The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 110 Hidden danger or evil fate
Seeing Ran Hai's resolute attitude, the Empress Dowager sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, can I really have to surrender to Nanjiang? In the future, when Ai's family is under the Nine Springs, what face will I have to meet the late Emperor?"

"Hahahahaha." Ran Hai laughed and said, "Sister, don't be so naive. When a person dies, nothing happens, and only when he lives can he have hope. Since Zhaoxuan Kingdom is destined not to have the surname Ran, why should our Ran family do it for others? The world is devastated, and now the most important thing is to save life."

The Empress Dowager shook her head again and said: "But you have been reduced to the fourth rank now, and I am afraid that many centers are no longer within your reach. What kind of bargaining chip can you use to trade with Nanjiang?"

"Humph!" Ran Hai snorted softly and said, "Ye Junyan thought that I would be unable to do so if I was demoted? Don't forget that I have been the prime minister of two dynasties. , The roar shook all directions! How can the foundation I have laid for decades be emptied by Ye Junyan in such a short time?"

After pondering for a moment, the empress dowager nodded helplessly and said: "It seems that this is the only way to go. Now that Gu Xinning is by the emperor's side, it is impossible to poison the emperor again. I still have to keep Xiao Huizi in the palace outside." ?"

Regarding the existence of 'Little Huizi', the Empress Dowager has always felt uneasy. She always feels that if this person stays in the palace for a day longer, things will be in danger of being exposed, so she has always been worried about this. With repeated insistence, the empress dowager had already tried to get rid of this scourge.

Ran Hai couldn't help but frowned and said: "Well, this matter really needs to be paid attention to, that is, Concubine Yun has already had feelings for Xiao Huizi, I am afraid that if we dispose of Xiao Huizi, it will make Concubine Yun Do something stupid to sabotage our actions."

The empress dowager sighed and said: "The Ai family also saw that the emperor has been estranged from Concubine Yun for a long time. Concubine Yun will inevitably fall in love with Xiao Huizi at this time, but this is a big hidden worry after all, we must guard against it."

Ran Hai nodded and said: "Well, I understand, I will go to Zhongcui Palace in a while, and find out what Concubine Yun has said."

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, and had no other better way, so she had to say: "Well, it's better to listen to her idea first."

"It's not too late, I'm going to Zhongcui Palace right now." While saying this, Ran Hai had already stood up, and bowed to the empress dowager to leave.

At this time, Ran Yunmo was annoyed about being blocked by the empress dowager. Originally, she had specially asked the people from the Shangyi Bureau to make a luxurious new dress for herself, and she was about to wear it for Xiao Huizi to admire, so she went Early in the morning, she happily dressed in Qibi, put on her makeup, and went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace with excitement and anticipation to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

Unexpectedly, just after asking for peace, when she was about to be inferior to the backyard as usual, she was stopped by the empress dowager and said to herself, "Things may change today, you should go back first and wait for news in Zhongcui Palace." '

At that time, after hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Ran Yunmo was taken aback for a moment, and then begged politely: "The concubine only goes in to show him whether my new dress is pretty, and then comes out. I will never stay for long."

Originally, I pleaded with the empress dowager, and the empress dowager would usually agree, not to mention pleading in this tone, the empress dowager never refused me, but who knew it was different this time, not only did the empress dowager reject herself, she even showed a smile on her face. He said to himself with a displeased expression: "The Ai family has already said that today is not the right time, you should go back first."

Ran Yunmo wanted to beg again, but seeing the empress dowager's resolute gaze and relentless attitude, she knew that something might have happened that made the empress dowager worry, so she couldn't say anything more, so she had to be full of heart. Unhappy and unwilling, he reluctantly bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, then turned and left the Compassionate Ning Palace.

On the way back to the Compassion Ning Palace, Ran Yunmo heard some palace servants whispering that the emperor was already in trouble, and what surprised Ran Yunmo even more was that they even said that Gu Xinning, who was already dead, had miraculously recovered. Resurrected, and has returned to Qinzheng Palace.

When she heard the news at that time, Ran Yunmo thought that these people had gone to hell and made it up, but when she thought about the empress dowager's attitude towards her today, Ran Yunmo felt a little unusual again.He thought to himself: "Is there really any magical secret technique that can revive a dead person? But even if there is a magic technique that can revive a private person, Gu Xinning has already turned into ashes, so can he be restored? Impossible, absolutely impossible." Ran Yunmo returned to Zhongcui Palace full of doubts and disbelief.

After returning to Zhongcui Palace, Ran Yunmo felt that Gu Xinning must have been deliberately fabricated by someone, but why did the emperor wake up?Ran Yunmo couldn't figure it out, thought for a while, and when she couldn't figure it out, Ran Yunmo simply stopped thinking about it, and started thinking about Xiao Huizi again.

Thinking of how well-dressed I was to show Xiao Huizi admiration, but in the end I was blocked back without even seeing him, and my heart was full of displeasure and sense of loss.

Ran Yunmo was sitting alone in the room, annoyed to pull out the few gold hairpins that had been carefully inserted on her head before, and threw them on the table in annoyance, when she suddenly heard a voice coming from her palace outside. The voice of the little eunuch said: "The Prime Minister is here, and the servant greets the Prime Minister."

Ran Yunmo, who was depressed and worrying, heard Ran Hai's arrival, her expression turned pale, she quickly withdrew her mind, stood up and went out to meet her.

After welcoming Ran Hai into the room, Ran Yunmo quickly turned around and closed the door, walked up to Ran Hai and asked, "Father, I heard someone say that the emperor has woken up, is it true?"

Ran Hai nodded and said: "Well, the emperor has woken up, and he went to court today, and once he went to court, he demoted the old man to the fourth rank, hum!"

"What? Daddy was demoted? How could this happen?" Ran Yunmo said to herself.

Ran Hai said angrily: "Why else? It's not because of Gu Xinning. In order to lure Gu Xinning, he arrested some officials who had old friends with Gu Jingzhou, so he caught him."

Suddenly hearing Gu Xinning's name, Ran Yunmo's expression froze, and suddenly remembered the rumors she had heard, she quickly pulled Ran Hai and asked in disbelief: "By the way, I heard that Gu Xinning is back today? How is this possible?" , they must be talking nonsense, right?"

Seeing Ran Yunmo's belated look, Ran Hai couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Oh, you have been in the rain for a long time now, and you don't want to leave. Don't you know that I dealt with those officials in the court before?" ?"

Ran Yunmo was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Ran Hai said that, so she replied puzzledly: "Daughter heard about it again, but I heard that Daddy found out that they were related to helping Gu Xinning enter the palace, and I thought it might be Daddy who was in court. Political enemies, I didn’t think much about it, is there something wrong with these people?”

"You!" Ran Hai couldn't help but a nameless anger rushed into his heart, he waved his long sleeves, shook off Ran Yunmo's hand and said, "If it wasn't for drawing Gu Xinning out, why would I take the risk of putting myself on the verge of death?" .”

"Ah!" After hearing the words, Ran Yunmo realized the seriousness of the problem, and said softly, "So Gu Xinning is really still alive?"

Ran Hai nodded and said: "Yes, and she has already returned to the palace, and the emperor officially gave her back the title of concubine Ning. Now she continues to live in the Qinzheng Hall in a fair and honest manner."

"What? How did this happen? Her crime is enough to kill her ten times. Doesn't the emperor care about the overall situation at all?" Ran Yunmo asked in surprise.

"The overall situation? The emperor just used the overall situation to get her off the hook. Now all the civil and military officials in the court agree with her return to the palace." Ran Hai said angrily, and then narrated what happened in the court hall with Ran Yunmo.

After hearing this, Ran Yunmo sat paralyzed on the chair, at a loss for a long time. Ran Hai looked at Ran Yunmo and said, "You were originally a thoughtful person, but after you fell into the sea of ​​desire, you became so dull. Father is still considering how to deal with Hui'an, and now it seems that this person can no longer be kept."

When Ran Yunmo, who was still in shock, heard Ran Hai's words, she immediately stood up, pulled Ran Hai's sleeves and begged: "Father, don't, I can't do without him now, if you want to get rid of him, why don't you even get rid of him?" Let me get rid of it too."

Ran Hai slapped Ran Yunmo on the face with a "slap" and said angrily: "What are you talking about? You actually want to threaten your father with your own life for a slave? The old man has raised you for so many years, and it was all for nothing. Already!"

Ran Yunmo was slapped on the face, but she still didn't dare to hesitate and begged: "Daughter will never forget that she is from the Ran family, but please let him go, my daughter is willing to give up everything in exchange .”

Ran Hai sighed and said: "Do you know that the current situation is already imminent, as a father, I can still stand here and talk to you, all thanks to the support of the Empress Dowager and you. Even the empress dowager will be implicated!"

"No, my daughter will definitely not let this happen. From then on, my daughter must be cautious and will not visit Hui'an frequently. As long as Daddy keeps him, my daughter will obey Daddy's arrangement in everything." Ran Yunmo was in a hurry He continued to plead with 'Xiao Huizi'.

Ran Hai thought for a while and said, "Weifu can promise you not to kill him, but he can no longer stay in the palace."

Although Ran Hai said so, Ran Yunmo has been by Ran Hai's side for many years and knows Ran Hai's temper, but Ran Hai will eradicate any person, thing, or thing that Ran Hai thinks is a threat to him, regardless of the cost. Said it was just a stopgap measure, once Xiao Huizi really left the palace, Ran Hai might silence her at any time.And for Ran Yunmo, she really couldn't let go of Xiao Huizi.

Now that I haven't seen Xiao Huizi for a day, I feel inexplicably worried. If I never see Dudu again, Ran Yunmo can't even imagine, so she continues to beg Ran Hai, hoping that Ran Hai can keep Xiao Huizi in the palace, and she will never See him casually, but Ran Hai never agrees.

Seeing Ran Hai's resolute attitude, Ran Yunmo suddenly laughed wildly, pushed Ran Hai away, messed up her hair completely, and roared: "Okay, go kill him, you go kill him, if you kill him, I will follow him He died together, what kind of father are you? For your own power, regardless of your daughter's happiness, you forced me into the palace to suffer every day, I've had enough, I don't want to live anymore. Hahahaha."

Ran Yunmo suddenly wanted to lose her sanity and roared, and began to tear the curtain beside the bed, smashing the utensils on the table, Ran Hai saw Ran Yunmo's crazy behavior, and knew that she was demonstrating to him, Resisting, but helpless, you can't really force your daughter to die, can you?
Besides, even if you really forced Ran Yunmo to death, what good would it do you?Not only will it not be beneficial, but it may also bury other bigger hidden dangers. After thinking about it, there is nothing to do. In the end, he just waited to see Ran Yunmo who had fallen into madness, turned around and walked out of the room with a helpless "ah".

Ran Yunmo continued to go crazy, beating the tables, chairs and benches in the room, after about half an hour, when Ran Yunmo thought that Ran Hai should have gone far, she suddenly stopped and sat back on the bed quietly, After regaining his calm, he began to fall into deep thought again, and almost forgot to call the servants to come in and tidy up the room.
