Chapter 85 Cause of death

"Since you think so clearly, then you may figure out why and what is the reason and purpose for me to let you go back to the capital?" Mu Yunmeng continued to ask with a meaningful smile after listening to the sarcasm from the red tears. road.

"You just want to deal with Prince Chu and the Queen, and I don't have any other value that you can use, do you?!" A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xi Honglei's mouth.She stared at Mu Yunmeng intently, and when Xi Honglei saw Mu Yunmeng nodded without concealment, she could only remain silent, unable to say anything.

"I just like your cleverness." Mu Yunmeng stood up in satisfaction, and walked outside.When he reached the door, Mu Yunmeng pushed open the door and did not walk out of the room immediately, but stopped, turned his head, met Xi Honglei's eyes, and said in a low voice: "The wedding date between you and Prince Chu is also It's almost here, get ready when you go back."

After Mu Yunmeng finished speaking, he closed the door and left without looking back.So he didn't see the pale face and tightly clenched fists that instantly turned pale with red tears.

After Mu Yunmeng left, it took a long time for Xi Honglei to calm herself down.But the pain in her heart was beyond her control.

Go back and get ready for the wedding with Prince Chu.

Ha ha.

With red tears tearing at the corner of his mouth, he smiled coldly.Thanks to him, Mu Yunmeng, for saying such things.

His mind was blank, and he slowly crawled to the bed with red tears, covered his face with the quilt, and lay there quietly all the time.Even when Feng Rusong came to ask her to have dinner, Xi Honglei didn't move, she just closed her eyes firmly, ignoring anyone.

At dawn the next day, Xi Honglei, Mu Yunmeng, and Shukuang headed towards the capital together.Because there was no disguise, and no preparations were made, but they entered Beijing from the checkpoint openly.So the news of their return quickly reached Ran Yunpo's ears.

Ran Yunpo rushed to the palace as quickly as possible, he did not expect that Xi Honglei and Mu Yunmeng would still have the courage to come back.

"This is the thousand-handed thief you were talking about?" Ran Fenghe sat on the dragon chair, looked down at Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei who were kneeling on the ground, and the other man behind them, asked Mu Yunmeng. cloudy.

"That's right, it's him." Mu Yunmeng nodded, answering Ran Fenghe's question. "This time, Xi Honglei used tricks to lure him into the bait, so we were able to capture him successfully."

Mu Yunmeng attributed all the credit to Xi Honglei, which made Ran Fenghe nodded in satisfaction.After taking a look at Xi Honglei, Ran Fenghe thought for a while and said, "Honglei, you go out first and wait for me outside."

"Honglei complies with the order." Xi Honglei heard what Ran Fenghe said, and quickly got up and walked outside the hall.But to her surprise, she saw Ran Yunpo as soon as she went out.

Seeing Ran Yunpo standing in front with a gloomy expression, Xi Honglei paused, then smiled slightly, and walked over slowly. "Honglei met Prince Chu."

Ran Yunpo saw that Xihonglei bowed to himself in a proper manner, and snorted coldly with disdain. "You still know to come back?"

"Honglei's home is here, why don't you come back." Xi Honglei replied as a matter of course, then looked at Ran Yunpo suspiciously, and asked: "Is the prince here to find the emperor?"

Xi Honglei's flawless expression and answer made it impossible for Ran Yunpo to show his power to her for no reason, let alone tell her that the reason why he appeared here was because of her and Mu Yunmeng.Ran Yunpo glanced coldly at the palace behind his red eyes and nodded slowly, "Who's in there now?"

"Mu Yunmeng and the prisoner are not crazy. The prince may have to wait for a while." Xi Honglei talked to Ran Yunpo with a natural expression, as if everything was the same as before. She did not leave with Mu Yunmeng in front of Ran Yunpo. No unpleasantness has occurred.

Ran Yunpo looked at Xihonglei, looking at Xihonglei who was thinner than before, Ran Yunpo didn't know why, but there was a hint of joy in his heart.During the period when she was out with Mu Yunmeng, Honglei couldn't live a good life.

"Why are you still standing here? Aren't you going back to Prince Chu's mansion?" Ran Yunpo came back to reality from contemplation, looked at the red tears, "Do you still have to wait for Mu Yunmeng?"

"What am I waiting for him? The task entrusted to me by the emperor has been completed, and I have nothing to do with him. Prince, don't think about it." Seeing that Ran Yunpo brought the topic to Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei quickly explained: "I'm here because of the emperor's order. He said he will find me later, so I can't go."

Ran Yunpo silently heaved a sigh of relief at Xi Honglei's answer, and the two took two steps forward, then leaned side by side against the wall.Ran Yunpo's mood was complicated and his mind was confused.And Xi Honglei was no better than him.

Ran Fenghe looked seriously at the two kneeling on the ground, and after telling Mu Yunmeng to stand up, Ran Fenghe ordered the "thousand-handed thief" to raise his head.After seeing his appearance clearly, Ran Fenghe was covered with a strong murderous look, and asked: "But you are spreading rumors, saying that you know about the murder of the princess, and that you want to steal my royal family's dragon marrow jade?"

"Back to the emperor, it is indeed a grassroots." Shu Kuang knelt on the ground, answering Ran Fenghe's question. "But there is a reason for Cao Min to say that. Because if I didn't say that I want to steal the dragon marrow jade, the emperor would not send someone to arrest me. There is no way for Shu Kuang to see the emperor here."

"Oh? So, you said that on purpose because you wanted to see me? Then I want to hear, what do you want to say after you see me?" Shukuang's words made Ran Fenghe laugh, and sat on the dragon chair On, Ran Fenghe looked at Shukuang with a contemptuous expression and asked.

"The grass people want to tell the emperor something that the emperor doesn't know." Shu Kuang lowered his voice, looked at Ran Fenghe cautiously, then turned his head to look at Mu Yunmeng, and said in a rather embarrassed way: "Can the emperor let him go first?" go out?"

Ran Fenghe frowned at Shukuang's request, because he wanted to know the cause of Yunshang's death before, and he had already cleared out all the servants in the room, leaving only the three of them here.But now that Shukuang actually proposed to invite Mu Yunmeng out, Ran Fenghe was worried about what kind of trick he was playing, and secondly, he was curious about what the truth would be if he really told the truth.

After thinking for a while, Ran Fenghe nodded and agreed to Shukuang's conditions.After signaling Mu Yunmeng to leave, Ran Fenghe touched his chin with interest, looked at Shukuang whose hands and feet were locked, and said, "Now there is no one else, what do you want to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, what the grass people want to tell the Emperor is the real cause of the princess' death, and who the murderer is." Shu Kuang looked at Ran Fenghe with burning eyes, licked his dry lower lip, and said in a low voice: "Even if the Emperor does not Believe in the grass people, please listen to the grass people's words before beheading the grass people."

"Okay! I promise you!"

"The one who killed the princess was none other than the current queen." Shu Kuang took a deep breath, and under Ran Fenghe's gaze, he gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"Presumptuous! How dare you slander the queen?!"

As soon as Shukuang's words were uttered, Ran Fenghe immediately became furious and went up against the crime.

"Your majesty, haven't you already promised the grass people that even if you want to kill the grass people, you have to wait for the grass people to finish everything?" Shu Kuang saw that Ran Fenghe was so angry, and it was a lie to say that he was not afraid.After all, the one in front of him is the emperor above ten thousand people.

"Okay, okay. Keep talking! I want to see what nonsense you can come up with!" Ran Fenghe nodded angrily, sat down on the chair again, and agreed to let Shukuang continue talking.

"Caomin knew that the emperor would not believe Caomin's words, but it was the truth. The queen beat the princess because she knew something she shouldn't know, and took her out of the palace to kill her brutally. These It was all witnessed by someone with their own eyes. If the emperor is willing to inquire, he can send someone to investigate. A big thing happened in the capital a few days ago. That is all the beggars in the capital, that is, the people in the world Beggar gang disciples. They were all killed and silenced in a short period of time. It was rumored that this was done by a person named 'Leng Xiao'. But in fact it was not the case."

"What does this matter have to do with the death of the princess?" Ran Fenghe couldn't help becoming a little impatient when he heard that Shu Kuang had diverted the topic to other matters.

"Of course it is related, because who brought the princess out of the palace, and who killed the princess in the middle of the night. These were all witnessed by the disciples of the beggar gang. Almost everyone in the world knows it. Those who are well-informed and spread the fastest are none other than the children of the beggar gang. If this news is really spread by them, what will happen? So the murderer had no choice but to kill all the beggars in the city. To silence the murder."

Shukuang spoke clearly and logically, and Ran Fenghe couldn't stop him from continuing to speak indiscriminately.Clenching his fists tightly, Ran Fenghe looked at Shukuang with a solemn expression, and continued to ask: "You mean, those beggars who died in the capital were also caused by the queen? What you said just now, the princess knows things she shouldn't know , what is it?"

"Your Majesty, this... grassroots dare not say it." Shukuang's eyes flickered, he lowered his head, and after sneaking a peek at Ran Fenghe in fear, he hesitated and said such a sentence.

"I told you to say it, so you say it!"

"What the princess knows is..." Seeing that the emperor insisted on knowing the truth, Shukuang had no choice but to risk his life, and said fearfully: "It is the truth that the queen once killed the two empresses in the palace. That's why she was killed. disaster."

Ran Fenghe froze immediately at the words of Shukuang.Because in these years, two people have indeed died in the palace.But how did he know?
