Chapter 595: Xuanyuan Mo's ill intentions
"Really?" Hearing Xuanyuan Mo say this, Chu Wanwan relaxed her vigilance for a while, looked at Xuanyuan Mo happily and asked, "Are you really willing to accompany me back to the Western Qi Kingdom?" ”
"Of course I do." Xuanyuan Mo smiled and nodded, "At least before I get married, I should visit your royal brother and queen mother." ”
"Okay, I'll write to the imperial brother immediately and tell him that we will return to the Western Qi Kingdom as soon as possible." Chu Wanwan almost danced happily, but soon asked with some worry: "Will the emperor let you go to the Western Qi Kingdom?" Now that the DPRK is in this situation, can you go? ”
"Even if there are too many things in the court, they are not as important as you, in addition to meeting your family in Xiqi this time, I also want to discuss our marriage with them, and it is not a way for you to live in the mansion without a name or a penny."
"Do you mean we're really going to get married?" Chu Wanwan saw Xuanyuan Mo nodding affirmatively, and her face was about to bloom with a smile.
"Then you will write to your imperial brother first, and I will also go to the palace to talk to my father." Xuanyuan Mo endured the discomfort in his heart, hugged Chu Wanwan, and then let go of her and left her courtyard.
Seeing Xuanyuan Mo leave, it was not until his back disappeared from his sight that Chu Wanwan put away his smile, returned to the desk, and began to write to Chu Yuze.
Of course, Chu Wanwan knew that Xuanyuan Mo's purpose of returning to the Western Qi Kingdom with him would not be so simple, but since he wanted to go back with him, then Chu Wanwan would not care what his purpose was, and returned to the Western Qi Kingdom, which was her Chu Wanwan's territory, and some things would not be as easy to talk about as they are now.
"Father doesn't want to see me? Why? Xuanyuan Mo never thought that he would be turned away today, and angrily questioned the guards.
"The humble position is also on the order of the emperor, please calm the anger of the three princes." The guard said respectfully but expressionlessly.
"Who's in there now?" Xuanyuan Mo felt that the emperor would not refuse to see him for no reason, someone must have chewed the root of his tongue in his ear.
"This-" The guard glanced at Xuanyuan Mo with some embarrassment, and when he saw his glaring gaze, he had to reluctantly say: "The eighth prince is in the emperor's study, so the emperor said that he can't see anyone else, and he has something to say to the eighth prince." ”
"The Eighth Prince!" Xuanyuan Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know if the emperor has something to say to the Eighth Prince?" ”
"I don't know what I do." The guard shook his head and said.
Xuanyuan glanced at the guards a few times, seeing that he didn't look like he was lying to himself, and knew that he couldn't ask any answers here, so he left angrily, not expecting to meet the imperial concubine when he passed by the imperial garden.
"Imperial Concubine!" Xuanyuan Mo originally wanted to take a detour, but after thinking for a while, he stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"It turned out to be the third prince, why did the third prince have time to enter the palace today?" Concubine Huangxian asked with her usual smile, "Your mother went to the temple to pray for blessings, I don't know when I will come back, have you ever visited your mother?" ”
"Since the mother concubine is going to pray for blessings, I can't bother." Xuanyuan Mo looked at the bright flowers blooming on both sides of the aisle and pretended to be careless and said: "I see that the imperial concubine is so good-looking, it seems that something good will happen soon." ”
"Really?" Concubine Huangxian just regarded Xuanyuan Mo's words as a kind of flattery, and Kenben didn't take it to heart, "I stay in this palace all day, what good can I do?" ”
"No one can say what the future holds, can we? Maybe in a few days, the Eighth Prince will bring you back an Eighth Prince? Xuanyuan Mo said with a smile.
"He, he doesn't even have a favorite person, so what else is the Eighth Princess, I want him to bring me a Eighth Princess." Concubine Huangxian said helplessly.
Xuanyuan Mo secretly observed the expression of Concubine Huangxian, and felt that she didn't seem to know about Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing, and felt even more confused in her heart.
"Doesn't the Imperial Concubine know that the Eighth Prince has someone he likes? Or am I getting the wrong message? Xuanyuan Mo pretended to blurt out inadvertently.
"Does the Eighth Prince have someone he likes? Who exactly is it? When Concubine Huangxian heard Xuanyuan Mo say this, she didn't doubt him and asked in surprise.
"That, no, no, maybe I heard it wrong, it's okay." Xuanyuan Mo explained in a panic.
Seeing Xuanyuan Mo's panicked appearance, Concubine Huangxian felt that he must be hiding something from herself, and asked even more curiously: "You tell me, do you know who the eighth prince likes, you tell me, I promise you let others know." ”
"No, maybe I really made a mistake, don't ask, it's not too early, there is something in my house, I'll go first." Xuanyuan Mo found an excuse and fled in a hurry, but there were endless questions left in the heart of the imperial concubine.
Concubine Huangxian was also no longer interested in appreciating the flowers, and hurriedly returned to the palace to lock herself in the room alone, and suddenly thought of the dispute with Xuanyuan Jue a few days ago, and thought of the questions he suddenly asked, she didn't find anything unusual before, and she always thought that he was deeply touched because she was envious of the relationship between Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, but today's words made her have to look at his abnormality that day.
"Is the Eighth Prince still in the palace?" Concubine Huangxian suddenly opened her mouth and asked the grandmother beside her.
"The eighth prince is still talking to the emperor in the emperor's palace." Seeing the thoughtful appearance of the imperial concubine, Mama cautiously asked, "Master, do you want the old slave to let people go to the emperor's side to wait, and invite him over when the eighth prince comes out?" ”
Concubine Huangxian thought for a moment and opened her mouth to stop, "No need, don't disturb the eighth prince, just let him talk to the emperor quietly." After being silent for a while, Concubine Huangxian said: "You go to find a trustworthy person to secretly follow the Eighth Prince, and see who the Eighth Prince has recently terminated with, and whether he has a particularly close relationship with any woman." ”
Concubine Huangxian's heart always felt uneasy, worried that he would like some women with ulterior motives.
After Xuanyuan Jue left the palace, he originally planned to go back to the house directly, but he hadn't seen her for several days after sending Baoqing back to the house that day, and for some reason, since he confessed his heart in front of Murong Xuanji, his feelings for Baoqing have become more and more difficult.
"Master, it's Miss Baoqing." The carriage was walking on the street, and just when Xuanyuan Jue was thinking about things thoughtfully, he heard the attendants outside shouting, so he opened the curtain and saw Baoqing walking on the side of the street.
"Stop!" Before the carriage could stop, Xuanyuan Jue immediately jumped down from the carriage, "Baoqing, why are you here?" ”
"The Eighth Prince?" Seeing Xuanyuan Jue, Baoqing was also surprised, saw the carriage behind him, and asked casually, "Did you just come back from the palace?" ”
Xuanyuan Jue nodded, looked at the medicine bag in Baoqing's hand and asked, "Are you out to grab medicine for the Nine Emperor Brothers?" How is he? ”
"The Nine Emperors are still the same." Baoqing said a little sadly, seeing the concern in Xuanyuan Jue's eyes, he immediately came back to his senses and pretended to be okay and said, "I won't delay the Eighth Prince, Baoqing will leave first." ”
"Wait a minute." Xuanyuan Jue grabbed Baoqing without thinking, and when she saw her gaze looking at her abrupt hand, she withdrew her hand with some embarrassment and said, "I'll send you back." I also want to go over to see the Nine Emperor Brothers, and I have some things to discuss with the Nine Emperor Princesses. ”
Baoqing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded lightly under Xuanyuan Jue's gaze and followed him into the carriage.
In the small carriage, Baoqing felt for the first time what was like sitting on pins and needles, although she kept her head down, or looked away, but she could still feel Xuanyuan Jue's eyes have been looking at herself, and she has never moved away, which makes Baoqing feel very uncomfortable, and she keeps praying in her heart that she can return to the house soon, and she can get rid of Xuanyuan Jue's gaze as soon as possible.
When Baoqing moved his body uncomfortably, Xuanyuan Jue realized that he actually looked at Baoqing and lost his mind, and retracted his gaze a little embarrassed, and casually found a topic to break this embarrassment.
"Baoqing, is the Nine Emperor Princesses good to you? Have you ever thought about getting married? The last question was one that Xuanyuan Jue was very curious about.
Baoqing glanced at Xuanyuan Jue in some surprise, and quickly lowered his head and whispered: "The master and the young lady are very good to me, they have never treated me as an outsider, and I decided a long time ago to stay in the Nine Emperors' Mansion and serve the young lady for the rest of my life." ”
"So you never thought about getting married?" Xuanyuan Jue opened his mouth again to confirm, "Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and you are no exception, as long as you want to marry, I believe that the Nine Emperor Princesses will not disagree." ”
Baoqing shook his head and explained, "Miss never stopped me from getting married, but Miss also said the same thing as you, hoping that I could get married, but I didn't want to get married." ”
"Why? Why don't you want to get married? Don't you want to find someone to rely on each other for the rest of your life? Don't want to have your own family? Xuanyuan Jue was a little puzzled by Baoqing's thoughts.
"I was brought back to the house by my master, and if it wasn't for my master, I would have died a long time ago, so for me, they are my family." Baoqing's expression looked faintly sad, which made Xuanyuan Jue a little unbearable to continue asking, but he also had a faint loss in his heart.
Neither of them spoke, and the carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Nine Emperors' Mansion. Murong Xuanji was secretly surprised when he heard that Xuanyuan Jue and Baoqing were coming back together, but he still pretended to be casual and walked out.
"Miss!" Seeing Murong Xuanji, for some reason, Baoqing felt a little weak in his heart, "I'll send the medicine to the kitchen first for people to decoction." Baoqing made an excuse and left in a hurry.
Murong Xuanji watched Baoqing leave before moving her gaze from her to Xuanyuan Jue's body, and said lightly, "The Eighth Prince, please sit in the room." ”
"Let's go to the study, I have something to tell you." Facing Murong Xuanji, Xuanyuan Jue's expression also became serious. walked into the study with Murong Xuanji.
"Is there something important for the Eighth Prince to tell me?" Seeing his solemn expression, Murong Xuanji's heart sank, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn, "Is it about my father and eldest brother?" ”
Xuanyuan Jue nodded and said, "I just came back from the palace, and my father still refused to let go. ”
Murong Xuanji snorted coldly, and said with some anger: "I really don't understand what the emperor thinks, let so many traitorous ministers not arrest, and have to care about the people who are loyal to him, isn't he forcing the important ministers to rebel?" ”
"Don't be angry, I think my father has his considerations." Xuanyuan Jue didn't have enough confidence to say good things for the emperor, but Murong Xuanji didn't buy it at all.
