"Dad refers to the eldest prince and the third prince?" Murong Xijie seemed to understand what Murong He meant, "The Nine Emperor Princes are planning to fight with the clam and the clam to fight, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"That's why, I guess." Murong Xijie nodded and said: "I asked Xuanji, it was Chu Wanwan who pushed her off the cliff that day, this Chu Wanwan is the princess of the Western Qi Kingdom, before she disguised herself as a man to stay in the mansion of the Three Princes, and when she was in the paddock, she had a dispute with Xuanji and the Nine Emperors, and now this Chu Wanwan is about to become the third princess, so at a glance, Xuanji's death is inseparable from the Three Princes." ”

"If that's the case, then the decision of the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji to hide for the time being is the right one. Everyone thought that they were dead, and now it was a struggle between the eldest prince and the third prince, no matter who won or lost in the end, it was said to be beneficial to the Nine Emperors. Xuanyuan Xilang calmly analyzed the current situation.

"Since they're all alive, what are you going to hide from us?" Zhou Xiaolan suddenly asked.

"This is what the Nine Emperor Princes meant, I am worried that there are too many people who know the truth, and the flaws will be exposed, and the eldest prince and the eldest princess are treacherous and cunning, it will not be good if they are exposed at that time." Murong Xijun wisely put the blame on Xuanyuan Hao, so that everyone would not blame him.

"The Nine Emperors' worries are not unreasonable, since everyone knows that they are still alive, there is no need to worry too much, but you can't show it too obviously, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others." Murong He thought for a moment and said.

"Master, what should we do then?" Zhou Xiaolan asked a little puzzled.

"Dad, mother, Erniang, in my opinion, you still try not to go out recently, from today onwards, our general's mansion will refuse to see guests, if there are guests who come to the door, they will say that Dad's health is unwell, so that there is no need to meet outsiders, and there is less chance to show flaws." Murong Xilang proposed. "Dad's health is not good, this is a well-known thing, Dad can also take advantage of this not to go to the court, if there is any wind and grass in the court, isn't there still our three brothers!"

"Dad, big brother's proposal is very good." Murong Xijie very much agreed with Murong Xilang's proposal, "The people sent continue to let them pretend to be looking for the Nine Emperor Princes and Xuanji. ”

"Mother, second mother, you must remember that the eldest prince and the third prince are not good people, you must remember not to say anything to outsiders so as not to reveal flaws." Murong Xilang spoke again and told Li Miaoxin and Zhou Xiaolan.

"We will!" Li Miaoxin and Zhou Xiaolan nodded in agreement. Zhou Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh and said: "I really know people and faces, I thought the third prince was a good person before, but I didn't expect his ambition to be so big, since he coveted the throne." ”

"The one who sits on the throne has the supreme right, and who doesn't want to get the throne? At the beginning, the Third Prince was so desperate to help us find someone, I felt that something was wrong, he and the Nine Emperor Princes didn't have much intersection on weekdays, and no matter how I looked at it, I didn't look like a person who was very worried about the Nine Emperor Princes. Murong Xijun said with some disdain: "Anything a person like him does must have his purpose." ”

"It doesn't matter who he is, it's good that we know it in our hearts." Murong Xilang said with a cold attitude.

"Dad, since the Nine Emperors can't come forward, should we help him win over the ministers of the court? I think that soon the eldest prince and the third prince will start to take action, and winning over the ministers of the DPRK and the central government is definitely a step, if the ministers of the DPRK and the central government do not know what is going on, and then they will choose a team between the eldest prince and the third prince, wouldn't it be unfavorable to the Nine Emperors? Murong Xijun said with some concern.

"Don't worry just yet, let's see the situation first." Murong He opened his mouth to stop.

That whole afternoon, the people in Murong Mansion were in the house discussing how to help Xuanyuan Hao, and it wasn't until the evening that everyone came out of the house, with heavy expressions on their faces.

"What's going on in the General's Mansion?" Xuanyuan Che was still in the queen's palace on this matter, and asked his henchman with a serious face.

"After returning home, the general fainted, and then the two generals' wives and three sons stayed in the room until they came out in the evening." The henchman said with a serious face.

"Do you know what they talked about in the room?" The queen asked.

The henchman shook his head, "I don't know, there are people guarding outside the room, so we can't get close." ”

"I know, you go down and continue to stare at the General's Mansion." Xuanyuan Che let his henchmen leave before he asked the queen, "Queen Mother, what should we do next?" ”

"It seems that the general believes a little bit in the news of the deaths of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, as long as he believes it, it will help our plan. At this time, we must be more cautious and must not take a wrong step. The queen cautiously admonished Xuanyuan Che, "Is there any movement on the third prince's side?" I heard that he has been going to the palace a lot lately, ostensibly to greet his mother, but no one knows what he and the imperial concubine are paying attention to, and they must send someone to keep an eye on him. ”

"Erchen knows that Erchen has already sent someone to keep an eye on him and the Three Princes' Mansion." Xuanyuan Che immediately said, "But the imperial concubine has always been in the palace for so many years, is the queen mother suspecting that the third prince and the imperial concubine are plotting something?" ”

"No quarrel with the world?" The queen sneered, a little laughing at Xuanyuan Che's innocence, "In this harem, if you don't have a little calculation, if you survive." She sat from a talented woman to the position of today's imperial concubine, and her status is only me, although the emperor does not love her very much, but he also respects her, is such a woman really so simple without a trace of scheming? ”

The queen didn't believe that the imperial concubine looked like she was as indisputable as she looked, and in this harem, every woman was her opponent, and she would be careful to guard against it.

Hearing the queen say this, Xuanyuan Che realized that he had always had a preconceived notion, always thinking that what he saw with his eyes was the truth, but he didn't expect that there was a trick to hide his eyes.

"Queen Mother, do you want your son to send someone to keep an eye on the imperial concubine?" Xuanyuan Che opened his mouth and asked the queen, as long as it endangered his interests, he would not let it go.

"Not for now. I've always sent someone to watch over the imperial concubine, so you don't have to worry about this. The queen shook her hand and said, "Now everyone knows that Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji have died, and your father seems to have suffered a lot, and in the afternoon, the imperial doctor went over to check the pulse of your father, and now when the emperor is the most defenseless, have you figured out how to deal with the three princes?" The queen asked meaningfully.

"Erchen plans to use Xuanyuan Hao's death to blame the third prince, the third prince and the princess of the Western Qi Kingdom had a dispute with Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji in the enclosure before, this is something that everyone knows, although the princess has always emphasized that Murong Xuanji fell off the cliff by herself, but her suspicion is still the greatest, as long as we make good use of this, we can definitely kill Xuanyuan Mo." Xuanyuan Che said with some excitement.

"Now that you've figured it out, do as you say." The queen did not object to Xuanyuan Che's idea, and nodded in agreement with his approach.

Here Xuanyuan Che was discussing how to deal with Xuanyuan Mo in the queen's palace, and the other courtyard in the palace was brightly lit, and Xuanyuan Mo and the imperial concubine were chatting about gossip while eating.

"Is the mother in better health today?" Xuanyuan Mo took a piece of fish meat and put it into the imperial concubine's bowl and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, the emperor also eats more vegetables, it's rare for you to eat with me." The imperial concubine said softly.

"As long as the mother concubine is willing, the sons can enter the palace at any time to accompany the mother to dine together." Xuanyuan Mo said with the appearance of a filial son.

"That's not necessary, the emperor can occasionally come to have a meal with me, and the concubine is already very satisfied." The imperial concubine smiled, turned to the maid who was waiting beside her and said, "You all retreat, this palace wants to have a quiet meal with the third prince." ”

Seeing that the maids and minions in the room had retreated, the smile on Xuanyuan Mo's original face disappeared for a moment, and he immediately changed to a serious and eager look.

"Mother." As soon as Xuanyuan Mo was about to speak, the imperial concubine made a silent gesture towards him, glanced out, and then put down her hand.

"Although it's in my palace, it's not the safest here, be careful that the wall has ears." The imperial concubine whispered and reminded Xuanyuan Mo, "I have been pretending to live quietly in this courtyard without quarrel with the world all these years, but the queen still doesn't believe me and has been sending people to spy on me. ”

"Is the mother concubine just enduring it all the time?" Although Xuanyuan Mo always knew that her mother was not as indisputable as she seemed on the surface, she never thought that she could be so consistent even if she knew that someone was spying on her, which made Xuanyuan Mo not know what to say.

"What if you can't bear it?" The imperial concubine smiled lightly and said: "What if I catch that spy and point out the queen, the emperor will reprimand her at most a few words, and he can't abolish her as the queen, and then I won't steal the chicken and let the queen remember me, and then it will be inconvenient for me to do anything." ”

"The composure of the mother concubine makes the son ashamed." Xuanyuan Mo admired the imperial concubine from the bottom of his heart, knowing that there was an enemy by his side, he could still act as if nothing happened.

"What did you do with me today? Is it for the sake of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses? Didn't you already know that the person who started it was the Great Prince? The imperial concubine's series of questions made Xuanyuan Mo not know which question to answer first.

"I know that the eldest prince is the murderer, but there has been no clue to prove that he is the murderer." Xuanyuan Mo was very discouraged in front of the imperial concubine.

"Anything you have done will definitely leave clues to you, but now more important than finding clues is your father, I heard that your father is sick, you can go over to him after dinner to say goodbye." The expression on the imperial concubine's face made it impossible to see what she really thought in her heart, and she didn't know if she really wanted Xuanyuan Mo to ask the emperor for peace, or if she was going to ask for peace with two hearts.

"Yes, I'll go to my father's place later." Xuanyuan Mo nodded obediently and ate dinner quietly.
