Murong Xijun immediately heard the meaning of Murong Xilang's words, nodded and said: "When I found the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji, I met a group of black-clothed people who wanted to kill them, and they were sent by the Great Prince, so the Nine Emperors planned to cheat their deaths to make everyone think that he and Xuanji had died, and then the Great Prince and others with ulterior motives would take it lightly." ”

Murong Xilang listened quietly, quickly analyzing the Nine Emperors' plans in his mind, and only after a long time did he speak: "I can understand that the Nine Emperors want to hide from everyone, but why can't even we say it, don't you believe us?" ”

"Of course not!" Worried that Murong Xilang would misunderstand Xuanyuan Hao's meaning, Murong Xijun blurted out a denial, and immediately explained: "The Nine Emperor Princes said that Dad is too upright and can't lie, and I'm worried that if we tell Dad and us, we won't behave so naturally, and it will not be good to show flaws at that time." ”

"If you're just worried that your dad will behave unnaturally and don't want to tell him, then why don't you even tell me?" Murong Xilang asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Even if we don't say it, don't you know it?" Murong Xijun whispered back, and immediately closed his mouth obediently after receiving the warning from Murong Xilang. However, Murong Xijun was very curious in his heart, how Murong Xilang knew that Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji were still alive, and how did he know that he would know that he knew that they were alive.

Murong Xilang seemed to see the doubts in Murong Xijun's heart, and before he could ask, he said kindly, "Do you think you are acting very well?" Dad lost his usual calm because he was worried about them, if it was before, your little bit of caution would have been seen by Dad a long time ago! ”

Hearing Murong Xilang say this, Murong Xijun was a little dissatisfied, and asked unhappily, "What's wrong with me?" I'm not the same as usual, how did you find my flaws? ”

Murong Xilang sneered, looked at Murong Xijun calmly and said, "It's because you are acting the same as usual that makes people suspicious." Seeing his puzzled look, he continued: "With your impulsive character, if you hadn't known that the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji were still alive and safe, you wouldn't have stayed in the mansion so quietly, and you would have taken the people to look for them a long time ago. Moreover, you disappeared for a period of time when you were looking for people before, and although you wrote a letter back, everyone thought you were looking for them, but when you came back, you were neat and tidy, and the people were refreshed, which means that you did not look for people in the mountains and wilderness during the days of your disappearance, but rested somewhere for a while. ”

"Admire!" Murong Xijun clapped his hands and said in admiration: "Just by my usual moves, you can conclude that the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji are still alive and safe, I really admire them." I thought I was doing well and being impeccable, but I didn't expect to be seen through by you. ”

Murong Xilang smiled faintly, and said with some seriousness: "If you want to do something impeccable, first of all, change your temper." ”

Murong Xijun originally wanted to refute, but when he saw Murong Xilang's seemingly smiling appearance, all the words were choked, and he moved his lips and still hadn't said it yet.

"Say whatever you want, don't stumble." Murong Xilang was a little unaccustomed to Murong Xijun's spitting appearance, and said with a frown.

"Big brother, should we tell my father and mother that the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji are still alive, I think they can't eat and sleep well because of this incident, I'm really worried that they can't survive such a blow." Murong Xijun said with some distress.

Murong Xilang thought for a moment before he calmly said: "Since the Nine Emperor Princes told you not to say it, you don't want to tell your father and mother for the time being, wait for your father to enter the palace and see the emperor before deciding whether to tell them or not." ”

Murong Xijun nodded, and also agreed with Murong Xilang's suggestion.

"The old minister greets the emperor." Murong He entered the emperor's study and immediately knelt down to say goodbye.

"The general doesn't need to be polite." The emperor said tiredly, "Come, come and sit, and talk to me." ”

"Yes!" Murong He glanced up at the emperor, then sat down on the chair next to him, and both of them were silent for a while before Murong He spoke: "I don't know what the emperor has to do today to find a minister to enter the palace." ”

"It's nothing, I just want someone to talk to." The emperor waved his hand and said in a depressed mood: "I heard that the general was unwell before, I don't know if he can get better now." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister is fine." Murong He thanked him respectfully, thought for a moment and said, "It's only because the minister is worried about the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses that he is worried about the illness for a while. ”

"I can understand the general's mood, I am also thinking about the Nine Emperor Princes day and night, didn't the Grand Princess say that she had seen him before, and he is still alive, but why can't I find anyone?" The emperor asked seemingly puzzled, but Murong He still heard something in his words.

"Lao Chen asked people to continue to look for them, whether they are alive or dead, they want to see people alive, and they want to see corpses when they die." Murong He also said meaningfully.

The emperor nodded, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "I hope people are still alive." ”

The emperor's words not only made his mood heavy, but also made Murong He, who was already in a low mood, feel even heavier, the two of them sat there tightly and did not make a sound, and only the breathing of the two could be heard in the huge study.

"Queen Mother, are you in a hurry to find your son?" Xuanyuan Che hurriedly entered the palace, and when he saw that the queen didn't have time to say goodbye, he asked eagerly, "I heard that my father invited the general into the palace today, what is the matter?" ”

"I don't know, I heard that the emperor retired all the people who served in the palace, leaving only the general alone in the study, and no one knows what they talked about." The queen also had a sad face, "Is there any news about the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses?" ”

"Nope." Xuanyuan Che's tone paused for a moment before he answered, "Erchen went to look for them before, but he never found them, and then his father wanted to return to Beijing, so Erchen had to come back first, but he still let people continue to look for them." ”

"Stand down, all of you." The queen's face changed suddenly, and immediately let everyone in the palace retreat, even the confidant and grandmother who usually trusted her let her out, and only she and Xuanyuan Che in the room asked with a serious face: "Are they still alive?" ”

Xuanyuan Che was a little stunned because of the queen's sudden question, although it was only fleeting, but the queen still saw something strange.

"You are the son of this palace, this palace will not harm you, is there anything you can't say to this palace?" The queen said, half coaxing, half threatening.

"Erchen didn't dare, but Erchen wanted to wait until everything was done before telling the queen mother, so as not to worry the queen mother." Xuanyuan Che immediately found a high-sounding reason.

"Tell me, what have you done?" The queen glanced at Xuanyuan Che expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Let's tell the palace." ”

"Erchen give the Nine Emperor Princes and Nine Emperor Concubines—" Xuanyuan Che made a killing motion.

"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" The queen looked at Xuanyuan Che and said these four words calmly, which made Xuanyuan Che a little unable to guess what the queen was thinking.

"My father is so partial to the Nine Emperor Sons, once I know that he is dead, then the candidate for the throne will be in my favor." Xuanyuan Che said cautiously while observing the queen's expression.

"Are you sure you're leaving no trace?" The queen asked worriedly: "The Nine Emperor Princes are so cunning, you must be more cautious in doing things, and what do you plan to let everyone know about the death of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses?" ”

"Erchen originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to tell his father after a while, but today my father summoned the general alone, which made my plan change a little, I want to take a walk to test everyone's reaction first." Xuanyuan Hao said with a gloomy face.

The queen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Solve a Nine Emperor Prince, and a Third Prince, what is the matter between the Three Princes and the princess of the Western Qi Kingdom?" How did he go out hunting and he brought back a princess? ”

"The ministers don't know much about this." Compared with the queen's curiosity, Xuanyuan Che was full of anger, and when he thought of the situation at that time, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but feel a burst of anger.

"The Nine Emperors married the daughter of a great general, and the Third Prince will soon marry a princess from another country, and you only married the daughter of a prime minister, although the power of the mother's family is a little worse, the most important thing is to be able to do it, I think there are very few places where Qi Yang can help you, I really don't know how you married his daughter in the first place." The queen said with some dissatisfaction. "These imperial concubines should be happy, his son married a satisfied imperial concubine."

The queen's dissatisfaction left Xuanyuan Che speechless, so he could only stand there obediently and listen to the queen's complaints.

"Since Xuanyuan Hao and that Murong Xuanji are dead, once the emperor and the general know, they will definitely investigate to the end, and you will definitely be very troublesome at that time, and you must find a way to make them divert their attention from you to other places." The queen reminded Xuanyuan Che meaningfully.

"What does the queen mother mean—" Xuanyuan Che asked a little puzzled, "The other place that the queen mother refers to refers to the third prince." ”

"As soon as Xuanyuan Hao dies, the biggest contender for the throne with you will be him." The queen said coldly: "The third prince is quite scheming, he must not be in a hurry if he wants the other party, he must be careful." ”

"I will." Xuanyuan Che nodded with hatred, what Xuanyuan Mo did to him, he will never forget it for the rest of his life, he has not avenged this revenge, maybe now is a good opportunity.
