Chapter 321: Hongming Palace
"Sure enough, Ah Ran is still Ah Ran......" Rong Xi said with a little sigh.
These words also brought Xiu Ziqi on the side back to his senses, because of Yu Ran's departure, he took two steps closer to the bed, and then said in a somewhat complicated manner: "Princess, she is ...... this"
"Ah Ran she has always been like this, and you don't know it in your childhood." Rong Xian's gaze tossed and turned in front of the empty bead curtain tent at the door, and he only smiled lightly, without showing any other special expression.
When Xiu Ziqi heard this, he was silent for a while, and then turned back to the topic, "Childe, Su Jiu was in a hurry just now, and he said that he had something to hand over to the princess. I also sent someone to investigate, and today there was a letter quietly sent from the Hongming Hall of the Third Highness, which was instructed to be sent to the Taifu Mansion outside the palace. Listening to what Childe said to the princess just now, did Childe already know that His Royal Highness would immediately seek the princess's help in order to save his life and status? β
Rong Xi hooked the corners of his lips, leaned on the bed rail behind him quite lazily, and then said indifferently: "Brother Sanhuang, he is a person who likes to pursue interests, according to the current situation in the court, Ah Ran is the Taifu Yujin who is the superior among the courtiers, and her father admires her very much, so that she is deeply relied on by her father." That's why he immediately targeted Ah Ran's body before, wanting to make Ah Ran his own. And now although the crown prince has died, the position of the prince cannot be left unattended for a day, and there will be a new prince in the future.
"Ah Ran is too dazzling, no matter where she is, what kind of appearance she transforms, she is like this. Therefore, even if the Third Emperor Brother is thinking about his own future and future, he must take a lot of risks at this moment to send a letter to Ah Ran, the purpose is to hope that Ah Ran can help him get out of this predicament, and he can rise to prominence in the future. β
"In this way, it turns out that the prince and the princess have long expected the thoughts that the Third Highness will have." Xiuzi nodded with admiration on his face.
Rong Xi smiled and said: "Even if there is no one to help, Ah Ran can anticipate the unpredictable things of others alone, and hole the unknowable hearts of others, which is enough to be a person of the people, the most of the kings." β
"Childe still loves to praise the princess so much." Xiuzi answered.
"I'm not complimenting her, I'm telling the truth. If a person is not even willing to see the facts, then he is living like a cloud, and he can't see himself clearly. Rong Xian's eyes drooped slightly, and he smiled indifferently. His tone sounded light, as if the next moment it would turn into a cloud of smoke and disappear.
And looking at Yu Ran again, when she returned to the side hall, she bumped into Su Jiu who was waiting at the door of the side hall.
"Your Highness." Su Jiu first bowed respectfully towards Yu Ran, and then immediately took out a letter from his cuff, presented it to Yu Ran with both hands, and explained with her lips: "Your Highness, this is the third prince Murong Yi sent someone to secretly send out of the palace to the Taifu Mansion. β
Yuran took the envelope, tore it gently, and then gently picked it with her slender fingertips, and the letter paper placed inside was pulled out by her. The handwriting on the letter paper was a little messy, and she quickly glanced at the general content of the letter, then chuckled, and slowly put down the hand holding the letter.
"But he wants to ask His Highness for help?" Su Jiu asked.
Yuran didn't respond, so she simply handed over the letter directly.
Su Jiu took the letter, and also looked at it quickly, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that the third prince of Huaguo was really afraid of death." β
"No one is not afraid of death." Yuran said with a smile.
Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "It is indeed as His Highness said." β
"Then Your Highness is going to go to Hongming Hall secretly tonight?" Su Jiu asked.
"Since this third prince is so graciously invited, then why should I refuse him?" Yu Ran smiled lightly, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked like a cold moon, and she smiled lightly but elegantly.
Su Jiu nodded, "Your Highness is right. β
Yu Ran walked into the room with Su Jiu, she thought for a while, and continued to speak: "By the way, how is Huajun there recently?" β
"On the day His Royal Highness left the palace, Hua Jun only summoned His Highness once, I pretended to be His Royal Highness, Hua Jun didn't notice anything unusual, I just picked some ordinary trivial things to tell him." Su Jiu responded.
Yu Ran pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "The crown prince died too suddenly outside the palace, Hua Jun will definitely not fully believe that it was secretly designed by the third prince." In other words, rather than believing that this matter was only done by the third prince himself, he was more willing to believe that Rong Xi might have done something in it. Therefore, the words he said in front of him as a red-clothed person may not be able to calm him down, he will definitely secretly send hidden guards to sneak around the Yunhua Palace, which may require you to pay more attention, and also let the people of the Red Moon Pavilion in the palace deal with it carefully, and not show the slightest hint of horsetails. β
Su Jiu stood sideways, and shook her fists deeply at Yuran, her eyes were firm, as if she also knew the importance of this matter. She said resolutely: "Yes, Your Highness, Su Jiu will definitely live up to His Highness's trust." β
Yu Ran pulled two books from the shelves, then returned to the table and sat down, she looked around the room, and then smiled at Su Jiu and said, "You and Fan Wen have cleaned up this place too cleanly. β
When Su Jiu heard this, he also smiled, "Although His Highness always lives in the main hall of His Highness Rong now, it can't make His Highness, who rarely returns to live in the side hall, feel that the house is messy." β
"Allow him...... Admittedly clingy like a child. Yu Ran paused slightly between words, as if she was quite distressed about how to describe Rong Xian.
Su Jiu blinked, "Your Highness, Your Highness Rong is not like a child, he only pretended to be a clingy child when he saw His Highness." β
"Forcibly wanting to leave something that doesn't belong to him in the first place, isn't this the nature of a child?" Yu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, chuckled and shook his head.
Su Jiu was stunned, and smiled helplessly: "What Your Highness said is always reasonable. β
Yu Ran looked at Su Jiu and smiled silently, her expression now looked as if she was saying: You obviously don't think so.
It's just that she doesn't want to delve too much into these things that don't mean much. She flipped through the book in her hand, and then as if something suddenly crossed her mind, she looked at Su Jiu and asked, "By the way, do you know where Princess Nangong is now?" β
Su Jiu pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Your Highness rushed back to the palace yesterday, calculate the time, Princess Nangong's carriage and horse will arrive around noon tomorrow." β
"Tomorrow at noon......" Yu Ran nodded to himself, "Okay, I see." β
"It seems that that Princess Nangong's temperament can really please His Royal Highness." Su Jiu couldn't help laughing.
Yu Ran hooked the corners of her lips, "You're well-informed." β
"If I don't have any information here, then Your Highness will probably blame me." Su Jiu touched his hair.
"Yes, yes, it's your reason the most." Tamarin smiled and nodded gently.
Su Jiu thought about it, and as if he had thought of something, he asked, "By the way, Your Highness, then does that Princess Nangong know Her Royal Highness's true identity?" β
"She didn't know that I was Helian Yu, but she guessed by mistake that I was the pavilion master of the Red Moon Pavilion." Yu Ran thought of this, and smiled helplessly.
"But what if Princess Nangong enters the palace of King Hua in the future, and you meet Your Highness?" Su Jiu hesitated a little.
Yu Ran said casually: "I will show my true face in this King Hua's palace only when I am red, and the red-clothed person is originally a person in the Red Moon Pavilion in the eyes of many people in the palace, even if I meet her in the future, she will still think that I came here from the Red Moon Pavilion only because I was appointed by Huajun." Butβafter all, everything I have to do in King Hua's palace in the future is more risky, and if one day my true identity is revealed, it must be understandable. There are some things, let's take it one step at a time. β
"Your Highness is right." Su Jiu nodded.
"Okay, you go down first, I'll read the book for a while, and take advantage of the dark sky to go to Hongming Palace." Yu Ran said with a smile at Su Jiu.
"Yes, Your Highness." Su Jiu gave Yu Ran another look, then turned and retreated.
At night, Yuran dressed himself as Taifu Yujin, quietly walked out of the Yunhua Hall alone, walked all the way to the palace where the princes lived, and then sneaked in from the entrance of the apse of the Hongming Palace.
Sometimes Yuran also has to sigh that Rong Xi is so elegant, she doesn't live in the prince's bedroom, but wants to move to the Yunhua Palace, which is in the deepest part of the palace, where she once lived. In this regard, Yu Ran really didn't know if he should be satisfied with Rong Xi's choice.
The outside of the Hongming Hall is indeed heavily guarded, and Yu Ran is also extremely cautious. However, Murong Yi said in the letter that it had been arranged to temporarily set aside a short period of time for Yuran to enter and exit the apse, and when Yuran walked to the small door outside the apse, she did find that the original guards were not in place, so she didn't have to spend too much effort.
As for the hall, Yu Ran glanced around and found that it was quite deserted, and from time to time a few maidservants walked by, far from the bustle and glory of the past.
It seems that the closure of the palace still has a great impact on Murong Yi, which directly made him lose his prestige and status.
When Yu Ran secretly probed into the inner hall, he saw Murong Yi sitting on the table, and there was only a pot of wine on the table, a few scattered wine glasses, and the side dishes on the top had not even been eaten.
Yuran's figure moved, and when he shook his body and came to Murong Yi, he brought a slight cool breeze, and the candle flame made a "swish" sound, and he couldn't help but sway a little.
