As soon as Xuanyuan Hao walked out of the palace and was about to return home, he was stopped by the eldest prince, who looked at Xuanyuan Hao angrily and said: "Although my father handed over the investigation to you, I will not let Yubai die, I will personally investigate this matter." ”

"If the eldest prince wants to investigate in person, I can't stop it, and the eldest prince doesn't need to tell me about your actions." Xuanyuan Hao said indifferently.

"There are many suspicious deaths of the second emperor's brother, and the first person to be suspected is you Xuanyuan Hao." The eldest prince was a little angry.

"Big brother." The fourth prince looked at the eldest prince nervously, worried that he would say something disturbing, smiled apologetically at Xuanyuan Hao, and then pulled the eldest prince away.

"It's really funny, the second prince is dead, and now he is the first to suspect you without evidence, it's crazy. Ninth brother, don't take the words of the eldest emperor brother to heart, he is also sad because of the sudden misfortune of the second emperor brother. The Eighth Prince comforted Xuanyuan Hao on the side.

"Starling, I'm fine. Actually, I can also understand the mood of the eldest prince. He has always had a good relationship with the second prince, and their relationship with me has always been hostile, and now that the second prince has an accident, it is normal to suspect me, I believe that not only the eldest prince will suspect me, but there must also be many people in the court who suspect that I am the murderer. Xuanyuan Hao said calmly.

"No, Starling believes you're not such a person. When the time comes, you can find out the person who killed the second emperor brother and you will be able to return your innocence, remember, if you need help, open your mouth, don't be embarrassed, two brothers. The Eighth Prince patted Xuanyuan Hao's shoulder and said.

"Daddy." Qi Fangfei saw Xuanyuan Hao and the Eighth Prince also leave before she came out of the corner and called out to Prime Minister Qi Yang.

"Why are you here? This is not the place to be. Qi Yang glanced around, and found that everyone was almost gone, so he whispered to blame Qi Fangfei.

"Every day when my father goes back to the house, he either stays in the study to deal with official business, or goes to other aunts, and my daughter hasn't seen her father for a long time, so she wants to come to pick up her father." Qi Fangfei said aggrievedly.

Hearing Qi Fangfei say this, Qi Yang's heart softened, and he coaxed her and said, "Okay, it's Dad's, it's not Dad's, it's okay to go back to Dad to eat with you today." ”

"Good! Dad, let's go back quickly. Qi Fangfei, who was originally sad, immediately laughed, took Qi Yang's arm and walked towards the carriage, "Dad, when I was waiting for you just now, I saw that the eldest prince and the ninth prince seemed to be arguing, what do you suspect or not, is there something wrong in the palace?" ”

Qi Yang sighed and said without any doubt: "The second prince was killed last night, and the eldest prince originally wanted to investigate, but the emperor handed over this matter to the ninth prince. The Nine Emperors were at odds with the Second Emperor before, and the Emperor understood that this favored the Nine Emperors, no wonder the eldest prince was angry. ”

"There is no evidence, why should the eldest prince suspect the Nine Emperors." Qi Fangfei said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's not your business, don't ask, and don't say a word more." Qi Yang sternly warned Qi Fangfei.

Although Qi Fangfei smiled and nodded in agreement, she had all kinds of doubts in her heart. I plan to find an excuse to leave first and go to Xuanyuan Hao to ask things clearly.

"Miss, Miss, the Nine Emperor Princes are back." Murong Xuanji, who had been staying in the pavilion, heard Baoyue's cry and couldn't wait to run towards the gate.

"Hee-hee." Murong Xuanji saw Xuanyuan Hao coming back safely, and ran over excitedly and hugged him tightly, "Great, you're back, it's good if you come back, I'm so worried about you." ”

"Fool, I said I would protect myself." Xuanyuan Hao pushed Murong Xuanji away, saw the worried tears on her face, and gently wiped her away with his fingertips.

Murong Xuanji, who slowly calmed down, immediately asked worriedly, "Father called you to enter the palace because the second prince was killed, right?" ”

"Let's go to the study." Xuanyuan Hao took Murong Xuanji's hand and walked into the study, no one was allowed to disturb him, and after closing the door, Xuanyuan Hao said with a solemn face: "The eldest prince and the ministers of the court asked the father to find out about the killing of the second prince, and the eldest prince even volunteered to be responsible for this matter, but my father handed this matter over to me to investigate. ”

"Father asked you to investigate?" Murong Xuanji couldn't help frowning, "What does Father mean?" It is a well-known thing that you and the second prince have always been at odds, and it stands to reason that the father will try to let you avoid suspicion, why should you deal with the matter? ”

"I'm also a little puzzled, I originally planned to go to my father alone to ask for clarity after going to the court, but my father refused to see everyone, so I came back first." Xuanyuan Hao was also at a loss.

"According to common sense, you should indeed avoid suspicion, as we discussed before, there will definitely be some people who suspect that you killed the second prince, I think the emperor did this to gag those people's mouths." Murong Xuanji thought for a while and said analytically: "First of all, the emperor asked you to investigate the death of the second prince, which means that the emperor believes that you are innocent, and secondly, I think the emperor let you investigate to avoid some people trying to frame you." ”

"You mean the Great Prince?" Xuanyuan Hao immediately heard what Murong Xuanji was saying.

"The eldest prince and the second prince have a good relationship, and both of them were born to the queen, and it is reasonable for the eldest prince to take the initiative to investigate the death of the second prince, but I ordered Xuanque to investigate the death of the second prince today and found a few suspicious points." Murong Xuanji told Xuanyuan Hao about the two suspicious points found by Xuanque, "As long as you follow the clues of several major killer organizations on the rivers and lakes to investigate, you will definitely find something." I have asked Xuanque to pay attention to the movements of the eldest prince, and I always feel that the eldest prince is suspicious. ”

Xuanyuan Hao smiled sarcastically and said to Murong Xuanji: "If it was really the eldest prince who killed the second prince in order to blame me, it would be really ridiculous, after retiring from the dynasty today, do you know what the eldest prince said to me?" He said that I was the first person who was most suspicious of killing the second prince. ”

"I don't think everyone, including the eldest prince, thought that the emperor would hand over the investigation of the second prince to you. If it is really the Great Prince's people who did it in order to frame you, then your situation is dangerous, and you must be careful yourself. Murong Xuanji couldn't help but worry.

"I will, don't let me cāo heart, lady." Xuanyuan Hao caressed Murong Xuanji's face and assured her. "Father's mind is getting harder and harder to guess, why did he do this?"

"That's because my father really loves you, I think there are more women around him in this life, what he loves most is your mother, no matter how many princes he has, he only cares about you, he sent you to Xiqi Kingdom as a proton to protect you from growing up safely, and my father really has good intentions for you. Now that my father has handed over the investigation of the second prince to you, he also wants you to prove your innocence, and also let the ministers of the court and the central government see your ability, which is to pave the way for your future accession to the throne. Murong Xuanji said what he thought.

"I said I don't care about the throne at all, as long as I'm with you, I don't care about the ends of the earth." Xuanyuan Hao hugged Murong Xuanji tightly in his arms and said affectionately.

"Me too, just being with you is enough." Murong Xuanji buried her cheeks in Xuanyuan Hao's chest, wrapped her hands tightly around his waist, thought of the other two people, and said with some uneasiness: "I don't know why Chu Yuze and Yu Xinya haven't gone back yet, I don't know what their purpose is in staying in the Northern Netherworld?" ”

"No matter what their purpose is, we will wait and see, you are now my princess Murong Xuanji, not Yu Xuanji of the Western Qi Kingdom, don't worry, I will stay by your side and take care of you if anything." Xuanyuan Hao comforted her.

"Yu Xuanji is no longer a person who does not exist in Zài, and now by your side is a woman who loves you deeply." Although she was a little shy, Murong Xuanji still mustered up the courage to say, but she got an affectionate kiss from Xuanyuan Hao.

The two chatted warmly in the room, but they didn't expect that these words were all heard by Qi Fangfei, who came to find Xuanyuan Hao.

Qi Fangfei was originally curious that there were no guards guarding the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, but she didn't expect to hear such a conversation between Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao. Qi Fangfei nervously clutched the clothes at the neckline, and quietly left when she heard that the conversation between the two was over.

After coming out of the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, the words spoken by Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao were still circling in Qi Fangfei's mind. Qi Fangfei always thought that the emperor was good to him in order to make up for the guilt of sending Xuanyuan Hao to be a proton, but he didn't expect the emperor's mind to be so deep, and there were reasons why others didn't know, if it was really as Murong Xuanji said, then Xuanyuan Hao would be the emperor in the future, thinking of this, Qi Fangfei's heart was even more firm, Qi Fangfei secretly swore in her heart that no matter what means were used, she must become the woman by Xuanyuan Hao's side, and it was best to drive away Murong Xuanji's woman, Become the new mistress of the Nine Emperors' Mansion.

There is also that Yu Xuanji, Qi Fangfei vaguely remembered that she had heard Chu Yuze talk about such a person, and seemed to have been looking for such a person, but she didn't expect that Yu Xuanji was Murong Xuanji, and suddenly a thought appeared in Qi Fangfei's mind, if Murong Xuanji was gone, then would it be easier for him to get closer to Xuanyuan Hao.

"Murong Xuanji, don't blame me for being ruthless, you forced me." The corners of Qi Fangfei's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, which made people shudder a little.

"I want to see your Eighth Prince." Qi Fangfei came to the place where Chu Yuze lived, and said to the guard at the door with some arrogance.

"Our master is not a guest today, so the girl should please go back." The guard at the door said coldly.

Qi Fangfei was a little angry when she heard the rejection, but she still said patiently: "You tell your master, just say that the daughter of the prime minister of the Northern Netherworld has something important to tell him, and you must see him today." ”

The guard heard Qi Fangfei's self-reported identity, thinking that Chu Yuze was still in the Northern Netherworld, and was worried that he would offend the prime minister of the Northern Netherworld, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed to pass the word for Qi Fangfei.

"How could that woman come to you?" Yu Xinya, who was with Chu Yuze, heard Qi Fangfei coming to Chu Yuze, and asked with some dissatisfaction, even more puzzled, "Is there any intersection between you?" ”

"What, you're jealous? It's just a woman. Chu Yuze leaned lazily on the bed, one hand hooked Yu Xinya's chin and teased.

Yu Xinya unceremoniously pushed Chu Yuze's hand away, got up and walked to the table and sat down, and said nonchalantly: "I won't be angry for an inexplicable woman, don't forget that we are only in a cooperative relationship now, people on the same boat, I don't want to capsize because of your carelessness." ”

Chu Yuze saw that Yu Xinya said seriously, laughed, got up from the bed and said to the guards while getting dressed: "You let that prime minister's daughter wait for me in the hall, just say I'll come later." ”

"Yes!" The guards took the order and left. R638
