The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 327 Unexpected visitor
"What exactly does this Xi Gongjue want?" Meng Zhaoyang was a little annoyed when he heard this, he was fighting for Ye Anran.

"What should I do? Master, do you want to tell the princess?" Song Bai asked softly.

"This matter, I have my own measure, you should step back first." Meng Zhaoyang sighed.

"Yes, sir."

After the pines and cypresses retreated, Meng Zhaoyang got up and walked towards the west wing...

He was hesitating as he walked, whether he should tell Ye Anran about this matter, if he did, it would be like deliberately breaking up the relationship between the husband and wife, but if he didn't, sooner or later he couldn't hide it, there is nothing impenetrable in this world The wall, not to mention the fact that King Rui'an's new concubine is such a big deal.

Walking to the West Wing, before entering, I saw Ye Anran sitting alone in the small gazebo in the West Wing, wearing a white cloak, looking extremely lonely.

"Anran." Meng Zhaoyang walked over and called softly.

"Brother Meng, are you here?" Ye Anran forced a smile.

"Well, why are you here? It's windy here, let's go in." Meng Zhaoyang said with some distress.

"No, I'm too bored in the room, so I came out to get some air." Afterwards, Ye Anran lowered her head and stopped talking.

"An Ran, can I ask you a question?" Meng Zhaoyang asked tentatively.

"Yes, Brother Meng, please tell me." Ye Anran was always very polite to Meng Zhaoyang, as if there was always a ditch that couldn't be crossed.

"If... I'm just assuming, if the prince doesn't come here to pick you up, then... what are your plans?" Meng Zhaoyang asked slowly.

He looked a little nervous, after all, Ye Anran is that kind of sensitive woman...

Who knew, Ye Anran laughed...

"Brother Meng, I'm also thinking about this question." Ye Anran smiled like a flower.

"An Ran, in fact, you should think about it, don't you? If the prince doesn't come to pick you up for a while, I hope you can stay. The Ye family and our Meng family are life and death friends. You are my best friend. Don't care about it." Whatever other people say, just stay here, the door of my Meng family will always be open for you." Meng Zhaoyang said sincerely.

"Brother Meng, there is always a place for me, Ye Anran. You don't have to worry about this matter. Besides, I think the prince will come to pick me up. He would even give up his life for me. So what? You will break your promise, so it is you who should stop thinking about it." When Ye Anran said this, although his expression was relaxed, his heart was actually extremely entangled.

Because she has become less and less confident, and now she can only be tough and strong in front of others...

"Well, that's good, I hope so too." Meng Zhaoyang smiled faintly.

At this time, before the two could speak, the butler came to report: "Master, there is a visitor."

"Who is it?" The Meng family has visitors almost every day, and Meng Zhaoyang always asks first because some unnecessary guests are dismissed casually.

Who knows, but the steward said slowly: "He claims to be Huai Wang Xi Gongmo."

"King Huai?" Ye Anran and Meng Zhaoyang asked in unison.

"How could King Huai come here?" Ye Anran was the most surprised, because in her impression, she didn't remember any friendship between Xi Gongmo and Meng Zhaoyang.

Meng Zhaoyang was also at a loss: "His Royal Highness? I... don't seem to know each other."

Although the relatives of the royal family also knew about it, among the princes directly related, Meng Zhaoyang only knew Xi Gongjue. It was because Ye An was rescued at the inn and sent to Yangzhou last time, so it was the first time that the couple met.

Ye Anran and Meng Zhaoyang were at a loss for Xi Gongmo's sudden visit.

Seeing this, the housekeeper stammered and asked, "Master, then... shall we send him away?"

"No, let him come in. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. Since he is here, he must have something to do." Meng Zhaoyang did not refuse.

Ye Anran bit her lip and refused to speak, because she started to panic, and this uneasy feeling became more and more intense. According to her understanding of Xi Gongmo, Xi Gongmo came to Gusu from thousands of miles, there must be some urgent matter, the most reasonable right now The only thing is to find her.

"An Ran, you know Xi Gongmo, don't you?" Meng Zhaoyang also guessed.

"En." Ye Anran nodded.

"Then look...do you want to go out with me directly to meet him?" Meng Zhaoyang asked hesitantly.

"Yes, His Highness Mo is very hypocritical with me. Since he came here, he must be looking for me." Ye Anran was 100% sure that Xi Gongmo was looking for him.

"Alright, let's go." After finishing speaking, Meng Zhaoyang took Ye Anran up and went to the front hall.

Sure enough, there stood a handsome and elegant man in white, who was really the deity of Nishinomiya Momo.

"Cao Min pays respects to His Royal Highness Huai Wang." Meng Zhaoyang bowed gently.

"Mr. Meng, please get up quickly." Then Xi Gongmo looked at An Ran with a look that seemed to have a thousand words to say.

"Anran...?" Xi Gongmo hesitated to speak.

"Your Highness Mo, you... came to look for me, right? Is something wrong with Bianjing? Is something wrong with the prince?" Ye Anran asked uneasily.

"I do have something to look for you, and it's urgent, can we take a moment to talk." Xi Gongmo looked solemn.

"No, let's talk about it here, Brother Meng is not an outsider." Ye Anran turned sideways after speaking: "Brother Meng, can you block the left and right?"

"Okay." Meng Zhaoyang seemed to be warmly moved by Ye Anran's words that Brother Meng is not an outsider. Ye Anran was really generous, and he hadn't heard anything yet, so he showed that he didn't need to avoid Meng Zhaoyang.

"Go out if you have nothing to do, and look outside." Meng Zhaoyang ordered.

The servants left one after another, and there were only three people left in the room, Ye Anran and Meng Zhaoyang.

Xi Gongmo looked at Meng Zhaoyang, then nodded: "Alright, then I'll tell you, I'm here this time to meet someone on your behalf, and secondly, I want to tell you about your sister's death."

"Sister's death?" Ye Anran's face suddenly changed, and everything about her sister could instantly affect her heart.

"Isn't Lady Zhaoyi dead?" Meng Zhaoyang was also taken aback.

Xi Gongmo's face was a bit embarrassed: "No, Lady Zhaoyi is dead, but... she didn't commit suicide by taking poison, she was killed by someone."

"What? He was killed by someone, who is it?" Ye Anran's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

She is not without doubts about her sister's death, but since the news released by the palace is that she committed suicide, and she still drank the same drink as Fang Xiucai, so Ye Anran really thought that her sister couldn't think about it because of a scholar, but in fact it was It doesn't make sense, because on the eve of Ye Anyao's death, he sent a letter to her through Xi Gongmo, and told her that she was fine, so she could rest assured.

Ye Anran has always been too sad, so she has no time to think about the cause and effect of it. If someone mentions it again, she will immediately think about the matter carefully, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that there is a clue.

"His Royal Highness Huai Wang, this matter is not trivial, please forgive me for not taking your word for it, do you have any evidence?" Meng Zhaoyang asked calmly, discussing the facts.

"I have witnesses, An Ran, you must calm down." After speaking, Xi Gongjue opened the door and walked out, and a woman got out of the carriage outside the door.

This woman, whom Xi Gongmo had protected for a long time, was secretly transported here from Bianjing, and she was really worried along the way.

Seeing this girl for the first time, Ye Anran was a little bit broken. This woman was none other than Caier, the maid of Fuyao Palace before her sister was alive. When she was in the cold palace, she was always taking care of her, but after her sister's accident, Cai'er disappeared. At that time, Ye Anran thought that Cai'er had left the palace and returned to her hometown.

"Cai'er, is it really you?" Ye Anran walked over and grabbed Cai'er's hand.

Cai'er's eyes were blurred with tears, and she knelt down with a puff: "Princess Wangfei, you must avenge our Lady Zhaoyi. This servant saw with my own eyes...they killed Lady Zhaoyi. On that day, my servant was asleep, but later Hearing a quarrel in the middle of the night, he woke up to look at his master, but he didn't know that through the window, he saw two figures inside. The slave and maid saw their crimes with their own eyes. Later, the slave and maid accidentally revealed their whereabouts and were chased by them. Kill, originally wanted to kill the servant to silence, but because the servant accidentally fell into the well in the cold palace, they thought the servant was dead, so they didn't pursue it. After they left, an eunuch on duty heard the call for help and rescued the servant. Afterwards, the servant did not dare to stay in the palace and wanted to inform you, but you were under surveillance by them again. Listen to what our master said before he was alive. You had a good relationship with His Highness King Huai, so you rushed to find King Huai and escaped. Thanks to the protection of His Highness King Huai during this period, otherwise, my maidservant would have died in Huangquan long ago. The father-in-law who rescued me from the well, It has been brutally murdered."

Cai'er cried and said, she seemed to be very excited, this kind of emotion can't be faked, even if she can act, she can't reach this state, Ye Anran was really angry.

"It's been so long, why did you tell me now?" Ye Anran asked in pain.

"An Ran, you don't know something. This matter is not as simple as you think. That day Cai'er found the prince and said this. The prince saw that this time is no small matter. It is also to protect Cai'er's safety. Let her hide it all the time. , Fortunately, we were not discovered by them, and we were followed along the way, fortunately, we finally saw you safely, and now is the time to reveal the truth." Xi Gongmo said word by word.

"Then how did my sister get killed? Was it poisoned?" After hearing Cai Er's narration, Ye Anran seemed restless, because she wanted to know what method they used to kill her sister with their own hands. , Why both the emperor and the queen mother insisted that it was the elder sister who committed suicide by taking poison.

"They...they forced our master to take poison. The servant saw the master lying on the ground dying after taking the poison. The servant had no way to stop it. They were too powerful. The servant was dead when he went in, and he didn't know The truth, later the slaves heard that the small white porcelain bottle that the master drank from was called... Hedinghong." Cai'er was crying as she spoke.

The scene of that day is vivid in my memory, and Cai'er was also frightened too much...

"But my sister is not such an easy person to deal with. How could she compromise when she was forced?" Ye Anran didn't let go of any loopholes.

"Because that person threatened the master that if he didn't commit suicide, then... the princess's life would be bad. They are threatening our master with the safety of the princess and master." Cai'er recalled that day and said slowly.

"Can it threaten my safety? Who on earth has such a great ability, Cai'er, tell me, who are they... who are you talking about?" Finally, Ye Anran couldn't help asking.

"Are they...are...?" Cai'er was a little timid, as if she didn't dare to answer.

"Cai'er, tell me, it's okay, tell me everything you know." Xi Gongmo said gently.
