Looking at the outside of the imperial concubine's bedroom from a distance in the dark, Murong Xuanji secretly sighed in her heart, she was really the emperor's favorite woman, and even the outside of the palace looked different from other palaces, not luxurious at all, but low-key and warm. Murong Xuanji glanced at the guards guarding the door, and saw that the servants who had been waiting by the emperor's side were also waiting at the door, and it seemed that the emperor had locked himself in the house alone as rumored by the outside world.

Murong Xuanji looked at the wall next to her, fortunately there was no one around to guard it, so she quietly came to the wall next to her and jumped up, because she was pregnant, Murong Xuanji didn't dare to exert too much force, but fortunately, the wall was not high, she easily turned over, and quietly approached the lit house, through the closed door, Murong Xuanji saw the emperor lying on the chair looking at the portrait of the imperial concubine, although the distance was a little far away, but seeing the portrait of the imperial concubine, Murong Xuanji was still shocked by the beauty of the person in the portrait.

"Who, who's out there?" The emperor suddenly shouted loudly outside, Murong Xuanji saw that he had been discovered, so he no longer hid, and walked in generously, seeing the sudden appearance in front of him, the emperor was a little surprised, and blurted out and asked: "You shouldn't be in the imperial mausoleum, how can you be in the palace." “

"I didn't go to the Imperial Tomb." Murong Xuanji explained honestly, "I did set off with my husband to go to the imperial mausoleum, but just after leaving the capital, I suddenly felt unwell, so I stayed, and my husband went to the imperial mausoleum alone in order to keep his promise to his father. ”

"The Nine Emperors went to the Imperial Tomb alone?" The emperor changed from surprise to surprise, but quickly calmed down and asked, "Since you didn't go to the imperial mausoleum, why don't you go back to the mansion to stay, what is the matter with you coming to me today?" You appeared in front of me like this, and you were not afraid that I would punish you for a crime of deception? ”

"Bully?" Murong Xuanji smiled calmly, pretending not to know, and asked, "Dare to ask my father, why did I deceive the king?" ”

"The person who should be in the imperial tomb is actually in front of me now, isn't it a bully?" The emperor asked Murong Xuanji expressionlessly, and there was no angry look on his face.

"My father ordered the Nine Emperors to go to the Imperial Mausoleum, and he did go, but my father never asked me to go to the Imperial Mausoleum, so I can't talk about bullying the monarch whether I am in the Imperial Mausoleum or not, since there is no deception, how can I punish the crime?" Murong Xuanji refuted the emperor's words eloquently, saw a faint smile on the emperor's face, and continued: "Father, do you think what I said is right? ”

"If you think you're right, why haven't you been on the road before? Isn't it because you know that your presence will cause a lot of discussion among others? Although the emperor locked himself in the room all day, he did not lose the ability to think, and quickly seized Murong Xuanji's loophole and retorted.

Murong Xuanji just lightly explained calmly, "Although the Nine Emperor Princes are not in the capital, in order to avoid trouble and let people with hearts chew the root of their tongues, I think it's a good thing to keep a low profile for the time being." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and then asked, "You didn't come to me so late to talk to me, right, what is the matter with me?" The emperor looked at Murong Xuanji's thoughtful expression and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is it for the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

Murong Xuanji nodded without concealment and admitted, "Yes, the daughter-in-law hopes that the father and the emperor can issue an order for the Nine Emperor Princes to come back early." ”

"Why?" The emperor asked without curiosity: "This time, I asked the Nine Emperor Princes to go to the imperial tomb because his mother's death has arrived, so let him go there to pay respects to his mother." Did he tell you he wanted to come back? ”

"The Nine Emperors didn't say anything, I hope he can come back as soon as possible." Murong Xuanji turned around, looked at the furnishings in the room, and said calmly: "This is my first time here, but it's not the first time I've heard others mention here." I guess this feeling is the same for the Nine Emperors. Ever since he was sent to the Western Qi Kingdom as a proton when he was a child, he hasn't come in here, not even when he returned to the Beiming Kingdom, and no one can come in here except with his father's permission, right? ”

"You're right, there are a lot of good memories of me and Concubine Huang Li, and I don't want others to affect the good memories here." The emperor said with deep feelings, "Are you saying these words to me to get me to agree to the Nine Emperors coming here?" This is where his mother lived before her death, and there are memories of him and his mother, as long as he wants to come, he can come here at any time to miss his mother. ”

Because of the emperor's words, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Murong Xuanji's mouth, as if he had been waiting for the emperor's words, "Father, since you said so, why do you want to let him go to the imperial tomb to miss Huang Lifei, why don't you let him stay in the palace?" ”

"You should know why!" The emperor looked directly at Murong Xuanji and said, "Don't you and the Nine Emperor Princes know why I let you go to the imperial tomb?" Don't you have any ideas? ”

"We know, but does that change anything? I don't understand why my father is so protective of the imperial concubine? Is it just because the person she hit is just a minion? It is said that it depends on the owner to beat the dog, isn't the purpose of the imperial concubine's doing this unclear in his father's heart? Murong Xuanji thought of Baoqing being beaten, and said with some anger in his heart.

"I know you've been wronged, but is it because of a slave what do you want me to do with the imperial concubine? I've kept her in prison for so long, don't you have a glimmer of comfort in your hearts? The emperor asked Murong Xuanji sternly, "You are emotional, but I can't be as emotional as you, you know that the imperial concubine means not only her, but also involves some forces in the court, as the emperor, I have to think much more than you." ”

"So Father wants us to give up? Do you have to suffer such a dumb loss if you are hurt again and again? Murong Xuanji asked the emperor aggressively, "I can't make a decision on this matter, I will respect the decision of the Nine Emperor Princes." It's up to my father to let him come back. ”

"I won't hurt you. I will give you a satisfactory explanation, but you must also do it in moderation. The emperor said something in his words, and Murong Xuanji also understood what the emperor meant.

Murong Xuanji did not immediately answer the emperor's words, but fell into deep thought, silently sat aside and thought about the things the emperor requested, the more he thought about it, the more he felt as if he had walked into a trap that had been set.

"Okay, as long as you promise to let the Nine Emperor Princes return to Beijing, I can assure you that we will not pursue the matter of the imperial concubine." After a long time, Murong Xuan Xuanji finally spoke, "But I want my father to promise that the punishment of the imperial concubine will not be neglected because of this." ”

The emperor looked at Murong Xuanji, and his eyes once again showed a look of approval and helplessness, "Over the years, there have been very few people who can negotiate terms with me, let alone women, you can impress me every time, sometimes I worry about whether it is right or wrong for the Nine Emperor Prince to marry a woman like you, I hope he can marry a woman as kind and gentle as his mother." ”

"Huang Lifei is kind and gentle, but she died early, although the Nine Emperors are not the Son of Heaven, but his side is not less dangerous than his father, so what he needs is not a kind and gentle daughter, but a woman who can protect himself and accompany him for the rest of his life." Murong Xuanji looked at the emperor with a serious face, and saw that his face changed slightly because of his words, but Murong Xuanji didn't care, and continued: "The Nine Emperor Sons are not their fathers, and I am not the Imperial Concubine, how can outsiders see the feelings between me and the Nine Emperor Princes clearly." ”

"Yes, I really don't understand the feelings between you." The emperor rarely and generously admitted, "I agreed to your request, and I will let the Nine Emperor Princes return to Beijing as soon as possible, and I also promise that the matter of the imperial concubine will not be lazy in handling." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Murong Xuanji no longer asked for more information about current affairs, thinking of the purpose of entering the palace this time, Murong Xuanji spoke again: "Since the matter of the imperial concubine has been concluded, then the father does not have to lock himself up in the imperial concubine's bedroom all day long, the emperor misses the imperial concubine Xuanji can understand, but he feels that it is inappropriate, after all, as the father said, you are the son of heaven in the Beiming Kingdom, what you care about is your country, your people and courtiers, I think my father should also know the situation outside very well now." ”

The emperor suddenly laughed, looked at Murong Xuanji with appreciation, and said: "Outsiders think that I stay here all day long because of Concubine Huang Li and don't want to go out, so I don't ask about political affairs, only you can explain the reason why I stay here." ”

"Before Xuanji came here, it was the same as everyone thought it was, but after seeing his father, he felt that his father was also deeply hidden. Xuanji's trick was also ugly in front of his father. Murong Xuanji said with some compliments, and once again amused the emperor.

"Go back, I will treat you as if I haven't seen you tonight, and I don't know that you are in the capital, and I will send someone to report urgently to inform the Nine Emperor Princes to return to Beijing." The emperor sighed slightly and said, "After the Nine Emperors come back, you will enter the palace together and come here to pay tribute to your mother." ”

"Yes, Xuanji retires!" Murong Xuanji bowed slightly and walked out of the room, and before leaving, she couldn't help but glance into the house, and found that just like when she came, the emperor was already lying on the chair and looking at the portrait of the imperial concubine intently.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, Murong Xuanji just pushed open the door and saw that there was already someone sitting inside, although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but Murong Xuanji felt that the person was very familiar, and just wanted to ask, he saw the person get up and light the candlelight in the room.

"Xuanji!" Xuanyuan Hao stood up and looked at Murong Xuanji, seeing the shocked look on her face, he smiled and stretched out his hand and asked, "Why, you forgot me after only a few days?" Don't you want me, if you don't want me, then I'll go back. ”
