Chapter 527: Provocation
"Now there are already rumors in the capital that the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses have been killed." Xuanyuan Mo observed the emperor's expression and said cautiously: "Although the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses have not been found for a long time, as long as their bodies are not found for a day, Erchen believes that they are still alive, but Erchen is worried that Erchen is worried that some people with intentions will take advantage of this incident to plot against them." Xuanyuan Mo deliberately looked at Xuanyuan Che, but Xuanyuan Che sat there with a calm face, as if what Xuanyuan Mo said had nothing to do with him.
The emperor also saw Xuanyuan Mo's eyes looking at Xuanyuan Che, and suddenly remembered a conversation with the general not long ago, worried that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to be unfavorable to Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji. Although the emperor also guessed this possibility, there were still some people who couldn't accept that the person who wanted to kill Xuanyuan Hao would be Xuanyuan Che.
"Father, there is no reason. I think there will be rumors coming out, and it's also because we haven't found the Nine Emperor Princes and Nine Emperor Princesses now, so it's a bit of a shame to track down this now. Xuanyuan Che, who had been silent, suddenly said calmly: "Erchen feels that now is not the time to try to cover up this matter, but to find a way to find the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses, as long as they appear in front of everyone, then those rumors will naturally be broken." ”
Seeing Xuanyuan Che so calmly saying that he wanted to find Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, Xuanyuan Mo was even more sure that Xuanyuan Che had already attacked them, maybe they had really been killed.
"How is this a cover-up? If we don't trace the source of the rumors and ignore them, we will only let the rumors spread more and more, and then they will definitely be uncontrollable. Even if the Nine Emperor Princes and Nine Emperor Princesses were found by then, it would be too late. Xuanyuan Mo opened his mouth to refute Xuanyuan Che's words, seeing the emperor's expressionless appearance, he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, but Xuanyuan Mo felt that with the emperor's concern for Xuanyuan Hao, as long as the matter was related to Xuanyuan Hao, the emperor would definitely not care.
"Listening to the meaning of the Third Emperor Brother, it seems that it has been decided that it will take a long time to find the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Concubines, otherwise how can it be out of control to the point that it cannot be controlled?" Xuanyuan Che seized a loophole in Xuanyuan Mo's words and immediately fought back.
Xuanyuan Mo was annoyed for a moment in his heart, he didn't expect that he was so cautious, but he was still caught by Xuanyuan Che, glanced at the emperor uneasily, and immediately explained: "Father, the son of the emperor definitely does not mean this, but the current situation does not seem to be very optimistic, but the father and the emperor, please rest assured, the people sent by the son are still looking for the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses with all their might, and they will definitely find them soon." ”
"Enough, no more!" Seeing that Xuanyuan Che wanted to speak again, the emperor suddenly yelled in displeasure to stop the two from continuing to quarrel, glared at the two fiercely, and said angrily while rubbing his swollen forehead, "You are arguing, I have a headache, all give me a retreat, I want to stay alone for a while." ”
Xuanyuan Che and Xuanyuan Mo glanced at each other, and saw that the emperor was really angry, and he didn't dare to continue arguing, so he immediately invited an An Du to retreat, but before he walked out of the door of the study, he heard the emperor whispering to his henchmen to investigate the rumors.
Xuanyuan Che and Xuanyuan Mo didn't make a sound all the way, and walked quietly to the palace gate, Xuanyuan Che was about to get into the carriage and leave, but Xuanyuan Mo suddenly asked behind him: "Isn't the eldest prince curious about who dares to spread the news of the death of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses?" ”
Xuanyuan Che stopped and turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo, and said with a smile: "My curiosity has never been serious, it doesn't matter who is the rumor, what matters is how many people believe it, but looking at the appearance of the third emperor brother, it seems that he doesn't believe this rumor very much." ”
"As long as it is not confirmed for a day, I will not believe it for a day. I'm a person who likes to see is believing. Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Che were playing Tai Chi, and their faces also had expressions that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"I hope that the truth will not disappoint the third emperor brother by then." After leaving an unpredictable word, Xuanyuan Che got into the carriage and left the palace.
The news about the death of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji has been known to everyone in just three days, not only the common people believe that they are dead, but even many court ministers have heard about it, and some people believe it.
Above the main hall, the emperor heard a courtier talk about this matter, and was shocked to find that this matter had reached the point of uncontrollable as Xuanyuan Mo said, and couldn't help but be furious, "Who said that the Nine Emperor Princes are dead, and their bodies have not been found, who dares to say that they are dead." The emperor got up from the dragon chair excitedly and looked at the prince and ministers who were kneeling on the ground.
"The emperor is angry!" Everyone in the hall said in unison, and they all bowed their heads in fear. Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji have been missing for so long, and the people sent out have been looking for them for so long and haven't found them, and it's hard to convince everyone that they're still alive. But he didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor, for fear of touching the emperor's anger.
"I don't believe that the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Concubines are dead, Murong He obeyed the order, and sent more people to find them, even if they die, I will see their corpses." The emperor said loudly.
"Obey the order!" Murong He, who heard the news of the deaths of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, suddenly felt sad in his heart, but in the main hall, he tried his best to hold back the sadness in his heart and accept the emperor's will.
As soon as Murong He returned to the general's mansion, he immediately collapsed, which frightened everyone, and everyone was in a hurry for a while, until they saw Murong He slowly wake up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Daddy!" The third son of the Murong family stood by the bed worriedly and looked at Murong He, Murong Xilang and Murong Xijun glanced at each other, they didn't expect that the death of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji would make Murong He, who had always been tough, fall, and the two of them felt extremely guilty in their hearts, and they were worried about him while hesitating whether to tell him the truth.
"Master, we have all heard about the Nine Emperors and Xuanji, we all know that you are sad, but you also have to take care of your health." Zhou Xiaolan choked up and said, seeing that Murong He was sick because of this incident, she was worried and sad.
"Yes, sir, what if you fall and leave us behind?" Li Miaoxin said sadly while wiping her tears.
"Dad, we are still not sure whether the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji are alive or dead, if we conclude that they are dead based on some rumors alone, is this decision too hasty?" Murong Xijie said with a heavy face, he hadn't found them for a long time, he had already prepared for the worst in his heart, but seeing that his father and mother were sad because of this matter, he could only cheer up and comfort his family.
"Dad, what the second brother said is right, we can't jump to such conclusions, the Nine Emperors and Xuanji must still be alive." Murong Xijun endured it very sadly, he was not a person who could hide his words, but for Xuanyuan Hao's advice, he still tried to endure it and not say it.
Murong He was just silent in grief, everyone was comforting each other, only Murong Xilang had been silent, and his abnormality was also seen by Murong He.
"Xilang, are you hiding something from me!" Murong He suddenly asked Murong Xilang sternly, and everyone in the room looked at Murong Xilang.
Murong Xilang looked at Murong He with a calm expression, and he didn't speak.
Murong Xijun looked at the faint uneasiness flowing between Murong He and Murong Xilang, and suddenly knelt down in front of Murong He's bed to plead guilty, "Dad, it's my son who is unfilial and deceived Dad." ”
Murong Xilang shouted unhappily Murong Xijun, shook his head slightly, and signaled him not to tell the matter.
"Big brother, if we don't say it, our father and mother will be very sad, it's better for us to say it, I believe the Nine Emperor Princes won't blame us." Murong Xijun looked at Murong Xilang heavily.
"Hee-jun, what are you and Hee-lang hiding from us? Something to do with the Nine Emperors? Li Miaoxin heard Murong Xijun mention the Nine Emperor Princes, and vaguely guessed that what he was hiding must be very important, and couldn't help but look at him seriously.
"Dad, mother, second mother, in fact, the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji are still alive, and they now know that there is a Nine Emperor Prince's courtyard on the outskirts of the capital." Murong Xijun looked at Murong He's direct gaze, and mustered up the courage to tell Xuanyuan Hao and their residence.
Because of Murong Xijun's words, the room suddenly became an unusual silence, and no one spoke, except for Murong Xilang and Murong Xijun, everyone seemed to have not recovered from this matter.
"Help me up." After a long time, Murong He got up from the bed, walked to the table and sat down, and saw Murong Xijun, who was still kneeling on the ground, said solemnly: "You get up first and tell me the whole story." ”
Murong Xijun got up and stood aside with his head bowed, thinking in his heart that he should start from the beginning to the end.
"Hee-jun, just hurry up and tell what's going on, don't let us all worry about it." Zhou Xiaolan couldn't wait to urge Murong Xijun.
"Here's the thing." After a while, Murong Xijun raised his head and looked at Murong He and said what happened, "I met Leng Fengran Leng Gongzi on the way to find someone, and from his mouth I knew that the eldest princess, who is also the daughter of Prime Minister Qi Fangfei, wanted to kill Xuanji, but fortunately was rescued by Leng Gongzi, and then I went to find Xuanji with Leng Gongzi, that is, Xuanji had already met with the Nine Emperor Princes, because both of them were injured, so they were both sick, I originally planned to bring them back, but I met a group of people in black who wanted to kill them, After taking down those men in black, I realized that they were sent by the Great Prince to assassinate the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji. ”
"Oh my God, are you saying that the Great Prince is going to kill the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji?" Li Miaoxin and Zhou Xiaolan were both startled, but Murong He always looked at Murong Xijun with a serious face.
Murong Xijun nodded and continued: "Later, the Nine Emperor Princes proposed to have someone pretend to be a man in black to go back and tell the Nine Emperor Princes that they were dead, and then the Nine Emperor Princes took everyone to his other courtyard. ”
"Why did the Nine Emperor Princes hide the news that they were still alive? If he and Xuanji came back and said that the eldest prince sent someone to kill them, the emperor would definitely not care. Zhou Xiaolan asked a little puzzled.
"The Nine Emperor Princes are right to do this." Murong He suddenly said: "Even if the emperor believes the words of the Nine Emperors and knows that it is the eldest prince who wants to kill the Nine Emperors, but don't forget, the biological mother of the eldest prince is the current queen, the queen died a second prince and exiled a fourth prince, how can the queen watch her other son have an accident." Besides, the eldest prince and the nine princes have always been at odds, this is already a well-known thing, and when the eldest prince retorts that the nine princes intend to frame him, it will be unclear when the time comes. ”
"But it's not a way for the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji to keep hiding like this, didn't you hear Hee Jun say that the Nine Emperor Princes and Hee Jun were both injured? After all, the other courtyard is not as good as the mansion in the capital, and I don't know what happened to them now. Knowing that Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji were still alive, Li Miaoxin was relieved, but when she heard that they were injured, she couldn't help but worry.
"Mother, don't worry, they have all recovered when I leave the other hospital, so you don't have to worry about them." Murong Xijun opened his mouth to comfort Li Miaoxin.
"Did the Nine Emperor Princes say when they plan to return to Beijing?" Murong He asked again, but in his heart he was thinking about the reason why Xuanyuan Hao did this.
"The Nine Emperor Princes said that they will come back when the time comes." Murong Xijun relayed everything Xuanyuan Hao said to Murong He.
"What kind of timing is the Nine Emperor Prince's mouth?" Murong Xijie asked puzzled.
"If everyone thinks that the Nine Emperors are dead, then who among the many princes will be ambitious for the throne?" Murong He asked calmly.
