, our first target will be Xi Honglei , there is no doubt about it. Although Xihonglei has nothing to do with us, the people in Xifu have always been very important to her, especially her mother. Third brother, why don't we do something to deal with it? Xifu, what do you think?"

Ran Yunhao's words made Ran Yunpo sigh heavily, and he also wanted to understand the reason for Lin Wanru's disappearance.

"Xi Honglei's mother is gone, and now the entire Xi Mansion is looking for her. As for the Xi Mansion, we can't move casually now. As Mu Yunmeng said, after all, this time he left with Xi Hong Lei, It was approved by the father himself. So until the deadline given by the father, if they don’t act, we can’t do anything. As for the Xifu, you don’t need me to say more, you understand what’s going on. Dragon Marrow Jade It can be said to be the dragon vein of our royal family, unless it is absolutely necessary, we can't move the house."

When the matter involved the dragon marrow jade, it was not just a simple matter.So as soon as Ran Yunpo finished speaking, Ran Yunhao immediately rejected his previous proposal.

"In this case, let's send some people to track down Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei." Ran Yunhao secretly sighed, feeling a little helpless about the current situation.Because no matter what, he never thought that things would become what they are now. "If the people under your command are unreliable, you can find a reason with your father and say that I want to leave the palace. Let me handle this matter."

After discussing with Ran Yunhao, Ran Yunpo felt a little better.Back at Prince Chu's mansion, Ran Yunpo lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.After finally falling asleep, he dreamed of Xi Honglei and Leng Xiao being together and losing.This made Ran Yunpo wake up involuntarily.

Opening his eyes suddenly, Ran Yunpo reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.Frowning secretly, Ran Yunpo couldn't figure out why he dreamed of such a scene.

After a sleepless night, at dawn the next day, Ran Yunpo immediately sent someone to block the gates of the capital first, and everyone who entered or exited the capital had to go through interrogation.Then the rest of the people were divided into two groups, one group went to trace the whereabouts of Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei, and the other group went to Xifu to help find Lin Wanru's whereabouts.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, four days had passed.During these four days, although there was some news about Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei, there was no movement at all on Lin Wanru's side.

Busy and busy, Ran Yunpo has been overwhelmed by the matter of crying.It wasn't until he was summoned into the palace by Shu Rumei again, and when he heard Shu Rumei say that he had found out the whereabouts of Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei, that Ran Yunpo's heart fell to the ground.

"Later, I will let those who investigate them come to Chu Palace to look for you. They are all mother's confidantes. If there is anything, you can ask them to do it." Shu Rumei drank the tea in the cup gracefully, Talk to Ran Yunpo with a smile.Glancing at Ran Yunpo's tired face indiscriminately, Shu Rumei continued: "You don't have to worry too much about the red tears, Po'er, mother will help you. What you should worry about most now is that your father When will the emperor make you the crown prince, and when will he pass the throne to you?"

"Empress mother, father has not even given me the position of crown prince, so how could he pass on the throne to me?" Ran Yunpo could only sneer at Shu Rumei's words.Because he didn't believe at all that he would sit on the dragon chair during his father's lifetime.

"Don't worry about this matter, I will find an opportunity to talk to your father. What you need to do now, Po'er, is to get all the ministers in the court to stand by your side to support you. There are others That is, to defeat other opponents who may threaten you to become the crown prince."

After finishing speaking, Shu Rumei glanced at Ran Yunpo meaningfully, and said softly: "Po'er, mother knows that you have always had a good relationship with Ran Yunhao and others. But mother has to tell you that in front of the throne, anyone has It may become your enemy. So no matter how close your relationship is, if you become your enemy, you must eradicate him without hesitation. As long as the enemy is still alive and against you, you must Attack at all costs until he becomes a piece of trash with no ability to resist, do you understand?"

What Shu Rumei said made Ran Yunpo feel heavy in his heart. He wanted to refute, but when he saw Shu Rumei's eyes flickering with cold light, he consciously swallowed all the words back.All he could do was to say, "Understood."

Shu Rumei looked at Ran Yunpo's appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and only let Ran Yunpo leave after explaining some things to Ran Yunpo.

"Mother, can I ask you a question?"

Ran Yunpo turned around and walked towards the door, but stopped before taking a few steps.Then turned around to look at Shu Rumei, and asked such a question.

"You ask." Shu Ru nodded with a smile on her brows, but after Ran Yunpo asked the question, the smile on her mouth gradually changed.

"The mother of Xi Honglei is Lin Wanru. As a maid in the palace, according to the regulations, it is impossible for her to marry Xi Yuanshan. Why did the queen mother help her with this favor? According to the queen mother's behavior, if Lin Wanru If you really knew something, shouldn't the empress have killed her long ago?"
