"Bring the four princes into the palace, and I will interrogate them personally." The emperor stood up angrily, saw Mama and Qin'er who were still kneeling on the ground, pointed to the two and said, "Bring these two people into the palace as well, they are important witnesses." After speaking, the emperor left the Nine Emperors' Mansion.

The excitement is also over, Xuanyuan Hao's marriage today can be regarded as a soup, the guests left one after another, seeing that Xuanyuan Jue was leaving, the imperial concubine pulled him.

Murong Xuanji on the side saw that Concubine Huangxian had something to say, so she said intimately: "Baoqing, bring Concubine Huangxian and the Eighth Prince to the study, and no one is allowed to disturb you." ”

Concubine Huangxian smiled gratefully at Murong Xuanji, and then pulled Xuanyuan Jue to follow Baoqing to the study. As soon as the door was closed, Concubine Huangxian looked at him seriously, and said distressedly: "You have lost weight!" ”

Xuanyuan Jue lowered his head slightly and didn't speak, he noticed the imperial concubine when he walked into the hall with the emperor just now, and he also saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and he was still a little distressed in his heart, but thinking of what she had done before, he didn't completely understand her, and there were still some knots in his heart that he couldn't let go.

Looking at the silent Xuanyuan Jue, Concubine Huangxian thought that he was still blaming herself, and said regretfully: "The concubine knew that she shouldn't have put you under house arrest at the beginning, but if I didn't do that at that time, I couldn't watch you lose your mind for the sake of feelings." The mother knows that she is wrong, don't hate the mother anymore, okay. ”

"It's time for me to go!" Xuanyuan Jue coldly withdrew the arm that was tightly held by the Imperial Concubine and wanted to leave.

"I promise you, I won't force you to marry Yan Qing, I won't force you to marry any woman you don't want to marry, don't you leave again, okay?" Concubine Huangxian knew that Xuanyuan Jue came back this time for Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, and if the matter here was over, then he would really leave.

Although he had already known from Murong Xuanji's mouth that his mother and concubine would no longer force him to marry, Xuanyuan Jue didn't feel anything yet, but now that he heard it with his own ears, he still felt a lot in his heart.

"I don't know if I should believe your words or not, could it be that this is just a means for you to let me stay, and after I promise you, you will make a comeback." Xuanyuan Jue looked at Concubine Huangxian suspiciously and said, "Besides, will you really allow me not to marry for the rest of my life?" What if my father talks about it? ”

"Really, will you never marry any woman again except for that girl in Baoqing?" Concubine Huangxian asked sadly, "Is she so important?" Is it so important that you would rather leave everything in the capital behind, and would rather never marry for the rest of your life, just for a woman like her? ”

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Jue answered in the affirmative without hesitation. His answer not only shocked Concubine Huangxian, but also shocked Baoqing, who had been guarding the door of the study.

Although he knew that Xuanyuan Jue liked him, Baoqing didn't expect that what he liked would be so desperate, which made Baoqing's firm heart ripple again, looking at the closed study door, as if he could see Xuanyuan Jue's persistent appearance through this door.

"And what about her appearance? Don't you care either? She's not what she used to be. Concubine Huangxian continued to ask.

"I don't care. I care about who she is, not what she looks like. Even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, there will always be a day when she will grow old, and if the love maintained only by her appearance will not last long. Xuanyuan Jue said very seriously.

Concubine Huangxian finally gave up, and she tried all her means to stop it, but she couldn't dispel Xuanyuan Jue's feelings for Baoqing, and said tiredly: "Come back, although I don't dare to guarantee that your father will agree to you marrying Baoqing, but I can guarantee that he won't force you to marry any woman you don't like." ”

Xuanyuan Jue looked at Concubine Huangxian in surprise, a little surprised by her promise.

"Don't doubt it, this time it's not a lie." Xuanyuan Jue's suspicious gaze made the corners of Concubine Huangxian's mouth flush a wry smile, and repeatedly reassured, "The concubine is old, she can't stand you making such a fuss, and she doesn't want you to leave." You win. ”

"Thank you, Princess." Xuanyuan Jue knelt down happily and thanked him, suddenly thought that Baoqing was at the door, opened the door excitedly, just saw Baoqing's moved eyes, and said with a smile: "Did you hear that?" The concubine still promised me that she would not force me again, so you don't have to run away anymore. ”

Baoqing nodded movingly, walked in, and suddenly knelt down in front of Concubine Huangxian, "Thank you, Concubine Huangxian." ”

"You don't have to thank me, I didn't do this for you, but for myself, I don't want to lose my only son." Concubine Huangxian glanced at Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing, who were moved, and then walked out.

After Xuanyuan Qi was taken away, Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji also went back to the room to change their wedding clothes, and hurried to the palace, the emperor was already sitting on the dragon chair above the main hall, some ministers and other princes also came, except for Murong Xuanji and a woman in the main hall, the rest were men, but at this time, no one was in the mood to care whether she should appear here, but waited for the emperor to interrogate Xuanyuan Qi in person.

"Fourth Prince, this is the grandmother next to your mother, and this woman who claims to be pregnant with your flesh and blood all accuses you of plotting to kill the Nine Emperor Princes, and sent people to sneak into his side to spy on him while the Nine Emperor Princes are amnesia, can you admit all this evidence?" The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Qi without anger.

"Erchen doesn't admit it, all this is not done by Erchen, and Erchen will never admit it." Xuanyuan Qi firmly denied it. No matter how panicked he is at the moment, once he admits it, then he has a way of thinking, and if he doesn't admit it, maybe there is still a possibility of survival.

"She can clearly identify the evidence on you, what do you have to explain?" The emperor pointed to Qin'er and asked Xuanyuan Qi.

"Erchen doesn't know her, and he doesn't know where her evidence came from." Xuanyuan Qi glanced at Qin'er and continued to deny the relationship with Qin'er, "Father, all this is because someone wants to frame Erchen, and Erchen is innocent. ”

"Fourth prince, you said that you were innocent, and now everyone's evidence is against you, so please show evidence to prove your innocence." Murong Xuanji couldn't hold back her temper and walked in front of Xuanyuan Qi and questioned him, "Even if you insist that you are innocent, but ten months later, when Qin'er gives birth to a child, as long as the child and you confess their blood and relatives, you will know if the child is yours or not, and then you will know if you have nothing to do with Qin'er." ”

Xuanyuan Qi was stunned, he didn't expect that there was a child, he had heard people mention the matter of blood recognition before, but that was only heard, and he had not personally experienced it, and now when he heard Murong Xuanji say this, a trace of uneasiness flashed on his face, and he looked at Qin'er fiercely.

Qin'er was a little frightened by Xuanyuan Qi's eyes, and couldn't help shrinking her body, plucking up the courage to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the people can guarantee with their lives, what the four princes just said is all false, the people not only know the marks on the four princes, but the people also know that there is a dark room in the study of the Four Princes' Mansion, which contains evidence that the four princes want to usurp the throne." ”

"Shut up, I'll kill you if you're talking nonsense!" Xuanyuan Qi didn't expect Qin'er to know his secret, so he stood up in horror and wanted to ignore Qin'er, but fortunately, Murong Xuanji quickly blocked it.

"Bold, how can you be presumptuous above the main hall." The emperor looked angrily at Xuanyuan Qi, who had been firmly held down by Xuanyuan Jue and Xuanyuan Hao, since Xuanyuan Che's incident, the emperor was very sensitive to the prince's plan to usurp the throne, and Qin'er's words undoubtedly touched his sensitive nerves.

"Murong Xilang, you immediately go to search the Four Princes' Mansion with the will of the Imperial Forest Army to see if there is any evidence that the dark room and the Four Princes are going to rebel." The emperor shouted loudly to Murong Xilang, although he had doubts about Xuanyuan Qi, but he couldn't just listen to Qin'er's words, so what the emperor needed now was conclusive evidence.

"Obey the order!" Murong Xilang agreed loudly, glanced at Xuanyuan Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly left the main hall.

At this time, there was silence in the main hall, everyone did not dare to speak, everyone looked at the emperor and Xuanyuan Qi uneasily, if he really wanted to plot a rebellion again, then the court would face another big turmoil.

"The queen has arrived!" A thin and sharp voice broke the silence above the hall, and the queen hurriedly walked into the hall in a panic, looked at Xuanyuan Qi, who was subdued, and then looked at Mama and the strange Qin'er, and then respectfully greeted the emperor.

"This is not the place for you, step back." The emperor said displeasedly.

"Your Majesty, the concubines know that the harem women shouldn't come here, but the concubines have to come today." The queen looked at the emperor with a fearless face, "The concubine's son has committed a crime and is detained here, and the concubine wants to accompany him here." The queen also deliberately glanced at Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, who were expressionless.

"Does the Empress also know that your son has sinned?" The emperor angrily questioned the queen, "You really taught a few good sons." The Great Prince poisoned my food and wanted to kill me, and the Four Princes actually sent killers to kill the Nine Emperors, and their purpose was only one, that is, to eradicate dissidents, and they wanted the chair I was sitting on now. ”

"Father, no, you misunderstood the son-in-law, the son-in-law never thought about it like this, father Mingjian." Seeing the queen coming, Xuanyuan Qi seemed to see hope, and once again cheered up to show his loyalty.

"Your Majesty, you are just listening to other people's words now, this is not fair to the four princes, don't you know what he is like, how can a person who only likes to be accompanied by flowers and plants in his life have the intention of rebellion, the emperor is a Ming monarch, and he must prove his innocence to the four princes." The queen pleaded with the emperor with righteous words.

"Queen, I know that you are eager to protect your son, but you already have no certificates, how do you still want your father to investigate thoroughly?" At this time, Murong Xuanji's previous illusion of peace with the queen completely collapsed, and said solemnly: "The grandmother next to you has been by your side for decades, and she is the most loyal person to you, it was she who said that the fourth prince threatened her and forced her to send a killer to hunt down the Nine Emperors in your name, and now the Nine Emperors have lost their memory, and the mastermind behind all this is the Four Princes." ”

"Impossible, the fourth prince is definitely not such a person." The queen always firmly believed in the innocence of the four princes, and walked to her grandmother a little angrily, looked at her condescendingly, and asked sharply: "You said that the four princes threatened you to kill the nine princes?" ”

Mama's whole body trembled at the queen's terrible eyes, but she still mustered up the courage to nod and admit: "Yes, it was the fourth prince who asked the slave to do this." The slave didn't want to betray the queen, but the four princes used the slave's daughter to threaten and lure me, and the slave and maid were dizzy for a while before agreeing to the four princes, and the queen spared her life. ”

"Daughter!" At this time, the queen moved her eyes from Mama's body to Qin'er's body on the side, and looked up and down a few times, even if she wore a gorgeous dress, she couldn't hide the local atmosphere on her body, and she didn't have any aristocratic temperament.
