Chapter 598: Evidence of Innocence

"I hope so." Concubine Huangxian nodded pretendively, and asked meaningfully: "What if you ask the emperor to marry him in this palace?" I remember that Lord Shangshu of the Ministry has a little daughter who is not married, I have seen a few times, that girl is delicate and lovely, has literary talents, and her appearance is not bad, and she is worthy of the eighth prince. What do you think? ”

"Me?" Murong Xuanji looked at Concubine Huangxian with some surprise, a little uneasy in her heart, and said with a reluctant smile: "I am not familiar with the daughter of the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and I have never met, so it is not easy to evaluate myself. ”

Seeing Murong Xuanji's ugly expression, Concubine Huangxian felt that she had come to the right place this time, thinking that Murong Xuanji would understand what she meant, so she said with a smile: "That's right, you see I'm confused." Single-mindedly thinking about choosing the right person for the Eighth Prince, forgetting that you haven't met anyone yet. The Nine Emperor Princesses have seen a lot of people, and they can also help the palace and pay attention to the people who are suitable for the Eighth Prince. ”

"This, okay!" Murong Xuanji nodded reluctantly in agreement, feeling sorry for Baoqing in her heart.

"This palace has been pulling you to talk, and I have forgotten that you still have to take care of the Nine Emperor Princes, I will not delay, and this palace should also go back to the palace." Seeing that her goal was achieved, Concubine Huangxian no longer stayed, and found an excuse to leave.

"I'll send you." After Murong Xuanji sent the imperial concubine away, he was always worried, hesitating whether to tell Xuanyuan Jue about the arrival of the imperial concubine, if Xuanyuan Jue knew, then the two mothers and sons would definitely have an unhappy dispute, but if they didn't tell him, they were worried that he would be obsessed with Baoqing and not let go, and Baoqing would definitely be hurt at that time.

"Miss. Did Concubine Huangxian tell you something? You seem to be very unhappy. Baoqing rarely took the initiative to inquire about things, but the person who came this time was Xuanyuan Jue's mother, and seeing Murong Xuanji's heavy mood, Baoqing forgot his identity and couldn't help asking.

"It's fine!" Murong Xuanji looked at Baoqing with a worried expression, and replied incorrectly, "You go and find the code words, I'll wait for you in the study." ”

Baoqing looked at Murong Xuanji suspiciously, and only after a long time did he go to find the secret word.

"Whisper, you stay in the mansion to take care of the Nine Emperor Princes. Baoqing, you go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom, and the lord of the Eastern Tang Kingdom writes a letter and finds some herbs that can cure all kinds of poisons, and you go and get them back. Murong Xuanji explained to the two of them with a serious face.

"Nine Emperor Princesses, let me go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom and let Baoqing stay in the mansion." The secret whisper didn't know Murong Xuanji's good intentions and said.

"No, you stay in the house." Murong Xuanji refused the kindness of the secret words, and when she saw the eyes of both of them that were a little puzzled, she made an excuse and said, "You stay in the mansion, I have other things to explain to you." ”

"Got it." When Murong Xuanji said this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Baoqing, you will leave for the Eastern Tang Kingdom tomorrow, pay attention to safety on the way." Murong Xuanji opened his mouth and told Baoqing, "If the lord of the Eastern Tang Kingdom asks about the Nine Emperor Princes, you tell him not to worry too much, and I will write a letter for you to bring it over." ”

"Yes, Miss!" Baoqing nodded, and after leaving with the secret words, Murong Xuanji showed a tired look, and it was a last resort to send Baoqing away.

Murong Xuanji is a smart person, although she doesn't know how much Xuanyuan Jue knows about Concubine Huangxian, but it is false that she came to talk to her today, and what she said is true. Concubine Huangxian has already expressed her attitude, she hopes that the princess Xuanyuan Jue is looking for will never be a maid of Baoqing's status. Although Baoqing repeatedly said that he did not want to marry, Murong Xuanji still saw from the last conversation that Baoqing was not indifferent to Xuanyuan Jue, and in order not to let her be hurt, he could only cut off her thoughts at the beginning and cut off the fate between her and Xuanyuan Jue.

After watching them leave, Murong Xuanji also returned to the house and sat next to Xuanyuan Hao, during this time Murong Xuanji was used to talking to him alone who was unconscious, Murong Xuanji firmly believed that although Xuanyuan Hao was in a coma, he would definitely be able to hear what he said.

"Husband, you should feel the same as me, we don't want Baoqing to be hurt, but the most hurtful thing in the world is the love affair between men and women. I really don't know what to do now? If the eighth prince is not a prince, but an ordinary man, I believe that Baoqing will be very happy with him, but he is not an ordinary man, I can't let Baoqing be hurt, will you understand me? ”

Murong Xuanji lay on the side of Xuanyuan Hao's bed tiredly, slowly closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep deeply, not noticing that Xuanyuan Hao's fingers moved.

Ever since Xuanyuan Mo left, the emperor had been sitting at his desk looking at the evidence in front of him that proved Murong He's innocence, and the conversation between him and Xuanyuan Mo had been haunting his mind.

"Why? Where did the evidence come from? After leaving the main hall, the emperor shouted Xuanyuan Mo to the study, threw the evidence in front of him and questioned him.

Of course, Xuanyuan Mo knew where the emperor's anger came from, he took a deep breath and said: "Father, the eighth prince has become a little crazy in order to investigate Murong He's grievances, and today he is even going to the dangerous north above the main hall, and Erchen feels that it will be out of control if things continue to develop." ”

"Out of control? Isn't that serious? The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Mo suspiciously, feeling that his words were a bit exaggerated.

"Erchen is not exaggerating." Xuanyuan Mo said solemnly: "Father knows that the eighth prince has begun to investigate the corrupt officials in the palace in order to prove Murong He's innocence, although the corrupt officials in the court are hateful and must be severely punished, but if you want to hurry, his behavior has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the court, and if he continues like this desperately, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court." ”

Xuanyuan Mo's words made the emperor's anger gradually subside, and he asked him a little sternly, "Do you really want to let the Murong Mansion family go." ”

Xuanyuan Mo nodded, and said with certainty: "At present, I can only release people." Didn't my father find out that many people had helped in this matter? When the eighth prince took out the evidence of Murong Xijie's innocence in the main hall and asked his father to release him, many ministers also came forward to support, and the sons and daughters later secretly investigated, those ministers were ordered by the queen, and now even the queen is secretly helping Murong Mansion, if we are still blindly stubborn, I believe that the eighth prince will still find out Murong He's innocent evidence in the near future, and then things will become more complicated. ”

"Let people go, where will I put my face? It was I who ordered these people to be arrested at the beginning, and now I want to release them one by one, this is not a joke for people to see me. The emperor thought of his face and self-esteem, and said with some excitement.

"This matter is easy to handle, if the father can trust the son, he will leave it to the son." Xuanyuan Mo said on his own.

"You step down first, let me think about this matter again." The emperor did not agree to Xuanyuan Mo immediately, but needed to think about it carefully.

Thinking of the conversation with Xuanyuan Mo, the emperor's heart has always been hesitant, and now that there is evidence, he has to release people, but he still doesn't want to release people in his heart. Suddenly, he stood up and walked out of the chamber towards the queen's palace.

When the emperor came to the queen's palace, he found that the queen was not in the house, and after careful questioning, he knew that the queen was in the Buddhist hall, so he withdrew his entourage and walked into the Buddhist hall alone, and saw the queen kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with a sincere face and praying, so he stood quietly aside and waited.

After a long time, the queen stood up from the futon and found the emperor behind her, slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down and said goodbye, "Why did the emperor come here so late?" ”

"I've come to talk to you." Seeing the queen praying for so long, the emperor's mood had long calmed down, and when the queen asked him like this, he forgot the purpose of his coming here for a while.

The queen nodded, returned to the front hall with the emperor, and personally served tea to the emperor before she spoke: "Could it be that the emperor came here because the three princes of the day were worried about the evidence that proved Murong He's innocence?" ”

The emperor looked at the queen with some surprise and asked curiously, "The queen actually knows about this?" What does the queen think about this? ”

The queen smiled calmly and said: "This morning, the things in the hall have been spread, the eighth prince is going to the north to find evidence of Murong He's innocence, and the third prince has taken out evidence to prove Murong He's innocence, it seems that everyone thinks the same, they all think that Murong He is innocent, and they all want to redress him, why can't the emperor take advantage of the situation?" ”

"Does the queen also think that I should let go of the people of Murong Mansion?" The emperor suddenly remembered that Xuanyuan Mo had said that the queen had contributed to the release of Murong Xijie, and looked at the queen with an angry expression.

The queen was not frightened by the emperor's anger, but nodded more calmly and replied: "Yes." The concubine thinks so. In the past, the concubines were too radical in order to achieve their goals, but since the accident of the eldest prince, the concubines found out what they had done before and felt that many things had been done wrong. Since the people in Murong Mansion are all innocent, why not let them go. Those who are guilty should be punished, and those who are not guilty should be released. ”

The emperor looked at the queen who was not quite the same as before, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and said with a smile: "The queen has changed a lot from before. ”

"The concubines are now eating fasting and chanting Buddha, and their mood is much calmer than before, many thoughts have changed, the emperor won't hate such concubines." The queen asked worriedly.

"No, although your change surprised me, I think it's very good." The emperor said with a smile, and his mood calmed down because of the queen's words, and he also made a decision in his heart.

The queen just smiled faintly, and no longer talked to the emperor about the political affairs of the court, but told him some Buddhist stories and experiences, so that the emperor's attitude towards the queen completely changed, and that night, the emperor's overnight stay in the queen's bedroom soon spread in the harem, and the queen's status in the harem is self-evident.
