"It was the third prince who brought me in." Murong Xuanji was just about to open her mouth to explain, when she suddenly remembered Lan Ling'er, and excitedly got up from the stool next to the bed and ran out.

"Xuanji, what's wrong?" Xuanyuan Hao didn't know what was going on, so he chased him out, just in time to see Murong Xuanji talking to someone else.

"Did your young lady really return to the house safely?" Murong Xuanji asked a maid beside Lan Ling'er with a serious face.

"Yes!" The maid nodded and said: "It was the subordinates in the house who found the unconscious young lady at the door of the backyard, and the young lady woke up and said that she didn't know what was going on, and she was worried that the Nine Emperor Princesses would be worried, so she specially asked the slave maid to come over and tell her." ”

"Then your young lady is okay now, right?" Murong Xuanji asked with concern.

"The master has already asked the doctor to show the young lady, it should be fine." The maid replied respectfully.

"Okay, I know, you go back and turn your young lady, let her rest in the house, and I will visit her in the house when I have time." After Murong Xuanji asked the maid to leave, he turned around and saw Xuanyuan Hao standing not far behind him, so he walked over: "It's windy outside, let's go inside." ”

When the two returned to the house, Xuanyuan Hao's expression was not very clear, and he asked a little seriously and a little angrily, "Is it Xuanyuan Mo?" ”

Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao, and after a long time, he nodded slightly, and told Xuanyuan Hao everything that happened outside today.

"Looks like he's been pushed to a hurry." Xuanyuan Hao said resentfully, frowning tightly, but he was thinking about how to deal with Xuanyuan Mo in his heart.

"The third prince will not hurt me for the time being, the purpose of his coming to me today is to use my father to force me to persuade my father and them, so that the eldest brother and them can support the side of the third prince." Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao thoughtfully and said.

"How could your father have easily renegined, if they were this kind of person, they wouldn't have fallen to such a point today." Xuanyuan Hao said with certainty, "But I'm worried that Xuanyuan Mo will become more anxious because of my appearance, and I don't know how he will deal with your father and them who refuse to go along with it." ”

"Is there really nothing to be done now? It doesn't matter if you don't have to reinstate your father's official position, you just need to get them out of prison. Murong Xuanji asked a little anxiously.

"Only the Queen can help us now." Xuanyuan Hao thought for a moment and said, "The power of the queen in the court cannot be underestimated, if you use the power of the courtiers to force the emperor to let go of the Murong Mansion family, it is the fastest way." ”

"How's the Queen? Does the queen want to join forces with you? Murong Xuanji asked Xuanyuan Hao.

"The queen is still hesitating, after all, the eldest prince is his only bargaining chip, if she loses this bargaining chip, even if the emperor lets her go this time and lets her regain the status of the queen, what she wants is eternal rights." Xuanyuan Hao said with some disdain.

Murong Xuanji bit her lip and thought about it very seriously, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and thought of an idea, "The queen lost the bargaining chip of the eldest prince, but she has you as a bargaining chip!" As long as you convince the queen that you can give him what he wants, then it doesn't matter if there is a big prince or not. ”

Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji with some surprise, he vaguely understood the meaning of Murong Xuanji's words, but he was a little hesitant, "The queen and I are fundamentally people from two worlds, I'm afraid that I can get along with her very peacefully." ”

"This is just a delaying tactic, I also understand the current situation to the Empress now, and what she wants now is just a reason to convince herself with peace of mind." Murong Xuanji calmly analyzed. "Soft and hard, I believe the queen won't last long, especially the imperial concubine is becoming more and more arrogant in the harem. The queen and the imperial concubine have always been at odds with each other, and the queen can't get used to seeing the imperial concubine, as long as she is stimulated. ”

"We went our separate ways. I remember that my father said that when the eldest prince poisoned him, it was Qi Fangfei who killed his relatives and saved him, I think at this time, the eldest prince hated Qi Fangfei to death in his heart, and Qi Fangfei must have her purpose in doing this. Xuanyuan Hao also keenly noticed something wrong, "Qi Fangfei's ambition is obvious, she married the eldest prince for power, and now she suddenly puts the eldest prince in prison, so who will she rely on after that?" ”

"You mean that Qi Fangfei is not alone, so will the person who is with her be her father Qi Cheng?" Murong Xuanji asked guessingly.

"Probably not." Xuanyuan Hao thought about it for a while and quickly vetoed this possibility, "His father is already in a high position, and the fall of the eldest prince will not help Qi Yang at all, but it seems that it is not good for Qi Yang." “

"It's not Qi Yang, is it the third prince?" The more Murong Xuanji thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high, she looked towards Xuanyuan Hao, and when she saw Xuanyuan Hao's expression, she had already guessed that he was thinking the same thing.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, although they no longer spoke, but the thoughts of the two were surprisingly similar, they didn't expect Xuanyuan Mo's ability to be so great, and the two people who seemed to be unrelated actually joined forces.

"Master, the emperor is here!" The code whisper suddenly hurriedly walked in and passed it on.

Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji glanced at each other in surprise, and Murong Xuanji immediately helped him out in a hurry, and as soon as he walked out of the courtyard outside the house, he saw the emperor walking in in civilian clothes.

"Son-in-law, daughter-in-law greets my father!" Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji opened their mouths in unison to greet the emperor.

"It's all excused." The emperor glanced at the injuries on Xuanyuan Hao's body and said with slight concern: "I heard that you met an assassin on your way back to the house today and was injured, so I came here to take a look." ”

Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao in surprise, she hadn't asked the reason for Xuanyuan Hao's injury from just now to now, and now when she heard the emperor say this, the worry in her heart came out again.

"Father Xie cares, and the injury of his son is not in the way." Xuanyuan Hao said respectfully, and shook Murong Xuanji's hand without a trace to comfort her.

Murong Xuanji, who was relieved, immediately said politely: "Father, please sit in the room, the imperial doctor said that the husband's injury cannot be cold, and I hope that my father will forgive me." ”

Hearing Murong Xuanji speak, the emperor glanced at her coldly, the emperor didn't hate Murong Xuanji as a person, but hated that she was a person from Murong Mansion and a person that Xuanyuan Hao cared about, so he naturally couldn't warm up with her.

The emperor was walking in front, Xuanyuan Hao glanced at Murong Xuanji apologetically, with a strong apology in his eyes, but Murong Xuanji smiled at him and told him with his eyes that he didn't need to care.

"Father, you and your husband will chat first, and I will prepare some tea and snacks for you." Murong Xuanji retreated with interest, leaving only Xuanyuan Hao and the emperor to talk behind closed doors.

"I've heard all about your injuries, but with your abilities, how can those people be your opponents?" There was a temptation in the emperor's seemingly concerned tone.

"My father thinks too highly of his sons, even if his sons know some martial arts, how can they be the opponents of those professional killers." Xuanyuan Haofeng lightly passed the problem.

"Do you know who sent those killers?" The emperor continued to ask calmly.

"At that time, Erchen was injured, and the entourage around him was busy caring for Erchen and let those killers run away, so now there is no clue." Xuanyuan Hao behaved calmly from beginning to end, as if he was an outsider.

"I will order someone to investigate this matter, you will take care of your injuries in the mansion, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, I will let others do it." The emperor stood up and prepared to leave.

"Erchen knows." Xuanyuan Hao also stood up and sent the emperor away.

"Is my father gone?" When Xuanyuan Hao returned to the house, Murong Xuanji Zhen looked at the empty room with refreshments and asked.

Xuanyuan Hao nodded, the expression on his face was not very good, and he looked a little gloomy and angry.

"What did my father tell you?" Murong Xuanji put the things aside, and when he saw Xuanyuan Hao's expression that was wrong, he asked with concern, "Didn't he come to see you on purpose?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao sneered and said, "Even if I am his most beloved son, I don't have this kind of honor. He came to ask me about the Assassins today, and I think he should know who sent the Assassins. ”

"How would my father know?" After Murong Xuanji blurted out the words, he suddenly had a ridiculous thought in his mind, and looked at Xuanyuan Hao with some incredulity, "Unless those assassins were sent by my father." ”

Xuanyuan Hao nodded slightly, "Originally, I have been wondering if those assassin killers were sent by Xuanyuan Mo, I think in this situation, he will not be stupid to do this, as long as I have an accident, everyone will suspect him, just now this visit from my father made me more sure that the killer was not sent by Xuanyuan Mo." ”

"Why did Father do this?" Murong Xuanji asked angrily, "Does he really want you to die?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao took Murong Xuanji's hand and asked her to sit down, and then said with a smile, "No, my father's purpose is not to want me to die, but to let everyone have the idea I just had, thinking that Xuanyuan Mo wants me to die." My father is helping me. ”

"It's a surprising way to help." Murong Xuanji said sneeringly.

Xuanyuan Hao just smiled faintly, but he had other plans in his heart. Although the emperor was for his good, it disrupted his plan.

"Xuanji, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out these days, I want you to help me do a few things." Xuanyuan Hao originally wanted to let the code words do it, but thinking of Murong Xuanji's complaints to himself before, Xuanyuan Hao still decided to let her do it, and Xuanyuan Hao also believed that she could do it very well.

"Okay, you say!" Hearing that Xuanyuan Hao asked for his help, Murong Xuanji readily agreed, and his mood became a little better, unlike before, when he had a sense of alienation that was excluded by Xuanyuan Hao.

"You go to Murong Mansion and let your eldest mother enter the palace again tomorrow to ask the imperial concubine, remember, you must find the right time to go, it is best if there are other concubines there." Xuanyuan Hao explained to Murong Xuanji.

"The eldest mother had begged her before, but she didn't see her, even if she saw her this time, she wouldn't agree to let her father go." Murong Xuanji couldn't understand what Xuanyuan Hao's purpose was in doing this.

"At that time, the imperial concubine rejected your eldest concubine, that is, your eldest concubine just took the opportunity to anger the imperial concubine, at that time, the imperial concubine will speak out to help your eldest concubine, and the imperial concubine will definitely teach the imperial concubine a lesson." Xuanyuan Hao said calmly: "As long as this matter reaches the queen's ears, the queen will be even more angry." ”

"Is it just to make the queen angry that it takes such a big deal to go to such lengths?" Murong Xuanji said with some disapproval.

"Yes, you must." Xuanyuan Hao said with certainty: "The queen is very power-minded, and now what the imperial concubine is doing should be what she is doing, do you think she will watch her power be taken away by another woman?" And this woman is still a woman she didn't look at before. ”

Murong Xuanji pondered for a while, but also felt reasonable, and nodded, Xuanyuan Hao's method could not be to take advantage of a woman's jealousy. "I'll go to Murong Mansion to find my mother later, but have you already made it clear to Concubine Huangxian?"

"I'm all set. Concubine Huangxian will help even if she looks at the face of the Eighth Prince, not to mention that Concubine Huangxian used to have a very good relationship with my mother, and she treated me well, she will not refuse this. Xuanyuan Hao said confidently.

"Then you have a good rest, I'm going to Murong Mansion, I haven't been to visit them for a few days." Murong Xuanji helped Xuanyuan Hao back to the bed, and after waiting for him to rest, he hurried to Murong Mansion.

Looking at Murong Xuanji's hurried figure, a trace of guilt flashed in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, she wanted to protect her woman well, but it made her worry all the time.

Although she had explained clearly to Li Miaoxin the day before, Murong Xuanji was still worried that she would be bullied by the imperial concubine, so she planned to wait outside the palace gate, and sent Xuanque to secretly protect Li Miaoxin.
