Murong Xuanji felt that Xuanyuan Hao in front of her was a little unfamiliar, she didn't know how to answer his question, and after a long time, Murong Xuanji slowly spoke: "I don't know how to make a decision for you, but the most important thing for me now is to rescue my father and my brother." ”

Xuanyuan Hao nodded calmly and said, "I promised that you would definitely do it if you rescued them, but in fact, I have already decided on this matter." ”

"Did you promise to deal with the three princes with the queen?" Murong Xuanji asked Xuanyuan Hao with some uncertainty.

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Hao nodded without hesitation and admitted, "Now that the queen is at a disadvantage, she will find someone to come to me for help, then everything will go according to my way of playing." ”

"What will you do?" Murong Xuanji asked the doubts in his heart.

"The queen Nianquan cares more about her sons, otherwise the matter of the second prince would not have sacrificed the fourth prince to protect the eldest prince, I want her to regret playing this move, and I want her to rely on me in the future." Xuanyuan Hao's expression looked very indifferent.

Murong Xuanji thought about Xuanyuan Hao's words for a while, and vaguely guessed something, "You want the queen to sacrifice the eldest prince, so that if the queen wants to preserve her position in the harem in the future, she can only rely on you, and you also need the queen's power in the imperial court, right?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji appreciatively and nodded, "Except for the eldest prince, then the queen and I will join forces to deal with the three princes again, and it will be much easier to rescue your father, and I will have some less obstacles." ”

"As you said, the eldest prince was saved by the queen sacrificing the four princes, did she answer your request?" Murong Xuanji asked with some suspicion.

"Forced her to agree. Now that the eldest prince is in prison, whether it is me or the third prince, as long as we come up with some means, the eldest prince's life will be in danger at any time, and his father has such a prejudice against him, he has long wanted to deal with him, but he does not dare to act rashly because of the queen's power in the court. Xuanyuan Hao said with certainty.

Murong Xuanji pursed his lips, a little wanted to say and stopped, Xuanyuan Hao had planned everything, and there seemed to be no room for his own interference.

"When will I be able to rescue my dad?" Murong Xuanji was silent for a while and asked, "I went to the cell today to take a look, although I couldn't get in, but I saw that there were heavy guards outside, I believe that the third prince gave an order to prevent someone from robbing the prison." ”

Xuanyuan Hao shook his head calmly and said: "Heavy guards may be a trace of Xuanyuan Mo, but I think he is not worried about someone robbing the prison at all, but hopes that someone can rob the prison and get your father and them out of prison, so that your father and they will become veritable fugitives, and then they will be justified in ordering them to be hunted down, and then even if they are killed in the pursuit, they will have a good excuse." ”

Murong Xuanji's hands trembled slightly, she didn't expect those people's thoughts to be so deep, she had the idea of robbing the prison in her mind before, and now when she heard Xuanyuan Hao say this, she was a little scared when she thought that she had almost put her family in danger.

Seeing Murong Xuanji's face change slightly, Xuanyuan Hao could vaguely guess some of her thoughts, but he didn't open his mouth to blame, but secretly reminded: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Xuanji, I know that you are worried about your father and them, and you also want to rescue them as soon as possible, but some things are not as simple as they seem, and the things in the court are even more so, and the treacherous and changeable hearts of people are difficult to guard. ”

"Erniang also said that after the accident in the house, she and her eldest mother found a lot of courtiers who had a good relationship with their father before, and also found a lot of father's protégés, but no one was willing to help, and the eighth prince who helped was placed under house arrest in the house, this is the heart of the people." Murong Xuanji said helplessly.

"Whether it's your father or the Eighth Emperor Brother, I will do my best to rescue them." Xuanyuan Hao swore secretly in his heart.

In the early dynasty, many ministers greeted Xuanyuan Hao when they saw him, and the anger in Xuanyuan Mo's heart, who was observing all this, burned in his heart, just as he was worried before, Xuanyuan Hao's appearance would definitely have an impact on his power in the court, and the matter in front of him was the best proof.

"It's really gratifying that the Nine Emperors can come back safely!" Xuanyuan Mo hid the anger in his heart, and said with a hypocritical smile: "I thought something happened to you, and we were worried for a while. ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Xuanyuan Hao responded coldly, glanced at the ministers around him, although they pretended to ignore the chat, but their eyes looked here from time to time, Xuanyuan Hao sneered in his heart and said: "But I heard that the third prince seems to be very busy during this time, it's really hard for you." ”

Xuanyuan Mo's heart chuckled, and Xuanyuan Hao still mentioned this period of time. Although a trace of panic flashed on Xuanyuan Mo's face, he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "The Nine Emperor Princes said that they laughed, what is the hard work of doing things for their father. ”

Xuanyuan Hao had long known that Xuanyuan Mo was very cunning, but seeing that he could push the matter onto the emperor without a trace, he still secretly sighed in his heart that he was not easy to deal with, which also made Xuanyuan Hao more determined to join forces with the queen.

Xuanyuan Hao just smiled and didn't speak again, and at this time, the emperor happened to come to the court, and everyone immediately stood up and started the first thing of the day.

"I am very happy that the Nine Emperor Princes can return safely, and as for the rumors that the Nine Emperor Princes were killed before, I will also order someone to investigate it well." The emperor sat on the dragon chair and said loftyly.

"Emperor Xie's father cares, and his sons didn't expect so many things to happen during this time when they left the capital, so that his father was worried, it was his son's unfilial piety, and he was able to come back safely this time, and it was also his father's blessing, and his sons were willing to share their worries and solve problems for their father, and they would never give up."

"Good, good, good!" When the emperor heard Xuanyuan Hao say this, his attitude was completely arguing with the attitude when he left before, thinking that he had finally figured it out, and happily said three good words in a row, such an honor is not something that everyone has the opportunity to get, and said with a smile: "With the Nine Emperor Princes by my side to share my worries and sorrows, I will definitely be much easier in the future." ”

Seeing that the emperor was so happy, the courtiers below also saw some clues, whether it was the eldest prince or the third prince who also did things for the emperor before, but they had never seen the emperor so happy, and the emperor's attitude towards the nine princes has explained everything.

The courtiers watched this scene with their own hearts, and Xuanyuan Mo, who had not spoken out today, was secretly unhappy in his heart, Xuanyuan Hao was like his nemesis, as long as there was a place where Xuanyuan Hao existed, he would lose his luster, and he finally got a little attention from the emperor because of Xuanyuan Hao's appearance and disappeared, and the ministers who had worked hard to lobby him were also ready to move at this time, and they were no longer as loyal to themselves as before.

Xuanyuan Hao silently watched all these changes, all of which were also part of his plan.

"Father, the son wants to intercede for someone." Xuanyuan Hao looked at the emperor's happy appearance and suddenly spoke.

When the emperor heard Xuanyuan Hao's words, the smile on his face froze suddenly, and dissatisfaction slowly gathered in his eyes, thinking that Xuanyuan Hao wanted to intercede for Murong He, and suddenly had a feeling of betrayal, and wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but was preempted by Xuanyuan Hao.

Xuanyuan Hao has been observing the emperor's expression, and when he saw that the emperor's expression became wrong because of his words, he immediately spoke up when the emperor wanted to refuse him: "Erchen heard that the Eighth Emperor Brother was under house arrest by his father, I don't know what the Eighth Emperor Brother committed? Erchen had a good relationship with the Eighth Emperor Brother before, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that the Eighth Emperor Brother did not look like a person who would make his father angry, and Erchen hoped that his father could give him a chance for the sake of the Eighth Emperor's filial piety. ”

"The person you ask for love is the Eighth Prince?" The emperor didn't react all of a sudden, and when he saw Xuanyuan Hao nodding affirmatively, the anger in the emperor's heart slowly dissipated, and his mood eased a little and said: "The Eighth Prince is indeed filial piety on weekdays, and I have heard about him being placed under house arrest in the mansion this time, I still don't know what the reason is, the Third Prince, I heard that you sent someone to put the Eighth Prince under house arrest in the mansion, what did he do?" ”

Hearing the emperor mention his name, Xuanyuan Mo's whole body was shocked, his mind suddenly became blank, he couldn't think of any reason, and slowly walked to the middle of the hall and was silent for a long time before squeezing out a reason and said: "Back to my father's words, after the eighth prince came back from other places, Erchen found that he ran out every day, always seeing some strange people, Erchen was worried that he would be used, so he let him rest in the mansion." ”

Xuanyuan Mo's reason was heard in the ears of everyone present, and he felt that it was full of loopholes, but no one dared to refute it out loud, and they lowered their heads one by one and waited for how the emperor would deal with this matter.

"I can understand that the third prince is worried about the Eighth Emperor Brother's feelings, but the Eighth Emperor Brother is no longer a child, I believe that the Eighth Emperor Brother has his own sense of proportion in everything he does, and he also has his reasons, if the Third Emperor Brother restricts his freedom by placing him under house arrest in the palace for such a trivial reason, then is it too authoritarian?" Xuanyuan Hao coldly retorted Xuanyuan Mo's words, which immediately made him speechless.

The emperor looked at the tense atmosphere flowing between Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Mo, and both understood their respective feelings, so he reconciled and said: "Although what the Eighth Prince said is right, but I thought that the Third Prince also did something too much because I was worried about the Eighth Prince, so let's stop here, I will order someone to release the Eighth Prince." ”

"Your Majesty." Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Mo thanked each other in unison. Letting the Eighth Prince get free first was the first step in the plan, so Xuanyuan Hao saw that his goal was successful, and he no longer made more radical demands. And Xuanyuan Mo knew that the emperor had deliberately found an excuse to calm down the matter, and he was secretly relieved, so he didn't dare to say more.
