On the way back, Xuanyuan Jue, who had been silent, suddenly said very calmly: "Today's matter will not be settled like this, Imperial Concubine, I will definitely not let her go." ”

"I don't think my father will calculate her affairs so easily, so you don't have to worry." Xuanyuan Hao also thought silently for a while, and said: "I haven't thought seriously about Baoqing's affairs in the palace before, in fact, the person we should be most grateful for is the queen, if she hadn't deliberately asked people to tell me Baoqing's whereabouts, we wouldn't have rescued Baoqing so quickly." ”

"You mean the maid?" Xuanyuan Jue, who was immersed in his thoughts, looked at him in some surprise when he heard Xuanyuan Hao say this, and asked, "Will the queen be so kind to help us?" Why? ”

"The queen is not kind, she doesn't want to help us, she just wants to use us to fight the imperial concubine." Xuanyuan Hao sneered and continued: "Before the queen lost power, the third prince and the imperial concubine gained power in the palace, do you think the queen is like this?" The queen has never done anything to the imperial concubine, but she just couldn't find a suitable opportunity, and this time she not only made us feel that we owed her a favor, but also allowed her to deal with the imperial concubine in a high-sounding manner. ”

"The queen's mind is so deep." Xuanyuan Jue said a little incredibly, "This is the survival of the harem, everyone is in action step by step, and everyone is frightened step by step." Not only in the harem, but also in the court, which is another reason why I want to leave the capital, I really don't like it at all, and it's not suitable for this kind of deceitful life. ”

"Even if you don't like it, you don't have to leave. In the capital, you can also live your carefree and free life. Xuanyuan Hao took the opportunity to persuade Xuanyuan Jue to stay, "There are too many memories of you here, and the people and things in your memories are here, why do you want to leave?" What's more, Baoqing is like this now, can you bear to leave her alone? ”

Xuanyuan Hao's persuasion made Xuanyuan Jue fall into deep thought, and after a long time, he said faintly: "Besides, hasn't my father not agreed yet?" I won't leave for the time being, and even if I do, I'll wait for Baoqing's body to recover before leaving. ”

"Even if she recovers, can you leave without any worries?" Xuanyuan Hao asked Xuanyuan Jue without giving up, but Xuanyuan Jue never spoke again, just silently immersed in his thoughts.

It was not early when the two returned to the mansion, Xuanyuan Jue stayed in the study alone without sleep, if it wasn't for his inconvenience to stay in the palace, he really wanted to guard Baoqing inch by inch, hoping that the first person she saw when she woke up was himself. At this time, Xuanyuan Jue's mood was very complicated, and his tired eyes looked at him emptyly.

Xuanyuan Jue didn't feel sleepy, but Xuanyuan Mo was woken up by a quick knock on the door, and got up a little unhappily to light the candle, and the dark room left to light up, listening to the subordinates outside the door keep shouting about themselves, and walked to open the door with an unhappy face.

"Master, something happened to the imperial concubine!" The moment the door opened, his subordinates said to Xuanyuan Mo with an anxious face: "The imperial concubine was put in prison by the emperor, and now no one is allowed to visit the prison. ”

"What? How so? What happened? Xuanyuan Mo's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and he looked at his subordinates in shock and couldn't wait to ask, "Is there something wrong in the palace?" How could my mother be imprisoned by my father? What was the wrong thing she had done to punish her like this? ”

"The imperial concubine caught a maid in the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and also beat the maid all over the body, and now this maid is in the imperial concubine's bedroom, this incident alarmed the emperor and the queen, and the emperor was furious, so he put the imperial concubine in prison." The subordinate looked at Xuanyuan Mo's expression and said cautiously, "Master, this time the emperor is very angry, it seems that the imperial concubine is more auspicious." ”

"Shut up!" Xuanyuan Mo glared at his subordinates fiercely, and said disdainfully: "It's just a maid, is it because it is a maid in Xuanyuan Hao's mansion that I want to put my mother in prison?" If they want a maid, I can send them a maid! ”

"Master, this maid is different, she is the maid next to the Nine Emperor Princesses, called Baoqing's maid, so this time the Nine Emperor Princesses and the Nine Emperor Princes are very angry, the Nine Emperor Princesses and the emperor and the queen ask for an explanation, otherwise this matter will not alarm the emperor." The subordinate said helplessly.

"Xuanyuan Hao, Murong Xuanji." Xuanyuan Mo shouted the names of the two angrily, his hands were clenched into fists, and he wanted to break the two of them into pieces, "Why, why do you always have trouble with me?" It's not enough for me to be beaten, but also for my mother to be imprisoned? This is revenge, Murong Xuanji is taking revenge on me! ”

"Master, calm down!" Seeing Xuanyuan Mo's excited appearance, his subordinates were a little uneasy and comforted, "We can think of another way, there must be a way to rescue the imperial concubine." ”

"As long as Xuanyuan Hao bites to death, there is no way at all." Although he was angry, Xuanyuan Mo still had reason to think about it, and knew that things would not go as smoothly as he imagined. "You continue to inquire in the palace, and I will also enter the palace to see my father immediately. The mother must not be allowed to stay in prison any longer, she will definitely not be able to stand it. ”

After his subordinates left, Xuanyuan Mo looked at the time outside and found that it was soon time to go to the morning court, Xuanyuan Mo immediately changed into court clothes and hurriedly wanted to go out, but he didn't expect that Chu Wanwan was already waiting for him in the garden of the mansion, at this time he was not in the mood to deal with Chu Wanwan at all, he just wanted to enter the palace quickly.

"I know something happened to your mother." Chu Wanwan's words made Xuanyuan Mo stop and turn to look at Chu Wanwan.

"What do you mean? How would you know? Xuanyuan Mo excitedly grabbed Chu Wanwan's wrist and warned her with red eyes, "Are you looking for someone to follow me?" ”

"I care about you. Besides, this matter has spread all over the palace, and you have to inquire a little to know what happened in the palace last night. Compared with Xuanyuan Mo's excitement, Chu Wanwan looked at him calmly and said, "Don't you want to rescue your mother?" Is it useful for you to enter the palace to find the emperor so excited? Do you think that this time the emperor and the queen will agree to help your mother and concubine be punished? ”

"Or else? Do you want me to watch my mother go to jail? Xuanyuan Mo asked Chu Wanwan rhetorically, "What else can I do now besides entering the palace to beg my father?" You tell me, what else can I do? ”

"Then do you think that you can save your mother by your excitement now?" Chu Wanwan asked Xuanyuan Mo coldly, "Now it is not you who can rescue your mother, nor the emperor, but Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, if they don't pursue it, your mother will be slightly punished at most, if they have to pursue it to the end, then even if you go to the emperor, it's useless, besides, don't forget that there is a queen, this is a good opportunity to bring down your mother, will the queen stand by so easily?" ”

Chu Wanwan's words made Xuanyuan Mo's excited emotions slowly calm down, and he looked at her indifferently and asked, "So the solution is to make me apologize to Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji?" I can't, I'd rather go to jail than want both of them to bow their heads and apologize. After speaking, without waiting for Chu Wanwan to speak, Xuanyuan Mo turned around and left,

Xuanyuan Mo hurried to the palace to see the emperor, but was turned away, although he was mentally prepared, but when he heard those minions relay the emperor's words, saying that the emperor didn't want to see him, Xuanyuan Mo was still a little hurt.

"You go in and tell your father, and say that I must see him today, and I won't leave if I don't see my father." Xuanyuan Mo stubbornly stood outside the emperor's house and waited, from the dawn of the sky until the sun came out, the emperor never came out to see Xuanyuan Mo, nor did he announce that he would let him in.

"Baoqing, are you awake?" At dawn, Baoqing, who had been sleeping, finally opened her eyes slowly, and Murong Xuanji called out to her excitedly, "Baoqing, wake up, can you see me?" ”

"Miss." Baoqing called out to Murong Xuanji weakly, and just wanted to move, but she felt a pain all over her body like a heart, which made her entire brow wrinkle.

"Baoqing, don't move." Even looking at such a Baoqing, Murong Xuanji seemed to be able to feel the pain on her body, and said distressedly: "You still have injuries on your body now, bear with it, it will heal soon, and I will take you back to the house when you are better." ”

Although it was very painful, Baoqing still tried to endure it, nodded lightly, and wanted to say something more, when he heard the footsteps of someone entering the house, so he looked behind Murong Xuanji, and found that the person who came in was Concubine Huangxian, and Xuanyuan Jue, her face flashed a lot of complicated expressions, and finally said to Murong Xuanji with some excitement: "Miss, I don't want to see the Eighth Prince, please!" ”

"Baoqing!" Murong Xuanji looked at Baoqing helplessly, seeing that her excited appearance would hurt herself, she blurted out a promise, "Okay, okay, I won't let him in, don't get excited." Seeing that Baoqing turned his face away, not wanting to see Xuanyuan Jue's attitude was very resolute, Murong Xuanji had no choice but to stand up and walk over to stop Xuanyuan Jue from approaching.

"I want to see Baoqing, I want to know how she is now?" Xuanyuan Jue asked excitedly, wanting to push Murong Xuanji into to find Baoqing, but was stopped by Murong Xuanji again.

"Po is sober." Murong Xuanji's words made Xuanyuan Jue calm down, looked at Murong Xuanji in surprise, and then looked at the inner room again, and was even more eager to go in to find Baoqing.

"The Eighth Prince." Murong Xuanji couldn't help but raise her voice a little, looked at Xuanyuan Jue with sharp eyes, and said with a tough attitude: "I know that you want to see Baoqing very much now, but she is still injured, she doesn't want to see you, your appearance will only make her more excited, and make the injury more serious." ”

"Damn it." Xuanyuan Jue wanted to see Baoqing again, but he didn't want her to be hurt, and the complicated feelings in his heart made him have nowhere to vent, and finally slammed his anger against the wall.

"The Eighth Prince!" Murong Xuanji and Concubine Huangxian grabbed him in unison, and Concubine Huangxian shouted at him angrily: "What kind of situation are you going to force yourself to for a woman?" ”

"Leave me alone!" Xuanyuan Jue shook off Concubine Huangxian's hand vigorously, looked at her angrily and said, "You just leave me alone, okay?" Why are you forcing me? Do you really want to drive me to death? After finishing speaking, Xuanyuan Jue rushed out of the house angrily, leaving behind the sad Imperial Concubine and the helpless Murong Xuanji.

"Huangxian Concubine, don't take the words of the Eighth Prince to heart, he is in a bad mood now!" After Murong Xuanji said these words, he also found how pale and powerless these comforting words were, looking at the way Concubine Huangxian was hit, he was afraid that she would not be able to stand steadily, so he helped her sit down slowly.

Concubine Huangxian shook her hand, and waited until her emotions slowly calmed down before she said unheartedly: "He is a child conceived and born in October by this palace, and now he is hanging on this palace to force her, this palace is doing this for her good, why can't she understand the hard work of this palace?" Ben just wants the best for her children like other mothers. ”

"Imperial Concubine!" Murong Xuanji opened her mouth and shouted, but some words were blocked in her throat, she wanted to say it but couldn't say it, she couldn't blame Concubine Huangxian for doing it wrong, after all, it was a mother's wish, maybe she would do the same when she had a child herself in the future, wanting to give her child the best of everything.
