Chapter 425: Reporting
"Have you handed over all the things to the people of the three princes?" In the dark night, the study room of the Nine Emperors' Mansion was still brightly lit, and Xuanyuan Hao sat on the chair in front of the desk, asking the secret words expressionlessly.
"Yes!" The code nodded and replied, "The person in charge of investigating the cause of the death of the second prince this time is a confidant of the third prince, and he secretly handed over the evidence to him without a trace. ”
Xuanyuan Hao just nodded quietly, looking a little worried.
"You go down first." Murong Xuanji on the side saw that Xuanyuan Hao looked a little wrong, so he let the secret whisper leave first, and waited until only himself and Xuanyuan Hao were left in the study before he walked to his side and asked with concern: "Husband, are you worried about something?" ”
"The Imperial Court, what a terrible place." Xuanyuan Hao said with some sighs, "Back then, my mother was killed because she was favored by my father, and I was treated as a proton to stay in the Western Qi Kingdom for many years. But when I came back, I found that everyone here had their own ghosts. ”
"Are you talking about the Third Prince?" Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao's appearance and was a little distressed, "Being in this emperor's family, this is fate. You can't avoid it. ”
Xuanyuan Hao pulled Murong Xuanji to his side, hugged her waist tightly, leaned his head on her body, and said a little tiredly: "Tomorrow's morning dynasty must be a change of sky and clouds. ”
"Will the third prince really give those evidence to his father?" After Murong Xuanji finished asking, he realized that he had asked a stupid question, smiled a little wryly, and asked with some curiosity, "What will you do tomorrow?" ”
"Tomorrow is the battlefield of the eldest prince and the third prince, so why should I be in the limelight." Xuanyuan Hao said lightly, looking like he didn't care about himself.
"Husband, sometimes I find that you are really cunning, even more cunning than the eldest prince and the third prince." Murong Xuanji gently pushed Xuanyuan Hao away and said with a smile: "Every time, you put on an attitude that has nothing to do with you, but I know that you have a ghost idea in your heart." Saying that, Murong Xuanji boldly poked Xuanyuan Hao's heart.
Xuanyuan Hao immediately grabbed Murong Xuanji's weird fingers, gently pulled her to his side again and hugged her, and said with a chuckle: "Saying that there is such a smart lady, I feel a lot of pressure for my husband." ”
"Poor mouth." Murong Xuanji muttered, lowered his head and looked at Xuanyuan Hao and said, "I think the third prince should have guessed that it should be you who helped secretly. But I'm not worried that he knows what will happen, but I'm worried that he will really be able to defeat the Great Prince in the main hall tomorrow? Don't forget that there is a queen behind the eldest prince, will the queen let the eldest prince have an accident? The three princes want each other's eldest prince and queen alone, is there a bit of a disparity in strength. ”
"Whatever the outcome will be tomorrow, it's good for us, isn't it?" Xuanyuan Hao seemed to have a calculation, and when he saw Murong Xuanji's puzzled appearance, he explained with a smile: "If the third prince can really defeat the eldest prince tomorrow, then we will have two less enemies, the eldest prince and the queen; On the contrary, if the three princes can't defeat the eldest prince, do you think the eldest prince and the queen will let the three princes go? When the two forces fight, I will watch the fire from the other side. ”
Murong Xuanji thought for a moment, suddenly laughed, and said teasingly: "You are really a fox, how can those two be your opponents." But what were you just depressed about? You should be happy when everything is in your plan, but you seem to be more tired. ”
"I'm worried about my father. My father is old and in poor health, can he withstand such a result and blow? Xuanyuan Hao said with a little soft-heartedness: "I didn't bring out the evidence at the beginning because of this reason. ”
"Then it depends on whether the three princes have the benevolence between brothers and filial piety to the emperor." Murong Xuanji said a little indifferently: "But I think the third prince is definitely not without benevolence and filial piety, not to mention that his father has been in power for decades, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, and the matter of fratricide is not unclear, so don't think about things so badly, maybe your father is stronger than you think." ”
Xuanyuan Hao sighed secretly and said tiredly: "I hope so." Since I can't do what I can't do ruthlessly, it's not a good thing to let others do it. ”
"Okay, don't think too much, since there is a good show to watch tomorrow, why don't you go back to your room early to rest and recuperate to watch the show." Murong Xuanji didn't dare to Xuanyuan Haole to be unhappy, pulled him up from the chair, and pulled him out of the study.
"Damn it." The study of the Great Prince's Mansion was also brightly lit at this time, and after listening to the attendant's return, Xuanyuan Che angrily picked up a teacup and smashed it to the ground, the angry expression on his face was a little distorted.
"Master, what should I do now?" Seeing Xuanyuan Che's angry appearance, the attendant was also a little uneasy.
Xuanyuan Che thought for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace." ”
The queen, who had already gone to bed, heard Xuanyuan Che asking to see him, and got up to see him again, seeing his expression a little panicked, thinking that he came to see him so late, something must have happened, so she retreated.
"What's going on?" The queen asked in a cold voice. Although he had promised to help Xuanyuan Che keep it secret, he still couldn't let go of the fact that he killed Xuanyuan Yu in his heart.
"Queen Mother, something is wrong." Xuanyuan Che looked at the queen with an anxious face, "The third prince seems to have found evidence that I killed the second emperor's brother." If nothing else, he will hand over those evidence to his father in the main hall tomorrow. ”
"What?" The queen looked at Xuanyuan Che with a shocked expression, "How can he have evidence?" Didn't you stop him from finding evidence that he was looking for you to kill someone tomorrow? ”
"Erchen has already sent someone to stop him, but it seems that someone is secretly helping him." Xuanyuan Che said with some grievances, "After returning that day, Erchen had already ordered someone to destroy all the evidence, and secretly took care to stop those who wanted to investigate, but-" Xuanyuan Che glanced at the queen's cold eyes, and couldn't say any more.
"It's Xuanyuan Hao, it must be Xuanyuan Hao." The queen said hatefully, the anger in her eyes was like two sharp arrows trying to shoot Xuanyuan Hao to death.
"Queen Mother, what now?" Xuanyuan Che was a little flustered, and in a few hours, as soon as the sky dawned, his fate would change drastically.
"What's the panic?" The queen glared at Xuanyuan Che, and angrily reproached: "I haven't panicked like this until the last moment, how can it be a big deal like this?" ”
Xuanyuan Che didn't dare to say anything when he was scolded by the queen, but he was very anxious in his heart, the queen was his only lifeline, if even the queen refused to help him, he would really be defeated.
The queen thought for a long time, looking at the dark sky outside, even the moon was dim, which seemed to imply a bad omen.
"You go back first." The queen suddenly spoke unusually calmly and let Xuanyuan Che leave.
"Queen Mother!" Xuanyuan shouted in confusion.
"Let's go back." The queen waved her hand to make Xuanyuan Che retreat, "Tomorrow's morning court, you will go to court as usual." If the third prince really comes up with those evidences, you can try your best to make it clear that you didn't do it. ”
"Is that okay?" Xuanyuan Che looked at the queen with some disbelief, it was a matter of his life and death, and Xuanyuan Che could not feel at ease.
"If you still want to live, do as I say. Step aside. You must leave before closing the palace gates, and you must not let people know that you have been to my palace tonight as if nothing had happened. The queen explained coldly, "Don't worry, this palace won't let you have anything." ”
Looking at the way the queen swore and swore that she was, although she still couldn't feel at ease in her heart, Xuanyuan Che didn't dare to doubt the queen anymore, so she had to nod and leave first.
Xuanyuan Che left, and the queen, who originally seemed to be strong, suddenly fell on the stool, looking like she had been hit.
"Queen, it's time to rest." Mama walked in from outside the house, looked at the queen's lost soul, and said worriedly.
"Mama, it seems that this palace is really a ruthless mother." The queen muttered to herself, closing her eyes for a long time before she opened them, and her originally empty eyes suddenly turned into a sharp light, as if she had made a decision.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone stayed in the main hall and began the morning pilgrimage.
The emperor looked at the people in the palace with some poor spirits and said: "Is there anything important to start today, if not, retire from the court." ”
"Father, my son has something to say." As soon as the emperor's words fell, Xuanyuan Mo immediately walked out and said with a stern look. Both Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but glance at him.
"Father, the death of the second emperor brother before, the father handed over the Nine Emperor Brothers to investigate, it may be that the Nine Emperor Brothers are busy and have not found out the truth for a long time, the sons and the second emperor brothers are siblings after all, and they feel very guilty when they see the death of the second emperor brother, so they secretly ordered someone to investigate the matter of the second emperor brother, but they didn't expect to make a surprising discovery." Xuanyuan Mo said with a pun.
"What you find, tell me quickly!" The emperor asked Xuanyuan Mo with some excitement, and everyone also looked at Xuanyuan Mo, very curious about what the amazing discovery in his mouth was? Only the minds of the two people are different from everyone else, Xuanyuan Hao just coldly watched Xuanyuan Mo acting there alone, and Xuanyuan Che just stared at Xuanyuan Mo uneasily and angrily, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would say it, and on the other hand, he hated him for being nosy.
"Erchen, Erchen doesn't know whether to tell this murderer or not." Xuanyuan Mo looked embarrassed, and this expression made everyone even more curious.
"I told you that no matter who the murderer is, I will never tolerate it!" The emperor said angrily.
"Yes, it's the Great Emperor Brother Xuanyuan Che." Xuanyuan Mo knelt down and pretended to be sad and said, taking out some letters from his arms, "These are all evidence, please take a look at your father." ”
As soon as Xuanyuan Mo's words fell, there was an uproar in the court, and the ministers exchanged heads and ears.
"What? Hurry up and bring the evidence to me. The emperor stood up from the dragon chair in shock, pointed at Xuanyuan Mo and shouted, took the evidence from the hands of the slave and couldn't wait to look at it, after reading it, the emperor looked at Xuanyuan Che in disbelief, his body staggered and fell to the dragon chair, and the hand holding the evidence trembled.
"Father, Erchen doesn't know where the so-called evidence of the third emperor's brother comes from, but Erchen is innocent, Erchen and the second emperor's brother have a very good relationship, everyone in the court knows it, how can Erchen bear to kill his imperial brother?" Xuanyuan Che knelt on the hall and said aggrievedly.
"And how do you explain the evidence?" When the emperor heard Xuanyuan Che's words, he thought about it for a while, and was not as excited as he was just now, but he still questioned Xuanyuan Che very angrily.
"Your Majesty, killing the prince is a matter of importance, and you can't listen to one-sided words." Suddenly, a minister stood up and said, "Weichen believes that the eldest prince will never kill the second prince." ”
"Your Majesty, the prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, if the eldest prince really committed the crime of killing the second prince, he should not be spared!" On the other side, the minister who is not the faction of the Great Prince fell into the ground.
For a while, everyone talked about it, some believed that Xuanyuan Che was innocent, and some believed that the evidence found by Xuanyuan Mo believed that Xuanyuan Che killed Xuanyuan Yu. R638
