Chapter 601: The Prince is punished
After Xuanyuan Jue came out of the palace, he happened to meet Xuanyuan Mo on the way back to the house, and the carriages of the two were opposite each other, but the road was only so wide, and one of them had to take a step back to let the other pass.
If it was left in normal times, no matter how dissatisfied Xuanyuan Jue was with Xuanyuan Mo, he would not clash with him head-on, but today he had too much anger in his heart and nowhere to go, and now there was an excuse to announce it, so he naturally refused to take a step back.
"I'm sitting in the carriage, but I'm the third prince of the court, and you don't give way quickly." Xuanyuan Mo's groom shouted at Xuanyuan Jue's groom a little arrogantly.
"It's the Eighth Prince sitting in my carriage, and I can't let you go for you without the Eighth Prince's order." Although Xuanyuan Jue's groom is not as arrogant as Xuanyuan Mo's groom, he is also stubborn and refuses to give way.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Mo invariably lifted the curtain and looked at each other.
"I have important business, you get out of the way quickly." Xuanyuan Mo ordered impatiently.
"I also have something to leave from here immediately, or the third prince wants to get out of the way." Xuanyuan Jue said lukewarmly.
"Xuanyuan Jue, don't be ignorant, do it obediently while I can still talk well, otherwise don't blame me for doing it." Xuanyuan Mo, who has always been sleek, doesn't know what happened today, and his anger is very big.
Xuanyuan Jue sneered, Xuanyuan Mo's warning was completely inappropriate, jumped off the carriage, stood in front of Xuanyuan Mo's carriage and said, "I just won't give way today, you have the ability to step on me." ”
"Master." Xuanyuan Jue's entourage saw his crazy actions, and they all shouted to persuade him, but he reached out to stop him.
"You're really not afraid of death?" Seeing Xuanyuan Jue's seemingly ruthless appearance, Xuanyuan Mo also looked at him with some surprise, and said coldly: "Don't be surprised, I don't dare." ”
"If you dare, come!" Xuanyuan Jue looked at Xuanyuan Mo with his head held high, as if he really didn't care that he would ride a horse over his body.
Looking at Xuanyuan Jue like this, Xuanyuan Mo's temper also came up, if he gave in at this time, then his face would be gone, for the sake of face and self-esteem, Xuanyuan Mo would not back down at this time.
"Get out of the way!" Xuanyuan Mo pushed the groom away, sat in front and led the horse rope to warn Xuanyuan Jue for the last time, "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
"Less nonsense." Xuanyuan Jue didn't have any fear on his face, and looked at Xuanyuan Mo calmly.
Xuanyuan Mo glanced at Xuanyuan Jue, and suddenly whipped the horse with a whip, and the horse immediately ran forward, everyone looked at the scene in front of them nervously, and Xuanyuan Jue didn't even blink his eyes and waited for the carriage to rush towards him.
Just at the last moment, Xuanyuan Jue felt someone pick up his body and fly, it happened in an instant, and when he stood on the ground again, he saw Xuanyuan Mo's horse kicking forward and standing up and roaring in the sky because he was frightened, and Xuanyuan Mo also fell from the carriage because the carriage suddenly stopped and did not sit still.
"Eighth Prince, are you alright?" Baoqing let go of Xuanyuan Jue, looked at him worriedly and asked.
"Baoqing, why are you here?" Seeing that the person who shouldn't have appeared was in front of him, Xuanyuan Jue asked Baoqing in surprise and joy, "I heard from the Nine Emperor Princesses that you didn't go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom, why are you in the capital?" ”
"It's a long story." Baoqing glanced at Xuanyuan Jue to make sure he wasn't injured, before turning to look at Xuanyuan Mo who had gotten up from the ground, and Xuanyuan Mo was looking at this side with hatred on his face.
Following Baoqing's gaze, Xuanyuan Jue also saw the hatred in Xuanyuan Mo's eyes, worried that Baoqing would be in danger, instinctively stepped forward to protect Baoqing behind him, looked at Xuanyuan Mo with a cold face and said, "It seems that God doesn't want you to kill me." ”
"Xuanyuan Jue, don't be complacent." Xuanyuan Mo said angrily. Today's incident made him lose face in front of everyone, and he couldn't swallow this breath of nothing. He turned his gaze, looked at Baoqing through Xuanyuan Jue and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion." ”
"Xuanyuan Mo, what's coming at me, don't embarrass a girl!" Xuanyuan Jue shouted at Xuanyuan Mo with some excitement.
Seeing Xuanyuan Jue so nervous about Baoqing, Xuanyuan Mo suddenly laughed ill-willedly, and asked Xuanyuan Jue with a sneer: "Xuanyuan Jue, do you want to stand up for this woman?" She's just a lowly maid in the Nine Emperors' Mansion, do you want to go against me for this kind of person? ”
Hearing Xuanyuan Mo's insult to Baoqing, Xuanyuan Jue's anger in his heart was even worse, and he said mockingly: "Even if she is a maid, she is raised by her parents and has dignity, but for a cold-blooded and inhumane person like you, you won't understand it." ”
Although he was scolded, the more he could see Xuanyuan Jue's concern for Baoqing, Xuanyuan Mo laughed louder, and he didn't care about Xuanyuan Jue's abuse of him at all.
"Baoqing, let's go!" Looking at Xuanyuan Mo, who seemed to be crazy, Xuanyuan Jue took Baoqing's hand and wanted to leave.
"Xuanyuan Jue, it's okay to go, but you or she must leave someone behind." Xuanyuan Mo didn't know when an extra sword came out of his hand and pointed at Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing, "Do you think I'll be like this about today's matter?" ”
"Baoqing, you go back first." Xuanyuan Jue pushed Baoqing away, then faced Xuanyuan Mo and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"Competition! You win me, you leave with people, and if you lose, then you have to deal with me. Xuanyuan Mo said arrogantly.
"Eighth Prince, don't promise him." Before Xuanyuan Jue could speak, Baoqing stopped him from opening his mouth worriedly.
Xuanyuan Jue glanced at Baoqing, saw the worry on her face, knew that she was worried about herself, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, and showed her a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Looking at the interaction between Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing, Xuanyuan Mo finally knew Xuanyuan Jue's weakness, and looked at all this coldly and said with a smile: "It's really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, it seems that the eighth prince is also tempted." ”
"Less nonsense." Facing Xuanyuan Mo, Xuanyuan Jue's gentle smile disappeared without a trace, looking at him vigilantly, and there was an extra sword in his hand.
There was a touch between the two, and the atmosphere was tense so that the people around them couldn't help but get nervous, and at this critical moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from a distance.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!" With the sound of horses' hooves, the emperor's holy decree arrived, and a man in a yellow coat rode a horse from far and near, looking at Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Mo pointing at each other with swords, and said seriously: "The three princes are auspicious, the eight princes are auspicious, the two princes still put away their swords, and the emperor has a holy decree." ”
Although both of them were a little unhappy in their hearts, in the face of the emperor's holy decree, the two of them still had to put down their swords and kneel on the ground, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
Seeing that the two of them were no longer tense, the messenger opened the decree and said: "The emperor has a decree, ordering the third prince and the eighth prince to enter the palace immediately to face the saint, and there must be no mistake." ”
"Yes." Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Jue agreed in unison, and the two stood up from the ground, glanced at each other dissatisfied, and turned their heads disdainfully.
"Baoqing, I'll go to the palace first, you go back to the house first, and I'll look for you later." Xuanyuan Jue saw that the time was pressing, so he pulled Baoqing aside and said a few words, and did not give Baoqing a chance to speak, and hurriedly rode to the palace after speaking.
Baoqing chased a few steps, watching Xuanyuan Jue leave in front of him, and didn't notice a faint worry on his face. Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Mo are on the street of the capital is not trivial, the two of them, as princes, actually fought openly, and the matter has been spread to the palace.
"Bastard, bastard!" The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Jue in front of him, and angrily picked up the horsewhip hanging on the wall and whipped it at the two of them, even if it was very painful, the two of them didn't dare to say a word.
"Father's forgiveness." The two knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Forgive me, you actually fought boldly on the street, did you take me, the emperor, in your eyes." The emperor yelled angrily at the two.
"The son doesn't dare, please ask my father to forgive me." The two said in unison again. Seeing the emperor's angry appearance, both of them were smart not to say more, so as not to cause the emperor's anger even more.
"Come on, drag the third prince and the eighth prince out of the major hundred boards to show punishment, if there is another offense in the future, I will not spare it." The emperor was angry and didn't give the two a chance to beg for mercy, and directly shouted for someone to drag out the heavy board.
Soon the sound of the board was heard outside the house, but he did not hear the sound of Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Mo shouting for mercy, the emperor sat on the chair and calmed his anger, although his favorite was not the two sons of the third prince and the eighth prince, but after all, it was his own son, and when he heard that they had a dispute on the street, he had to do it, and the emperor's mood at that time was angry and angry and hated iron and steel.
After a long time, I heard the slave come in and say that the two of them had finished fighting, and the emperor's anger had subsided a lot, even if he didn't look at it, he knew that if the hundred boards were played, even the iron-clad men couldn't bear it, not to mention the two pampered princes.
"Send the two of them back to the house, so that they can reflect in the house." Although he was still a little worried and distressed about the two princes in his heart, the emperor still put on a stern attitude and said.
"Baoqing, Baoqing!" Murong Xuanji shouted a few times, but Baoqing didn't respond, she turned her head curiously, and saw Baoqing frowning and dazed, looking preoccupied. Murong Xuanji patted the back of her hand lightly and asked, "Baoqing, what's wrong with you?" Why do you look absent-minded? ”
"Miss!" Baoqing, who came back to his senses, looked at Murong Xuanji, and stopped talking a little.
"Say anything, don't spit it out." Murong Xuanji said calmly, "You came back from before with a preoccupied look, did something happen in the Eastern Tang Kingdom?" ”
Baoqing shook his head, thought for a while and said honestly: "Not in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, but in the capital." As soon as I returned to the capital, I saw the third prince driving a carriage towards the eighth prince, I rescued the eighth prince, there was a dispute between the two, pointing at each other with swords, and then the emperor's holy decree arrived, let the two enter the palace, I don't know what the situation in the palace is now, miss, I am worried that something will happen to the eighth prince. ”
"How can things be so big?" Just listening to Baoqing say this, Murong Xuanji could also imagine what the scene was like at that time, and he could guess how angry the emperor should be when he knew it, knowing that Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Jue would not be released so easily after entering the palace.
