Chapter 674: Determining the Truth
"Baoyue, what's wrong with you? If there is anything, I am dizzy when I walk around in front of me. Murong Xuanji originally wanted to read a book quietly for a while, but she was always dyed by Baoyue, so she had to put down the book and ask.
"Miss, that Qin'er girl seems to be sick." Baoyue said cautiously, quietly looking at Murong Xuanji's expression, and seeing that she didn't react, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively: "Miss, she is sick, will the wedding matter be put on hold temporarily?" ”
"The matter of the Nine Emperors' concubines has already been said, and the people who should be notified have also been notified, if it is suddenly shelved, isn't it a loss of face for the Nine Emperors? Isn't there a few days left for the divorce ceremony, so hurry up and find a doctor to whisper to her, so that she can take care of her body as soon as possible. Murong Xuanji explained to Baoyue as a housewife, and didn't see her a little unhappy.
Baoqing on the side saw that Baoyue didn't answer, quietly touched her, and gave her a look, asking her to respond quickly. Baoyue reluctantly answered, and then reluctantly went out to find a doctor.
"Baoqing, where is the Eighth Prince now?" After Baoyue left, only Murong Xuanji and Baoqing were left in the room, Murong Xuanji looked at Baoqing with a serious expression and asked.
"The Eighth Prince just returned to Beijing last night, and he is currently living in a private house not far from the Great General's Mansion." Baoqing opened his mouth and said, "The Eighth Prince asked the young lady not to act rashly, and let him arrange everything." ”
Murong Xuanji nodded, and continued to ask: "Then is there any news from my eldest brother's side, I asked him to investigate the fourth prince before, is there anything suspicious?" ”
"Grand Prince Murong only said that everything was as Miss expected." Baoqing relayed Murong Xilang's words to Murong Xuanji word for word, and seeing that her expression became more solemn, he asked with some concern: "Miss, is there something wrong?" ”
"The person who hunted down the Nine Emperor Princes is the Four Princes." Murong Xuanji said heavily, and suddenly stood up after being silent for a while, "Big brother should be on duty in the palace today, I want to enter the palace, you accompany me into the palace." ”
"But, miss, the master has an order to let you recuperate in the mansion, and you are not allowed to leave the mansion at will." After Baoqing finished speaking, he saw Murong Xuanji's expression and looked at her with some uneasiness.
Just when Baoqing thought that Murong Xuanji would be angry, she said coldly: "No one can stop me wherever I want to go, and the Nine Emperor Princes are no exception." After speaking, regardless of Baoqing's expression, he walked straight out of the house.
As Murong Xuanji said, no one in this mansion can stop her, although Xuanyuan Hao has an order not to let her go out, but as long as Murong Xuanji does it, not to mention that the guards in the mansion are not her opponents, now that she is pregnant, the guards are also worried that they will accidentally hurt Murong Xuanji, so in the end they can only watch Murong Xuanji leave the mansion.
"You go and send these things to the palace of the imperial concubine, I will go to the eldest brother, and then I will go to the palace of the imperial concubine to say goodbye." After Murong Xuanji finished explaining to Baoqing, he hurriedly went to find Murong Xilang.
Murong Xilang was startled when he saw Murong Xuanji suddenly appear in front of him, and said with some reproach: "You are too nonsense, this is the palace, why don't you wait for me to go back?" ”
"I'm just here to ask you a few words, and I won't delay you for a long time." Murong Xuanji glanced around, making sure that there was no one around, and asked, "What is the relationship between the four princes and the grandmother beside the queen, and why does the grandmother help the four princes." ”
Seeing Murong Xuanji's persistent appearance, Murong Xilang sighed helplessly and said, "Although the fourth prince did not marry a wife, there are also several women in the mansion, and one of the most favored women is the daughter of Mama. ”
"How so? How can Mama have a daughter? Murong Xuanji asked incredulously, "Could it be, could it be that she-"
Although Murong Xuanji didn't finish speaking, Murong Xilang had already guessed what she was going to say, nodded and said: "That's right, more than ten years ago, Mama secretly interacted with a guard in the palace, and later became pregnant and gave birth to this daughter, and then she was raised by her brother outside the palace, and then this child grew up and somehow became the woman of the fourth prince. ”
It is no secret that palace maids and guards secretly communicate in the palace, but Murong Xuanji didn't expect that Mama and the Four Princes had such a relationship before, and she also understood the reason why Mama would help the Four Princes.
"I know, big brother, I'll go first, I still have to go to the Imperial Concubine." The doubts in her heart had all been excused, and Murong Xuanji didn't stay any longer, and hurried to the palace of the imperial concubine.
Seeing Baoqing who appeared in front of him, since the accident that day, this is the first time that Concubine Huangxian has seen Baoqing, seeing her covered with a veil, she has already guessed a little willing, the resentment and anger against her in her heart have long disappeared without a trace, but she has some feelings that if she can handle the matter between her and Xuanyuan Jue gently, then Xuanyuan Jue will not leave herself today, and Baoqing will not be disfigured.
"What about the Nine Emperor Princesses? Why are you the only one here? Seeing Baoqing, who was standing on the side, the emperor took the initiative to break the uneasy atmosphere and asked.
"Back to the Imperial Concubine, Miss suddenly has something, and she will come in a minute, please wait patiently." Baoqing replied respectfully.
Concubine Huangxian looked at Baoqing, she didn't think her voice was good before, but after listening carefully today, she felt that Baoqing's voice was particularly crisp, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she nodded with a smile and said, "Aren't those injuries on your face and body healed?" ”
Hearing that Concubine Huangxian suddenly asked about her body, Baoqing's body was shocked, and she didn't understand what she meant by asking, so she replied quietly and cautiously, "The injuries on the slave maid's body have all healed, but there is only a scar left, and the slave and maid are worried that they will scare people, so they cover it with a veil." ”
Concubine Huangxian looked at Baoqing with pity, and the guilt in her heart arose, if she hadn't called Baoqing into the palace at the beginning, or if she hadn't said those hurtful words, maybe she wouldn't have to wear a veil to see people today.
"Do you hate Hongu?" Concubine Huangxian suddenly asked, "If it weren't for this palace, you wouldn't be injured and disfigured." ”
"Slaves don't dare." Baoqing knelt down in fear and denied, "The slave has never hated the imperial concubine, all of this is because the slave and the maid are careless, and they don't blame anyone." ”
Although Baoqing said this, it did not let the imperial concubine be relieved, and the guilt in her heart still lingered, and she raised her hand to let Baoqing get up, and then the two of them did not continue to talk anything, until Murong Xuanji arrived.
Murong Xuanji walked into the room, looked at the quiet two, and thought that Concubine Huangxian had reprimanded Baoqing again, and just wanted to stand up for Baoqing, but saw that Baoqing's eyes were very calm, and Concubine Huangxian didn't look like she was very angry, so she stopped and smiled in time to ask Concubine Huangxian for peace.
"Come and sit." When the Imperial Concubine saw Murong Xuanji, a smile appeared on her face, patted the chair next to her and asked her to sit beside her and said, "I met the queen in the imperial garden a few days ago, and the queen said that you are pregnant, right?" ”
Murong Xuanji smiled and nodded, "Yes!" His hands couldn't help but caress his stomach again, and his face was full of happiness.
Seeing Murong Xuanji so happy, Concubine Huangxian seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether to interrupt her happy appearance at this time, took her hand and put it on her desk and said with a smile: "How is the child, is it behaving in the belly, does it make you uncomfortable?" ”
"No, this child is very well-behaved, I don't feel uncomfortable at all, and I don't have any symptoms of morning sickness and can't eat." Speaking of children, Murong Xuanji always had a smile on her face, raised her head to look at Concubine Huangxian, found that the worry and desire in her eyes stopped, put away her smile and asked, "Does Concubine Huangxian have something to say?" ”
Concubine Huangxian nodded and asked, "The Empress said that you want to take a concubine for the Nine Emperor Princes, is this true?" Seeing Murong Xuanji nodding silently, Concubine Huangxian looked at her with some incredulity, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" I don't believe you really want to do that. I see the relationship between you and the Nine Emperor Princes, and I don't believe that there will be a third person between you. ”
Murong Xuanji smiled bitterly, and said with some discouragement: "The Nine Emperor Princes have lost his memory, he has forgotten everything, and I can only respect his choice." ”
Murong Xuanji said very vaguely, but Concubine Huangxian also understood a little when she heard it, sighed, and said a little helplessly: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen to the Nine Emperor Princes, you must be very uncomfortable in your heart." ”
Murong Xuanji shook his head with a smile and glanced at Baoqing, who nodded and left the room first. Concubine Huangxian glanced at Murong Xuanji suspiciously, reacted in hindsight, waved her hand, and asked Mama to retreat with all the maids in the house.
"The Eighth Prince is now in the capital." Before Concubine Huangxian could ask, Murong Xuanji had already whispered to her, seeing that she was a little excited, Murong Xuanji immediately made a silent movement, and then whispered: "Not many people know about this matter. ”
Concubine Huangxian nodded, glanced around vigilantly, and then asked cautiously: "How is he now, why did he suddenly return to Beijing, did something happen?" ”
"Don't worry, he's fine for the time being." Murong Xuanji comforted Concubine Huangxian and said to her solemnly: "I entered the palace today in the hope that Concubine Huangxian can do us a favor?" ”
"What's the busy?" Concubine Huangxian's expression was stunned, and when she saw Murong Xuanji's expression, she knew that the matter must be very serious, so she nodded and said, "As long as I can help, you can just say it." ”
Murong Xuanji nodded gratefully, and said: "This time the Nine Emperor Princes were chased and killed by the man in black, I suspected that it was the queen who did it, but recently I found out that it was the grandmother and the four princes around the queen who were the most suspicious, I hope that the imperial concubine can pay more attention to this grandmother?" ”
Concubine Huangxian looked at Murong Xuanji with an incredulous expression, and blurted out, "The fourth prince? It's impossible, isn't it like the Fourth Prince is such a sinister person? Her surprised reaction was exactly the same as when Murong Xilang heard it.
Murong Xuanji said with some sarcasm: "It seems that this fourth prince is very hidden, and everyone has been deceived by his appearance, but he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart, what kind of person he is will soon have an answer." ”
Seeing the coldness in Murong Xuanji's eyes, Concubine Huangxian was shocked, and had to believe her words, nodded and agreed, "Just pay more attention to her, is it enough?" Do I need to do anything else? ”
