Chapter 606: Husband and wife enter the palace together
"Lady, how did you find out that my poisoning was fake?" In the corridor back, Xuanyuan Hao asked Murong Xuanji curiously, this matter should not be discovered by anyone other than himself and his uncle, Xuanyuan Hao wanted to know how Murong Xuanji found out that he had deceived her, and when did she find out, after all, when the people from Murong Mansion came before, she didn't look like she already knew, but after sending people back, her attitude changed completely.
Mentioning this, Murong Xuanji glared at Xuanyuan Hao fiercely again, but he didn't embarrass him too much, and still kindly told him the answer: "Father once said that he felt similar to your poisoning, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and I didn't care too much about it at the time, I sent my father and them away in the afternoon, and my father suddenly told me that he remembered that your mother had been poisoned like this more than ten years ago, and the situation was exactly the same, and later your uncle took your mother back to the Eastern Tang Kingdom to take care of it, and your mother recovered." ”
"But even so, how do you know that my uncle and I planned it?" Xuanyuan Hao still asked with some puzzlement.
"Before, I sent people to various countries to look for an antidote, I knew that your uncle loved you the most, so I asked Xuanque to go to the Eastern Tang Kingdom to find your uncle, but your uncle's reaction at the time was too calm, saying that he had never seen such a poison, and there was no antidote, but I was worried about you and the affairs of Murong Mansion, so I didn't find out your uncle's abnormality at that time, and then your uncle wrote to say that there was an antidote that could cure all kinds of poisons, plus what my father said today, as long as you think about it carefully, there are still many flaws to be found." Murong Xuanji's answer made Xuanyuan Hao suddenly realize.
"Lady, you are really too smart, fortunately you are my lady, not my opponent, otherwise an opponent like you will be difficult to deal with." Xuanyuan Hao said flatteringly, and she also admired Murong Xuanji's thoughtfulness in her heart, and she discovered all these problems that she had ignored.
"Less poor. Since you know how powerful I am, you are not allowed to hide things from me in the future. Murong Xuanji warned Xuanyuan Hao, took two steps, suddenly paused, turned to look at him, and asked suspiciously: "Tell me, do you have anything else to hide from me." ”
Xuanyuan Hao's heart chuckled, he thought about it quickly in his heart, and finally nodded honestly and said: "Yes, in fact, I suspect that the Eighth Emperor Brother has always known about the queen, and he has been helping me secretly." ”
Although Murong Xuanji was a little angry knowing that Xuanyuan Hao still had something to hide from him, Murong Xuanji still felt very relieved to see that he could tell himself honestly now.
"I heard that the queen built a Buddhist hall in the palace, and now she eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and she is no longer as angry as before, many concubines feel that the queen has changed a lot, and I also heard that the queen took the initiative to ask the emperor to bring the imperial concubine back." Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao with a serious expression and said.
"That's what's so terrible about the Queen." Xuanyuan Hao said coldly, "A woman who is scheming and can ignore her son's life and death, do you think she is really good?" ”
"Although I don't know if the queen is really good, I can tell that every time you talk about the queen, you get angry and hate her." Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao calmly, and was very puzzled to see the hatred in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji, his breathing fluctuated slightly, and only when his emotions slowly calmed down did he speak: "I told you before that my mother was killed by someone, and the person who killed my mother was the queen. ”
"How is that possible?" Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao in surprise, seeing his expressionless face, knowing that he was not lying, he thought for a while before calmly asking, "How did you know about this matter?" After all, you were still young when your mother died, and even if the queen killed your mother, wouldn't your father ignore it? How could he allow such cruel things to happen in the harem? ”
Xuanyuan Hao took a deep breath, looked up at the moonlight in the sky for a while, and waited until the sourness on the tip of his nose subsided, before he could calmly look at Murong Xuanji and said: "That is the queen's power is very big, she is not only the king of the harem, but also the power of her mother's family in the imperial court should not be underestimated, plus her son is the eldest son, she and the huge forces behind her naturally hope that the eldest prince can become the prince in the future." But the appearance of my mother's concubine made her feel a strong sense of crisis, especially after my mother gave birth to me, my father's love for her is increasing day by day, not only the queen, but every woman in the harem is jealous that my mother can get my father's favor, the queen is not only jealous, but also worried that one day the existence of my mother and my mother and me will threaten her and her son's status, so she united with those forces behind her to frame my mother and me, and my mother died in order to protect me. ”
So Xuanyuan Hao said these things calmly, but Murong Xuanji still felt that when he mentioned his mother every day, his emotions were very sad and sad, and Murong Xuanji suddenly hugged him and comforted him silently.
Xuanyuan Hao knew that Murong Xuanji was comforting herself, and she hugged her tightly and never let go for a long time.
"I didn't know these before, after the death of my mother's concubine, my father suddenly became cold to me, and later even sent me to the West Qi Kingdom as a proton, at that time I resented him very much in my heart, in those years in the West Qi Kingdom, if it wasn't for my uncle's secret care, maybe I would have died, although I later learned that my father did it to protect me, but so many years of resentment is not so quick to let go." Xuanyuan Hao hugged his face and whispered the sadness in his heart.
Later, Murong Xuanji had heard Xuanyuan Hao talk about it before, and he had also persuaded him to forgive the emperor, but today Murong Xuanji could understand the complex and tangled emotions of the emperor in his heart.
"It's all over, another day we will go to the imperial tomb to worship the concubine, I want to tell her that I will take good care of you for her and love you." Murong Xuanji said softly.
Xuanyuan Hao let go of Murong Xuanji, looked at the tenderness on her face with emotion, and hugged her tightly again.
"It's late, it's time for us to go back and rest." Murong Xuanji pushed Xuanyuan Hao away with a smile, and said deliberately: "Although I promised to take care of you and love you, I haven't forgiven you so quickly for the things you lied to me before, you still have to think about how to remedy it." ”
"I'll take my time to make amends." Xuanyuan Hao smiled and stroked Murong Xuanji's cheek, knowing that she was deliberately not immersed in the sadness just now, he said this, and tightly took her hand and walked towards the courtyard again, "I'm tired." ”
The hand was held by Xuanyuan Hao, looking at the back of him walking in front, the corners of Murong Xuanji's mouth couldn't help but smile, how she wished that she would be held by him for a lifetime and not let go.
The next morning, Murong Xuanji was not worried about Xuanyuan Hao entering the palace alone, and insisted on entering the palace with him, but Xuanyuan Hao had no choice but to enter the palace together.
After entering the palace gate, the two got down from the carriage, Xuanyuan Hao looked at the huge palace and said to Murong Xuanji: "You go to the queen to say goodbye to the queen and then go to the imperial concubine, and after I meet my father, I will go to the imperial concubine to find you." ”
"It's not good for me to go to the Imperial Concubine in a hurry." Since the last time Concubine Huangxian came to the mansion and said those things about Xuanyuan Jue, Murong Xuanji felt a little more rusty with Concubine Huangxian.
"Go ahead, I've already asked the Eighth Emperor Brother to convey it, so the Imperial Concubine should be waiting for you in the palace now." Xuanyuan Hao didn't know Murong Xuanji's complicated thoughts, and smiled and persuaded her.
"Okay, come to me quickly after you meet your father, I actually don't like to stay in this palace, it's too breathless." Murong Xuanji said without hesitation, but saw Xuanyuan Hao looking at him helplessly, made a grimace at him, and then walked in the direction of the harem.
Xuanyuan Hao looked at Murong Xuanji's back as he walked farther and farther, took a deep breath, and cheered up and walked in the other direction.
Stepping into the emperor's study, Xuanyuan Hao could also feel the breathless feeling that Murong Xuanji said, and seeing the emperor sitting at the desk looking at him with a kind face, Xuanyuan Hao's heart was a little mixed.
"The son of the emperor greets his father." Before Xuanyuan Hao could kneel down to say goodbye, he was stopped by the emperor.
"No need to be polite, sit down." After the emperor saw Xuanyuan Hao sitting down, he asked with concern: "Are you all well?" ”
"If I go back to my father's words, I have already recovered, and this time thanks to my uncle's help in finding the antidote, I was able to wake up safe and sound." Xuanyuan Hao observed the emperor's reaction as he spoke, and saw that a flash of light flashed in his eyes when he heard him mention Wei Yushu, but it was too much, and Xuanyuan Hao didn't see clearly what kind of emotions were hidden in that light.
"He saved my son, and I should thank him well." The emperor smiled kindly, making people feel no ill intentions.
"No need, Erchen has already written to his uncle after waking up, expressing his gratitude to him." Xuanyuan Hao said euphemistically.
The back and forth conversation with the emperor revealed a faint alienation, although he wanted to get close to him, after all, the emperor really loved himself, but Xuanyuan Hao still had a pimple in his heart, as if there was an unintentional force preventing him from getting closer to the emperor.
The emperor also felt a faint embarrassment in the room, and he also found a topic in his heart to break the silence, "I have released Murong He and restored his official position, now you should be satisfied." ”
"Yesterday, the people of Murong Mansion have already come to the mansion to visit their sons, and they have also heard about what has happened these days, the people of Murong Mansion are innocent, and it is only a matter of time before the emperor releases them." Xuanyuan Hao's words answered the emperor's question euphemistically, and also allowed the emperor to save some face.
"Now that I have released the Murong Mansion family and you have woken up, then it is time for their family to assist you in handling some political affairs." The emperor said meaningfully.
"There are many talents in the court, and the princes also have their own abilities, and the father and the emperor sent it to the sons and daughters to make the sons and ministers afraid." Xuanyuan Hao said modestly.
"I know what you're capable of, so you don't have to excuse me." The emperor said with some displeasure, "I see that your complexion is good, and you should be able to go to the morning court tomorrow." ”
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Hao didn't deny it, glanced at the emperor, saw his thoughtful expression and asked casually: "When Erchen entered the palace just now, he heard some servants muttering quietly, I heard that the fourth prince is back, I don't know if there is such a thing." ”
The emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Hao meaningfully, nodded and said, "That's right, I did order someone to bring the four princes back." ”
Xuanyuan Hao bowed slightly, smiled lightly and said: "Although the queen always said that the fourth prince killed the second prince, I don't think the fourth prince's personality is such an impulsive person, besides, the fourth prince has also suffered a lot outside, and he has also learned some lessons, and it is natural for his father to take him back." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he quickly asked with a smile, "Do you also think that I have the right choice to take him back?" ”
"Of course." Xuanyuan Hao nodded affirmatively and said: "Although Erchen and the Four Princes do not have much intersection, but when I heard that my father was going to exile the Four Princes, I still felt a little reluctant, besides, he is the elder brother of Erchen after all, and when the elder brother comes back, the son is naturally happy." ”
Hearing Xuanyuan Hao say this, the emperor was overjoyed and said with a smile: "If the queen and the four princes hear you say this, they will definitely be very happy, I hope that those ministers in the court and your other brothers can also think like you." ”
"Rest assured, they will definitely understand their father's good intentions." Xuanyuan Hao said complimentingly, "Since the four princes are back, the palace hasn't been lively for a long time, why don't you give a welcome to the four princes?" ”
"Welcome party?" The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Hao in surprise, surprised that he had repeatedly said something that surprised him today.
Xuanyuan Hao naturally saw the emperor's surprised look, nodded with a smile and said: "The fourth emperor brother has been exiled for so long, not to mention those ministers in the court, even our brothers and sisters of the royal family have not seen him for a long time, and he has been away for so long, he may not be able to adapt to the life in the palace, holding a welcome party will not only make everyone happy and lively, but also enhance some feelings with each other, and let the four princes know how much our brothers and sisters welcome him back." Xuanyuan Hao said very sincerely, making it impossible to doubt his sincerity.
